Introducing the new Search History link on Google

Have you ever tried to remember how to get back to a website that you found from a recent search? Today in the US, we’re launching a new search history feature which helps you quickly get back to sites you've been to and see items you have starred from your Android, iPhone, or desktop searches. Just sign in and then tap the history link at the bottom of the Google homepage.
If you’ve enabled search history in your account (tap “Settings” and select “Save Searches” under “Search History”, then tap “Save”), the history that you see is a combination of all your searches done while you are signed-in, whether you are searching from a laptop at home, your desktop computer at work, or your phone while on-the-go. Your mobile searches are marked with a little phone icon so you can tell them apart. For websites you’ve visited while searching on a desktop or laptop, you’ll see screenshot thumbnails that can help you recognize and return to the right sites quickly.
If you want to remove any history items, you can tap the "Edit" button at the top of the page and delete individual search queries. If you prefer to stop recording search history all together, choose the “Do not save searches” option under "Settings" on the home screen and tap “Save.”

At the top of the History page, you can also select your “Starred items,” which shows a list of search results you’ve starred on your computer or phone. Let’s say after researching places to snorkel in Hawaii, you found a website full of photos about Kealakekua Bay that you want to return to later. To star the Kealakekua Bay website, simply click on the star next to the Kealakekua Bay website on Google search results. Thereafter, whenever you want to return to the site, simply click on the “Starred items” option in history. This way, while you’re out with friends, you can easily get back to the website and show pictures of this magical cove right from your phone.
We hope you find the new History link useful!

Samsung which is not a big name among the camera manufacturers for the mass market as well as the high ranking level. When the number of dots on the race or integrated features are becoming saturated, companies have discovered to their own direction with the idea as one of a kind integrated auxiliary display on compact line ST, PL or less strategic flip mirror to produce "hybrid SLR" NX10 ... Version luxury travel camera EX1 (or TL500 in the U.S. market) continue to show creativity equipped with Samsung's unique "wide angle lens like 24mm f/1.8 aperture, rotating flip screen AMOLED , two disk mode and select a series of other advanced features.

Samsung EX1 is slightly larger than the size of a little over two opponents with the same class as the Canon S90 and the Panasonic LX3. Body weight of about 360 grams (battery not included) should be considerably difficult if you want to insert it into the pants pocket when go travel. The entire surface area of the EX1 grip is coated with a soft rubber ball is still slowing. When holding machine definitely feeling very slippery and not easy as S90 or LX3.

The front of the machine have an extra gear to help change the exposure in manual mode and shutter priority as the real DSLR. In addition, users can click on this gear to activate exposure compensation. This is a very innovative feature on the EX1, to help speed up operation and reduce errors by pressing the wrong button in quick shooting situations. On the grip, Samsung also more thoroughly integrated infrared sensor compatible with some of its remote control.

The top of the EX1 is to select two disks rotate, which, helped drive out the switching between the shooting modes and basic disk, the inner side assumed the role as the boot source, timer, single shot / continuous shooting and BKT (bracketing) used for HDR. Flashes sinking mechanism works much like the Canon S90 but instead controls the menu on the screen as competitors, users can turn off lights with mechanical buttons quite easily and quickly. Experimental fact that, due to the small size and slightly lower than the flip side of the machine but EX1 flash bright enough only to ensure at a distance of nearly three meters when setting ISO 100. If still not satisfied, users can mount more lights left on base as the line ED-SEF20A hotshoe flashgun capital for NX10 hybrid camera.

The rear EX1 a little bit tight due to the big screen have been eating and auxiliary button. However, the control system of the machine is extremely easy to get to know the layout of function keys relatively scientific and fairly intuitive menu design. EX1 provides 13 default scene, including some interesting modes like Beauty Shot help identify and then handle the brightness and color across the face, Frame Guide helps make available to another angle, only the base and press machine ... Machine support relative to the manual mode allows the selection of autofocus points in a frame and zoom the image when the user wants to focus manually.

Combined with proprietary technology AMODLED Samsung, this monitor is capable of re-detail, color and contrast superior to traditional generation LCD. Display quality and viewing angle is still guaranteed even better in bright environments such as the sun or in the lab.

With ambitions to compete with "big brand" Canon and Panasonic in the segment of luxury travel camera, Samsung EX1 is equipped with the advanced technology available today. CCD-megapixel resolution, but only 10 have sizes up to 1 / 1, 7 inch, equivalent rivals Canon S90 (or G11) and only slightly smaller than the Panasonic LX3. Most of the features on the EX1 is a system of Schneider-Kreuznach lens with focal length ranging from 24mm wide angle to telephoto 72mm, with optical stabilization. Compared with the lens fitted on two versions of S90 and G11 with the focal length in turn is 28-135mm and 28-140mm, Samsung EX1 quite limited in their ability and shooting range layout but has the advantage than when faced with large areas of landscape. Because the focal length starting from 24mm 3x zoom of the EX1 should also allow the capture a bit more flexible compared to 2.5 x the LX3. In addition, Samsung EX1 also owns a large aperture lens is "horrified" f/1.8 and f/2.4 at the widest angle when maximum zoom, extra strength to fight off any rivals any in its segment. Aperture big advantage not only helps get the machine stable when shooting low light, but also a serious increase in the effective background shots clear of pressing need, which is a strength only on the camera lens series left. Samsung EX1 also allows users to save files as RAW as the Canon S90, G11 and Panasonic LX3.

According Dpreview, the EX1 lens optical quality is quite good. Average distortion 2.6% at the widest angle of 24mm and almost negligible when the maximum of 3x zoom. If you save files as JPEG compression, the machine will automatically reduce the user of this error should not worry almost to the processing software. Images lack contrast when shooting steam outdoors. Metering works very unstable so you should consider using more features exposure compensation in case of necessity. The color processor reproduced fairly accurately with the neutral component, not too bright or too dull. Noise reduction capability of the machine operation is also very impressive. Images are still quite smooth and when to raise the ISO to 800. At higher sensitivity, reducing noise of the EX1 mechanism works only at an average rate should remain fairly sharp images, not smooth like the Canon S90 or appearing too much like Panasonic LX3 hotel. A little interference as colored precipitates appear in dark image areas to raise the ISO to 800 but this bug is still acceptable.

Samsung EX1 support video recording with image quality is quite good but the resolution just stop at VGA (640 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second) and single-channel sound (mono). Battery life is quite high, about 250 types of Photographyblog test image and can be recharged at any computer via a USB connection.

With significant upgrades to their form as well as technology equipment inside, Samsung EX1 is a "new star" on tourism market advanced camera next to names waver from Panasonic or Canon. Machine is a rugged, bright screen, open the large lens, long battery life and is far more better quality pictures even in low light conditions. Apart from some minor bugs related to metering and flash, EX1 deserves the number one choice for professional users besides DSLR cumbersome and complex.

Faster dialing with Google Voice on Android and Blackberry devices

(Cross-posted with the Google Voice Blog)

At Google we are obsessed with speed. Our mantra is faster = better. This is true for our Google Voice mobile apps as well. When you want to make a call, your phone should connect you as quickly as possible, whether you’re calling via Google Voice or not.

Today we are launching an enhancement to the Google Voice mobile app on Android and Blackberry phones, which makes placing calls much faster. We call this feature “direct access numbers.” Here’s how it works:

Until today, the Google Voice app had to make a request to the Google Voice server every time you wanted to make a call to send us the phone number you wanted to dial. Then the call would be connected via a Google Voice access number. With direct access numbers, we assign a unique phone number to every person you call. This means that we no longer need to use your data network to access the server each time you make a call, so calls will be placed much faster.

The updated Android app is available from Android Market starting today. For Blackberry users, you can download the app by visiting http://m.google.com/voice from your mobile device. You will need a valid Google Voice account to use the app, and at this time, Google Voice is available in the US only.

In addition, a highlight on the screen of the Nokia C5 is good visibility even under sunlight. However, with 2.2-inch size, the smart phone's screen this is considered quite small compared to the same price range handsets on the market.

Below the screen are six small keyboard keys to navigate around a square. The small keyboard includes two keyboard listening to calls, 2 function keys, Menu and Clear keys. The buttons are designed and fit for sure, private keys slightly raised Menu and Clear feeling so good to manipulate. Navigation keys are also designed square raised high and quite thin, but the ability to manipulate the keyboard is still very good.

Nokia C5 is equipped with a 12 keys numeric keypad as familiar on the phone model ordinary bar (candy bar). With the keys fit the size, material-friendly community with a reasonable degree bounce keys, numeric keypad of the C5 is the best comment of the mid-range phone market.

Nokia's next two C5 pretty empty. Left side only a small hole to hook the phone line column, while the right side includes a volume up button and microSD card slot. However, memory card slot on the Nokia C5 is a point of unnecessary except when the design is too deep, making operations on the memory card becomes very difficult.

C5 is on top of Nokia's 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB port and charger port. However, microUSB port and charger port was not making dust shields fit easily into the machine.

Back of the C5 is designed with simplicity in camera 3.2 megapixels and speakers on the underlying battery cover. Supported camera LED flash, however, makes no lens cover is easily scratched.

Performance in use: Multi-function with Symbian

Intelligent management contacts: machine equipped management functions of the phone pretty smart and handy. Ability to store unlimited contacts (depending on memory capacity) is a strong point of Nokia phones C5. The phone number in your contacts book added many small items such as avatar, address, email ... Furthermore, the arrangement of numbers in each group make the management more convenient than a more. In addition, users can change the type of personal ringtones for each phone number.

Excellent messaging capabilities: Supported by good keyboard plus intelligent messaging software, the drafting of messages on Nokia C5 more convenient and easier than ever. C5 supports SMS, MMS and email. C5 email application on Nokia phones like Nokia's Symbian recently, allowing users to manage e-mail with just a simple mail address and password. However, there was a small inconvenience in the Mail Manager of C5. That is to use Google email account, users must manually configure, but can not use automatic mode settings.

Feature conversation was relatively stable: with good recording capabilities, the Nokia C5 for call perfect quality is quite . Clear sound quality and quite clearly help users can even talk in a noisy environment. Besides, the report features a strong vibrating device to help users not miss any calls or messages. Nokia's speaker volume is not too large C5 compared with other phones on the market but also easy to satisfy users by the volume level just right, not being shy or distortion.

Outstanding musical performances: Unexpectedly, though C5 is the medium-range products in line C-series, though capable of playing the phone no less than the product side of the phone line solution position. C5 owns the music player is identical to the Nokia XpressMusic phones with the ability to support multiple audio formats like MP3, AAC, eAAC and WMA. Besides, this device is equipped with a 3.5mm headset jack lets users easily choose yourself a good quality headphones to enhance the music experience that this brings Nokia C5 again.

In addition, the quick search feature by name and song music library sorted by artist smart, album, genre, etc.. also highlights the musical ability of the Nokia C5. Nokia's sound quality when listening through headphones C5 was hit pretty clear and detailed. Bass and Treble are quite harmonious combination makes the listener feel the music on a dedicated MP3 player. However, the volume when listening with headphones is not really a big drawback of Nokia C5.

Experience live video: Nokia C5 is equipped with Real Player application for the video presentation. With this application, users can manage and enjoy the video at your convenience. Real Player interface is quite intuitive and eye makes video easy than ever. However, if you want to view DivX / XviD, installing additional applications from third-party movie is required by the Real Player does not support these formats.

Smart Gallery: The screen has good visibility, plus software intelligent image management, image browsing on Nokia C5 becomes extremely interesting. Thanks to the PC's processor speed is high (600MHz). tasks such as zooming, moving images ... become very smooth.

Photography and filming restrictions: Only equipped with a camera has a resolution of 3 megapixels, clear photography and filming is not the strengths of Nokia C5. Although equipped with features such as LED flash, auto-capture capability, night shooting, panorama shooting or continuous shooting, but the camera's resolution is not high, plus the lack of auto travel dynamic focus (autofocus), pictures taken by Nokia C5 only average quality.

Besides, the video features of the C5 also stop at the level of "entertainment" is the key. With only supports VGA video frame rate 15 fps, the C5 is only relevant video presentation on mobile devices small screen.

FM Radio: Most Nokia phones have an integrated FM radio and Nokia C5 is no exception. With eye-catching interface and easy to use, plus such features as automatic probe station, probe stations by hand, listen to radio via speaker etc. ..
