Innovative HI-TECH Releases!

4G Technology

2011-12-07T10:49:00.000-08:00

4G networking is a growing phenomenon across the globe, although it is taking longer to get off the ground in some places than in others. It is the evolution in mobile data access that drastically improves download and upload speeds when compared with last generation 3G networks while also enhancing audio quality for those making voice calls.

At the moment there is not a huge mainstream demand for 4G because it can be a relatively confusing area of mobile technology to discuss in any detail. It is not a single, unified platform but rather a collection of occasionally different networking systems which require a decent grasp of the basics to appreciate.

There are a number of networking technologies which fall under the wide umbrella of 4G, including LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-MAX. Data download speeds can range from between 10Mbps to more than 100Mbps and there are tests and trials which will eventually see 1Gbps achievable, at least in theory. In practice the real world circumstances which have an impact upon network performance and reception in the world of mobile phones will still affect 4G and although speeds will be much faster, achieving the theoretical maximum speed of a network will be as problematic as it is today with 3G.

There are a number of 4G-ready handsets available in the US and Europe, with countries where 4G coverage is still limited receiving modified versions of these devices in which certain components have been removed.

The HTC Evo 4G was one of the first handset to run on a 4G network when it launched in America back in mid-2010. Using Wi-MAX networks available in certain cities it was capable of hitting download speeds of 10Mbps and 1Mbps for uploads. HTC has since released a number of other 4G smartphones including the Thunderbolt 4G and the Radar 4G, the latter of which was one of the first Windows Phone 7 devices to offer faster connectivity using this type of technology. Rivals including Samsung and Motorola have also joined the market with their own 4G handsets.

4G is not exclusively limited to smartphones and in fact might be better understood in the context of tablet computers, since these are the devices which have the larger screens and higher power outputs which are capable of making the most out of 4G networks. A few tablet devices have launched with LTE antennas onboard but in the future with the increased emphasis on cloud computing solutions enacted by companies like Apple and Amazon it is likely that 4G will play a more prominent role. It will eventually become possible to smoothly stream high definition videos and even enjoy cloud-based software which lets you play games, edit clips and do much more on your tablet by harnessing 4G networks in a way that is not possible with older 3G.

While smartphones like the BlackBerry Bold get by on 3G networks because email and simple web browsing does not require a particularly nippy connection, the next generation of smartphones will need 4G in order to flourish.

Touchscreen Technologies

2011-11-17T00:22:00.000-08:00

You might think that touchscreen technology has only really come into being ever since the release of the Tom Cruise thriller Minority Report back in 2002, but the ideas and the hardware which brings tactile interaction into being are much older. There is no doubt that touchscreen devices have become commonplace in the modern market thanks to the popularity of smartphones and now tablets and there are some exciting developments being forged by various companies.

Flexible touchscreens are the big news at the moment, with both Nokia and Samsung attempting to be the first to get them into consumer devices. At the Nokia World 2011 event the Finnish manufacturer showcased a working example of a smartphone with a flexible chassis and display. The fact that the screen can be bent and twisted is not just sensible to improve durability; it is an integral part of the way in which users will be able to interact with menus, apps and services. The phone can detect when it is bent and twisted, allowing users to skip through tracks when listening to music, exit apps or manipulate menus screens. Of course with touch sensitivity and an OLED screen the phone will be user-friendly in any case.

Samsung`s flexible touch screen displays go to an even greater extreme of malleability than those found on Nokia`s prototypes. While still using OLED technology, these screens are so thin and resilient that they can be rolled and folded hundreds of thousands of times in a row without having any impact on the quality of the image that is displayed.

While flexible touch screen displays are still some way from being available on a large number of devices, the next boundary for smartphones and tablets to cross comes in the form of resolution. At the moment even the high end handsets have resolutions of 800x480 or, in the case of the iPhone 4S, 960x640. However, the next generation of smartphones with higher resolutions and pixel densities on their touch screen displays is on the way.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be one of the first smartphones to arrive with a touchscreen that features a native resolution of 1280x720, giving it the ability to show true 720p high definition content without compressing it. In addition BlackBerry manufacturer Research in Motion has recently announced that its upcoming overhaul of its smartphone range will endow its portable handsets with display resolutions of 1024x600, enabling a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9. This shows that smartphones are beginning to stack up next to tablets when it comes to the quality of the touchscreens which they are given.

Of course the tablet market is not likely to stagnate from a display perspective, what with rumours suggesting that the Apple iPad 3 will be the first of its kind to get a Retina Display, providing similar boosts to the resolution and pixel density as were seen on the iPhone 4 back in 2010. It is speculated that this might exceed 2048x1536 pixels, which would definitely put it at the top of the touchscreen league tables.

Latest computer hardware

2011-03-16T08:51:00.000-07:00

Desktop computers still remain one of the most upgraded and modified pieces of home computers because of the ease of access and availability of components and hardware at relatively cheap prices. The demand for high quality components to modify personal computers has always been very high and the availability of such components is increasing as more consumers are willing to open up their cases and add extras. The main demands are extra internal storage and additional memory, faster processors and graphics cards and upgrades of motherboards and cooling systems.

There are some new components which are making good reviews and this article will look at just some of the new devices that are ready and waiting to be upgraded and inserted in to an old personal computer. Most users will want to upgrade a motherboard at some time while they are replacing or upgrading a processor and Gigabyte motherboards have impressed users with their quality of components and the ability to be quickly inserted and matched up to current hardware with ease. The Innovision Inno3D GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card is also a new addition and the performance of this graphic card is able to cope with any high end gaming or processing that can possible be given (that is there is no frame rate distortion even with HD screens with up to 89FPS and it copes with some games that go up to 120 FPS).
The graphics card is probably one of the most energy consuming components in a personal computer and the noise of the fans to keep the card cool can be a distraction and developers have tried hard to quieten the fans operation and the current Inno3D is incredibly quiet and runs at a cool 34° Centigrade.

Running a high speed processor will require good cooling management and a good heat sink with deliver good performance. There is still some debate over using water coolers to cool the processor or air fans and there is a market trend towards air cooled fans still. The demand for higher performing desktop computers is ever present and the use of high specification hardware will constantly drive consumers to update and upgrade their existing models and the development of hardware meets the demands. Gaming will always provide the impetus for better hardware as users require better gaming environmental and now expect a multi-sensory gaming environment (in 3D).

TVs Technologies

2011-01-03T14:14:00.001-08:00

Over the last year technology has developed with such speed it`s sometimes hard to know what the next big thing is. With the growth of digital media and on-line marketing and commercial sites it`s hardly surprising this development is heavily weighted towards the internet and its never ending potential to connect people, places and information.

According to Which? Internet TVs are predicted as one of the key trends for the next year and offer an exciting range of new possibilities that go beyond sites we are already familiar with such as BBC iplayer and ITV Player.

Internet TVs provide both product and service, connecting the internet to your TV and giving viewers access to many different types of multimedia including video, music, radio, photos, films and podcasts.

Many televisions now already come with the option to connect straight to the internet. But with current market leaders offering extra incentives it`s not surprising consumers are looking around for the best deals to match their needs.

For example Apple TV offers easy access and predictive search options for YouTube, iTunes and Flickr photographs. Once your Apple TV box is connected and password entered a wireless stream of content is immediately accessible.

As usual Apple provides a sleek design for this product with clear and easy to use menus, a built in power supply and a system that keeps cool without a noisey fan.

Films are shown in HD and music accessed can be played through your existing sound system.

Google TV products also offer a streamlined design and multiple search options for different sites, including Youtube and Apps that match those that you find on your mobile phone.

As with Apple the technology comes with a remote control and keypad making it easy to navigate. You can switch between the internet and TV and with the TV Cam you can even make video calls from the comfort of your own living room.

To access this internet TV Google offer either stand alone TV sets or a separate box to link to your existing screen.

However to blend your home and travel experiences it is now also possible to use your mobile phone as a remote control to link to your home TV and surf, shop, watch and interact anywhere and everywhere you go.

With Google TV both your mobile phone and your voice become the search tools and enable you to control what and when you watch and listen to. Select music, podcasts, films or photos on the go and have them ready and waiting once you get home to watch on your widescreen TV.

Likewise, with Apple TV this technology can be accessed remotely using an iPhone or iPod touch. By downloading the free "Remote App" films and media can be accessed and added to your home collection. It is even possible to switch between your TV and your phone so you can begin watching a film on your iphone and stream it immediately to your home screen.

Select the right deal and the right phone for you at best mobile phone deals and it won`t be long before you are not only using this technology, but are inviting your friends and family over to watch and enjoy the very latest films and music.

"Necker Nymph" the Underwater-Plane

2010-04-09T11:08:00.000-07:00

The Necker Nymph is an "underwater plane"! This prototype has been introduced by Richard Branson the chairman of both "Virgin" and "Virgin Atlantic Airlines" companies.

This "submarine-plane" will be able to dive to depths of 10.000 meters (almost 32808.399 feet). Currently the engine can only dive to 40 meters(131.23 feet), the future models will be able to dive deeply.

The Necker Nymph prototype has been inspired from space shuttle. It has small wings and a cockpit offering an amazing 360° view.

According to Richard Branson, 1 week rental of such "underwater plane" will cost about $25.000; add to that the requirement of sojourn in his own island and the rental of his catamaran too.

After the space and the sea, Richard Branson innovations will continue to make what was impossible possible!

NEC reveals battery-less remote control prototype

2010-02-20T10:29:00.000-08:00

Getting tired from changing batteries of your remote control? That will be something from the past because NEC Electronics has developed a prototype of battery-less remote control for TV: The remote uses the energy generated from the button-push actions. Those actions generate an electrical energy that satisfies to power ON/OFF the TV, to change volume or to switch channels.

Specifically, this battery-less remote control uses "Piezoelectricity" semiconductor from “Sound power generation” and it uses a new technology called: “Vibration power generation” which bases on vibration that occurs when you press the button on the remote control with your fingers.

According to NEC Electronics Company, this technology is being promoted to TV set manufacturers, to realize it into practical use by 2011.
This battery-less remote control will be a good solution to get rid of batteries (as they are environment pollutants) and use a green energy instead.

Universal Serial Bus3.0 explained

2009-06-02T07:08:00.000-07:00

USB3.0 is a data bus using new mode called SuperSpeed and it’s able to handle an operation at 5Gbps. Initially USB technology provided 3 speeds (1.5Mb/s, 12Mb/s and 480Mb/s) that peripherals could use. As PCs become increasingly powerful and able to process larger amounts of data, users needed to get more data into and out of their PCs. USB is a successful way to connect printers, mice, portable players...

The objective of the USB3.0 is to provide more bus bandwidth because users nowadays download large amount of data. Devices such HD camcorders ask for ten of gigabytes of storage that the user will want to move to their PC for editing, viewing and archiving.

USB3.0 is a great solution for wireless devices and mobile architectures. USB3.0 is intended as an enhancement to PC architecture, Spanning portable, business desktop and home environments, as well as simple device-to-device communications.

Normally, all USB3.0 devices must provide support for both USB3.0 SuperSpeed and USB2.0 High-Speed, however, if the USB3.0 device is connected to SuperSpeed compliant port it will operated at 5Gbps instead of 480Mbps.
