The mysterious case of the Acer Ferrari
Is odd at least spend part of a Sunday afternoon going over some items and meet the most amazing cases in the field of consumer electronics. A good example was the announcement with great fanfare by Taiwan's Acer in the past MWC 2010 in Barcelona, which was to be the new Acer Ferrari. Has anybody been there?
From the original concept to finished product the new smartphone was designed to the smallest detail with the idea of offering a greater sense of belonging to all Ferrari enthusiasts.
For contrary, some sources claimed that the terminal course they would not be anything but an Acer Liquid and rebatuizado for the occasion. The handset was announced back in February, including press release, the new Android 2.1 Éclair to be presented to the hordes tifosi a month later, celebrating and renewing the partnership between Acer and Scuderia Ferrari.
Even some of the supposed leaked images supported the veracity of the information pointing to an advanced state of production of the smartphone, but little or no resemblance to what could be a Liquid and Acer , which is supposed to also share benefits and features.
The course design is sleek and sophisticated chassis asemajaba more old PDA with integrated GPS Acer C500, which also inherited the botonería.
Sea In any case, it seems that Acer has come to dispose the idea has been saved or an ace up its sleeve to await the results of the current Formula 1 team. Another reason to take into consideration, are demanding royalties requested by the House of Maranello for electronic products that are the emblem of the Cavallino.
Meanwhile, time runs against the Taiwanese company and an important opportunity to view the excitement up sales with new signing of the Spanish pilot, as happened back in 2004 with the terminal market and Promoted by Michael Schumacher, the Ferrari Sharp GX25 Ferrari Limited Edition, 902.

SIM to MicroSim with a butcher knife and scissors
No, we are not proposing a typical game of identifying the differences between the two photographs that show you, because you know too well what it is. A SIM card converted to a MicroSim in a somewhat rustic, but not so effective, in view of what will happen in the future with the possible introduction of this new generation of chips.
Although the motives are different The appearance of the IPAD vaunted Apple 3G in the U.S. and so far we play, we must not leave a few comments. If Apple has achieved in a short period of time, about four years, be turned upside down the landscape of the smartphone, what will happen now with the introduction by AT & T of the "dreaded" MicroSim view to be used in the IPAD?
Terminal manufacturers shall update their devices with a view to accommodate these new cards? And if so, what happens when we acquire a terminal with our obsolete MicroSim SIM card? Do operators will wear well and we will change the cards for free, or simply take advantage of the situation to include a duplicate charge and are currently implementing
(# )
If this latter case were to arise, we will always throw scissors and butcher knife. Not idle, the British citizen John Benson, who appreciate the tutorial presented at his personal website, indicates the steps to follow to achieve our goal. Obviously requires some expertise and some experience in manual labor that requires precision.
This is both horizontally and vertically align the contacts of the chips in both cards in order to make different shapes with the dimensions MicroSim on the tiny SIM card with the help of sharp knife. From there, and the relevant findings of alignment, we must arm ourselves with patience and, as a difficult Cut, take the scissors to achieve the shape and size.
John Benson shown later in the smooth operation of your device, which receives shift operator coverage correctly. Another example of human ingenuity or how to be idle too well to pass the time with some "crafts." Although something is undeniable: it works.
