Mobile Phone With Human Touch Developed in Japan

2011-03-03T21:59:00.001-08:00

Japan's Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) researcher Takashi Minato displays a human-shaped mobile phone in Tokyo.The human-shaped mobile phone has a skin-like outer layer that enables users to feel closer to those on the other end.

Japanese researchers said Thursday they have developed a human-shaped mobile phone with a skin-like outer layer that enables users to feel closer to those on the other end.

"The mobile phone may feel like the person you are talking to," the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) said in a press release, describing the gadget as a "revolutionary telecom medium".

The project is a collaboration between Osaka University, the mobile telephone operator NTT DoCoMo and other institutes.

They hope to put it into commercial production within five years by adding image and voice recognition functions.

The prototype, slightly bigger than the size of a palm, features an outer coating that feels like human skin, ATR officials said.

A speaker is installed in the head of the doll-like gadget and a light-emitting diode in its chest turns blue when the phone is in use and red when it is in standby mode.

The body resembles a human being but its design is so blurred that it could be taken as either male or female and young or old, the press release said.

2011-02-24T00:24:00.000-08:00

Apple Inc. is likely to unveil the latest version of its iPad tablet computer on March 2, according to media reports.

Apple on Wednesday morning announced an event for March 2 in San Francisco, at which the company is expected to unveil an update to its popular iPad tablet device.

Apple did not announce details for new products at the event, though the invite contained a picture of the iPad.

The first iPad went on sale in April 2010.

The iPad has dominated the nascent tablet computer market, but a slew of companies from Samsung to HTC have launched their own versions of devices to capitalise on the growing consumer demand for the latest sensation in the electronic gadget market.

Apple's rivals include Samsung, Motorola Mobility, Research in Motion (RIM) and Hewlett-Packard Co., all of which are aggressively promoting their tablets.

Apple sold nearly 15 million iPads last year.

The overall tablet market is expected to touch a whopping 50 million units.

Industry watchers expect Apple to unveil a thinner, lighter and faster version of the 10-inch touchscreen tablet, and also add a front-facing camera.

Apple may also add a chip that allows the iPad to run on CDMA networks.

At the same time, people are speculating as to who will lead the event with CEO Steve Jobs out on indefinite medical leave.

Customers can review and manage all of their subscriptions from their personal account page, including canceling the automatic renewal of a subscription. Apple processes all payments, keeping the same 30 percent share that it does today for other In-App Purchases.

“Our philosophy is simple—when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 percent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 percent and Apple earns nothing,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “All we require is that, if a publisher is making a subscription offer outside of the app, the same (or better) offer be made inside the app, so that customers can easily subscribe with one-click right in the app. We believe that this innovative subscription service will provide publishers with a brand new opportunity to expand digital access to their content onto the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone, delighting both new and existing subscribers.”

Publishers who use Apple’s subscription service in their app can also leverage other methods for acquiring digital subscribers outside of the app. For example, publishers can sell digital subscriptions on their web sites, or can choose to provide free access to existing subscribers. Since Apple is not involved in these transactions, there is no revenue sharing or exchange of customer information with Apple. Publishers must provide their own authentication process inside the app for subscribers that have signed up outside of the app. However, Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription offer must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers who wish to subscribe from within the app. In addition, publishers may no longer provide links in their apps (to a web site, for example) which allow the customer to purchase content or subscriptions outside of the app.

Protecting customer privacy is a key feature of all App Store transactions. Customers purchasing a subscription through the App Store will be given the option of providing the publisher with their name, email address and zip code when they subscribe. The use of such information will be governed by the publisher’s privacy policy rather than Apple’s. Publishers may seek additional information from App Store customers provided those customers are given a clear choice, and are informed that any additional information will be handled under the publisher’s privacy policy rather than Apple’s.

The revolutionary App Store offers more than 350,000 apps to consumers in 90 countries, with more than 60,000 native iPad™ apps. Customers of the more than 160 million iOS devices around the world can choose from an incredible range of apps in 20 categories, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple is reinventing the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

But these potential customers have different requirements . Realising this gap and keeping up with our reputation to understand the psychology of the Indian consumer, iBall has come up with handsets, which are custom made to cater to the requirement of the different class of people at different age group & across sectors.

At the press conference, Mr.Parasrampuria immersed the phone inside a bowl full of water for over 10 minutes. Two hours later, the phone was working just fine. The biggest USP of this waterproof mobile phone is it floats on water. So even if one drops the phone in sea or a lake, it can easily be retrieved.

iBall Mobile Phones 7 Mobile Categories are as under:

ASUS DirectCU II Graphics Cards Launched in India

2011-02-04T22:07:00.000-08:00

ASUS has launched an entire range of DirectCU II-enhanced graphics cards that include the latest technologies from both AMD® and NVIDIA® GPU rosters. On the AMD® side, ASUS offers the HD 6970 and HD 6950 graphics cards with DirectCU II while for NVIDIA®, the GTX 580, GTX 570 and new GTX 560 Ti all ship with the advanced cooling technology.

Based on ASUS DirectCU, which uses copper heat pipes in direct contact with the GPU core for up to 20%* cooler performance, DirectCU II adds a custom cooler that uses twin 100mm fans for a massive 600%* increase in airflow on HD 6970, HD 6950, GTX 580, and GTX 570 DirectCU II cards. ASUS has also launched the GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP graphics card with dual 80mm fans for the best performance in its segment through doubled air power.

The new DirectCU II graphics cards also include exclusive ASUS Super Alloy Power technology, which uses a unique alloy formula in power components such as chokes, capacitors, POSCAPs and MOSFETs to ensure a 15%* performance boost, 35°C* cooler operation and 2.5* times longer lifespan. In addition, ASUS overvolting utility Voltage Tweak allows gamers to realize the full potential of their PC’s graphics performance with an easy to use and intuitive user interface.

The newly-arrived GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II graphics card from ASUS uses specially-selected TOP GPUs clocked at 900MHz by default, representing a huge 80MHz overclock over reference. This indulges hardcore overclocking demands out of the box, something gamers around the world eagerly anticipate.

ASUS DirectCU II Graphics Cards Highlights:

- ASUS exclusive cooling technology DirectCU has pioneered the use of 100% copper heat pipes that come in direct contact with the GPU core, removing the metal shielding usually used between the core and the cooler in traditional graphics card designs. Compared to reference graphics cards, DirectCU models have shown up to 20%* lower temperatures under load.

- New DirectCU II technology is an evolution of the DirectCU concept. In addition to the copper heat pipes, it includes a custom cooler fitted with two 80mm or 100mm sound-dampened fans. Unlike other graphics card cooling systems that sacrifice fan size and airflow to maintain quiet operation, the quality engineering of DirectCU II technology makes it capable of deploying two large fans that still remain quiet and unobtrusive. Testing has shown DirectCU II results in up to 600%* greater airflow and up to 20%* cooler operation than respective reference designs. This massive increase in cooling translates into an immediate performance gain, as the card can take on heavier loads. Users can also overclock the hardware further thanks to higher tolerances and lower temperatures.

- Super Alloy Power technology is based on proprietary research and development of a unique alloy formula in critical power delivery components. Used in chokes, capacitors, POSCAPs and MOSFETs, Super Alloy Power technology boosts graphics card performance by 15%*, lowers operating temperatures by 35°C*, and lengthens lifespan by 2.5 times* when compared to reference designs. With added POSCAPs providing the most efficient power supply possible, DirectCU II graphics cards gain 28%* greater stability during overclocking.

- All of the new DirectCU II graphics cards cater to the needs of power users wishing to experiment with radical overclocking and performance enhancement. Each ships with exclusive overvolting utility Voltage Tweak, which allows modification of the card’s power delivery for up to 50%* faster clock speeds.

- The ASUS GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP features specially-selected and factory overclocked cores for maximized performance at 900MHz, an 80MHz gain over generic core clock speeds, which guarantees premium overclocking experiences for gamers.

These graphics cards will be distributed nationwide by Rashi Peripherals Pvt. Ltd.

Nokia Bicycle Charger Coming Soon in India; Price Approx 1890 Rs.

2011-02-04T21:30:00.000-08:00

For all those who are environment-friendly and believe in being energy-efficient, Nokia will be launching a Bicycle Charger by the end of February or latest by next month, as per sources.

This Bicycle Charger Kit uses the simple concept of converting kinetic energy (by pedaling your cycle) to electrical energy. It’s a nice way to charge your Nokia phones and about 20 minutes of cycling at 10 km/h, you can power up a Nokia 1202 for 1 hour of talk time or 74 hours of standby time. The kit consists of a bottle dynamo, a charger and a phone holder.

While the bottle dynamo stays in place, the charger and phone holder can be carried around once you park your bike. The charger can charge phones that use a 2-mm charger interface which means there’s a whole lot of old and current Nokia phones that can be charged, right from a black and white Nokia 1200 to an N95.

The whole kit which is currently available in Europe comes for €30 (approx Rs. 1,890) is said to be priced at Rs. 1499 in India. The price is almost the same as that of a bicycle so whether not this gadget does make a difference is to be seen. You can check Nokia's site for more details.

Jabra Cruiser2 & Jabra Wave; New Jabra Handsfree Launched in India

2011-01-31T22:25:00.000-08:00

Jabra, a world leader in developing innovative hands-free solutions that deliver great audio and are both easy-to-use and intuitive, announced two new offerings Cruiser 2 and WAVE, thus extending the company's leadership position in the Indian hands free market.

Speaking on the announcement Jonathan Tang, APAC Managing Director of Jabra Mobile Business said: "We now offer a full portfolio of hands-free products and look forward to continuing to help grow the market as consumers become more informed about the benefits of hands-free solutions.

The Jabra CRUISER2, the next generation of the critically acclaimed CRUISER in-car speakerphone, builds on Jabra's extensive experience developing easy-to-use products that enhance users' everyday lifestyle and the Jabra WAVE will offer even greater comfort as these behind-the-ear legacy products, with a thinner, sleeker design."

Jabra CRUISER2 is looking to provide a "no excuses" approach to hands-free driving in an effort to change consumer behavior.

With ease-of-use in mind, Jabra CRUISER2 has several new features that set it apart from other in-car speakerphones including Caller ID - the speakerphone will tell you who is calling, exactly how you have the caller programmed into your mobile phone (for example, "Mom calling" or "Martin Work calling") - and Voice Guidance to both guide users through the set-up process and to clearly tell you connectivity status and low battery levels.

In addition, the FM Transmitter gives the ability to transmit and play MP3s from a mobile device to the car's stereo system via the in-car speakerphone. With Noise BlackoutT technology that reduces ambient sound without comprising voice quality, the Jabra CRUISER2 features strategically placed microphones that are able to distinguish between background noise and the caller's voice, ensuring optimized audio without distracting noise from other passengers or outside traffic.

The 2nd new product launched by Jabra is the Jabra WAVE, a Bluetooth headset featuring an enhanced behind-the-ear wearing style. Back by popular demand, the Jabra Wave's behind-the-ear fit emulates the design of such blockbuster hits as the Jabra EarWave boom and BT250. This signature Jabra style has sold more than 10 million units worldwide to-date and is voted the most comfortable and stable style by end users.

Jabra Wave is significantly slimmer and easier-to-use than its predecessors, the Jabra WAVE's ergonomic fit is ideal for all-day use and its voice guidance system, StatusDisplayTM, and easy-to-locate answer/end button on the microphone boom help create a simple, intuitive user experience.

The flexible shape of the headset molds to a user's ear and distributes the headset's weight evenly, providing a secure and discreet fit. New battery technology also allows for a slimmer design and ultra-soft materials ensure a comfortable, light-weight feel, allowing users to communicate freely and naturally.

It also features a new microphone concept with significantly better immunity to wind noise. The headset's boom tip features a microphone that is designed with rounded holes for smooth wind passage and less turbulence and the microphone is also wrapped in foam material developed to further reduce wind noise.

This design, combined with Digital Signal Processing (DSP), allows for crystal clear audio - even while walking or when the outdoor elements aren't ideal. Automatic volume adjustment and acoustic shock protection prevent unexpected high pitched tones and other noises that may occur in telephone networks while ensuring that every conversation is at a comfortable, safe volume level.

Both Jabra WAVE and Cruiser2 can be connected to up to two devices at the same time via MultiuseT technology, allowing users to transition seamlessly between multiple phones, or even internet calls if connected to a Bluetooth enabled PC. Voice guidance takes the guesswork out of operating a headset or in-car speakerphone by notifying users of the crucial status updates, such as connectivity and low battery.

Jabra Cruiser2 Price in India: Rs. 5999

Jabra Wave Price in India: Rs. 3899

Samsung is gearing up for a huge showing at Mobile World Congress as new handsets continue to leak like a dripping faucet. A few official renders have made their way to the internet along with an official name for a handset we saw for the first time last week. The Samsung Galaxy Ace will be the name the S5830 goes by when it comes to market. The renders don’t say much about the iPhone 4-esque handset that we don’t already know.

Also outed is the Samsung Galaxy Suit, which we don’t have much to go on in terms of specs. Judging by its styling and name, we’d guess this will be aimed towards business users.

The CNN App is designed to provide users with an immersive and visual broadsheetnews experience that takes full advantage of iPad's expansive real estate and Multi Touch interface. Simultaneous to this launch, the CNN App for iPhone and iPod touch in the U.S. will be available for free, and a major update to the International version will add live breaking news video.

"High quality, world-class journalism is what CNN does best, whether live breaking news, hard-hitting interviews or in-depth investigations, and our iPad app presents that content to the world in a wholly new way," said KC Estenson, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com.

"One of the things about the app that excites us most is the ability to serve the news needs of iPad users while also exposing them to original, enterprise content from CNN that will surprise and delight them," said Louis Gump, vice president of CNN Mobile.
