Nokia N82, Funky Mobile For Me and You!

nokia_n82
I suppose it is only a matter of time before Nokia Mobile Phones releases the N82, given the fact that as far as technical specification goes, the N82 is almost a clone of the N95, minus the sliding mechanism.

The software (and possibly hardware) for the N82 has improved, in terms of responsiveness and speed over the 2006-2007 N series models. The screen of the N82, although not the sharpest among the N-series, serves well as a view finder and as a small display for internet surfing. The display rotates according to the orientation of the screen, but if you find this feature disruptive (say if you're lying down while typing), you can always turn the feature off.

In general, the N82's responses are faster than that of the N95, probably due to the fact that it has a simpler electronic architecture (mono-block and smaller screen). There is very little delay when you switch the camera on and off, and the capture time is very short compared to most of the N-series in the market.

The music player built into the Nokia N82 is identical to that of the N95, but due to the above advantage, the player never seem to experience any hang-ups when it's used with other applications running in the background.

The built-in GPS feature is a bit of a headache to use due to the smaller screen, and possibly even smaller GPS receiver. I've never needed the voice guidance feature for my GPS receiver before, so not having it is fine with me. To me, the GPS feature has always been more of a gimmick for Nokia to push their N-series devices to the consumer rather than benefiting them in anyway. Because unless you can run faster than Carl Lewis, the GPS locator will not display any movements on the phone screen at all so it won't be able to tell you if you're walking in the wrong direction until you've travelled a few hundred meters down the wrong way.

The built-in digital camera comes with Carl-Zeiss optics at 5 magepixel like the N95, with added Auto Focus assist lamp (a super bright red LED) and a bright Xenon flash. The photos, although do not appear to be much larger (in byte size that is) than the N95's, seems to have less heavy compression artifacts and the flash distribution seems to be well balanced for subjects and objects over 1.5 meters away.

This device is a must have (if you can get over the overly titanium-silver look of the device) for anyone who hates sliding Mobile Phones but can't live without all the crazy features that comes with the N95 and the N95-8G. The 3.5mm multifunction socket works the same way as the N95, giving you video output, audio output and headset functions as well. I'm not sure at this point just how powerful the supplied battery is, but the phone definately seems to be beating the N95 when it comes to power consumption.. the N95 loses half of it's battery charge halfway through the day, while the N82 appears to be able to stay at full bar 12 hours after its initial charging. Impressive.

Must Check this out! Blog.tv

Now I want to review about bunch of services which allow you to stream live video for free to whoever wants to watch. Yes, its maybe similar with youtube.com for share some video as free.
Me and maybe all of you have interested in these services, as i enjoy hosting live talk shows online. So far, i have success using a commercial service. And all things is i have doin at home. I had love to have accsess to a free service and maybe some cheap one of some services. Something that i thing worthy to pay.

So the webcam is up and running now and if I'm on you should see me down there in the screen below. I'm normally waiting for people to come in and chat to, of which I don't get many, so you will probably just see me there listening to music, look live show and live tv, and gazing into the screen.

Actually Blog TV allows you for :

  • Two video sources at once, with the option of the person who initiated the session to change the 2nd source at will. That means I can host the show from Washington DC and have a cohost on live if they are in Timbuktu. And then I can switch to a correspondent in Kalamazoo. That is cool. One thing that is interesting is that the viewer can control who’s video is displayed bigger, the host or the cohost. This one i call like live broadcast
  • Text chat. All viewers and hosts can text chat in real time. This allows for very fun and productive interaction.
  • Ability to webcast whenever. No need to preschedule your show
  • It is free
Come in and join up. It's free and you don't even need a webcam to join in as you can type into a chat box and participate. Though if you do have a webcam then I can make you co-host and be seen by, well, a handful of people !!
