Strike while the iron is hot.Recently, Microsoft announced a new patent licensing partnership with Compal, an original design manufacturer (ODM) of Android-powered smartphones and tablets. This new partnership means that Microsoft has licensing agreements with manufacturers that account for more than half of all Android devices produced.  Microsoft made an agreement with Compal, and  pressured other Android manufacturers as it requires the company to pay Microsoft a licensing fee for each Android tablet or smartphone that it produces. The exact amount of the license fee or terms of the agreement were not revealed but sources stated that more importantly, this agreement puts Microsoft's hands in the pockets of companies that are responsible for producing 53 percent of the Android devices in the U.S. A number of the agreements are with smaller companies like Compal, but Microsoft has signed licensing contracts with big players like HTC and Samsun...

The co-founder and CEO of company Dag Kittlaus that created the Siri voice control feature left the company after the release of iphone4s according to sources.There were several reasons behind him why he left the organization as of his family being in Chicago and another reason might be of taking some time off and think of some new interest and entrepreneurial ideas. Dag Kittlaus led the team for speech recognition for apple since they took on siri in 2010.Since he had been Siri’s CEO since 2007 also before that, the Norwegian-born Kittlaus was an Entrepreneur in Residence at the Stanford Research Institute and had also worked at Motorola. Siri is an alternative to search that converses with the user, processing requests, answering questions and learning from each interaction like a cross between semantic search and artificial intelligence. CEO Dag Kittlaus demonstrates the app to Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher K...

Andy Rubin,The head of Google’s Android mobile OS, in his recent interview stated that “You shouldn’t be communicating with the phone; you should be communicating with somebody on the other side of the phone.”He strictly disagrees as the phone cannot be your personal assistant. His ideas stated that talking to a smartphone is arguably the most natural way of communicating with it. It’s like the future of mobile communications is finally catching up with what Star Trek was doing decades ago. Why shouldn’t you be able to just ask the device for information, or tell it to perform tasks and functions rather than pinching, tapping, and swiping to accomplish the same thing Even Google Android does the same actually even Google seemed to think it was a fabulous idea when it was hyping the Voice Actions feature in Android,may be Rubin’s point is a matter of perspective maybe Rubin feels that voice commands are good, but ‘conversing’ with an artificial intelligence is...

But thanks to a new build of the software (1.3.1.1891 vs.1.3.0.1771), the problem with iOS 5 has been remedied and Google has put the app back on iTunes.

In previous years there were so many  apps that were similar to iphone features as of Apple put it in the iPhone, But Siri has  become a successfully the reason behind this for surpassing the competition because of added features that don't exist in competitors like Google Voice Actions, Vlingo, Iris, and Speaktoit, and because of the incredible accuracy of Nuance's voice recognition. If you can find a quiet enough spot to use it, Siri has a wide variety of actions that can be pretty useful.  However, not everyone thinks that's the way it should be. Andy Rubin, senior vice president of mobile at Google, obviously doesn't have much reason to speak positively about features of the competition, but he has said that he doesn't think your phone should be a personal assistant. Andy said at AllThingsD, "Your phone is a tool for communicating. You shouldn't be communicating with the phone; you should be communicating with somebody on the other...

Also the iPhone 4's slick but solid build with one home button looks cool as compare too  the RAZR  that has instead gone for super-slim with a bump up top with four capacitive Android buttons below the screen.Now it depends on the owner what he decide whether he like a bit more room in his pocket or he is willing to sacrifice space for the iPhone's minimalist looks.

Hackers could use your mobile to find out what you are typing on a near by computer at your workplace.A Team at Georgia Institute of Technology in US has claimed that in a cell phone could be turned into a Spy phone it can decipher vibrations to record what is being typed on a nearby computer keyboard.The researchers have in fact ,discovered how to do it using smartphones accelerometer-the internal device that detects when and how the phone is titled. They have found it can be harnessed to sense keyboard vibrations and decipher complete sentence with upto 80% accuracy "They first tried experiment with iPhone,3GS and the results were difficult to read.But when they tried with iphone4,which has an added gyroscope to clean up the accelerometer noise,and the results were much better.

There's a continous tug of war between Motorola RAZR and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is better phone of two.But everyone knows the real difference is of the screen, the camera, an a slight difference in weight, the availability of an SD card slot, and of course in the Android version loaded.The first bunch of points will just have to be personal preference, but the last one is something that will be changing, and sooner than you might have expected.   The Motorola senior vice president of portfolio and product management, Alain Mutricy has said that although the RAZR was designed for Gingerbread, it will get the Ice Cream Sandwich update at the "start of 2012". This is an extremely fast update given that the first ICS phone, the Galaxy Nexus, won't be on the market until next month. Many sources stated that the update which might take place so quickly could be due to the increasingly close relationship between Google and Motorola. But, of c...

It was when the the Samsung Galaxy Nexus seemed set to steal the Android show, Motorola had to go and announce the Droid RAZR. Eventhough the Motorola Droid RAZR doesn’t come with a fresh new install of Ice Sandwich — the soon-to-be-unveiled update to Google’s mobile OS — but with a spec sheet including a 1GHz processor, 4G LTE connectivity, and a battery life of 12 hours (though not removable), there isn’t much to complain about with the new handset. The fact is that it comes only 7.1mm thick? I can’t emphasize how ridiculously thin this thing is. Even though the  bump out housing the camera sensor gets shaved down a few millimeters. But still managed to held 1GB of RAM, a steel core for durability, and amazing Super AMOLED qHD display. The stylings of this device are just plain beautiful. The tapering glass of the display, a subtly textured back made of woven kevlar, and sharp lines make the RAZR a real treat to behold. The handset is everythi...

The recent adopters of the iPhone 4S, which has sold more than 4 million units since debuting on Friday, have no doubt taken Siri for a spin.The voice-activated "personal assistant" is a talkative tool that helps schedule appointments, send and receive messages and perform any number of other routine tasks. This is kind of an Artificial Intelligence which the device was planned to do.All the iPhone owners presented with the sci-fi dream of a computer that talks back in a robotic female voice are more tempted to test the app's and feel something new and innovative about the phone.The Internet, always up for a chuckle, has noticed. Blog posts, tweets and even whole websites are popping up to share what happens when users start testing the boundaries of the app by peppering Siri with off-the-wall questions. As the Siri is gaining popularity it is somewhat showing its intelligence too as that of a female inside in reality when checked with s...

The Race to become the first to own latest iPhone 4S could prove costly as warranty will be invalid for the users.Apple fans in the UAE, hungry to be the first proud owners of the newly released iPhone 4S, are snapping up grey-market smartphones after the second-generation mobile device was officially launched last Friday in North America. Authorised models of the iPhone 4S won't likely arrive in the UAE until November to be sold by Apple-approved distributors with complete warranties. Faisal Al Bannai, chief executive officer of Axiom Telecom, an authorised distributor, told Gulf News on Sunday that it won't be distributing the phones for weeks to come. "Unfortunately, the iPhone 4S is still not officially available in the UAE," Al Bannai said. "We are looking at a UAE launch sometime in November." Late November will also likely see UAE telecoms du and etisalat launch new authorised iPhone 4S packages with reduced up-front payments for the n...

The iphone 4S was released a couple of days ago with a huge response from the consumers all over the world and with record 4 million sells in the 3 days of its launch, and who would want a brand new phone to go under the Acid test and damage the phone? But as we know the world is filled with such people with crazy ideas . Here’s one video which just made it to youtube showcasing iPhone 4S and its close competitor the Samsung Galaxy S II going under the drop down test.     In the video the person drops Each phone 3 times,first from waist height,second time around from shoulder height and 3rd time with face down(right on the display),after the fall iPhone 4S display was busted wide open with breaks on the display and the back panel of the phone,but Samsung Galaxy S II with a solid build survives any breaks with a mere scratch here and there and the display crystal clear,making it the rough and tough smartphone in the world till date. ...

Yes, the iPhone 4S has set all manner of sales records in its first days of availability. But if you haven't yet indulged, you have a critical price-performance decision to make. iPhone 4S is barely an upgrade to the 4, and now a 4 can be had for $99 vs. $199 for the base 16 GB 4S model. Apple's biggest iPhone upgrade hasn't been hardware though, but its recent mobile operating system overhaul. iOS 5 is a major step forward, especially the new Reminders app (essentially a fancy, and quite welcome, to-do list), a remarkably accurate text-to-speech dictation option for email and texting, Twitter integration – you can now simply upload a photo to your Twitter feed. And since iOS 5 comes with the 4 (or current 4S can be upgraded), and Apple's new iCloud storage and sharing service, 4 users lose nothing operationally by staying put. But iPhone 4S offers have one exclusive draw: Siri, a voice-controlled personal assistant that not only...

We're a little worried about iPhone gaming, and given the platform's rather large sphere of influence, mobile gaming along with it . Earlier this month Apple held a press conference and revealed the iPhone 4S, which packs an impressive dual-core Apple A5 processor - along with numerous other bells and whistles - within its modest shell. Epic Games president Mike Capps demonstrated exactly what the hardware upgrade meant for gamers by showing off Infinity Blade 2 running in real time on the device, and It looked stunning.   Capps pointed out the hardware allows Epic's designers to implement visual techniques that rival modern gaming consoles, with a few tricks that even current generation home consoles haven't even seen. Other reports have said the game features assets and physics taken from Sony's God of War 3 for the PlayStation 3.We don't sign up to cult of console purists that see iPhone gaming as some sort of inferior b...
