Hands-free Texting Technology

Since you do everything that the handsfree function these days, it is only logical that you have to consider the possibility of sending SMS and handsfree mode. There are a number of reasons why someone would prefer to use a text message instead of a call classic, but that does not necessarily mean that you place your fingers on the keyboard!
The dangers of text messaging while driving
If you drive your car, is the last thing you want to be distracted. Your attention will be focused only on the road, make sure that you obey all signs and possible accidents. Distractions of cell phones, adjusting the radio and other similar technologies represent many skirmishes, what we see on the streets today. This is the main reason why the cell phone law in California and similar were adopted. You need to keep your hands on the wheel.

When you think about driving safety and cell phones, most people get a driver fitting with a phone to the ear jabbering away from this thing or that thing, imagine no attention to the risks of the road. Worse than talking while driving but SMS while driving. We have invested in a number of different devices for hands-free, but very few people have considered the possibility of a solution handsfree text messages. They exist, they just do not happen to be as common as a standard Bluetooth headset.
Handsfree Texting Technology
You probably Reports say that one can kill SMS. Not only driver not stay focused on the driving task, they may have one or two hands on their phones. Sending text messages instead of directing their vehicles This can lead to a time dangerous if the vehicle is moving, and if it is off. You may think you have enough time to send a red light because you are well versed in the art of the text message abbreviations, but a speakerphone SMS solution may be a better choice if you need SMS.
Yap
Yap is a mobile application that can effectively translate your voice to text, making it a great way to dictate your messages without placing a finger on your telephone keypad. Although it may not be as accurate as a secretary to dictate your letter to a business partner, Yap is an application for the fully automated cell phones that can be very effective.

Yap is more so that the reverse process can also occur designed. Besides working as a hands-free solution for outgoing SMS, it can also convert text-to-speech to read incoming messages aloud to you in a robotic voice. Yap is widely regarded as a solution for text messaging market, but it can be also adapted. With instant messaging programs, mobile blogging, Facebook updates, and so to continue working It is also sponsored as a free download because it generates income through contextual advertising.
Microsoft Sync
Since the majority of your hands free SMS will be in the car, it only makes sense that we see a solution from Microsoft Sync system. Available on a variety of Ford, Microsoft Sync is designed to be an all-inclusive in-car entertainment be. It manages the various sources of music that is you feed him, he will route your incoming calls to cell car speakers, and it can also be a function of speech-to-text for text messages.One speakerphone most popular mobile phones handsfree Bluetooth Speakerphone for the car, but most people see these systems as a way on the phone without talking owned their phones. With the advancement of speech to text and text-to-speech technologies, they will be able to text messages and e-mails in a hands-free mode.
Mobivox
Another way to get your hands free SMS solution Mobivox. Mobivox the "Send Message" mobile service works just like how you will be using. Just like the two systems mentioned above, it is capable of the words you speak into text, which can then transcribe sent as an SMS message. This transformation also works for sending e-mails as well.The difference here is that the service is not free Mobivox, but it does not require the installation of special software. Instead, you pay about 49 cents for each outgoing message. That may not be much money, but it can add quite quickly. Use with discretion. It should also be noted that Mobivox based in Montreal, this service on an international level and all you have to do is call the access number to use their service to offer.

iPhone Screen Protectors

Since an iPhone is a serious investment, the last thing you want to file a negligence or scratches on your screen completely ruined. This is where iPhone screen protectors come in. Usually made of a thin plastic sheet to ensure screening of the glass on your iPhone does not end up damaged. Protectors will cost a lot of money if you are willing to pay for top-of-the-line models are available, but before you pay, make sure you get the most out of your life protective device screen. Certain types of products work better than others, and how you apply the protective film may shorten the life of your investment.

Protective film .
If you want the least amount of interference between the screen and your experience, a protective film is probably the best choice. Protective films are made of ultra-thin layer of plastic cling, to apply strictly need work done. Unfortunately, fingerprints, dust and other debris on the bottom of the plastic means that you have less use of your screen protector. Using a sealed enclosure can also cause problems they can to peel the corners and edges of the plastic over time. Protector perfectly installed should take about a year, provided it is not damaged by scratching. Once you peel the protector, it should be discarded because it is not exchanged and again.

Plastic Protector
One of the newest forms of protection is made of a plastic material, beyond the perimeter of the phone is answered. If you're nervous about installing this type is easier to use than the protective film, because you can remove and replace the cover as many times as you want until you have a perfect fit. The protector is matte, which helps to reduce glare in the sun. Because these plastic guards are thicker, some users complain that they interfere with their iPhone experience, "float" on the same screen, rather than simply placed on top of the iPhone. However, if you do not mind taking the feeling that they last much longer than clinging blankets. You can even remove, wash with a mild detergent and water, you can go and replace it, that is, you always have a new, transparent protective film for years to come.

The choice of a type 
If you are looking for longevity research alone, certainly a protective hard plastic, as it certainly survive a protective cling. Protective tape is better if you install a professional do it for you, perhaps, or peeling corners and bubbles that might risk their lives shortened. Remember, you spent a lot of money on your phone - you really want to negotiate to purchase a reliable screen protector?

Samsung Galaxy Note II Review

It is difficult to play the lightning-fast Samsung Galaxy Note 2, as long as you dont mind huge things in big packages. If you are a phablet the best one out there - not even look at anything else.

Note 2 is very thin with only 9-mm, but the height and width of a twin-turn. In a little less than 6 inches high, it looks like a super-size version of Galaxy S3, and you'll keep it a little silly to your ear look. But the large size reflects the tremendous power.

Note 2 is a powerhouse communication & entertainment center as powerful. It has a Super AMOLED 5.5 inches - one of the most vibrant and colorful as we have seen. It is absolutely gigantic, if you are fond to watch videos & movies - so detailed and sharp, you forgot transport to a cellphone. But it also means that if you want something to fit in your pocket, this is not the best device.
A 720-by-1, 280 resolution and a true 16:9 aspect ratio, Note 2 a few pixels less than the original note, the clocks in at 800-by-1, 280 But you will not see the 80 missing pixels, the images crisp and clear images from every angle, making it ideal for use on a crowded subway, a hand or flat swings on a counter.

Led the original note "S Pen" stylus Samsung software combination that allows you to write and draw with pressure sensitivity. Samsung is presented as more accurate than other input methods, but the results were mixed. Now, an updated S Pen for Note 2, it is easier to write with a variety of sizes of the pen. Moreover, you do not really need to be touched with the stylus on the screen - "Air View" you can by going to the pen on the screen. This means that you do some cool stuff, how hard things happen on the screen - a screen capture motion - ideal if you want to show a demonstration without the view. You can also take notes on photos and pictures, making it a fully digital notebook.

The 8-megapixel camera takes clear, vivid images and documents 1080p High Definition video - on par with the original note. You can focus with the touch of the screen, and illuminate dark environments with LED flash powerful jumps. All Galaxy S3 filters are also included pictures of Best, the. Of images in rapid succession, and brings out the best, face detection and panorama If you are into photography, you can enjoy the ISO and exposure settings. But a slow shutter speed means that you do not miss the photo shoot unexpectedly. There is a second 1.9-megapixel lens for video chat. It is functional and not particularly noteworthy.

Note 2 is also one of the first devices to run on Android 4.1, nicknamed "Jelly Bean". Fort butter Project Google, Android is also smoother and easier to navigate than ever before. It is also the best version yet, but feel the operating system Google continues as the reorganization is not as true innovative interface, with generic-ite. Android 4.1 is not a platform for evil. The new notification area is a great improvement, and the voice is much better. And now Google, "cards" recorded flight data, weather, events and even sports scores for a convenient interface. Simple improvements add up to a big change, but Jelly Bean and do not have this feature of the game that changes behind competitors iOS is set - and even Windows 8 - on innovation.

Anyway burn Note 2 comes with a 1.6 GHz quad-core chip - one of the fastest on the market - and 2-gigabytes of RAM, a smooth application, no matter how many in the ground. With such a large screen, it will eat power faster. Fortunately, Samsung has included a whopping 3100 mAh lot of juice, enough to last you for two days of meaningful use. If you are heavy on applications and multimedia, you can expect a little more than a day. Motorola Maxx HD is short, it can not be better than that.

Note 2 is a unique product, even if it is a full-featured phone, the most attractive qualities are rooted in their ability to form tablets. This is a great device for media consumption on the street and a web browser are equally proficient. The digital pen can Notes pleasure if S Pen is not the easiest to use. So if you're a doodler or a laptop, it's a fun gadget. But if you want a phone everyday, 2 Note may be difficult, and a month later you might regret the waist. So keep it slips into your pocket, try it - make sure you see it in the first person.

HTC Desire C review

Construction and high style is a trademark HTC and HTC Desire C is no different. While HTC Several - including HTC One X One and HTC HTC SV One - Android enthusiastic fans there is a huge market for the first time Android users who are upgrading a smartphone for the first time, and they require a good looking smartphone and a decent user Experience.

Samsung has tried and failed miserably with the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, and everything in the Sony Xperia U, stray fingers tapping new consumer Android. The HTC Desire has a C major challenge

There is much to say about the attention to detail and great design. The HTC Desire is both C and works with beginners in mind, Android.
Instead of throwing the kitchen sink at the Technical dinky smartphone and hope that the faithful Android note the inclusion of the bells and whistles you, HTC has a measured approach and is one of the few manufacturers to manage Android 4.0 on the standard size smartphone.
HTC Desire C Build
You will immediately notice the lack of a flash on the beautiful white (or black) unibody design, but the weight of 100g feels just right in your hand. Have the solid construction and subtle curves are the hallmarks of the style HTC. They are not just your average stature and HTC HTC Desire is C rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 look like cheap toys in comparison.

The volume rocker is back in the right side of the phone is while the microSD card slot behind the front of the phone, next to the battery surprisingly bright red internal color matching. Again, it's the attention to detail that really feels the HTC Desire smartphone like a C function.
HTC Desire C Features
The real difference is in front of competitors on the screen - it is 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 320 x 480, but is lighter and has better viewing angles than smartphones with a similar specification. Android 4.0 works well with a 600Mhz processor and average HTC Sense interface 4 works perfectly.

NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 features are nice additions, but largely unnoticed for many users. The 5-megapixel camera is a sale even clearer for the consumer and HTC has made sure that this is a good thing. The lack of Flash is a problem, but it is very fast and uses a variety of shooting modes that mimic the functions of HTC Instagram, such as sepia, solarize and negative.

Beats Audio technology is not very useful without beats (bog standard headphones before Apple HTC style in the box), but the 4GB memory and MicroSD card slot make the HTC Desire C is another great music phone HTC - it handles virtually any music (and movie) file formats. Like all HTC phones, you also get a 2 year subscription to 25GB DropBox free.
HTC Desire C  Screen
The 320 x 480 pixel resolution is not the highest around, but the 3.5-inch screen is bright, clear and usable at all angles. The response time is excellent and works near the edge of the body and is not deep, as some smartphones low price embedded.

The screen will pick up a lot of fingerprints, in part because of low housing - enter the phone number means that your fingers on the screen resting instead on the sides.
HTC Desire C: Performance
The use of a relatively low power 600 MHz processor to power Android 4.0 and HTC Sense 4 works surprisingly well. Flicking between apps and menus quickly and the only sign of a slowdown that we saw were complex web pages and a large PDF.

Use AnTuTu application performance benchmarks, the HTC Desire C recorded the 1992nd In comparison, the HTC have seen £ 230 AV Management 2458, but we smartphones with a bigger score for the fight HTC Desire C to fly faster through menus and applications.

4 HTC Sense makes everything different daily use and the camera is fast and fun, what. Many users who want C HTC Wildfire Call quality was good and the internal speaker offered his fair when placed face down.
HTC Desire C Battery
You can wait for a day and a half with the 1230 mAh removable battery that the HTC Desire C in the high-end cards means battery life against the smaller smartphones - the exception is the impressive Motorola Defy Mini.

HTC Desire C Verdict
The biggest rival HTC Desire C faces is ironically the HTC AV, which costs a little more, but stimulates the screen size, processor, and for about £ 50 extra. If a decent performance palm size is the key phone, the HTC Desire C is an excellent choice with quality construction skills and Android 4.0 on the field.

There is no doubt that the HTC Desire C value for money, but it is the prospect of larger screen, which ultimately deter you could purchase from. Take a look at the review HTC One V and see what suits you best ...
