Everyone needs time to recharge their batteries on occasion. But for laptops to run optimally, they need to change them. Most laptop manufacturer’s suggest swapping out your laptop battery about every two years, which is largely dependent upon how much the battery is used. To get full value out of your power source, be sure to keep in mind the following guidelines before making the switch.

In order to remove the battery, save anything you’re working on and turn the laptop off. Make sure the Power indicator is off before proceeding. Remove any and all cables attached to the laptop and turn it over so that the back of the computer faces you. Slide the battery’s locking latch to the ‘unlocked’ position, and slide the release latch to free the battery. Carefully pull the entire battery pack forward to remove it, and set it aside. Do not dispose of a spent or broken battery pack, but instead return it to the nearest Toshiba dealer. Additionally, do not store the battery in direct sunlight, heat, or near metallic objects. Instead, keep it in a cool, dry place where it is not likely to be punctured or crushed in any way.

Depending on the model of laptop you own, there will be different guidelines to follow for replacing your battery. Please consult you user’s manual before installing a new laptop battery for specific directions.

So if your 312-0416 battery doesn’t have the lifespan it once had, maybe it’s time to switch it out.

For a while I have been saying (blogging, speaking, tweeting) that we are in a smartphone boom. Yes its global recession but smart phones are hot properties today. If you asked 5 years back; where is the future growth? The answer would have been Internet, Notebooks etc. However today mobile market is growing faster than PC / notebooks or broadband itself. Mobile internet, smart phones and portables are hence booming.

Recently Google has really magnified its focus on mobile technologies and it certainly looks to tap a big share of the mobile market in near future. Apart from customizing its online services extensively for mobile handhelds, Google also has its own Open Source, mobile OS platform Android. Backed by multiple manufacturers and Google itself, Android has a bright future.

Recently an analyst predicted that in 2012 Android would outpace the Apple iPhone. While Apple is itself the fastest growing co. in the mobile market; Android outpacing iPhone signifies how fast things will move over the past few years for Android. Below are some features that makes Android so special:

Features:

• The open source platform
• All app revenues goes to developers (without any commission charged)
• Free for manufacturers; instead of developing their own OS or licensing something like Windows Mobile
• Future support for netbooks, PMP and other handhelds
• Quality Google services integrated
• Feature rich competitor to the iPhone

While manufacturers enjoy a free and reliable OS that’s up to date with competition, Google gets the users to use its services. The Android game has just begun, with almost a dozen Android devices to be out by year end; we are yet to smell the real potential of Android!
