| ICANN approves .XXX domain names Posted: 18 Mar 2011 01:36 PM PDT  Porn sites will officially be able to label their websites with a .XXX domain name after the ICANN governing body voted in favour of the new suffix. The expected resolution passed despite large-scale protests from the adult entertainment industry, which is angry that it will have to repurchase domain names. The change effectively gives the internet its own red light district, completely set aside for adult entertainment, so now no-one has the excuse that they 'accidentally typed in the wrong url.' ICANN hopes that .XXX will help keep minors away from porn, while the new heavily-regulated area will give users more confidence that their payments will be secure and less at risk from fraudsters. Landmark "ICANN's decision to give .XXX final approval is a landmark moment for the internet," said Stuart Lawley, the chief executive of ICM, who will oversee the switch. "We believe consumers will be more prepared to make purchases on .XXX sites, safe in the knowledge their payments will be secure. "Tens of thousands of adult entertainment website owners recognize the business benefits of .XXX and have already applied to pre-reserve over 200,000 .XXX domains." Dotcom websites have been able to pre-register their .XXX domain for free since last year, but others will be forced to pay upto $70 to make the change.

| Angry Birds set to fly on the stock market Posted: 18 Mar 2011 12:45 PM PDT  Angry Birds developer Rovio is set to complete its rise from obscure mobile games pusher to international phenomenon by launching on the New York Stock Exchange. The Finnish company has released a statement saying a public offering (IPO) is on the cards, but specifics are yet to be confirmed. "The plan is to seek an initial public offering (IPO) in New York, but the specific timing and details are still open," said Friday's statement. The company has recently received $42m in financial backing, including support from the founder of Skype and early Facebook-backer Accel. Phenomenon Angry Birds has been downloaded over 75,000,000 times on the various mobile platforms, with new versions continuing to arrive thick and fast. 2011 promises more releases on platforms like Facebook and the Nintendo 3DS, while animated cartoons and movies are also on the cards.

| 3DS could be good for kids' eyesight Posted: 18 Mar 2011 12:03 PM PDT  The Nintendo 3DS console might be good for the eyesight of young children, despite Ninty warning that it shouldn't be used by kids under six. The news, which will come as a massive boost to five year-old hardcore gamers, comes from a leading optometrics group, which says it could help reveal problems that have to be caught early to be fixed. If youngsters are unable to see the glasses-less 3D effect served up by the console, then they might have amblyopia (lazy eye) which can be treated more easily while the vision is still developing. "The 3DS could be a godsend for identifying kids under six who need vision therapy," said Michael Duenas of the American Optometric Association. Like an eye exam Duenas says that only 15 per cent of kids under 6 get a comprehensive eye exam that would pick up problems. He says kids who gets headaches or feels dizzy using the 3DS should also get checked-out. Back in December Nintendo issued a warning saying that "there is a possibility that 3D images which send different images to the left and right eye could affect the development of vision in small children." We'd imagine that if kids claim they can't see the 3D-effect, parents will just end up taking the console back to the store claiming it's broken, rather than take their young-ones to an eye exam.

| Netflix enters the TV game with first original series Posted: 18 Mar 2011 11:38 AM PDT  Earlier this week we reported that US movie streaming service Netflix was planning to take on the cable TV world by buying the rights to its first original series. Well now it has. The monthly subscription service has outbid cable giant HBO for the new Kevin Spacey drama House of Cards and signed-on to screen 24 episodes before it becomes available anywhere else. It's the first-time Netflix, which has pretty much consigned Blockbuster to the grave, has bought an original TV show to stream exclusively and opens the door to completely change the US cable industry. New dawn Netflix reckons that as well as giving its subscribers access to first-run content for the first time, the move is also financially viable as it won't have to pay to license the content from traditional networks. "it won't be any more expensive than licensing a popular show off of a network," says Netflix content boss Ted Sarandos. "If those shows are not going to be made widely available in decent windows, then my other alternative would be to compete with those guys for those shows." House of Cards is based on the British book of the same name and will be produced by Social Network director David Fincher. It will begin screening at the back end of 2012.

| Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:48 AM PDT  There is a ludicrously thin 9.7-inch shadow over tablet releases at the moment. The iPad 2 has landed, and we judged it the best tablet yet. However, that doesn't stop the march of Apple's competitors. We first saw the ViewSonic ViewPad 10s at CES, and we were intrigued by the Tap UI it used to disguise Android. However, we also remember the pitiful excuse for modern electronics that is the ViewPad 10 (Note the lack of 's'). Fortunately, the ViewPad 10s has much more in common with the Motorola Xoom than it does its own predecessor, packing in Nvidia's Tegra 2 system on a chip for power. It actually beats Moto's great tablet in one area: Flash is included for internet browsing. That means twin 1GHz ARM processor cores and powerful graphics capabilities, backed by 512MB of RAM, which should keep Android 2.2 running smoothly on the 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 display.
As we said, Android 2.2 is overlaid with the Tap UI, which is supposed to make Google's OS a little more tablet friendly. We last saw this on the Hannspree Hannspad, which is the closest device of all to the ViewPad 10s. The Hannspad features nearly identical specs to the ViewPad 10s, right down to the multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, so we were interested to compare the two.
The ViewPad 10s also features HDMI output at up to 1080p, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and a microSD card slot. This last feature is vital, since there's only a few megabtes of built-in memory. A 16GB microSD card is included, but it instantly puts it behind the Hannspad, which had 16GB built in, which could then be expanded further with a memory card. There are twin speakers on the back, for blasting out all those Flash videos, or your other movies and music. On the front is a camera, rated at 1.3 megapixels. There's no rear-facing camera, which could disappoint some.
There's also a full-size USB port, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. No HDMI or USB cables are included in the box, and headphones are absent, too. The ViewPad 10s is on sale for just under £300. FeaturesGood news! We get to talk about what a tablet looks like without constantly comparing it to the iPad. The ViewSonic ViewPad 10s is a modern tablet that doesn't look like Apple's creation. Well, it's still got the black bezel, we admit, but the overall shape brought to mind the Samsung Galaxy Tab instead when we first picked it up.
The first thing you'll notice is that the bezel appears extremely thick. Certainly, it's pretty hefty in its own right, but what really makes you notice the size is the lack of any buttons or branding on the front. With no visual distractions, the pure blackness of it really stands out. The only blemish is the small front-mounted camera hole.
The back of the device is glossy black plastic, to match the front visually. It feels nice and premium in the hand, but is a bit slippery. Cunningly, to mitigate this, there's a small, nearly imperceptible ridge on one side.
If you're looking at the ViewPad in landscape, with the camera at the top, this is on the left side, making it slightly easier to hold and then operate with your right hand. It's a small addition, but the details count when it comes to something that spends all of its time in-hand. The actual build quality isn't quite as tidy as the materials used. The back bends in without much pressure applied, but it feels like a light drop wouldn't do it too much harm. There's a little panel on one edge of the tablet's rear that looks and feels as though it should open up to a port, but actually doesn't open at all. It's just there. Speaking of ports, we're blessed with several of them on the ViewPad 10s. On one of the short edges (on the right if you hold it with the ridge in your left hand) sits the 3.5mm headphone jack, the charging port and a really fiddly cover. Under the really fiddly cover is a microSD card slot, a full-size USB port and a full-size HDMI port.
That's right – no expensive new cable connectors needed to get your ViewPad hooked up to your TV, just any old HDMI cable. Viewsonic spoils us.
Also on this side is a volume control, while just around the corner on the device's top edge is a multi-purpose on/off/Home key and physical rotation lock switch (always a nice touch) and a physical Back button (which we'll explain the need for later).
The last physical feature worth mentioning is the proprietary dock connector on the bottom. Well, we say worth mentioning… nothing in the box uses it, so unless the accessories industry really takes off for Viewsonic, we're not sure it'll ever get any use. Each of the edges of the devices are quite pointy where the plastic rim meets the screen, but you don't tend to notice this when holding the tablet normally, only when picking it up. When we first looked at the ViewPad 10s at CES, it was running an interesting Android overlay called Tap UI. We saw Tap UI in action on a finished product first on the Hannspree Hannspad, and we were impressed with the way the software hid just enough of Android 2.2 to really make the most of a tablet's screen space. The ViewPad 10s doesn't do that. Even though our original time with the tablet featured the heavily customised UI, this final version has scaled back on it drastically. It's far closer to stock Android, but with the Tap UI's bar at the top, which features software buttons for Home, Menu and Back.
These three options are missing from the front of the device, but Back and Home are catered for with the buttons around the edge of the ViewPad. Why? Well, the Tap UI is scaled back so far that it's back to stock Android apps, some of which go fullscreen without the bar at the top sticking around (they're designed to be used on phones with real buttons, after all). To get out of these apps, you'll obviously need to hit one of the physical buttons. The Tap UI bar with the Home, Back and Menu buttons in is a solution similar to Android 3.0, but beat it to market. Generally, it works fine, though it can have some performance pauses (as detailed on the next page), and the notifications bar functionality can get in the way of presses. The slightly useless notifications on offer in the full Tap UI are replaced by the normal Android pull-down bar, which is a distinct improvement, even if you do trigger it accidentally every so often. Whereas the full Tap UI had a specially designed screen for widgets (which wasn't very good) things are rather more free here. Five fairly normal Android Home screens are available, with various widgets on offer, and more can be downloaded. Just to be clear, you don't download those new widgets from the Android Market. This isn't a Google-certified device, so no Gmail, no Google Calendar and no Market. There is an app store, though. The App Center is a fair stab at recreating the eclectic Android Market without Google's support, but just can't match it for scale. It also can't match it in some other, more important areas, such as official Twitter or Facebook apps. Actually, any Facebook app at all. Oh dear.
Viewsonic has foreseen this disadvantage, and actually provides a page on its website with links to APK files for Twitter, Facebook and Angry Birds, among others. It's a nice idea, but who (other than reviewers doing research) is going hunting in the 'Resources' section of the Viewsonic website? Either preload them properly or make it more obvious, Viewsonic. That said, it didn't do us a lot of good anyway – Angry Birds and Twitter both failed to install correctly, and so promptly deleted themselves. Facebook survived, though. Another good thing that's come from scaling back the Tap UI is that the normal Android browser is in use, with all the blistering speed that entails. A custom version of Adobe Flash 2.1 is installed, much to the Motorola Xoom's chagrin, no doubt. As far as media goes, the ViewPad 10s supports up to 1080p playback of H.264, H.263, DivX and Xvid for video, while music formats including AAC, MP3 and Vorbis are catered for. PerformanceWhen we reviewed the Hannspree Hannspad, we noted that the usefulness of its Tap UI overlay was crippled by a combination of a poor touchscreen and occasionally sluggish operation. The two seemed to very much be linked, so we were hoping that a better touchscreen and tweaked OS could result in a more compelling experience. We sort of got what we asked for, but not in the way we wanted. The touchscreen is an order of magnitude better here than the Hannspad's, that much is clear. In fact, it's just about on a par with all the tablet big boys. Typing was nearly impossible on Hannspree's offering, but is perfectly fine on the ViewPad (though the keyboard layout takes a bit of getting used to).
So what about those tweaks to the Tap UI? As we said on the previous page, 90 per cent of it has simply been cut out, leaving the bar at the top and the App Center as the last remnants of what we liked so much about the Hannspad's interface. Again, though, that's not an entirely bad thing. More flexible widgets, more Home screens and the notifications bar are all welcome. The browser in particular is stunningly fast.
Flash video was very strong, just as it was on the Hannspad. While we saw it struggle on many single-core 1GHz phones when first introduced, Flash video has been fine on the LG Optimus 2x, Hannspree Hannspad and now the ViewPad 10s. It's pretty safe to say that dual-core power was necessary to get it working smoothly. However, the problem remains that there's a lack of touch-friendly controls for Flash players, so it can be fiddly to get things playing perfectly on-screen. There are plenty of bad points from the changes to the Tap UI, though. The music player doesn't have the clever windows that spread across the screen, while the default Gallery app gets rid of the Tap UI bar, so you'll have to resort to the hidden physical back button. A clear, unified OS vision this ain't. When the Tap UI overlay completely hid Android on the Hannspad, we could forgive the lack of Google apps, since it didn't feel like an Android device. But here it does, so we're lumbered without the real Android Market, no Google Maps and a Calendar that only accepts Exchange accounts. It doesn't present itself well. Strangest of all is the on/off key. It seems like it should be a lock key, but it's actually designed to be a Home key, as we mentioned. If you want to lock the screen, you need to hold the key for two seconds, bring up the menu and choose 'Suspend'. But don't hold it for four seconds! That turns the thing straight off. We don't know about you, but we reckon just a simple lock key would have been in order here. However, the UI inconsistencies are only a minor part of the story. They're annoying, but they're not the biggest OS problem. It pauses. A lot. When it's going, it's fast enough, but it frequently just doesn't do anything for a while. What's particularly annoying about this is that it queues up commands during that time. If you tap the Back icon at the top-right of the screen, it may not do anything for a few seconds. There's no visual feedback on those Tap UI buttons, so you'll inevitably assume you missed it the first time, and tap again. And again. And then they'll all catch up, firing you back several screens. The first time this happens, it's a bit annoying. Eventually, it becomes infuriating. The Home screens do the same thing, with you swiping several times before anything happens, at which point you skip several screens to the right or left. The music player is perhaps most obviously a phone interface holdover – the sheer volume of wasted space is just ridiculous. It's functional enough, though, and the built-in speakers belt out music better than they do voice.
There's one major problem the ViewPad 10s has that so many cheap tablets do. The viewing angles on the screen simply aren't good enough. It's better than the appalling display on the Hannspree Hannspad, but not by a huge marging, and remains an area that can really spoil the tablet experience. It negates the point of tablet's as a place-anywhere, social computer. Want to show a group of people something? You'll all be crowding for that sweet spot. Video playback was excellent, just as it was on the Hannspad. 1080p video played back smoothly, in supported formats, and it looks great when viewed straight on – just not from anywhere else.
The HDMI mirroring also works well. It has little effect on performance, and our range of standard definition, 720p and 1080p videos all worked fine. There was a problem where they refused to play once, but a restart solved it. The speakers are easily drowned out or muffled when your lap, but are OK most of the time. Battery life generally isn't that great. In one 24-hour period of typical, quite light use, the battery fell to less than 50 per cent. Like the Hannspad, it simply uses too much battery in standby mode. It's also a bit finicky when charging. It refused to do at all on one wall plug, and once we got it working, it wouldn't believe it was no longer charging. The built-in camera isn't bad, with even soft orange lamp light in the evening producing a good enough image for video calling on the included Fring app. The USB port is a funny old thing. Plugging a USB stick into enabled us to browse the files using the pre-loaded iFileManager app, which is superb. It played videos over the connection fine, though it threw a hissy fit at music in formats it's fine with when they're on the microSD card.
However, it steadfastly refused to connect to our PC. Which makes getting your media onto the device something of a massive pain. Frankly, if we had to choose between being able to connect the tablet to our PC or USB storage to the tablet, we'd choose the former. Verdict
Once again, a promising Android tablet crashes on the jagged rocks of poorly optimised UI and performance problems. After the advent of the Motorola Xoom, we're left convinced that anything before Android 3.0 won't cut it on tablets without heavy customisation, so being served an Android 2.2 tablet with minimal tweaking, we're left unimpressed. While we happily admit that the price is pretty compelling, there's currently a window to pick up the original iPad for less than £50 more, which undermines the value argument somewhat (even if it isn't permanent). We liked The touchscreen is nice and responsive, which is always a good first step for tablets. The price is pretty strong for the specs – an improvement on the very similar Hannspree Hannspad, though not quite matching the Advent Vega. We're also pleased to see Flash included. The video playback is great (save for the screen's problems), and the HDMI mirroring was good, too. USB hosting is always a nice feature to see, as well. It's got good build quality and design for a budget device, too. We disliked 16GB of included storage is fine, but we'd prefer it was built in, rather than on a microSD card, since it means you're limited to a maximum of 32GB (with a 16GB card left knocking about). The Tap UI has been scaled back so far as to be nearly pointless, which reveals the folly of tablets based on the phone version of Android (and that goes double for those without Android Market or other Google apps). While it's generally fast, the frequent pauses are hugely annoying. They happen so often that it really does get in the way of the experience. The fact it won't connect to a PC over USB is also a major irritation. The screen's poor viewing angles are also really disappointing, and the battery life just isn't up to scratch either. Verdict The ViewSonic ViewPad 10s doesn't come across as a tablet catastrophe, but decent internal specs simply can't match up to an experience with cut corners and a lack of optimised software. It doesn't stand up as a budget machine against the likes of the Advent Vega just below it in price or original iPad just above it (while it lasts), and in terms of overall experience it's just not even fit to gaze upon the iPad 2 or Motorola Xoom.

| Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:09 AM PDT -200-200.jpg) ZTE might not have much of a brand in the UK, but it sold over 90 million devices in 2010, making it one of the top five mobile manufacturers in the world. The ZTE LightPad range sees its first foray into the tablet market: with a 7-inch touchscreen running Android 2.2 it's not exactly at the top end of the scale, but ZTE has never been about being the technological best but about value for money. Value still indicates a need for quality though – we spent some time with the ZTE Light to find out if it's worth your money, however little it may be. The first thing to note is that we played with a device that was not the final hardware, so changes may be made before it hits retail. The other thing to take into account is that there are several versions of the tablet; this is the ZTE Light with a capacitive screen. There's also a resistive screen version (why? We've no idea) and an upcoming ZTE Light 2 which will feature a more powerful processor. The tablet isn't a bad looking device – the screen is large and bright but we can't fathom why the bezel is so asymmetrical.
There aren't many buttons present, mainly what you'd expect: lockscreen and volume keys on the edge of the tablet. It's a bit of a funny place for the lockscreen button to sit as we automatically went to the top of the device every time, but if you're using it predominantly in landscape it may not be such an issue.
The ZTE Light features two cameras – a front-mounted one for video calling and a rear-mounted one for taking snaps.
There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is always a welcome addition.
Charging and syncing is done using the microUSB port which sits alongside the external speaker.
The 7-inch screen means this is a little on the unwieldy side, but you can just about hold it in one hand and operate it to a certain extent - realistically, you need to get both hands involved. It's a fairly light tablet to hold and the build quality isn't bad although we're not sure that all of the buttons are as sturdy as they could be – again, this could be due to being an unfinished build.
On to the interface – the ZTE Light capacitive runs Android 2.2 and the company hasn't said whether there are plans to update it to any newer versions or the tablet-specific Android 3.0 as yet. The locked screen features a handy at-a-glance (or it would be if it showed up) view of your unread messages and emails.
The capacitive touchscreen is fairly good; swiping through screens was no problem at all, but we did find the screen a little slow to respond to jabs. This may have been down to slow loading times rather than screen responsiveness, however. It was only a difference of maybe a second, but in that second we found ourselves impatiently tapping the app icons again and ending up closing the app or launching something we didn't mean to. Given the issues we had with the screen in menu mode, text input was surprisingly painless. In portrait mode we could just about stretch our thumbs across the pad to type one-handed, but with two it was much more comfortable.
The landscape keyboard is much more spacious.
The ZTE Light comes with call-making capabilities, if you fancy looking like a complete moron talking into a 7-inch device. The dial pad is comically huge in portrait:
And utterly ridiculous in landscape set up.
We weren't too impressed with the ZTE Light's rear-mounted camera; although still shots were okay quality, it was slow to focus and slow to take the shot, meaning you have to keep still for quite some time. The video recording was abominable: full of noise, jerky, pixellated – it felt as if we'd gone back in time to 2005. The software doesn't vary much from the regular Android 2.2 set up, so contacts, messaging inboxes and media players are all much as you'd expect. Unfortunately we had no data connection so we couldn't try out web browsing or any video content that wasn't recorded by the terrible rear-facing camera. But despite a couple of niggles, we didn't have a bad experience with the ZTE Light. It won't be the tablet for everyone, but if you're happy with an aged version of Android or strapped for cash but desperate for a tablet it could be just what you're looking for. That said, ZTE is keeping schtum on pricing for now – but we can bet it won't be up in the realms of the iPad 2. The ZTE Light capacitive model should be hitting the UK in the second half of the year, possibly under another name licensed to a network – at which point we'll bring you a full review.

| Sky looking to incorporate targeted adverts in Sky+ Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PDT  Sky+ is actively looking to add targeted advertising into its broadcasts, which will link adverts to various user data, such as postcode, age and viewing package. This is according to Sky chief operating officer Mike Darcey, who said about the advert idea: "If you're Ford, rather than having to take a bet that the Mondeo ad is your best option across a single nationwide Sky 1 audience, you can segment audiences so that they see the most relevant Ford ad available. "So a young woman sees an ad for a hatchback and the family of five next door sees an ad for an MPV." Thanks for the ad While it is unknown how aggressive Sky will go with its targeted advertising, what is known is that the technology has been available to broadcasters for some time. TechRadar met up with NDS, who creates a lot of back-end technology for EPGs, back in January 2010, where we were demoed some advert technology. Sky is currently using AdSmart for its Sky Player app and it is thought that this service will be what incorporates the targeted advertising into your Sky viewing experience. Darcy noted that Sky will ask users for permission to use this technology, which will come in the form of an updated contract condition, but no timeline was given for when the adverts would likely appear.

| Flash 10.2 beta coming to Android today Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:49 AM PDT  Android devices running Android 3.0, 2.3 or 2.2 will be able to download Flash 10.2 in beta form from the Android Market later today. Quel excitement, as it brings with it the ability to load Flash content on Android 3.0, faster performance to those with Flash 10.1 and better battery life to a host of handsets. The new version was built with the tablet-specific Honeycomb OS in mind, but older devices can benefit too as long as they meet the system requirements. Duel of the cores Although you'll notice the greatest leap in performance on dual-core devices, single corers can get in on the action too with a slight improvement to YouTube video playback, for example. Engadget, which enjoyed a spot of early hands-on time with the update, discovered that it can't yet handle 720p content, displaying a series of still images instead of a nice smooth HD video. Apparently this is because the beta version isn't running at full speed ahead; hardware rendering and compositing will be added in a later release within a matter of weeks, at which point 720p should start running properly. Of course, here in the UK we're still awaiting any Android 3.0-toting tablets, the first of which looks set to be the Motorola Xoom. At least here it will actually launch with the Flash beta already available – a minor consolation.

| Nokia Windows phone: work is 'under way' Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:46 AM PDT  Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop has revealed that Nokia has begun work on a Windows Phone, while dampening rumours that Microsoft is to buy Nokia out. Elop is no stranger to Microsoft, given that he was poached from the computing giant, and this has fuelled speculation that Nokia is to become part of Steve Ballmer's empire. But Elop explained that this isn't the case, and the two companies were strictly just partners. "I'm not aware of a strategic interest that Microsoft would have in the rest of the business," Elop said to Reuters. "To the extent that a partnership has been formed around what they're really interested in, then what would an acquisition bring other than a good year of anti-trust investigation, huge turmoil, delays?" Work begins Elop did reveal that Nokia is hard at work on the first Nokia Windows Phone, however, even though a deal between both companies is still months away from being finalised. "We're right now, today, having people work on the first Windows Phone devices from Nokia," said Elop. "That work is already under way. If this was an acquisition scenario, that wouldn't be possible," Elop is hoping that a Nokia Windows phone will be on sale by the end of 2011.
