Glidetrack Mobislyder Portable Dolly Track For Smartphones Review

A wheeled camera dolly can add smooth tracking motions to your smartphone opus, but if you were hoping to include a dramatic vertical reveal, you'll need the Mobislyder which instead uses a smooth ball bearing track system and it designed specifically for use with smaller cameras, the Mobislyder includes articulated mounts that either screw into the thread mount on the underside of your camera, or clamp onto thinner devices like smartphones. The mounts swivel around so that the glider track can be used at any angle and it weighs just over a pound for amateur auteurs on the go. The example videos show off smooth tracking shots that would be difficult or impossible to achieve by hand and the Mobislyder is currently available for preorder for $135.



MOVE OVER Spielberg and Tarantino, the cinematic style of big movie making has gone viral with the launch of mobislyder, the world's first portable dolly designed specifically for smartphones and compact cameras. The mobislyder, a new innovation from Glidetrack, the world's leading camera slider company, is set to revolutionise mobile device video production. Stylish and ultraportable, the mobislyder has been designed from the ground up to suit a broad range of small video-enabled devices - including iPhone, Android smart phones, smaller DSLR cameras and mini camcorders. As video on demand becomes the medium of choice for businesses and individuals the mobislyder provides professionals and amateurs alike with the ability to create cinematic-style shots. "For years sophisticated-looking camera moves were only available to professionals with big budgets and truck loads of gear. But now, with most camera devices capable of shooting HD video, mobislyder allows operators to take smooth tracking shots fit for the big screen -all with the sweep of a finger," said Alastair Brown, the 43-year-old UK entrepreneur who founded Glidetrack in 2008. The name Glidetrack has now become synonymous with these types of cinematic gliding moves. There are literally thousands of user videos on YouTube and Vimeo created by people using the equipment to enhance the quality of their productions."We have been working on creating a smaller Glidetrack-style piece of equipment suitable for mobile devices such as iPhone and compact cameras for some time but until now the video quality wasn't quite there," said Alastair. "However, with the development of the iPhone 4S and other new generation devices capable of shooting full high definition video we fele the time was right to launch the mobislyder."



The new device, which retails at around £129 ($175 USD) but is being made available at a special launch price of £99 ($135 USD) in the run up to Christmas, is perfect for special occasions such as weddings, concerts, holidays, sports events, social media news reporting and even corporate promotions and PR videos. With more than 200,000 videos uploaded to YouTube and in excess of 1 billion views, every day the demand for good quality user generated content on the web is booming, especially among companies getting to grips with the value of video. Various surveys into the impact of video suggests news releases with video links have a 300 per cent higher retention rate and 500 per cent more views than text only versions. Products promoted with video have reported increased sales of between 17 per cent and 36 per cent. According to the latest industry figures total online video views are on track to grow by some 20% from 640billion last year to around 770billion this year while paid-for online video revenues will reach in excess of $3bn (USD). And with experts predicting sales of smartphones to exceed more than 450million worldwide this year volume is set to increase even more. However, the more videos there are the more demanding and selective viewers are becoming. "The days of shaky video being posted online are gone. People are becoming more demanding about what they watch which means companies or individuals need to improve the quality of their videos and mobislyder can help them do that," added Alastair. "We see mobislyder as becoming the industry standard piece of gear for Ebay sellers, Amazon product videos, Bloggers - in fact anyone wanting to get high quality video on their site without breaking the bank."

HTC's new monster: The HTC Sensation XL

I am guessing XL, in the name of HTC's Sensation XL stands for extra large. Its 4.7-inch screen dwarfs the 4.3-inch units on the Desire HD and Sensation. Physically, it is big. It is 2.7 mm wider than the Desire HD and 6.4 mm taller than the Sensation. At 9.9 mm it is much slimmer than either the Desire HD or the Sensation.

Inside though, it is not much of a giant. Fire up the unit and the 480 x 800 resolution is probably a bit low for this size of screen, especially today with the Android flagships moving up to 720 x 1280. Its has a 1.5GHz single core processor is fast, but really puts it in the realm of mid-level Androids. The phone comes with 16GB of internal storage but it has no SD Card slot. It has a better camera than its HTC Android brothers and does come with Beats Audio... but at Php27,100 it is a little bit too expensive for what it offers. 

The HTC Sensation XE is actually an Android version of the Windows Phone 7.5 powered HTC Titan. As a Windows Phone it is a monster device. As a Android phone it is a mouse wearing the armor of a monster. Sometimes I think HTC just made the Sensation XE to use up Titan parts in case the Windows phone flops.

We recommend you pass on this one. 27K is just too much for this phone. At 4-5K less, we would feel differently. If you want a big expensive Droid, the Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation XE are much better choices. Still, a 4.7-inch screen, is a 4.7-inch screen. If you are vision impaired or just want a bigger screen, you may want to give this one a look.

When typing a URL in Safari, you don’t have to type the “www” or the “.com”.For instance, for www.cnn.com just type “cnn” in the URL box. Note: Your search engine must be set to Google, not Yahoo.

      3.   Domain Suffix – [On firmware 2.0 only]

Hold down the “.com” key for “.net, .edu, .org” keys. Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.

      4.   Press & Hold For Alternate Characters –

Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type Espa√±a with the “√±” simply hold “n” and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).

RIM BlackBerry Mobile Fusion Next-Generation Enterprise Mobility Solution Review

Research In Motion announced that it will soon launch software that will bring security and management features once only found on BlackBerrys over to Android and iOS phones and tablets. The new plan for RIM revolves around focusing on what it does best for mobile device management software—asset management, configuration, security policies, group administration and centralized management and RIM appears to be trying to thread the needle between the bring your own device movement. System requirements include the latest version of BES, v5.0.3; Apple iOS 4 or later; Android 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3--it's unclear if Mobile Fusion will support the latest Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet OS and some BlackBerry PlayBook security and management features require a Microsoft Exchange server or virtualized server. In addition to BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, RIM is also betting on an upcoming line of superphones running its in-development BBX operating system and an exact launch date for those devices has not been publicly declared.


Research In Motion introduced BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, the Company's next-generation enterprise mobility solution and RIM's entry into the multi-platform Mobile Device Management (MDM) marketplace. Building on years of leading enterprise mobility management solutions from RIM, BlackBerry Mobile Fusion will simplify the management of smartphones and tablets running BlackBerry, Google Android and Apple iOS operating systems. "We are pleased to introduce BlackBerry Mobile Fusion – RIM's next generation enterprise mobility solution – to make it easier for our business and government customers to manage the diversity of devices in their operations today," said Alan Panezic, Vice President, Enterprise Product Management and Marketing at Research In Motion. "BlackBerry Mobile Fusion brings together our industry-leading BlackBerry Enterprise Server technology for BlackBerry devices with mobile device management capabilities for iOS and Android devices, all managed from one web-based console. It provides the necessary management capabilities to allow IT departments to confidently oversee the use of both company-owned and employee-owned mobile devices within their organizations." RIM is the leading provider of enterprise mobility solutions with over 90 percent of the Fortune 500 provisioning BlackBerry devices today. The enterprise market for smartphones and tablets continues to grow in both the company-provisioned and employee-owned (Bring Your Own Device or BYOD) categories. BYOD in particular has led to an increase in the diversity of mobile devices in use in the enterprise and new challenges for CIOs and IT departments as they struggle to manage and control wireless access to confidential company information on the corporate network. This has resulted in increased demand for mobile device management solutions.

BlackBerry Mobile Fusion brings together the market-leading BlackBerry Enterprise Server (version 5.0.3) for BlackBerry smartphones; new management capabilities for BlackBerry PlayBook tablets built on BlackBerry Enterprise Server technology; and mobile device management for smartphones and tablets running Android and iOS operating systems. BlackBerry smartphones will continue to benefit from the many advantages of the end-to-end BlackBerry solution including the same advanced IT management, security and control available with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0.3, which is part of BlackBerry Mobile Fusion. These advanced features include BlackBerry Balance technology supporting the use of a single device for both work and personal purposes without compromising the organization's need to secure, manage and control confidential information; over 500 IT policies; over-the-air app and software installation and management; high availability; and much more. BlackBerry Mobile Fusion will also introduce new self-service functionality for employees to secure lost or stolen BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is currently in early beta testing with select enterprise customers. RIM is now accepting customer nominations for the closed beta program which will start in January, and general availability is expected in late March. BlackBerry Mobile Fusion will provide the following mobile device management capabilities for all supported mobile devices:

• Asset management
• Configuration management
• Security and policy definition and management
• Secure and protect lost or stolen devices (remote lock, wipe)
• User- and group-based administration
• Multiple device per user capable
• Application and software management
• Connectivity management (Wi-Fi, VPN, certificate)
• Centralized console
• High scalability

Apple iPhone 4 catches fire in-flight

GSM Arena reports that an Apple iPhone 4 burned on a flight to Sydney, just as the place was about to land. The device has now been turned over to the Australian Transport and Safety Board.

This is not the first Apple iPhone to catch fire, and neither is it the first mobile phone to catch fire. In 2007 a Nokia phone reportedly exploded while charging. In 2009, the European Commission examined reports of exploding iPhone and iPods. In 2010, there is a report of a exploding Motorola Droid 2.

However, earlier this month Apple issued a recall of first-generation iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 because of the possibility that the battery may overheat. Recalling a product five (5) years after it is no longer in production seems like pretty much a useless gesture. The main concern here is that it was recalled for an overheating battery. 

The question in our head is how many iDevices have overheating batteries, and do we have to wait five years to find out.

Want to try out Windows Phone 7.5 in your Android or iPhone?

Want to find out what the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango experience is like, Microsoft has a easy to use demo for Android and iPhone owners. You can run a Windows Phone 7.5 Mango from your own Android or iPhone without installing any software on it.

Just point your mobile browser to http://m.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/demo/ you will be taken to a interactive HTML5 page. The demo puts a  Windows Phone 7.5 interface on your phone ans shows you how things are done in Windows Phone 7.5.

The demo runs smoothly on my HTC Desire HD. I tried the demo on the lower powered Samsung Galaxy Ace, and it works, though it run sluggishly.

It looks like Microsoft has learned a lot from their failed 2010 Windows Phone 7 launch and has spent more time coming up with schemes to push Windows Phone 7.5 this year.

LG confirms Android 4.0 upgrade for Optimus 2X, Optimus 3D, and Optimus Black

The Verge resports that LG has confirmed that an Android 4.0, "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS), upgrade for will be rolled out for its Optimus 2X, Optimus 3D, and Optimus Black handsets. Most surprising is the confirmation of Android on the Optimus Black, which runs on 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor with a PowerVR SGX530 GPU on a TI OMAP 3630 chipset and has 2GB of internal memory. It is great to see ICS being brought to a mid-level handset. 

This should mean it would be possible to update most most 2010 flagship Androids to ICS should be possible. Samsung has confirmed that ICS is coming to their 2010 flagship, the Google Nexus S and the Samsung Galaxy S We also know that ICS is not coming to the Google Nexus One and HTC Desire, most likely due to lack of internal phone storage.

Fujifilm X-S1 12-Megapixel EXR CMOS DSLR-Like Bridge Camera Review

Fujifilm has launched its latest X series camera, the Fujifilm X-S1, billed as the reinvention of the bridge camera, which packing a 12-megapixel sensor, 26x optical zoom and up to 10fps continuous shooting, the X-S1 has both an adjustable 3-inch display. The XS-1 sports a Super Macro Mode for focusing down to a rather intimate single centimeter and the X-S1 will also record H.264 full HD (1920 x 1080) video at 30 frames per second. Fujifilm X-S1 will be available for £699 in the UK in February of 2012 and pricing fhe US has been revealed at this time.

The Fujifilm X series of premium cameras has a third model, the X-S1, due for UK launch in February 2012. The XS-1 represents a new breed of bridge camera. Featuring a Fujinon 26x optical zoom lens through to the EXR sensor technology found in the X10, the X-S1 puts the photographer in control. The X-S1 is the ideal camera for the safari and travel photographer – offering superb image quality, extensive zoom range and superior handling. The centrepiece of the X-S1 is the superb Fujinon 26x optical zoom lens. Offering a range of 24-624mm (35mm equivalent) it caters perfectly for every photographic need and features a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide-angle setting. This optical range is boosted further by Fujifilm's Intelligent Digital Zoom capability, which effectively doubles the focal range without the drop in picture quality traditionally seen on older digital models As a result, the X-S1 offers users an incredible 52x zoom range of 24-1248mm (35mm equivalent). Optically, the Fujinon lens comprises 17 glass elements, which includes four aspherical elements and two ED lenses, to deliver images with superb edge-to-edge sharpness and amazing clarity. The lens' construction is also of the highest standard, featuring metal cams for smooth zoom control and fast, precise framing. The X-S1 is also ideally suited to capturing subjects close up. In standard mode, the zoom focuses down to 30cm, but by selecting Super Macro Mode, users can focus down to just 1cm for frame-filling close-up images. Furthermore, the lens' aperture is made up of nine blades for excellent bokeh effect photography. The X-S1 features the same 2/3-inch 12 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor as the X10 which guarantees high quality images regardless of the lighting conditions. The unique EXR CMOS technology pioneered by Fujifilm allows the user to switch between three modes – High Resolution, Wide Dynamic Range and High Sensitivity/Low Noise - depending on the lighting conditions or leave the camera to make its own choice in the Auto EXR mode.

Coupled to the EXR CMOS sensor is a Fujifilm high speed EXR processor, which offers a minimal shutter lag of just 0.01sec and a high speed continuous shooting capability. The X-S1 also takes high-quality movies. It captures Full High Definition (1920 x 1080 pixels) video with stereo sound at 30 frames-per-second. The X-S1 offers a powerful combination of high quality electronic viewfinder and rear LCD, with the 0.47-inch electronic viewfinder (EVF) featuring 1.44 million pixels for superb image clarity with a wide viewing area of 26 degrees to reduce eye strain. The rear mounted high quality, tiltable three-inch LCD screen features 460,000 pixels to make it easier for users to scroll through menus, assess exposure accuracy and view images. The LCD also offers a useful Daylight mode that overcomes the problem of viewing the screen in bright conditions. The X-S1 offers a superb level of functionality whether users want to make picture taking as simple as using a compact or as involved as a fully-manual digital SLR. For simplicity, the X-S1 will assess the subject and then select the relevant scene mode for the perfect result, automatically switching the EXR CMOS sensor accordingly. The XS-1 can also calculate whether an image contains a person, features backlighting or has any subject movement. ISO settings are taken care of too by the Auto ISO mode. Photographers after full control are well catered for with the X-S1. The camera offers a full range of conventional shooting functions (program/aperture-priority/shutter-priority/manual), plus users can also fine tune levels of colour, image sharpness and tone. Additionally, the X-S1 provides four auto bracketing options, eight Film Simulation and white balance functions and a Raw file format. Due to be launched in February 2012 in the UK, the X-S1 will have an estimated selling price of £699.

SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Limited Edition Headset And SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic Limited Edition Mouse Review

SteelSeries lends Fnatic support to limited edition gaming mouse and headset, decked out in the black-and-orange regalia of Team Fnatic. You’ll find first of all that both of these devices have an interestingly unique look to them, then you’ll find that their quality in attacking the gaming world is of course second to none and inside the headset you’ll find 50mm dynamic driver units and SNDBlock ear cushions for sound isolation. Inside the mouse you’ll find a 32 bit ARM processor for its ExactTech settings and full customization abilities, which has a light-up Fnatic team logo and contains the ability to be the most customized mouse on the market. The $99.99 Sensei mouse features 8 buttons and highly customizable sensitivity settings, which is powered by an onboard ARM processor. Sensei 7H headset has price tag of $139.99 and both products are available now directly from SteelSeries, at a $10 premium over their regular models.

Dreamhack Winter, the world's largest digital festival and LAN party kicks off, SteelSeries and one of the most recognized and accomplish gaming teams, Team Fnatic, introduce the SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Limited Edition headset and SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic Limited Edition mouse. Available now on SteelSeries Web Shop, the Limited Edition 7H headset features 50mm dynamic driver units with new, sound isolating SNDBlock ear cushions; while the Limited Edition Sensei features award-winning technology like its 32 bit ARM processor that powers SteelSeries' ExactTech settings and customization abilities, all of which are housed in an ambidextrous, black, orange and white Fnatic color design and illuminated Fnatic team logo. "We sponsor and work with a number of incredibly talented professional players and are proud to say that the Fnatic team is part of that family," said Kim Rom, SteelSeries CMO. "We have been supporters and collaborators with, as well as fans of, the talent that makes up the Fnatic squad for a long time now. We felt that it was the perfect time to introduce co-branded peripherals – that their players helped us design, regularly use and win with – to their immense and passionate fan following." "Our players have tough competition; they need everything to work to become champions, from their raw aim or APM right up to the equipment. Because of this, we work closely with SteelSeries to collaborate on the design and functionality of SteelSeries' professional gaming peripherals. We are so proud of what has been accomplished that we thought it was about time to put our mark -visibly - on those products" said Sam Mathews, Fnatic's owner. "Enter the Fnatic Limited Edition peripherals, on the best headphones and mouse we've ever used, 7H and Sensei - now with more style."

The SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Limited Edition headset features 50 mm dynamic driver units that deliver an exceptionally rich and detailed soundscape, from mood setting music to critical 3D positional sounds and alerts. The closed-type headset reduces ambient noise, while the unique, SNDBlock, hybrid ear cushions made of both cloth and leather, provide sound isolation from an inner leather layer and comfort from the outer cloth layer. The headset can also be dismantled into 4 separate pieces, which allows for compact and easy transportation. The Limited Edition Fnatic headset is $139.99 / €114.99 MSRP. The most customizable mouse to ever hit the competitive gaming industry, the SteelSeries Sensei, is now available in a Limited Edition Fnatic design transforming to an orange, black, and white ambidextrous force to be reckoned with and three zones of 16.8 million color illumination options, including on the Fnatic logo. Its 32 bit ARM processor powers sophisticated calculations that can be done directly on the mouse without the need for software drivers and without having to rely on the user's computer. Sensitivity settings can be changed in increments of one from 1 to 5,700 CPI, and an overclocked Double CPI feature that allows the user to go all the way up to 11,400 DCPI. The Limited Edition Fnatic mouse is $99.99 / €99.99 MSRP. Fnatic's CEO and owner, Sam Mathews couldn't hide his enthusiasm when asked about the new products: “Our players have tough competition; they need everything to work to become champions, from their raw aim or APM right up to the equipment. Because of this, we worked closely with SteelSeries to collaborate on the design and functionality of SteelSeries’ professional gaming peripherals. We are so proud of what has been accomplished that we thought it was about time to put our mark -visibly - on those products".

Here is what FnaticMSI.CS's captain, Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon, had to say about the new headset:

"SteelSeries 7H is the perfect choice for the gamers who values both clear and realistic sound, and a headset with great noise-canceling to avoid external noises which affects your focus and ability to hear your enemy. The SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Edition is by far the coolest looking headset I have came across in my career and I´m looking forward to wear it during our future tournaments."

FnaticMSI's Korean SC2 player Seo Yong 'Rain' Park has also been playing with the 7HV2 FnaticMSI edition the last few weeks, and he too liked its fantastic sound:

"I have been using the SteelSeries Siberia v2 before I tried the 7H and the results have been great. I find them to be very comfortable and it is more practical to carry it around for MLG & other tournaments. The ear muffs are of high quality and I find it great to use even at home for practice"
