Windows Mobile Cell Phones

In the market of several of large mainstream system, Windows Mobile is the older, but recently the latest Gartner figures showed that according to smart phones’ sales to dealers in the first quarter of the year 2010, the situation of Windows Mobile is very embarrassing. How does the WM system do facing pressure and what effect do Mobile phones have?

The history of phones version of Windows Mobile

Windows Mobile, whose prototype is Windows CE, before the early of 2003 version, called Pocket PC, Smart Phone, now renamed Windows Mobile. WM system has been updated to 6.5 version, which is widely used in Mobile phones and other handheld devices. From the early version 3.0 to the development of 6.5, the combine of cell phones and WM system is more efficiency and almighty. Besides, the strengthening of cell phone and compatibility of the system is what Microsoft has been concerned when changing version. It’s reported the latest Windows phone7 will be available in this year. Let’s expect that it will bring us a new surprise.

The Actuality of Windows Mobile Cell Phones

Although history is very old, the present situation of the Windows Mobile is not optimistic, from the latest information, Android takes 9.6% in the first quarter of Mobile phones on the market share, which is below in the Symbian of Nokia, blackberry operating system of RIM and iPhone OS of apples, but higher than Windows Mobile of Microsoft, ranking the fourth.

Data shows that more than 240 million Symbian were sold in the first quarter increased by 35% year-on-year, but affected by overall sales soared of smart phone, market share reduced from 48% to 44.3%.

The shipment of Blackberry is more than 10.5 million in the first quarter, increasing by 40% year-on-year, market share dropped from 20.6% to 19.4%.

The shipment of iPhone is more than 830 million in the first quarter increasing by 117% year-on-year, market share raised from 10.5% to 15.4%.

The shipment of Android is more than 5.2 million in the first quarter increasing by 800% year-on-year, market share raised sharply from 1.6% to 9.6%.

The shipment of Windows Mobile cell phones is more than 370 million in the first quarter, although the shipment is flat compared with last quarter, under the situation of cell phones’ shipments growing sharply, market share dropped from 10.2% to 6.8%, which fell nearly 4 percent.

Facing the current WM6.5 fight being inconclusive, under the condition of putting off the time of entering the market of Windows Phone7 which is seen the savior of Windows Mobile by Microsoft, it is impossible to compete with apples and Android for WM. In the face of the strong combination of iPhone + appstore、Android + Google market, Is Windows Mobile once the noble coming to the end?

Where is the way of Windows mobile phones?

So far, Microsoft can wait for WP7 to change the situation, Microsoft and apple joint together, although they both are the enemy. Facing the excesses of the Android, it is far more than single-handedly. Through the pressure on HTC by Microsoft, now the main enemy of the WM is Android, although Microsoft took a series of remedial measures, there is no guarantee on the market of Windows Mobile type. We believe that the value of WM cell phones is unavoidable. Owning the advantage of price, maybe these models have the opportunity to struggle.

Tablet PCs Reviews – The Best Mobile Computers (Tablet, Convertible and Hybrid)

Mobile computing has been a hot topic lately with so many advances in chip architecture and power efficiency. Laptops have long been the standard for mobile users, but there is another form factor type that has been on the market for some time that deserves a little more recognition. Sometimes a laptop can be unwieldy and awkward to handle. In situations where opening up a laptop isn’t an option, tablet PCs get the job done in a much more inconspicuous way.

The term tablet PCs is a general description for any mobile computer that is designed to be controlled with your fingers or a pen device that is touched directly to the screen surface. There are a few different styles of tablet PCs; some of which have keyboards and others not, both having their own strengths and weaknesses.

·Convertible tablet PCs

* Offers the flexibility of a full keyboard
* Screen rotates 180 degrees and lays flat against keyboard for tablet PC operation
* Rotating screen connection tends to be very weak and easy to break

·Slate tablet PCs

* Has no attached keyboard
* External keyboard can be attached via Bluetooth or USB
* Very thin and light compared to other styles

·Hybrid tablet PCs

* Offers flexibility of a full keyboard
* Screen detaches from keyboard and/or slides away
* More sturdy than convertible screen attachment

Most major manufacturers offer some version of the tablet PC form factor. Gateway, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Toshiba, Fujitsu, ASUS and Sony all have very competitive products to offer.

Here are two examples of popular tablet PCs that do their job very nicely:

Lenovo Thinkpad X61

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo L7500

• Display Size (inches): 12.1 • Wide Screen: No • Total HD Size (GB): 120 • Min. Weight (lbs.): 4.0 • Price (at time of review): 00

This convertible style model is a great choice for business people who are finding themselves in need of computing power on the fly. Equipped with 2 GB RAM and the always necessary built in Wi-Fi card, this machine will handle document review/creation, data processing as well as VoIP calls very efficiently

Sony VAIO VGN-UX390N

CPU: Intel Core 2 Solo U2200

• Display Size (inches): 4.5 • Wide Screen: Yes • Total HD Size (GB): 32 • Min. Weight (lbs.): 1.0 • Price (at time of review): 00

Truly a genius invention, this tablet is considered a hybrid and is one of the most powerful machines you will find for its size. Fitting comfortably into your hands, it offers a slide up screen that reveals a full qwerty keyboard. Supplied with a stylus, this tablet PC gives you full computer access that almost fits in your pocket. 1 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and a cell phone SIM card slot mean you can take it almost anywhere and have access to your data.

Because of their inherent small chassis and light weight design, tablet PCs can be expected to offer performance more or less on par with ultraportable models. Don’t think you will be able to do video processing or run any killer apps on these machines, but if what you are looking for is sleek, discrete access to your computer, tablet PCs might just be your match.
