File syncing
and storage startup Zumodrive is expanding its mobile
offerings today with free applications for Android and Palm phones. While there are a plethora of syncing
and storage services available to users, ZumoDrive, which spawned from Y Combinator startup Zecter, has a different take on file syncing.
Similar to other services, Zumodrive creates a drive on your device that is synced to the cloud.
But service includes a slightly different twist-ZumoDrive tricks the file system into thinking
those cloud-stored files are local, and streams them from the cloud when you open or access them.
The startup launched an iPhone app last year, which let users sync their content to their phone
without having to deal with local storage capacity issues. The Android and Palm apps include much
of the same functionality. The apps allows users to sync their entire iTunes library on their
phones even though the songs are not locally saved. Plus, ZumoDrive allows you to import your
files. photos albums and videos onto your Android and Palm phones.
Additional features include video streaming from ZumoDrive directly to devices in MP4, H.264
format, music organized by artist, albums, and even playlists created on other devices, the
ability to stream music in the background and listen to music over both 3G or EDGE networks.
Additionally you can access and view Microsoft Office documents and PDF files.
ZumoDrive has
been gaining traction over the past year. Fresh off of a
$1.5 million funding round, the startup
scored a deal with HP in January to to power the backend of the technology giant’s
CloudDrive on all HP Mini netbooks.
Last year, ZumoDrive released a new version of its system that wirelessly syncs playlists between
devices, auto-detects content, and lets users link file folders on their devices to ZumoDrive
only once so that changes in that folder will always be linked to ZumoDrive. The service was also
upgraded to integrate well with media applications, like iTunes, so users can play entire music
libraries saved in ZumoDrive on multiple devices without manually syncing content. We initially
reviewed Zumodrive here.

Le MIX10 est l’occasion pour Microsoft de clarifier
quelques points au sujet de Windows Phone 7 Series et notamment celui du
multitâche sur son dernier OS. Rassurez-vous, cette fonctionnalité sera
aussi performante que sur l’iPhone (sic) ! C’est-à-dire que mis
à part certaines applications maison qui pourront tourner en tâche de fond, les
applications tierces, elles, n’y auront pas droit. Écouter Spotify en naviguant sur
le web sur son smartphone ne sera donc pas possible… La raison invoquée par
Microsoft est simple : le multitâche vide la batterie. Il est vrai qu’un Palm
Pré ou un HTC Hero tient à peine 2h à cause du multitâche ? Cependant, les applications tierces auront la possibilité
d’être mises en pause, avec une récupération des données
à la réouverture. Heureusement, Charlie Kindel, manager de la plateforme
d’applications Windows Phone, précise “nous sommes prêts à
l’utiliser au final, mais pour protéger la durée de vie de la batterie et
apporter une expérience utilisateur de qualité, nous nous concentrons pour
l’instant sur les applications intégrées.” On a presque cru que Windows
Phone 7 Series était une révolution.
The Wall Street Journal and
National Public Radio (NPR) will be launching custom-built iPad-only websites next month when the
new Apple slate computer known as the iPad is made available for sale. Both sites will
automatically detect when web surfers arrive via an iPad device and will then show those visitors
a special version of the site, customized exclusively for the iPad. How exactly will these sites
compare to the web pages regular site visitors see? There's just one difference: they won't
feature any Adobe Flash technology.

NPR's New iPad Site: Entirely Flash Free
According to reports
from MediaMemo,
NPR is removing all traces of Adobe Flash, which powers its website's media and graphics, from
its iPad-only version. Although many news organizations use Flash to display multimedia
presentations and audio and video content, NPR in particular was going to be heavily affected by
Apple's refusal to support Flash on the new iPad devices. That's because a key feature on NPR's
website is its Flash-based audio player, something that's featured on nearly every webpage
site-wide.
Kinsey Wilson, senior vice president and general manager of NPR Digital Media, recently told
Poynter that their
developers decided to work around the problem by implementing an HTML5-based player instead.
Wilson also
noted that the company has a "launch sponsor" for the iPad-only site, since it won't be able
to support web ads, which are often coded in Flash.
WSJ: A Flash-Free Front Page
The Wall Street Journal, a News Corp. property, is also building an iPad-only version of their
site - well, actually just an iPad-only front page. Unlike NPR's iPad site, which will be 100%
Flash-free, WSJ visitors who follow links deeper into the website will soon discover that not all
its page have been converted. Here, they'll run into the soon-to-be-infamous "blue box," the
lego-like symbol that appears where a Flash content should have been.
There aren't any demos or mockups of these new websites available, so it's unknown at this time
if they're being changed in other ways to accommodate iPad visitors. That is to say, it's unknown
if they will be exact replicas of the non-iPad versions but just with the Flash content
removed, or if they will perhaps sport an entirely new design.
Start of a New Trend?
With these two leading media companies making this sort of change, it's reasonable to imagine
that others will soon follow. And while iPad owners will certainly appreciate the adjustments -
that blue lego is such an eyesore, after all - the need for so many custom versions of the same
site may become a burden on businesses who need to reach a wide audience.
Today, companies are already tasked with creating a traditional website, a mobile website and
sometimes a customized mobile website designed just for iPhone visitors. Now there's the
iPad-only website to code for and soon there may be another one, too. Recent
news reports state that Amazon is working on a new web browser just for their Kindle
e-Reader. Will that be yet another website needing its own custom version?
So Many Versions of the Same Site!
It's bad enough that the mobile application ecosystem itself is so fragmented - developers have
several platforms to code for from the iPhone to Android, plus Palm, Windows Mobile - including
the new Windows Phone 7 Series, Symbian and Blackberry, to name a few. Now it seems they'll have
a number of unique mobile devices to support as well?
The web was supposed to be the one unifying "platform" that works anywhere, on any device, no
matter what hardware is used to access it. But thanks to varying screen sizes and differing
feature sets (most notably Apple's refusal to allow Flash on their mobile devices), those who
want to provide compelling content to all their site visitors will be forced to re-code
their site multiple times. Publishers without the resources to do so will have to make a tough
choice - remove the unsupported content and the media that makes it slow to load on mobile
devices entirely? Or leave it be and risk losing their mobile audience instead? That's a
"Sophie's Choice" no one wants to make. Unfortunately, in a down economy where money is tight,
that may be just what happens.
Looking to impress your girlfriend on that “oh so important” first movie date? Look
no further than Fandango to help you skip the ticket line and stroll right up to seating without
greasing the palm of any theater employee. Starting today, Fandango is launching a new mobile
ticket service that will allow customers to purchase movie tickets online and have them delivered
directly to a mobile handset. The ticket will arrive as a QR code that can be displayed on a
phone and scanned by movie theater employees in lieu of a paper ticket. The program will require
special handheld scanners that are currently installed in a handful of theaters across the
country. Hit the jump to see if your local movieplex is on this coveted list.
Te following theaters will have the necessary equipment to scan these new mobile tickets:
New York: City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3, Angelika Film Center, East 86th Street
Cinemas, Village East Cinema, Beekman Theatre, The Paris Theatre.
New Jersey: Manville 12 Plex.

Fruit de l’effort de 2 hackeurs, unixpsycho (Marco) et caj2008 (Jeff), voici une
vidéo montrant un Palm Pre doté de l’OS 1.4 et
overclocké à 800MHz (au lieu des 500MHz de base…) en plein fonctionnement.
Besoin de vitesse, besoin de frisson sur votre Palm Pré ? Bien sachez que
deux hackeurs, unixpsycho et caj2008, ont reusssi l'exploit d'overclocker à 800
MHz l’OS 1.4 d'un Palm Pré (au lieu des 500MHz de base…) en plein
fonctionnement.
Bien maintenant, reste à savoir si au bout d'une utilisation un peu prolongé de
l'overclocking, le Palm ne va pas fondre mais, il fallait saluer l'exploit de ces touches
à tous (les hackeurs en général) qui contribuent à faire avancer le

Product Category: Portable Storage DeviceManufacturer:SeagateWhere to Buy:Seagate; newegg.Price: $179.99System Requirements:
ExpressCard/34 USB 3.0 card; Power Dongle; USB Cable
Pros:
Form Factor;
Back-up software included;
USB 3.0 Speed;
Capacity.
Cons:
Until you have USB 3.0 in your laptop, you have to use an ExpressCard/34 card.
Summary: This is one of the first USB 3.0 Portable Drives to hit the market.
Having half a terabyte in your hands is great, especially if you are a road warrior. The Seagate
BlackArmor drive delivers speed, capacity, and portability in a solid, user friendly, package
that provides for a complete system recovery in the palm of your hand or enough video for a
weeks' worth of trade show video demos. It is a valuable addition to any traveler.
Wow, How Times Change...
We all know about Moore's
Law, but sometimes it helps to be grounded in what it means for daily life. Some of us
remember the days when a 10 MB hard disk was the size of a hatbox. We remember opening large
cases with a Philips screwdriver, checking the interrupt jumpers on the motherboard, checking the
SCSI card jumpers before putting it in the case, manually loading the init files so we had them
in the right order in the autoexec.bat file, and then hoping the whole thing worked.
This week, I added a 500 GB drive a little bit larger than a deck of cards, about half as thick,
by plugging in an ExpressCard/34 and a driver and I will not need either of those when USB 3.0 becomes
universally available in laptops. At the time I wrote this, HP, ASUS, and Dell are all shipping
USB 3.0 laptops.
So How Does It Really Work?
Because USB 3.0 ports are not readily available, Seagate provides an ExpressCard/34 USB 3.0 card
along with the PS 110 drive. The first step is to connect BlackArmor to the laptop USB 2.0 port
to install the drivers for the USB 3.0 card. Seagate provides the drivers on the drive so you
won't find any software in the box. The drive is compatible with USB 2.0 and all you have to do
is attach to a 2.0 port, load the driver, and you're ready to install the ExpressCard/34. Because
of power requirements, there is a USB 2.0 dongle required to provide sufficient power to the
ExpressCard. The cable is long enough to use almost any USB port on a standard laptop. Once you
plug in the dongle, the light on the ExpressCard turns green and you can plug in the drive to
take advantage of the USB 3.0 speed.
The USB 3.0
Standard provides for transfer rates of up to 4.8 Gbit/s about 10x of the USB 2.0
specification of 480 Mbit/s. I ran a simple test by copying 27.4 GB of Photos and Videos to the
drive using the ExpressCard/34 USB 3.0 port and a standard USB 2.0 on my HP laptop. This is not a
test using a software package to measure time; I am just a simple user so I used the computer
clock. I also continued to do some word processing while the copy took place. On the 2.0 port, it
took 40 minutes to copy. On the 3.0 port, it took 26 minutes to copy. Almost 2x faster than the
USB 2.0 port in daily life. I'll take that improvement. The material provided to me by Seagate
indicates an expectation of a 3x improvement, but that is under ideal conditions.
The backup and restore software that's included on the drive is powered by Acronis. The software prompted me to
create a bootable CD in case of emergency. That went very well. The backup software looked as
expected. We can do a deep dive into backup software another time.
Room for Improvement
Some of us don't read instructions very well. The two-step process of installing the
ExpressCard/34 drivers before inserting the USB 3.0 card could have been highlighted more.
However, once I re-read the instructions, the process went smoothly. The power dongle off the USB
2.0 port is a bit funky, but given the availability of native USB 3.0 ports on new machines and
backward compatibility, this is acceptable given the speed improvements.
Conclusion
This is another in the line of portable drives from Seagate. BlackArmor PS 110 USB 3.0 portable
drive with USB 3.0 performance kit is a great addition to any road warrior's computer bag.

Palm (NSDQ: PALM) is finally ditching their creepy ad campaign in favor of
something more hip that demonstrates the capabilities of its new WebOS devices.
The new commercials, which will hopefully reinvigorate lagging
sales, are set to run during March Madness later this week. The ads much more closely
resemble Apple’s commercials that demonstrate how applications work on the phone, and have
the tagline “Life Moves Fast. Don’t Miss a Thing.” In this ad, an actress is
able to multi-task by checking email, her calendar and checking out her location on a map as she
walks down the street. Music in the background is by rapper Mos Def, whose beats are in rhythm
with each touch of the device.
