Hop-on's '3G Our Phone' vs Apple's 3G iPhone


Hop unveiled its new series of phones today. The phones range from the Disposable HOP1800 phone at $10 to the HOP1809, a true 3G phone for under $125.

Peter Michaels, President of Hop-on, stated, "We are constantly striving to bring the best technology into the hands of the consumer at the lowest price possible. I think we have hit a homerun with our new line of phones, especially the HOP1809."

The HOP1809 compared to the iPhone(TM) is smaller in length and width. With true 3G technology, the HOP1809 offers users a wider range of services than ever before. This includes video calls, wireless data, and faster delivery speeds on both the down and uplink, all in a cool looking, lightweight aluminum sleek phone.

Michaels further stated, "Unlike the iPhone(TM), the camera view finder at the front of the HOP1809 (http://hop-on.com/hop18093g.html) has the capability of facilitating true video conference calls. I'm really excited with this new series."

The 1800 Series of Hop-on phones are in production and will be available everywhere by 3Q 2008. Hop-on will be making its US debut at the MLB All-star game at Yankee stadium in New York City July 14th weekend.

Mobiado Introduces 2 New Dual-Band 3G Mobile Phones

Mobiado continues the tradition of the hardwood Executive Model series with the Professional 105 EM (PRO105EM); and unveils its first gold phone, the Professional 105 GCB (PRO105GCB).
PROFESSIONAL 105 EM
The PRO105EM is the evolution in the hardwood Executive Model series, combining hardwood, aluminum, sapphire crystal, and 24-karat gold to truly create the ultimate in luxury. The Mobiado PRO105EM is available in two versions; Cocobolo and Ebony.

Cocobolo and Ebony hardwoods exemplify everything you would expect from new levels in luxury design. Every PRO105EM is as different and unique as every rare exotic tree is. No two phones are alike. Both hardwoods have been prized for centuries for their high durability, strength, high value, and rare beauty. Each pair of wood inserts is CNC machined from the same piece of solid wood to guarantee consistent grain structure on both sides of the phone.

The hardwood is then inlayed into an anodized aluminum frame. The buttons of the PRO105EM are sapphire crystal, hand painted with black paint, to produce a front surface made entirely of sapphire crystal. This material combination has produced a case not matched by anyone in quality or design.

PROFESSIONAL 105 GCB
Combining age-old techniques used with Swiss mechanical watches and the modern simplicity of large pieces of sapphire crystal; the PRO105GCB is a stunning masterpiece with classic details.
The frame is precision CNC machined from solid brass and is then finished with a 5 micron thick 24-karat gold plating. The screws are gold plated brass.
The buttons of the PRO105GCB are sapphire crystal, hand painted with 24-karat gold, to produce a front surface made entirely of sapphire crystal. The PRO105GCB is modern marvel with a classic flare. A new tradition has begun.

All the lettering and symbols on the PRO105EM and PRO105GCB are hand painted with 24-karet gold. Using a unique painting process, the gold keypad visibly disappears and becomes illuminated when the keypad lights up, creating a dramatic effect when used in low light conditions.

Using the construction of the Professional 105 ZAF lineup, the entire front and back of the PRO105EM and PRO105GCB have been crafted from large pieces of sapphire crystal, providing a modern minimalist look with a wear resistance second only to diamond. The PRO105EM and the PRO105GCB utilize a unique and hidden sliding battery cover mechanism (patent pending) with the battery cover being made entirely from one piece of sapphire crystal.

The PRO105EM and PRO105GCB are unlocked, quad-band GSM/EGSM and dual-band WCDMA network operational. They work within North America, Europe, Africa, Asia- Pacific, and South America where GSM/EGSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/2100 networks are available. They are equipped with a 2 megapixel camera and video camera, more than 1 GB internal memory, 2" display with up to 16 million colors, Bluetooth and micro USB connectivity, and a music player that supports AAC, eAAC+, and MP3 audio formats.

MOTO ROKR E8 Officially Unveiled



Motorola announced regional availability of the award-winning ROKR E8 which transforms from music player to phone with the touch of a button.

Using breakthrough ModeShift™ technology from Motorola, the device presents users with only the controls they need, at the time they need them, instantly transforming from music player to phone with the touch of a button.

“ROKR E8 does not compromise – it’s both an MP3 player that makes great phone calls and a mobile phone with tremendous audio capabilities. With Motorola’s unique ModeShift technology, we’re dispelling the myth that mobile phones with music features are inferior to stand-alone audio devices,” said Stephen Nolan, vice president and general manager, Mobile Devices Europe, Middle East & Africa.

“We are confident consumers will embrace this ground-breaking device and we look forward to transforming their mobile experience by taking them from talk to music in just one touch.”

This confidence is supported by industry acclaim for the ROKR E8 at the CES tradeshow in Las Vegas earlier this year, where it received the CNET Best of CES Award in the Cell Phones and Smartphones category and CNET’s People’s Voice Award.

When powered off, the surface of ROKR E8 is smooth, with no visible keys. Power on the device and it presents a virtual numbered keypad on the front surface. With one “press” of the virtual music key, the phone keypad disappears and control keys for the music player – play, pause, fast forward and rewind – appear in its place.

Yet, ROKR E8 is more than just a “touch”-operated device. Using innovative vibrating haptics technology, the device provides the tactile feedback consumers expect from a traditional keypad, providing confirmation they have pressed a virtual key.

ROKR E8 also marks the debut of the new FastScroll navigation wheel from Motorola, a variable-speed touch control that lets consumers easily scroll through all of the content stored on the device. With a gentle slide of the thumb, the wheel quickly scrolls through your music (music mode), contacts (phone mode), calendar (phone mode), or multimedia (imaging mode) content. Information is easily viewed on the landscape 2.0” QVGA display.

In music mode, ROKR E8 delivers great sound through a three-dimensional stereo feature that enhances two-channel audio and an on-board equaliser. Music can be enjoyed on the built-in speaker, with a compatible Bluetooth® enabled stereo headset1, or through a wired headset plugged into the 3.5mm jack.

ROKR E8 also helps consumers discover new music with a built-in FM radio and support for Song ID2. The 2GB internal memory can store up to 1,600 songs3, and the external memory is expandable up to 4GB with an optional microSD™ card. Music transfers quickly with USB 2.0. The device is compatible with Windows® Media Player® 11 on the PC, which also provides access to more than 200 online music stores.

In phone mode, ROKR E8 provides outstanding voice quality using Motorola CrystalTalk™ technology. The powerful device can receive calls while downloading or playing music, text messaging2, surfing the Web2 or taking pictures. Quality construction and materials help make ROKR E8 durable and reliable, and a high gloss front, aluminium soft touch back, spun metal side keys and engraved banding offer the modern style expected from Motorola.

Apple Introduces the New iPhone 3G


Apple introduced the new iPhone 3G, combining all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast* as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone SDK. In the US the new iPhone 3G is priced at a stunning $199 for the 8GB model, and just $299 for the 16GB model.** iPhone 3G will be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countries—Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US—on July 11.

“Just one year after launching the iPhone, we’re launching the new iPhone 3G that is twice as fast at half the price,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “ iPhone 3G supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync right out of the box, runs the incredible third party apps created with the iPhone SDK, and will be available in more than 70 countries around the world this year.”

iPhone 3G gives users ever faster access to the Internet and email over their cellular network with quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA for voice and data connectivity around the world. iPhone 3G supports Wi-Fi, 3G and EDGE networks and automatically switches between them to ensure the fastest possible download speeds. The new iPhone 3G also makes it easier to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications, so with iPhone 3G you can browse the web, get map directions, or check your email while you are on a call.

iPhone 3G includes the new iPhone 2.0 software with both the iPhone SDK and key enterprise features such as support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to provide over-the-air push email, contact and calendar syncing as well as remote wipe and Cisco IPsec VPN for encrypted access to corporate networks. The iPhone SDK allows developers to create amazing applications that leverage the iPhone’s groundbreaking Multi-Touch™ user interface, animation technology, accelerometer and GPS technology on the world’s most advanced mobile platform.

iPhone 3G includes the new App Store, providing iPhone users with native applications in a variety of categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.

Some applications are even free and the App Store notifies you when application updates are available. The App Store will be available in 62 countries at launch.

Additional features available with the iPhone 2.0 software include the ability to do real-time mapping and track your progress with GPS technology, mass move and delete multiple email messages, search for contacts, access a new scientific calculator, turn on parental control restrictions for specified content, save images directly from a web page or email them to your iPhone and easily transfer them back to your photo library on your Mac® or PC. iPhone 3G delivers an amazing 10 hours of talk time on 2G networks and 5 hours using 3G, with up to 5 to 6 hours of web browsing, up to 7 hours for video playback and up to 24 hours for audio playback.

With MobileMe email, messages are pushed instantly to iPhone, removing the need to manually check email and wait for downloads, and push keeps contacts and calendars continuously up-to-date so changes made on one device are automatically updated on other devices. With iPhone, you can even snap a photo and post it directly to a MobileMe Gallery to share with friends and family.

iPhone 3G will be available in the US on July 11 for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 8GB model and $299 (US) for the 16GB model in both Apple and AT&T’s retail stores and requires a new two year contract with AT&T for qualifying customers. iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes® 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers.

ClearPad Sensor for the SH906i Touchscreen Mobile Phone

Synaptics announced today that its ClearPad™ solution is driving the interactive touchscreen in NTT DOCOMO’s new SH906i clamshell handset.

Coming from Japan’s number-one phone manufacturer, Sharp, the SH906i is the first ClearPad-enabled touchscreen mobile phone in Japan’s mobile handset market. This new touchscreen flip phone using Synaptics’ intuitive ClearPad technology is available through Japan's premier mobile communications company, NTT DOCOMO.

The SH906i uses Synaptics' ClearPad technology to enable finger-input character recognition capabilities for Japanese character entry. The combination of the SH906i character recognition software and Synaptics ClearPad solution improves usability for regions with more complex alphabets. Capacitive sensing-enabled text entry allows the user to access and control any number of applications and menus on a handheld device in an efficient and intuitive manner — it is fast, easy to use, and accurate without a stylus. Synaptics’ ClearPad sensors recognize a variety of gesture input for an effortless user interface. OEMs can customize their device user interfaces using Synaptics’ growing gesture library, which includes gestures such as flick and pinch. The SH906i, for example, uses flick to flip though channels and adjust volume on its mobile-television application.

As the usage model for mobile phones expands into data services, the real estate and usability for touchscreens becomes more important. Managing greater content requires a more sophisticated and efficient user interface. Synaptics is taking a proactive stance to understand how these mobile trends affect the usage of a phone. Synaptics' ClearPad technology allows flexible and intuitive user interfaces to be offered to the end user.

John du Pre Gauntt, eMarketer senior analyst and author of the new report “Japan Wireless: Marketing to a Mobile Society” said “Flat-rate pricing for 3G services and broadening the scope of industries with a strong interest in mobile services means that mobile marketing and advertising has become all the more important in Japan.”

“Synaptics' long history in capacitive sensing technology is a valuable asset as we continue to innovate for enhanced usability,” said Yoshi Maeda, president of Synaptics Japan. “We are thrilled to work with leaders such as Sharp and NTT DOCOMO. Japan represents an important market for Synaptics – we are expanding our team in Tokyo to support this region and meet the needs of the burgeoning mobile market.”

The ClearPad solution is part of Synaptics' growing ClearTouch™product portfolio. ClearTouch products are designed for durability, low power consumption, and easy integration into mobile devices. Patented ClearPad technology builds on the capacitive touch sensing technology used in more than 400 million TouchPad™ devices. Synaptics has more than a decade of experience in clear, two-dimensional, capacitive touch sensing. All ClearTouch solutions can operate under glass or plastic, resulting in robust devices with slim form factors and sleek industrial designs.

New 3G WAN Rugged Enterprise Digital Assistant

The Enterprise Mobility business from Motorola announced the MC75, the latest addition to its portfolio of Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA), developed for mobile enterprises that require connectivity around the world. The MC75 EDA will help organizations increase worker productivity and efficiency, reduce operational costs and errors, and enhance customer service by delivering simultaneous voice, data, GPS navigation, and camera-based document capture.

"At U-Haul, we aim to deliver the convenience that our customers demand, at the low cost that they expect," said Sam Shoen, chief of staff, U-Haul International, Inc. "With the MC75, Motorola has brought a product to market that will continue to transform the way our organization serves the public and will positively affect almost every retail and logistical aspect of our operations. A technology investment at this level could not have been considered without Motorola's reputation standing behind it."

The MC75 combines high-speed access to voice and data with support for 3G networks based on the HSDPA and CDMA-EVDO (Rev A) standards for wireless communication. Equipped with 802.11a/b/g, a crisp color VGA display and a 2 megapixel digital auto-focus color camera, the new rugged EDA delivers the industry's first mobile computer compatible with multiple 3G WAN network standards that captures high quality pictures, documents and signatures, as well as 1D and 2D bar codes. This unprecedented combination of real-time local and wide-area wireless communications coupled with advanced data capture capabilities enables businesses to improve workforce automation, reduce data errors, and enable productivity wherever work needs to get done.

"Building off the success of the MC70 EDA, Motorola's best-selling rugged mobile computer for field mobility solutions, the new MC75 EDA is a testament to our continued ability to anticipate the ever-changing needs of today's fast-growing global mobile workforce with features like GPS and 3G operability," said Bob Chen, vice president and general manager of Mobile Computing, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business." The MC75 provides ultimate performance in a size-optimized rugged form factor and illustrates Motorola's commitment to deliver the latest integrated technology to drive compelling solutions that enable enterprise customers to gain a competitive edge."

The MC75 will enable global organizations with mobile workforces to standardize operations on a single mobile device, which will reduce support requirements, cost and complexity associated with multiple devices on numerous networks. Uniquely designed and offering a product lifecycle that extends well beyond that of a traditional consumer smartphone or PDA, the MC75 offers wireless connectivity, functionality, and manageability through Motorola's Mobility Services Platform on a single handheld device. This reduction in capital and operational costs, combined with increased workforce productivity, will deliver maximum value to any organization's investment.

"Now that the standardization and widespread availability of 3G are nearing completion, enabling mobile workers to access or transmit critical information from field environments faster than ever before, organizations are leveraging mobile and wireless solutions as a key strategic investment and source of competitive differentiation," said VDC analyst David Krebs. "Products like Motorola's MC75 with its embedded 3G technologies represent one of the critical solutions needed to deliver rich mobile enterprise applications and functionality to field employees in a rugged form factor."

The MC75 is based on Intel's XScale PXA270 624 MHz processor and Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Mobile 6.0 operating system to provide increased interoperability with existing enterprise infrastructure, enhanced security features, a flexible development platform and improved mobile messaging.

To help customers maintain peak performance, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Services offers Service from the Start with Comprehensive Coverage for the MC75. From the first day of the hardware purchase, customers can be assured that no matter what is damaged -- from broken displays and keypads to any internal and external components -- the repair is covered. This enhanced level of coverage significantly reduces unforeseen repair expenses, while providing investment protection and service peace of mind.

The MC75 is expected to be available globally in the third quarter of 2008 through Motorola sales, as well as Motorola PartnerSelect members.

In addition to industry-leading hardware innovations and the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, all the new handsets feature a new touch interface that revolutionizes the way users interact with their Glofiish phones though gestures, finger-friendly icons and 3D animations.

The smart and emotional touch interface coupled with its sophisticated design appeal to users who are looking for the latest functionality and enjoy expressing their individuality.

Seamless Connectivity and Multimedia Entertainment

Despite its slim 11.6 mm body, the F480 also boasts all the multimedia functions you would expect from a premium Samsung mobile. This includes 240 MB of internal music memory, a memory card with up to 8GB storage, an integrated FM radio, a 5 megapixel camera featuring auto focus and a CMOS video lens.

In addition, the phone also offers high-end camera features which are better known on a digital SLR than a camera phone, such as automatic face detection technology and a sophisticated image stabiliser.

The ‘smile shot’ mode makes its first appearance ever on a mobile phone in the Samsung F480. This intelligent feature enables the camera to detect when the subject is smiling and automatically take a picture, so you can capture your happiest moments.

The F480’s high speed internet access (HSDPA) and USB 2.0 connectivity enables users to transfer and download data faster. Whether they are music or video files, customers can enjoy all the benefits of being online on-the-go.

The launch will be supported with a European advertising campaign. The F480 will be available from June in major European markets and soon across other GSM regions.

MOTO Z10 Offers Web Video Search Service

Motorola announced an array of applications from ecosystem partners available now on the MOTO Z10 mobile device, taking the mobile experience for consumers to a whole new level.

MOTO Z10 is a 3G device based on the Symbian OS and UIQ platform that offers a complete, pocket-sized, mobile film studio in a unique ergonomic kick slider design.

Leveraging the strength and momentum of Motorola’s developer ecosystem, the MOTO Z10 comes pre-loaded with a selection of software, content and applications which further enhance its capabilities -- from displaying full feature films to capturing, editing and sharing high-quality video clips.

In addition to the applications pre-loaded to the MOTO Z10 device, hundreds of applications and content titles have been developed and made available by the broader Symbian and UIQ development community for consumers to discover.

The MOTO Z8, another Motorola kick slider device offering a mobile multimedia experience, has also seen great success with over 1000 applications and content titles developed for it since launch last year -- with many of these applications also available for use on the MOTO Z10.

“Increasingly, consumers expect that their mobile device will do more than make a phone call or send a text message -- it must also support features and applications that complement their interests and lifestyle,” said Christy Wyatt, vice president, software platforms & ecosystem, Motorola. “By leveraging the rich multimedia foundation available in the Symbian platform and the extensive programs and services available though our MOTODEV Developer program, developers are able to enrich and extend Motorola products such as the MOTO Z8 and Z10 to create a unique, personalized mobile experience for our users.”
