“Nokia said price changes were part of its normal, ongoing business. The world’s top cellphone maker usually cuts prices across its portfolio a few times each year.Several industry sources told Reuters Nokia had cut prices by up to 10 percent.After the price cut Nokia’s cheapest smartphone model, the 5230, retails for around 170 euros ($239) in Finland. The model’s wholesale price is now below 120 euros.Demand for cheaper smartphones has helped the segment grow despite the recession, defying the broader, weaker industry trend. Sales jumped 30 percent in the October-December quarter according to research firm Strategy Analytics.Nokia said last week that revenue from smartphones jumped 26 percent in the quarter from the previous quarter to 3.9 billion euros, helping power its overall result. The average wholesale price of its smartphones dipped to 186 euros from 190 euros in the third quarter.The falling prices have hurt handset vendors like Sony Ericsson, who have focused on mid-range or feature phones, which often boast good cameras or music players but lack computer-like open operating systems.These have been cheaper than smartphones, but the price difference is declining fast.”This latest round of price adjustments sees Nokia taking its low-cost Symbian devices into new territory,” said Ben Wood, research director at CCS Insight, a British firm that tracks the wholesale prices of mobile phones in Europe.Nokia’s price cuts come as the industry returns to growth following a grim 2009 marked by recession-hit consumer demand. Nokia says it expects the cellphone market to grow 10 percent this year.” via reuters.com

I need these sites on a daily basis. Work and personal reasons.

I had HP iPAQ rx3710, Asus P535 and currently I’m an owner of HTC Hero. So I was always wondering why do they have so little memory, is the memory for smartphones/PDA some special, expensive or difficult to manufacture? Why don’t the producers equip them with gigabytes of memory? Because usual RAM for PCs and laptops is relatively cheap.

I mostly consider RAM because one can always insert a flash memory, so flash storage is not a big deal. Thanks for your answers

My understanding is that there is a program where you pretty much build up your own database. You enter signs, symptoms, diagnostics, labs, and treatment into the program. You start checking off signs and symptoms and your differential list gets smaller. I’m a medical student and wanted to learn more about this program (if such exists). Thank you in advance.

Voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) is a remarkable technology that lets us talk to one another from our home computers. It provides an efficient and flexible way for us to communicate at work and at home, and the cost savings versus conventional telephone services are incredible. It requires little upfront investment, and you have the ability to travel with your phone number all over the world. It is a technology that almost seems too good to be true. As with any relatively new technology, though, there are technical kinks with VOIP that continue to need refining and development in order for the technology to reach its fullest potential as a replacement for the current telephone systems that we are accustomed to using.
