USB 3.0 Is Coming to Smartphones and Tablets

2012-01-09T05:43:00.001-08:00

By the end of 2012 smartphones and tablet devices will sport a USB 3.0-based microUSB connector, which will allow speedier data transfer than the current USB 2.0 standard.

USB 3.0 theoretically allows for data transfer rates of around 625 MB/s, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0, whose maximum data transfer speed is 60 MB/s. The USB 3.0 transfer speed on mobile devices won’t be that fast, but it will be much faster than now.

“What takes 15 minutes will roughly take 1 minute and 10 seconds,” said Rahman Ismail, CTO of the USB Implementers Forum at the CES trade show in Las Vegas.

Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets will also recharge more quickly through USB 3.0.

To be able to implement USB 3.0 in the context of mobile devices, the USB Implementers Forum will have to develop new specifications for the standard. “We’re coming out with new specs, new areas where we will make it very power efficient, power friendly,” said Ismail.

USB Implementers Forum also said it aims to reduce the size of USB 3.0 ports on laptops, as it’s becoming a limiting factor in laptop thinness.

Lenovo's 55-inch IdeaTV K91

2012-01-08T16:27:00.000-08:00

K91 is the world's first Android Ice Cream Sandwich TV

Back in late November last year, Lenovo's Chinese folks teased a certain IdeaTV or LeTV for launch this year, and now we finally get to see it in its full glory. Dubbed the K91, we're looking at a 55-inch IPS 3D HDTV running Android Ice Cream Sandwich (a first for smart TVs, yet not quite a Google TV), and inside it sits a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon APQ8060. Dig a little deeper and you'll also find 1GB of RAM, 8GB storage, SD card expansion, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 10M/100M Ethernet, HDMI and USB 2.0 connectivity (which is much needed for an external hard drive to store video content). As you can see in the pictures, the K91 will come with some Lenovo cloud services, including an app store (but the TV will have over 100 apps preloaded, anyway) and video-on-demand, along with voice control and facial recognition (mainly for child lock, we presume) using its five-megapixel webcam. As always, we'll get back to you as soon as we get information on dates and prices.

Apple Ipad 3 Added Features?

2012-01-07T19:52:00.000-08:00

A few months from now the new Ipad 3 will be announced. So basically there are a lot of rumor spreading out.

I'm hearing that the Ipad 3 will get a revamp screen resolution, a higher megapixel camera and A6 processor (quad-core). There has been speculations that the new Ipad 3 will feature a retina display that are found in the iPhone and Ipod Touch. If that were true, we are expecting a 2x better resolution than the previous model.

Camera might end up just what you can find in the current iPhone 4s but not sure though if it will be an 8 megapixel or five. One thing is for sure, the front facing camera will have an HD recording capabilities.

With the iOS 5.1 beta code has been leaked out, see my previous post here http://bardsgadget.blogspot.com/2012/01/iphone-5-to-ship-with-quad-core-chips.html it is also safe to say that Ipad 3 will ship with quad core processor.

We are also expecting a $100 price drop for the current model Ipad 2.

iPhone 5 to Ship with Quad-Core Chips?

2012-01-07T19:32:00.000-08:00

Reliable sources has been reporting that the iOS 5.1 beta code will support quad-core processors. We could expect that the next release of iPhone or Ipad will be equip with this hardware.

core.0 means single-core, core.3 means quad-core

Good news is Apple is already making steps on their hardware for its next product release. Expect the next generation A6 processors will be running on quad-core.
