Latest:ADobe's online photoshop

A TREAT FOR ONLINE USERS:

So Adobe made a huge revelation today, saying it plans to launch a web-based version of Photoshop within six months. The free, ad-supported site will compete with PXN8, Fauxto, Picture2Life, Picnik, Preloadr, Snipshot (formerly Pixoh) and other online photo apps covered here in the past.

Adobe says the tools on offer will be low-end, and surely the app will be substantially less powerful than the desktop version, but they still plan to exceed the current offerings on the market. It’ll be Photoshop-branded, according to the CNET article that appears to have broken the story, because that brand power will give Adobe an advantage over Google’s Picasa and other potential rivals.

What’s more, we know that Adobe has the ability to build killer apps along these lines using Adobe Flex: it already worked on Adobe Remix, a video remixing tool that’s being used by Photobucket. Adobe has also said that it wants to create more hybrid apps that go between the desktop and the web.

It’s a surprising - although not totally unexpected - revelation that proves the endless possibilities of Adobe’s Macromedia acquisition. It’ll also give those online photo editors something to worry about.

Review:O2 Atom

Hello gorgeous!

The smart and sexy O2 XDA Atom isanother hot addition to O2’s line ofsmart phones. It sports a glossy black plasticshell that leaves fi ngerprints easily andpacks in all the bells and whistles in a formfactor nearly as much as a deck of cards.Features: It’s powered by the Intel PXA272416 MHz processor and runs the latestversion of Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0.The memory is bifurcated into RAM andROM. The 128 MB ROM contains the OSand program fi les and data that the userdecides to store. Program memory is 64MB of RAM where the open programs run.If you plan to buy the Atom, make sureyou buy a hefty mini SD card as the usablememory won’t suffi ce in the long runespecially if you’re a shutterbug or a musiclover. A 2.0 MP camera with fl ash and FMradio are also packed into the phone. The6.8 cm TFT screen with 262K colors servesits purpose well. The display is quite sharpand vibrant.The phone fi ts snugly into yourhand; navigating it is a cakewalk usingthe programmable hotkeys and a smalltoothpick-like stylus. A directional pad thatdoubles up as controls for Media Player 10further eases operation. Don’t miss the twotiny stereo speakers sitting at the base ofthe phone!In a struggle to fi t too much in toolittle space, O2 has cleverly provided a2.5-inch audio jack. This will disappointmusic lovers as standard earphones arenot compatible with this phone. And evenmore disappointing is the fact that thebundled earphones are very uncomfortableto wear.The Atom also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth andIR squeezed into it. With the built-in Wi-Fiadaptor, it’s possible to instantly access theInternet at any hotspot. Support for EDGEsupport enables accessing high-speedInternet while you are on the move.Performance: For a Windows Mobiledevice, the Atom is sluggish. A ROMupdate is seriously required to rev up thephone’s speed. The 2.0 MP camera is goodfor nothing! It takes around 10 secondsto start up and the quality of images andvideo are below average. Integration of afl ash is a good feature if you want to shootin low light conditions. But the person willget blinded for a few seconds after saying‘cheese’ due to the strong blinding fl ashwhich stays on for a few seconds afterclicking.Barring the camera and speed issues,the phone is simply mind-blowing. Eventhough it has its share of foibles, we stillrecommend it due to its features and theamazing form factor. The O2 XDA Atomneeds serious consideration if you’replanning to buy a smart phone.For: Looks cool; FM radio; Windows Mobile5.0; Wi-Fi; EDGE.Against: Sluggish; poor image and videocapture quality; ill-fi tting earphones.

Review: The All New PSP

The coolest multimedia, security, office,

All of us like to save money, right?
Especially if it is on software since
that is an area a user invests in
constantly after buying a computer. A
majority opts for a cheaper alternative
—bootleg CDs bought off the road or
cracked versions downloaded from the
Internet. No, this is not going to turn into
a righteous speech on how one should not
promote piracy. Rather, in this space, we
offer you substitutes for the paid software
available today at no cost. In case you’re
fi nding it hard to believe, take a look at
the list on this page—all the software
mentioned here are open source and
free. (There is a lot of confusion associated
with the terms “open source” and
“freeware”. Open Source software can
be distributed at a price or for free.)
Alternative solutions have been provided
across various categories—offi ce, Internet,
security, multimedia, graphics and basic
utilities. Each category offers applications
that try to answer your needs, be it
Internet browsing or 3D modeling.
