Currently there are three mobile operators in Saudi Arabia.STC (Saudi Telecom Company), that was incorporated in 1998, which is government owned and biggest Telecom company, Mobily (Etihad Etisalat) that was established in 2004 by a consortium led by Etisalat, the UAE based telecom conglomerate and Zain that is the newest player in the mobile telecommunication market of Saudi Arabia. Building on the expertise of the Zain Group of UAE.

All these 3 providing Voice services, SMS and MMS services, Latest data services like 3G and 3.5G services in their own style. I personally rate STC best, because they have the most wide network with less Network problems. Rest 2 Mobily and Zain are quite fine with their performance.

HTC Desire Smartphone is launched in Saudi Arabian Market

The Android 2.1 Powered Smartphone from HTC has been launched in Saudi Arabian Market yesterday after long wait. It is an amazing charming device which carries all the latest features of Android Operating system. I have already covered a review on HTC Desire in one of my previous posts and also I drawn a comparison on HTC HD2 and HTC Desire smartphones. Nasa Smart Devices is first retailer who have released it.

The device is currently available in 3290 SR which is about 878 US $. This price is very close to other Windows Mobile device from HTC HD2. If we take a look at the specification we'll find both devices very similar, The main difference is OS.

There has been a lot of demand of this device in Saudi Arabia, It is expected to be available at Nasa Shops very soon.

How to make your Nokia phone a wireless access point

In HTC smartphones HTC HD2 was probabally first Smartphone that works as a Wireless access point. Using your 3G connection it enabales you to use Internet on your laptop or desktop PC. HTC HD2 is an expensive phone. To get this facility not everyone can buy HD2. Now it is possible for Nokia S60 (Symbian OS) phones users to turn their Nokia phones into a Wireless access point. It is only possible for Nokia phones that have Wi-Fi hardware buil-in on their motherboards.

Internet connection sharing from GSM/3G/Edge was possible already on many Nokia phones via Bluetooth connections and USB cable connections. But Wireless Tethering really makes a difference.

Just install JoikuSpot Light FREE Hotspot on your Nokia S60 handset. This application is available free and has some limitiations too. It shares your phone's 3G internet connection over WiFi (WLAN) to a single laptop or other WiFi device. The Light version supports basic internet browsing only. However Premium version that  comes in about 7.5 US $ has following additional features.

HTC HD2 - Is it the Best Smartphone ever

For many years Windows Mobile users have been disappointed every time a new handset was announced because this or that feature was missing. Not long ago it was screen resolutions, people wanted VGA screens, before that it was Wi-Fi or GPS, 3D acceleration or camera flashes etc. This year HTC finally announced what everybody’s been wishing and waiting for. A Windows Mobile Smartphone that has every single feature imaginable (besides a QWERTY keyboard), the HTC HD2. Will this device be enough for the power user?
 

The Hardware

First we are going to look at what we’ve got here. With its 4.3inch WVGA display the HTC HD2 has the biggest capacitive touch screen on a phone ever and is the first capacitive Windows Mobile device. Made popular by the iPhone (followed by Android devices) capacitive touch panels enable multi-touch/point input unlike commonly used resistive touch-panels and a smoother finger interaction thanks to the glass screen. Another advantage of this technology is that there is no air gap between the touch-panel and the LCD display so optical clarity and contrast is improved reducing the need for heavy backlighting making power draw lower. Unfortunately traditional stylus (or any other conventional object, finger nail) can no longer be used.

Other than that, the huge screen is the first thing that will feast your eyes when you see the HD2, and the device’s second most important component is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset (QSD8250) which is composed of a 1ghz CPU and 600Mhz DSP. The CPU is a derivative of the ARMv9 Cortex8 architecture and includes an AMD Z430 GPU featuring a unified pixel & vertex shader pipeline (based on the Xbox 360 Xenos GPU) and is OpenGL-ES 2.0 compatible. To make it simple, it’s the fastest mobile SoC out now (nVidia’s Tegra APX is close but the ARM11 CPU currently used is holding it back). Besides those two important features the HD2 packs a 5Mpix camera with autofocus, dual LED flash, 448Mb of Ram, 512Mb of Rom, Micros USB port, 3.5mm jack; FM radio, aGPS, Digital Compass , and a lot more.

Pakistan or Pornistan? What's the truth

I have a great appreciation for the guy who has revealed the true facts by simply looking at the issue published by fox news and making some research himself to find the truth. Rest of Pakistani media is a lazy sleeping media who even can't do a small research to figure out the truth (I have seen fox news story copy/paste by an Urdu Newspaper, they even didn't give it a minute to find the true facts) Instead they make Sania-Shoaib wedding their lead story. It should be our (Bloggers) duty to start trends for positive and truthful reporting. A big hand for Koolmuzone.com guy.

The following is An Article by: Guitar_freaK at Koolmuzone.com

Today Fox News published a report on Pakistan and refereed to it as Pornistan claiming that it is “No. 1 Nation in Sexy Web Searches”. Whatever keywords Fox News has mentioned are factual and not made-up. I don’t deny the fact that Pakistan ranks 1st on these keywords. I also don’t deny the fact that porn is popular in Pakistan. However, I deny that Pakistan is “No. 1 Nation in Sexy Web Searches” as claimed by Fox News.

Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for “horse sex” since 2004, “donkey sex” since 2007, “rape pictures” between 2004 and 2009, “rape sex” since 2004, “child sex” between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, “animal sex” since 2004 and “dog sex” since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms.

It’s funny how the mentioned keywords are few of the least popular keywords when it comes to pornography. Below is the image of comparison of these keywords along with other major keywords related to pornography like “sex”, “porn”, “big tits”

If you have a look at the image, the search volume for keyword “sex” is FAAAR more than other keywords. Keyword “Porn” has the 2nd highest search volume. Followed by “big tits” and then there is this little search volume for “rape sex” and “horse sex” which you might spot with a magnifying glass.

All new Digg is just about to arrive - Digg V4 Alpha

Digg.com has introduced new Digg V4 alpha. Digg team is inviting a few group of users, publishers and advertisers to new version of Digg. There are about 20,000 invitations send by Digg.

However still they have found troubles in Digg alpha. I have just started using it yesterday and it looks like not a lot of people are using it. Next to it I searched it in the google and I didn't find good result on that. Here I am quoting what Digg team is saying...

As we set out to redesign Digg, our first priority has been to improve the user experience by focusing on 3 areas: Speed, Personalization, Diversity of Content.

Speed:All product features, from submitting a story, to digging to commenting, are now done under a second. We hope this makes using the new Digg a pleasant experience.

Personalization:"My News" is the custom news page we build for you based on the people and/or sources of news you follow. Only stories that have been dugg or submitted by these sources will show up in My News. You can make My News relevant to you by choosing to follow people and sources that you consider tastemakers for your particular interests.

Diversity of Content:In addition to user submitted stories, we now feature stories submitted via RSS by large and small publishers. You can also add any RSS feed yourself. We want to make sure that if an important news story develops from any source, you get to read it on Digg

In addition to these enhancements, we have kept the familiar top stories home page showing you the most popular stories on Digg, as dugg by all users - this feature is now referred to as Top News.

Additional information for Publishers is here and for Advertisers is here.

That's it for now, we hope you enjoy this new version. We plan to iterate continuously so if you have any feedback or questions we'd love to hear them. You can use the links at the bottom of any page to submit your input.
