It's pretty obvious that Apple overpriced the 13.3-inch Retina MacBook Pro by a long shot.

The 13.3-inch Retina MacBook Pro has plunged to $1,299 at one retailer, a whopping $400 off its original price.

The model debuted at $1,699 in October. But it didn't take long for Apple to cut the price to $1,499 in February after widespread discounting from retailers such as Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, and MacMall.

What gives? While the higher-cost 13.3-inch Retina display is stunning, there isn't much more about the model that's mind blowing enough to warrant such a high price.It's obvious now that the original pricing on the Retina MBP was a miscalculation by Apple. And the additional $200 discount at MacConnection may indicate that $1,499 may still be too high.

For instance, it's not particularly lightweight at about 3.6 pounds. And while its mainstream Core i5 processor is faster than the MacBook Air's power-efficient variety, the silicon doesn't scream like the 15.4-inch Retina MacBook Pro (which combines a quad-core Core i7 with Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics). At 128GB, the 13.3 MBP's solid-state drive storage is average too.

Then there's the matter of Google's Chromebook Pixel, which bests the MBP in a few key areas: it has higher pixel density (239 pixels per inch versus the MBP's 227), has a touch screen, and can be configured with internal 4G.

And the base Pixel model is priced at $1,299.

But that doesn't mean the Pixel is jumping off the shelf either. The 64GB model with 4G/LTE is priced at $1,449, only a little less than the base 128GB 13 Retina MBP as sold by Apple.

Google's Chromebook Pixel has trumped the 13.3-inch Retina MacBook Pro in some key hardware metrics.

The upgrade is being released to Nexus device owners first and reportedly addresses a Bluetooth bug.

by Mylan Cellular

February 12, 2013   

If you need me this morning, I'm obsessively checking my Nexus 7, looking for the Android 4.2.2 upgrade that's reportedly begun rolling out to Nexus devices and will likely to be pushed from the carriers as well, at some point in the near future.
One of my favorite winter morning activities here in the chilly Rockies is to get up early before the rest of the family, start a fire in the wood stove, and get some coffee going to start the day off right. In the name of multitasking, I like to do all the above while listening to podcasts or Spotify on my Nexus 7 via a Bluetooth stereo headset so as not to disturb my slumbering wife and child.
At some point last year, this routine became a little less enjoyable thanks to an apparent bug in Android Jelly Bean that would often cause the Bluetooth audio to stutter and skip. Turning off Wi-Fi seemed to be one way to fix the issue, but of course that made it difficult to stream live radio or do much of anything else on the tablet while listening to something pre-downloaded.

 

That's why I'm constantly glancing at my Nexus notification bar today looking for word that the 4.2.2 upgrade package has been downloaded -- the Bluetooth bug is one of the fixes included, according to one Galaxy Nexus user who reports receiving the upgrade.
I haven't heard anything more about specific changes in 4.2.2 and Google simply says it "improves performance and stability."
Let us know in the comments if you've received the update and if you're seeing any changes in the operating system.

Judge tosses 13 Motorola patent claims against Microsoft

For discount cell phones and used cell phones and refurbished cell phones cheap, Come and visit our ONLINE STORE at WWW.MYLANCELLULAR.COM

The team of Google and Motorola Mobility has suffered a major setback in one patent war against Microsoft.

 

 

A federal judge in Washington state has invalidated more than a dozen patent claims in the case of Microsoft v. Motorola.
Right now the winner (of this particular skirmish) is Microsoft over Google-owned Motorola Mobility.
On Wednesday, Judge James L. Robart of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, issued an order in favor of Microsoft, invalidating 13 patent claims.
Those claims are in reference to just three patents (U.S. Patent No. 7,310,374, U.S. Patent No. 7,310,375, U.S. Patent No. 7,310,376) -- all of which have to do with encoding and decoding digital video content.
Microsoft had petitioned that the "means for decoding" and the "means for using" elements of the patents in question be declared as invalid based on a specific U.S. patent law specification, and the court has consented.
Following up a detailed technical analysis of the petition, here's an excerpt from Robart's order explaining his decision:

Finally, as stated, decoding and encoding are entirely different functions. Thus, even were a person of ordinary skill in the art able to devise an algorithm for decoding the function from the disclosed encoding description, that alone does not rescue the disputed means limitations from indefiniteness. Were that the case, any means-plus-function limitation could be saved from indefiniteness by an expert's testimony that he or she could have written computer code to perform the recited function based on unrelated disclosures in the specification. The specification needs to provide a decoding algorithm from which to base the understanding of one skilled in the art, and the court can find no such algorithm within the specification. Instead, the "means for decoding" limitations claim all corresponding structure under the sun by expansively defining the function in the specification as anything that decodes digital data. This definition renders the "means for decoding" limitation invalid for indefiniteness.

However, there are still more claims related to this trio of patents waiting for a ruling.
FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller explained a bit further, predicting on Thursday that these claims could also still be denied.

Most patent claims are actually invalidated for anticipation (lack of novelty) or obviousness (lack of inventive step over the prior art). Such questions can be decided on summary judgment but most of the time are put before a jury, while indefiniteness is for a judge to decide.

Mueller added that if any of these claims are upheld in Motorola's favor, Microsoft still might have a chance to license them under FRAND (fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory) terms.

Nexus 4 back in stock today in the U.S., too

For ALL Brands, ALL Accessories, New and Used cell phones and Tablets for VERY cheap, Visit our ONLINE STORE at WWW.MYLANCELLULAR.COM.

The popular smartphone became available again in Germany earlier today, and it will now ship from the U.S. Google Play store to buyers in one to two weeks. Google also added Canada to the lineup.

The Nexus 4 is now back in stock in the U.S. Google Play store.

Germany isn't the only country getting more Nexus 4 inventory today. The popular Google smartphone is now available in the U.S. and Canadian Google Play stores, as well.

The device, which costs $299 for the 8GB version or $349 for the 16GB model, will ship in one to two weeks for U.S. buyers, the site says. That's a big improvement from the recent wait times, as well as the general unavailability of the device. The phone earlier today also became available again in Germany, and it hit Canada shortly after arriving in the U.S. Google Play store.
The LG Nexus 4 has been selling out pretty rapidly since its November launch, with users forced to wait many weeks for the device to ship or to even show availability online. The smartphone is one developed closely with Google, giving a pure and polished experience with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, as CNET reviewers have noted. However, it also lacks 4G LTE capabilities, though that doesn't appear to be hurting demand for the device.
The Nexus 4 sold out in less than half an hour the day it was released in mid-November.
A Google executive last month blamed LG for the shortage, saying supplies from the company have been "scarce and erratic." The company at the time vowed to improve the situation and said it should have good news to share shortly.

Nexus 4 reportedly back in stock beginning today at noon

Availability of the Nexus 4 smartphone has been scarce since it was released last November. Supply chain woes have kept the flagship device out of stock, however Google (GOOG) CEO Larry Page has vowed to fix the supply chain problems and get the handset back in stock as soon as possible. On Monday evening, the company changed the availability of the Nexus 4 on the Play Store to “Temporarily Out of Stock,” leaving many to speculate that the device would soon return. Google confirmed to The Verge on Tuesday that it is now offering the Nexus 4 in Germany and plans to offer the device in additional markets “very soon.” Sources speaking with Droid-Life and Android Police have also suggested that the smartphone will be available once again in the U.S. on Tuesday beginning at 12:00 p.m.

LTE™ coverage for Xperia™ smartphones

For Discount Cell Phones, Cell Phones Online AND Refurbished cell phones, Come visit our Online Store for discount prices at http://www.mylancellular.com

LTE networks are getting more and more common, allowing you to browse the web instantly, stream content, or download movies at high-speed. You’ll find LTE support in a number of Xperia™ smartphones, all the way from the just announced Xperia™ Z to the Xperia™ ion. Each device has a particular range of LTE bands, with corresponding regions that support the service. Read on to get the full list of LTE-enabled smartphones, supported bands, and the available countries where you can use LTE.
Among the impressive specs you’ll find for the recently announced Xperia Z – quad-core CPU, 5’ 1080p HD display, and HDR video camera – don’t forget that you’ll also find support for LTE. It’s the latest Sony superphone with LTE capability, and joins an already extensive list of Xperia™ LTE-capable smartphones.
LTE stands for 3GPP Long Term Evolution, and is a standard for wireless data communications technology and an evolution of the GSM/UMTS standards. This technology increases the capacity and speed of wireless data networks using DSP (digital signal processing) techniques and modulations that already provides peak rates of 100 Mbit/s downlink and 50 Mbit/s uplink and QoS provisions permitting a transfer latency of 10-15 ms and is evolving to beyond 300 Mbps. With LTE, the ability to manage fast-moving mobiles is supported, as well as multi-cast and broadcast streams. LTE supports scalable carrier bandwidths, from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz and supports both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time-division duplexing (TDD).
LTE frequency bands
The LTE standard can be used with many different frequency bands. The deployment is increasing rapidly among the world. As of today 700, 850, , 1900 and 1700/2100 MHz bands are used in North America. South America uses 700, 1700/2100 and 2600 MHz. 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz bands are used in Europe. You’ll find the 850, 1500, 1800, 2100, 2300 and 2600 MHz bands used in Asia. And Australia uses 1800 MHz. As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Since the LTE standard is fairly new to the operators there are very few roaming agreements between different countries and operators when it comes to LTE roaming (HSPA roaming already exists). In the future when roaming agreements are in place users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally. That will be less of an issue if you’re using an Xperia™ smartphone, as they are already multi-band capable (with the exception of Xperia™ SX) and support at least two bands or more. The table further down lists the LTE bands supported by Xperia™ smartphones.
The feature image used for this article indicates current countries in green where there is an existing (commercial) LTE network that Xperia™ smartphones can connect to. Please note that many more regions will have LTE in the near future. Furthermore, the availability of LTE networks is operator-dependent and may vary from area to area within a country.
List of LTE supported Xperia smartphones
The Xperia™ smartphones that support LTE include:
Xperia ion (LT28i)
Xperia TL (LT30at)
Xperia T (LTE30a)
Xperia V (LT25i)
Xperia SX (SO-0SD)
Xperia AX (SO-01E)
Xperia Z (C6603)
Xperia ZL (LTE C6503, C6506)
