Zune HD Review


Zune HD , an apparent competition for Apple iPhone from Microsoft.A sturdy, royal looking phone with touch. The phone is absolutely slim. The rear body is made of standard aluminum and the front body is made of up touchy plastic. The most notable feature of this mobile is, the 3.5 inch OLED screen. The screen is pretty much big and gives a good space for videos. The videos are really crispy,no lag and the videos does not pixelate.Usually OLED display screens are mediocre and the performance is not much appreciated. But this phone is really a feast to eyes.

The mobile runs a high end hardware which includes nVidia Tegra solution.Therefore it is not going to be the usual Windows mobile which takes huge time to start, sometimes. Audio clarity is very decent and the headphones are really funky and the head pieces are bit large to be plugged as such.There are mainly three buttons.

  • Power button
  • Central control button
  • Button3

Power button is situated in the top and the central control button acts as central phone control. The third button , i just call it Button3 as i cannot find a suitable name for it. The ultimate use of the button is, while playing music or video, pressing the button invokes a menu giving options to change volume and change track. Unfortunately there is no music keys on the sides as Nokia XpressMusic series.And in one way, the button can be called as a drawback.

The touch activity is changed a bit, includes swiping(scrolling horizontally). The interface would be confusing at the first and you need some time to get used with it. Once you are with it, then it will be a real fun using the mobile. The interface is an exception to all normal touch screen.

Sadly , the phone is not available in India. Lets wait for this attractive mobile.

2012 End of the world?

This is a hottest question around the world and am no exception for that.Still there is no clear evidence about what is going to happen.Theoretically , the Mayan calendar ends.After that a new Era emerges, which will be similar to restarting the world. Assuming this as just an assumption. The Assumption is based on the fact that scientists believe that, the planets and other bodies in space, might undergo physical changes (Spiritual in case of Astrologers) which might cause a natural calamity. The Universal fact says " EARTH WILL BE ALIVE AS LONG AS THE SUN IS ". So it is clear that, world will not end, but we will face an end. The actual meaning of the phrase " WORLD ENDS " is , the huge mass called EARTH should explode and scatter into the space as small pieces losing its gravitational force. So there wont be any chance for living creatures to exist once again. But research and prediction say, EARTH will be restored after a huge disaster. Living creatures will n...

HTC Wildfire - Display ,Touch Sensor and Accelerometer

Just went through the online reviews before buying HTC Wildfire to see everyone cursing the display that "Its Pathetic". That is because of the resolution. The screen is large enough( 3.2" ) to show everything, but the resolution is just 320 x 240 pixels. But this is in no way a set back. Just optimize the home screens and other areas as you want ,to bring out the best out of it. I even felt that, the OSK (On Screen keyboard) occupies , half of the screen when text-ing (new word huh! i mean messaging), but now i got used with it and even in many other phones which have higher resolutions the OSK will definitely dominate. Touch Sensor The first thing i want to tell is there is no irritating double tap , that we see in mobiles like Nokia 5800 .The touch sensor is awesome and some times over sensitive. Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...
