New Mobile Phones - Advancements in Technology and Design

As with everything part of nature or man made, there is a requirement of change. Change brings about improvement and advancement from the previous methods being followed. These changes bring about a necessary revolution as better arenas are developed thus creating a newer trend. The same ideology is followed in technology and electronic gadgets as they become obsolete after a certain period of time. They have a certain time period within which they function to the best of their abilities and beyond which they begin to lose their class. This obsoleteness can be due to old technology being employed or wear and tear of the body structure.

Mainly newer mobile phones are introduced to beat competition in your same niche and sometimes to continue the trend of improved technology going. This eventually makes a great situation for the end consumer as they are treated with ever improving gadgets and have a vast variety of phones to choose from. They can buy a product based upon any significant feature that they are looking for, according to price and according to its appearance too. This makes it hard for the manufacturers to make a complete device with all the necessary attributes so they come up with more gadgets to solve the problem.

Verizon iPad commercial hits the air

By Nilay Patel posted Nov 9th 2010 11:14AM You didn't think Verizon would start selling its iPad / MiFi bundle without an ad blitz, did you? Big Red's running a new commercial called "Breakaway" that features a dude using the combo to tear down the walls of his unfurnished home and wind up sitting alone on a bluff in a plastic chair. The magic of iPad, the power and reliability of Verizon. Video after the break.

[Thanks, Nick]

Isabella Products reveals 7-inch Fable connected children's tablet

Hello, diversification. The same company responsible for the Vizit photo frame is branching out in a big way -- Isabella Products has just introduced what it's calling the planet's first fully interactive, connected children's tablet. Just like mum and pop's Galaxy Tab, the Fable boasts a 7-inch touchpanel and inbuilt 3G, but details beyond that (hardware wise, anyway) are few and far betwixt. We are told that it'll come preloaded with children's titles from partner Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, including Curious George, Martha Speaks, and George and Martha. As you'd expect, it'll boast a tyke-friendly user interface and will provide a secure, SFW connection to the company's VizitMe.com content management system. There's nary a mention of price (nor how much it'll cost to maintain that 3G connection each month), but all should be crystal clear by the time it launches in mid-2011.

Isabella Products Announces Partnership with Publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to launch the World's First Children's Tablet

Fable™, the world's first wireless connected children's tablet

CONCORD, MA November 8, 2010 - Isabella Products, a leading mobile Internet device and services company, today announced Fable™, the first fully interactive, portable tablet that enables children to read, draw, game and share over the mobile broadband network. Fable boasts an extremely intuitive user interface with a 7" high-resolution, full-touch LCD screen that utilizes Isabella's patent-pending carousel navigation interface. Fable will come pre-loaded with world-famous children's content from strategic partner and global education leader Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH).

"Isabella Products is excited to bring to market the first children's tablet aimed at creating a learning experience unrivaled by today's toys and e-Reader products," said Matthew I. Growney, Founder and CEO of Isabella Products. "We believe Fable will safely and securely usher in some of the youngest users to a digital learning environment, and with HMH's extensive list of award winning children's titles, we will design a superior digital content experience." Fable is expected to be available in mid 2011 through VizitMe.com and select retailers.

Fable's easy-to-use interface, coupled with a secure connection to Isabella's VizitMe.com content management system, enables children to interact with educational and entertaining content at home, school or on-the-go. Fable's core applications include reading, drawing, gaming and photo sharing. Fable will ship with selected content from HMH's treasured storybook collection. The e-Reader application will provide access to the Fable library, which includes a child's personal collection of preloaded and purchased material available for immediate viewing. Parents and children will be able to purchase additional eBooks from Isabella's VizitMe bookstore or directly from the bookstore located on the Fable device. With a wide selection of picture books and interactive content, Fable provides an entertaining digital experience for children of all ages and interests.

"Fable integrates classic stories and technology to enable children to experience our content in a rich and exciting way," said Cheryl Cramer Toto, Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy and Planning for HMH. "We continuously strive to entertain, educate and inspire young readers, and through the partnership with Isabella Products we are delighted to make our children's picture books available on Fable."

In addition to the e-Reader application, Fable offers:
• Drawing - Includes an artistic toolset of various sizes and colors including markers, paintbrushes, magic pens or shapes, which can be applied to a blank page, coloring book pages or photos.
• Gaming - Provides interactive games focusing on counting, reading, nutrition, colors, shapes and other educational themes, all supported by HMH and other publishers' unique characters and stories.
• Photo Sharing - Supports the delivery of photos from family and friends to Fable's own Gallery. An onboard camera will also allow users to take photos from Fable and share them as well. Photos can also be used as coloring sheets in the drawing application.

To ensure a secure and safe experience, Fable is managed by Isabella's VizitMe.com content management system that controls the device's access to new content, friends and family, and the VizitMe bookstore. Fable's settings can be adjusted on the device by parents through a pin code or can be remotely managed through a password-protected account at VizitMe.com. All purchased and created content is saved on VizitMe.com where parents can also invite and manage their friends' and family's interactions with the child's device.

Powered by a mobile broadband connection, families will be able to take their child's Fable with them almost anywhere-as a fun interactive and entertaining tool in the car, at a sibling's soccer game or on the school bus. Fable's durable design takes into consideration a child's handling of the device and external factors within various environments.
