Transparent Mobile
Window Phone - concept phone On one hand, clear conceptual phones already, so this is not just the first, but on the other, the so-called Window Phone has one impressive feature - its transparent housing varies depending on the weather! Thus, in the sunny days, the screen will be completely transparent, on a rainy day it will appear virtual drop, but it is covered with frost. It's translucent screen will look like as well as present a window into a variety of weather. Don't have any idea, how it will be practical, but at least, very original!

Motorola Droid 3 Android Smartphone on Verizon
The Motorola Droid 3 is one of the fastest Android handsets on the market. The 1 Ghz dual core processor allows it to handle the most taxing apps and games you can get your hands on. The design is in line with the previous Droid models, this one being the slimmest of them all. The handset measures 4.9 inches by 2.5 inches and just 0.5 inches thick. This is quite larger than the iPhone 4 and gives you that 4-inch qHD (960×540) display that is big, beautiful and vibrant for watching videos, typing emails and surfing the web. The full retail price is $460, or $199 on a 2 year plan with Verizon Wireless.
Design
This has to be one of my favorite Motorola handsets to date. The keyboard’s tactile feedback is superior to most others ive used. It’s a horizontal slider, just push down and the keyboard slides out on the bottom. The spacing of the keys are offset in a way that you would be more used to, rather than being setup like those QWERTYs which for some odd reason have all the keys overtop of eachother unlike a traditional keyboard. On the Droid 3 you get a dedicated row of number keys, this was pleasing since one thing I can’t stand about touch screen devices is that the majority of them hide the numbers in a 2nd menu, and then ones with QWERTY keyboards orient them in such a way that you would need to use the ALT or FN key in an obscure location of letters. Not the Droid 3.
On the bottom you have a Micro-USB port and HDMI port, the volume rocker is situated on the opposite side, while the power button sits on top. I would have prefered the Micro-USB to be on top, so that it wouldn’t get in the way when it’s charging. You have dual cameras of adequate ability, although the VGA camera on the front is poor in low light, which front facing camera isnt. The rear 8 megapixel performs slightly better, but nothing to replace your P&S with. There’s also no dedicated camera key, which could have been added since there’s a heck of a lot of room on this thing to put more buttons.
Software
The Motorola Droid 3 is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Motorola’s Motoblur software over top. It’s a nice experience, smooth, easy to navigate and gets the job done. You have a dock which you can customize with four of your most used apps. I wouldn’t say its the best, but it’s definitely far from the worst. I think this is more of a personal experience so you should test all phones with that in mind, feel out the UI and decide what works for you best. What feels most natural. One thing to mention is that although with a hardware keyboard, Motorola didn’t cheap out on the software keyboard. It’s very nice and responsive, easy to quickly tap out something without sliding out the full QWERTY.
Hardware
World roaming allows you to take this with you anywhere. On Verizon however, it will function on the companies CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A network. Globally, it can jump on a GSM network of another carrier. To do this you will need to have the phone unlocked, which Verizon would do for you if you’ve been a customer for longer than 60 days. This will enable you to purchase a SIM card from an international carrier and utilize local carrier fees in that country rather than pay exorbitant roaming fees.
The phone has speakerphone, which is next to terrible in most situations. The majority of calls I tried to use speakerphone with I had to switch to regular mode as the callers could barely hear me. The complaint was typically “you’re voice is breaking up.” So driving in a car which you would expect a speakerphone to work with, doesn’t perform as well as expected.
All the typical bells and whistles are included, Stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G, no 4G LTE on this handset, Micro SD expansion memory slot with 16GB internal, micro HDMI (cable sold separately) and a 1,540mAh battery.
With a decent camera app, a strong 8-megapixel camera sensor with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p HD Video capabilities, you could theoretically get by with just this as your shooter. I myself wouldn’t, but some people could. Remember, it’s all about sensor size and quality. The video was good, a bit of grain, but in a nice way. Colours were over satured in still shots, in low light, well, what smartphone camera actually does perform well in low light really? You use the flash and you get those sparsely lit ugly pictures.
Box.net luring iCloud users with 50GB free storage
In the face of Apple’s enormous iCloud launch, I often wondered how cloud services like Dropbox, Cloudapp, and Box.net would be affected. Well maybe they’re a little concerned themselves, as Box.net is launching a preemptive strike against iCloud, offering 50GB of free storage for anyone who uses an iOS device.
The deal gives the 50 gigs to anyone who uses a Box Personal account on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The personal account is the free option, which would normally come with 5GB of web storage. There would usually be a 25MB single file limit, but those participating in this promotion will get that lifted to 100MB per file as well. Box also offers a $15/month Business plan (which allows 500GB storage and 2GB per-file limit) for those wanting a little more freedom.
To sign up, simply get the free Box.net app from the App Store, and either sign in or register. Your extra storage and single-file limit should be immediately added to your account. The deal is already active, and runs for the next 50 days.
The company also updated their app for iOS 5, so you will be able to use AirPlay to stream your account’s media files to an Apple TV.
Though they all are classified as cloud services, companies like Box.net and Dropbox are actually different beasts altogether from iCloud. What they all have in common is that they store your data on their servers, ready for you to access anytime. But that’s where the similarities end. Companies like Box.net offer direct file storage that is accessed via web or application.
Apple’s iCloud, on the other hand, aims to remain in the background at all times. Sure, you can use iCloud.com to see your contacts, emails, calendar, and word processing documents, but that’s not the primary way of using iCloud. It’s meant to integrate into iOS and OS X applications, as an invisible entity that simply makes everything available to you no matter what device you’re on. The Box.net’s way of directly accessing files is the polar opposite of what Apple is trying to do.
Unless you’re completely allergic to the direct use of files, iCloud doesn’t necessarily make services like Box and Dropbox redundant. If you want to see if Box.net is for you, then you might want to do it within the next 50 days, while this promotion lasts.
