Hello and Welcome,
This month's Main Meeting starts at 5:45pm and
Alex Zaharov-Reutt's message to members is below along with details of
Friday's the Digital Photography SIG.
Tuesday 23 July - MAIN
Meeting - 5:30pm for 5:45pm - 8:30pm
We're well into the second half of 2013, with
plenty of this year's new technology surprises still to come and be
enjoyed by the masses, from new operating systems to new hardware, new
apps, new 'appcessories' and new ideas.
This month, we'll be looking at Huawei
Technology's smartphones and tablets, with our special guest presenter
Luke Coleman, Huawei's Public Affairs and Communications Manager.
He'll be joined by Huawei Devices marketing
Manager Poh-Lee Koh, with the latest on Huawei's mobile network
developments around the world and in Australia, alongside Huawei's
latest smartphone and tablet technologies.
Huawei's new Ascend P-Series of smartphones has
started a new ascent up the Australian market share mountain with the
flagship, "world-thinnest" P6 smartphone at an ultra svelte 6.18mm,
now on sale unlocked and with high-speed 3G connectivity from JB Hi Fi
and Dick Smith Electronics at cleverly competitive pricing.
It has just been favourably joined by a slightly
bigger brother - the new Ascend P2 at 8.4mm slim exclusively from
Telstra, offering 4G LTE connectivity and a whopping 13 megapixel
camera, with both smartphones powered by speedy 1.5Ghz quad-core
processors and even sporting enhanced screen technology that works
with gloves on!
The Huawei team will also have the gigantic Ascend
Mate – the 6.1-inch smartphone with a huge 2-day battery life.
We'll get to learn about Huawei today and see the
features, benefits and enhancements that the P6, P2 and Ascend Mate
deliver to today's savvy smartphone customers alongside Google's
Android OS.
We'll also get to see where Huawei is going with
Android tablets and what plans or visions for the future they are able
to share.
Don't forget, the meeting now starts at 5.45pm
with a discussion and tutorial on improving PC security, before we
move on to news, websites, software, Q&A, the raffle break and then
Huawei's presentation at 7.10pm.
So, see you this Tuesday the 23rd of July for a
great evening of learning, technology and fun!
Cheers,
Alex
Friday 26 July - Digital Photography
- 9:30am for 10:00am - 12:30pm
The topic for this month's meeting is using still digital
cameras to take videos. This facility exists on modern cameras and the
group will discuss how and when videos can be used to record
interesting events.
The group will also review the panoramic images
that members have stitched together with the Microsoft Composite
Editor (ICE) program.
A question and answer session will also be held at
the meeting.
