[How To's]Optimze your website for Mobiles devices

This is a Guest Article about the Optimization of Website for Mobile Devices From the Editor of Sahipasand mobile ,

Let's Start Optimze your website for Mobiles devices :

These days, one of the most essential things for any webmaster is to have a mobile friendly website. Smartphone usage has increased significantly and rapidly, and a lot of the internet traffic today is strictly mobile. Not having your site optimized for mobile devices leaves you in a position to lose potential visitors and customers. With that knowledge in mind, your biggest decision to make at this point is not if you should go mobile, but what is the best way to do it – with a plugin or with a new web platform. Both using a plugin and creating a web platform have their advantages and disadvantages, so keep on reading this article, to understand which option is better for you to take your website on-the-go.

Mobile Plugins

Using mobile plugins is definitely the easier route to take. They are generally offered by the host of your website or a third party, and give you the opportunity to install a plugin on your website that automatically converts it to mobile. Basically, what this means is that once you have installed the plugin, anyone visiting your site on a mobile device will automatically see your site's mobile optimized version. Plugins are very easy to use, as optimizing requires nothing more than downloading and installing the appropriate one on your website. You will definitely save time and money with a plugin.

However using a plugin means that you will also lose the ability to have much control over your mobile site. There is little, if any opportunity for customizing, meaning that your site will likely be squeezed into a ready-made template that might not be the most conducive to what you are offering.

Mobile Web Platform

Building a brand-new, customized mobile website offers a lot of advantages not available to those using a plugin, customization obviously being the main one. As mentioned, customization lets you control the design and layout of the site, instead of fitting it into a template. If your standard site is highly customized, it will probably be worth to spend the extra time and money to do a custom design also for your mobile site– you will want that extra control over the final look, and be able to ensure that you can retain all the features. This usually means that you will be able to use more media-rich content, like videos, maps and info graphics and control how it looks, and just generally retain more of the features from your standard site like the look, style, and brand identity that you cultivated so carefully on your main website.

Choosing between the two has a lot to do with your available resources and time, but do think long and hard about whether customizing is really necessary for your site. If you follow a fairly standard, text-based format, it might not be worth the money and headache to customize. And if you do go the customizing route, work with and listen to the experts.You do not want to end up spending a lot of time and money developing a inefficient website.

Google's Experiment - Sony Product

Posted by Unknown

on 12:18 AM

Google's experiment to bring Plain Vanilla Android to Sony's Smartphone.

Jean-Baptiste Query (JBQ), Google's Technical Lead of the Android Open Source Project delivered the good news.

Sony Xperia S was selected to this experiment according to JBQ:

"it's a powerful current GSM device, with an unlockable bootloader, from a manufacturer that has always been very friendly to AOSP."

Sony of course will have to play a role in the project as well, but given the company's good record with AOSP involvement, we doubt it will be an issue.

Google's project will essentially bring the Sony Xperia S into the privileged fold of the Nexus family of devices - a mighty great perspective, which is bound to make the handset a lot more attractive.

Samsung Becomes No 1 in SmartPhone Beats Apple

Posted by VK18

on 7:45 AM

Samsung took its lead over Apple in smartphones, Due to Arrival of new Galaxy phones before Apple updated its iPhone.

Samsung's Galaxy S III phone got good reviews right from the release. In US, the phones work with the faster 4G network. The Galaxy's screen is much larger than the iPhone's, while the Samsung phone is lighter and thinner. An iPhone with 4G capabilities isn't expected until this fall. IPhone 4S, came out in October, as the sales dropped several months after its release.

According to IDC, Samsung Electronics shipped 50.2 million smartphones worldwide and had a market share of 33 per cent, up from 17 per cent a year ago. Apple fell down a bit to 17 per cent, from 19 per cent a year ago. It sold 26 million iPhones in the April-June.

Having the Galaxy S III before the new iPhone, it also benefited from its strategy of developing several devices for a range of consumers. On the other-hand, Apple targets only the high-end market with its iPhone. IDC’s report after Samsung Galaxy sales was that it was the highest sale record as it had a quarterly profit. These sales made all other consumer electronic businesses such as television and PC’s.

Reports of the analyst speaks that Samsung will achieve a new high profit record by the third quarter, but they also may slow down as the Apple’s new iPhone shows out.The shipping of the phone manufacturers is 154 million smartphones by second quarter, 42 per cent increase from 108 million a year. Including mobile phones, vendors shipped 406 million units, up from 402 million a year earlier.

Samsung and Apple combined claimed nearly half of the smartphone market. Nokia is third with a 6.6 per cent market share, down from more than 15 per cent a year ago. HTC is fourth with 5.7 per cent of the market, down from nearly 11 per cent. Chinese phone ZTE has reached in the fifth spot for the first time, with a 5.2 per cent market share, up from 1.8 per cent a year earlier. Its lower-cost, entry-level smartphones have been popular in China and Latin America.

Best smartphone above Rs 30,000 in October-November

Posted by Unknown

on 7:15 AM

Best smartphone above Rs 30,000 in October-November

Last month before Diwali, about 19 different smartphones were launched in India.

Though there weren't that many this month, we did see some new high-end smartphones.This list is for you if you want a smartphone that can do everything, including looking really good.

All these new smartphones are priced above Rs 20,000.

APPLE iPhone 4S : Several users ceased purchasing iPhone 4 in September-October and waited for the iPhone 4S instead. With a distinctive virtual assistant feature, the iPhone 4S is an improved version of iPhone 4 in terms of specs.

A dual-core Apple A5 SoC mobile processor, the iPhone 4S promises twice the processing power its predecessor had

Apple has put in an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash which is capable of capturing high quality images and 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second.

Also, Apple's iCloud storage service is also accessible using iPhone 4S and offers up to 5 GB of online storage. The device runs iOS 5.0 with several new features.

With the same 3.7 inch retina display screen, the distinctive feature of the iPhone 4S is Siri, the virtual assistant that is voiced by a lady. Indian consumers will have to struggle with the voice.

The Apple iPhone 4S will be available in India at Rs 44,500 for a 16 GB model, and Rs 51,000 and Rs 57,500 for a 32 GB model.

Motorola RAZR XT910 : Motorola revisited its slim line of smartphones with the new RAZR XT910. Featuring a big 4.3 inch Super Amoled display with qHD (960 x 540 pixel) resolution, the new Motorola RAZR XT910 is 7.1 mm thin.

Its display uses Gorilla Glass to make it sturdy and scratch resistant. The Kevlar fibers at the back too add to the tough look. The smartphone has a dual-core 1.2 GHz mobile processor to power Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, which can be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when it arrives.

At the back of the phone there is an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash that is capable of recording video at full HD, or 1080p, resolution. There is also a Backside-Illuminated Sensor (BSI-2) that helps in clicking better quality images in poor light.

The front facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video chat is also HD capable. Samsung's new MotoCast App that debuts with the phone allows wireless content streaming.

For better audio response the handset features a 1780 mAh battery that promises talk time of up to 9 hours on 2G networks.
Motorola's legendary RAZR smartphone indeed is chic, svelte and powerful enough to open apps quickly, run games and multi-task.

Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 : Samsung's new Galaxy Note GT-N7000 despite appearing like a mini-tablet, is actually a large-screen smartphone.

The perfect mashup of a smartphone and tablet, the Galaxy Note is a modern day digital assistant with new S Pen stylus which is extremely useful for taking quick notes, drawing/sketching, signing and even navigating through menus.

Galaxy Note has a 5.3 inch Super Amoled HD screen with native 720p HD resolution. We had the chance to try the Samsung Galaxy Note at its launch.

The Samsung Galaxy Note comes with a dual core 1.4 GHz processor that powers Android 2.3.x Gingerbread with TouchWiz UI and Live Panels layered on top. Galaxy Note has an 8 megapixel camera with flash that can record full HD videos. After that you can edit videos on Note itself. The bigger display might look a bit cumbersome but in fact it is amazingly helpful while taking quick notes or working on something important.

Samsung Galaxy Note is priced at Rs 35,000 which does sound a bit heavy on the pocket but is actually quite reasonable if you consider its features and powerful 2500 mAh battery.

HTC Sensation XE : HTC's new Sensation XE has been quietly made available in India through retail channels though the smartphone is yet to be formally launched.

This smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread features a 4.3 inch touchscreen display and houses a dual core 1.5 GHz processor.
Apart from its qHD (960 x 540 pixel) display, the Sensation XE has an 8 megapixel camera that is capable of recording full HD 1080p video at 30 fps.

Sensation XE is the first handset for India that features Beats Audio profiles pre-loaded on the handset alongwith Beats earphones. As soon as you plug in the earphones, the pre-configured audio profiles enhance the music. That's what HTC claims though we are yet to test this claim.

HTC Sensation XE comes with a 1730 mAh battery that makes it last longer than usual high-end Android smartphones. Of course, this handset is capable of running Android 4.0 ICS update which will be released when ready. HTC Sensation XE is being sold at a rough retail price of Rs 32,400 which might be a bit expensive but might be worth it for those who love music and HTC's Sense user interface.

Samsung Galaxy S II : Samsung's flagship device Galaxy S II GT-i9100 continues to be a popular high end smartphone.

This handset's most noteworthy feature is its large 4.27 inch Super Amoled Plus touchscreen that supports 800 x 480 pixel resolution.

Galaxy S II runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the new TouchWiz 4.0 user interface. The mobile operating system is fast and smooth, thanks to its dual core 1.2 GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 SoC processor.

The phone has 16 GB of internal storage which can be taken up to 32 GB using a memory card. There might be no need to expand the phone's memory though, because it has a USB on-the-go port that can read flash drives with more than 4 GB capacity.

Featuring an 8 megapixel camera, Galaxy S II can record full 1080p HD videos and delivers brilliant images, and its front facing 2 megapixel VGA camera is great for video chats.

Motorola RAZR to be priced at INR 34K in India, coming soon

Posted by VK18

on 3:02 AM

Motorola RAZR could be making its way to stores very soon in India, as stated by the company’s country office earlier. This sleek and powerful smartphone will be priced at INR 33,990, as posted on the smartphone listing on Flipkart.

Motorola India will be releasing its most anticipated smartphone of the year RAZR in the country very soon and we all have been guessing the price for a long time and thanks for the coming soon listing on the popular online retailer, we know it is going to cost us a hefty INR 33,990.

There are a lot of reasons of the almost unreasonable pricing in the country, and I am not sure how many of you are actually going to spend this much to grab the phone. The depreciation of rupee in the recent times is one major factor, which has also forced other manufacturers to think about correcting their existing smartphone prices as well. As all these smartphones are manufactured outside India, exchange rates play a very important role along with all the duties and taxes on how a particular device is going to be priced in the country.

Coming back to RAZR, it features a

dual core 1.2GHz TI OMAP processor,
4.3 inch Super AMOLED Advanced display with Gorilla Glass, just 7.1mm thickness, Kevlar fibre on the back to increase durability, and
8MP rear camera with 1.3M front shooter.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, neo V officially debut in India

Posted by VK18

on 2:58 AM

2 comments

Sony Ericsson has officially announced Xperia Pro and neo V - pro order in the Indian market today. If you recall, we have already reported about the market availability of Xperia neo V, so it is just a formality for the smartphone. On the other hand, globally announced way back in Feb at Mobile World Congress along with Xperia Arc, Pro is going to be finally available in the country.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro is company’s third Android smartphone with slide-out QWERTY to be released in India. Other two are Xperia Mini Pro and Xperia X10 Mini Pro; both of them come with comparably smaller displays.

SE Xperia Pro features a 3.7-inch display with 854×480-pixel resolution, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android 2.3, 320MB of internal memory, 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and HD video recording, and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera. Pricing has not been announced right now, but it is rumored to be around INR 22K.

Lastly, you already know neo V with Gingerbread, 1GHz processor and 5MP camera with VGA secondary cam is selling in the Indian market for INR 17,500.

Data Partnership: Sony Ericsson India has partnered with Airtel to provide free 500MB data per month for three months with the purchase of these devices, buyers will also get 200 minutes of Mobile TV for two months.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S on sale in India for INR 27K

Posted by VK18

on 2:54 AM

Another Sony Ericsson Android smartphone is now available for purchase in the Indian Market. Being sold at online retailer Letsbuy, Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S is the successor to the original Arc and features a few upgrades. It has been priced at INR 26,995 and can be ordered now.

Sony Ericsson is releasing its products in India pretty fast; it was just a month back that company officially introduced Xperia Pro and neo V in the country. Although, we are still waiting for company’s press release for Arc S launch, but it is pretty normal these days for smartphones to go on sale even before companies officially announce them (sometimes they don’t even do that).

Xperia arc S Features:

1.4 GHz processor
3D and 2D sweep panorama photography
8.1 MP camera with Exmor R for mobile image sensor
4.2″ Reality display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine
Gingerbread Android 2.3
Five color choices: Pure White, Midnight Blue, Misty Silver, Gloss Black, Sakura Pink
320MB internal memory

Other features are same as original Arc, 4.2 inch display, 8.1MP rear camera, Gingerbread and 320MB Internal memory.

Xperia Active - Ultimate Android Smartphone For Your Active Life

Posted by VK18

on 9:30 PM

Flick it, kick it, throw it, wet it. Drag and drop it. And watch it come back for more. The Sony Ericsson Xperia active is a survivor. The rugged smartphone has a Bravia Reality display and exchangeable covers, 1GHz of oomph and HD video, and plenty of sporty apps. It's got you - tucked under an arm strap. It goes wherever you go.

Durable smartphones are becoming an Android-exclusive niche and Sony Ericsson want in. But the Xperia active believes that an IP67-certified phone doesn't have to be all muscle and no charm.

The Xperia active is a cute little phone - the action-scene body double of the Xperia mini. Go ahead, laugh it up, Sonim. This is a phone that doesn't take much pocket space, which is a big plus in our book. And no, they don’t have to be cargo pockets either.

The IP67-certified Xperia active is supposed to withstand water immersion in up to a meter for as long as half an hour. It's also dust-proof and shock-resistant. Before you ask, we're not going to test it to the very limit of endurance. Like we said, some real heavy duty rugged phones can sneer all they want. It's just that a compact sporty smartphone for both urban and wilderness hikes may as well have the last laugh.

The Xperia active has the specs and looks of an Xperia mini. What you get is a full-featured smartphone with some high-end ingredients like the Reality Display, Snapdragon processor and HD video. It's a phone for an active lifestyle - it's got the proper build and the right set of apps. Sony Ericsson did not skimp on the in-box accessories either.
The Xperia active doesn't quite look the typical rugged phone, no ribbed hardened rubber case. It's definitely sporty though and the compact size more than makes sense for a handset you’re likely to take on jogs or bike rides.

With Sony Ericsson planning to focus exclusively on smartphones, they know they need to add more variety to their lineup. That includes distinctly niche phones like the Xperia active. Keeping an eye on the competition is a good thing too. The Xperia active seems to fit comfortably between a Samsung Galaxy S5690 Xcover and a Motorola Defy+. And being the smallest of the bunch isn't necessarily a bad thing. They don't call it survival of the biggest, right?
So, the Xperia active is the kind that thrives on action. Let's get busy then and see what the rugged droid is really made of

Want a dual core Android smartphone, but don’t have big bucks to spend, then you should look for Micromax Superfone A85 (yes, that superfone is in the name). Although not yet officially announced, this Android smartphone from Micromax is now available online for just INR 18,990, making it the cheapest phone with a dual core processor in the Indian market.

Powered by nVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor, Micromax A85 features Android 2.2 (that is a bit of dampner, but according to some reports, company is promising Gingerbread update) and 3.8 inch capacitive display. The only other dual core smartphone nearby this budget is LG’s Optimus 2X, which is currently priced around INR23K in the market.

Micromax A85 certainly does not look like a bad deal at this pricing and the set of specifications , but then we are yet to get our hands on the device, so try it before going for it.

Micromax A85 Superfone Specifications:

3.8 inch TFT Display
1GHz nVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor
5MP rear camera, 0.3MP front camera
Android 2.2
