<description><![CDATA[Despite offering solid call quality during our San Francisco tests, the Kyocera Domino had enough design and hardware disappointments to keep us looking for a better simple cell phone.It doesn't help that for the Domino, Kyocera has regurgitated an almost exact copy of the design used on the earlier Jax, repeating most of the same mistakes. Sorry, Kyocera, but revisiting that screen is a crime we can't easily overlook. Read the full review to see photos, videos, and where this phone goes wrong.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Canon)Canon announced replacements to its A-series models back atCES 2011, leaving its Elph lineup untouched. That changed today, though, as Canon rolled out three new ultracompacts as well as a new compact megazoom. Oh, and Canon changed its naming system.The PowerShot Elph 100 HS, Elph 300 HS, and Elph 500 HS all feature 12-megapixel high-sensitivity backside-illuminated CMOS sensors and a Canon Digic 4 image processor' the combination makes up Canon's HS System, hence the HS is now part of the model names. Canon did away with the &quot;SD&quot; and &quot;IS&quot; in their names as they all take SD cards now (SDHC and SDXC) and they all have optical image stabilization. Since they all have the same processors and image sensors, the main differences are in the lenses and displays. The $299.99 500 HS has an f2-5.8 24mm-equivalent ultrawide-angle lens with a 4.4x zoom and a 3.2-inch touch-screen LCD. (It's basically a combination of the SD4000 IS and SD3500 IS.) The 300 HS will be $50 less than the 500 HS and feature an f2.7-5.9 24mm-equivalent ultrawide-angle lens with a 5x zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD in a very small body. At the bottom is the 100 HS with a 3-inch LCD and a 4x f2.8-5.9 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens. It will sell for $199.99. All of the models can capture video in full HD. Canon also updated the SX210 IS compact megazoom by adding the same HS System as the Elphs. The new $349.99 SX230 HS keeps its predecessor's 14x, f3.1-5.9, 28-392mm lens (35mm equivalent) and 3-inch LCD, but gets a 12-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. It also gets a built-in GPS receiver for geotagging photos while you shoot. Look for the Elphs and the SX230 HS to hit stores throughout March.Canon PowerShot 100 HS, 300 HS, 500 HS, and SX230 HS (photos) <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are some who believe the NFL would be nothing without Vegas. And the folks in Vegas seem a little unsure who might win Sunday's Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The line is tight and the professionals are sweating in the Bellagio Sports Book.Fortunately, the Web has allegedly been a foolproof indicator recently of which team will clutch the Vince Lombardi trophy and try not to say &quot;F*** yeah!!&quot; as did the Giants' Tim Lincecum when they won the World Series.The folks at Infegy, which appears to be a sort of CIA of Web activity, say Web chatter in the month before the game has accurately predicted the winning team for the last four years. Specifically, the team that is talked about more ends up victorious.So Infegy, using a tool called Social Radar, has helpfully released its findings on its Buzz Study blog. Please have your Vegas connections standing by. They might as well not play it. The Web has spoken.(Credit:CC AmericanistadeChiapas/Flickt)But first let me tell you that this Super Bowl is not inciting too much social media conversation. Chatter is, according to Infegy, down 26 percent compared with last year's amusement between the Saints and the Colts.Could this because the Pittsburgh Steelers are about as interesting to watch as a middle-aged man in his pajamas boiling an egg Could it be because people are tired of hearing about the Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his louche nights out and few yards thrownOr could it be because the Bears and Jets would have made for a far more colorful, footloose affairI will leave you to decide these affairs of state. Although I will tell you that Infegy found that the Web was 9 percent more positive about the Packers than the Steelers in January. They did not define this as the Roethlisberger Effect.Now for the big reveal.The team that has enjoyed a little more than 2 percent more online buzz in the month of January and will therefore win the Super Bowl is, yes, the Green Bay Packers. Yes, the team with the excellent quarterback from Cal, the team without the lumberingly effective quarterback who went to Oxford. (I believe that's where the University of Miami, Ohio, is located.)I cannot imagine what might happen if, for once, the Web chatter proves to be wrong. No, the Web is never wrong.

<description><![CDATA[Intel Capital announced today that it has invested $26 million into six companies across the mobile hardware, software and applications markets.The investment arm of Intel, the world&amp;'s largest chip maker, typically invests in promising new technologies that will eventually help create demand for its chips or otherwise advance some of the company&amp;'s strategic initiatives. It made the announcement at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona today to show that it has its pulse on mobile technology.The startups Intel invested in are open source mobile software company Borqs' location-based mapping platform and tools provider CloudMade' QuantumFilm-based image sensor vendor InVisage (a DEMO startup)' open source online video platform Kaltura' online authentication provider SecureKey Technologies' and unified communications and collaboration service software provider VisionOSS Solutions.All six companies have created technologies to enhance the user experience across a number of mobile devices, including handhelds, tablets, and laptops. They also run a variety of operating systems include MeeGo and Android. MeeGo is Intel&amp;'s Linux-based mobile operating system that it was co-developing with Nokia. But Nokia announced a broad partnership with Microsoft on Friday that likely means it won&amp;'t support MeeGo in a broad way in the future.Since 1991, Intel has invested more than $9.8 billion in 1,100 companies in 48 countries. About 189 startups have gone public, 258 were acquired, and Intel invested $327 million in 2010 into 119 companies. Intel recently added well-connected early-stage investor Christine Herron to the ranks of Intel Capital.Here&amp;'s more detail on the investments from Intel&amp;'s press release:Borqs (Beijing) is an Android software integrator for mobile devices. The company works with name-brand smart phone OEMs, semi-conductor companies, and mobile operators to enhance the Android system to meet their requirements. With expertise ranging from kernel, device-level drivers to top-level user interfaces, Borqs Android solution has been deployed in more than 30 Android mobile devices for W-CDMA networks and TD-SCDMA networks. Borqs Android solution is Google CTS compliant. The investment from Intel Capital, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, aligns with Intela4a4s port of choice strategy to support multiple operating systems across a variety of devices and will be used by the company for business development.CloudMade (Menlo Park, Calif.) was founded in 2007 to enable developers to build location-enabled applications and services. The company provides application developers with a range of innovative tools and application programming interfaces to enable the creation of unique location-based applications across all major web and mobile platforms. Today there are more than 16,000 developers using CloudMade&amp;'s tools to create applications for mobile and Web consumers. The investment from Intel Capital will be used to further strengthen the platform and to work with developers to provide them with an unparalleled suite of tools designed for their specific needs. CloudMade will be certified under the Intela4a4s AppUpa4z application store.Kaltura (New York) provides a widely adopted open source online video platform. More than 100,000 media and entertainment companies, enterprises, small- and medium-size businesses, educational institutions, service providers, platform vendors and system integrators use Kalturaa4a4s flexible platform to enhance their websites, Web services and Web platforms with advanced customized rich-media functionalities that are delivered through any connected device. Kalturaa4a4s features and products enable the easy deployment of custom workflows involving video, photo and audio creation, ingestion, publishing, management, distribution, engagement, monetization and analysis. The investment will be used to enhance rich-media functionalities on tablets, mobile phones and other connected devices, with a special emphasis on supporting the MeeGoa4z mobile operating system and Intela4a4s AppUp application store. Kaltura said separately it raised $20 million today.InVisage Technologies (Menlo Park, Calif.) is harnessing the power of custom-designed semiconductor materials to develop QuantumFilm, the worlda4a4s first commercial quantum dot-based material for image sensors. QuantumFilm replaces silicon as the light capture material to enable high-fidelity, high-resolution images from such handheld devices as camera phones and digital cameras. Imaging is becoming an increasingly important capability across notebooks, handhelds and tablets. InVisage will use this funding round &amp;8212' led by Intel Capital &amp;8212' to bring its products and technology into mass production.SecureKey Technologies (Toronto) designs hardware and software solutions to enable the strong cryptographic capabilities of debit, credit and identity smartcards &amp;8212' including those within Near Field Communication-based phones &amp;8212' for online authentication and online purchases. SecureKey&amp;'s solutions provide a powerful user experience that can be delivered across platforms improving both the security and convenience of online transactions. The companya4a4s focus on secure transactions aligns with Intela4a4s vision of security as a key pillar of computing across all platforms, as more peoplesa4a4 lives are conducted online. The investment will be used to drive growth and expansion.VisionOSS Solutions (Reading, UK) provides a unified communications and collaboration (UC&amp;amp'C) service delivery and management platform to service providers and large enterprise customers that are planning to, or have already launched, complex, multi-cluster IP-PBX and UC&amp;amp'C architectures. The VOSS technology is a real-time, fully automated, scalable and centralized UC&amp;amp'C service delivery and management platform, which reduces complexity, speeds implementation, and cuts costs for the fulfillment of UC&amp;amp'C services. VOSS will use the new funds to fuel its growth, and to support the evolution of its technology which has already been deployed in a significant number of tier-one service providers.Next Story: Twitter CEO: We need to be everywhere &amp;8212' like indoor plumbing Previous Story: Windows Phone 7 and Kinect learn to play ball together (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Borqs, CloudMade, InVisage, Kaltura, mobile world congress, SecureKey Technologies, VisionOSS SolutionsCompanies: IntelPeople: Christine Herron          Tags: Borqs, CloudMade, InVisage, Kaltura, mobile world congress, SecureKey Technologies, VisionOSS SolutionsCompanies: IntelPeople: Christine HerronDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
