Is Apple Already Planning the iPad 2? A recent discovery by Mission Repair has sparked rumors that Apple is already planning the second iteration of its iPad tablet. Tons and tons of sites have made a point of listing all the features missing from the iPad. Among them was a forward facing camera. With no camera present at all, many tech fans wondered what Apple was thinking not including either a forward facing camera or a more traditionally located camera on the back of the device. It seems that in leaving the camera out, Apple was just being Apple. That is, the company left it out of the first device because they'll likely include the camera in an updated model in the future. Mission Repair recently received a box of iPad parts and notice that the metal, internal frames had a space that looked suspiciously camera-sized. The lads grabbed a standard webcam from a Unibody MacBook and lo and behold, it fit into the mysterious space in the frame like a hand in a glove.

The Google Chrome browser has been a choice of PC users for some time, and as of recently it's become an option for Linux and Mac users. The related Chromium project, the open source side to Chrome, has opened up a bounty system similar to Mozilla's to interest security researchers to encourage bug squashing. Here are some of the details from the Q&A in Google's blog post: Q) What reward might I get? A) As per Mozilla, our base reward for eligible bugs is $500. If the panel finds a particular bug particularly severe or particularly clever, we envisage rewards of $1337. The panel may also decide a single report actually constitutes multiple bugs. As a consumer of the Chromium open source project, Google will be sponsoring the rewards. Q) What bugs are eligible? A) Any security bug may be considered. We will typically focus on High and Critical impact bugs, but any clever vulnerability at any severity might get a reward. Obviously, your bug won't be eligible if you worked on the code or review in the area in question. Q) What about bugs present in Google Chrome but not the Chromium open source project? A) Bugs in either build may be eligible. In addition, bugs in plugins that are part of the Chromium project and shipped with Google Chrome by default (e.g. Google Gears) may be eligible. Bugs in third-party plugins and extensions are ineligible. Source : Tom's Hardware US

^^^ Dr sahab, you are talking about 8830 ? If yes, it will never happen in 8830, as it is an world phone, that slot it for GSM only. for CDMA you have to do programing in it. you must be talking about only CDMA phones with uim slot phones which can use uim and programing both(but not at a same time). One of the example o http://www.rimweb.in...p-classic-2258/ Or phone which have capabilities of cdma and gsm in on slot (spice d-6666) LINK But BB 8830 will not support uim card in gsm card slot. i am ready to bet on this.

^^^ just to get knowledge !! which chipset, why & were , Even this will help in repair.

^^^ This phone use WM 6.1, what kind of software teardown you are asking ?

^^^ YES, but only specific models of Q9

This post is more than one year old post, still no one replied Motorola dont have Anti Theft system, Also this handset use Linux / Java-based MOTOMAGX OS

^^^ In MH circle it is 3%

^^ What kind of poll, there are more than 100 handsets, We can make cdma(FWP/FWT & mobile)=XXXXX and GSM = XXXXX

^^^ May be Time Pass !

samsung never done this also they tried to give good handset to cdma, they mfg in china but dont compromise on quality , videocon is rebranding product from china, prices are low due to quality low.

^^^ I am using one handset from last 4 months and clocked 329 hours 15min.

The first step to taking your Tour apart is to remove the battery cover and battery. There you will see 4 hex bolts embedded in the plastic frame. Grab your T6 for the best fit. Remove all 4 screws but take note, the screw about midway up the right side of device has a white sticker covering it. After you remove the screws, you are NOT ready to pull this cover off. Don’t pull, pry push or break.. There are six screws holding the device together – the top two are hidden and getting to these can be somewhat difficult. To get to these well hidden monsters, you need to pry away the plastic piece with the BlackBerry logo and earpiece grating. Dr.Wreck uses a staple remover for all of his leveraging needs – he recommends you do the same. This piece is adhered with double sided tape. Pry it away but be careful not to crack the plastic! Now use your T6 to remove the screws you just found underneath – pull away the rear cover and reveal the PCB! It’s important to keep in mind that your PCB won’t look like Dr.Wreck’s. In order to identify all of the integrated circuits we had to remove all of the “cans” (Metal shields) that provide heat and ESD shielding. Removing these shields is a bit of an art, we’ll keep that secret to Dr.Wreck’s dainty hands! You can now pop off the flex cable tabs like Dr.Wreck is in the image above. These connectors are fairly robust however – delicacy should be practiced. You will also need to pop off the antenna which is located at the top right of the PCB. You should now be able to flip the PCB vertically to reveal the underside (where the real brains are!). There are 3 flex cables attached to the PCB. These are used for The LCD, Trackball and keyboard. Pop them off to fully remove the PCB! This is a good point to discuss the design of this device further. RIM has opted for a “floating” PCB design. This both saves money and makes these devices MUCH easier to take apart and service. The drawback is with the trackball As soon as you pry away the chrome, face-plate and device border, the keyboard and track ball fall apart. This is where the design flaw lies that has created a massive warranty issue for the carriers. On the bold, the entire track-ball module clips into the PCB via a small malleable metal frame. This piece was totally discarded on the tour and consequently the ball more or less floats inside of the device. If your trackball stops working, put a thumb on either side of the module and press firmly and evenly across the front of the device. This should reset everything and temporarily let you use the device again. Now – for the reason you’ve all been reading – the Teardown Analysis. What devices make this puppy tick?! Check out the functional block diagram below. At the core we once again have the Qualcomm MSM7600 which provides both the Baseband and Application management functionality. Not surprisingly, this is the very same core that resides in the current BlackBerry Storm. As a matter of fact, when we look further we see many other shared ICs from the same Qualcomm reference design. These include the Qualcomm PM6658 for Power Management, the RTR6500 Dual-Band Transceiver and RTR6285 RF Transmitter. It looks as if RIM went away from CSR for bluetooth with it’s decision to use the Samsung BTTM53C2RA chipset. This ia not entirely the case. Delving into our resources reveal the same CSR core, disguised in a Wafer-Level-Chip Scale Package. Looking even further we see the same USB Phy from SMSC coupled with the now BlackBerry standard MicroUSB port. Unfortunately the 9630 falls a fair amount short of the mark in the memory category. Sporting the ever-common Samsung MCP K5W2G1, we note that it only has a 2Gb OneNAND coupled with the 1Gb SDRAM. This falls short of the Storm however the phone really does perform admirably well Source

^^^ In 8830 sim slot is for GSM not for CDMA, To active CDMA, you have to program in NV.

^^^ Don't get disappointed Till now i have noted following models, will update the list soon, Nokia:- 1255, 2280, 2112, 2505flip, 3125, 6235, 6265, 6275, 6585(tata), 6255, LG RD:- 2030, 2130, 2230,2430,2530,3330,2650, 6130, 6230, 5130,5340, 6230, 3500, 3600, 3530, 3510, 3610, 3100, Chocolate , Samsung:- sch 191, boss n356, R220, sch A563, 309 Motorola:- c131, L7c, BlackBerry:- Perl, 8830, 8330, 9630, Others:- Micromax c2i, intex 5050, Treo 800w, 2 china craps FWP:- 2258, 340, lsi 110 Till now 48 calculated .. will update soon

DroidExplosion Process Taking this device apart is NO EASY TASK! Motorola has worked wonders to make this thing as suprising and delicate as possible. Dr.Wreck loves challenges, thus he commends you oh, motorola engineers! The first thing you'll need to do is remove the back cover and battery. Grab your trusty T6 and remove both the silver and black screws from the rear of the chassis. The silver screw holds the PCB in place. The Black Screws hold the back plate on the screen portion of the device. Finding the next set of screws was a challenge. Dr.Wreck noticed a small wedge under the plastic piece above the google label at the very back of the phone. Here you'll need a pin or very small prying device to get underneath and lift it away. It's important to be careful with these steps as these plastic pieces tend to be slightly brittle. Once you pull this piece away you will reveal another two T6 screws. Remove them. Now to find the other screws… Where could they be?! Aha, there's another one placed underneath the google label and camera lens cover! Very sneaky Motorola.. Very sneaky indeed… Now comes the most frustrating part… The final 3 screws are located underneath that faux gold grating that covers the bottom of the battery door. Use a pin, wedge or staple remover to pry this up. Remove the 3 final and amazingly disguised T6 screws to free the Droid's PCB. Now, use your wedge the pry out the clips on the back part of the frame. Tada!!! Unfortunately, we're far from done. There is still one more silver T6 locking the logic board in place. Remove that. Now we need to pop off those flex cables that connect the device to the screen. You can now flip away the PCB. And remove the remaining flex cable. Now that the PCB is free, all that's really left to do is remove the screen and slider mechanism. This can be done by pulling at the black plastic frame that creates the upper border for the device. And that's it! Interestingly enough, the sliding mechanism is essentially just two rails that are imbedded within the screen portion of the device – this is the simplest sliding mechanism we've ever seen! Source

There are some pretty interesting things that popped up on the Pre's PCB's. This is the first production device we've seen on the OMAP3 (Open Media Applications Processor) platform. OMAP3 is powered by the 600MHZ ARM Cortex A8, PowerVR SGX 530 (GPU), 430MHz C64x, DSP and ISP (Image Signal Processor) and was clearly designed to pack a punch On the connections side we see the usual wifi/bluetooth combo going to Marvell and CSR with the W8686 and 63823 respectively. We also see the BaseBand win going to Qualcomm with the heavily integrated MSM6801A platform. The OMAP3 PMIC comes loaded with a USB tranceiver and Audio codec which even further reduces the overall board density of this device. We're not fully sure – but it looks as if the Pre's cool new multi-touch Touch Screen Controller win went to Cypress Semiconductor with the CP6944BA device. The device packs a 1150mAh battery On the top of the communications board we can spot the BaseBand Processor (Qualcomm MSM6801A), SDRAM, RF power amp and Duplexer by TriQuint. On the bottom of the communications board we can spot the BaseBand PMIC (Maxim MAX8695Q), RF Transmitter (RFT6150) and the RF Tranceiver (RFR6500) both by Qualcomm. On the main logic board, we see the OMAP3 PMIC – the Texas Instruments TWL5030. As mentioned before, this PMIC is packed with a USB Traceiver as well as Audio Codec. We also see the Bluetooth and Wifi Tranceivers with the earlier discussed wins from both Marvell and CSR. This device contains a microUSB port and 8GB of internal memory from Samsung. Elpida offers up some mobile DDR memory and is stacked on top of the venerable OMAP3 processor. We'll have to wait and see how this thing benchmarks. Source

some interesting inside photos of Touch pro

^^^ It is valid

no competition at all, compare the cost of samsung and other,
