In addition to adding Windows Mobile 6.1, the 800w includes a higher resolution screen, EVDO rev, a GPS receiver and WiFi radio!<br />
<span id="more-9"></span><br />
The Treo 800w also ships with EV-DO Rev. A support out of the box so you get all the newest and biggest in wireless connectivity. The Palm Treo 800w Sprint comes with the gadget itself, travel charger, wired stereo headset, micro-USB cable, stylus, lithium battery, CD with ActiveSync, User Guide and several printed materials.</p>
<p>The Palm Treo 800w is the first Treo device with GPS and WiFi.</p>
<p><strong>Specifications of the Treo 800w:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional</li>
<li>Qualcomm MSM6800A chipset supporting EvDO Rev A and mobile receive diversity. A CDMA network support</li>
<li>128MB RAM and 256MB flash ROM (about 170MB available to the user)</li>
<li>It OMAP 2430 333 MHz processor</li>
<li>110MB internal dynamic memory</li>
<li>320&#215;320 pixel color TFT touchscreen, supports 16-bit color (65K colors)</li>
<li>Integrated 802.11 b/g WiFi radio</li>
<li>Integrated Bluetooth 2.0 radio with A2DP</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/images/iphone-3g.jpg" alt="iPhone 3G" width="300" height="149" />Building the Apple <strong>iPhone</strong> more enterprise friendly was a big dare for a gadget that deals mostly on the basis that it is an iPod nano with a smart phone inserted onto it.<span id="more-7"></span>That doesn’t necessarily make for a winning combination for the enterprise. However, Apple company has taken important acts in changes and advancing the Apple iPhone device to not only appeal to a wider user audience, but also to make it more related for business customers, at the same period referring the concerns of many IT managers about the secure integration preferences between an <strong>iPhone</strong> and the business back-end.</p>
<p>The <strong>iPhone 3G</strong> is a great renovation of the first iPhone rather than a fresh product created from scratch. Original iPhone was a sound bit of engineering and worked properly. What it lacked was functionality very than requiring any major flaws in its model and operation adapted.</p>
<p>Apple has set about improving and widening the abilities of the iPhone. There are two models of iPhone, one with 8 GB of storage, the other iPhone with 16 GB. A new build of the iPhone firmware is iPhone Is 2.0, is installed on the Apple <strong>iPhone 3G</strong> as well as being ready for use to existing 2G gadgets.</p>
<p>The greatest hardware difference is the inclusion of Tri-band 3G, with both UMTS and HSDPA services, the latter delivering a important improvement in download speeds for webpages and other media.</p>
<p>The 3G models still have the 2-megapixel photo camera, and there is still no flash, mirror or auto-focus.</p>
<p>Except for hardware-specific characteristics like 3G support and a GPS receiver for navigation software like the Google Maps app pre-installed on all iPhones, the 2G and 3G gadgets are functionally identical.</p>
<p>The back of the <strong>iPhone 3G</strong> is plastic curved back in place of the grey metal case used on the original. This partly decreases the weight but has mainly been done to reduce cost , to fit the bigger accumulator fitted in the 3G unit and to ably help enhance reception. The switch to 3G have enlarged the power spending of the iPhone, so a partly bigger accumulator is required in order to offset the impact.</p>
<p>In the software, the business features are a welcome addition, with support for ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange push email which allows for synchronization of calendar entries and global address lists.</p>
<p>One minor thing has been made, the headphone socket is no longer recessed, enabling to user to use the wired headset or headphones of user&#8217;s choice, rather than using only Apple’s own headphones or having to use an adapter to entry the 3.5 mm socket with normal headphone jacks that won’t fit into the recess.</p>
<p>The handset of iPhone now supports Cisco IPsec VPN protocols with two-factor token authentication, as well as traditional certificate authentication or password.</p>
<p>The core software on the Apple iPhone has not really changed, but very has experienced a series of tweaks to allow more effective processing of data.<br />There is a clear improvement in call quality on the 3G gadget, whether the phone is on a 2G or 3G network, suggesting that some work has been done to improve the audio handling.</p>
<p>The standard software program set is no longer a limitation for customers wanting to do more or do custom jobs without resorting to unauthorized software program hacks, thanks to Apple company opening up the iPhone to create third party software development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="vertical-align: top;" src="http://www.nokia.com/NOKIA_COM_1/About_Nokia/Research/Demos/Morph/img/morph_wrist_mode.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="323" /><br />
Gadgets based on the Morph concept is a connection between most progressive technologies and their potential benefits to user. This device idea showcases some new jumps being investigated by Nokia company in collaboration with the Cambridge Centre of Nanoscience – technologies that will potentially produce a world of radically different gadgets that open up an absolutely new range of possibilities.</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span>Morph concept technologies might create wonderful opportunities for mobile phones and other digital devices:</p>
<ul>
<li>The flexible and transparent materials mix more seamlessly with the way we live.</li>
<li>Gadgets become self &#8211; cleaning and self &#8211; preserving.</li>
<li>Transparent electronic components present a completely new elegant dimension.</li>
<li>Built-in solar absorption can charge a gadget, whilst accumulators become faster to charge and smaller.</li>
<li>Integrated detectors might allow us to learn about the environment around user, and enabling to make better choices.</li>
<li>The integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept include more functionality in a much smaller space.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Flexibility &amp; Dynamic Design</strong></p>
<p>Nanotechnology allows components and materials be transparent, stretchable and flexible. Fibril proteins are woven into a 3D mesh that reinforces thin elastic constructions. Using the same rules behind silk, this elasticity allows the gadget to change forms and shapes.</p>
<p>A folded design would fit freely in a bag and could lend itself ergonomically. An unfolded larger design could display more data, and include input devices such as touch screen or keyboards.</p>
<p><strong>Sensing The Environment conditions</strong></p>
<p>Nanosensors would enable users to investigate the environment conditions around them in totally new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to achievement insight into biochemical processes and traces. New abilities might be as complex as helping to people check conditions in the quality of our environment, or as easy as knowing if the edible growth of plants we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Power Sources</strong></p>
<p>Nanotechnology includes out the possibility that the surface of a gadget will become a natural source such as solar power.</p>
