New Nokia n97 Releasing soon!

Introduction:

What can I say about the products of Nokia, really amazing products. Since 4 years I am using Nokia’s N Series, the service is awesome enough - still it is working without any problem, no change of battery nor cell panel. Now! they have released new product into market, named N97 - Nokia N97, (Nokia calls it a mobile computer) but by looking at the piece you will say that it is a Plam Tablet, really I mean it - if you don’t believe, here are some of the awesome snap shots of the same. It comes down in two colors White and Transition Black.

Apple Releases the New iPhone

With under-the-hood hardware changes, a new camera that shoots video and more storage room for a growing number of apps, Apple's new iPhone 3G S is a faster, more flexible, more capable mobile device.

When Apple Inc.'s new iPhone 3G S -- the "S" stands for speed -- officially went on sale this morning, I made sure I was one of those standing in line at an AT&T store so I snap one up as soon as the doors opened. Unlike past years, the number of people waiting at stores around the U.S. to get the new iPhone was smaller, perhaps because the latest model is evolutionary -- not revolutionary -- compared to the original iPhone or the 3G model that debuted last summer. (More likely, it's because buyers could pre-order it and either pick it up at the store or have it delivered directly to their home.)

AT&T divided the 20 or so people in line into walk-in buyers and those who pre-ordered. I was a walk-in, so I had to wait while those who pre-ordered the phone by last Friday got their phones first. Time to wait for the 32GB model I wanted: about 55 minutes after the store opened. Price out the door: $299 (I've been using the first-generation EDGE-based model, so I qualified for AT&T's upgrade pricing.)

AT&T activated my phone at the store, then I dashed home to sync up my personal data and apps using iTunes. The sync took about an hour, which is not surprising, given that the restore copied over 16GB of apps, music, movies and TV shows.

Physically, the iPhone 3G S looks and feels no different than the last generation model. The only tell-tale sign is the small text that reads "32GB" on the back of the phone, storage capacity that wasn't available to previous generation phones. In one fell swoop, I've doubled the space I have for more apps and data.

The new 3G S comes in a choice of colors, as long as your choice is white or black. I stayed with black. And I quickly noticed that the new coating on the screen actually works. The iPhone is still a fingerprint magnet, but the screen wipes clean very easily.

Given that the form factor hasn't changed, anyone with an older 3G model shouldn't have any problems using previously bought accessories like external cases. What new 3G S owners will notice are the under-the-hood changes Apple has made. Though it isn't talking about the hardware details, other sites have reported that the 3G S has a new Arm processor and more RAM, meaning -- just like a newer, faster computer -- it should run faster and more smoothly.

It does. Navigating around my apps, I found the 3G S to be more responsive and smooth when launching programs and surfing the Web.

The original iPhone, released at the end of June 2007, shipped with hardware that at the time offered a pretty significant jump for mobile technology. Two years in technology terms is like two decades in human years, more than enough time for products that have lived normal, active lives to be sent to retirement homes in Florida. Even so, the release earlier this week of iPhone OS 3.0 freshened even the first-generation iPhone I had been using.

On the 3G S, the updated OS works well with some of the phone's new features, especially the higher-resolution camera -- three megapixels -- that can for the first time take video and has auto-focus. The Camera application produces noticeably sharper, more color-balanced pictures. Touching any part of the screen automatically focuses on the area you've tapped. It easily outshines the camera used on earlier models.

Better yet, the new camera can record VGA-quality footage in either landscape or portrait modes. VGA-quality video -- 640 pixels by 480 pixels -- while not great for shooting feature films, is plenty fine for Web video and maybe even iMovie projects. Plus you can now upload movies shot on the phone from in much the same way photos can be uploaded on earlier models. One note: Once you start shooting video, you can't change the camera's focus.

The 3G S also has a compass, which will make it hard for you ever to get lost as long as you have your 3G S with you. The virtual compass follows your movements in real-time, displaying a readout of your position in terms of which direction you're facing. The compass also display the coordinates received from the GPS signal -- and a single touch of the compass' location button automatically displays that location in Maps.

I haven't had time yet to fully put the iPhone 3G S through its paces, but will be doing so over the next few days for a full review Computerworld will post next week.

But it's clear that Apple's latest iPhone should be another winner. With the addition of a bumped-up processor, additional memory, the new camera and more storage room , this iPhone is simply a faster, more capable computer. It's the equivalent of moving from an old PC or Mac to newer and better hardware. If last year's iPhone 3G can be summed up as: faster data connection/more accurate location support, then this iPhone can be summed up so as upgraded hardware and a noticeably improved user experience.

All in all, I'm quite taken.

Computer software

Computer software, or just software is a general term used to describe the role that computer programs, procedures and documentation play in a computer system.

The term includes:

Application software such as word processors which perform productive tasks for users.

Firmware which is software programmed resident to electrically programmable memory devices on board mainboards or other types of integrated hardware carriers.

Middleware which controls and co-ordinates distributed systems.

System software such as operating systems, which interface with hardware to provide the necessary services for application software.

Software testing is a domain independent of development and programming. It consists of various methods to test and declare a software product fit before it can be launched for use by either an individual or a group. Many tests on functionality, performance and appearance are conducted by modern testers with various tools such as QTP, Load runner, Black box testing etc to edit a checklist of requirements against the developed code. ISTQB is a certification that is in demand for engineers who want to pursue a career in testing.

Testware which is an umbrella term or container term for all utilities and application software that serve in combination for testing a software package but not necessarily may optionally contribute to operational purposes. As such, testware is not a standing configuration but merely a working environment for application software or subsets thereof.

Software includes websites, programs, video games, etc. that are coded by programming languages like C, C++, etc.

"Software" is sometimes used in a broader context to mean anything which is not hardware but which is used with hardware, such as film, tapes and records.
