Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 official: dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, Android 3.2, HSPA+

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, breaking news, GalaxyTab, Google, honeycomb, hspa, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, Today's Chili

Here it is, official as official gets: Samsung just announced the Galaxy Tab 7.7. As the name suggests, it has a 7.7-inch (1280 x 800) display — specifically, a Super AMOLED Plus panel. Like so many other 7-inchers hitting the market, it runs Android 3.2 and yes, that’s a skinned flavor of Honeycomb, with Samsung’s tablet-optimized TouchWiz UX layered on top. Inside, it runs the same Samsung-made dual-core 1.4GHz processor found in the new Galaxy Note, along with an HSPA+ radio promising theoretical download speeds as high as 21Mbps. Other specs for the 0.74-pound (335-gram) tablet include 16GB to 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 5,100mAh battery rated for 10 hours, 802.11n WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and dual 3MP and 2MP cameras. In a nutshell, it’s the in-between-sized do-over a lot of folks have been awaiting since the original Galaxy Tab grew stale — a slate that promises faster speeds and some seriously improved viewing angles. We’ll be the judge of that in our review, but in the meantime stay tuned for some early hands-on impressions.

Top 10 Cameras Used On Flickr

Posted in: Today's Chili

This article was written on August 21, 2006 by CyberNet.

Nikon D50 Top Flickr CameraWhen you are shopping for a camera it is often hard to decide which one is the best. You may resort to asking your friends to find out their experiences or maybe you go online and read some reviews. Oh yeah, and I’m sure you have gone to online stores and sorted the list of cameras by the “most popular” which could easily be skewed from a sale that they recently had.

It is tough to find the really nice cameras out there but maybe it isn’t quite as bad anymore. The Yahoo! Shopping Blog just released an article that gives you a list of the top 10 used cameras on Flickr:

  1. Nikon D50
  2. Nikon D70
  3. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT
  4. Canon EOS 20D
  5. Canon EOS 350D Digital
  6. Nikon D70s
  7. Cybershot
  8. Canon Powershot S2 IS
  9. Canon EOS Digital Rebel
  10. Nikon D200

If you want to see a list of the top 100 cameras on Flickr that is updated weekly just visit this site. Looking through the list it almost makes you sick to see how many times Canon appears (I counted 46 out of the top 100).

Global Internet Speedup pushes DNS optimization, wants to bring content closer to you

Posted in: Google, Today's Chili

When you think of factors affecting Internet speed, domain name servers probably don’t top your list. But a consortium including Google, OpenDNS and a number of content delivery networks believes otherwise, and wants to draw attention to DNS optimization. To that end they’ve proposed the Global Internet Speedup initiative. What’s that, you ask? The group wants to append truncated IP addresses to typical webpage requests: that will provide geographic information, letting providers make better choices about how to serve their users.

For example, if a user in Kalamazoo, Michigan happens to have a DNS server in San Francisco, that server might pass the request off to the nearest content network – also in San Francisco. That means having to push data from SF to Kalamazoo, which is obviously a longer trip than necessary. If the DNS server knew just where its requests originated, geographically, it could make smarter choices about content providers: that Kalamazoo user, say, might instead use a Detroit content network.

Not everyone’s on board with the plan; Akamai isn’t impressed, saying there are better ways to speed up the net. But you’ll surely earn geek cred for bringing up DNS optimization at your next cocktail party.

Back in July, we caught a glimpse of the Voomote One — Zero1.tv’s universal remote adapter for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Now, the company has just announced a slimmer, iPad compatible successor to its bulky peripheral, with the Voomote Zapper. Slated to debut at IFA later today, this paperclip-sized dongle attaches to your iDevice’s 30-pin connector, allowing you to remotely control any A / V gadget with the help of Zero1.tv’s free and customizable iOS app. The Zapper’s Room Control feature also lets you catalog all your infrared devices by location, while controlling multiple systems with a single button, thanks to its One View function. Its iPad-optimized TV Guide, meanwhile, allows you to fire up your favorite shows with even greater ease, using the app’s graphically-displayed programming schedules. No word yet on pricing or availability, but you can zap your way past the break for the full press release.

Redsn0w 0.9.8b7 gets tutorial for jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 6, iOS 4.3.5 and 4.2.10

Posted in: Apple, diy, hack, Hacks, ios, ios 5, Ios5, ipad, iPhone, jailbreak, minipost, operating system, OperatingSystem, os, Software, Today's Chili

Just like the Sn0wbreeze project, redsn0w recently added support for a tethered jailbreak of iOS 5 beta 6. While support for the iPad 2 still isn’t in the mix, the latest version — 0.9.8b7 — adds additional support for Apple’s latest beta on the original iPad, and the folks at Smash iPhone have provided a tutorial for those who move to the beat of a different drum. While redsn0w supports a tether-free solution for iOS 4.3.3, if you want to partake in Cupertino’s freshest fruits, you’ll be required to connect your phone or tablet to your computer whenever you power up the device. Also, while download links for iOS 4.3.5 and 4.2.10 are in the tutorial, if you’re not a developer, it’ll be on you to scrounge up the latest beta. Best of luck with the foray.
