The MB presented briskly and modern, offering a new attractive Cover Flow design that according to the filters you can use to organize the media such as photos and videos, adapts.

                One can also tag images and then combine images into groups. With an ever operated on the right timeline, collections can quickly browse.
                The MB is just fun and invites you to browse.
                3. New MP3 Player
                R0017264.JPG R0017265.JPG R0017267.JPG
                The MP3 player has undergone a facelift and now presents itself in a new design which is the cover art clearly stands in the foreground.
                By tapping the cover appear to additional controls. The volume can be regulated via the side buttons.

                In the player are user Quermodus previous firmwares the new design of the cover flow, but especially the huge speed boost to notice and learn to love.

                Cover, as it is now flowing smoothly, almost too quickly across the screen. Additional controls are found not only pause / play does not, what needs to get over, however.

                R0017258.JPG R0017274.JPG R0017275.JPG
                Anyone who has tried to download new widgets, was often met with a message "Maximum number of" face. Neither could delete old or install new widgets. Frustration was announced.

                Users will notice the new menu item "Connected Home" when they open the new menu for the first time.
                Rightly, many ask themselves, what is for now is hidden behind it. In CH the user opens up versatile opportunities to share the information contained on the mobile media with devices from other users.

                Some of the concept of DLNA is in this context to say something. DLNA is an amalgamation of a number of well-known electronics companies, which will enable media between different devices such as mobile phones, TVs, recorders, etc. to share and stream.

                CH, therefore, represents the DLNA client of the jet, which can be used as streaming video on the jet to a compatible TV. Or you can stream his music library as an audio stream from the jet to a DLNA-compliant facility. Various combinations are possible. The jet will then function as so-called digital media server (DMS). The structure of a compound similar to the Wi-Fi and BT connectivity and is easy and done quickly.

                More on DLNA can be found here.
                7. Notable

                Besides the above mentioned new main features can be found here and there, small improvements to a noticeable only gradually.

                Worth mentioning the ability of the e-mail clients display HTML content directly in Quermodus you to new menu items (eg touch panel) into submenus, and new icons, much improved audio quality (AAC) in the recorded video, the possibility of JAVA applications directly from memory card to be able to install (refers to XEII2) and a freshened design in the Media menu.
                8. Evaluation and Conclusion
                R0017271.JPG R0017266.JPG R0017254.JPG

                As you can see, Samsung has done Something that the jet can meet the high expectations set. Without question, some improvements could be made.

                Some will grumble and turn away, perhaps disappointed, but will the majority of users make friends with this update, at last, with the jet and enjoy it. Everything runs more smoothly, smoother and more pleasant.

                The design of some elements has been revamped and now do more. Additional features and widgets facilitate the daily use of the phone and, together with the support of the new DLNA client feature the multi-alignment of the jets.

                It may be said at this point nothing more than an unconditional update recommendations for the Major Update!

                Anyone who still believes there are dealing with a business device that simply did not adequately informed in advance and must not grumble now, but should immediately look around for something appropriate.
                In this sense, continue to enjoy your jet.
