<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the 411, my column answering all your questions about cell phones and cell phone accessories. I receive plenty of questions about these subjects via e-mail, so I figured many of you might have similar queries, too. At times, I might solicit answers from readers if I'm stumped. Send your questions and comments to me at nicole.lee@cnet.com. If you prefer to remain anonymous, let me know in the e-mail.Question: I've never had a cell phone in my life. I know that's hard to believe! But I just never saw the need for one -- landlines have been just fine for me. I don't need to be in constant contact all the time. Recently though, I've received some pressure to get one. I just feel like I really don't need it, but maybe a temporary one is ok. Is there maybe a phone I can get that I can only use every once in awhile, that doesn't require a plan Thanks! -- Beau, via email.This might come as a shocker coming from a cell phone reviewer, but I don't necessarily think everyone in the world must get a cell phone. If your lifestyle is such that you don't need it, I don't see the problem of not having one. However, it does make life a lot more convenient, and it tends to be cheaper if you make a lot of mobile-to-mobile or long-distance calls.You can get cheap and disposable phones if you want something temporary, especially if you go the prepaid route. Virgin Mobile's payLo service, for example, offers cheap $15 phones and the basic service only costs $20 for 400 minutes. If you lapse payment, however, it's likely that your phone number will expire, so you might have to keep reupping every month or so to keep the number alive. But if you really only need a phone every once in awhile -- like on vacations -- then maybe you don't care so much about changing your number. Readers, please let us know of other alternatives that Beau can consider.I'm ready to finally get my first smartphone! I took a look at your list of smartphones for first-time buyers, and I'm so confused as to which to pick! I use Google for email and calendar, but I also own aMac and I use iTunes for music and podcasts. Is theiPhone good for me Will I miss a keyboard -- should I get a Sidekick instead Help! -- Rand, via email.Welcome, Rand, to the confusing world of smartphones! Yes, there are many different types of handsets to choose from and it can get quite daunting. You should of course ask yourself what you would use your smartphone for. If it's primarily for music and podcasts from your iTunes account, an iPhone seems like a good choice. iOS has also had a good track record for being newbie-friendly.But Android isn't that difficult to grasp either, and you can always use other programs like DoubleTwist to sync music, or a third-party app to handle podcasts. If you like Google services,Android phones also tend to be a better fit, but iPhones can get email and calendar information from Google too. It all comes down to testing the phone out in the store and getting a feel for the interface and operating system. That's also my advice for physical versus virtual keyboards -- yes, virtual keyboards do take some acclimation, but today's autocorrect software make most typos and mistakes a thing of the past. Try out in the store for awhile, and if you buy one, don't be afraid to return it if it's not right for you. Good luck! If I have an iPhone, and I want to get a tablet, am I obligated to get the iPad I figure it might make more sense to get an Android tablet instead, just to get the &quot;best of both worlds&quot; experience. What do you think -- Ming, via email. No, of course you're not obligated to get the iPad if you already have an iPhone. You're free to use any tablet you wish! I know a few people who are just like you -- they have an Android OS on one device, and iOS on another. The only potential downside is that you can't take advantage of apps that can be used on both the tablet and the phone, or apps that &quot;speak&quot; from one device to the other. Another point to consider is that you are probably already familiar with the iPad interface from using the iPhone -- the Android OS might take a bit more of a learning curve. But these are minor considerations if you're relatively tech savvy. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you, on your lesser days, could reach for a thinking cap to make you a little brainier, what would you expectWould you expect to solve math problems quicker Would you imagine that complex scientific puzzlers would suddenly seem like simple amusements Or would you expect to be able to paint a convincing forgery of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in your three-bedroom ranch houseI ask because a professor in Sydney, Australia, has created a &quot;thinking cap&quot; and thinks he has the answers to the above questions.According to AFP, Professor Allan Snyder has been testing his invention on 60 participants, who were, no doubt, hopeful of new brain power.What he discovered is that his little rubber strap with two conductors attached helped subjects perform very well when it came to a simple math problem. In fact, they performed better than those whose heads weren't festooned with what looks like a prop from a &quot;Star Trek&quot; episode.The thinking cap, first revealed in 2008, works by passing low levels of electricity through the brain, while suppressing its left side.In this way, your more original, right side, functions at a higher level.Professor Snyder told AFP that the device could come in handy &quot;if you wanted to look at the world, just briefly, with a child's view, if you wanted to look outside the box.&quot;Originally, the professor studied accident victims who suddenly burst out with creativity, and unusually gifted beings not dissimilar to Dustin Hoffman's character in &quot;Rain Man.&quot;What he discovered led him to create a device that suppresses your current knowledge bank in order to free your creative impulses.While he is confident that this thinking cap can truly work, he struggles with explaining how, exactly, it does. In fact, he reportedly believes he is a long way from being able to explain it.Perhaps he just needs to create a better thinking cap for himself, in order to explain how his thinking cap works. In the meantime, as you will see from the video I have embedded, Professor Snyder himself always seems to wear a cap. And oh how he wears it.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:CNET)According to a recent study by IDC, theiPad has definitively dominated thetablet market, accounting for almost 90 percent of tablets shipped worldwide in the third quarter of 2010. It stands to reason that fourth-quarter results will probably be even higher after our big holiday season. Now that many of the early naysayers have come around to the larger iOS device, I have to think the launch of the iPad 2 in April will be leaps and bounds more successful right out of the gate.I got the first-generation iPad when it came out for obvious reasons, and probably won't be buying the new iPad personally at launch time (though we will certainly have them here at CNET for testing). But what about you Are you one of those who decided to wait for the second-generation iPadAs usual, Apple is not telling us much about its shiny new device, but there have been plenty of rumors regarding a higher-resolution screen, front- and rear-facing cameras, and much more at the various rumor sites.I'm interested to see who is planning to pull the trigger on the new iPad in April. Let us know your plans in the comments.This week's apps include a strange interactive story-telling app and a shooting game that cleverly uses theiPhone 4's gyroscope technology. Each time you press the screen you&amp;39'll reveal more of the story in Story Mode.(Credit:Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET) Strange Rain is pretty hard to describe without actually playing with it, but it's so unique I couldn't help but talk about it here. The primary function of the app is to give you a break from your hectic life by displaying a mesmerizing scene of rain falling from the sky. The iPhone screen acts as a skylight so you're looking straight up as rain drops fall and hit the screen. You can slightly affect the raindrops as they fall by touching the screen and moving your iPhone, and tinkly music from a haunting melody plays amid soothing storm sounds, every time you touch it. As you can probably tell, there's a good reason why &quot;Strange&quot; is in the name of this app. Strange Rain is not just a rain simulator, though. It has three different modes to play with, including the Wordless mode that simply displays the drops falling from the sky and lets you touch the screen and move your iPhone to affect their trajectory. Whisper Mode is mostly the same, but sometimes when you touch the screen you'll see rain-related words spelled out. The third and most interesting mode is Story Mode, in which a story plays out through the thoughts of a protagonist, which are printed onscreen in bits and pieces. The more you touch the screen, the more of the story you'll learn as the rain continues to fall from the sky. The other interesting thing about Strange Rain is that it gets incrementally weirder after each play-through of the haunting melody--airplanes will fly overhead, clouds will change formations, and more. If ever you want to reset to the beginning, you can touch the screen repeatedly with all your fingers causing a falling-through-the-sky effect. Needless to say, this app is truly unique. Overall, Strange Rain is a relaxing diversion even if it is a bit odd. I was quickly mesmerized by the Story Mode and I have to admit the rain sounds and droplets did have a relaxing effect. If you have any interest in a new way to tell an interactive story, this unique app might be right up your alley. Make sure to line up your shot before you pull the trigger.(Credit:Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET) Clay Shooter Mania (99 cents) is a clay-pigeon shooting game that uses the iPhone 4 accelerometer and gyroscope features to make for a unique gaming experience, but you're going to need room to move around to play it. One of the more amazing features of the iPhone 4 when it came out was the gyroscope feature that enabled users to move the device and view an object as though the iPhone screen were a window into a different world. There have only been a few apps so far at the iTunes App Store that take advantage of this feature (Eliminate: GunRange, for example). Clay Shooter Mania lets you shoot clay pigeons with a shotgun and uses gyroscope technology to give you a window into its target-shooting world. When a clay pigeon is launched into the air (Pull!), use the 3D radar in the upper right to determine which way you'll need to turn the iPhone (and your body) to take the shot. As you progress through levels, you'll be challenged to hit more clay pigeons in one pull, and some variations fly faster than others. Fortunately, you can use a bullet-time-like option that slows down the action for particularly difficult shots. Later, you can unlock the machine gun, which lets you hit more targets faster. Clay Shooter Mania is a fun game when you have some space to play, but is not a good game (for obvious reasons) during your commute or really anywhere you're in a tight space. If you'd like to try a game that makes great use of the iPhone 4's gyroscope features or if you are a skeet-shooting fan, you should definitely check out this game. What's your favorite iPhone app Are you fascinated by the possibilities of interactive storytelling like in Strange Rain Are you the type of person who would stand in the middle of your bus commute shooting clay pigeons on your iPhone Let me know in the comments! <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[BlackBerry OS 6(Credit:RIM)Research In Motion has been butting heads with foreign governments over its tight security, but its latest BlackBerry 6 OS has won approval from the U.S. government for those same standards.RIM announced today that its BlackBerry 6 operating system is now FIPS 140-2 certified. FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) is a series of standards set up by the U.S. government to ensure that computer products meet certain high-level security requirements. The standard is used by government agencies, regulated industries, and other organizations that store and send data dealing with sensitive information.The FIPS 140-2 standard (PDF) specifically addresses cryptographic modules, which cover both hardware and software designed to secure and protect data.&quot;This FIPS certification (PDF) will help extend the reach of BlackBerry 6 to users in a wide range of government agencies and other security-conscious organizations in the U.S.,&quot; Scott Totzke, vice president of the BlackBerry Security Group at RIM, said in a statement. &quot;BlackBerry 6 offers an exceptional mobile experience for BlackBerry smartphone users on the most secure wireless platform in the industry.&quot;The FIPS certification is important and special for a mobile device company like RIM, according to IDC Mobile Device analyst William Stofega, who told CNET that any type of security certification from the government is highly vetted and not just given to anyone. Other security-oriented companies do receive this type of certification, but very few mobile device makers are on the list. The FIPS certification is validation of RIM's superiority in the area of security, according to Stofega, a key requirement for government.&quot;Government is one of the big buyers of technology,&quot; Stofega said. &quot;That's a big part of where a lot of these companies, both tech and tech-related, get there business from.&quot;And with RIM being an international player serving multiple global partners and governments, security certification is important among businesses as more users bring their mobile devices into the enterprise. Attaining this level of certification is no small feat either, according to Stofega, who said he believes RIM had to work with the National Security Agency as part of the effort.Making its debut on RIM's Torch smartphone earlier this year, BlackBerry 6 is also available on the BlackBerry Bold and Style phones and can run on other RIM smartphones as well.Ironically, the tight, encrypted security used by RIM on its BlackBerry devices and network has been a sore point among various governments, which have argued that such encryption prevents them from accessing and monitoring that data for national security reasons. RIM has been struggling to work out compromises with the United Arab Emirates, India, and Saudi Arabia that would avoid permanent bans of BlackBerry service throughout those nations.RIM has certainly taken a lot of flack for its tight security among these countries, said Stofega. But security is one of the company's core features, and users in foreign countries like the device, he noted. As a result, the attitudes among these governments over security encryption could end up pushing away business.&quot;If some of these emerging markets or growth markets don't start to adapt these security features, it's a big problem,&quot; said Stofega. &quot;A lot of them have governmental interests in terms of wiretapping and other things. But more importantly, if you're a corporation, you don't want your intellectual property being leaked out all over the place.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As any scientist can tell you, there are thousands of scholarly journals out there. Some, like Science and Nature, are broad in scope, covering everything from human genetics to space. Others, like the Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology, are a bit more specific. Unfortunately, the huge volume of research that gets published can made it tedious to keep track of the articles that are relevant to you.a4sAcademia.edu, a social network for researchers and other academics, thinks it has a fix.Now, journal articles aren&amp;'t exactly hard to come by on the web. You can always search Google Scholar for whatever you&amp;'re looking for, some universities offer their own search tools, and there are plenty of topic-specific sites that can help you find relevant material. The problem, according to Academia.edu founder Richard Price, is that this content and the communities around them are very fragmented. So Academia.edu built a directory of as many journals as it could find.The feature is pretty straightforward: head to Academia.edu, and you can browse through over 12,500 journals sorted by topic (here&amp;'s a listing of publications related to biology). You can opt to &amp;8216'follow&amp;' your favorite publications, and relevant stories will start popping up in your Academia.edu news feed, so you don&amp;'t have to worry about looking them up yourself every month. Price also says that this feature ranks journals by how many followers it has, which could be used to gauge how influential (or at least, how popular) a given journal is.It&amp;'s worth noting that many of these journal articles are not free' you&amp;'ll either have to pay for them (fees are often around $20-40), or you&amp;'ll have to be accessing them from a university campus that pays for a subscription to the periodical in question. This shouldn&amp;'t be a major problem for many of academia.edu&amp;'s users though, as they tend to be professors or dedicated researchers who have access to campus logins. a4s It&amp;'s also worth noting that a UK site called Tictocs has built a database of journals, though Price says that the site doesn&amp;'t have a social graph component.In other Academia news, Price says traffic has picked up significantly since last summer, and that the service is now up to 830,000 monthly uniques.CrunchBase InformationAcademia.eduInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Google Map App on Android phones will soon get a major upgrade which will allow it to render map images a lot faster, incorporate 3D buildings, offer offline caching, and use the compass to orient the map.  In a talk this evening at the D Mobile conference, Android chief Andy Rubin gave a sneak peak of the new app.At the heart of the new app is a dynamic map rendering engine which draws maps as you use them, and offers smoother transitions when zooming in and out of different levels.  The dynamic rendering will also make it possible to start to show 3D buildings as you zoom into the street-level view.  The touch screen will allow you to tilt and rotate the map and buildings.The new maps load faster because they require 100 times less data each.  Instead of downloading the entire map image for each level, the app downloads meta data which describes the entire map at all different levels and then renders the appropriate sector on the fly.  This will start to give Google Maps offline capabilities on mobile phones.  It may be possible to cache a map of an entire city on the phone.  And for people who use the turn-by-turn navigation in Google Maps, when the new app comes out it will be able to recalculate the route even without a data connection.The Google Maps app will also use the built-in compass on Android phones to automatically flip the orientation of the map to the person holding the phone.  That orientation feature will come in handy when you are coming out of a subway station in an unfamiliar stop, or exiting a building.

<description><![CDATA[CloudMade, a company that provides mapping data to 16,200 application developers, just announced that it has acquired German startup OneStepAhead.I last spoke to CloudMade chief executive Juha Christensen when the company raised its second round of funding in July. At the time, he acknowledged that there are competitors (such as SimpleGeo) offering tools to create location apps, but he said CloudMade offers more than detailed data to power a4Ahundreds of thousands of apps in different verticals.a4Yesterday, Christensen told me OneStepAheada4a4s technology advances that goal by managing the way mapping data is downloaded onto phones. That means CloudMade developers will be able to build apps where more of the data is stored on phones, so users can access maps when theya4a4re offline. They&amp;'ll also use less mobile data since theya4a4re not downloading maps again and again. OneStepAhead (which was self-funded) is based in Stuttgart, Germany, so that gives CloudMade an office near the German auto industry, which Christensen said has created a big market for location apps in that country.Menlo Park, Calif.-based CloudMade has raised $15.7 million from Greylock Partners and Sunstone Capital. Its cofounder Steve Coast also cofounded the community mapping project OpenStreetMap, and CloudMade draws its data from its project.

<description><![CDATA[There were plenty of tablets at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, but few were as compelling as Motorola&amp;'s upcoming flagship Android tablet, the Xoom.It was clearly the strongest Android tablet at the show (among a sea of many), and the one I bet will give the iPad a run for its money this year &amp;8212' especially since it&amp;'s also the first tablet to run on Verizon&amp;'s LTE 4G network. It comes as no surprise to hear that Motorola may be aiming to ship 1 million Xooms in the first quarter of 2011.As you&amp;'ll see in the video demonstration below, the combination of Google&amp;'s tablet-friendly Android 3.0 OS and the Xoom&amp;'s gorgeous 10.1-inch screen makes for a tasty treat. While the demonstration wasn&amp;'t live, the Motorola representative said it was a recording of the Xoom being used in real-time.The demo cycles through much of what Android 3.0 will bring to all Android tablets this year &amp;8212' a revamped user interface, better Gmail support, improved Google Maps, Google Talk video chat and more. It&amp;'s also connected to a large computer display, showing off the Xoom&amp;'s HDMI video output.Additionally, the Motorola representative said that the company would find some way to feature tablet-optimized apps in the Android Market. I&amp;'m not sure if this implies a tablet-specific section in the Market, or a separate app market just for the Xoom. I suspect that with the proliferation of more Android tablets, Google will find some way to find apps that will run better on their larger screens &amp;8212' a problem that owners of Samsung&amp;'s Galaxy Tab are currently facing.The Xoom&amp;'s release date and price still haven&amp;'t been announced. We expect it to land within the next few months and for it to be competitive with the pricing of the iPad and other Android tablets.Next Story: Mobile sharing startup Bump raises $16M Previous Story: The spectacle of CES in pictures (photo gallery)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, tablets, XoomCompanies: Google, motorola          Tags: Android, tablets, XoomCompanies: Google, motorolaDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
