Switch to Yahoo! Mail from Gmail and Hotmail

Posted in: Email, Today's Chili, Web Sites, Yahoo

This article was written on August 20, 2007 by CyberNet.

If you’ve been looking to make the switch to Yahoo! Mail then I’ve got the tool you need. Yahoo! has a partnership with a company called TrueSwitch which is used to transfer emails, calendar info, and contacts from one account to another. So for no additional costs you can switch to Yahoo! Mail from any of these providers: Hotmail, AOL, Gmail, Comcast, Yahoo!, Cox, Earthlink, MSN, Netscape, Netzero, Juno, CS, Optonline, and Worldnet.

The process looks like it is extremely painless, and it’s kinda funny that I just found this. My brother recently switched from Gmail to Yahoo! Mail because of the better support for his Blackberry, but he had troubles getting all of his stuff moved over. I’m sure knowing about this tool would have made it a lot easier! Here’s a video on how it works:

Also, it appears that Yahoo! Mail has upped their attachment size limitation to 20MB, thereby matching what Google offers. They’re even adding 24-hour mail support via IM, as well as a few other things. Yahoo! might be on a roll here.

Thanks for the tip netster007x!

Ortustech unveils world’s smallest Full HD display, puts Retina to shame

Posted in: Today's Chili
Ever heard of Ortustech? Probably not. But you have heard of Casio, right? Ortustech is a joint venture between Casio Computer and Toppan Printing to develop small and medium sized displays. Today, the company is announcing a doozy with its 4.8-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel HAST (Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT) LCD with 160-degree viewing angle, 16.8 million colors, and a pixel density of 458ppi. Amazing when you compare that to the lauded 326ppi of iPhone 4’s Retina display. However, it still pales in comparison to that little 546ppi panel Casio announced back in 2008 which we still haven’t seen put into a consumer product. Doesn’t bode well for this one being made available anywhere other than the trade show circuit.

Posted in: blu-ray, Today's Chili

The dream of burning 128GB of PC data onto a single optical disc just took a step closer to reality with the announcement of this BDXL burner (model BDR-206MBK) from Pioneer. Buffalo will ship it as both an external USB 2.0 model (BRXL-6U2) and internal SATA model (BRXL-6FBS-BK). The drive handles new 4-layer (128GB) and 3-layer (100GB) BD-R XL at 4x speeds in addition to 3-layer BD-RE XL and older BD-R/BD-R DL and BD-RE/BD-RE DL Blu-ray disc media. Pioneer will begin shipping the drive in November for an undisclosed price — no word on pricing from Buffalo or when it’ll have its act together to ship product.

PSP Go price cut to $200 in the US and Japan

Posted in: Japan, price, psp, sony, Today's Chili, us

Sony just slashed ¥10k off the price of the PSP Go in Japan (effective starting Tuesday). That brings the price down to ¥16,800 or right around $200 — a more reasonable price point Sony has been toying with in the US for awhile. A quick search online shows a $199 listing on Amazon and Gamestop while Sony’s US PlayStation site still has it listed at $249.99. That’ll likely change any minute now.

Update: US price cut confirmed.

Galaxy Tab WiFi-only model hitting Best Buy for $499.99, Sprint 3G model on sale November 14th?

Posted in: ad, Android, BestBuy, GalaxyTab, Google, rumor, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, Sprint, Today's Chili, verizon, vzw, wifi

We knew it was coming, now the WiFi only Galaxy Tab looks to have leaked with pricing in a Best Buy advertisement. According to some extracts obtained by Pocketables, a silver WiFi-only Tab will be available for $499.99 (a buck more than its WiFi-only iPad rival). Best Buy will also be selling a black 3G model (Verizon) and silver 3G model (Sprint) with contract or month-to-month plans. The “and up” verbiage is probably a hat tip to the $599.99 on-contract price that Verizon announced for the 3G Galaxy Tab it will begin selling on November 11th. Unfortunately, no date was revealed for the Best Buy offerings but a second rumor sourced from an inventory spreadsheet (pictured after the break) by the cats over at AndroidCentral has the Verizon Tab coming to Sprint on November 14th. In other words, it’s safe to expect Best Buy to start selling Samsung’s 7-inch Android tablet in November in the run-up to the holidays. See a screengrab of that after the break.

Update: As noted in the comments, the Galaxy Tab doesn’t ship with a 7-inch Super AMOLED display — it’s Super TFT LCD. We suspect that’s a printing error and not a hint of things to come.

Update 2: Sprint confirms

[Thanks, Chris]

Acer Liquid Metal S120 spotted running Android 2.2 on AT&T bands in FCC

Posted in: Android, att, bluetooth, froyo, Google, gps, Today's Chili

Rumors of a 3.6-inch 800 x 480 Liquid Metal handset from Acer have been heating up in recent months. Now the aluminum handset said to be housing an 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230-1 processor just cleared the FCC sporting GSM/EDGE 850/1900 and WCDMA Band II and V making it the perfect candidate for an AT&T launch. The listing also confirms Android 2.2 Froyo, GPS, Bluetooth, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi on the tested model S120 DVT2 (that’s Design Verification Test 2) prototype. With an October launch set for the UK, well, it won’t be long before we see this babe in North America. A bit of documentary evidence after the break.

Google Checkout In The Making?

Google Checkout In The Making?

We all know that Google is working on the PayPal killer, but are they even going to take it a step further? Garett Rogers says that Google has registered googlecheckout.net/org/info but the .com is registered to someone else.

Garett speculates that Google will let users have a Google Checkout system on their sites to accept payments. Google will then incorporate the statistics into Google Analytics so that people will be able to keep track of the amounts sold. Who knows though, this could just be another Google rumor.

Adobe announces Air 2.5 for TVs, tablets and phones, launches Adobe InMarket to package apps

Posted in: adobe, app, apps, AppStore, BlackBerry, blackberry playbook, BlackberryPlaybook, RIM, samsung, Today's Chili

Adobe’s making a serious play for the app space today, and it’s not limiting itself to phones — its new Air cross-platform runtime environment is designed to toss apps on your smart televisions and tablets as well. Air 2.5 supports accelerometers, multi-touch gestures, cameras and microphones, GPS data and hardware acceleration in a variety of silicon. What’s more, the company wants a piece of the action, so it’s going to help developers bring their Air 2.5 apps to market by partnering with the stores themselves, and charging a mere 30 percent to take care of your hosting, billing and app store approval — though we’re informed the service will be free for the first year if you sign up today. The newly-christened Adobe InMarket won’t help you get into the iTunes App Store, as you might expect, but it should assist with the Intel AppUp store… and perhaps a pair of brand-new marketplaces from RIM and Samsung as well.

Remember when Samsung said it had a single platform for TV and phones late last week? We think this was what the company was talking about, because we have Adobe’s word that the Samsung SmartTV will run Air 2.5 apps when it launches in early 2011. Air will also come standard in RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook, but it’s not just for fun, productivity and games there — Adobe told us that the PlayBook’s entire UI is built on Air. We’re not sure quite what we think of Adobe’s role as encapsulated software middleman in the TV and tablet spaces, but we suppose that’s what the firm’s been doing on desktop PCs for years — after all, what’s Adobe Reader but a free way to open licensed PDFs? You should find the Adobe Air 2.5 SDK available on the company’s website today, and a full press release after the break.

Google revises internal privacy practices, appoints director of privacy

Posted in: Google, privacy, security, Today's Chili

Google’s run into quite a number of privacy concerns in the past, and things hit something of a tipping point earlier this year when it was revealed that the company was snooping on WiFi data while it was collecting Street View images. Now Google has finally come back with some answers to some privacy questions it says it’s been studying for the past several months. First and foremost is the appointment of Alma Whitten as the company’s new directory of privacy, who will manage Google’s privacy efforts across both engineering and product management, and ensure that the company builds “effective privacy controls” into its products and internal practices. Backing that up is some expanded privacy training, including a new program that all employees will be required to take beginning in December, and some new internal compliance procedures, which includes a requirement that every engineering project leader maintain a privacy design document for each project they’re working on. Hit up the source link below for the company’s complete statement on the matter.

Nook Color revealed by overzealous screen protector?

Posted in: barnes and noble, barnes noble, BarnesAndNoble, e reader, e-book, e-books, e-readers, leak, leaked, leaks, nook, Today's Chili

Barnes & Noble’s done a pretty decent job of keeping a supposed Nook Color hidden from our prying eyes, but an errant accessory may have jumped the gun — the “Nook Color Screen Film Kit,” to be precise, whose product image is pictured immediately above. CNET discovered the protective film hanging out on Barnes & Noble’s website, and quickly grabbed this picture before it could be removed. Even if we’re legitimately looking at the new Nook, of course, this doesn’t tell us much about the seemingly button-less product underneath. How’s this: We’ll go out on a limb and tell you it’s got a color touchscreen.
