    Trend Micro outs Titanium Cloud Edition Maxium Security 2012 – anti-virus, social network, mobile and cloud protection

    The internet is filled with bad, bad people. It’s a reality that everyone sometimes fails to forget until their credit card is used in fraudulent manner, or when someone hacks your Facebook account and professes your love for weird, socially unacceptable fetishes. Viruses and malware are continually evolving, and protecting yourself online has become more important than ever.

    Trend Micro understands this problem well, and have released their Titanium Cloud Edition Maxium Security 2012 anti-virus software. The new offering from the company promises to protect your PC from traditional threats, as well as protect your Facebook account from getting infected and taken over via socially engineered threats. Tend Micro’s Titanium Cloud Edition Maxium Security 2012 has a tool that visually identifies safe and malicious links on social networking sites like Facebook and twitter, and has integrated protection for Android based mobile device like tablets and smartphones. Trend Micro’s protection for Android devices isn’t limited to preventing malicious software from coming in however, as the the new software has the ability to remotely ring your phone if you misplaced it and wipe it clean of data when retrieving it is no longer an option.

    Trend Micro is offering different SKUs for the Titanium Cloud Edition Maxium Security 2012, though their reps couldn’t give us a straight out answer of how much it’ll be or what the SKUs would be. We’ve confirmed two SKUs for the software, one 1 year subscription that protects 1 PC and 1 mobile device and a 1 year, 3 PC and 3 mobile device that will retail for 40-50 USD.

    Video of ASUS Transformer Prime running on ICS spotted, flawless 1080p playback

    We’re salivating with anticipation of what ASUS’ latest tablet, the Transformer Prime will bring to the table once it launches in December (in the US, at least). We’ve seen the teaser video, poured over the specs and now, we’re seeing how Ice Cream Sandwich integrates into the whole thing via NVIDIA’s short teaser video of the device 2 days after the source code was publicly available. Watching the video, you can really see how snappy the whole experience is, especially when the presenter starts the Tegra 3 optimized game, Riptide. The water effects are extremely pretty, and if we didn’t know it was running on a tablet, we’d swear the video was being run by a desktop. You can catch the whole video demo below.

    Review: Samsung Galaxy Note

    In a world of ever increasing screen sizes, what size is too big? We used to think that a smartphone that had a screen of 3.7-inches was plenty big, but now a 4.3-incher like the Samsung Galaxy S II or the HTC Sensation XE is considered normal. That was the question running through our minds when we were reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Note, a massive behemoth of a smartphone that dwarfed everything we’ve used before it in sheer screen size. But does size really matter?

    Curiously enough, the Note isn’t the first smartphone to traverse the it-might-be-too-big-to-be-a-smartphone category – no, that dubious honor falls to the original Dell Streak with – less than stellar results. It’ll be interesting to see how the Note stacks up because like it or not, it’s treading the same waters that the Streak did almost a year ago.

    Not that the Note doesn’t have a chance of survival. Far from it – the Note, externally is very pretty in its simple, elegant way. To be honest, it looks quite a lot like another member of the Galaxy family, the S II, and that’s not a bad thing. There are few controls scattered about in the device – a volume rocker on the left side, a power/unlock button on the right and a back button on the bottom that’s flanked by two backlit touch sensitive keys. Like any self respecting smartphone, the Note has an 8 megapixel camera on the back, along with a smaller front facing camera near the top of the device. The Note also has a stylus that’s stored on the bottom left on the back of the device, near the speaker grille.

    Possibly the first thing that people will notice about the note is its huge screen. The 5.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen is simply gorgeous. The screen is the reason for the Note’s 146.9 x 83 size, but Samsung being the company that they are, managed to trim the note’s overall thickness to just 9.7mm. Internally, you’re looking at a dual-core 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a Mali-400MP GPU. A customary glance at the Galaxy S II’s processor tells us that the Note is 200 MHz faster than its smaller smartphone brother. Other specs include 16GB/32GB storage and about 1 GB of RAM. As expected, the Note is packing Android 2.3.5 from the outset, and will no doubt get the ICS treatment later on.

    Like any other implementation of Android, Samsung has infused the Note with its own TouchWiz interface. We’ve seen it before on the Galaxy S II and the Tab 10.1, and as always the apps and widgets it brings to the table is a welcome addition to the Android experience we’ve known and loved.

    So what does the note bring to the table (aside from a humongous screen)? Well, the included capacitive pen dubbed the S Pen, allows you to do a couple of things. One, it makes it possible for you to just jot down notes during meetings via the built-in handwriting recognition software.

    The same software also allows you to answer text messages using the pen, something that old school Palm Pilot users might appreciate. The pen also makes it possible for you to doodle sketches during meetings, which is especially important for creatives when dealing and talking to their clients.

    Speaking of screen, we can’t say enough good things about the display on this device. Aside from being absolutely huge, it makes viewing web pages a pleasurable experience. No more settling for mobile versions of websites – with the Note, it’s entirely possible to render a webpage just as the designers intended it. The Super AMOLED touchscreen is simply beautiful to look at, and with a resolution of 800 x 1280, the resolution of the images you’ll be seeing on it will be the same if you were viewing it from a full-size notebook.

    When it comes to performance, the Note doesn’t disappoint. It’s able to power through most apps that we used it with without any issues, and it’s completely at home with multitasking. As always, our synthetic benchmark of choice was AnTuTu, and as expected, the Note scored extremely high marks at 6348, beating out the Galaxy S II and the recently launched Galaxy Nexus.

    Battery life was astounding. One of the biggest perks to having a big frame is that there’s a lot more room to squeeze a battery in and Samsung has managed to cram a huge 2500mAh battery in there. Combine that with the energy efficient Super AMOLED display, and you get a rock solid battery life of 9 hours with near-constant use, which would probably last you more than a day and a half with moderate use. Call quality was good, and we never experienced a dropped call while using the device. One of the things that the Note does inherit from the Galaxy S II that we didn’t like was the flimsy battery cover – we’ve seen how easy that thing was to damage, and it’s probably safe to assume the same is true for the Note’s cover.

    Possibly the biggest issue people will have with the Note is it’s sheer size. It’s a heck of a lot of phone to grab with a single hand, and even with our larger than normal hands, our thumbs had a bit of trouble getting from one edge of the screen and back. People with dainty hands are almost guaranteed to use this device two handed. The size of the device also means that you’d want to get a decent Bluetooth device for it, unless you want to look foolish when handling voice calls.

    Of course, all of that screen real estate and cutting edge speed means one thing: the Galaxy Note demands a premium price. Retailing at Php 35,990, it’s definitely not cheap. But we think the performance, battery life and utility that the Samsung Galaxy Note brings to the table is well worth the price of admission.

    What’s Hot:
    Fast processor
    Extremely large screen
    Excellent battery endurance
    S Pen gives creative types more options

    What’s Not:
    Expensive
    Large screen is difficult to use for people with small hands

    Bottomline:
    The Samsung Galaxy Note might be expensive, but you’ll definitely be getting your money’s worth.

    Locally made Starstruck Android game makes you enjoy hitting telenovela starlets

    There was an obscure game that we played before called Rose and Camilla that consisted of you bitch-slapping the hell out of your fiance’s female family members (put your pitchforks down, you play a woman in it) and we have to tell you, it was a blast to play.

    So when local dev Komikasi Enterprises gave us a heads up that their take on the female slapping genre, Starstruck, was finally making its debut in the Android market, we couldn’t resist featuring it here. The game plays out like Rose and Camilla, but instead of playing the bride-to-be, you’re the underdog artista that’s being bullied by the surly kontrabida. The game pokes fun at the telenovelas that are currently plying the local airwaves, and you get to slap actresses named Jholenz Magpantal and Trudy Ann De los Santos.

    The game is available for free, with the team at Komikasi saying that the full version will ship with a bit more features via the “Chorva mode” which include the ability to create your own artista, unlockable characters and a survival mode. The game will drop on the Android and iOS marketplace this December.

    Review: HTC Sensation XE

    When HTC made a “substantial investment” in Beats, we knew that the Taiwanese firm wanted a piece of the music phone pie.  Unsurprisingly, their first Beats Audio branded device is a remake of one of their best selling units, the HTC Sensation. We loved the original when it came out, but does a speed bump and branded audio warrant a re-issue along with a premium price tag?


    The Sensation XE is a virtual twin of the original. If you’re not familiar with the external specs, let us remind you – 4.3-inch capacitive S-LCD screen (540 x 960 pixel resolution), unibody aluminum construction, 8 megapixel camera. The only thing that’s changed externally is the red accents on the front of the device (along with the red LED backlight on the touch sensitive buttons along the bottom of screen) and the Beats logo on the back. The unchanged externals aren’t a bad thing mind – the Sensation got it right the first time, so why mess with a proven formula?

    Internally, the XE gets a bit of a speed bump, and gets a slight increase of 300 MHz from the original’s 1.2 GHz to the XE’s 1.5 GHz. The XE still uses the same processor and GPU as the original (Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm MSM 8260 Snapdragon) so we assume that HTC has either overclocked the processor to reach 1.5 GHz or the original Sensation was slightly underclocked to conserve battery life. Speaking of battery, the XE gets a slightly higher rated battery (1730 mAh compared to the original’s 1520 mAh) to deal with the increased processor speed.

    What really sets the Sensation XE apart from its older sibling and all other smartphones is the Beats Audio that comes with it. It’s implemented via two components – one is the Beats Audio enhancement software that’s in the phone itself, and the other is via the bundled Beats branded in-ear headphones that come with the device.

    Beats Audio, for the uninitiated, is a line of audio speakers and headphones created by Dr. Dre and a former Geffen records executive. HTC promises that Beats Audio delivers the music “the way the artist intended” and to be honest, we agree with them. The sound quality is just so much better with the included software and the headphones that come with it. Some may find that the whole Beats Audio experience is a bit too bassy for their tastes but considering the quality of the sound, it’s a minor complaint.

    The headphones themselves are pretty nice too, and are constructed out of aluminum. These are basically rebranded iBeats cans with in-line controls, which when bought seperately, are about Php 7000. There are also a couple of different sized earbuds when you buy the Sensation XE, so you’ll definitely get the best fit for your ear.

    As with all hi-end HTC devices, the Sensation XE comes with its own Sense UI 3.0 overlay. There’s a bunch of things that Sense 3.0 brings to the table from widgets to additional functionality and the ability to remotely ring and lock your phone (as long as it’s connected to the internet via a data connection).

    We were curious to see how the Sensation XE stacked up against its competitors when it came to benchmarks, as the original Sensation had trouble stacking up against the de facto king of dual-core smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S II. This time round the Sensation XE managed to at least make it close to the S II’s score in AnTuTu, nabbing 5558 points, about a thousand points higher than the original did.

    Of course synthetic benchmarks will also be a rough indicator of true performance, and in this case the score the XE got was well deserved. The device never slowed down during its time with us, and was always able to handle everything we threw at it. Even with multiple apps open, the XE powered through them like a champ, and we never experienced it crash even once.

    With the increased clock speed of the device, we naturally wondered how long the XE would last on a single charge. Unsurprisingly, the XE’s battery endurance is similar to the original Sensation, in that a day’s worth of moderate use (internet, music, calls and messaging) drains the battery to almost nil at the end of the day.

    Probably the only nitpick I have is with the included Beats Audio cans, or rather, the finish on them. After a few days of use, there was already serious wear and tear on the anodized finish which isn’t something you’d expect from a pair of headphones that demands a hefty premium.

    The question is, should you buy the Sensation XE? Well, it depends entirely on you. Some have said that the Sensation XE’s included headphones and Beats Audio software is merely a marketing gimmick to get you to drop cash on it, and claim they can get the same experience by buying a decent pair of cans and downloading good EQ software for their smartphone. While that’s totally possible, if you’re just a regular Joe that wants a good music playing smartphone with a decent set of cans (and don’t already own the original Sensation) then buying the Sensation XE might seem like a good idea. The Sensation XE retails for Php 31,500.

     

    What’s Hot:

    Faster processor than the original

    Bigger battery

    Included Beats Audio cans

    Sense 3.0

     

    What’s Not:

    Anodized finish on the headphones wears out easily

    Expensive

     

    Bottomline:

    The HTC Sensation XE is a good choice for people who like musicphones and don’t already own the original Sensation.

    Will there really be a Facebook phone named Buffy?

    After spending years of being at the heart of your lives, Facebook is gearing up to be at the heart of a smartphone. And the project is code-named Buffy.

    Yep, you heard it right. Buffy. And yes, its named after the vampire slayer.

    AllthingsD reports that the Facebook phone will have a modded version of Android with social networking functionality as its central focus. Rumors also state that it will support HTML5 as an app platform, and will be manufactured by Taiwanese company HTC, since deals with Samsung didn’t push through.

    The move to mobile is an intelligent yet long-awaited (perhaps too late?) shift on Facebook’s part, and it’s actually quite “baffling” as to why they haven’t traveled down this path sooner, especially since the company reports they have “350million active mobile users”.

    Yes, Facebook has its apps, and has produced half-hearted attempts such as the HTC Cha-Cha, but these don’t really present a “tight” integration between social and smartphone. Granted, they have to compete with Google and Apple, which is by no means any easy feat.

    But the question remains: will you really grab a Facebook phone? Even if it isn’t called Buffy?

    I don’t know about you, but I think I’d rather have the real Buffy in  my pocket.

    SMART rolls out LTE closed beta test, promises speeds up to 42 Mbps

    We’re fresh from Smart’s Jump Experience Center in Megamall where the telco just handed the first units of their Smart Evolution LTE dongles to select beta participants. The beta test aims to help Smart stress test their current LTE infrastructure so they’ll be able to spot trouble areas early and hopefully address those issues before the eventual commercial roll-out sometime next year.

    LTE if you’re not familiar, represents the next evolution of cellular technology and promises speeds greater than 50 Mbps on mobile devices. Smart’s initial widespread beta test (there was another one earlier this year in Boracay) is going to be powered by a Huawei E392 LTE USB dongle that’s theoretically capable of 42 Mbps. Smart tells us that they’re initially targeting select areas for the beta test, which include some prominent areas such as Makati, UP Diliman, Ateneo, Xavierville and SM MoA. Unfortunately, our home office based in West Triangle QC was not included in the initial sites that had LTE, but Smart assured us that they’d be putting up additional towers for better coverage as the beta goes on.

    The LTE dongle itself is pretty big, and is definitely bigger than the other USB dongles we’ve used in the past. There’s provisions on the sides to access the microSD and SIM slot. Speaking of SIMs, Smart has provided us with a specially provisioned SIM card to use with the dongle, which is capped at 50 GB per month.

    We tried our hardest to pry final product availability and pricing information from Smart execs present during the event, but alas, they couldn’t give us a solid timeframe when the service is going to roll out commercially, or how much it was going to charge for it, aside from saying that it’s a premium service and will be priced accordingly. But the fact that they’re opening up the beta test to about 130 select people means that they’re possibly gearing up for a commercial launch soon, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the company does a launch for it on the second quarter of next year.

    Unfortunately though, the Smart team ran into a bit of snag when we tried the unit on our own netbook during the event (it is still a beta test, after all) and we weren’t able to make it run properly there. As we mentioned earlier, our office (where we’re writing this) isn’t covered by LTE, so we’ll be using the dongle for HSPA+ for now. We’ll be reporting our speeds and our experience with the device as the weeks go by, so stand by for updates. For now, we’ll leave you with a lovely screenshot of another notebook that was running a far faster LTE dongle.

    Why “doing it yourself” takes skill and SKIL [power tools]

    Bosch, together with leading basketball coach and endorser Norman Black, unveil the new line of Skil power tools at the Phil Construct 2011. (L-R): Ken Vista (Key Account Executive), Marie Faller (Trade Services), Ronald Ipapo (Sales Representative), Norman Black, Jan Natividad (Sales Representative), Gary Dumas (Business Developer), Roy Tabada (Sales Channel Manager), Kristina Reyes (Corp. Communications Manager)

    …

    Bosch recently showcased its new portfolio of high-performance Skil power tools and accessories at the Phil Construct 2011 held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The Skil power tools were designed for demanding professionals in the local construction market.  “The Philippine market has been benefitting from a boom from a variety of industries – be it export, construction or manufacturing. Bosch power tools is committed to meet these demands by introducing new and innovative tools that meet the increasing demand of the Filipino Power Tool user”, said Jam Go, Country Sales Director of Bosch Power Tools in the Philippines.

    The trade show featured a roster of exciting events including a fashion show, where models sashayed down the runway, showcasing the range of new Bosch and Skil products. Guests were given a firsthand experience of a variety of Bosch tools fit for professional use — from high-precision impact drills to portable jackhammers, to circular saws and high-pressure washers. Combining durability, safety and power, the lineup of Bosch and Skil power tools help users perform a wide range of home projects from basic drilling and cutting to more complex building projects. Another event highlight was the presence of top basketball coach and Skil power tools endorser Norman Black. Attendees engaged with the coach in a mini-basketball shooting showdown and participated in a high-octane drill challenge later that day.

    Besides being the current Ateneo de Manila varsity and 4-peat playing coach, Black is also a DIY enthusiast, doing repairs at home: “I used to hire people, but fortunately for me (by using Skil tools) I’m now able to get things done in the house without having to call contractors.” He trusts in the reliability that Skil power tools provide when he does his home projects. And now with Skil, reliability and reputation also come coupled with cost-efficiency. “I’ve been familiar with the Bosch name since I was a little kid. I think anybody who’s into building or repairing knows that reliability is the number one thing when you talk about tools. With reliability the Bosch name has become a household name over the years.” he said. Bosch’s presence in this year’s Phil Construct is proof of the company’s strong commitment to deliver superior quality tools to its consumers. Builders, from professionals to home users, will positively find a fitting Bosch Skil tool for their construction needs – big or small.
