Mr. endowed is the perfect nickname that can be given to LG Spectrum. Unlike ordinary phones, this phone has been loaded with very many new features.

It is so classic and fabulous that the entire endowments blend together to give it a very good and enhanced performance. You can get all these enhancements and accessories very useful if you are really IT compliant. This device is a 100% IT package you carry with yourself. Something of everything can be found on it always. There is nothing you want that you cannot get with this smart phone. The enhancements might not be so pronounced but you have to discover most of them in the course of the usage.

It is very true that the set of smart phones in the market today which this phone is part of are endowed with over 2500 applications and is still ready to accept more when written and downloaded. While referring to the accessories for this device, you can find that they are of two types. They include the accessories that might come with the phone upon arrival and the accessories that might be designed by other companies in the phone enhancement business which this phone can accept and use comfortably. Another basis of distinction is the hardware and software accessories. It should be noted here that the set of accessories that can be gotten not from the manufactures of the device in question mostly comes in form of hardware accessories, though you might get some hardware involved.

All the hardware elements needed for the functioning of the phone and the phone body accompany the phone when bought. It must come with a set of chargers to keep the phone powered. These chargers might come in form of wall, USB or car forms or even in both forms. The next is the set of batteries that keeps the phone on when not plugged on an AC power. These are the hand ones you will get with the phone.

Other accessories in hardware category are the ones which are placed inside the phone body. You will even have the earpiece and USB wires to make your sound and connectivity a unique one. You should not purchase if your phone does not have all these. If you wish, you can also purchase other hardware accessories to enhance your phone’s functioning, though these may not accompany the phone by default. Speaker system with the new built is one of such hardware accessories.

This phone set of phones must come with the following set of hardware as its specification indicates. The network of the phone must be configured with 2, 3 and 4G which can function with CDMA 800/1900. The  mobile package must contain the touch sensitive control with multi touch feature, HD graphics engine, loudspeaker, Dolby mobile sound enhancement, internal storage of 4GB, micro SD, Wi-Fi, GPRS, Bluetooth system, Video and Audio recording system, Android enhancement and accessories, chipset QUALCOMM snapdragon, Dual core scorpion, Adreno 220, SMS and MMS facility, browser, GPS and other important phone accessories. These LG spectrum accessories are so delicate that you have to protect them with a LG spectrum case. You will also find the durable plastic LG spectrum screen protector very valuable.

So here we are — the last day of 2011 and the end of the first year of me writing my occasional newsletter, Om Says. Being on a break, I decided to not read the web and instead go analog and read a lot of books to nourish my mind. For me, it was an enjoyable year of writing these newsletters and I have picked out 12 stories from the archives that I feel are something you might want to revisit during the New Year’s weekend. Happy 2012, everyone.

The top story of 2011 that impacted me personally:

• Steve Jobs and the sound of silence

Steve Jobs left a big hole not only for his company, but also for the tech industry. In a time when so many companies focus on short-term decisions, Jobs taught us that real success is in taking the long view. (Also, The Tao of Steve.)

My thoughts on media:

• Old Media Is Being Unbundled, Just Like Telecom Was

The unbundling of telecom resulted in the free-ing of the last mile, which in tandem with rise of the Internet resulted in the destruction of the voice-minute economy. The media landscape is going through similar unbundling, thanks to the Internet, which takes away controls over distribution networks.

• The Distribution Democracy and the Future of Media

Unless media corporations stop defining themselves by their products, they are going to be unable to navigate the big shift that is changing the rules of the game — what I call the “democratization of distribution.”

• Why the Medium Is Not the Message

One of the biggest mistakes we as a society in general, and this industry in specific, make is that we mistake the medium for the message. Those who can keep their eye on the message — Amazon and Netflix for example – profit handsomely. On the flip-side you…[MISSING REST OF SENTENCE]

Some trends I see emerging:

• Why the Future of Hardware Is Services

There is a re-definition of the consumer electronics landscape and we are seeing a future for hardware that combines hardware, software and connectivity with specific services. Without services, the devices may lose our attention and end up at the back of the proverbial drawer.

• How iPads, phones & sensors will redefine our homes

An Internet-connected, sensor-based and iPad-managed terrarium — a microecosystem — by London-based product designer Samuel Wilkinson is an artful marriage of physical living and digital worlds and it could be a precursor for what homes and gardens could become in the age of connectedness.

Observations on the “apps” and app revolution:

• iPad May Be Magical. Apps Aren’t. Here’s Why.

Steve Jobs called the iPad magical. Fast forward to today, and I (and about 15 million others) agree. However, if iPad, the device, is more magical, the applications (apps) for the device are anything but. Where are the apps befitting the device and its hardware capabilities?

• Money Can’t Buy You Love: Why Some Apps Work, Some Don’t

The crowded consumer Internet has made it difficult for startups and services to get attention from the people who really matter: the end users. The question is: How do you get that much-needed attention? Not with VC dollars. Instead it is something less tangible.

• Why Apps Need Some Sense and Sensibility

The biggest frustration I have with my iPhone is when the phone switches between Wi-Fi and 3G networks and just hangs. In solving this problem, MIT researchers used motion sensors, showing how mobile devices need to become an extension of us.

• What Makes Apps Delightful?

With over 650,000 apps seeking our attention, it is not an easy task for apps to get it. In order to be successful and stand out, mobile apps have to have little friction, and in the process overcome smartphones’ and the mobile web’s three limitations.

And some random musings:

• The Economics of Attention: Why There Are No Second Chances on the Internet

The economics of attention are much more ruthless and unforgiving than the real economic underpinning of a product. Just as it is hard for a movie to recover from a bad opening weekend, today’s apps lose if they don’t make a good first impression.

• Is the Internet the “Paris” of the new millennium?

I started my recent European tour with a visit to Loic Le Meur’s annual celebration of the Internet, Le Web. If attendees were an indication, startup culture is everywhere. Perhaps it’s the setting, but this celebration of technology and startups reminds me of another creative age.

Native Instruments’ Maschine hardware/software bundle has become a staple in the beat-production market since its debut two years ago. Now at version 1.7, its performative and production capacities have grown to the point where dance pioneers like Underworld rely on it as a standard instrument much the way an electric guitar might be used by a rock band. Maschine Mikro is the first major hardware shift for the production platform: the newly-downsized controller easily fits into a backpack and comes in at 0 less than its bigger brother. What compromises come with the smaller footprint, and what will the price tag mean for people just getting starting in the groove production game? Read on, Lil’ Dre, for our macro view of the Mikro.

Samsung invited the world to adventure with its own smartphone OS, Bada, almost two years ago and so far most of us have turned down the offer. Of course, that trip could look more appealing if a Wall Street Journal rumor is true and the company is planning to open source it for use by developers and other manufacturers alike next year. Citing the usual “person familiar with the situation”, Samsung apparently isn’t interested in snagging any outside companies like, say, webOS, but wants to strengthen its independence from Android after Google announced it will purchase Motorola. Right now, it feels like we’ve already seen this story play out for the still-kicking Symbian. On the other hand, maybe Samsung, with its massive manufacturing capabilities and current hit-making prowess, can strike the right balance of hardware, software and apps to make it worthwhile. If it tries and fails, well, maybe the folks in Redmond will be looking for another close friend.

There’s been rumors of a Google-fied mobile payment system for some time, and now it looks like the Mountain View crew is teaming up with Sprint to finally make it happen. Last month, we heard that the Now Network would bring NFC payments to its customers this year, and Bloomberg reports that the partnership and payment system will make its debut on May 26th. Apparently, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington D.C. are the first cities getting the service, which is a much broader initial footprint than its Isis mobile payment competition. The anonymous sources also say that Verifone and Vivotech are providing the hardware and software that will let you replace your credit card with a Nexus S — because you’ve always wanted to replace your credit card with your Nexus S.

As an IT pro, the right network configuration management tools help you simplify your ongoing IT responsibilities. The last thing you would want to have fail is the network of your company. Using the right tools for the job will indeed help you to keep on top of the needs of your network as they arise.

After reviewing the following 3 points it will be easy to understand why your company needs to consider implementing the right network management tools if it has not already done so:

• Appropriate network routing
• Take inventory of your network
• Network system management security

*** Network routing success ***

Good and bad ways of designing the infrastructure of your company exist. To illustrate most companies probably would shy away from the idea of having office staff connected with the shop printers. Certainly, you don’t want all of your associates to have access to the company’s financial data. And who would want to drive across town to the satellite office when they get a copy of their most recent invoice?
Interconnecting network devices is made possible with network management tools – printers, computers, hard drives, and would you believe even phone systems – allowing them all to communicate with each other efficiently.

*** Security of Your Network ***

Understand the needs of your network traffic by connecting with the best network system management applications. The result is you gain the ability to know where users on the network are going, IP addresses they are navigating from and when attempts to access unauthorized files or information on the network are being made. No matter if people are external or internal to the companies infrastructure you gain the ability to stop information theft dead in its tracks.

*** Take inventory of your network ***

A quick scan of your network will enable you to view inventory of all hardware, software, applications, and equipment connected to your network. You are the one in the know when it comes to unauthorized users robbing the company of bandwidth or even classified company files with this technology. Regular scans will help eliminate internal equipment theft and also detect malfunctions before they take down your entire system.
