What is rolltop???

Overview:
Rolltop is a portable computer development concept for designer, architect and everyone, who would like to have a gadget, which, from an aesthetic standpoint alone, certainly hits the mark. By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multitouchscreen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor due to the support attached to the back of the screen.

Rolltop 2.0 is a further development of Rolltop with some visible and mostly invisible improvements (e.g. internal design, placement of certain components etc.)

Proposition:
Rolltop is not a “virtual and futuristic” gadget, existing only on the screen of your computer as in the most of similar concepts and visions! Most of the existing design concepts usually have been developed without any deep technologic and ergonomic elaboration and often could be difficult or even impossible realized. From the beginning Rolltop has been developed as a real future product. During its development a lot of different scenarios (e.g. usability, functionality etc.) were simulated. Moreover we have included in Rolltop the best worldwide ergonomic, mechanic and electronic practices.


Technology:
The device of the flexible display allows a new concept in notebook design growing out of the traditional “bookformed” laptop into unfurling and convolving portable computer. Rolltop incorporates both latest high-tech devices and a new brand design techniques into a computer that will increase the quality and productivity of the designers work. On top of everything else no laptop bag needed – all computer utilities from an interactive pen through power supply to the holding belt are integrated in Rolltop. This is really an all-in-one gadget.


BlackBerry Torch 9810

The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a straight upgrade to the popular Torch 9800, sporting a better display and a later version of the BlackBerry operating system plus some other improvements along the way.
As with the previous handset, the Torch 9810 has a smallish 3.2" touchscreen display, this time up to 480 x 640 pixels from 360 x 480 pixels. The operating system is BlackBerry 7 rather than BlackBerry 6, internal RAM has been upped to 768Mb from 512Mb and the 5 megapixel camera on the back is now capable of HD video capture.

The new operating system promises a better user experience, although version 6 was disappointing compared to rivals, so RIM need to raise their game here. It includes all the usual smartphone features such as a web browser and media player, plus of course excellent support for email because this is a BlackBerry.

BlackBerry Torch 9810 GPS is built in (plus a mapping application), and the Torch 9810 supports 3.5G data, WiFi and Bluetooth. It comes with a very useful 8GB of built-in flash memory plus a microSD slot, and it also has a 3.5mm audio socket.

The Torch 9810 is likely to appeal to existing BlackBerry users looking for an upgrade, Android customers will probably see the relatively small screen size as being a retrograde step. The Torch 9810 is quite heavy despite the small screen size, weighing 161 grams and measuring 111 x 62 x 15mm when closed.

The 9810 forms one of a trio of BlackBerry 7 handsets alongside the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the BlackBerry Torch 9850 / 9860 which RIM hope will stop users from defecting to rival platforms. Although these are likely to be the best BlackBerry devices ever, RIM will have a very hard time competing with the massively successful Android platform.

RIM say that the BlackBerry Torch 9810 should be available later this month, no guidance was given on price although it will most likely retail for around €400 to €450 at launch.

Nokia 500




Nokia 500
A landmark device in two ways, the Nokia 500 is Nokia's first 1GHz Symbian phone, and it is also the first handset to ditch Nokia's hopelessly awful naming system to come up with something a little more flexible.

Before we look at the phone, let's look at the name. No longer will we be baffled by having completely different phones with the same name, such as the C3 messaging phone and the C3 Touch and Type. The number on future Nokia handsets will indicate just where they are in the range, from 100 to 999, so the Nokia 500 sits pretty much slap bang in the middle of Nokia's line-up, priced at €150 before tax and subsidy.

The Nokia 500 follows a pretty familiar pattern when it comes to the hardware. There's a 3.2" 360 x 640 pixel display, a 5 megapixel camera on the back and 3.5G and WiFi, GPS and an FM radio plus Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

The operating system is the latest version of Symbian called "Anna", which includes free navigation and mapping software, a comprehensive multimedia player and all the usual applications you would expect to find on a smartphone.

Nokia 500 Under the hood, the Nokia 500 sports a 1GHz CPU, which is very fast for a device in this price range. Combine this with the fact that Symbian is a very efficient operating system when it comes to resources, and it is quite likely that the Nokia 500 will be a little speed demon when it comes to gaming, multimedia and web surfing.

Nokia 500 Compared to high-end smartphones, the screen size is pretty modest. The camera is a bit poor when it comes to making video clips, with 15 fps VGA resolution capture. But compared with similarly priced Android devices, the Nokia 500 actually looks pretty good, especially with the pin-sharp display and speedy processor. What the Nokia 500 lacks is Android's application library, but even so there are plenty of applications available.
There are two colours of Nokia 500 coming - black and white, but there are a variety of large, colourful battery covers available including two covers in the box. Available colours at launch include black, orange, khaki, purple, coral red and azure blue with green, pink and dark silver available later.

This is quite lightweight for a smartphone, coming in at 93 grams and measuring 111 x 54 x 14mm. Nokia say that the 500 should get up to 5 hours talktime and 18 days standby time from its 1110 mAh battery.


Blogger Banned in Turkey

Turkish Blogger users reported that Digiturk caused ban of Blogger again. As we know Digiturk, the leading satellite TV provider, sued some blogspot adressses for streaming live football matches online and Turkish courts decided to block the entire blogspot blogs including Blogger.com three years ago, in 2008. Recently some webmasters have used Blogger to stream live football matches again and as a result Digiturk has caused the ban of Blogger in Turkey.

After many Blogger users used social media to make Digiturk and Google hear their voice, Digiturk published a written press release which stated that Google Turkey was irresponsive to their requests of banning the given blogspot links which were about twenty. Turkish Blogger users are determined to unblock the access to Blogspot links and they keep protesting both Google and Digiturk using #blogumadokunma hash-tag...

Since it is not possible to stream something live through Blogger, the decision taken by Turkish court can be considered as wrong decision. Actually webmasters get an embed code from some live streaming websites and use the code in their blogs to drive traffic and monetize their short-term blogs easily. So both Digiturk and the Turkish courts should deal with those live streaming sites instead of free blog providers. Feel free to tweet this post to support Turkish Bloggers’ effort.
