Watch phones have been with us for quite some time but the idea doesn’t seem to get enough momentum cu become really mainstream and there are a lot of reasons for that like price, screen to small, worse than cellphones as functions, hard to use and such, but there is hope that things can change in the future. Let’s see why.

Watch phone

Do watch phones have a chance to become mainstream?

As it seems there’s a shift when it comes to how people perceive watch phones. It was quite obvious for me that watch phones have no chance as alternatives to mobile phones: there just isn’t enough room to cram that much technology in a watch and not effect usability, but if you look at watch phones as accessories, things to use together with a phone there’s another story.

Imagine the following scenario: you’re in a meeting, you put your phone on silent/vibrate but want to see it something really important comes up so you pair your watch to the phone and wait for messages or important calls. Once those come they’re displayed on the screen of the watch, plus it’s much more subtle to take a peak at your watch than take the phone out and check for new stuff. In this case a watch phone can prove to be quite useful, also in crowded places when you can’t hold a phone in your hand but you can watch the phone that’s already attached to your arm. Add a bluetooth headset piece to that watch phone and everyting looks normal now.

Trying to advertise watch cell phones as a replacement for phones is an error, but looking at them as accessories takes everything to another level, one where watch phones can become more and more common, plus more models will mean more competition which in turn gives us better models, with better design and features.

I can’t predict when we’ll get to buy watch phones like cakes but I bet that one thing can make us look at them as potential gadgets: bundle them with regular phones. That’s how you give people a taste of the watch phone magic and you ensure that once they depend on one, the next purchase will be also a watch phone. Building momentum and getting people to use watch phones is the key thing here and I hope other big manufacturers will consider building watch phones as for now only LG and Samsung seem serious about it.

Facebook smileys are tiny smiley faces which I like to add to my Facebook chat window to add some fun to them! They’re quite a new addition, but have soon become an everyday thing for anyone who uses the chat function on Facebook on the biggest site for keeping on contact with people in the entire world.

Facebook smileys

Why are Facebook icons not shown?

This is a puzzler that has surely long puzzled those who enjoy using popular internet sites. Why, if there are options such as smileys available, would the world’s most popular social network not tell the users how to use them? The real solution is clear – if you tell users how to insert them you clutter the UI and make it messy and dirtier. You also would make a more cluttered and less clear website – something that Facebook in particular has been trying to avoid with their site. It sets them apart, and makes them different. In actuality, it’s a very smart take on making a social networking.

Tell me what different different Facebook emoticons are available?

There are many, many emotes available for you to use, but sadly people can’t incorporate them in your Facebook update message or on other Facebookers walls. Right now, the only way to see these Facebook smileys is to use Facebook chat (which you can see in the bottom right of your home page, in the newly unleashed ‘Facebook bar’ that can be seen when you first log in).

This is just a brief introduction to Facebook chat smileys, in a future post I will school you a bit more on the subject of which ones are available and how to get them in your chats!

For many people Facebook is an unchangeable part of their lives, and because of this people have begun to recognize Facebook emoticons more and more each day. Many people think that these tiny Facebook chat emoticons are more recognizable than the ones offered by Myspace.

Facebook emoticons

Have you ever wondered where all those character emoticons come from? For example, did you ever wonder what caused Facebook to even introduce pictures into the chatting sessions of their users?

Before Facebook there was Myspace. Five years ago Myspace was the main source for social networking. When myspace first came out it ruined other social networking sites such as friendster and Hi5. The reason being because numbers over power win every time. However myspace did make some mistakes.

The reason myspace became so popular was it gave a way for people to communicate with many friends very easily. People already knew about email and even using MSN chat sessions however with myspace users could combine both photos and chatting and even networking ( meet new people) And that made them the head of the pack. However their were number of problems. Myspace gained many subscribers and thus people began feeling small. Some people wanted to earn as many friends as they could while others wants to comment on others pages to market themselves or even their products. People on myspace wanted something completely different and completely their own.

This is where Facebook comes in. The site was started on the campus of Harvard University so that friends has a way to keep in touch and a way to organize their social calendar. The design of the site was clear and easy to understand. It was simple to use and no one had to question it. Soon the site was opened to the public.

Facebook met the goal of getting users of myspace to use them while still offering the same product with a much simpler system. Facebook also keep tight on their main goal;to make the site easy to use and bring people together online.

Facebook introduced their chat system two year ago. Those who tested it enjoyed its simple and basic look but was worried it was a mistake to add it. Soon people realized the added bells and whistles of other chat programs ( like yahoo and msn ) were really not needed and just added distractions. All they really wanted was a way to communicate with others.

Facebook also knew that people enjoyed using icons and smilies. So they quickly started installing several hidden smilies users could only use when they typed in a certain code. Some people got excited when they found them by accident other knew them right away by looking for list of codes on other websites. Facebook chat emoticons quickly have become a part of the very popular social networks vocabulary.

Most of us spend a large portion of our free time glued to our couches watching TV. With this in mind, it is rather surprising to see that in the last several decades, the biggest advancements in television technology has been limited to bigger screens, thinner dimensions, and higher resolutions. LCD, Plasma, HDTV are common household names and appliances, but has it really changed the way we experience video content? Not really, and this is why the recent development of 3D TVs by major TV manufacturers has really drawn a lot of interest.

3D TV

3D TV

3D imaging technology in fact, has been around for quite a while. The stereoscope is deemed to be the birth of the 3D revolution and that was invented all the way back in 1844. The 1950s saw the rising popularity of 3D films in theathers, but that interested died off when home TVs were produced allowing people to enjoy movies in their own homes. For several decades 3D seemingly disappeared off of the face of pop culture. If it wasn’t for IMAX, it could have even been considered extinct.

2010 is the year when 3D TV is set to make a comeback. In fact, Sony has such high hopes for the format that it is predicting that more than half of its Sony 3D TV sales in 2012 will be 3D Ready. Of course, Sony’s interest in the field could be deemd biased – with their Blu-Ray players already in place to provide 3D movies and its Playstation 3 gaming console also positioned to deliver games in 3D.

There are still alot of hurdles ahead for the adoption of 3D TVs. The price is currently way above the mass market levels, so the technology will need to be made cheaper. This is a problem that most innovative products face in their early stages, so it’s not exactly the main problem at this point. The bigger hurdle currently is the requisite of 3D glasses. These bulky and hard to tolerate glasses have been improved to create a better picture quality over the previous polarized cardboard glasses, but they are still there. 3D TVs not requiring glasses of any form are being developed, but that is still some time away.

In the end, 3D TV is a welcomed arrival and despite early hurdles is bound to do well – the only question is when?
