SafeMode 3 for Windows Mobile

There are many times things can go wrong if you install an application that is not made to work on your device. Safe Mode 3 comes to rescue!

Features:

  • Windows Mobile 5 / 6.x support
  • Pre-boot startup: only known Windows Mobile system applications are started before SafeMode
  • Replaced “Start” menu with custom SafeMode utilities menu
  • SafeDirect: enter / exit SafeMode directly, without an additional soft reset
  • Smaller memory footprint (90 KB)

It is priced at $9.95 (ouch!). But, if it can help you protect your data and can rescue your device, then it may be a bad deal at all!

ASUS EEE 1000H vs S101 comparison

A lot of people in the 10″ netbook market are confused between ASUS EEE 1000H and S101 netbooks. They’ve quite similar specifications, but still the S101 beats the 1000H in terms of price by (huge) $200. What makes the S101 costs $200 more than the 1000H? Folks at laptops-tech.com were able to get their hands-on both of the units at the same time.

Here are few highlights of the article:

  • Upgradability: EEE 1000H wins the battle. SSD is not upgradable in S101. Only RAM and wifi card is upgradeable
  • Performance: SSD in the S101 is quicker than the HDD in EEE 1000H. Booting is faster in S101 than the already pretty quick booting of the 1000H (nearly 26s)
  • Storage space: 1000H comes with 160GB HDD. S101 comes with 16GB SSD. If you hate moving parts, then you’ve no choice but S101. Otherwise, if you store a lot of data, movies etc, then EEE 1000H is the way to go
  • S101 is much slimmer and lighter than EEE 1000H
  • Both have almost same battery life

Youtube and Flash working inside Opera Mobile

Yes! This is not a mirage. It is reality. Thanks to great folks at xda-devs, who have impressive knowledge about finding ways to get things working. A day before yesterday, we reviewed Skyfire, which has the ability to run a youtube and flash content inside the browser window itself.

The upcoming build (2808) of Opera Mobile will let you do exactly that! The download instructions are provided at the end of this post. Also, instructions of how to install and get the stuff working are provided at the end of this post.

About the youtube video

It is working. At low framerates (~7-12fps perhaps), but it is working. Sound output is perfect. Video quality is ok. Also, the Opera Mobile behaves a little weird. It pops up the SIP every time it encounters a flash object (including youtube (flv) video)

Quick Look – Lenovo IdeaPad S10

I’d a chance to play with Lenovo Ideapad S10 at the International Trade show, New Delhi. After my introduction with their product manager at the booth, I used the unit for nearly half-an-hour. Unfortunately, I had not previously decided that I would be going to the Trade Show so I was not carrying my digital camera with me. So, I was left with no option but to take pictures from my HTC Diamond. Also, since this is going to be my quick thoughts, don’t consider it to be final review.

Here are the quick specifications of the Lenovo S10:

  • 10.2″ WSVGA (1024 x 600) display
  • 1.6GHz N270 Intel Atom Processor
  • 1GB  DDR2 SDRAM @ 667MHz
  • Windows XP Home Edition
  • 1.3MP camera
  • 160GB HDD @ 5400rpm
  • Intel GMA 950 Integrated Graphics
  • Broadcom 11b/g Wi-Fi wireless and Bluetooth
  • 4-in-1 Media card reader and ExpressCard slot
  • 3-Cell Li-ion battery
  • Size 9.8″ x 7.2″ x 1.2″
  • Price: $499 (Rs 25000)

Design, Build Quality

The unit I used was black in color. The unit was solid and the body is plastic. The plastic was quite tough and does not flex at all, which is a nice thing.
