Нова , мрачна , дори страшна реклама на Nokia N900 от Финландците.

Caricabatterie difettosi, Nokia ne ritira 14 milioni

Nota di Pao: Interessante sottolineare che la cinese Byd è impegnata nella progettazione, sviluppo e, ovviamente, produzione di batterie che saranno impegnate nelle auto elettriche. Se lavorano con questa cura, ci sarà da pensarci, prima di sedersi alla guida di un veicolo con le loro batterie..

E questa notizia fa il paio con quella pubblicata oggi, circa i passeggini per banbini, marcati Maclaren, ma fabbricati in Cina che hanno causato l’amputazione delle dita per alcuni bambini.

Sarebbe il caso di non considerare il costo di produzione come l’unico riferimento nella scelta di un fornitore…

Niente di cui preoccuparsi, dicono da Helsinki. Ma nel dubbio – siccome qualche rischio per l’utente potrebbe esserci – il colosso dei cellulari Nokia ha annunciato oggi che 14 milioni di caricabatterie devono essere ritirati dal mercato. Si tratta di quelli prodotti da un’azienda cinese, la Byd.

Nessuna lamentela o danni: “Stiamo intraprendendo questo programma di scambio come misura preventiva e precauzionale. Non siamo infatti a conoscenza di incidenti o casi di persone ferite”, ha detto il portavoce di Nokia, Doug Dawson. “La plastica che copre i caricabatterie in questione potrebbe allentarsi e staccarsi, scoprendo i componenti interni del caricatore e provocando un rischio potenziale di scossa elettrica se si toccassero certi componenti interni mentre il caricabatterie è inserito in una presa”.

I caricabatteria in questione sono i modelli AC-3E (gli unici venduti in Europa) e AC-3U, tutti fabbricati tra il 15 giugno e il 9 agosto, e gli AC-4U, prodotti tra il 13 aprile e il 25 ottobre. Non appena l’utente si dovesse accorgere di possedere uno di questi pezzi – come dice Nokia Italia, sono solo poche migliaia quelli distribuiti da noi – deve collegarsi al sito apposito oppure contattare il call center all’848.390.073. La sostituzione sarà immediata e gratuita. E i costi – circa un dollaro a pezzo per i fabbricanti – saranno ovviamente sostenuti dalla disattenta azienda cinese.

Trace Cell Phone Numberst

The art and skill of being able to trace cell phone numbers in the past had been left to private investigators and law enforcement agencies as well as police officers. But what are you supposed to do when you can’t hire a private detective or cop because you simply can’t afford to, but you still need to get this information?

Well, the answer to this question is actually very simple these days. Recent widespread use of the web and personal computers, has made it really easy and affordable for any person to do a reverse cell phone number look up online and avoid the need to hire a private
detective.

One of the greatest advantages that we have nowadays is the fact that over 98 per cent of all cell phones that have been issued, are gathered and organized in online directories and databases practically accessible by everyone. This means that is highly probable that the number that you are investigating will fall into the 98% category

El Nokia Booklet 3G, muy pronto en tiendas

No es la primera vez que hablamos del nuevo equipo netbook de Nokia, conocido como Booklet 3G. En los últimos meses ha dado bastante que hablar, pues se trata de la apuesta de Nokia para entrar en el mercado informático móvil, con un producto dotado de conectividad 3G, el cual va más allá de los modelos que hasta ahora el fabricante definía como Internet Computers (véase el propio N97).

Pues bien. Todo parece indicar que se ultiman los detalles para su comercialización en nuestro país. La semana que viene, la prensa especializada contará con las primeras unidades para poder evaluarlo, y desde finales del pasado mes de octubre, Nokia permite realizar una reserva del mismo, a un precio recomendado de 699 euros.

Recordemos que se trata de un equipo de 10,1 pulgadas con teclado QWERTY y con configuración de procesador Intel Atom. Su peso queda establecido en torno a los 1,25 kilogramos, con un grosor de apenas 2 centímetros. Entre los componentes a destacar cabe mencionar el módulo de comunicaciones inalámbricas WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS asistido, así como acceso a redes 3G mediante chip integrado.

Destaca que Nokia haya apostado por incluir el sistema operativo Windows 7, quizá para ofrecer una plataforma más abierta sobre la que puedan correr las aplicaciones típicas que manejan los usuarios. De este modo, Nokia se asegura un mayor éxito, en base a la gran aceptación que están teniendo los equipos Netbook que son comercializados con el nuevo sistema operativo.

Pienso que aunque Nokia haya desplegado diseño en su nuevo equipo, debe apresurarse y utilizar su gran experiencia para la comercialización, dado que el mercado de portátiles es tremendamente competitivo, y comenzamos a ver nuevos netbooks con pantalla táctil, que sacan mayor provecho de las posibilidades de Windows 7. La experiencia de manejo mejora considerablemente, y poco a poco iremos viendo novedades en las aplicaciones implementadas.
