Android Watches - Now You Can Make a Lasting Impression With Your Timepiece

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Today, most people track time by glancing at the clocks in the bottom right corner of their desktops and laptops. Out and about? Cell phones and iPods not only give the time, but provide alarms to keep us on time. Even flat screen TVs have become timekeepers as cable providers prompt the time whenever the remote is in use. "So are watches obsolete?" one may ask. The answer: absolutely not.
Each year billions of dollars are spent on new and vintage watches. The reason - watches lend unmistakable style. Whether you go casual or dressy, today's watches make statements about one's status and taste - "I'm refined," "I'm fashionable," "I'm cool." If you want to make and be the ultimate statement, there is no better watch to wear than an Android watch.
The self-winding Android watches are created from the best materials. Their myriad of color, style, and function choices satisfy even the most discerning buyer. Their dials come in flashy vibrant colors to allow coordinated styling. Most important, though, they offer high end watches, some encrusted with diamonds, most Android watches range in price from $70.00 to $300.00. With their two collections - the Premier line and the Prime line - distinctively designed, modern and futuristic, Android watches stand out. They are never mistaken for any brand but Android. Android watches make a lasting impression. Consider some of the following Android watches when making your next timepiece purchase.
Dual Time
For those operating in two time zones, Android offers dual face watches - the Alien, Exotic Swiss, Radar, Sonic Rader, Spy 2, Super Fusion, and Traveler. Each watch has two identical faces side-by-side. Flip the watch over, you view all the watch's movements through little exhibition windows. Wrist bands come in stainless steel bracelets with a fold over double security clasp, or leather with a clasp.
For those who prefer a watch of many colors; consider buying a Radar watch. Their clock faces come in different colors which are then superimposed on contrasting backgrounds. Want a sleeker look, the Traveler arranges the normally side-by-side faces one above the other. For sci-fi aficionados, Android offers the Alien. With two identical watch faces that closely resemble robot eyes, the Alien watch became the height of fashion culture when worn by actor Christian Bale in the Sci-Fi movie, "Equilibrium."
Easy Reading
If you enjoy water activities, the Android Divemaster waters, the Android Octopus watches are perfect for you. They feature luminescent, oversized hour and minute hands for easy reading. Their matching wrist bands and dials come in bright red, bouncy yellow, azure blue, midnight black, and princess pink. For those wanting luxury with sport, consider the Octopus Lady Diamond Swiss. It showcases.13 carats of diamond along the dial from 12 to 3.
Exhibition Windows
The 11 watches that carry the Android Skeleton name give a front view peep of how the watch works. Through a sapphire coated mineral crystal cover, see the watch's inner workings - gears, sprockets, and springs. One of the more unique Skeleton watches is the Mystique. Finely contoured, it boasts a floating movement design and beveled crystal that matches the bevel design of the watch.
Stop and Go
Android's Chronographic watches offer timekeeping and stopwatch functions, as well as provide a date window. The fashionable Interceptor Swiss, Ladies Galactopus, and Vertex styles feature leather bands. Want more high end? Around the Tungsten center links of the Exotic Diamond Swiss Chronographic shines almost a carat of diamonds and sapphire crystal.
Sleekly Thin
For that cosmopolitan look, Android offers a variety of thin band watches. The Arena's small cute face is highlighted by a bold 9 and 3 in the hour time. Ensconced in flat hardened crystal, the Paris' has a bright lilac face. The Jewel comes with dials in pale and bold hues and a choice of a thin stainless mesh or leather band, while the Sarah sports an oval face with diamond shaped end points and a genuine leather band.
Absolutely Unique
Want to really stand out, choose an Android watch style that is completely unique. Choose among the Horizon Skeleton (the hours are laid out horizontally), the Tattooed Banker (21 ruby jewels create space illusion with its Ninja blade hands), and the Intrepid (tracks three time zones and boasts an alarm). The Open Heart watch has several cutaways, including one heart shaped, and a crystal back that reveals the watch in action), Rounding out the selection are the Inter-Cross (comes with three interchangeable wrist bands - leather, leather clip, and metal), and the Hydraumatic 6th G Skeleton (the hydraulic spring style bracelet adjusts to any wrist).
A quality watch provides functionality and status. With the many shapes, hues, and prices offered, Android watches are at the top of the line in providing their owners not only with an affordable timepiece, but a lasting fashion statement.

Real Stay at Home Mom Jobs

You love your kids, you love being home with them each day, but the financial reality of your situation makes it a little hard to see that continuing for too much longer. Some moms have no trouble leaving the house and going back to work, but others are a bit more worried about being able to handle such a situation. If you want to stay home, but you know you have to find a way to make some money, you want to see if you can find some stay at home mom jobs that allow you to care for your kids while bringing in some extra cash. It's tricky out there, but there are some opportunities that are very real. Some are even well paying if you can put the time into them.
There are advertisements for stay at home mom jobs all over the Internet. Sadly, many of them are not real. However, some are real opportunities. The problem many moms have it finding something real without being scammed or paid far less than promised. If you follow some guidelines and use your head, you will soon learn the difference between real jobs that you should try for and scams that are going to cause pain and even cost you money. The point is to make money, not lose it, so keep your eyes open and your wits about you.
The first thing you have to do is think about any job you may apply for that is not online. The stay at home mom jobs that are real on the Internet might be ones that would be real without the use of a computer. In other words, a job looking for writers could be very real, as writers are needed everywhere, but one that promises you big bucks to click on a bunch of links may not be such a good idea. If a job sounds just too good to be true, there is a reason for that. Something will go wrong.
On the other hand, there are jobs that seem real, like making crafts from home, that are not. These are usually stay at home mom jobs and scams that have been around since before the Internet was common in most homes. These companies either ask you up front for money for your supplies (a big no no!) or they will receive your finished products and tell you they were all wrong. They are not, of course, as they will sell them anyway. You will see zero dollars for your effort and may have lost some money in the end. Bottom line: if someone asks you for money for a job, it is not legitimate.
The the types of stay at home mom jobs that you want to search out are ones that have a reasonable pay rate (no get rich quick jobs), do not ask you for money up front, and that are realistic in nature. Look for writing jobs, freelance work in photography, and programming jobs for web sites. Mystery shopping is real, but it does not pay much. Mystery shopping offers that claim you can make tons of money are scams. If you have been online for any amount of time, you know what web sites have been around and are commonly used by the masses. Those are the ones that offer legitimate work. There are other types of jobs, just use the above criteria to decide if it is worth looking into.

The Basics of Stocks

The world of the financial market and stocks can be daunting to many due to its perceived complexity. While it would be a lie to say that this is not a complicated world, once you know some basics it becomes easier to make sense of it all. So lets look at some basics.
To begin, I'm going to make it as basic as possible. What is a stock? Well, a stock is simply a paper document or a certificate that shows you own a small part or percentage of a particular company. These stocks are bought and sold through stock exchanges such as the Bombay Stock Exchange or the National Stock Exchange. There are also some smaller regional stock exchanges, but that's not all that important so I'm not going to focus on it. The BSE and the NSE are the two main stock exchanges in India and most of the trading activity in the country happens through these two exchanges. For a company to be able to issue stocks, they must be a publicly listed company on one of these stock exchanges.
Stocks are divided into various categories on these exchanges based on their market capitalization. Market capitalization is simply a measurement of the size of a company which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding (shares that have been issued and purchased by the investors) by the price of each share. Based on the market capitalization of a company, the stock is categorized into either a "small cap" a "medium cap" or a "large cap" stock. Various countries will have different cut offs for their definition of these categories and these will of course evolve over time with factors such as inflation etc.
Now that we've established what a stock is and how it works as far as trading it goes, lets dig a little deeper into some terms that you should understand to better understand this world. Whenever there is a stock pick being recommended there are certain terms you will be faced with so its important to know what is meant by the person recommending the stock. So when looking at a particular stock, there are a few things that describe it. Firstly, there is the "current market price" or CMP as it is often referred to as. This is fairly self explanatory; it simply means the price that this stock is currently being traded at on the exchange. IF you wanted to buy or sell this stock, this is the price it will be bought or sold at. Next you will see an "open" price which means the price at which the stock opened at today when trading began on this day. Any times the last traded price is not the same as the opening price on the next day due to external factors. The "volume" of a particular stock is the number of those stocks that are being traded on the exchange at that particular time. This is sometimes an indication of the strength of the company, very often really small companies do not have much trading volume and this is indicative of the investment being extremely risky.
Another set of terms which categorize stocks are "penny stocks", "growth stocks" and "blue chip stocks". Penny stocks are usually very small companies and don't have much of a chance of ever making it big. Growth stocks as the name suggests are companies that are on the growth trajectory and have a chance of striking it big. Usually these kinds of stocks are good investments and can make you returns quicker. Blue chip stocks are the mammoths of the corporate world, the old companies such as a Tata or Reliance. These are relatively more reliable investments and will probably give you returns consistently.

The Apple iPhone 4 Has Video Calling Through FaceTime

The Apple iPhone 4 offers video calling like no other handset through FaceTime, made possible through simply finding a contact and tapping FaceTime to start a video call to that person. FaceTime uses the front camera while a second main camera on the back of the latest iPhone handset is present for great photos and HD videos along with an LED flash.
The handset is also the first in the prestigious range to feature multi-tasking allowing the user to easily switch between applications both preinstalled and third-party apps from the App Store, and then return to them later in the same place having performed other task with other applications, or simply used another app while waiting for a download. It also makes it possible for the user to constantly listen to music in the background while performing other tasks on the phone. All this is simply done from a double-click of the Home button on the front of the handset too.
In addition to multi-tasking, another new feature with iPhone 4 is Folders. Folders allows the user to now organise their Home screen better, and specifically organise their apps, due to the enormous 200,000 plus available, for example the user could have a Folder called "Games" and have all their gaming apps inside it. Folder naming is automatic too, it is done based on the categories of the apps added to the folder, although they are still editable.
Along with all these new features the handset still provides the user with an iPod too, offering iTunes to store thousands of tracks of music including album information and artwork and simply scroll through with touch movements on the display to find the desired album, track or playlist to enjoy. Of course, the user also has the ability to watch videos, TV programs and movies from iTunes also. When a call comes in the music automatically fades too, allowing it to be taken.
The handset also still makes it possible to seamlessly browse the Web through the Safari web browser, which offers bookmarks, Google search and fast browsing performance, as well as opening PDF documents in-window, and multiple windows too. Email is offered by the Mail app which can sync mail accounts and emails, while Yahoo Mail and Google Mail can be accessed also through their own respective apps offered.
The Apple iPhone 4 is the latest in the iPhone series, and unsurprisingly the best yet. Featuring all of the common capabilities which advanced and novice iPhone users have come to enjoy, this handset now also addresses critics opinions with multi-tasking without reducing performance, folders to organise all those third-party apps and a powerful camera with flash, along with a new and more durable design. All this and a mobile phone.

The HTC Wildfire - Defying the Norm

The new HTC Wildfire is a smart phone that is cheaper than higher end Android phones. However, we have experienced a lot of problems with the purchase of these cheaper phones. This reality makes you think twice about getting this new phone from HTC.
One of the disadvantages is the cheap look of lower end Android phones. They are unattractive and are less durable than the more expensive phones. This is not the case with the Wildfire. It may be cheaper than its higher end counterparts, but it still looks stylish and elegant.
Another disadvantage of these cheap phones is their internet capabilities. With phones of the same class, the average download speed you will get is around 3 mbps. With the Wildfire by HTC, you will enjoy 7.2 mbps of download speeds. This is especially important when downloading mobile applications.
Yet another disadvantage of cheaper smart phones is the capabilities of their integrated cameras. Most of them only come with 3 megapixel cameras. With the HTC Wildfire, you will get a camera that is far superior. You get a 5 MP camera with LED flash, autofocus, geotagging, and smile detection.
Some of the cheaper phones come with a screen that is too small. With this touch screen mobile phone you get a 3.2 inch touch screen. This large display is ideal for viewing websites, images, videos, and games. This screen size is more than sufficient.
Mobile application compatibility will never be a problem with this phone. This is due to the Android mobile operating system the phone comes preinstalled with. You can download an assortment of applications from the Android Market and run them with ease. Furthermore, you can share these applications by sending their links to friends.
Low cost phones clearly have problems when it comes to processing power. The reason behind this is the mobile processors that they come with. The Wildfire is different. It comes with a 528 MHz mobile processor that is up to the job. You can easily go from feature to feature and the phone will not leave you hanging.
As you can see, low cost phones do not have to fall short on quality. The phone will offer you more for your money. If practicality is concerned, this phone by HTC will be your most practical choice. This phone defies the norm. The HTC Wildfire may be low cost, but you get a quality smart phone.
This author writes about the latest mobile phones such as HTC Wildfire and HTC Desire.

New Ideas About Stock Trading System

Either manually or with the help of any automated tool, you can check your stock trading system in the top FTSE 100 if you're careful enough. Although there is primarily no problem in checking manually, you must keep in mind that for manual testing you must invest a good amount of energy and time. You can ease your job considerably by using an automated software, although you need to build up your own screening criteria which must be distinct. The rest of the job is easy but it will be executed by the computer software tool. There are thousands of software available in the market, which can make you confused easily.
Some of the manufactures even offer you diagnostic test applications, but the best idea is to go for automated software which is compatible with a third party data provider You will end up making a wrong assumption in case you think that you will gain success immediately after back-testing the stock trading system. Your next job is to gather the final result of the diagnostic tests and analyse them accordingly. There are many who essentially concentrate on the amount of probability involved. They will go in for a trading process in case their back testing shows that the process is profitable as you can see from what we have discussed. However, a number of factors like expectancy, win-to-loss ratio, average wins, common losses, maximum consecutive losses, maximum draw down should be taken into consideration along with the profitability factor.

Finding the Best Stocks to Buy Now For New Investors

Considering the best stocks to buy now can be a challenge, but doing some research will help make it easier. Some basic investigating will help to build the right portfolio and ease some of the nervousness new investors feel. The most important thing to remember while doing research is to be patient, and do not put money into a company that does not have a strong and proven track record.
The first thing to ask is whether or not the company is reputable and strong. How is their business model? How much debt are they in? Do they have a history of good and honest business practices or are they being investigated by the SEC? Simply exploring the reputation of the company will indicate whether or not they are worth investing in.
As research is being done on the strength of the companies in question, think about the time frame of the potential investment. Is it going to be short term or long term? If a short term investment is being made, key indicators to watch for are growth and expansion. If a long term investment is the goal, then finding companies that have a solid financial history and background are important.
Once the time frame of the investment has been established, the next thing to do is watch the stock in question for a month or so. Examine charts and press releases and notice what the stock is doing. Investors look for trends that will show them what can be expected in the future. Obviously, nobody knows with complete certainty what a particular stock will do, but trends reveal a lot of information that will help make the decision easier.
Now that a company has been selected and the stock is on track, the next step is to find the right broker. Most individual traders use online brokerage houses to process trades. Unless an investor requires the personal touch of an individual broker, online trading is the cheapest and most accessible route to take. Most companies online also have research and planning tools available at the fingertips of the investor. Things to look for in brokers are price and reliability.
Brokerage houses charge different rates for stock trades, and most of them offer various features to help investors accomplish their goals. One key rule to follow is to pay only for services that are needed. Houses that offer cheap trades often do not offer much assistance in research, but there many free resources online that will provide the tools to make good investing decisions. Remember their published trade rates are both for buying and selling, so investors have to pay twice for the stocks they are interested in.
Finding the best stocks to buy now is a fun and easy process once research and planning are done properly. Research minimizes risk while offering the chance to build a strong financial portfolio. Taking time to explore the various options and tools before purchasing stock will reduce much of the anxiety new investors experience.
Following these simple steps is not a guarantee of immediate success, but the process of research and planning will give the novice investor the tools necessary to get into the market with confidence. Remember to be patient and observe before making the decision to finding the best stocks to buy now.
For beginners a history of stocks and bonds is a good thing to study before taking any financial risks on the stock market. For more information about stocks visit: Best Stocks To Buy Now
