Will HTC leave behind Nokia, LG, RIM Apple with ranking at 4th?

Now in growing technology and new tech more competitors are there in the market. So, that I will talk about new company in technology in gadgets, mobile and smart phone developers. You know that Apple is making fantastic phone and smart phone like I-phone. And now Apple I-pad.

So, at talking about gadgets HTC is new in this field that you know. And I am saying that it will leave behind Nokia, apple and other leading company of gadgets. Yes, that’s right. This time of  generation is time to compete or die! Don’t worry it’s new motto by HTC as we can say! 

HTC is planning to ship an estimated 7 to 8 million smart phones in Q3 of 2010 and 9 to 10 million units in Q4, according to a DigiTimes report, and its second-half 2010 smart phone shipment volume will rank fourth behind Nokia (NYSE:NOK), Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The company is planning to to launch new androids and windows 7 based models. In other case Apple’s shipment volume will decrease because of consumer purchases of the iPhone 4 peaked in Q3. 

SmarTrend is bullish on shares of Apple and HTC customers were alerted to buy on September 08, 2010 at  $261.75. The stock has risen 9.6% since the alert was issued.

HTC is accepting shipping of 7-8 million devices in Q3 followed by 8-10 million in Q4. And one thing these devices include Android and Windows Mobile, HTC is clearly setting their sights on being the top handset manufacturer in the world.

HTC has their hands full as they are gearing up to launch devices like the G2, MyTouch HD, Desire HD and Desire Z. They are going to be spitting out Windows 7-based devices as well. With this forecast, HTC will rank fourth among the top manufacturers like Nokia, RIM(Research In Motion) and Apple.

so, overall seeing the plan of HTC we can say that it's fstest growing company in gadget developement market.and it will top in next time.

Android Tablet PC: Samsung Galaxy Tab shows its advantages (in comparison to iPad) in a video on YouTube

Right now, Samsung is promoting Galaxy Tab, the expected tablet of the company which has been scheduled to hit the stores in Europe and United States in a few weeks. Also, it will roll out to more regions of the world before the end of the year (for example some countries of Latin America). The announcement of the launch of Galaxy Tab has received an excellent reception from the press and an unexpected interest from potential users.

Everything began with the Apple iPad, which was first announced in January 2010, receiving mixed reactions. There was positive opinions focused on three aspects: The product quality that Apple always offers, the Apps platform which had already a growing number of developers of iPhone and iPod Touch applications, and the effectiveness of Apple when the company introduces new products. On the other hand, with the negative opinions, the usefulness of the product was put in doubt; iPad attracted criticism due to the lack of support for Adobe Flash (that is a real problem if you want to browse some websites), and the lack of cameras which makes impossible the implementation of several functionalities (such as video call).

At this time, Samsung is getting ready  to launch the major competitor of the iPad, and this company has made a decision that apparently would be the right decision according to some analysts: Its Galaxy Tab is smaller than iPad and comes with a 7-inch screen (the iPad has a 9.7-inch screen); for that reason, the Samsung tablet would be carried in a more easy way and would be grasped with only one hand, which is something difficult with the Apple product.

The rest of the features include several missing features in the iPad: Adobe Flash to browse the web without restrictions, two cameras with video call functionality, and Android 2.2 as operating system, which is the OS that is growing faster than any other in the market today.

iPad used to paint ghostly midair messages

Ever spell out words in the air with your finger? Now you can do it with an iPad. The result is spooky 3D letters that seem to hover in midair. Casper would love it.

We've seen iPads used to create touch-screen art, but this goes a step beyond. The folks at communications agency Dentsu London and design consultancy Berg teamed up to produce an series of otherworldly animations seen in the vid below. Dentsu says it's part of its Making Future Magic project.

The photographic technique is a kind of stop-frame animation. Hand-held iPads are imaged moving through space with long exposure times, creating a ghostly message in the air.

3D models of letters and objects are first rendered in cross sections in a kind of "virtual CAT scan," as Berg's Jack Schulze explains in the video. Then they're played back as movies on the iPad screen while it moves through the air.

These are imaged in low-light environments as long-exposure photos of 3 to 6 seconds, and each pic is one of many frames in the animation sequence.

The team created luminescent words that seem to hover, as well as walking robots and other 3D shapes (but no ghosts). In one sequence, the word "making" seems to jump off a table and climb a staircase. In another, "future" floats over a puddle. "Magic," meanwhile, dances and skips impishly in a shadowy garden.

 The iPad handlers appear as faint shadows in the background. Some objects seem to be suspended in a sort of aerogel. Berg's post explains: "This is produced by the black areas of the iPad screen which aren't entirely dark, and affected by the balance between exposure, the speed of the movies and screen angle."

Check out more pics from the project here; there's even a book on it here.

I'd love to see a special animation for Halloween.

Why Yahoo plays well in Peoria ??

Yahoo's Blake Irving continues to insist that Yahoo is a technology company as if there were something bad about being seen otherwise.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--In the men's room outside the media briefing room here at Yahoo's headquarters, there's a dual sink with mismatched faucets: one modern hands-free sensor-activated model and a more traditional hand-operated one. It's a fitting metaphor for a company that, even when it moves in new directions, never quite manages to let go of the old.

Yahoo is a massive media company, the biggest and arguably most successful content provider among media companies to have made a name exclusively on the Internet. It also has a rich history of technology innovation, developing one of the most-popular search engines during the rise of the Internet and delivering e-mail and instant messages to hundreds of millions of people around the world.

And yet it's one of the most insecure organizations in Silicon Valley, scarred by the chaos and blunders of the Terry Semel/Jerry Yang era. Yahoo practically begged the tech media yesterday to see it as a source of technology innovation (while blaming "misperceptions" of the company on, of course, the media) during a "vision" briefing that many in the room seemed to have heard three or four times in the past.

Granted, new Chief Product Officer Blake Irving wasn't around during those years, and could therefore declare with a straight face during the event that "this is an amazing technology company in the media business," which is perhaps the most succinct answer a company executive has delivered to an existential question about Yahoo in years.

But the fact that Irving and other Yahoo executives feel they have to repeat over and over again that Yahoo is a technology company just shows how desperate a large part of Yahoo is to be seen as part of the "new" technology industry, the one that brings you things like iPads and phone calls from within your e-mail and real-time communication.

Yahoo has brilliant engineers. It has talented business people. It has some excellent products. But it is in no way, shape, or form setting the agenda for the technology industry in the 21st century. And as every Yahoo employee with stock options knows, investors feel much the same way.

If Yahoo is a technology company, it is Middle America's technology company. Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz often scoffs at the disdain for her company among the self-professed technology elite on both coasts of the U.S., saying that when she travels to other parts of the country and around the world, people know and love Yahoo and don't hesitate to tell her how much they enjoy using the company's products.

Those people, as nice and smart as they may be, are not the ones who set the technology agenda. A former executive once sighed when I asked him how Yahoo deals with that kind of inertia: it's not that Yahoo is unimaginative when it comes to technology innovation, but much of its product development is hamstrung by the need to make sure its huge audience feels comfortable on its pages.

This is absolutely not a bad thing in the abstract. Huge, stable audiences attract money, and many on the Internet would kill for Yahoo's advertiser-friendly user base. But companies that want to be considered true technology innovators cannot fear change. They must embrace it.

Apple doesn't worry what its users think if it realizes it needs to eliminate a widely used monitor port technology to make a sexier and more capable laptop, it just does it. Google doesn't worry what its users will think when it introduces something like instant search, it just gives them an easy way to turn it off. When you have the confidence to take those kinds of risks, you can make those kinds of breakthroughs.

Yahoo's tech product-development line certainly isn't stale: Greg Sterling of Search Engine Land, for one, thought quite highly of Yahoo's new Mail and search interfaces demonstrated following Irving's presentation. But should any of those advances prove popular with the public, they'll highlight one of Yahoo's core problem competing as a technology company: competitors can duplicate those advances rather quickly unless they are truly a cut above what anyone else is doing.

True technology companies don't have to tell the world they are technology companies. Anyone doing business on the Internet at Yahoo's scale is by definition a technology company no matter what they really do: the complexity of serving personalized content and ads, and ensuring reliable service for nearly 300 million e-mail users is no small feat of technology. But you don't hear Amazon insisting people call it a technology company even though it has an amazing array of technology; it's content with being known as the best and biggest online store.

Yahoo is cursed by its history and its geography. If Yahoo was based in Los Angeles or New York, it might be seen perhaps as the most tech-savvy media company in the business. Likewise, Amazon, based in Seattle, may fly under the Valley gossip radar but is quite secure in its own technulinity, a word I totally just made up.

However, Yahoo resides in Silicon Valley, a place where tech trends go out of date at an astonishing rate, 35-year-old people are too old to understand the way things are today, and media companies are seen as the ones standing in the way of true innovation that might disrupt their established business interests.

There's a sizable portion of the tech elite throughout the entire country who simply moved on once it became clear several years ago Yahoo was failing to keep up with the rate of change in search, e-mail, and social media. If Yahoo really wants to consider itself a true technology innovator, it needs to make the kinds of tech breakthroughs that make it a must-have among the trendsetters without upsetting its user base.

That may be too hard. Which makes it puzzling to understand why, time after time, Yahoo sets itself up for comparisons against the true technology agenda-setters of the world, a comparison in which it does not come out favorably.

Would it really be so bad to build a new legacy as the most innovative news, entertainment, sports, and lifestyle content company on the Internet, one that in addition happens to offer reliable and compelling Web services? Yahoo is in a very interesting position as overall media consumption shifts from offline to online; why does it continue to fight the battles of 2004?

Irving declared himself a golfer during Thursday's presentation. If so, maybe it's time to concede the tech industry's gimme putt and move on to the next hole. Otherwise, that next drive better go 350 yards down the middle of the fairway.
