New Netbook: Lenovo Ideapad S205s

New Lenovo IdeaPad S205s netbook with up to date 4G wireless technology and you aren’t too concerned with a 2-year contract stipulation, Sprint has got the deal that you want. The deal is for the Lenovo IdeaPad S205s.

Lenovo IdeaPad S205s has 3G and 4G WiMAX potential and costs just around $200 if you sign-up for the 2-year service plan. That is an incredible deal whatever way you slice it, and even with paying for the data plan you’re still getting a great deal on the netbook.

Full specs for the S205s include an 11.6-inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, 1.33 GHz Intel Pentium dual core U5600 processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and a 250GB hard drive. Software-wise, it comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. Fully charged, it holds  about five hours of battery life, so that’s plenty of time for many of your non-plugged in tasks.

And for those of you concerned about weight, it slides in at an easy 3.3 lbs. The S205 line came out in 2011 for $500 from Lenovo, but the new Sprint version has a slightly different makeup as it has an Intel processor and mobile broadband connectivity.

You should always consider data plan costs when purchasing a laptop/wireless combo, and this situation is no different. The cheapest data plan you can buy to get this deal is $49.99/month, so the full price tag for the whole two years is around $1,400. Maybe just a $299 netbook with wifi and 3G tethering will suffice.

2.000 RIM's workforce (11%) terminated

RIM 'to cut 2,000 jobs'. Research in Motion, the maker of BlackBerry phones, is preparing for a major restructuring that will see it eliminate at least 2,000 jobs worldwide from its roster of 16,500, Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper says. The newspaper cited several people close to the company saying that the next round is layoffs is planned for around Friday 1 June – a day before the smartphone maker's first financial quarter ends – though some expect the announcement even earlier. One source close to the company told Reuters that the impending layoffs could hit as many as 6,000 people and affect legal, marketing, sales, operations, and HR operations.

"The strategic question is: are you accelerating into a better future or shrinking to a niche operation?" said the source.

A string of high-level employees have departed RIM recently, including global head of sales Patrick Spence, who is set to take a senior job at networked audio company Sonos. Several sources close to the company told Reuters that RIM had been letting more junior staff go for several months in what has come to be known internally as "Goodbye Thursdays", because the cuts typically occurred on that day of the week.

A RIM spokeswoman contacted by Reuters declined to comment on the report. RIM and its new chief executive, Thorsten Heins, are struggling with what looks like a perfect storm of problems.

The BBX 10 software to power a new generation of BlackBerry phones is not expected until autumn, while existing users are abandoning BlackBerry phones for models from Apple or those using Android more quickly than new ones are coming aboard. Added to that, price competition – also driven by the burgeoning number of Android smartphones – is eroding the prices that RIM can charge, putting extra pressure on its finances.

And its PlayBook tablet, launched a year ago, has sold slowly while costing the company billions first in inventory and then in writedowns. As a result, RIM's stock has plummeted so that on Thursday it touched $10.59 (£6.75) – an eight-year low. Though it recovered to $11 on Friday, the company's value has dropped steadily from $60 in February 2011

A RIM spokeswoman pointed to comments that Heins and chief financial officer Brian Bidulka made on RIM's last earnings call about plans to streamline operations and save $1bn in the financial year. RIM reported a fourth-quarter loss in March, when the new chief executive announced the initial steps in a strategic overhaul. Heins took over from longtime co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie in January.

Horace Dediu, who runs the consultancy Asmyco, has repeatedly observed that mobile phone companies that fall into loss – even once – never recover their former position.

He restated the point on Sunday night on Twitter, pointing out that Motorola Mobility had become the latest to fulfil that trend after being acquired by Google. RIM has already been through one round of restructuring. Last July it announced plans to cut about 11% of its workforce, or 2,000 jobs.

Ice Cream Sandwich for Motorola Moto RAZR

Ice Cream Sandwich or Motorola Moto RAZR? We have all been waiting a long time to see how the latest version of Android, the Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, would look on the awesome Motorola Moto RAZR. But unless you have a leaked custom ROM already installed on it, you would not know. And if you have installed a leaked custom ROM, you would not know how the Motorola touch to Ice Cream Sandwich would look like on the device. But before all this, the wait for the official release of the Ice Cream Sandwich for the Motorola Droid RAZR was not scheduled to be any time soon. 

But thanks to the newly released timeline by Motorola, the smart phone is sure to get the Ice Cream Sandwich treat before the end of June for sure, that is before the end of the second quarter. If you think, even that is a lot of delay compared to other manufacturers in releasing the Ice Cream Sandwich update. But now that it is on its way, the joy for Motorola Droid RAZR owners who have not installed any custom ROM is uncontrollable. 

But how does the smart phone look after the update to Ice Cream Sandwich with the manufacturer’s Blur custom user interface on top of it? We are talking about Webtop 3.0, screenshots, the new lock screen, time lapse video, navigating around ICS, the browser, dialer, notifications, and more. Well, we seem to have got an introduction to that. The official Japanese Motorola Droid RAZR website has released a series of video on the website where it describes how the phone will function after the update to the new Ice Cream Sandwich, and also, the videos detail different features of the new operating system. A few of the videos uploaded are in Japanese, unfortunately, but a few others are in English. 

So you do not have to worry about not understanding anything at all. These videos will most probably be made in other languages as well by the time the update gets ready for seeding over the air. It is just a matter of time. So, are you excited?

Facebook traffic is up 78% since Instagram

Instagram saw a extraordinary increase to its visitors between the several weeks of April and Apr thanks to information of its Operating system app introduction and purchase by Facebook or myspace. But is it possible that Instagram performs a bigger image in Facebook's said venture into the of its own smartphone?

There’s one thing that Facebook or myspace can feature in the awaken of Zynga’s getting Sketch Something: Its getting Instagram just didn't result in the app’s loss of life. In fact, Instagram’s efficiency confirms its popularity in the photographic camera app industry. ComScore has unveiled that Instagram has been the top doing Internet property with visitors improving by a huge 78% between the several weeks of April and Apr 2012. That is great an all, but what does Facebook or myspace have organized for its acquisition? And what is its actual motivation?

Note that these comScore results are not a true sign of Instagram’s efficiency, as it only takes into account the cellular app’s Web existence. While its success would be best calculated by the variety of downloading and dynamic customers, it’s obvious that a variety of high-profile reports included into April’s leap. The long anticipated introduction of its Operating system program on Apr 3 started out the overflow gateways to an untrained industry of Operating system customers. And, of course, the last-minute $1 million getting Instagram by Facebook or myspace likely assisted as well.

While Apr was a considerable 30 days, we must not anticipate the same extraordinary development in the coming months; Instagram is currently looking forward to the Government Business Commission’s research into a possible anti-trust abuse by Facebook or myspace. The problem could take up to six several weeks to take care of. Most significantly, Facebook’s statement of its own Instagram competition, Facebook or myspace Camera, could cause problems for Instagram. Plus, as our visitors have indicated, Facebook or myspace may not have Instagram’s best interest in mind. Facebook’s concentrate on its products will stay on its Camera app, while Instagram may be ignored seeing as how it was most likely a individual purchase.

So where will Facebook’s Instagram customers be leveraged? While Instagram has expanded its users list to 50 thousand customers, Facebook’s said programs to obtain Safari, and its release of an app shop and Messenger app, signs us into Facebook’s causes for Instagram. While we thought that Facebook’s Camera app release may have been inspired by its inadequate NASDAQ starting, which to an level has advantage as a PR stop, Facebook’s reasons seems to run further that.

It’s not hard to understand that the public networking is looking to give some of its primary functions into cell cellphone programs we’ve mentioned before. But here is where we get risky. It’s entirely possible that while Facebook or myspace is gradually creating its cellular experience for customers with new Facebook or myspace labeled programs and improving its product existence on cell mobile phones, the company is gradually planning for its first horizontally incorporation via the said Facebook or myspace cellphone. After Facebook or myspace has perfectly designed and produced its primary package of Facebook or myspace specialist, while at the same time keeping products such as Instagram, we could anticipate these programs to be ported over to the Facebook or myspace cellphone, and shown as Facebook’s local programs. Thanks to Instagram that could mean the prospective for 50 thousand Facebook or myspace cellphone entrepreneurs. Or there can be always the opportunity that Instagram could be wrapped by Facebook or myspace Camera, although that may be a expand.

So if our rumors have a type of advantage, we’re going to see more cellular app products by Facebook or myspace as part of a calculated move into a horizontally company. After all, in its present state, Facebook or myspace is merely a public networking. To accomplish Google’s popularity and prestige, Facebook or myspace needs to grow its company and progress from its status as just a public networking.
