Nokia N97 Smart Phone A Truly Advanced Mobile Computer

Expected release in June of 2009, this should be the world’s most advanced mobile computer.

The N97 is the newest phone in Nokia’s line of products based on the S60 platform (5th Edition).

The target market for this phone is definitely the younger crowd who wants a modern, powerful phone but prefer features and capability to trendiness and brand name wow-factor.

It’s designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers and anyone is into gadgets, phones, or simply be someone who loves having the latest and greatest in the wireless market.

The large 3.5? touch screen display makes it very convenient to operate and with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard you can text all day long with ease. The screen resolution is 640 by 360 pixels, which is close to the resolution many full sized desktop computers were offering 10 years ago. It seems that touch screen smart phones are the current trend right now.

The Symbian OS-based smartphone also features a music and video player, a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and the internal memory is 32GB, and that comes standard on the phone. In addition to the internal space, expandable memory card slots can hold data cards of up to 16GB in size, to store music, photos, or videos. That’s a total storage limit of 48GB, which blows any other device clean out of the water.

The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of ’social location’. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their ’status’ and share their ’social location’ as well as related pictures or videos. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information. Integrated social networking utilities update your MySpace and Facebook information right from the main page. Nokia Maps is included as well, which gives you access to national and local maps whenever you need them.

As a phone with a sliding keyboard, it is a little thicker than phones that do not have a physical keyboard but it is directly comparable to the thickness of phones of the same type. It is less than 16 mm thick and does not seem too large or small in any way.

The fully functional integrated web browser can view practically any website that a desktop computer could; making it easy to surf the web, especially when using the Wi-Fi.

Packing the N97 smart phone with all these great features will make it one of the priciest mobile devices out there but as the saying goes “you get what you paid for”. With a tag of around $700 without a contract discount, Nokia N97 is perhaps the most expensive mainstream smart phone available.

 

The Nokia N97 will certainly be the flagship Smartphone of Nokia for quite a while.

Options for Mobile Computer Display Screens

You may have noticed that it becomes quite difficult to read from the laptop screen whenever you are in an open area with bright sunlight. Similarly, with your mobile computer also, you are unable to read from the screen. Usually mobile computers are designed to be used outdoors, so they should necessarily have displays that can be easily read in sunlight.

Plenty of computers are available with different features that make them compatible with sunlight readable display. Some computers have an outdoor display screen and others offer outdoor visibility. Many of them offer hi-bright and antiglare features while some have transflective sunlight readable display, which uses ambient light to control the brightness of the screen.

The hi-bright screens are considered to be the better option but they consume lot of battery power; thus for using hi-bright screen either you need a second of pair of batteries or high-capacity batteries.

Touchscreen displays are very popular to be used with rugged mobile computers. These are also available with tablet PC’s as they do not have a mouse and keyboard. Tablet PC’s use touch screens in various ways like figure touch or stylus that allows handwriting and signature capture through the screen itself.

These touch screens came in various sizes that ranges from big outdoor display to small mobile applications. This point must be kept in mind before finalizing any of the devices that uses touch screen. Resolution is another factor that widely affects your choice of screen. In devices with higher resolution, more pixels are displayed that can be shown on the monitor at once. While selecting any of these devices with display screen, you must be sure about the environment where it will be used.

This will help you to select the best application that suits your needs. In case you are using a hi-bright or anti-glare screen currently, then please let us know about the devices that you have and its features which you like the most.

Mobile & Computer Negative Effect on Health

1. Radiation

Numerous studies show that was done a bad cell phone radiation on the human body. For example increase the risk of ear tumors and brain cancer, a bad influence on brain tissue damage and reduce the sperm count up to 30 percent, resulting in a meningioma, acoustic neurinoma, acoustic melanoma, and salivary gland cancer. Unfortunately, none of six of the world’s largest mobile phone vendor to respond to the results of these studies. It’s okay to experts warned the danger of electromagnetic waves, but it almost always responded with a statement producer, “Safe-safe only.”

Although there is no certainty on the results of this study, research project leader Franz Adlkofer suggest preventive measures to encourage the use of cell phones only in emergencies only. That is, if all around you is a regular phone you should avoid using cell phones. Or, use a hands-free device whenever possible.

2. Reproductive Disorders

As a myth, but there is little data that says that the phone can provide an effect on male fertility. In fact, a study published in the medical journal, Fertility & Serility, examines the use of mobile phones by 361 men at a fertility clinic. The results show that the more a man uses his mobile phone, the lower the number, quality and durability of their sperm.

In October, reported a study conducted on animals found that rats who were given six hours of daily cellular phone emissions for 18 weeks had a greater tendency experienced the death of sperm compared with untreated mice. The researchers say the results can be believed to be carrying mobile phones close to the reproductive organs can give a negative effect on fertility.

3. Mouth Tumor

The use of phones in a long time and routine will increase the risk of tumor approximately 50 percent than those who did not use the phone.

The new study by Israeli scientists who research results published in the American Journal of Epidemiology states that at least 402 people have a tumor in the mouth is the condition, while the other 56 categories into malignant cancer. The study involved 1266 mobile phone users. Those who use mobile phones more than normal, or use in a long time and continually at risk of developing tumors in Parotid gland (salivary gland), which is located at the mouth with the ear position. Mobile phone users in rural areas or suburbs, where the phone to work harder to make contact with the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) nearby, at greater risk of tumors.

Mentioned study of electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones will continuously make the body cells overreact. But cell phone radiation level is used for this is still considered too small effect on the health and even to disrupt or damage the structure of DNA. Scientists are still continuing mystery of health effects of mobile phones on this.

However, negative impacts on the health of mobile phone technology, we can avoid using the handsfree to emit radiation in the mobile phone does not shine directly into the brain.

In addition to Mobile, computers are very much beneficial for society is today also have a negative impact of such disturbances often experienced as the body feels stiff, less fresh, visual impairment and rigid muscle movement causes negative effects for the health of our bodies. This is the negative impact caused by too long in front of the computer. Especially for practitioners in their daily business are required to constantly deal with technology, especially those who are involved in online business.

Negative impacts caused by computer technology there is also a negative impact on psychology and health.

The negative impact of the computer generated psychology, among others:

1. Anti Social

Anti-social attitudes and behavior are formed from exposure to program content of the media features that were created from this computer. One of the many features that adorn the contents of the computer software is a game. Both children, teens and adults use a computer to play their favorite game each. For instance students play sports games or war like counter strike (CS) which is a computer game. Usually they play their favorite game was on the sidelines of their activity when saturated or resting. Computer game provides many spices violence in it.

Based on experimental research in a book written by Andersen, computer games with violent content have the same level of exposure such as exposure to violence in television channel. Even a study shows that video games (video games) have a greater ability to make children become less sensitive to violence than any television or life experiences that intersect with violence.

2. Computer Anxiety (anxiety, fear of computers)

Fear of the computer is struck almost a third of the population of adult computer users. Some consequences of the most scary case against the computer is perceived nausea, vertigo, and broke into a sweat. The cause of their fear there are many things and one of them because of fears they will get a disaster by pressing the wrong key. In this case their fears associated with the level of privacy that can be penetrated because of their mistakes such as pressing the button image in internet spam. Other causes are feeling out of control felt by the people has no access to non-technical or technical skills on the computer when faced with complex technical systems and make it difficult.

3. Addiction to internet

Computer addiction can also create a tendency in all people who use computers. This feeling is to encourage people to continually use the computer like a person suffering from drug addiction. Feature that offers computer and accidentally formed just as the computer becomes a drug must be taken and if not taken will generate its own pain experienced by its users. Existing sites in the internet with the services and satisfaction can meet the needs of people who wear them. Game sites, interactive communication services to make computers become commodity technology that can not be separated from human life just as the existence of cell phones today. Pain makes people addicted to constantly use the computer experts say is an indication of the formation of media habits. And the deadly addiction can destroy human life.

While the negative effects on human health posed by computer technology are among others:

1. Radiation Monitor

Eyes are organs of the body most prone to illness due to work, because too often focus on the eyeball to the screen. Display screens are too bright hot colors like red, yellow, purple, orange will be more accelerated fatigue in the eye. Apart from that, the reflection of light (glare) on the display monitor that comes from other sources such as windows, lighting, etc., will increase the burden of the eye. Workspace lighting also affects the burden of the eye. (1.3) Use the monitor screen is not ergonomic can cause a complaint to the eye. Based on this research, 77% of users will experience a monitor screen at eye complaints, ranging from a sense of soreness and pain in the eyes, red eyes, watery eyes, to the irritation of the eyes of even the possibility of eye cataracts.

When the computer operator to use soft contact lens (lens of the eye), eye fatigue will be felt sooner, because the eyes are in a state of focus to the screen so that the ball will rarely blinks his eyes rapidly became dry and this causes friction between the lens and eyelids. Space-cooled (AC) would be more aggravating friction, because the air conditioned room air is dry so the tears would come to yawn. According to the research by the author, for a computer operator who works eight hours per day continuously, apparently out of the computer radiation (especially X-rays) is very low, approximately 0.01739 m Rem per year. This price is much lower than the radiation coming from cosmic rays and radiation from the earth (terresterial radiation) ranging 145 m Rem per year. While the radiation dose rate allowed for the general public is 500 m Rem per year

Lately, many sold glass monitor screen filter to filter the radiation that was promoted as an exit from komputer.kaca filters on the market are better suited as a filter glare (glare) from the light of computer screens, not as a radiation filter. (2)

2. Neural Disturbance

When this printer is the lowest noise laser printer system. High noise can affect the human nervous and this can result in fatigue and soreness. The noise limits are allowed to work for less than eight hours per day is 80 dB. Whereas the ideal working space is to the noise around 40-50 dB. If there is work in the space of the refrigeration (AC), then the noise will grow apart from the sound of the printer.

3. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

RSI is a term that refers to several variations of skeletal muscle complaints (musculoskeletal). This complaint concerns known to the muscle tendon pain. RSI covers the upper arm disorders associated with the work (the Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders) and overuse injuries associated with working (Occupational Injuries Overuse).

These complaints mainly suffered by the workers with a static sitting position when using a computer or using repetitive hand movements (repetitive) every day, a static workload (such as holding a mouse), allowing the arm bends, and the like in a long time. It will get worse if the workplace is not ergonomically designed, for example the position of the keyboard and the monitor that is too high or too low, the chair does not support the body to sit upright, and so forth.
This will get worse if the work environment plus the less mobile, less rest, containing high stress with deadlines and other regular reporting as well. Especially if you are a smoker, suffering from obesity (obesity), muscle weakness, have a hand that feels cold and lack of exercise. Read More: Mobile & Computer Negative Effect on Health
