 Samsung ATIV S is the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone

The Galaxy Note II wasn’t the only flagship device that Samsung announced at its pre-IFA press conference. The company has also revealed the first ever Windows Phone 8 smartphone – the Samsung ATIV S.



The ATIV S is built around a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display of HD resolution and has Gorilla Glass 2 on top for extra protection. Powering the smartphone is a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Krait processor and 1GB of RAM. At the back, there’s an 8MP camera with 1.9MP snapper at the front.

Measuring 137.2 mm x 70.5 mm x 8.7 mm the Samsung ATIV S weighs 135 grams and packs a beefy 2,300mAh battery. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3 and NFC. Windows Phone 8 supports memory expansion slots and the Samsung ATIV S makes use of that, bringing a microSD card slot to allow expansion of its 16GB or 32GB built-in storage.

Pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed, but we're guessing the smartphone will hit the shelves immediately after Microsoft officially releases the Windows Phone 8 OS.

Making the Samsung ATIV S company are three new Windows 8-powered tablets – the 10.1” ATIV Tab, and two 11.6” ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro.

How to view malayalam fonts in web pages

Some of my friends asked me how to view Malayalam fonts in websites, they see only some boxes instead of the actual font. You might have also noticed this, not only Malayalam but also with other foreign languages. So my first post is about viewing malayalam fonts(or any other languages) in websites. This is not a new thing, but as there are newbies around the net every time, I decided to write a post about it.
The web browsers like Mozilla and internet explorer have a greater support to many fonts, but some other browsers including chrome have less support for fonts. In that case we need to manually add the fonts used by the websites in our computer. The commonly used fonts have an extension .TTF or .FON. first we need to download this font file from the internet and add to the fonts library.

The steps and screen shots are shown below

1.Download the font
some commonly used malayalam fonts are

Malayala Manorama
DOWNLOAD Manorama.ttf

Deshabhimani
DOWNLOAD MLW-TTREVATHI.TTF

Deepika
DOWNLOAD mlkr0ntt_TTF.ttf

Other commonly used fonts
DOWNLOAD jacobs mal medium.TTF
DOWNLOAD AnjaliOldLipi.ttf

2.Right click and copy the file

3.Open Control Panel
   Start>Control Panel

4.Open Fonts folder
 Start>Control Panel>Fonts

Edit>paste

6.Now close and reopen your browser.
