			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking to <strong>buy the best budget <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/laptops-notebooks-and-netbooks-what-is-the-difference/">PC/laptop/notebook</a></strong>? A <em>computer purchase can be inexpensive</em> if you know how to configure a <strong>cheap desktop PC that will fit your budget</strong>. When you are getting ready to <em>buy a computer with limited funds</em>, just remember that there is always a solution to every computer purchasing problem. However, the most important parts to check when choosing a laptop are the <em>components that are hard to upgrade: the processor, screen and graphics card</em>. Paying a little more for a machine with a newer processor is often wise, as it&#8217;ll be more future-proof.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <em>best place to start when buying a computer on a budget is a larger computer manufacturer</em>. When you stick with a large manufacturer, you can leverage the company&#8217;s buying power to your advantage. Your components will cost less and you will get the highest quality possible with your limited financial resources.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6310" title="Top 5 Things to Consider Before Buying The Best Budget Laptop" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Top-5-Things-to-Consider-Before-Buying-The-Best-Budget-Laptop.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="258" /><strong></strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Processor</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Intel is a great choice for a processor. But if you are on a budget and not going to do perform any high-CPU consuming activities like <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/buyers-guide-best-multi-monitor-day-trading-computer/">day-trading</a>, then it is good to know that you can choose another high quality processor and still get the speed you are looking for. Intel it still the high water mark in processors, but the competition has made huge strides in offering inexpensive alternatives. You will not be sacrificing speed when you choose any processor that a reputable computer manufacturer offers you.<span id="more-6308"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Software Packages</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, grabbing good hardware&#8217;s only half the battle. Big software manufacturers will happily relieve you of any leftover cash in exchange for their wares.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But luckily, aside from your operating system and your antivirus software, the rest of your software is optional. Instead of clicking on a software package without reading it, you should first make certain that you will use the titles you are paying for. If you do not need a particular software package, then keep your computer pricing low by not adding the package to your system. The same goes for anti-virus/spyware and other security software. Don&#8217;t be scared into buying big corporate programs. Check out their no-spend equivalents in the Free Anti-Virus &amp; Safety Software guide.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sound and Video</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you are on a budget, you need to expect that you will not be getting the most up to date sound and video cards in your system. However, the larger computer manufacturers offer motherboards with quality sound and video cards built into the system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you get sound and video built into your motherboard, just be certain that you have plenty of system memory to give your computer the speed you need. System memory is less expensive than separate audio and video cards. So you will be enjoying a cost savings when you use integrated functions in your computer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Speakers</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A basic computer that uses basic computer speakers gives extremely full sound. Unless you have a specific program where you need true surround sound, you can save yourself a lot of money on your computer configuration by going with the basic speakers that often come with the system.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wireless Mouse and Keyboard </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People love getting a wireless mouse and keyboard with their computer system, but there is really no need for it. Substituting the standard mouse and keyboard with a wireless system costs more money. In the end, the corded mouse and keyboard are more than adequate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Also Checkout: <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/top-5-best-budget-smartphones/"><em>Top 5 Best Budget Smartphones</em></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you use these configuration suggestions, you will be able to get the PC you want within your budget. Remember that you can upgrade your computer later as you are financially able. As long as you have a good computer to start with, then you will get your money&#8217;s worth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You  know that you can browse the internet with your android phone but did  you know that you can actually convert it into a hub, so you can browse  the internet through it on your PC? You may not be aware that you can  actually <strong>turn your Android phone into a wireless hub</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can use your <strong>Android-powered mobile smartphone as a wireless hotspot for multiple devices</strong> while continuing to use standard phone features, such as making and  receiving calls or sending and receiving text messages. Most mobile  phone providers require an additional data plan to use your phone as a <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/how-mobile-routers-are-impacting-hot-spot-sales/"><em>mobile hub/hotspot/router</em></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6306" title="How to Turn Your Android Smartphone Into a Wireless Hotspot" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/How-to-Turn-Your-Android-Smartphone-Into-a-Wireless-Hotspot.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="277" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Agreed; that you  might be put off even starting this process because you think that  Android phones are still considerably expensive, well they have been on  the market for long enough now that you can find some great deals. If  you visit a price comparison site like uSwitch, then you can search for  great <a href="http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/compare/android_mobile_phones/" target="_blank">android phone deals</a>. Once you have bought yourself a cool new Android smartphone, turning it into a wireless hub wouldn&#8217;t be much of a hassle. Read on&#8230;<span id="more-6305"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How to Turn Your Android Smartphone Into a Wireless Hotspot?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The steps to enable the mobile hotspot on your phone will vary depending on the device.  Here is how you set up your phone as a wireless hub…</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>First You Need to Tether</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There  are many ways you can tether your phone to your personal PC, laptop or  Mac. However they may require adapting advanced settings on your Android  device; we won&#8217;t be advising that. The advice we will give means  downloading some <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-4-best-apps-for-mobile-wi-fi/">Android apps</a> (programs) directly on to your phone and changing a few  basic settings.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Use PDAnet App to Turn Android Phone Into a Wireless Router</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You  need to start by opening up the Android Market and looking for an  application called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&amp;hl=en"><strong>PDANet</strong></a>. This is <strong>free of charge</strong>, so download it  straight on to your phone. The latest version of PDAnet turns your Android  (any version) into a true WiFi HotSpot so that you can connect from your computer (MAC or PC) or iPads. This allows your laptop to go online wirelessly through the 2G/3G/4G network on the Android Phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the best part? <strong>PDAnet supports USB/Bluetooth DUN</strong> and it <strong>does not require a tether plan or rooting</strong>. At just one click, PdaNet instantly shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer. It does NOT require root access or hacking your phone&#8217;s firmware. It works on all Android phones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you have it installed, you need to get the accompanying program to  your personal computer. Make sure you select the right one for your PC,  which should be clearly labelled. The program will be in several versions , so best to get the most recent, if your computer supports  this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then  you just need to change one setting on your phone. Start at the  home screen, then hit the Menu key and go to settings. Then go to  Applications, then to Development. The next step is to hit USB  debugging. Then finally hit OK on the confirmation dialog box.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now  the <strong>PdaNet app</strong> should stream information straight from your android to  your computer. To protect yourself, you should disallow that USB  debugging setting whenever it is not in use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then you need to start the connection. To  do this, make sure you phone is plugged into the USB plug on your  computer. Start the PdaNet app on your android and hit the Enable USB  Tether setting. The app will check for the PC equivalent, that you have  already installed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It  will then let you know that it is operating in the background. Then you  need to look on your computer, and look for the PdaNet setting, right  click on this and hit Connect from the menu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You should now have confirmation that you are connected and your PC should be running through your phone. That&#8217;s it! You can now <strong>use your Android phone&#8217;s data plan to connect your PC or Mac to the internet &#8212; FREE of cost</strong>. And yes, the PdaNet app also has another option ‘<em>Enable Bluetooth DUN</em>’. If you have Bluetooth then you could always connect without  wireless and use this option instead.</p>

The 3D capability is just a new feature being added to new HDTVs.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Last year, David Attenborough’s <em>environmental documentary <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2092588/">Frozen Planet</a></em> was arguably the <strong>highlight of the TV schedule</strong>, winning the hearts of the global public. Set in the Arctic and the Antarctic, this brilliant show focused on the myriad of wildlife in the chillier parts of the world. And people who were better equipped with a cutting-edge <strong>high-definition LED TV</strong> set enjoyed the show more than the average watchers!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>LED backlit</strong> <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/3d/"><strong>3D TV</strong></a> is the big buzz word in the audio-visual world at the moment. In a  bid to help you navigate these at times confusing waters, we&#8217;ve  gathered together our reviews of the <strong>best 3D TVs</strong> of the recent times.  Including <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/samsung-sells-2-million-internet-connected-smart-tv-sets/">3D TVs from Samsung</a>, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp and LG. So if want  the perfect 3D TV for your living room, read on as we try to help you  to decide which 3D TV is right for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6292" title="Why LED 3D HD TVs are Best to Watch TV Shows Movies and Play Video Games" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Why-LED-3D-HD-TVs-are-Best-to-Watch-TV-Shows-Movies-and-Play-Video-Games.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="271" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <em>first 3D-capable HDTVs were demonstrated in early January 2010 at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES)</em> in Las Vegas, Nevada. Whether you want it or not, chances are your next <em>new HDTV will include 3D capability</em>. This does not mean that you will be forced to watch 3D programming if you don&#8217;t want to. The 3D capability is just a new feature being added to <strong>new HDTVs</strong>.<span id="more-6291"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with Sony and Samsung, Sharp is a leading manufacturer of high quality high definition television (HDTV) products. Sharp’s line of LCD TVs is the best on the market and the company offers the world’s largest LED screen with an 80-inch diagonal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As <strong>3D technology</strong> becomes increasingly more impressive, you may ask yourself if a <strong>3D TV</strong> is your next big entertainment investment. The best 3D HDTVs, such as the <strong>Panasonic TC-P55VT30</strong>, <strong>LG 55LW6500</strong> and the <strong>Sony XBR-HX929</strong> display lifelike, vibrant images that seem to come out of the screen  and into your living room. Three-dimensional films are no longer cinema  exclusive; they are now a very real option for your home theater.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And with fast moving display-innovations, <strong>glass-free 3D technology</strong> and <strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/rovio-confirms-angry-birds-windows-phone-7-and-3d/">3D game</a>s</strong> have already started seeing consumer&#8217;s homes. At the unveiling last year at the IFA Technology Fair in Berlin, 3D enthusiasts stood on a line watching <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/toshibas-glasses-free-3d-tv-launches-in-europe-as-the-zl2-in-de/">Toshiba’s glass-less 3D</a> display without glasses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When talking about new generation TV sets, how can one forget about the brand Sharp? As one of the oldest manufacturers of HDTVs, Sharp products are renowned for their high quality. The company is a leader in high definition LED technology and it has gained a reputation for always pushing the bounds in delivering excellent products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sharp LED TVs have real rather than dynamic contrast ratios of 800:1. This provides for excellent viewing of darkly lit scenes. If power consumption and Eco-friendliness is a concern, the AQUOS LED TVs feature high quality displays with a 30 percent reduction in power usage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There’s a vast range of shows to inspire, delight and boggle your brain this year – choosing what to watch is the only trouble! Whichever programs you decide on, however, a high-quality TV set is a must for full enjoyment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a good range of market leading LED TVs available online.  Why don&#8217;t you check out a <a href="http://www.kandco.com/electricals/sharp/televisions/e/b/4294958000,4740.end">Sharp TV at K&amp;Co.</a>? With a number of HD-ready, Free view-integrated models to choose from, you can enjoy your favorite shows with fantastic picture quality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No matter what your feelings are about 3D TV, it is here and it looks like it is here to stay for the foreseeable future. However, you are still free to choose whether you will watch 3D on your new TV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Samsung has just officially launched the new Galaxy flagship phone, the S III</strong> at an event in London. On <strong>May 29th, the handset will be available to buy</strong>, <em>either on a new contract, as an upgrade, or just outright, SIM free and unlocked</em>. But, after all the rumors and built-up expectations relating to <strong>Samsung Galaxy S III</strong> have come to pass, we wonder if it was all worth it and how <strong>Samsung&#8217;s newest <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/top-5-awesome-smartphones-to-buy-in-2012/">super smartphone</a> might change Android</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But before we proceed with the technical features, full specifications and screen size etc, let me warn you &#8212; <strong>The Samsung Galaxy S III design is ugly</strong>. You have a first look at it and you will start wondering, &#8220;h<em>ow did something like this ever make it out of Samsung&#8217;s design studio</em>?&#8221; Don&#8217;t get me wrong; specs wise the S III is still a <strong>great smartphone</strong> that we have ever seen but megapixels and gigabytes don&#8217;t mean anything if they&#8217;re not wrapped up  in a decent package, so is the <strong>Samsung Galaxy S 3 a worthy successor to  the much-loved Galaxy S 2? </strong>Lets find out&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6272" title="Samsung Galaxy S III Launched; Features, Specifications and Review" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Launched-Features-Specifications-and-Review.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="281" /><strong></strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span id="more-6271"></span>Galaxy S III Design</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This rounded-corner design that was first seen in Galaxy S I and later dropped in the S II has now returned in the new Galaxy S III. With more rounded edges and a <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/android-powered-budget-smartphone-samsung-galaxy-fit-review/">plastic form factor</a> it might not be a design that many hard-core smartphone fans are going to find attractive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Where Samsung falls behind its direct competitor is in the actual feel of the phone. Although the sides of the white Galaxy S III and the front of the dark blue version both sport a brushed metal look, they&#8217;re made out of good old plastic. Alas, as much as we wished Samsung would move away from cheap-feeling (if sturdy) materials, the GS III is just keeping up with tradition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, the distinctive metallic rim is seen around the phone&#8217;s edges, consistent with rest of the Samsung Galaxy flagship models. But it is disappointing not to have screen-embedded buttons in the S III, as it would have made an excellent addition to the device. Samsung has said the <strong>Galaxy S III design was inspired by nature</strong>, with its minimal and organic look that is reflected by its smooth and non-linear lines of the device. However, I&#8217;m not entirely sure  if consumers are going to agree to that!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Samsung Galaxy S III Hardware Specs</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The handset official specs include a <strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/giant-42-inch-nexus-s-at-best-buy-is-worlds-largest-android-phone-ever-video/">super large display screen</a> with 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display </strong>with a 720p resolution (1,280&#215;720 pixels), HSPA+ connectivity, an <strong>8-megapixel camera</strong>, 2,100mAh removable battery, as well as a <strong>quad-core Exynos processor</strong>. It runs <strong>Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich</strong> as its operating system, and will come in <strong>two color options</strong>: <strong>blue or white</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Samsung has also made its 2,100mAh battery removable, and the handset will come in three storage capacities: <strong>16GB, 32GB, and 64GB</strong> (this latter size won&#8217;t be immediately available). In addition, it has a <strong>microSD card slot</strong> for up to another <strong>64GB of storage</strong>. The handset will have <strong>1GB RAM</strong> for running applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like the S II, the S III will feature an 8-megapixel camera and it also sports a &#8220;<strong>select your best shot</strong>&#8221; feature after taking multiple shots. The 8-megapixel camera on the new Samsung phone is integrated better than on the One X: it sits flush with the back of the phone instead of protruding from it.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Galaxy S III Release Date</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On <strong><strong>May 29th, the </strong>Samsung Galaxy S III </strong><strong><strong>will be available to buy</strong> </strong>and will launch in <strong>145 countries</strong> in partnership with 296 wireless carriers,  with the 3G HSPA+ version  set to launch in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the  Middle East in May,  while a 4G model will make its debut in the United  States, Japan, and  Korea later this summer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bottom-line<br />
</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The<strong> plastic feeling of the Galaxy S3 won&#8217;t  appeal to all</strong>. It feels very lightweight (despite tipping the scales at  133g) in the hand, and some people will read this as <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/which-phone-to-buy-samsung-galaxy-y-vs-nokia-asha-300/">feeling a little  cheap</a>. Having said that, they did just the same for the Galaxy S II and it&#8217;s <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/samsung-sells-2-million-internet-connected-smart-tv-sets/">sales figure</a> was enough to silent any critic. I will be interested to see if I&#8217;m proven wrong this time around though.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, the effect is much more like the <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/google-launches-nexus-s-samsung-phone-with-gingerbread/">Samsung Galaxy Nexus</a> than anything else – rounded edges, HD screen and whatnot. When there isn&#8217;t any doubt the processor is pretty impressive, however, there is a worry that the quad core 1.4 GHz Exynos CPU could suck battery power a little too dramatically.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But the first ever <strong>4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display screen</strong> looks great, the slick operation under the finger is  exactly what we wanted and the little touches like the rippling lock  screen do actually feel quite natural.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Setting up your <strong>day trading station (personal computer)</strong> will take a bit of research and money. It’s important for you to invest in your day trading setup if you want to have a potentially better outcome for your career. Some make the mistake of buying a day <a rel="nofollow" href="http://tradingcomputersnow.com/" target="_blank">trading computer</a> that is insufficient. If you’re looking to purchase your very <strong>first trading computer (PC)</strong> or would like to upgrade from the current system you have, you can easily do so once you have the right knowledge.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6249" title="Buyer’s Guide Best Multi-Monitor Day Trading Computer" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Buyer’s-Guide-Best-Multi-Monitor-Day-Trading-Computer.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="270" /><strong></strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How does a Day Trading Computer Compare to a Regular Computer? </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Day Trading Computer is definitely a step up, or 3, from a regular computer; it is a <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-5-most-inexpensive-ways-to-make-your-computer-faster/">very fast computer</a>! If you&#8217;re a day trader doing some research and making sure you get exactly what you need is the first thing you should do.  These computers come standard with a lot of stuff but look into any upgrades that could really make a difference for you.  For instance, great quality video cards are a must for day trading computers.<span id="more-6248"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Processor and Motherboard</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These two components are very important in any computer. You will find that having a <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-3-best-tips-for-speeding-up-your-pc/">high-end processor</a> and motherboard will make your system more powerful and fast. Not knowing which brands and models to go for will leave you in the dust in this industry. A lot of day traders have already upgraded their systems with these components.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are three processors that suit the tasks of day traders, and those are the i7-990X, i7-2600K and i7-950. The cheapest of them is the i7-950, but offers the minimum clock speeds that day trader should have. Your best option would be to go with the i7-2600K and if money isn’t an issue, the i7-990X. The motherboards to stay away from are ASRock and Intel. Asus is known for having the best motherboards out there.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Graphics Card</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When having <strong>multiple monitors</strong> set up for your day trading station, you’re going to need a graphics card that will display everything accurately. You don’t want your screens blacking out or acting up. The one that is recommended for multiple monitors is the ATI FirePro 2460 PCle 2.0&#215;16. This is a great choice for day traders and is used in the best day trading computers out there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to operate <strong>multi-monitors</strong> on such a system, you have to get a dual-head PCIe card like the NVidia Quadro NVS 290 or the Matrox Millennium P690 PCIe graphics card. These cards have become the standard for business graphics and widely used in high powered business workstations.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Buying Multiple Monitors</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every day trader who is heavily into the industry should be using <a rel="nofollow" href="http://tradingcomputersnow.com/monitors/" target="_blank">multiple monitors</a>. If your setup doesn’t have them or doesn’t support multi-screens, then it’s time for an upgrade. You can find customized trading computers that can support up to eight monitors. Most only use around four, but it all depends on your own specific needs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most important factors to note is that the <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/top-5-super-big-screen-tvs-that-money-can-buy-in-2011/">screen size</a> should be at least 19&#8243; or larger to provide a decent usable viewing area for all your charts. Ideally, you should set your screen resolution to at least 1280&#215;1024 or more. For LCDs, you have a choice of either digital or analog monitors and if budget is not a constraint, go with the digital (DVI), HDMI or DisplayPort ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To greatly reduce eyestrain when constantly looking at charts for long periods, you should ensure that the monitor you choose can support refresh rates of at least 60Hz or higher at the screen resolution you will be using.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sufficient Memory RAM and Hard Drive Space</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your multiple monitor trading setup should also come with lots of RAM and hard drive space. The recommended amount of RAM that day traders should have is a minimum of 3 GB. For better performance, you should aim for 6 GB to 16 GB instead. As for hard drive space, it’s a good idea to go with 1 terabyte of hard drive space.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A lot of day traders are crossing over from the traditional hard drives to solid state drives. This isn’t necessary yet, but if you like to stay ahead of the game, then you should definitely invest in one.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It seems like the <strong>latest smartphones</strong> come with a rather lofty price tag. With today’s economy, many consumers are on budgets. While they want smartphones, they simply cannot afford the high price tag that comes with many of the latest models. However, there are some <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/nokia-lumia-cheapest-windows-smartphone/">cheap mobile smartphones</a> that can serve the same purpose without a huge expense.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6228" title="Top 5 Best Cheap Budget-Friendly Smartphones" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Top-5-Best-Cheap-Budget-Friendly-Smartphones.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="250" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;ll find some of the most popular handsets available today on our list of the best budget smartphones. And without further ado, here’s our <strong>Top 5 List of cheaply-priced smartphones</strong>. Do note that we’ve listed the phones in random order.<span id="more-6227"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Samsung Galaxy Ace</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One particular smartphone that is rather inexpensive would be the <strong>Samsung Galaxy Ace</strong>. This Android phone features rounded corners and a dedicated home button. Some compare its look to that of the iPhone. The phone comes with a model 800MHz processor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It does use the Android Operating System. However, the version is the older 2.2. This is the trade-off for the reduced price. However, the phone is still capable of performing functions you would expect from a <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/smartphone/">smartphone</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>LG Optimus Pro<br />
</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/lg-optimus-2x-full-walkthrough-and-hands-on-review/">LG Optimus</a> model comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and is powered by 800 MHz processor. The display is little bit in the smaller side; 2.8 inches TFT Capacitive touch screen display is used in this phone. The best feature you will find in LG Optimus Pro is QWERTY keyboard. Type Email, SMS fast just like the way you want.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">LG Optimus Pro comes with 150 MB of internal storage and micro SD card slot that can house up to 32 GB of memory. A 2GB card is included with the sales pack. Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery comes up with 13 hours of talk time which is really amazing for an Android phone.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>HTC Radar</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HTC’s Radar is another budget friendly smartphone. This phone comes with the Windows Phone Operating System. The phones with the Hub and weather app that is standard on HTC models. It comes with a powerful 1GHz processor with a very appealing price tag.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, HTC Radar comes with great, quality build,  a loud speakerphone, contacts integration is top-notch, keyboard is fantastic and its browser is great and text looks clear.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nokia’s Lumia 710</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nokia’s Lumia 710 is another budget smartphone. It uses Windows Mango 7.5 and has a 1.4 GHz Snapdragon processor. The screen measures 3.7 inches and uses anti-glare materials. This makes it much easier to read the display screen when out in the sun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It does come with a camera featuring a resolution of 5 megapixels. LED flash and HD video recording are also possibilities with the Nokia Lumia 710.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>BlackBerry Curve 3G</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">RIM&#8217;s BlackBerry Curve smartphones have long been among my favorite devices. They offer the excellent e-mail handling that BlackBerry phones are known for, but in a sleek, curved device that&#8217;s appealing to consumers. And the BlackBerry Curve 3G offers all of that, plus 3G connectivity and an affordable price.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, <a href="http://techchunks.com/gadgets/top-5-awesome-smartphones-to-buy-in-2012/">best smartphones of 2012</a> are not necessarily cheap. Prices typically are set by the service providers, who offer discounts   in order to get you to sign a service contract. It&#8217;s usually worth it to   sign the contract, as you&#8217;ll need a voice and data plan to use the   phone, anyway. Just make sure you read the fine print. If you want information on <a href="http://www.phones4u.co.uk">more mobile phone deals</a> that you can check out at www.phones4u.co.uk.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, we do know that there exists a smartphone which runs on the Windows Phone platform known as the Nokia Lumia 610, but here is a refreshing take on said handset by the Finnish mobile phone manufacturers – by throwing in NFC (Near Field Communication) capability, and hence, the smartphone is now called the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Nokia, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of mobile handsets has <strong>announced launch</strong> of two of its <a href="http://www.dialaphone.co.uk">latest mobile phone releases</a>, both of which utilize the <strong>Windows Phone operating system</strong> which a recent report indicated is now proving more popular with users of Nokia phones than the <strong>Symbian operating system</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6220" title="Nokia Lumia - Cheapest Windows Smartphone" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Nokia-Lumia-Cheapest-Windows-Smartphone.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="280" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This report demonstrates the vital importance of the relationship which <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/nokia/">Nokia</a> has built with both Microsoft and Windows Phone, to the continued sales success of the company’s mobile devices, making the launch of these two new phones with the Microsoft developed operating system crucial.<span id="more-6219"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first of the two new phones that the company is offering the users of <strong>Nokia phones</strong> is the<strong> Lumia 610 NFC</strong>, a phone that Nokia is describing in publicity materials as a ‘<strong>cheapest smartphone</strong>’, retailing at a price of around £160 &#8211; which will be available to UK users of Nokia phones from the second half of 2012.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not only will the Nokia Lumia 610 be  the most affordable Nokia Lumia smartphone, it&#8217;s also one of the most  forward-thinking. It is the first Nokia Lumia, and the first Windows  Phone, to feature <strong>Near Field Communication (NFC) technology</strong> that will  soon change the way we all use smartphones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NFC is a fantastic technology that makes the fiddly things easy, and the easy things even easier. NFC technology has been floating in the background for a while up to now, but thanks to new handsets such as the Nokia Lumia 610 we can expect to hear lots more about NFC in 2012.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other new phone launched by the company is the <strong>Lumia 900</strong>, which is an upgraded version of its more high-end smartphone. However the new Lumia 900 utilizes the Symbian operating system which offers possible indications of problems in the relationship between Microsoft and Nokia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Nokia Lumia 900&#8242;</strong>s eye-popping unibody design sets a new direction for smartphone style. Its LTE speeds, vivid 4.3-inch screen, and 8-megapixel camera are high points.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nokia sorely needs a &#8220;<strong>superhero smartphone</strong>&#8221; with the looks, the speeds, the specs, and a price that will hush the doubters. With the Lumia 610 NFC and 900, Nokia proves that it has the ability to compete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Were these indications accurate that this would be a further blow to Nokia, which saw itself overtaken as the biggest smartphone manufacturer last year, by the smaller rival company Apple.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was this, combined with the company’s dip in the overall market share for the smartphone area, that saw it decide to practically abandon the Meego and Symbian operating systems used previously in Nokia phones, in favor of a marriage of convenience with Microsoft, that would see Nokia phones using the Windows Phone system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Check this <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/nokia-unveils-gold-plated-symbian-powered-smartphone-oro/">Gold Plated Nokia Smartphone Oro</a> [World's Costliest </strong><strong>Symbian-Powered </strong><strong>Smartphone]</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Further emphasizing the company’s commitment to this partnership, the newly developed Nokia apps store – Ovi – was integrated with the Windows Phone Marketplace, making any difficulties in this relationship, problematic for Nokia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Two centuries had past when the term “<a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/gadgets/"><strong>gadget</strong></a>” was first used by individuals whose device name was not exactly known. It was then during that time that its name has been argued and was taken under consideration. Later, when it was traced back, people then had the chance to know where it really originated and at the same time it started to become highly popular. Since then, this gives way to the <strong>rise of technology and technological items</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When people are trying to find ways to <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/how-to-amplify-your-cell-phone-signal-using-signal-boosters/">amplify and boost their cell phone signals</a>, here is a man who regularly rides <strong>Philadelphia&#8217;s buses</strong> and admits he <strong>jams all cell phones</strong> <em>so he can get peace and quiet on the ride</em>. He claims he&#8217;s <em>taking the law into his own hands to silence his commute</em> by activating a <strong>mobile phone jammer</strong>, that typically cost about $1000 and <em>can block signals in a room about the size of a movie theater</em> and are <em>illegal in many countries, including the United States</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6182" title="Philly Man Busted Using Banned Cell Phone Jammer on City Buses" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Philly-Man-Busted-Using-Banned-Cell-Phone-Jammer-on-City-Buses.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="285" /><strong> </strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cell Phone Jamming Commuter Disrupts Service On Public Buses</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At a point when the world is talking about the <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/future-of-mobility-the-evolution-of-the-cell-phones/">future of mobility</a>, this particular man apparently decided he&#8217;d had enough with listening to his fellow bus passengers chatter away on their cellphones. But instead of buying himself some noise-canceling headphones or politely asking people to slow down, he decided he&#8217;d have to fight back with a <strong>hand-held device that jams their cell phone signals</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<em>I guess I&#8217;m taking the law into my own hands. And, quite frankly, I&#8217;m proud of it</em>,&#8221; the man who calls himself Eric told NBC.  Eric says he doesn’t want to hear people talking on their cell phones in public.  “<em>It’s still pretty irritating and quite frankly it’s pretty rude,</em>” said Eric.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>A lot of people are extremely loud, no sense of just privacy or  anything, when it becomes a bother, that’s when I screw on the antenna  and flip the switch,</em>” said Eric.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A daily passenger who used to watch Eric freaked out when she saw the man jamming passengers’ cell phones on her bus ride to work. “<em>He’s blatantly holding this device that looks like a walkie-talkie with four very thick antennae. I started to watch him and any time somebody started talking on the phone, he would start pressing the button on the side of the device,</em>” said the passenger who alerted the NBC10 Investigators who went undercover to catch the cell phone vigilante with a hidden camera.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some will sympathize with Eric&#8217;s pain. Not so long ago, a lady was thrown off a train after allegedly talking for 16 hours on her cell phone. Non-stop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Drexel University&#8217;s Dr. Rob D’Ovidio works with cell phone forensics and electronic crime. D’Ovidio says some cell phone jammers are <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/18-cell-phone-security-tips-to-protect-you-against-identity-and-information-theft/">security concerns</a> as they can stop GPS, two-way radios and can even block police radio if they’re close enough. Imagine being in an emergency and a cell phone jammer blocks you from sending a distress call to 911!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>With cell phone jammers you are limiting all types of communication tools that use the radio frequencies. You have the potential to cause a public safety disaster. Cutting off communication by not only our public officials to their dispatch centers but also cutting off the public’s communication to 911 can be a dangerous thing,</em>” said Dr. D’Ovidio.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="v=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcphiladelphia.com%2Fi%2Fembed_new%2F%3Fcid%3D140983823%26path=$encodedPath" /><param name="src" value="http://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/designvideo/embeddedPlayer.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="300" src="http://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/designvideo/embeddedPlayer.swf" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="v=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcphiladelphia.com%2Fi%2Fembed_new%2F%3Fcid%3D140983823%26path=$encodedPath"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The jammers emit a special modulated wave that not only interferes with <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/iphone-4-signal-failure-flaw-exposed-video/">cell phone signals</a>, but also radio frequencies including those used by emergency personnel and police. Under federal law, these devices are illegal to use, own, buy or sell, and doing so could mean jail time and up to $16,000 in fines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, Eric, having now reportedly confirmed that his jammer might put him in the slammer, has promised he will <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/iphone-4-getting-destroyed-in-seconds-video/">destroy his device</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple has not yet confirmed when it will introduce the iPad 3, the next version of its popular tablet computer. But the consensus among industry observers indicates a release date in early March. We've compiled a list of top 10 things we'd like to see in the third generation iPad.

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The internet is already buzzing with <strong>iPad3 release date</strong> rumor mills starting from its <strong>retina display-like high resolution, A6 quad-core processor, and support for 4G LTE networks</strong>. Unless there’s a drastic change to Apple’s release cycle for the iPad, we will see the <strong>iPad 3 released</strong> in the first 3-4 months of the new year – most likely in <strong>February or March 2012.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6170" title="iPad 3 Wishlist Top 10 Best Features We Want in Next Apple Tablet" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/iPad-3-Wishlist-Top-10-Best-Features-We-Want-in-Next-Apple-Tablet.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="277" /></strong>In addition to these what if Apple surprises us with a host of other killer features. Below are some of the items that are on top of the wish lists of iPad users.<span id="more-6169"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Siri on iPad 3 </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Apple&#8217;s Siri personal assistant &#8212; the darlingof all iPhone 4 S users, could use a bigger living room. Imagine dictating Siri to send a mail for you!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Needless to mention, <strong>Siri on iPad 3</strong> can attract <a href="http://techchunks.com/blogging/blogging-on-apple-ipad-do-or-dont/">bloggers and enterprise customers</a>. Recently some references were discovered showing ‘Siri Dictation’ in the iOS 5.1 Beta update. A new section labeled ‘About Privacy and Dictation’ in the keyboard menu raises further hopes on Siri featuring in iPad3.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Improved iPad Camera</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The back facing camera on iPhone 4S delivers 8 MP and 1020p HD video. With the current 720p .7 MP iPad 2 camera it leaves us with lot to wish for. Hope Apple comes up with a much better resolution camera in iPad 3 that also delivers 1020p high definition video output.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We would love a flash to be put on the iPad 3 camera &#8212; right now on iPad 2, if you are not in bright light the pics don’t come out all that great. How about a much better better camera with a xenon flash?</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. A Blazing Fast Quad-Core Processor</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rumors have already been suggesting that the upcoming iPad 3 will be blessed with a super-fast quad-core A6 processor. However, it won&#8217;t be self defrosting like the Intel processors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And considering the other <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-10-upcoming-android-tablets-that-are-better-than-apple-ipad/">Android tablets</a> around, the quad-core processor on iPad 3 is hardly a stretch to believe.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. An Upgrade to 1GB of RAM</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was hoping to see this on the iPad 2, and I  think it’s definitely time for this in the next gen. This would be a big  boost for iPad gamers and game developers, as well as for all of us who  like running a number of <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-20-best-yet-free-ipad-apps-for-your-apple-tablet/">powerful apps of all kinds on our iPads</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Next Level Gaming</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How about having <strong>3D support and  Vibration effects</strong>? That would enhance the gaming experience on an iPad.  <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/top-10-ever-green-best-yet-free-iphone-and-ipad-apps/">App developers</a> can leverage the power of A6 quad-core processor to  develop gaming space further.</p>
