Dell Aero smartphone hits the US market but unlikely to be a hit

Posted by Filed Under technology news with No Comments

latest smartphone

Dell, which earlier launched Streak, a 5-inch Android-based tablet, teamed up with the nation’s No.2 wireless carrier AT&T to launch its new smartphone Aero earlier this week.

The Aero boasts of impressive specifications – it has a 3.5-inch capacitive multi-touch display (with 640×360 pixel resolution), a 5-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and LED flash, full HTML browser, virtual Qwerty keyboard, email support, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, and a microSD card slot that allows you to bump up the memory to 32GB (the Aero ships with 2GB card to help you get started).

The device ships with a capacitive stylus and comes preloaded with a nifty tool – Microsoft’s QuickOffice – that allows editing and management of documents on the go.

Dell has also tweaked the user interface to include social networking integration features and handwriting recognition.

To top it all, the Aero is one of the lightest and slimmest Android-based smartphones around – it weighs only 3.67 oz. and measures 46″x4.8″x 2.28″.

However, Dell Aero disappoints on a few counts:

Outdated OS:  The biggest letdown is that the Aero runs on the outdated Android 1.5 (Cupcake) OS. Compared to the latest Android 2.2 (Froyo), Android 1.5 is generations behind in terms of features and capability.

Moreover, as Aero features an outdated software, many applications from the Android Market will not be able to run on the device. Some Android features, such as Google’s new Voice Actions voice-command system will also not function on anything less than Android 2.2. In other words, running the Aero on Android 1.5 is like running a new laptop with Windows 98 and until Dell does something to upgrade it to at least Android 2.0, you’re stuck with very limited choices and options.

However, it is unlikely that Dell will be offering a software upgrade soon as it has heavily customized the user interface on the Aero by adding bells and whistles such as a handwriting recognition utility and a “Flash Lite-enhanced” version of the Android browser.

Weak processor:  Aero also appears underpowered as it features 624MHz processor at a time when the latest smartphones, including iPhone 4 and Motorola Droid X feature 1GHz processor and some smartphone makers even boast of launching handsets with 1.2GHz processor.

Not surprisingly, the device doesn’t respond fast enough when you tap or swipe on the touchscreen.

Low resolution display:  Aero’s 3.5-inch display has a resolution of 640×360 pixels and supports 262K colors. In comparison, iPhone 4, which also has a 3.5-inch display boasts of 960×640 pixels resolution. And, Droid X from Motorola has a 4.3-inch display with 480×854 pixels resolution. And, both the devices boast of supporting 16 million colors.

In other words, if you try viewing high resolution images and videos on the Aero, you are likely to encounter distortion or pixilation.

Uninspiring camera:  The Aero has a 5-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and LED flash but it cannot record HD video, unlike the iPhone 4 or Droid X. The Aero also does not feature any secondary camera for video calls.

AT&T network:  People are also wondering why Dell chose AT&T, known for its spotty network, over other wireless carriers.

Of course, selling the Aero is a plus for AT&T, which is trying to wean away from the iPhone before the exclusivity agreement with Apple Inc. runs out in 2011.

But AT&T has suffered data outages in the past and in spite of spending billions of dollars on improving its network, its subscribers still complain of weak receptions and slow data speed.

Dell Aero comes in a snazzy graphite color and is available from www.Dell.com for a full price of 9.99. If that’s too expensive for you, you can sign on the dotted lines of a 2-year contract with AT&T and the device is yours for .99.

But if you ask me, I’d rather pay 0 more and get myself an iPhone 4 or Droid X or BlackBerry Torch 9800.

But then again, Dell isn’t trying to compete with Apple Inc., Motorola or Research In Motion (RIM).

“With Dell’s established relationships to small businesses through its laptop and PC business, the Dell brand, and Android’s consumer appeal, this device may help AT&T capture new customers in [the] underserved [small and medium business] segment,” ABI Research analyst Michael Morgan said in an August 25 research note.

Customers who’ll be interested in Aero, Morgan continued, are those “who want a capable smartphone without the high price of an iPhone or the additional enterprise fees of a BlackBerry device.”

In other words, Dell is not targeting fans of iPhones, BlackBerrys or Droids. Dell knows that it’s a newbie in the smartphone market and, hence, it has positioned the Aero as an entry-level smartphone that offers most, if not all the functionalities of a high-end smartphone, but comes with a lower price tag.

According to some reports, Dell has also intentionally launched the Aero with plain vanilla Android 1.5 because it plans to equip its next smartphone Dell Thunder with Android 2.1, if not Android 2.2. According to market rumors, Dell Thunder boasts of 4.1-inch display (with at least 800×480 pixels resolution), 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p (HD quality) video-capture capabilities. The device is expected to launch later this year.

Most importantly, the launch of Aero marks a new chapter in Dell’s history as it is the first smartphone from the PC maker to launch in the US. Last year, Dell’s smartphone foray in the US market was rebuffed by US carriers, forcing it to sell Mini 3 smartphone in China and Brazil.

According to industry tracker iSuppli, the smartphone market is expected to grow by 36 percent to 247 million units in 2010 from 182 million in 2009. If that’s true, Dell’s arrival in the smartphone market couldn’t have been better timed.

Planting Celebrity Gossip

Posted by Filed Under celebs news with No Comments

Celebrity gossip is not always something that yellow journalist hunt out. There are times when the celeb gossip updates are provided to the entertainment sites by the celebrities themselves. There is an increased tendency among attention-stared celebrities to take center-stage by getting hold of the limelight and placing it firmly upon themselves. Planting updates to the sources tapped by the paparazzi is a practice that is not entirely new, but that is definitely getting redefined. Celebrities know that they can be in the news for only a designated period of time and that time span is very short. They have to make a continued, sustained effect to keep themselves in the news.

Planting celebrity gossip stories in newspapers and tabloids happened in the days of yore as well. You had jealous celebrities blowing the lid off scandals by calling celeb gossip publications. The motive for this was entirely professional jealousy or just rage at being dumped, rejected or slighted. All that changed with the coming of modern entertainment news. Because these portals are extremely popular with the masses, celebrities feel the need to reach out and connect with them. It’s obvious that they cannot do that overtly. The only way they can do that is by planting stories about themselves.

An example here would illustrate the point better. Take for example the Kardashian family. They have been talking about their bruised relationships with their significant others. There was Kourtney Kardashian hinting that her relationship with beau Scott Disick was anything but normal. Her sister Khloe spoke in favor of her in celebrity gossip magazines. Their mother Kris Jenner lambasted Scott in another celeb gossip portal. Just when you thought that there was some truth in this and the relationships of the Kardashian sisters were actually fractured, you have all of them coming out, trashing every report and exhorting us not to trust entertainment news portals. It was like a bolt from the blue that scorched the tender faith that gossip lovers in these publications.

Here, the celebrity gossip reporters have an important role to play. They need to check facts before giving them up for press. Celeb gossip lovers love their news served with a bit of a tang. That is true. But they also like to know that they are reading entertainment news which has some degree of credibility. With modern technology, especially the internet, they can verify in seconds if a particular news item is a scoop or a figment of the imagination. They can also cross-check facts and data with other websites and publications. Thanks to the archives that you have online you can check out the back-stories of any new update that comes your way. This is a great way to check if a celebrity is planting a story for publicity.

Celebrities these days are convinced that any publicity is good publicity. They couldn’t care less if the celebrity gossip columns speak about their personal affairs indiscriminately. They are only interested in celeb gossip sites when they talk and write about them. Plants or not, these celebs surely know how to grab columns in the entertainment news sections!

Celebrity Gossip Effect On Celeb Kids

Posted by Filed Under celebs news with No Comments

celebs gossip

Celebrity gossip sites have a wave of enthusiastic readers all over the world. They have dedicated readers who check up on updates, no matter what the constraints are. What we do not really notice sometimes is what effect do celeb gossip sites have on the kids of these celebrities? It must surely be taxing to have tons of entertainment news sections talking about their parents. The situation is really difficult for kids whose parents have broken up. They must be feeling a mind-numbing experience of all that is written about people who are close to them. Being of an impressionable mind and age, kids are more likely to believe whatever they read.

Celeb kids don’t always know that many celebrity gossip sites publishes half-baked stories to meet certain deadlines and sometimes, just because they do not have anything better to report. This trend among celeb gossip writers is the most damaging. This is detrimental to the credibility of the celeb gossip sites. The kids of the celebrities they tear apart in their entertainment news sections are the ones who bear the brunt. It is really sad that kids have to read a lot of drivel about their parents, the hook-ups and linkages that these writers cook up where they are non-existent. It is not a very enviable situation to be in.

The celeb kids themselves are not out of harm’s reach. They have the paparazzi glaring down their throats each time they make a move out. They can’t hang around with their friends or head for the video-game parlor. They miss out on a normal childhood because they happen to be celeb kids. They have celebrity gossip reporters hounding them for a snap as they go about their lives like any other kid would like to. They are denied the full freedom that childhood brings with it. They may be growing up in the lap of luxury but they are missing out on a lot, things which money can’t buy.

Celeb kids have been known to have problems in schools because of what is being written about their parents on celebrity gossip magazines. A recent example would be the presence of the paparazzi in front of the school where Tiger Woods’ daughter studies. The posse of reporters positioned at the gate of the school was waiting for Tiger or his wife Elin to show up. It was a crisis situation for the entertainment news sections because both of them were not making a public appearance. A snap of either would cost millions. In the rush of economics and profit, they laid siege to a school, making things inconvenient for the kids as well as for guardians.

This is one aspect that we must all look at with some consideration. It is okay to look for updates and you can’t really expect people to forego their habit of reading entertainment news columns. But maybe we need to be responsible when it comes to talking about celebrities who have kids. After all, they are not part of this celebrity circus!

Celebrity Gossip On Twitter

Posted by Filed Under celebs news with No Comments

celebs gossip

Twitter is the biggest buzz on the internet now. What started off as thought and knowledge sharing in 140 characters has now become the birthplace for many celebrity gossip stories. The greatest advantage of sourcing celeb gossip stories from Twitter is that the germs of the stories lie in posts made by the celebrities. Some celebrities are tactful and careful about what they post. Most are not. They put up something which offends someone and then you have the entertainment news sector spilling over with interpretations and analyses. It gets on to such a point sometimes that the celebrity has no other option but to come out with a rebuttal to douse what has been ignited.

Twitter is fast. Celebrities use that advantage. Celebrity gossip sites monitor the Twitter pages of celebrities round the clock, scourging for updates and developments. Some celebs like to post anything and everything on Twitter, which comes off as extremely silly sometimes. Celeb gossip magazines and publications follow the thread posted on rare occasions and ignore the posts on others. Entertainment news reporters generally “follow” the celebs of their interests so that their tweets are visible on their page as well. Twitter has made it possible for the paparazzi to locate a celeb without having to run around the town looking for authentic information.

Twitter is interactive. If you have followed a particular celebrity gossip story with some interest and you know the details painfully well, you can share your information with other “followers” on Twitter. In exchange of your information, you may come across further updates from the tweets made by like-minded enthusiasts. Celeb gossip, like wildfire, needs fodder to feed on and expand. The “tweeple” or the people on Twitter make it possible. They pass on information to others through re-tweets. They contact entertainment sites when they have sufficient information to go out and declare something substantial. The paparazzi keep a sharp eye on the tweet pages of the celebrities to check what the fans are writing about and if there is an interest in a particular story.

Twitter isn’t only about those 140-character tweets. It’s also about pictures. Twitpic allows you to share you photos with thousands of followers. The paparazzi need not look further to find the latest holidays snaps of the celebrities. If the celebrity likes the private photos to go up on the celebrity gossip publications, he or she can just upload them on Twitpic. In a matter of hours you will find celeb gossip reporters taking out digital copies of those pictures and streaming them to other sources. Entertainment sites used to go through a lot of hassle to get that one exclusive snap or the first look of an upcoming movie. Now they are readily available on Twitpic. Celebrities use Twitter for damage control on certain occasions. If the celebrity gossip has spiraled out of control and hurting the image of the celeb, he or she may post a clarification on Twitter. Celebs tweet to make their voice heard and also to connect with numerous fans out there.
