| Apple Store Gets Take Down Notice for VLC App Posted: 31 Oct 2010 07:30 PM PDT
To users of iOS devices, this means you'd better grab VLC from the Apple Store while you can.
The VLC app was released in September. Even then, some people speculated that it would eventually be killed. Below is a little of the letter that Rémi sent out to the public.
Rémi is also angry that he's being blamed for depriving users of the app. He states that he must defend VLC's unrestricted use under GPL, and those who made this app available should be getting the blame. VLC will always be available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

| Nokia E5 Firmware Updated To V42.010 Posted: 31 Oct 2010 09:59 AM PDT
Nokia has released a new firmware update for the E5. The new firmware update is numbered v42.010 and aims at improving the performance and stability of the device. The firmware update also aims at adding some new features to the device and updating the core applications of the handset. Users can update the firmware via OTA (Over-The-Air) or by using Nokia Software Updater. The Nokia E5 features UDP (User Data Preservation), so users don't need to worry about making a backup of their data before proceeding with the firmware update. However, users are recommended to make a backup of their data on the handset before updating the firmware on the device. Nokia will slowly be rolling out this firmware to various regions of the world in the upcoming few weeks.

| New Portrait QWERTY Keyboard For The Nokia N8 Coming Soon Posted: 31 Oct 2010 09:15 AM PDT
The Nokia N8 has been criticized heavily for its text input entry system. However, the Finnish giant is hard at work and is working on an updated text input mode for the Nokia N8. The folks over at My Nokia Blog have managed to get their hands on a few pictures of the new updated text input mode system. From the blurry pictures, it is clear that the Text input field does not open up separately; instead it opens up on the same screen. This means that users can see the on-screen content whilst typing their message. The pictures also show a brand new portrait mode QWERTY keyboard for the Nokia N8. However, it is not yet known whether the keyboard supports multi-touch or not. The pictures do not show an English based QWERTY keyboard, so the final layout of the keyboard will be different as seen from the picture. Hopefully, the N8 should get this new text input mode in the next firmware update.

| Skype’s VoIP App for the iPhone Posted: 31 Oct 2010 03:30 AM PDT
VoIP can lower your telephone bills. Calling plans offered by VoIP service Providers are variable. Some charge per minute, others give unlimited long distance local and domestic calls. Simple calling plans are always a better choice. Plans charging per minute may be attractive but the bills are totally unpredictable. Unlimited calling plans have a more predictable billing system. VoIP has the quality of being fast, easy and uninterrupted. Signing up for VoIP is quite easy. All it needs to run is a high speed internet connection. It can be accessed sitting anywhere in the world. Other features of VoIP are:
In addition to these, features like virtual numbers, telecommuting, personal phone numbers, Mobile PBX, private faxes, unified communication, connecting multiple locations through voice are also included.
The company delayed the launching of 3G VoIP applications in order to improve the quality of audio prior to releasing the new version. This application provides high audio quality even with low band-width. This gives an advantage in low band-width situations. One of the new attractive features is the call quality meter or the call quality indicator. It has a grading system consisting of colors. The call quality meter changes colors to red, yellow and green depending on the coverage, with red showing less coverage and green indicating good coverage. Start up time has also been improved in this version and the access has been made easy and fast from iPhone home screen's dial pad. As always, folks have great expectations for this new application from Skype. However, Skype will have to work on keeping the prices within affordable limits. They are planning to charge for Skype to Skype calls next year, although the prices will be minimal. Skype is expected to give a good value for its paid products. This guest post is written by Zach. He is a writer and his area of interest is internet phone technology. He has eight years of experience in VoIP industry and is currently working with Axvoice internet phone service providers.
