Michael Jackson Dies

Michael Jackson, the 'King of Pop,' dies at age 50


LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

The circumstances of Jackson's death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to the hospital, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

Samsung secret phone reveal - Samsung Jet. Actually I am slightly disappointed as the reveal phone has been leak out one week before. They is no wow effect on it and the specification is not stunning beside their coolest speedy interface due to it power 800Mhz processor.

But I do like their new Media Gate 3D interface and Motion UI, better Music Player when on landscape mode, 3 pages menu (like iPhone), new Internet Browser, stunning 800 x 480 resolution AMOLED screen and powerfull 800Mhz Processor.

The rest is not impress me, why only 5.0 Mega Pixel, the interface too like ultra touch beside added in those effect and more speedy. Anyway this is a good step from Samsung, waiting on it more high end model base on this stunning processor engine and please more fine tune the interface by made it more appearance than now. I believe that 800Mhz processor can do much more than whatever it do now.

Official Site: http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3g-s/

Apple don’t know how mobile phone market running! You can be 1st and 2nd time similar product. Come on this is 3rd time and it still look similar. (Actually I already knew they not going to change much, as most already leak before they announcing, failure!)

People easy get bored. Apple is not improving! They just add in what a normal mobile phone shall have that is missing previously. What a failure!

Apple sure get bad sales this time!

Even design also similar! Oh my God! (99.9% Same!)

What is new added in iPhone 3Gs:
  • 2x times faster (as it mention in paper…. Not sure the actual speed – Who knows they just only from previous downgrade speed back to actual)
  • 3Mega Pixel auto focus, macro, touch focus camera
  • Up to 32GB version
  • Video recording
  • MMS (Available via updates)
  • Voice control
  • Compass
  • Cut, Copy & Paste (Available via updates)
  • Landscape QWERTY virtual keyboard (Available via updates)
  • Spotlight search (Available via updates)
  • Enhanced Stock Apps (Available via updates)
  • Voice Memo (Available via updates)
  • Improved Calendar (Available via updates)
* Above is some sort like a software updates can do! Nothing special at all! If I own iPhone I am not going to change for this. A real failure!

* Some more Apple still provide free updates for old iPhone user! Means above most features will be available once you updates your firmware to version 3.0

That all! Same design with still only Black and White two color choice! No HD support! Same interface! 3MegaPixel is a bit too outdate camera without any Flash add on! At least made it 5MegaPixel. No AMOLED screen! Same Resolution! and what a crap!!! Still No Video Calling!!!

Updates:
Just finish watching the iPhone 3Gs guide tour from Apple. The new features like Compass, Voice Control, Video Recording, Spotlight Search ... all look cools!

But .... wait a moment, this ain't enough! All is software updates, and we already knew the current iPhone also can do it just depends on whether Apple going to do it or not. Or any third party can do that.

With such only software updates, it did not appealing people that own previous model to change again, people that don't have iPhone probably they still don't want.

iPhone 3Gs is the worst ever plan by Apple for releasing it.

What Apple needs to do:
  • Video call
  • Better MP camera, at least put on 5MP
  • New design (at least made more variety of color selection)
  • AMOLED screen
  • Highest Resolution (I believe even next iPhone also won't change as all their Apps Store product is fix to current resolution)
  • HD support
  • Bluetooth file sharing
  • Real photo during zooming, not using pre-create thumbnail when zooming, it is ready bad after zoom. This is a trick that why you browse photo ready fast but it is a kind of cheat because you are watching the thumbnail not the actual photo.

Specification

- 3.5G (HSDPA) network
- 2.2 inch 262k color TFT QVGA screen
- 100 x 47 x 14 mm size and 104g weight
- Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate in Media
- 3.2 Megapixel non-focus camera with QVGA@15fps video record
- 40MB internal memory with up to 8GB M2 card support
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
- Walkman Series

Sony Ericsson W595 is targeting on middle range Walkman series phone and It do serve what it means by. Below is my opinion after testing my sister W595 phone.

Design & Build Quality
- Compact and nice layout. The build quality is good except the back cover holder which is too fragile and might break if you open up the cover in wrong direction and wrong power impact where too soft it won't open and too hard they is a possibility to break the holder. Suggested less opening it if not needed.

Screen
- 2.2 inch is kinda small for now but it still serve right for you. The QVGA TFT screen is sharp and clear. Surprising me is it is well noticeable during bright sunlight.

Menu & Speed
- W595 was preloaded with few nice Flash base themes which look cool. The operations is same as current Sony Ericsson phone, it is user friendly and it won't be any problem even you never use any Sony Ericsson phone before. Speed is OK in overall, you won't find any lagging in any part but it is not extreme speedy.

Keypad & lightning
- Slightly hard to press in overall, you need little power impact when pressing the keypad or any front panel button. The lightning in the keypad and front panel button is somehow nice but not constant. The below button light is less bright compared with above button.

Speaker and Sound
- The speaker sound is loud and clear, the sound quality is stunning nor matter the sound is produce out from the speaker or the supplier earpieces.

Signal and Calling quality
- No doubt Sony Ericsson still build a very good calling quality and signal.

Camera
- It is targeting for music and the provided camera is ready bad even thought it is 3.2 Megapixel. They is no auto focus, fix focus or macro to play on it. The output photo is blur when you take closer object but it still ok on normal landscape shot with night mode on. The noise level high in overall and they is no way to take in low / no light condition as the phone didn't provide any flash light at all.

Conclusion
- If you need a good stylist budget slide phone which great in term of calling quality, performance and great music player but not bother of camera quality. This is a good choice selection phone for it.

The photo blur like a paint at far view and some color wash out in certain point, it seems over compress with bad lens attached. This ready not a good phone for taken photo. It is best suite as a Music phone only.
