Nokia 900 Lumias build as fast as we can to meet demand
Apr 19th
For now we can not access the Nokia 900 Lumia in our market, and in its early days has been surrounded by some connectivity issues that have made Nokia had to compensate their customers (the error is already corrected).
The specific sales model have not been published, but we know that have sold over three million Lumias from birth, the 900 was the last to arrive and of course there will be the least affected in this figure.
In the U.S., AT & T operator has ruled on its behavior in the market, without giving details, but ensuring that output has been a very powerful and they are running out of stock in many stores. In contrast, European operators are not so happy with the behavior of Lumias phones.
Is it a sign that is selling well? or may not have made so many units to meet demand. It is especially difficult to get the cyan version of the device.
Today we learned from the mouth of AllThingsD, which Nokia believes that your phone is selling very fast:
“The inventory situation is a function of demand,” “we have not had to change units for the connectivity problem is solved via Zune” “We are producing more phones to meet demand as soon as possible” Karen Lachtanski
Is a good time to report a new manufacturing plant that Nokia is preparing in Vietnam, we have no details about it, but it is interesting that the Finnish company wants to produce phone and outsource production.
Smartphone market has reached critical mass
Apr 16th
The proliferation of smart phones in this country has reached a critical mass. More than a third of German, 34 percent actually has, to date such a device. In the under 30 year olds there is even one in two (51 percent).
One recent sample survey conducted on behalf of the IT industry association BITKOM. “Smartphones have rolled up in a few years the mobile phone market and become more and more remote control of our lives,” said EITO chairman René Schuster earnings.
According to the survey, the share of smartphone owners with increasing age, however, decreases rapidly. Thus, just over one in four (27 percent) between 50 and 64 years, such a mobile phone in the elderly aged 65 years, there are actually only 6 percent.
Last year in Germany are reportedly 11.8 million smartphones were sold. This represents an increase of 31 percent compared to last year. The sale of conventional cell phones went the other hand, by 19 percent to 15.6 million units. In the previous year were 4.1 billion euros in Germany implemented with smart phones, an increase of 13 percent.
In the current year, according to the BITKOM forecasts with a share of 55 percent for the first time sold more smartphones than any other mobile phones. “With some carriers, the proportion of currently up to 90 percent,” said Schuster. The share of sales of smartphones in 2012, is even at three-quarters, because the devices are much more expensive than regular handsets.
About 88 percent of Germans use a cell phone over 14 years of personal or professional. Late last year, this country had 98 million mobile phones in use. In any Germans of all ages to get over an average of 1.3 for active mobile phones. 29 million German have at least two devices in use, 7 million use mobile phones even three or more parallel.

Mar 22nd
One of the most interesting proposals submitted Spotify in recent months to maintain its position in the field of streaming music is its application platform , under which they emerged as interesting as Soundrop supplements.

Do you have a problem with his Apple iPad or new fame?
Mar 21st
Do you have a problem with your Apple iPhone again ? After its spectacular sales figures the first weekend, users and specialist websites have begun to analyze very closely (and more) of third-generation iPhone from Apple.
Consumerreports the data provided on the new iPad sobrecalentameinto have taken the award for most talked about topic in the last hours. According to their tests, the brand new Apple tablet is heated a few degrees warmer than the previous model, the iPad 2. That same finding have noticed that some users of tablet and forums filled with comments .
History reminds us too much known as antenagate.
So what heats up the new iPad?
Just as there are users who are commenting that the new iPhone overheats, we might think that the rest have not noticed differences. Why?
If everything follows the logical channels and no faults in some games, the greatest warming of the new Apple iPad would be motivated by the increased battery capacity and increased processing power. The idea is that Apple passed its loopinsight clarification .
the new iPhone operating correctly within our specific heat
In tests with infrared cameras has been detected, with very demanding games, the new iPhone is heated by 18% over the previous model especially in the processor, which is about five degrees more.
Personally I think a figure that falls within expectations for inclusion in virtually the same housing a battery much higher (70% no more and no less) and a more powerful processor in which the architecture has not changed to optimize heat emitted in operation. We also have to add games and applications will increasingly exploit the renewed power and display of the new iPad.
Would you have gone to another company?
If warming is confirmed that it is not due to defects in the processing of some units the new iPhone, but a more logical process for battery and better processor, Apple would have paid back the price of being the media technology company in the world.
If a weekend sell 3 million of a new product, specialized sites are busy gutting each component and are on everyone’s lips (with extreme love and hate Apple unleashes a small but very vocal consumers, whether or non-users of Apple products), you run the risk of something that surely with the other companies would have gone unnoticed, you become a headache remedy that ultimately have to “medicines”
Nor can we forget the “technological hypochondria” that usually occurs in these cases. You read that the new iPad heats up, and since then yours is already showing these symptoms without hesitation and even without the previous model for comparison.

Five applications for a taxi from your mobile
Mar 15th
The geolicalización on mobile phones opens up a new world of options and business models that are to be tapped. Today we will see five applications for a taxi from your mobile without having to make calls, so you do not need to know the phone from the taxi station in the city where we are or take to come the closest to our location.
The utility of these applications will depend largely on the introduction taking into our city. While in big cities like Madrid or Barcelona probably will not have any problem finding drivers who use these services, while in smaller cities will be less impact.
Mobile applications
myTAxi this application in Spain for now only works in Barcelona. With the application installed on your phone takes advantage of our location to the nearest taxi to move it to her. It is very convenient to use and is available for iPhone and Android. In addition to Barcelona myTaxi works in a lot of European cities, so that might be interesting for those frequent travelers.
wannataxi in this case is an Android application that lets you ask a taxi taking advantage of the location of your phone, pick us up at the usual locations we have stored in our application or pick us up in a map point that we indicate. It is still in beta and it works, as we indicated in Engadget Mobile in several cities in Spain, but its weakness is that it has a lot of taxi drivers associated service.
Gootaxi is perhaps the largest application development in our country. It works on different platforms, for both iPhone and Android and Windows Phone. Gootaxi . As in previous cases uses geolocation, but if this is not very accurate we can correct the location obtained in the map and place it correctly.
Popout
TaxiCaller in this case as well as give us a taxi taking advantage of the location, includes a directory to ask this time if, by calling the taxi rank in the city in which we found a taxi. TaxiCaller is interesting for those traveling frequently to different cities for the day to day in our city.
Taxi is an application that helps ta see us. Basically what Taxi is to create a poster drawing on the screen of your phone thereby helping to improve the visibility of the user who wants to hail a taxi at street level. The question is, will help us to find one when it is raining?

Jun 5th
A few days ago I commented that Sony was planning to extend its range of Free Product Samples like Walkman MP3 players, with a new series, the NWZ-250 which among other features are water resistant and have a minimum weight, which makes it perfect to relax this summer in the pool.
At the next launch for PSP in the next installment in one of the most iconic video game for Playstation that has been, the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Sony has prepared a special edition, the Sony Walkman W252, based on the theme of the game .
The design and characteristics are very similar to those of the NWZ-250, with 2 GB standard and water resistance, but this model is finished in camouflage and has stored six songs from the soundtrack of the game.
Furthermore, the purchase is attached a code with which to unlock new characters in the game. Sony has not only wanted the partnership is limited to the new MP3, but also allow for the game, we can collect all models of Sony Walkman has been in the history of the brand as stick a few shots.
It will be available from next June, although not yet known of his price. By contrast, the NWZ-250 series came out about 45 euros, so given that this will be a special edition, we may have to pay a little more.
