Lenovo announced its first serious attempt to break into the consumer desktop PC market outside of China. And the result may look surprising to some: There is no cheap design here, the former IBM team actually has created a stylish PC that has all the genes to compete head-to-head with the top 3 PC vendors HP, Dell and Acer (Gateway).

Unique brands and design cues are name of the game in the PC segment these days. Dell recently brought back colors and made a first step to depart from sequence numbers for consumer PCs. Lenovo, it appears, is still trying to carve out some space for itself and the company?s new IdeaCentre K200-series offers a glimpse of its strategy.



The IdeaCentre consumer desktops (as opposed to the ThinkCentre business desktops) look a bit like a mix between traditional IBM Thinkpad and Apple design elements: Solid shapes are combined with a clean, minimalistic look that creates what we would consider one of the more stylish PCs you can buy today. We haven?t seen this PC in front of us and can?t say whether the build quality actually matches the obvious effort that went into designing these PCs.

You can get the usual range of processor, memory and hard drive configurations with prices starting around $360 (with an Intel E2180 CPU) and topping out just under $1000 (With an Intel quad-core Q6600 CPU and a Blu-ray drive), without a monitor. Lenovo will sell these PCs only through retail. Given the different configurations we are wondering how well Lenovo will be able to handle its inventory. We were not able to find any of Lenovo?s new LCDs in stock. However, if you find one, expect them to sell for $229 (19?) and $299 (22?) after a mail-in-rebate

There are a few unique features under the hood as well. The K-Series integrates facial recognition technology that allows the user to log in by having the camera recognize his/her facial image. There is also an anti-microbial keyboard that uses special material to inhibit bacterial growth. Additionally, the IdeaCentre models come with Lenovo?s Vantage Technology that enables users to recover from system crashes or virus infections with a single touch of a button.

Samsung Launches P3 Multimedia Player

Samsung has launched its widescreen portable multimedia player, P3, for the Indian market. The player was first announced at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) earlier this year.

The 0.39-inch thin P3 features a 3-inch touch screen WQVGA TFT-LCD powered by Samsung's EmoTure touch interface.


The P3 squeezes in a 16:9 widescreen video player, audio player, ultra-portable photo album, personal voice recorder, FM radio, and even a portable storage drive into one compact device.

The P3 can also be paired with a Bluetooth TM enabled phone, allowing owners to use the built-in microphone to answer calls directly through the player.

The player also features a Music Hot Touch Key, located just below the touch screen, to enable users to instantly access their favorite music features and selections without needing to cycle through multiple menus.

The P3 incorporates Samsung's updated DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement technology. The player comes with integrated speakers, along with earphones.

It allows command gesture, from swiping a finger across the screen, to switching audio tracks, to holding down a digital button for fast-forwarding video, the P3 reacts with a variety of physical sensations.

P3 is available in matte black and matte silver finishes, and is geared up to combat fingerprints and scratching, says Samsung.

The P3 is available in 8GB and 16GB storage capacities, priced at Rs.11,900 and Rs 14,900 respectively.

The entirety of civilization seems fairly well and dedicated to one-upping each other in the "green" department, and Samsung is looking to up the ante once again by stating that "blue is the new green" and putting out the new Blue Earth solar phone to prove it. Sadly, the Blue Earth isn't quite ready to go -- currently it's only to be seen in non-working mockup form, though the hardware is certainly looking good. Samsung's showing off its eco-packaging and built-in energy-saving functionality, including an "Eco Walk" function to let you know how many trees you save by walking places.

The phone itself is built from castor bean extract and recycled plastic, and Samsung claims the integrated solar panel saves up to 34.6% of the battery's energy. They're also showing off a hand-crank generator, external solar chargers, and even a solar-charged stereo headset. It's clear that Samsung isn't just playing lip service to green (or blue, as the case may be) but at this point in time this technology is likely to act more as a gimmick and promise of things to come than a truly life-changing device.

Windows XP is still available

Dell Has The Answers!

After June 30th you can continue to have Windows XP Professional preinstalled on your new system.
This option is called “Vista Downgrade Rights”. This service allows users who purchase Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate to keep using Windows XP Professional for as long as needed.

Your business may not be ready to change to Windows Vista Business just yet, so Dell provides you with a simple solution with the Vista Downgrade Rights.


Is there any way to get Windows XP after June 30th?
Customers may continue to get Windows XP Professional by exercising Downgrade Rights that come with Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate licenses. Dell has the ability to exercise “Windows Vista downgrade rights” on your behalf in the factory if your business is still reliant upon Windows XP and you’d prefer to have Windows XP Professional preinstalled on your PCs.


So, what are Windows Vista “Downgrade Rights”?
Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate have what Microsoft calls “Downgrade Rights.” Downgrade Rights means that anyone with a Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate operating system can downgrade to Windows XP Professional provided they have the media for Windows XP Professional. Customers may use one operating system at any single point in time (cannot run both operating systems simultaneously unless an additional license is purchased). For customers who decide to exercise Downgrade Rights on their own, however, please note that Dell will only support the factory-installed operating system. Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Home Premium do not have this option, as they are not capable of downgrading to Windows XP.


What does it mean for Dell to exercise “Downgrade Rights” for me? Where can I find this option?
When you are configuring your system online or through the help of one of our sales experts, you will have the opportunity to select which operating system you would like on your PC. When selecting your operating system, you will see an option called “Genuine Windows® Vista Business with Windows® XP Pro Downgrade Rights” and “Genuine Windows® Vista Ultimate with Windows® XP Pro Downgrade Rights.” With these options, you may purchase the licensed rights to Windows Vista but have Dell factory install Windows XP Professional. You will also receive a backup media disc for Windows XP Professional as well as the media for Windows Vista so you can upgrade when you’re ready. Furthermore, with these options Dell will provide technical support for the factory-installed Windows XP Professional image and your licensed version of Windows Vista.


Can I downgrade on my own?
Yes, you can as long as you have your own Windows XP Professional media (i.e. from a prior purchase). However, Dell’s standard policy is to provide technical support on the operating system that comes pre-installed on your PC. Dell does not encourage you to change your operating system on your own as this can be a complicated process.


So, if I choose to have Dell downgrade for me, does that mean I can only get technical support on Windows XP Professional since that is what will be pre-installed?
No, with this option Dell will provide technical support on both Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate (depending on which version you choose).


I don’t need Windows XP Professional, but I still want Windows XP Home Edition. Is there any way for me to get this from Dell?
No, Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP MCE both End-of-Life (EOL) on June 30, 2008 and do not have the capability to transition to Windows Vista (i.e. these licenses do not include Downgrade Rights provisions). Microsoft created that capability only with Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate. Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Home Premium are unable to downgrade to Windows XP.


What do I do when I’m ready to upgrade my computer to Windows Vista?
You will use the Windows Vista DVD provided to you to install Windows Vista on your computer. If you upgrade and then realize you’re not quite ready for Windows Vista yet, you also have the freedom to go back to Windows XP Professional using the Windows XP Professional CD provided with the downgrade service.

The systems also feature video upscaling for DVD content, along with an HDMI port for connecting HDTV sets. Digital Cinema Auto Calibration is designed to assist with proper installation, while Portable Audio Enhancer and Dialogue Enhancer are designed to enhance sound quality.

The entry-level HDX285 model also upscales DVD video signals and provides an HDMI port. An iPod cradle, Digital Media Port and DMPort Booster are built into the system. Depending on whether the user is listening to music or movies, the type of content is automatically detected and the audio optimized with the appropriate processing.

Two new portable DVD players include the DVP-FX730 and DVP-FX930.

Samsung SPH-W6450 OZ Double Phone:

It is 3G-Network Compatible double-flip phone. The phone’s top half can also open sidways as well as straight up with the screen facing the user, much like a notebook PC. The LCD screen is sized at 2.8 inches, features a 240×400 resolution and has a virtual touchpad for use in notebook mode that takes the place of a mouse. Another common high-end feature of Korean phones includes the DMB tuner that lets users watch streaming video content from eight broadcasters as well as audio content from nine sources.

In addition, there is a 3-megapixel camera that swivels with the screen, allowing for video calls in either configuration, MP3 playback capability and Bluetooth 2.0 support. A full web browser is built-in, as is a file viewer and electronic dictionary: another feature ubiquitous to Korean phones. The SPH-W6450 is so far only available in Korea, priced at the equivalent of about $400. If the handset or a variation of it ever comes to North America, it will not include a DMB tuner
