BlackBerry Bold 9700 Phone, Great Phone From a former iPhone & Android User http://switched.net/iphone-android/blackberry-bold-9700-phone-great-phone-from-a-former-iphone-android-user/ http://switched.net/iphone-android/blackberry-bold-9700-phone-great-phone-from-a-former-iphone-android-user/#respond Tue, 03 May 2011 19:46:22 +0000 http://switched.net/iphone-android/blackberry-bold-9700-phone-great-phone-from-a-former-iphone-android-user/ I was hesitant about purchasing this smart phone because I was never a fan of Blackberry's (RIMM).

I had a BB during their initial boom in the early part of the new millennium. However, the poor browser, poor cell phone network, lackluster screen color, non desirable keyboard, awful battery life, whack OS, & lack of T9 predictive text just couldn't win me over.

After I realized that I couldn't text on a touch screen phone, unless it was the iPhone. I decided that I must have a cell phone device with an actual qwerty keyboard, if I expect to survive my text message & email addiction. I picked up the Blackberry 9700 with my corporate discount and walked away with a nice high end phone at a very reasonable price. I have to say that I really enjoy the web browser on the new BB. You can zoom in & out with ease. I thought no browser could compare to the iPod Safari besides the Android G1, but after getting this device - I can safely say that this browser is also one of the best. Its right behind the safari and G1. Prior models were confined to small screens, thirty-five dollar internet only data plans, and no ability to zoom in or out. You were subjected to a small screen and reading small text till your eyes was squinting like grandmas.

Pros: 3G (FINALLY! AT LAST!) New Optical Trackpad (Over the old Trackball) Big vibrant screen 3.5 MM headjack New OS Decent call quality (No issues yet) Excellent new broswer Mini SD up to 16GB (Wish it was 32GB) Use your songs as ringers Wi-Fi Personal Email (Up to 10 accounts can be added) IM Themes Applications (Coming on April 1st) My Favs Full HTML Web Browser (Sometimes) Excellent Multimedia Player (Accepts every format possible) Includes 2 chargers (Wall Charger & USB charger) Includes ear phones and carry case Cons: For long time BB users, this device is really just a cosmetic upgrade with a new OS (Flashier Icons) Micro USB (No more Mini USB) Video & Camera (2.0 Megapixel as oppose to 5.0) Cheap plastic rubber casing Non RIMM Consumer Changes Mind! For anyone who has wanted a BB but held off on getting one and want an entry level Blackberry at a decent price - this is the model to get. Everything about it is an upgrade. The device is basically the BB Bold with a different casing. The battery life could still use some more juice. With excessive email checking & non stop texting, the phone usually needs a charge after a day and a half of usage (Sometimes i can go a charge for 2 days before a charge so thats not bad). I did set the brightness of the phone to the lowest brightness available and it has lasted for a little over 2 days with no charge needed. Even on the lowest brightness, the screen is still very bright, sharp, & crisp. And i still do unlimited texting & web browsing. However, AT&T doesn't offer the best mobile minute plans on earth & their data plan is probably one of themost expensive around. They are fully aware that their signal is one of the best & in doing so, make up for it by charging their non-friendly services at non-friendly prices, which usually doesn't offers an abundant amount of minutes, unlimited data, internet, email, text etc will end up costing you a lot! I pay under seventy bucks a month for a decent amount of mins & unlimited everything else. My friend has a similar plan on Verizon, its not unlimited, and her bill is always over a hundred each month.

ICanLocalize Offers Translation Dashboard For iPhone & Android Apps http://switched.net/iphone-android/icanlocalize-offers-translation-dashboard-for-iphone-android-apps/ http://switched.net/iphone-android/icanlocalize-offers-translation-dashboard-for-iphone-android-apps/#respond Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:40:51 +0000 http://switched.net/iphone-android/icanlocalize-offers-translation-dashboard-for-iphone-android-apps/ LAS VEGAS, NV – December 20, 2010 – ICanLocalize™, an innovative global provider of localization solutions, announces a translation management dashboard for mobile applications, including the Apple® iPhone and Google® Android.

ICanLocalize lets you bid out smaller translation jobs, typical of mobile apps, most cost-effectively. Reach a global audience by localizing mobile applications via the dashboard through the many certified translators and translation firms.

"Gowalla is about exploring the world around you. As such, we are passionate about opening this experience to users across the globe. Our first priority was to localize our iPhone, iPad, and Android clients for our major international markets. ICanLocalize made it really simple to scale this process to 3 clients and 6 languages. We were impressed by the level of professionalism and attention to detail of the localizers we worked with. As we expand into new platforms and markets, we will continue to use ICanLocalize to ensure truly world-class results," said Matt Thompson of Gowalla.

ICanLocalize's Software localization system easily translates mobile apps into any number of languages. This involves uploading the resource files, selecting certified translators and downloading the translated resource files. An app is translated along with its the app-store description. Payment is per-word, without any setup costs.

"Localization of a mobile app is a big challenge because of the large amount of small text," said Amir Helzer, CEO of ICanLocalize. "Our system connects developers with translators and implements a complete translation workflow that delivers top-notch translations without project management fees."

Text in mobile apps can easily go out of context and be misinterpreted. To address this, ICanLocalize developed a comprehensive translation process that includes:

Software developers set-up their own translation projects and manage them in ICanLocalize. They choose translators according to fields of expertise and background from the vast number of ICanLocalize translators. Clients can even upload existing translations and get review and proofreading from translators in ICanLocalize.

Most of ICanLocalize's iPhone and Android localization clients are mobile development houses, which create many mobile applications. The translation memoryfeature, built into the system makes translation fast and economical. Previously translated text is automatically completed and clients pay only for new or updated ones.

For more information, visit the ICanLocalize website for tutorials on the Android Localization and the iPhone Applications Localization Guide.

 

ICanLocalize develops software products and Web services that localize websites and applications, adapting these to local languages, scripts, and cultures. These offerings lower the cost and complexity of localization (i10n) and internationalization (i18n) activity for organizations.

The firm offers WPML, the WordPress multilingual plugin and the Drupal Translation Management module. These streamline the language translation workflow, with tools and services that manage translators and translation tasks.

Enterprise-level localization enablement from ICanLocalize speeds the creation and maintenance of multilingual websites and software. Find ICanLocalize on the web at http://wwwICanLocalize.com.
