HTC Legend has problem with grayscale display Tweet

Copies of the Android smartphone HTC Legend have problems displaying grayscale on the screen. Therefore looks like gray-green, brown or pink, says Tweakers.net screen test.

It is unclear whether the problem lies at the AMOLED screen or the white balance adjustment. The problem with the gray screen came up during testing, which Tweakers.net performed with the equipment of Spectracal Calman. These measures include what the screen with ascending grayscale display.

Users get a Legend, according to the measurement results as a gray mixture of black and white look, but as a mixture of black and white and another color. This may look like pink gray, brown or green. Tweakers.net Legends had two available and suggested a difference in color between the two sets down. The differing shades of gray can be particularly irritating when viewing websites and playback of video content. The AMOLED screen is good at displaying black, it was so black that the equipment does not registered.

The Legend, according to the results a maximum brightness of 253cd/m2, not enough screen to read in bright conditions, such as outdoors in sunlight. The Hero is doing better in that regard, that a brightness of 310cd/m2 display. Under dark conditions has a screen 120-140cd/m2 enough.

Legend has simultaneously announced as the HTC Desire an AMOLED screen. It seems that Desire has the same problem with the screen, users complain it has longer pink colors on the screen. The screen tests are done because of a smartphone that review will be published Wednesday.

iPad Camera Connection Kit review Tweet

Mobile-review have posted their review of the iPad Camera Connection Kit. Here is their final impression.

After all Camera Connection Kit can be a good purchase for those who travel a lot and take minimum things with them every time trying to leave more free space in their bags. The first obvious advantage of iPad+CCK suit is that you do not need to take with you ponderous notebook which is often used as a temporary storage for raw material. The “tablet” will play its part. It will also help to solve some simple work tasks that require receiving emails and writing replies, internet-surfing, some documents editing and so on. Secondly the process of file copying and transferring takes little time. It took me about two minutes to export 1 GB consisting of one 700 MB video and about 100 photos. In other words you can clean your card fast and simple, even when it is vital to shoot photos continuously. And thirdly, both adapters can fit into any, even very small pocket.

I almost forgot that iPad + CCK pack is not a solution for professional photographers who any way prefers to fill up their bags with working tools. That is to say not for those who patiently use 18’’ screen notebooks, not for happy owners of image banks, that keep all the material accumulated during work process and drained by their owners at the end of the process. In the end such a suit is not for those who love to delve in crude RAW files. iPad together with CCK is more likely a solution for amateur photographers like me. For those people who get up early during vacation in order to take packed lunch, get in the bus, and only on the road to another site seeing tour they realise that two- or four- GB card in their loyal Lumix is full of very important material.

The price in US Apple store starts and ends at $29 plus traditional tax. Russian underground channels sell such a simple kit for the sum that is at best equal to 5000 rubles what makes about $170. The conclusion is forced upon you: the kit is worth having but you should buy it abroad.

China Sourcing Fair: Electronics opens today in Shanghai, projecting substantial growth in 2011 Tweet

Renowned show returns to Shanghai featuring more than 460 booths of latest consumer electronics, computer, in-car, security, telecom and GPS products.

SHANGHAI -- Global Sources' (Nasdaq: GSOL) China Sourcing Fair: Electronics returns to Shanghai, one of China's most vibrant sourcing hubs, after its 2003 debut in the city. The Fair opens today and runs through June 4 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, with more than 460 booths featuring the latest electronic products from Greater China suppliers. The popular Fair is expected to grow substantially in 2011.

Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources Exhibitions, said: "As many local China buying companies have offices strategically located in Shanghai, holding the Fair in this major sourcing hub is a perfect choice. China's domestic market has tremendous potential, with incomes and living standards rising continually, making Shanghai the ideal location for domestic buyers to source efficiently for resale throughout the country.

"According to the China Retail Report, the country's retail sales are expected to soar 79 percent to reach US$3.58 trillion by 2014. China's market for consumer electronics, in particular, is forecast to expand 55.8 percent to a value of over US$200 billion by that year."

Wong added: "Similarly, Shanghai is also an ideal location for international buyers to source effectively from quality China suppliers. As effects of the economic crisis disperse and global demand gains strength, China suppliers are eager to quickly obtain overseas orders to capture market share."

Volume buyers and special programs at the show

Thousands of local and international buyers have pre-registered to attend China Sourcing Fair: Electronics in Shanghai. Among the big names are China Telecom, Haier, Lenovo, Suning Appliance, Hisense, ZTE, Konka, Auchan, Best Buy, Carrefour, Panasonic, Tyco Electronics, RadioShack, Samsung, Tesco, Toshiba, Chubb, Office Depot, LG Electronics and Li & Fung.

innovative products from verified suppliers unable to attend the show.
This allows buyers to send direct inquiries on the spot -- greatly
extending their sourcing reach.
-- Global Sources Show Guide Magazines. Distributed to buyers on-site, the
magazine features the exhibitor list and floor map. It also contains a
CD-ROM with copies of all Global Sources eMagazines. This one-of-a-kind
initiative puts in buyers' hands information on hundreds of additional
verified suppliers and their products, boosting the productivity of
their show visit.

exhibitors to meet face-to-face with some of the world's top buyers at
the show. Buyers scheduled to participate include A.R.E.N.A.,

US Business Demands More Tax Breaks for Green Investment Tweet

DALLAS -- A new global survey by workspace solutions provider Regus has found that 63% of US companies have declared that government tax breaks are required to accelerate adoption of green investments.

The Regus survey revealed that only 37% of companies worldwide actually measure their emissions and less than one-fifth of companies (19%) measure the carbon footprint left by their activities. 46% of companies globally declare that they will only invest in low-carbon equipment if the running costs are the same or lower than those of conventional equipment. A disappointing 40% have invested in low-carbon equipment and only 38% have a company policy to do so.

In the US specifically, the survey found that only 13% of companies monitor their carbon footprint and less than one-third (27%) monitor their energy consumption. In addition to this, 76% had no company policy to invest in energy efficient equipment. Running costs were found to be very important to more than one-third of companies (37%) who declared that they would only invest in low-carbon equipment if it were cheaper or the same to run as conventional equipment. Finally, 63% of companies declared that if government offered tax incentives to invest in energy efficient or low-carbon equipment businesses would significantly accelerate their green investments.

Small companies throughout the globe are below average on their actual level of green investment, indicating that smaller businesses are harder pressed to select low-carbon equipment when this comes at marginally higher price, as short-term needs are more urgent than long-term investment. In the US only 9% of small businesses (19% globally) monitor their carbon footprint compared to 31% of large businesses. 56% of large corporations have actually invested in low carbon equipment compared with less than one-quarter of SMEs (22%). Although no targets have been set at federal level,[1] 19 states have set energy efficiency improvement targets and 29 states for increased renewable energy usage.[2]

These ambitious targets are evidently not taking into account the reality of green equipment adoption among smaller businesses.

The survey also analyzed sector differences and found that media and marketing, with only 10% of companies monitoring their carbon foot print, was the least green sector. Manufacturing and banking, with 9% of companies monitoring their carbon emissions, fared little better. In all sectors, apart from retail, less than one-quarter of companies have a policy to invest in green equipment. In the retail sector, companies with a green equipment policy are only 31%. In the IT sector, 42% of companies have invested in green technology, a bigger proportion than all other sectors, although only 20% had a policy to do so.

Sande Golgart, West Region Vice President, Regus U.S., comments:

"Adoption of green equipment and monitoring initiatives is still disappointingly low, particularly for smaller companies. Yet small and medium-sized companies account for half any country's business makeup If the government intends to follow up the results achieved by stimulus spending on clean energy which has created or saved 52,000 jobs by September 2009[1] and is serious about meeting ambitious carbon emission reduction targets by mid-century, then it needs to properly incentivize the change. At the moment, low-carbon business technology is often limited in range and sold at premium pricing. This is proving to be an obstacle for businesses looking to invest. Tax breaks will help enormously, as our survey shows, and by accelerating implementation, will also help to create a mass market where unit prices fall."

"Environmental investments are not limited to technology alone, but need to be applicable to all effective and measurable environmental initiatives, such as the minimization of premises under-occupancy. Conservative estimates hold that 38% of office space is unoccupied at any given time[2], yet that space is still being heated, cooled and lit, generating tons of unnecessary carbon emissions each year. Reducing office under-occupancy should therefore be just as eligible for tax breaks as low-energy equipment."

Most Reliable Wireless Network Just Got Better For Customers In Northern Michigan Tweet

$750,000 Integration of Verizon Wireless’ and Alltel’s Networks Delivers Stronger Coverage in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Kalkaska and Grand Traverse Counties.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI — Verizon Wireless announced it has completed a $750,000 integration of its network with that of Alltel across much of northern Michigan, including Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Kalkaska and Grand Traverse counties, to provide customers with clearer reception, fewer dropped calls and more coverage, including stronger in-building coverage.

Verizon Wireless’ voice network and high-speed 3G data network (that lets customers rely on their phones for just about everything other than making calls) combined with that of Alltel creates the largest wireless network footprint in the United States. The integration enables more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive e-mail and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones.

“The addition of Alltel’s network to the Verizon Wireless network provides our customers with unmatched coverage across northern Michigan,” said Greg Haller, president – Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless. “Our high-speed 3G broadband wireless network is the largest and most reliable in the United States, and network reliability is the No. 1 reason customers choose and stay with Verizon Wireless. We are committed to continuing to perfect our network so that our customers in Michigan know they can depend on us every time they use their wireless devices.”

Verizon Wireless has been preparing to integrate Alltel’s network since completing its purchase of the company more than a year ago. Alltel’s 3G data network has been upgraded to the latest revision of wireless broadband technology to enable faster delivery of data services, including e-mail and browsing the Internet.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $59 billion since it was formed – $5.7 billion on average every year – to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. Since the company was formed in 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.4 billion on improvements to its wireless network in Michigan.
