Finally BlackBerry With A Working Video Call Using BBM Video on Z10!

After years of ditching my Nokia 3G video call for BlackBerry Messenger now I am glad that BBZ10 comes with BBM Video Call. Does this mean it requires the Z10 to be connected to a wi-fi?  What is a Z10?

Well that is the latest BlackBerry model with many new features yet unfamiliar for the BB user.  BB Hub to take a peek inside the hub for all app notifications. 

Well there you go.  BB10 with 1080p HD video recording and 8MP.  If you bought one, please let me know if it is worth the price?

Agong Hits Mach Inside Sukhoi

Agong survived the Sukhoi.  He flew on the most advanced superjet in Malaysia.  It must be really exciting to get on one of those superjet.   Based on his smile and expressions I believed he really enjoyed being flown on the Sukohoi.  It was indeed a grace to be flown with the Agong inside.  Asghar, the pilot, must be excited and thrilled at the same time flying with the most important man in Malaysia and throttling the most expensive jets in Malaysia!!

Have a nice flight Sukhoi!!!

Sony Playstation or PSP Phone : What we Know so far?

 

While Sony has maintained its official stance towards the leaked PlayStation Phone by declining to either confirm or refute the claims that the PlayStation Phone does exist, by refusing to comment on “rumors and speculations,” a senior Sony executive has dropped some hints, and boy are they going to set your imagination racing towards some happy speculations? Barely a day after Sony announced a $50 price drop in the PSPGo, Engadget is reporting that a new, smartphone version of the PlayStation Portable is on its way.

According to the site, the device is already in the prototyping stage, and features some hefty hardware under its glossy frame. The PlayStation Phone will reportedly include a 1-GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and run the Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) OS. Based on the photos Engadget posted, the PlayStation Phone will have a sliding design, like the PSPGo, and use a long multitouch trackpad instead of the PSP’s analog disc. Curiously, while the supposed prototype has a Sony Ericsson logo, it doesn’t seem to have any PlayStation branding. Interestingly, while it will reportedly support microSD cards, Engadget said the PlayStation Phone won’t use Memory Sticks like previous PSP models.

However Engadget has been a very good reputation in the world of tech news, and the authenticity of the news as well as about the source – the source of all this are people who know about a near prjek technology in a particular company, so maybe just a picture of this Sony PlayStation Phone is totally real. Considering the original PlayStation Portable has only a 333MHz CPU and 32MB of memory, the PlayStation Phone’s specs would certainly quality as a “pretty powerful machine” by comparison. Of course, last May, CVG reported that the PSP2 would have a quad-core processor in the form of a scaled-down version of the PlayStation 3’s engine. Until Sony confirms these rumors, all we have is speculation.

Still from the news that we have quoted from the site Engadget, Engadget believes that this is one of the prototypes, and one of them there in the photos posted by Engadget in his story about this rumor. Its source also reported that the codename of this device is “Zeus,”.

In a recent interview on CNN, Sony’s senior vice president of marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment of America Peter Dille seems to have said a few things and proponents of such a device will be happy to learn that they are optimistic. Dille stated that the main reason behind PSP’s failure is the lack of an always on connection. He said, “The PSP is a Wi-Fi device. People are used to having always-connected devices.” Explaining Sony’s vision of the PlayStation Network to be an always accessible entertainment centerpiece, he added, “I don’t think we fully realize that vision with a Wi-Fi device. If it’s not connected then it does sort of limit people.”

The Android-based gaming phone is still a prototype according to the report, so it’s unlikely to arrive before the holidays; we’d bet on a Q1 or Q2 2011 release.

4G Signal in Malaysia!

Only Nine Telcos Get 4G Apparatus Assignments For Time Being, Says MCMC 

By Tengku Noor Shamsiah Tengku Abdullah

CYBERJAYA, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- The government has not assigned the 4G spectrum to any telecommunication company as yet but had merely given apparatus assignments (AA) to nine telcos to pave the way for the early adoption of the long-term evolution (LTE) or 4G technology mobile services, said Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Chairman Tan Sri Khalid Ramli.

 

Citing that there was a difference between AA and Spectrum Assignments (SA), he said MCMC only awarded the AA for them to use the 2600MHz spectrum band to roll out their 4G wireless broadband services and had not given them the Spectrum Assignment (SA).

"The decision to award to the nine telcos was made after a lengthy consultative and deliberation process with various technical groups which started about two years ago. It was not something which was done a month ago," he told Bernama.

Khalid said the nine telcos, which had been picked based on their experience, technological capability in promoting innovation and financial strength, had been asked to submit detailed business plans by year-end on what they planned to do.

An apparatus assignment confers rights on a company to use the spectrum to operate a network facility of a specified kind at a specified frequency or in any specified frequency band or bands.

4G, which refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless technology standards, is the successor to 3G and 2G families of standards. 4G technology can deliver 100 Mbps or megabits per second, which allows a music album to be downloaded as fast as five seconds or an hour-long TV show in about 30 seconds.

The companies that had been awarded the AA by MCMC include existing 3G and WiMAX players, and a new entrant. They are Celcom Axiata Berhad, Maxis Broadband Sdn Bhd, DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, U-Mobile Sdn Bhd, Asiaspace Sdn Bhd, Packet One Networks (M) Sdn Bhd, RedTone Marketing Sdn Bhd, YTL Communications Sdn Bhd and Puncak Semangat Sdn Bhd.

Khalid said MCMC may award the SA if it was satisfied with the business plan and service readiness of the telcos in installing their equipment and services.

These companies were also required to pay annual fees to MCMC in order to use the AA to roll out their 4G services and would not receive grants of any kind from MCMC or from the Universal Service Provision (USP) Fund, which was specifically for developing communications facilities in the rural areas, he explained.

"If they want a piece of action, they will actually have to pay for it," he said, adding that the government would consider giving the SA later on if they could prove their capability.

"We may decide on that later on. In the past, we did allocate the spectrum at a much higher fee. This stage hasn't come as yet (for 4G)," he said in likening MCMC as the regulator and custodian of the Malaysian spectrum.

Khalid also said the government may decide to take back the spectrum if some companies did not perform up to expectations.

Asked why MCMC had decided to award the AA to nine telcos instead of only few like the current market leaders in the country, for example, Khalid said this was based on the need for greater transparency and competition.

Under the provisions of the Communication and Multimedia Act, he said MCMC had to act for the long-term benefit of end-users while taking on a technology-neutral approach.

On why MCMC was initiating 4G technology now while some telcos had yet to provide the full range of 3G or WiMAX technology services, Khalid explained that the regulator was planning for the future.

At certain times in Kuala Lumpur, network congestion occurred due to sharp demand and MCMC had to start work on 4G now to avoid a breakdown in services later, he said.

"It is time to migrate to something better," he stressed.
