Microsoft Launches A Giant Campaign For The Windows Phone 7 Smartphone: A funny ad

As you know that Microsoft 

(Microsoft: Stock) 

is going to launch it's new windows phone 7! And at the part of it, You know how is important publicity of any thing ! Without publicity nothing is going to profit. But I think Microsoft don't need  do this.

The new phones will initially be available on AT&T, USA. Prototype devices have been shown previously and have a lot of similarities to the iPhone. So it won’t be easy for Microsoft 

(Microsoft: Stock). But Microsoft 

(Microsoft: Stock) 

is doing its best and launching the largest campaign that the mobile market has ever seen. Yes, the iPhone's been doing this brilliantly for a long time now. But the acknowledgment that the human side is vital is, from Microsoft, like a smile emerging from the lips of a Swiss Guard.

Let me tell you something about it's price in market. According to latest statements from experts, Microsoft is planning to spend about $400 million on core marketing of the Windows Phone 7.I have written my last article about this Windows Phone 7 and how Microsoft makes it perfest for users. Now I am going to talk about this new technology Windows Phone 7 for it's advertisement. This is not common ad.

 But it is created too intelligently and with funny effects. Eight global video ads will launch across Europe from 13/10/2010 and air in the US on the 25th of October. 

And the tag line for this advertisement set but Microsoft publishing comity   is "It’s time for a phone that will save us from our phones” ! what a great line from Microsoft! I like it too much. 

what does it mean? it means that Windows Phone 7 should provide its users with a better way to organize the information on the phone. I have written in my last article that how Microsoft make it self different from other Gadgets and Mobile developers! check it out here! Microsoft is also going to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace where people can engage in dialogue with the company and tell their own observations of the phone.


let you decide that one thing , but Microsoft says their Windows 7 phone is “to get you in, and out, and back to life”. But a good smartphone, ones like the iPhone, Android and the classic BlackBerry, are bringing users to their devices more often because of their excellent user experiences. Yes excellent user experiences, That You should also feel it. It's great gadgets I have ever tried of any company.

Now let me see you advertisement that is for 


Windows Phone 7:

Now that two officially sanctioned ads have emerged, different in content from the leaked affairs, but humming the same theme, they do nothing to lessen a sense of, at the very least, hope.

Tech fixes to wind turbine-radar conflict face hurdles

Emerging technology can ease the problem of wind farms causing interference with air-traffic control systems. But deployment of that technology in the U.S. has been slowed by questions over authority and cost.

Since 2006, radar maker Raytheon and National Air Traffic Services, which provides air traffic control in the U.K., have been working on a project to upgrade air traffic radar so it can distinguish between aircraft and wind turbines' spinning blades. Concerns over the disturbances turbines can cause on air traffic control systems are already stunting the growth of wind power: radar and wind turbines conflicts derailed nearly as much as the total amount of installed wind power capacity in the U.S. last year.

In the test, due for completion next spring, Raytheon and NATS are seeking to certify a combination of wind turbine mitigation techniques, including upgrading radar hardware and changing signal-processing algorithms.

"When you start putting a set of turbines across an area, what it looks like to the radar is a whole great field of moving objects," said Peter Drake, Raytheon's technical director for Digital Airport Surveillance Radar, the radar system used for airport terminals. "It's a very real problem."

Even though there are technical solutions, it's not clear how quickly they will make it into the field in the U.S. because air safety touches multiple government agencies with different priorities and budgets. "There's a lot of discussion taking place between everybody, but there isn't anybody who is tagged as lead," said Drake.

Mapping clutter

Wind farms can cause interference, or "clutter," on radar systems in more than one way. Spinning blades can appear on radar screens as an airplane, creating a false "target." Or, signals from the turbines can cause legitimate targets, such as an aircraft above a farm, to suddenly jump position, Drake explained.

A few turbines near an airport may not cause serious issues, but having wind farms with hundreds or thousands of turbines is far more challenging, he said. Exacerbating the issue is that wind-rich areas are often located near landing strips.

The problem is particularly troublesome at some military bases. So far, no serious safety incidents have occurred, but concerns with radar conflict have delayed or scrapped a number of wind farm projects in the U.S.

Raytheon began investing in wind turbine mitigation technology years ago in anticipation of the issue coming to a head as governments push for more renewable energy. The same techniques used in the NATS project could be applied to airport terminal radar systems in the U.S., said Brian Smith, the general manager for Raytheon Canada.

One technique, called concurrent beam processing, allows radar systems to discriminate between objects in the air and in the ground. Another creates a more accurate map of what the terrain looks like in all directions to help screen out stationary turbines from moving objects.

Implementing these technical fixes requires upgrading the electronics in radar systems so they can process more data and changes to the software that handles the data. These capabilities could be added as part of radar upgrades done for other reasons. "We're very confident that we have good solutions to solve the problems," said Smith.

Case-by-case mitigation

There are other mitigation strategies in addition to upgrading radar, but people should not think that one single solution is a "magic bullet" that completely solves the problem in every case, said Gary Seifert, a program manager for renewable energy technologies at the Idaho National Laboratories and an expert on wind-radar conflicts.

"Anybody who says they can solve all the problems is probably overstating," he said. "You can't just put in a magic box and have all the radar clutter disappear without impacting some performance issue."

Seifert recommends that each location be evaluated individually and that potential problems get identified early on in the process, so that wind developers' projects are not scuttled at the last moment.

Often, reducing the density of turbines can help address the issue, he said. In other cases, relatively straightforward software upgrades can greatly improve the ability of radar systems to filter out turbines.

Turbine manufacturers, including Vestas, are working on "stealth turbines" that have a material on the blades that cuts down on their reflectivity and cuts the amount of noise on radar systems.

Many other aerospace companies are working on the issue as well. Lockheed Martin, for example, is working on a long-range radar system that has more pinpoint control over radar performance near wind farms, said Seifert. Air traffic controllers could also use neighboring radars to improve the overall picture.

Even promising technologies, however, take many months or years to certify, whereas wind farm developers may have tight deadlines to keep costs under control. Also, there's the question of who will pay for the technical fixes: should it be taxpayer-funded agencies or wind farm developers?

The American Wind Energy Association said that there needs to be an increase in cooperation between wind developers and government agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Authority, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security. Without it, the U.S. will not be able to meet a Department of Energy goal of getting 20 percent of electricity from wind, it said in a paper from April (click for PDF).

"I can't imagine a better example of everyone wanting to do the right thing and nobody doing it," aviation consultant and former FAA official Howard Swancy told The New York Times. "We need an infrastructure-size development plan."

Samsung: Galaxy Tab has leg up on Apple iPad

BERLIN--When Samsung debuted its Galaxy Tab on Wednesday, it made a bold claim: the device is at least as good as today's dominant tablet, Apple's iPad.

"Honestly, I don't see anything [about the Galaxy Tab] that is weaker than the iPad," W.P. Wong, head of Samsung Mobile's product planning team, said at a press conference here at the IFA electronics show.

And in several ways, he said, the Galaxy Tab is stronger. It permits both picture-taking and video chat with front- and back-mounted cameras. Its weight of 380 grams (0.8 pounds) is considerably less than the iPad, which weighs 680 grams (1.5 pounds) without 3G and 730g (1.6 pounds) with it.

"In terms of the weight, you may not think it's a significant factor. But we think, through consumer research, that weight is very critical to enjoy the user experience," Hong said.

The product itself will begin shipping in late September or early October in Europe and by year's end in the U.S.

Samsung is already working to raise expectations about as high as they'll go.

"The Galaxy Tab will change our lives," Samsung Mobile President J.K. Shin said. "It is a true paradigm-shifter."

Samsung certainly has abundant experience with consumer electronics, including the fact that it makes the memory, display, and processor used in the Galaxy Tab. But it'll be tough taking on the iPad.

"Apple's iPad is unlikely to face a viable competitor until 2011, allowing the company to maintain a dominant share in the tablet market at least through 2012," research firm iSuppli said in August.

  

But Android's success on smartphones that compete with the iPhone has revealed that it's possible to at least compete effectively against Apple, if not hurt the company, in its iOS device domain.

Android, though it lags iOS-based devices in gaming titles, does have a wide range of applications. Samsung pointed out that the Galaxy Tab will run Adobe Systems' Flash Player 10.1, which opens the doors to more games available over the Web.

But Apple has often won out against rivals with a stronger list of individual features. It's not clear yet whether the Galaxy Tab--or a host of other tablets based on Android, WebOS, or Windows 7--will be able to match the iPad's overall user experience.

"Apple's complete integration of hardware, software, operating system, and applications is a major piece of what makes the device a standout," said iSuppli analyst Rhoda Alexander.

Regarding battery life, the Galaxy Tab looks at least competitive, though Samsung didn't call it out specifically as an advantage. The device will be able to play high-definition video for at least 7 hours on a single charge and perform less strenuous tasks for much more than 10 hours, said Thomas Richter, head of Samsung's product portfolio for the European telecommunications division. Apple says the iPad can last 10 hours running a combination of video, Web surfing, and book reading; reviewers have been generally impressed by its longevity.

The Galaxy Tab will include Android 2.2, called Froyo, and will be upgradable to Android 3.0, called Gingerbread, Hong said.

The following build of the Android operating system, Honeycomb, won't be available for the first Galaxy Tab models, though, Hong said.

"Since we emphasized portability and mobility, our determination was to apply smartphone platform instead of tablet platform," Hong said. "Honeycomb will be implemented in our next-generation tablet, not this device, because that [Honeycomb] is specifically optimized for a different type of tablet. This emphasizes mobility."

The Galaxy Tab can indeed be thought off more as an extra-large smartphone. It will be sold through carriers--large ones in the United States, Europe, Asia, and China, Samsung said, hinting that Verizon is a likely option. Indeed, unlike the iPad, there's no version that doesn't have 3G wireless networking and a carrier plan, though Samsung said such a move was possible with future models.

The Galaxy Tab is the first of a series of products that will span a range of prices, Hong said. "Next year, you might be able to see a variety of different tablets coming from our company," Hong said.

Samsung wouldn't reveal prices, leaving that up to telecommunications companies that would bring the Galaxy Tab to market, but it will be competitive, said DJ Lee, senior vice president in charge of Samsung Mobile global sales and marketing.

"Our business model is to go through global telephone operators," Lee said. "The final price setting, including the rate plan, will be finalized by the rate plan operators. We cannot give an exact number. We are working to keep a very attractive and competitive price to offer the end user."

The tablet's 7-inch, 1024x600-pixel LCD display is significantly larger than that used in smartphones where Android prevails today, and Samsung has worked with Google to ensure makers of the 200 most popular apps will be compatible with the device, Hong said. Overall, though, "85 to 90 percent of the content in the Android Marketplace is compatible with the screen," Hong said.

The device will come with a variety of Samsung-supplied applications, too, including those for playing music and video in a variety of formats, video chatting, e-mail, and reading books and magazines.

For those carriers with e-reader partnerships, Samsung will be able to install other software as well. However, Lee was eager to point out that the Galaxy Tab's reader application provides access to 2,500 magazines, 1,600 newspapers, and 2 million books.

When it comes to applications, Samsung has some divided loyalties. Along with the Galaxy Tab and the Android-powered Galaxy S smartphones, Samsung has its own Bada operating system to cultivate for smartphones. And the Samsung Apps effort for what Samsung calls smart TVs is another effort at building a strong developer ecosystem: Samsung announced Wednesday it will pay 500,000 euros ($641,000) to developers in Europe in a follow-up to contests it has run in Asia and the United States.

After years developing hardware expertise, it's clear Samsung has software religion now. Boo-Keun Yoon, president of Samsung Electronics' visual display business, called it the "connective tissue" of its devices.

"Samsung became the world's largest electronics company because of our strong hardware design and the connectivity of devices," Yoon said. "Over the past [few] years, that strength has extended to the software and applications that bring these to life."
