Video: Hardware Overview HTC Wildfire

This is a hardware overview of HTC Wildfire, a miniature-sized smartphone between the Nexus One and the HTC Desire. The HTC Wildfire is accompanied with a 528MHz processor and 384MB of RAM. Based on the current generation of Android smartphones, these specs are a bit behind.
The Wildfire is also equipped with a 3.2" QVGA capacitive screen with a 320 x 240 resolution. You'll also find Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, and GPS here. This device stays somewhat current with its 5-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, the low screen resolution makes it hard to tell just how good the picture looks on the device itself. Lastly, the Wildfire greatly impresses with a 1300mAh battery rated at providing an 8-hour talk time.

Video: Introducing New Mobile YouTube Site

After lots of hard work on so that YouTube videos play properly on iPhone and Android devices, it would appear that the company has decided who needs applications any more?

Google has reconfigured its mobile YouTube site at m.YouTube.com to promote all HTML5 compliant mobile browsers. In contrast to the applications which has given you limited functionality, the new mobile version of the site gives you a large number more access to the standard features of the site.

Instead of having to enter the Web address every time you would like to go the site, all you must do is make a Web shortcut app on your phone, and if you’re on the iPhone the site will prompt you to do this. Rather than the native app showing you an outdated TV as an icon, the new link could be the more familiar YouTube logo, so it'll be easy to discern between the two.

Many of the other benefits you’ll enjoy based on the official announcement include:

• It’s really fast.
• The user interface incorporates larger, more touch-friendly elements, making it simpler to access videos busy.
• It incorporates the features and functionality you’ve come to anticipate from the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, enable you to designate “favorite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.
• As we fix YouTube.com, you’ll see them quickly follow on our mobile site, unlike native apps which are not updated as frequently.

Essentially, there won't be a reason to use the apps that your phone came with. Will be interesting to see how Apple reacts to this as the YouTube application has come pre-installed on all of its iOS devices since the first iPhone.

Apple iPhone 4 Official Statement of Reception/Antenna Issue

Dear iPhone 4 Users,

The iPhone 4 has been the most successful product launch in Apple’s history. It has been judged by reviewers around the world to be the best smartphone ever, and users have told us that they love it. So we were surprised when we read reports of reception problems, and we immediately began investigating them. Here is what we have learned.

To start with, gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars. This is true of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, as well as many Droid, Nokia and RIM phones. But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design.

At the same time, we continue to read articles and receive hundreds of emails from users saying that iPhone 4 reception is better than the iPhone 3GS. They are delighted. This matches our own experience and testing. What can explain all of this?

We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.

Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.

To fix this, we are adopting AT&T’s recently recommended formula for calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone’s bars will report it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2 and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.

We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G.

We have gone back to our labs and retested everything, and the results are the same- the iPhone 4’s wireless performance is the best we have ever shipped. For the vast majority of users who have not been troubled by this issue, this software update will only make your bars more accurate. For those who have had concerns, we apologize for any anxiety we may have caused.

As a reminder, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.

We hope you love the iPhone 4 as much as we do.

Thank you for your patience and support.
