Review: Sony Ericsson Satio - Cruel mobile camera
There are several interesting features with the Sony Ericsson Satio, but the biggest is undoubtedly the digital camera. Satio is almost certainly the best mobile camera on the market right now. It has many exciting features and is nice - but great.
Satio is a rather large mobile phone.Visually, it reminds a bit of a complication rate of the camera. The part of the back where the camera lens is thicker than the rest of the cell phone, which is a result of pushing good optics in the camera. Above the lens is a powerful lens cap that is easy to push aside and protecting the camera in a good way.
Virtually everything is handled via the touch screen. A number of buttons to facilitate the management there is. On the front we find three narrow buttons to answer and hang up, and to return to the main menu. The pages of the keylock and a memory card slot, and zoom, playback, switching between the camera and video, and stop button. It is worth noting in terms of memory is that Sony Ericsson is actually made use of a microSD card instead of its own Memory Stick.
Despite its size is Satio well in hand and it is nicely designed. As with most other phones in this segment are the following 20 seconds of usage fullsmetad of fingerprints. The disadvantage with high-gloss black paint.
Digital camera impresses
Satio digital camera really stands out from the crowd. The sensor is 12.1 megapixels, and in addition to a fast autofocus, it also features face recognition with leéndedetektor. The camera is also equipped with anti-shake and lightning. In addition to these technical features, optics unusually good to be a camera phone. Together generates this great digital photos.
A fun feature is the Best Picture that automatically takes ten pictures quickly one after another, and then lets you choose the best picture. This came in handy when I photographed our little son and pets - children and animals are desperate to take pictures of. There is also the ability to shoot panoramas.
With the help of so-called pektagning select where the focus will end up by simply pointing to any object in the picture. This places the focus point of the selected area.
The camera’s software, Photo fix, you can easily adjust brightness and contrast.Another software corrects red eye, which can occur when shooting portraits with flash.
Satio can also record video clips with an accompanying YouTube application lets you upload your videos directly on the film site. This is something that is certainly of interest to all of you who runs a video blog. For ordinary digital photos are also functions for direct publishing on the Web via Google Picasa. Blogs via Google Blogger, you can post your messages via Satio.
The interface and Symbian
With Satio is the first time that Sony Ericsson uses the operating system Symbian S60. This we have seen earlier, the Nokia 5800. The differences in the interface is not huge between the two cell phones, although in Satio has made about the design a bit to feel more like a Sony Ericsson mobile.
I saw the interface as pretty. It was relatively easy to understand, but in some areas it felt a little messy. It was not always quite logical what to do. That said, it would be overly difficult to learn to manage your mobile. New to the Symbian earlier, please do not expect a learning curve.
The browser that came with, I can not help but mention, for it was not funny. At all.The handsets from Sony Ericsson that I’ve tried have been entitled shabby browser and this is no exception. Non-existent features, poor support for Web standards and tough as a syrup. Actually, this is not a major problem because you can download as Opera Mobile instead.
Technical specifications
Putting aside the software does a very good surfing, thanks to the LCD screen. It is 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. The sharpness is razor sharp.When you rotate the phone 90 degrees “dumps” screen, so you instead get a landscape picture.
To enter the URLs go smoothly with the onscreen keyboard, which is much easier to use than a standard keypad. When you write text messages and e-mail, you can use a full keyboard on the screen, where the Swedish characters are represented.
You can connect via the 3G network or a wireless WiFi network, if you are near one. This feature I found very easy to use and worked fine.
Satio has built-in GPS that can either be used with Google Maps or Wisepilot. The test showed that they worked well for the uses you have a GPS to.
Finally, the Satio works well with mobile media. Facilities include a software Media Go, which is developed by Sony Ericsson themselves, and that allows you to organize your media films for transmission between the mobile phone, PC and Playstation Portable (if you have one). There is also a good YouTube player that lets you watch video clips.
Sony Ericsson Satio costs about the same as a decent laptop. It’s pretty much money for a cell phone, but it’s still an expected price range. In conclusion, it is a very good mobile phone, especially if you’re looking to use digital camera a lot and if you want to surf. There are lots of features and capabilities, that will not fit to go through this. As a tester, this has been a mobile I happily sat and played with in many, many hours …

Minidatorer comes with Windows 7
Har Hittills minidatorer ( netbooks ) använt sig av Windows XP som operativsystem. Det har att rejält Ratt retat Microsoft Vista for krävande var att kunna köras for more minidatorer, men med OCH to Windows 7 gar det att ta klivet Fran Gamla XP.
Windows XP has become the standard choice among operating systems for minicomputers . With some manufacturers, it is possible to select versions of Linux, but unfortunately lost the election fairly soon from the Swedish market, because the interest was too low. I could also try HP’s first mini PC HP 2133 Mini-Note , which came with a Vista installation, which was hopelessly slow. HP soon switched to XP to update the computer.
With Windows 7, Microsoft seems to be able to show how an operating system to work. Windows 7 is fine to install on machines that do not have as high a performance as has been done on parts of the system in Vista was very demanding (may include management of Services ).
Limitations of computers
Initially it was thought that Microsoft would offer Windows 7 Starter Edition for installation on mini computers. Starter Edition was initially a limit of three applications to run simultaneously, but after fierce criticism from users and the media chose Microsoft to remove the hold. There is still a rather limited version of the new OS.
Now, Microsoft has chosen to completely remove the requirement to mini-computers must be running Windows 7 Starter Edition . Computer manufacturers can choose which version you want to pre-load their computers with. Moreover, some changes have been made regarding the limits of the hardware on minicomputers. The screens may now be only 10.2 inches - unlike the past, when the limit was 12.1 inches.
The internal memory is the same, up to 1 GB , while the hard disk may be 250 GB(altera tive 64GB SSD) which can be compared with the previous 160 GB and 32 GB.
They have removed the limit for the video card, in which computer manufacturers have only received a maximum of DirectX 9. With Windows 7 Aero , the new interface, needed more cream in your computer, so that manufacturers now must push the graphics chips they want. And finally, it is the processor which may not exceed 2 GHz, and may not draw more than 15W.

So pruchases a Voddler invites
Voddler lets you watch streaming video with its advertising-funded services. Now the company has signed a deal with Hollywood studios and will offer a lot of really good films, but to access it you need a Voddler invite .
Voddler called for many of the film world’s answer to Spotify. If they will succeed remains to be seen, for there have been some problems in the company. But it is an interesting concept. To test the service you need, however, an invitation - a so-called Voddler invite .
So far, only 30 000 people who have received a Voddler invite. This will be about to change, and the company will launch many more that you can access via multiple channels. Are you a customer of Bredbandsbolaget, you could be sharing in the whole 500 000 Voddler-invites.

Where should you keep track, for the blog awards Voddler-invites, links will most likely be presented here.Although Knuff and interesting are two good sites to check.
Voddler invite
PCOnline will try to get the invites as soon as possible. When we do, you will be able to see them here on the site. Do you want to be first, you should get Twitter and add me - @ TKJ - for which I tip when I get invites.
Otherwise, you should keep an eye on the technology blogs that exist in Sweden.TKJ, Software, Your IT technology, blackjack, webmaster and so on. These are good sides who will probably hand out Voddler-invites as soon as they get some.
I can also recommend Featured Links. It is published every day lots of new links and when it comes up sites that have invites to Voddler to share, learn, find a link here. It is good to check these pages continuously, for invitations unlikely to be eliminated quickly.
Voddler is very hot right now. After they said that written agreements with Hollywood, the media and bloggers keep an eye on the service and write a lot about it.

Run Linux in Windows with Portable Ubuntu
Now you can run Windows and Linux on your machine simultaneously - without having to make a few reboots. Portable Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that you are running directly in Windows. To have both Windows and Linux installed on the same computer is almost common practice among sophisticated computer users. Many Linux users have a Windows installation on their machine as some games and applications simply can not run on Linux. The disadvantage of having two different systems on one machine is that it usually requires a restart to restart your computer with the other system than the one you are running at the moment. Portable Ubuntuis a Linux distribution that solves this problem for you.
The system is built around Colinux Kernel, Xming X server and Pulseaudio server for Windows. Windows sees the program as a regular application and you simply run the Linux system in a normal window in Windows. Portable Ubuntu works well on XP, Vista and the available beta versions of upcoming Windows 7.
The installation file for the program is 439 MB big, which makes it well suited to be on a USB stick. The documentation for Portable Ubuntu leaves unfortunately a lot to be desired. The questions or concerns you have about the system, you will instead try to get answered in the forum on the project website - and it screams pretty empty at this moment. If you are familiar with Linux in general and the Ubuntu distribution in particular, teaches you to have no difficulty with that use the Portable Ubuntu.
