New Google Search experience for tablets

(Cross-posted on the Inside Search blog)

As part of our effort to evolve the Google design and experience, we’ve improved the www.google.com search experience on tablets. We’ve simplified the layout of search results pages and increased the size of page contents like text, buttons and other touch targets to make it faster and easier to browse and interact with search results in portrait or landscape view.

The search button located below the search box provides quick access to specific types of results like Images, Videos, Places, Shopping and more. Just tap to open the search menu and select an option to see results in one category.

For image results, we focused on improvements that enhance the viewing experience such as enlarged image previews, continuous scroll, and faster loading of image thumbnails.

This improved search experience is rolling out in the coming days to iPad and Android 3.1+ tablets across 36 languages. Give it a try by going to www.google.com in your tablet’s browser.

Review HD598 Sennheiser headphones - the valueable for listening to vocal or orchestral symphony.

Headphones belong  Sennheiser's professional line of nostalgic beauty and audio-class "audiophile".

Sennheiser HD598 headphones are as "open-back" and the head model in three 5x8 serries headphones Sennheiser's latest, including HD518, HD558 and HD598. HD598 is considered an upgrade, replacing the current mid-range headphones for the audiophile's been selling well - HD595.

The first impression with the Sennheiser HD598 is very eye-catching form with a tasteful design. Cream be coordinated with other key brown classic details give this headset a noble beauty. But do not use metal parts to reduce weight, but the HD598 provides a sense of certainty and careful design. The use of advanced materials velvet and leather in some detail on the headset contribute to a sense of hi-end.

Unlike its previous life Sennheiser headphone, HD598 with jack cord detachable . For those who fancy, prefer to upgrade the earphones cable, this is especially useful improvements. Cable comes to 3m in length, made of good quality OFC copper and coated outside with a very durable material, resistant to suppression, the impact of the environment.

Sennheiser claims they use Eargonomics standard friendly user in this new series. And first feel when wearing the trial showed that its claims are not mere marketing. Part ear-cup covered with velvet pad tight-fitting soft leather upper head and ears, feeling quite comfortable, not restrictive. Designed inside chamber music headphones are the company's engineers carefully studied with the aim of making people use headphones long without being tired.

Driver used in the HD598 is neodyum powerful magnets used in combination with diagfram two layers  Duofol and coil technology speakers with lightweight aluminum alloy in order to reproduce the detail and accuracy of sound in the highest level. Type used in the serries 5x8 driver is considered to be much improved than the previous 5x5's serries. These data reveal that, HD595 headphones are low impedance (50 ohm), very responsive (112 dB) and wide frequency range (12-38500 Hz).

Coupled with NuForce Icon HDP, immediately after "open box", HD598 has made an impressive ability to reproduce a wide open sound stage. The sound of the HD598 provides a fairly clear sense of an immersive audio space from in front of the listener rather than coming from behind like many other headsets. Perhaps, the design of a special chamber music by Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement technology of Sennheiser brings its apparent effect. Details of the audio and secondary audio attractive qualities is dominant, is easily found in the first field test of the headset.

After a period of " trial running", the sound of this headset was significantly better, particularly the bass range. The overall sound of the HD598 is rather balanced. We can say, HD598 has features very close to the superior products of Sennheiser HD650 or HD800. The inferior to the elder was probably just a little bit in the bass range and granularity. Compared with mid-range products such as HD580 or HD595, the HD598's sound is somewhat more attractive, rich in detail.

With rates of nearly 250$, Sennheiser HD598 is not small investment. But considering the relationship price / quality, then obviously this is a very worthy product of interest to the audiophile world, especially those who like listening to vocal or orchestral symphony.

You can find this headphone in Amazon: Sennheiser HD598

Google Maps 5.8 for Android adds photo uploads, My Places, and more

Today, Google Maps 5.8 for Android improves Places and Latitude with:

• Upload photos for a Place
• My Places as a simple way to manage the Places you’ve starred and recently viewed
• Descriptive terms for Places in search results
• Add a new Place on-the-go when checking in

Photo upload for a Place

When deciding on a place to go, people often want to know what a place looks like in addition to seeing ratings and reviews. You can now contribute photos to help others get a sense of places. You can now attach your photos to Places, and yours may even become the profile picture for that page. If you want to view or delete any photos you’ve contributed to Places, you can manage uploaded photos in the “Photos for Google Maps” album on your Picasa account.

Left: Uploading pictures to a place. Right: Photos in Android Gallery
My Places and descriptive terms for mobile

In June we announced descriptive terms and ‘My Places’ for the desktop. Both these features are now in Google Maps for mobile. Descriptive terms appear in search results for Places to inform you what businesses are ‘known for,’ such as their ‘eggs benedict’ or being ‘worth the wait.’

Also, My Places for mobile provides quick access to starred and recent Place pages you’ve looked at. You can access My Places by pressing your phone’s menu button while in Google Maps.

Descriptive terms and My Places in Google Maps for mobile
Add a new Place ‘on-the-go’ for check-ins

If you’re out and about and want to check in, we want to make sure you can quickly add a new Place to check into if one isn’t available. This might happen for new businesses or those that haven’t set up a Place page yet. For example, let’s say you’re at Xoogle Xtreme Sports, a new sports shop in your neighborhood. You go to check in but don’t see Xoogle in the list of places to check into and when you do a search still nothing comes up.

Add a Place when checking in, if needed
To solve this, you’ll now see an “Add place” option at the bottom of suggested places. Select that option, and you’ll be prompted to confirm the name and location of the new place. Then a brand new place is added (and you’re checked in). This place will be available for you and others to check into from Latitude, but will not appear as a search result in Google Maps or Google Places.

We’ve also added ‘Bigger text’ to our experimental Labs features and ‘Download map area’ has been renamed ‘Pre-cache map area.’

To start using Google Maps 5.8 for Android, download the update here. This update requires an Android OS 2.1+ device and can be used anywhere Google Maps is currently available. Learn more in our help center.

Samsung WB700 Review - Best camera with large zoom and cheap price

Samsung WB700 has good prices for large optical zoom, many modes attractive features and image quality at relatively.

Samsung is the new name emerged in the market of digital cameras for about two years. To penetrate this market, the company has chosen to integrate more features, hight sensor resolution and high-end specifications same attractive price to quickly capture market share. In the segment of ultra-zoom camera, Panasonic TZ models are gaining more advantages immediately, Samsung has launched WB series with more features but prices are more attractive than competitors.

Panasonic take Leica lens in their products and still cameras German firms to monitor and govern much of the production and engineering. And to select partners similar to compete with rivals, Samsung selection Schneider lens. Specifically, even when using lenses with a hundred year old history, but the Korean electronics companies still keep their products with an affordable price.

Samsung WB700 CCD sensor size 1 / 2, 3 inch 14.2-megapixel resolution, Schneider-Kreuznach lens 18x optical zoom focal lengths from 24 to 432 mm, behind the computer screen size 3 inch resolution QVGA. It can shoot 720p HD video resolution at 30, 15 frames per second

Part 1: Design and Control.

Samsung WB700 in size and high density, double the usual compact models, but much smaller than other models with similar large optical zoom. Schneider lens with 18x optical zoom, large front wheel operated by a two-way right down the shutter. Along the face of the wheel of edit mode and the power key.

In overall design, the lens is quite large, occupying almost the entire shock front. This style is partly due to large optical structures but also by the rest of its vision to create "level" than the machine to distinguish them from ordinary compacts.

The rear of the WB700 is a large screen, size 3 inch TFT LCD with navigation keys and keypad to adjust the right tools. One advantage of this model is to integrate a key individual in the video right next to the machine right hand corner. This makes it easy to record video without having to adjust wheel mode or select the menu as many other compact models. Besides the navigation buttons the usual four, WB700 has a custom function button can help users to change the ISO value, clearing and balancing the white light through a small menu pops up when pressed.

WB700 also has a function button  is like many compact cameras by Canon, by displaying a short menu on the left side of the screen. These options can be set up including resolution, image quality, ISO, white balance, focus, metering, intelligent filtering and image stabilization. This menu system is the small circle is displayed around the user has chosen to follow more easily.

The main menu system of WB700 is quite intuitive to be divided into two columns to the left of the design while the appendages are right. The options are shown in detail, easy to understand so users easily change the parameters of interest.

Under this model is the same battery and memory card slots. WB700 is rather special point using conventional lithium ion battery but can charge by plugging the cord directly into the camera. This design has in many other models of Samsung tourism but its advantage is that less attention to. The direct charging will help users do not have to carry a large local charge and replaced by a single USB cable. This cable has to exchange data with a computer can just plug in charger to recharge the battery department.

Another surprise is the WB700, Samsung to "turn on" use cards instead of SD and SDHC microSD cards that it had "preferred" model using more compact than in recent years. SD memory cards are common in travel camera, but the use of microSD previous Samsung is said to be quite bold for easy exchange with other mobile intelligent.

In general, the WB700 works fast. The phone takes about 1.5 seconds to boot (from time to time set screen display) and about 4 seconds to capture the first picture (from the source to the moments when shooting is finished). Samsung's cameras also focus over time to detect the contrast pretty quickly even in low light conditions. However, unfortunately the speed of recovery after taking with flash a long . As announced by Samsung, the machine takes about 4 seconds after each flash modes to make the next shots, but this in fact test in about 6 seconds.

Slideshow photos taken it is really a very big advantage of the WB700. Not only display information about photos, this model also allows direct editing operations such as rotate, crop and add special effects (Smart Filter). Users can view images directly with each effect before pressing the button to agree. In addition, images can also edit the small preview features like Smart filter add effects such as red eye removal, identification and smoothing in the face, increasing the brightness, contrast, adding noise.

Part 2: Image Quality

All test images and comments are made with the Superfine custom high-resolution 14-megapixel JPEG photos. Images obtained with the average size is about 6 MB.

Image quality is generally taken from the WB700 are commendable, especially compared to other super-zoom competitors. Sharp images with good color reproduction. However, like all other compact cameras, WB700 also see the downside is sometimes the contrast range becomes narrower in some cases, specific time. In the tests on noise control, WB700 make good noise reduction features noise sometimes even appear in some cases in which a low ISO in natural light.

WB700 for very good pictures with ISO settings less than 400. Almost no interference occurs and the edges, edge detail is reproduced clearly. At ISO 400, noise may begin to appear, but difficult to detect in conventional image and zoom can be monitored.

In fact, interference with colored particles do not appear until the machine reaches ISO 800 or higher. The sides and edges begin fainter details in this setting, but the control is "within reach" of the WB700. When the ISO 1600 reached over, the noise started clearest in the scenes, the dark especially blue highlights. At ISO 3200, WB700 control noise test by smoothing the image. This reduces the interference color particles but also the loss of detail in some areas of images and sometimes light blue spots appear larger in dark areas.

Quality Schneider lenses have the opportunity to show the pictures to be sharp detail is quite good. The small details on the lens image is reproduced in full and easily seen at 100% magnification. However, this lens could not avoid the phenomenon of aberration even quite small and difficult to detect. This phenomenon occurs when there is a large contrast between the clear black and white. In this case, aberrations occur with a thin look.

WB700 can shoot macro close at least 3 cm, this distance is sufficient to take appropriate small items or reproducing the details of the object.

Conclusion

Samsung WB700 is really a competitor "stunned" with many other cameras in its segment, the money. Model seeks to ease of use interface while integrating more features and full manual mode for the photographer. Design quality of WB700 is generally pretty good with metal casing, the screen bright and convenient connection to PC or charger is very convenient.

The image quality of WB700 is a strong point with good color reproduction, and the ability to catch fast strokes. Metering capability works well even contrast sometimes be limited in some cases.

WB700 is a camera really is worth the price chosen  for many advanced features, good image quality, manual mode for photographers and a large optical zoom

3D Sharp Quattron LE830 Review - New 3D TV with good price

Sharp's new 3D models appreciated the ability to show movies. This is one form of good quality LED edge today.

Aquos LE830 Series is Sharp's HDTV in product line 2011 with four different models of 40, 46, 52 and 60 inch with prices from 782$ to 3000$. This is the second line of 3D TV Sharp sold in the market, the LE925 model series began on a first occasion in 2011.

Sharp LE830 series is also the generation successor model to the first HDTV Quattron LE820 series but adds the ability to show 3D with shutter glasses. 3D Model possesses LCD LED lights outline border with Full HD resolution and RGBY Quattron Quadpixel technology that allows displays vibrant colors and lively.

In addition, new 3D TV of Sharp is also adding entertainment features online connectivity with integrated Wi-Fi. Users can access the repository of video content, social networking applications, content on demand is equipped as Cinema Now, Vudu and YouTube ... Japanese manufacturers are also equipped with features developed multimedia content such as movies, pictures and music directly via USB or wireless DLNA.

Design

The first impression in the TV series 3D Quattron LE830 is Sharp's new slim design comes with an display of thin edge. Thickness measured in the 46 inch model is only 34 mm while the contoured sides and top of the screen is only a few cm.

The design retains the same style as the older 2010 model but LE830 Quattron year's series is more attractive in shape and also showed more modern. The four screen corners only slightly rounded appearance makes square the TV, stronger than the predecessor model Quattron as LE820, LE925 series.

Compared to the predecessor of the same level of last year's series LE820, LE830 screen is no longer the seamless glass protection does not make sense Borderless and instead, the screen is slightly recessed into the cause appears the glossy black border around the screen.

The design changes also help to Sharp's new 3D models has been blurred screen format, limiting the phenomenon of the shadow, light reflection in the screen as a mirror in the form old Quattron.

If you look closely on TV, viewers will see a further change in the design of LE830 series. It's the next line below the screen edge is split into two separate parts. In it, scratched plastic strip gray bottom edge of the screen was to bend and turn slightly to the inside out, to help users more convenient to work with array built-touch keys on the TV.

Brackets are designed with metal balls covered with black plastic quite sure. Similar to the model of Samsung HDTV, LG or Sony this year, Sharp also allows the TV screen can rotate the flexible sides if used with the base.

The whole system of TV signal connections are located on the back end of the screen. Only a few ports analog signal as S-video, Component, SCART plug set type face to face with the back straight. While almost all the important connection of TV as an antenna jack, HDMI, USB, Ethernet port types are placed parallel to the screen toward the right or bottom. This design is convenient for the TV hanging on the wall.

The remote control comes not much change from last year's accessories while longer owns the design. However, weight is too light and material not really high for the the Sharp does not control feels really comfortable to use with many people.

Features

Sharp LE830 own series LCD with LED edge lighting systems, achieving a resolution of Full HD 1080p with 120 Hz scanning speed. In addition to the exclusive imaging technology Quattron Quadpixel and ability to show 3D movies shutter glasses, Sharp's products also owns other special features like content recording Time Shift Recording, DLNA wireless connection, NET + intelligent platform integrating multiple online services.

Time Shift Recording is an interesting feature for those who are watching television, especially sports programs or programs that are broadcast live. Similarly LE820 and LE925 of last year, this feature allows users to pause TV is playing, rewind and view the footage before, but does not affect existing content.

Unlike the model year, LE830 series this year is not equipped with built-in memory, so use the Time Shift function you will have to add more memory left outside in third with an integrated USB port available on TV.

DLNA is currently a data network connection is quite common on  electronic devices today. It allows users to access other personal data warehouse without having to connect cables, USB plug and the connection between two or more different devices. DLNA on LE830 series is pretty simple interface, allowing access and always music, photos and even video from other DLNA devices join the network.

Actual test to see it on the LE830 using smooth, controlled operation quick file selection but the lyrics and on TV was happening too slowly.

Similar to Internet TV Smart TV's Sony or Samsung, LG, TVs networking new generation of Sharp also owns a network of personal entertainment service, called NET +. NET + system features and content services are three TV maker Philips, Loewe and Shap same development to compete against three rivals on the front TV network.

However, using the fact that NET + is still a platform limited to the present time because it is integrated more software content for the U.S. and Europe , difficult or impossible to use for domestic users. Meanwhile, an online content repository for NET + is not officially appear.

YouTube video store online and the ability to surf the web is the most useful to users by allowing users to freely access the online content on the Internet. But users should also note, the browser's integrated NET + LE830 series does not support the Flash format.

Sharp LE830 features a hidden ownership, however, is that many users are concerned, there is the possibility of high energy. Real test of the model 46 inch HD Flatpanels, LE830 resulted in consumption of only 71 Watt 2D view SD and HD, while in mode power consumption is 81 Watt.

This is the power consumption in a hugely impressive 46-inch model. Compared to high-end TV models each rated for energy management is a Samsung LED D8000, products from Sharp is a lower power consumption.

Experience movies

As the second Quattron generation of the Sharp Quattron TV with some improvements over the last year to LE830 TV series possess the ability to show good movies in many different reviews, as well as the image quality publications after reset the parameters of the TV picture.

However, significant weakness of LE830 after the alignment of the image is in the ability of color is not really accurate. Color saturation, while not perfect, not all colors are really separated.

Compared with the reference model of the Samsung LED D8000, LE830-quality color equivalent but still far less compared to the sample is considered a TV picture quality and color best of today .

Sharp Quattron form of property the ability to improve low-resolution images from SD -TV signals or analog cable. Thus the image shows a high degree of detail even for SD quality.

However LE830 just really impressed when performing image quality in HD. This model for the image reaches a very high degree of detail, much better than LE820 last year's. Colors in Movie mode honest, the frame motion appear smoother high thanks to the ability high to scan .

Although only the scan speed is 120Hz, but with open and scan feature turned off the screen backlight continuous scan TV is capable of high speed interpolation 200/240Hz .

LE830 is one of the LCD TVs capable of showing the best black bands on the market today that can compare with Plasma screen TV. Black depth was measured after performing the calibration parameters of this model's screen is only 0.04 cd/m2, impress the equivalent models of Panasonic Plasma GT30 or an expensive LED Samsung D8000.

The ability to display deep black of LE830 series works well even in bright environments due to the use of screen blurred as the protective layer instead of a shiny mirror. The frames show the great detail even in dark, creating an impressive depth to use for watching movies or playing games. It is this quality makes the LE830 has performed movies very flattering eye.

Using LED technology is located in the border the the Sharp model is faced with the phenomenon corona , the private area if turn on black frame in a dark room. But this is common with many TVs LED current, so it does not make LE830 lost appreciation for quality film presentation.

Similarly the ability to show HD, new model Sharp Quattron also received praise in the 3D film presentation. Thanks to its high scanning speed, the same right and ability to perform deep black band, dark quality to LE830 better 3D performance LE925 predecessor despite lower prices.

Using 3D active shutter glasses, but with noise or crosstalk phenomenon of the Sharp's 3D LED samples are less experienced. Only in 3D scenes with high contrast, new 3D crosstalk phenomenon occurs more. But even in 3D Plasma TV, with the 3D frame like this is interference and the is also unavoidable.

Equipped with the ability to directly convert 2D to 3D, but to achieve the best popular film, enjoy the best dramatic effect users should still use the 3D sources from Blu-ray and 3D original. The 3D test on LE830 series is done with 3D Blu-ray and PS3 gaming consoles.

Still owns the SRS Surround Sound technology and integrated speaker system as his predecessor should LE820 Sharp's new 3D TV models are not much changed for quality sound performance. However, this model has been rated as high quality audio performance better than many other ultra-slim LED TV models currently on the market.
