HTC EVO 4G Shift handled on video by Wirefly

Kind of unusual for a top-tier third-party retailer to beat everyone else (including the manufacturer and carrier) to the punch with a detailed live video of a new smartphone — but hey, really, who are we to complain? Wirefly has posted a nearly 10-minute introduction to the EVO 4G Shift that Sprint just made official this morning, comparing it to both an original EVO 4G and a Droid 2 so you can get a feel for the diminutive dimensions (relatively speaking, anyway). It looks pretty fast from the video, and the stock Quadrant score over 1,400 would seem to back up that impression — but naturally, we’re sure it can get even better with some careful ROM tweaking and a timely upgrade to Gingerbread. Follow the break for the full video.

Google Celebrates Five Years of AdSense Success

This article was written on June 24, 2008 by CyberNet.

google adsense birthday.pngFive years ago around this time was a really important time for Google. It was when they officially announced their AdSense program that would allow people to monetize their sites. Little did we know back then that AdSense would be as popular and successful for Google as it has become.

In their official press release dated June 18, 2003, Google co-founder Sergey Brin took a moment to explain the benefits of AdSense. He said, “Google AdSense improves the overall web user experience by bringing relevant, unobtrusive, text ads to web pages rather than disruptive, unrelated ads such as pop-ups and animations. By providing website publishers with an effective way to monetize content pages on their sites, Google AdSense strengthens the long-term business viability of content creation on the web.”

Since that time we’ve seen thousands of sites that use Google AdSense to monetize their content. Here at CyberNet, we wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for Google AdSense because they provide us with the largest chunk of income out of the various advertising solutions we use. While there are other solutions out there, we found that Google gives us the best results, so they must be doing something right!

Congratulations to Google AdSense on five successful years in business. It has opened the doors for many people and companies, and it looks as though there’s only more success in the future…

HSTi debuts StreamStick WiFi dongles for video on demand

Is it a coincidence that “stream” and “extreme” are such similar sounding words? Just take a look at the totally radical dude that’s slathered all over HSTi’s CES booth and decide for yourself. The follow-up to last year’s Wireless Media Stick, StreamStick is a wireless receiver geared at manufacturers that will allow them to provide media streaming from a dedicated device to any number of USB port-packin’ TVs, DVD / Blu-ray players, game consoles, and set top boxes, via-WiFi. For the end user, this means that when you plug the USB stick into your TV, the streaming copy of Troll 2 you just rented from Amazon (for instance) will appear as a file that you can click on and play, as if it was locally stored. “The StreamStick,” says President and CEO Ramesh Uppal, “enables content providers, of any size, to access a multitude of media players, exponentially increasing their customer reach while realizing new revenue streams that they wouldn’t otherwise have.” And we know how much you love revenue streams! Check out the PR after the break for all the nitty-gritty.

Somfy’s slick Tahoma Z-Wave and RTS home automation gateway

Apparently fed up with the fragmented state of home automation solution, Somfy, best known for its selection of automatic window coverings, just announced an automated home gateway of its own. TaHomA (get it? Total Home Automation) is very much a device like Mi Casa Verde’s Vera, only with what looks to be a much slicker Home Motion UI and support for Somfy’s proprietary wireless RTS communication protocol in addition to Z-Wave. Unlike MCV, however, Somfy is taking a more managed approach by offering an expert setup option performed by certified dealers. After which, you’ll be able to manage all of your wireless appliance modules and automatic scenes from anywhere in the world — via PC, iPad, or iPhone — thanks to Somfy’s remote support server. You can always make changes to Tahoma yourself or ask a dealer to do it on-site or remotely. Tahoma is set to launch in the US sometime in the first quarter half of 2011 for an undisclosed price. We’ll see what we can do about getting some hands-on time with it right here at CES before then.

Amazon promises tablet-specific Kindle app for Android and Windows slates

You can read your Amazon-bought ebooks on your Kindle, your PC, your Mac, your mobile, and even on your iPad. Now, it’s time to have them, contained in a tailor-made application, on your Android and Windows tablets as well. Amazon has just announced its intention to introduce a free app for reading Kindlebooks on devices running Google and Microsoft’s operating systems, which will expand its device compatibility list as the year goes on. Amazon specifically notes that these apps are intended for upcoming devices, which probably foreshadows the sort of tablet-heavy year we’re going to be having. Skip past the break for the full announcement.

Kodak Underwater Sports-Cam Almost Cheap as a Disposable

LAS VEGAS — Amongst Kodak’s rather mundane CES offerings is the cute little EasyShare Sport, a 12MP waterproof camera (to 10-feet) that costs less than the bag of film you would have bought to go on vacation in pre-digital days.

CES 2011The C123 has fixed focus, and no optical zoom (although you can use the 5X digital zoom), and no listed specs, even on the specifications section on Kodak’s own site. This befits a camera so cheap that you could lose it and not really blink. The LCD screen, though, is a decent 2.4-inches, and you can shoot VGA-quality movies.

And because there’s a computer inside even the lowliest camera these days, you get all the features of Kodak’s Smart Capture, bringing face-detection, motion-detection (and from there, auto-ISO), and auto-everything (except focus, of course).

Finally, there is one-button uploading to a variety of sharing sites, including Flickr, Twitter, YouTube and even Orkut. You’ll need to plug into a computer first, though.

And the price that I have mercilessly been teasing throughout this post? $80. Available March.

Samsung, RealD announce RDZ tech that puts active shutter 3D into the TV instead of the glasses

Just when we were getting used to the introduction of passive glasses 3D into the formerly active shutter-only home arena Samsung LCD Business and RealD will show off another option at this year’s CES that is apparently based on the ZScreen technology RealD licensed last year. According to the two, RDZ LCD HDTVs are compatible with the cheaper RealD glasses already in use in theaters, by making the panel itself an active switching LCD instead. Compared to the patterned retarder passive 3D we expect to see from Vizio and LG, this has the advantage of not cutting the resolution of whatever you’re watching in half, although they would likely still claim advantages in brightness and lack of flicker. We’ll have to let our eyes tell us which is the best approach but the fact this is coming from Samsung’s business LCD division instead of its consumer arm suggests the price of any displays that are eventually released will be something beyond the 3D capable TVs we’re used to so far.
