Lenovo names T410i, T410si, and T510i ThinkPads in honor of Core i3-330M inside

Hey everybody, new ThinkPads ! Lenovo seems hellbent on crushing its reputation for pricey hardware -- while presumably maintaining the related renown for rugged reliability -- and today it's snuck out a set of new i-appended variants of its flagship T series laptops . The T410i, T410si and T510i come equipped with the budget-friendly Core i3-330M CPU from Intel, which runs at 2.13GHz, alongside otherwise typical specs. Memory goes from 2GB to 8GB of DDR3, two megapixel webcams come as standard, and fingerprint sensors can be tacked on as well. Even more friendly to businesses on a shoestring is the option for Windows XP pre-installations on the T410i and T510i. Prices are not yet available, but the whole trio should be coming out by the end of this month, so not long to wait now. [Thanks, Peter] Lenovo names T410i, T410si, and T510i ThinkPads in honor of Core i3-330M inside originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:54:00 EST.

Out of 5,146 Professional Sporting Events Every Year, AT&T Promises to Get One Right [At&t]

AT&T just wants you to know, their service will be ready to cover Dolphin Stadium for Super Bowl XLIV. Which makes you wonder, why wouldn't AT&T's service be prepped to handle the stress of a packed stadium? A skeptic might see AT&T's distribution of a press release to promise adequate bandwidth during a professional sporting event as implication that, normally, AT&T isn't so reliable at sporting events! But how big of a deal are sports, really? If you combine regular season games of the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB, you'll realize there are 5,146 instances yearly in which, apparently, AT&T sees some reason to doubt their own coverage. And we're not even talking about preseason or playoffs. That's 100 massive groups of people every week, sitting in one spot for several hours, all whom are on contract with a self-implied questionable service. Congrats AT&T! A 0.02% success rate is really something to brag about! AT&T Preps South Florida Wireless Network for Pro Bowl and Super Bowl MIAMI, Jan 19, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Football players and fans aren't the only ones gearing up for the Jan. 31 Pro Bowl and Feb. 7 Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. AT&T is gearing up its South Florida network to help ensure those in town for the games have a winning wireless experience. AT&T announced today it is expanding capacity and coverage in and around Dolphin Stadium and other key areas in anticipation of increased voice and data traffic on its wireless network. Network preparations for the big games include: Three mobile cell sites on wheels, or COW, in the stadium parking lot; A new distributed antenna system, or DAS, inside the stadium; Fourth additional layer of capacity added to AT&T cell site inside the stadium: 2G (GSM/Global System for Mobile Communications) voice and data capacity increased by 100 percent and high-speed 3G (UMTS/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) voice and data capacity increased by 280 percent; Capacity added to cell sites in the vicinity of the stadium; Capacity added to cell sites serving hotels and resorts in Fort Lauderdale and South Beach where Super Bowl activities will be hosted; A COW set up to serve Fort Lauderdale hotels where teams will be staying; Capacity added to cell sites surrounding the facilities where the teams will be practicing; and The addition of backhaul connectivity to cell sites surrounding the stadium to increase voice and data capacity between the sites and the routing switch. "These are two of the biggest games of the year, and fans attending them want to be able to share the experience, as it's happening, with those back home, whether its through a voice call, text message, e-mail or picture and video messaging," said Rich Guidotti, vice president and general manager, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets for South Florida. "Our network team has been working for months to deliver the best possible wireless experience for the games and their related activities." AT&T network personnel will be on site for the games to monitor the network. Traffic on the stadium cell sites will be balanced as needed during the games in order to maximize the ability for customers to make calls and use data services. In addition to the network upgrades for the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl, AT&T substantially increased capacity on its 3G network throughout South Florida in 2009 with the addition of a third layer of capacity, or "third carrier" to several hundred cell sites from Key West to Vero Beach. AT&T also activated 20 new cell sites, added 3G technology to dozens of existing cell sites, upgraded its UMTS/3G switching center, added 7 new Radio Network Controllers to significantly increase capacity and added more than 2,500 backhaul connections in 2009. From 2007 through third quarter 2009, AT&T invested more than $134 million in its wireless network in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties alone. "We'll continue to invest and innovate to strengthen our wireless network performance so that our customers can have the best experience with their AT&T devices," said Marshall Criser, lll, AT&T president, Florida. "Our network investments and upgrades have made it possible for us to continue to deliver the nation's fastest 3G network and national voice call retainability scores that are near best-in-class." AT&T's 3G network is now available in more than 350 U.S. cities, including all major metropolitan areas. AT&T recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds. The deployment of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is the first of multiple initiatives in AT&T's network enhancement strategy designed to provide customers with the best possible mobile broadband experience, both today and well into the future. Faster 3G speeds will become available as AT&T combines the new technology with our second initiative during 2010 and 2011 to dramatically increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic connections, adding capacity from cell sites to the AT&T backbone network.

Yahama YHT-S400 Shoves a Subwoofer Into a Receiver [HomeTheater]

The Yamaha YHT-S400 features a sound bar that's 31" long by 2" high and—for the first time—a subwoofer that's actually integrated into the receiver. It sounds perfect if you live in, say, a cramped city apartment. Like me! The subwoofer integration saves you the trouble of making room for an extra component, although how well it kicks out the bass remains to be seen. Still, as much as we can disagree about how much clutter your entertainment center can stand, it's always great to save space when it's possible. The YHT-S400 also features UniVolume, which is Yamaha's way of keeping audio levels consistent from channel to channel and from program to commercial. The system has three HDMI inputs, is compatible with Yamaha's iPod and Bluetooth receiver, and is on sale now for $599.95. YAMAHA'S INNOVATIVE TWO-PIECE HOME THEATER PACKAGE COMBINES HD AUDIO AND SUBWOOFER-INTEGRATED RECEIVER YHT-S400 Offers Several Installation Options with Ultra-Slim ‘Sound Bar,' Exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME, UniVolume and Extended Stereo for Immersive Audio BUENA PARK, Calif.––Yamaha Electronics Corporation, the innovator in home theater and digital audio and video reproduction, today introduces its innovative YHT-S400 two-piece home theater audio package. The system, which consists of an ultra-slim "sound bar" front speaker and a first-of-its-kind subwoofer-integrated receiver, provides HD Audio compatibility, three 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs (and one output), the company's exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME, UniVolume and Extended Stereo technologies for immersive audio for movies, sports and music experiences. The YHT-S400's sound bar stands at 2-inches high and fits in front of most 32 to 50-inch TVs without blocking the screen. In addition, the feet of the sound bar can be adjusted horizontally or vertically, or taken off entirely, for additional installation flexibility. By integrating the system's subwoofer into the receiver, Yamaha is able to offer users an easy connection to a full-featured receiver without adding a separate component and the ability to place the unit in a rack or on the floor in tight spaces. For optimal sound quality, the YHT-S400 accepts HD Audio signals (linear PCM transmission) from Blu-ray disc players. Three 1080-compatible HDMI inputs enable three different HDMI sources to be connected to the receiver. Yamaha's UniVolume feature maintains a consistent volume level between different channel, programs, commercials and input sources. For instance, when watching TV, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD or Blu-ray movie or to listen to music on CD. This is particularly helpful for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can disturb others in the house or apartment building. Yamaha's proprietary AIR SURROUND XTREME technology better delivers sound around the listener than other "virtual surround" systems. Dialogue is clearly heard from the center while ambient audio from on-screen action is clearly heard from the right, left and behind the viewer with smooth sound movement from position to position. AIR SURROUND XTREME can also deliver surround sound from 7-channel sources. Yamaha's exclusive Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) maintains the dynamic virtual surround sound regardless of the viewers' positioning or direction they are facing. Yamaha's proprietary Extended Stereo technology moves the stereo image further to the sides. With it, audio from the 31 ½-inch sound bar sounds as if it is emanating from speakers that are five feet or more apart, resulting in a wider optimum sound field. The YHT-S400 also has HDMI CEC functionality that allows the unit to automatically power on with CEC-compatible TVs. In this scenario, the TV remote can also control the YHT-S400's volume. CEC-compatibility also provides advanced functions with other components. The YHT-S400 also supports Yamaha's YDS-11 universal iPod dock and YBA-10 Bluetooth wireless audio receiver to stream A2DP audio from Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, PCs and Macs. The YHT-S400 is currently available for MSRP $599.95.

Xbox 360 Bundle With Star Trek and Transformers 2 Movies [Xbox 360]

The Xbox 360 may or may not be getting that Blu-ray drive, but a new marketing strategy bundles the console with Star Trek or Transformers 2 . Confirmed exclusively for the UK at the moment, the packages include an Xbox Elite, an extra controller and the related movie on USB (not DVD). You may also score some extra Microsoft points. The offer is strange, not just because of the Hollywood branding or the lack of optical media. The offer is strange because Microsoft isn't promoting the free download of either movie through Xbox Live. USB sticks? Really? [ MCV and VideoGamer via Kotaku ]
