Entertainment is part of the core focus for Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7, as evident from the music & video hub. So how does one unleash the full multimedia potential of your Windows Phone 7-powered smartphone?

ZUNE

Zune is the glue that binds your Windows Phone 7 and your PC, functioning as the connecting software that synchronizes your PC’s media files with windows Phone 7. If you haven’t done so, go to the Zune website and install Microsoft Zune.

Wireless Sync

Need to reduce the clutter of wires hanging around on your desk? You can wirelessly sync your windows Phone 7 device with zune. To do so, click on Settings (top, slightly off-centre), followed by the Phone tab, you’ll notice a wireless sync option, which displays the current network your windows Phone 7 device is logged onto. As its name implies, this is an option to synchronize the content between your PC and mobile device wirelessly. This is possible under a few conditions:

1. The PC and Windows Phone 7 device are connected to the same network.

2. The PC must be logged on to the user account where Zune is installed onto.

3. The Windows Phone 7 device has been charging for at least 10 minutes.

Connecting Windows Phone 7 to PC

A connection between your PC and Windows Phone 7 device is easily established through USB. Setting up the phone for its initial connection with the PC is simple, with just a few prompts to name your phone and a quick software check (and update if required) before your device is connected to the Zune software on your PC.

Managing your Sync Rules and Music on Zune

An important aspect of content synchronization is fie management. The same rule applies to windows Phone 7, to keep your entertainment well-organized and readily accessible with a flick of your finger.

Firstly, we look at your sync rules, which will guide your PC and device to synchronize the required content. Go to Settings > Phone > Sync Options and set your sync rules. Choosing “All” will pull any content within your Zune software into your phone. The initial sync might take a while if your music library is huge, but it’ll be a hassle-free experience since you won’t have to manually drag the files over.

Secondly, you’ll have to manage the folders that Zune has to monitor for any new multimedia files. Going to Settings > Software and Collection will show you where your music, videos, pictures and podcasts folders are. You can choose to add or remove folders to manage and perhaps minimize the amount of content that needs to be synchronized to your Windows Phone 7 device.

Alternatively, for a more hands-on approach to managing your files on Windows Phone 7, you can choose to manage your Zune folders separately. With the appropriate sync rules, only files within the Zune folders are synchronized, keeping the Windows 7 library separate from windows Phone 7. This is particularly useful if your multimedia library exceeds the maximum capacity of your Windows Phone 7 device.

Google’s Android operating system is revered among geeks for it’s flexibility and high level of customization options in comparison to competing smartphone operating systems in the market today. Unfortunately though, unless you own a Google-branded device such as the Nexus S (or the earlier Nexus Onei, all Android-powered devices come pre-modified out of the box, and depending on the manufacturer, can be quite unwieldy and to a certain degree, ugly. Here’s how you can customize your Android smartphone to your liking.

Get Down with Launcher Pro

For user-interface (UI) replacement, we recommend using Launcher Pro Plus ($4.31). Of course you can do with the free version, but the paid edition comes with a plethora of widgets that you may find useful, as well as the ability to resize them as you please (which is essential to our end result). After you download and install Launcher Pro from the Marketplace, you’ll want to hit the home button and set it as the default action for that key press so you won’t have to see your (ugly) stock UI ever again. Launcher Pro comes with a slew of preferences you can set, customizing your new UI to the exact flavor you like. To access the preferences, hit the menu button on the home screen and select Preferences.

The Primary Screen

There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to UI customization, but if you dig the minimalist look and feel, the widgets we recommend are Power Control Plus ($2.46), Circle Battery Widget as well as SiMi Clock. We’re going with a paid edition of Power Control Plus (instead of free) as you can customise the toggles, eliminate the background and dividers and much more. SiMi Clock is a great replacement for the gaudy Sense UI clock as found on Android-powered HTC smartphones, and along with the Circle Battery Widget, you now have all the information you need on your main homescreen.
For all of the above widgets, you have to add them to your homescreen as per any normal widget: long press on screen > Widgets. Again, each of the widgets has its fair share of options to play around with, so experiment until you get the look that suits your taste!

Making Custom Tile Icons

Now that we’ve got a simple homescreen down, let’s add some custom icons for your most used shortcuts. While it may look complicated, creating custom icons for your phone is deceptively easy. First of all, you will need to know your screen resolution. The HTC Desire Z for example, has a screen resolution of 480×800 pixels. Leaving the dock 480×80 pixels worth of space, you are now left with 480×720 pixels to manipulate and splice into tiles. Since we now have 5 rows and 4 columns from Launcher Pro, a 1×1 icon will be exactly 120×144 pixels, a 2×1 would be 240×144,1×2 would be 120×288 and so on.
With these dimensions you can now go into Photoshop or your other favourite image-editing tool to create the individual pieces of the homescreen “jigsaw puzzle”. Once you’re done (don’t forget to put some text in the image so you can identify what the image is for), save the images to your SD card.

Next, we’ll use those image files with an app called Desktop VisualizeR, which lets you create an icon of any size, using custom images for your homescreen. Desktop visualizeR is added as all widgets are. If you don’t see the size you want, you should be able to resize your widget with Launcher Pro Plus by going one size larger, and then shrinking it back down to your target size. Before configuration, Desktop VisualizeR will appear as a green box. Where it says select icon, navigate to the image you want to use by pressing Select Icon > Image File > Image. Next, choose which application you want to open. If you have already put a text description, you can clear the Label box. Once you are finished and press done, you’ll see your custom icon on your screen.

Where To Go From Here?

Now you have a homescreen many iPhone users would be frothing at the mouth for, what’s next? If you’re not a fan of having to unlock your phone each time you pick it up, the No Lock app (it’s free!) comes in handy to bypass the lock screen, showing your home screen as soon as you turn your smartphone on. There are hundreds of widgets and apps available on the Android Market to download and use. For the more adventurous, you can even download and install custom ROM’s from the many Android fan-forums on the internet, which will aid you in your quest for the ultimate homescreen. Now that you’ve taken the first steps to customizing your homescreen, experiment away in the hopes that you’ll never have to see a boring stock interface ever again!

Cell phones started out as an idea for a mobile phone that can be used from a car, within a given range. This was happening back in 1947. Since then, their purpose was achieved and greatly exceeded.

The mane comes from the word cellular combined with the normally used word, phone. Cellular because their whole technology is based on cells of signal. Each cell has as a centre a transmitter that assures the mobility and the great range, almost worldwide, of mobile phones. These transmitters are placed in such a way so that they can form a network with absolutely no uncovered spaces. Not all portions have been covered, but the civilized and populated locations all have mobile phone operators and coverage.

Nowadays, mobile phones try to include as many technological areas as possible. There is no cell phone out there that is only a cell phone. From watching TV to playing games, taking pictures and making movies, from real music to color display, they have it all. Some phones even have Windows from mobile on them, just like PCs. Others can actually compete with game consoles like Nintendo because they are kind of a miniature game console themselves.

The extreme competition out there makes developers want to achieve more and more with their phones. Japan has always been a pioneer in the cell phone industry, they had TV and camera phones long before they appeared in America and Europe. Japanese manufactures and worldwide producers try every day to come up with new things for a cell phone, following a fixed goal: the perfect phone that can stand for all multimedia and communication devices out here, a phone that combines everything from communication to utility and work.

So, in the near future the cell phone might offer us a great surprise. How knows, they may try and develop some kind of holographic graphics. No matter what the next step is, the industry is certainly improving every minute, even as we speak and cell phones have a bright future ahead of them.
