Това следва мобилни търсене двигатели, ChaCha, suing за нарушение на марка няколко дни преди и служи като пример показателни за защо един трябва да направи на едно проучване на пазара, преди да вземе решение да се използва на вътрешния codenames като номенклатура за продукти на дребно.

На живо от на Apple iPad 2 събитие

2011-03-02T22:06:00.000-08:00

The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request.
By Joshua Topolsky posted Mar 2nd 2011 12:58PM

11:13AM "I'd like the teams that worked on this to stand up -- give them a round of applause. And as always, I'd like to thank everyone's families. They support us and let us do what we need to do. They make it possible for us to work our tails off."
11:13AM "The hardware and software need to intertwine more than they do on a PC. We think we're on the right path with this."
11:12AM "This is worth repeating. It's in Apple's DNA that technology is not enough. It's tech married with the liberal arts and the humanities. Nowhere is that more true than in the post-PC products. Our competitors are looking at this like it's the next PC market. That is not the right approach to this. These are pos-PC devices that need to be easier to use than a PC, more intuitive."

11:11AM Looks like we're wrapping up...

11:11AM "This will define the category for years to come."
11:10AM "This really is a giant leap forward."

11:08AM Scott Forstall and Michael Tchao also making some quality appearances in this video.

11:06AM Okay Apple, you've convinced us to buy an iPad 2. Many iPad 2s.

11:05AM Florence and the Machine -- Dog Days Are Over provides the soundtrack here. Perfectly matches Jony Ive's silky smooth lauding of this product.

11:05AM "Now we made a video that I'd love to show you."
11:04AM "We think 2011 is clearly the year of iPad 2..." Big cheers for that.
11:04AM "So iPad 2 -- amazing product. Faster, lighter, thinner. Cameras and gyro. iOS 4.3 and FaceTime. iMovie and GaragrBand. 3G on AT&T and Verizon. Same battery life. Same prices. Black and white. Smart Covers."

11:03AM "So, GarageBand for iPad. This is no toy. You can use this for real work. I cannot tell you how many hours teenagers are going to spend making music with this." Wow, $4.99. That's kind of insane.
11:03AM Steve is out. "I'm blown away with this stuff. You know, playing your own instruments. Or using the Smart Instruments. Anyone can make music now."
11:02AM "We can't wait to hear all the creative things people will do when they get this in their hands."
11:02AM This will be a dream come true for a lot of bands looking to do fast and cheap demos.

11:01AM The editing of multiple tracks looks really intuitive.
11:00AM "This can record up to 8 tracks. Let's put that in perspective -- back when the Beatles did Sgt. Peppers, you could only do four tracks, and the machine was the size of a washing machine."

10:59AM "Once you've laid down one recording, that's the first step to writing a song. That's where the track view comes in."

10:59AM "They make it so you can't play a bad note." Described as training wheels... really more like a taxi cab.

10:58AM Oh, it will strum for you as well.
10:58AM Goodbye need for talent!
10:58AM This is weird. Compatible chords are selected, and you can strum down each line to "play" the guitar.

10:57AM "We've got great guitar amps and effects... but you know there are a lot of people who don't play guitar. So we created Smart Instruments. Here you see an acoustic guitar, but one that anyone can play..."

10:56AM "Another great feature of these drums is that your kids can play them... with headphones on."

10:56AM If you hit the rim of the snare you get rim sounds, you can move from bell outward on the cymbals and the sounds change accordingly.
10:55AM Demo'ing drums now. Ha! It looks like a drum kit from the dummer's view.
10:55AM "Let's bring up 50's scifi... here's something you can do on the iPad that you can't on a real keyboard." Wow, you can slide your note up along the keys, but also tweak vibrato as you slide your finger along individual keys.

10:54AM "Some great sounds here. Let's bring up the classic rock organ. The look changes to match a real B3 organ." Ooh, sounds good too! And drawbars... and speaker rotation. Sounds very good.

10:53AM "Now we're only seeing some of the keys because this is only a window into a much larger piano." You can toggle octaves.

10:53AM There's a toggle for the sustain pedal. "Another thing about a piano is that you can play with dynamics... the sound is different when you tap softly or with force. How do we do that? With the accelerometer."

10:52AM "The first thing you see is an instrument browser. They turn the iPad into a musical instrument that you can play where ever you go. Here's a grand piano... and it's not just a grand piano. Clavinet, some great synths... let's stick with piano."

10:51AM Xander Soren is coming out to demo.

10:50AM "Touch instruments, you can plug in a guitar if you want, but it's got touch instruments. Guitar amps and effects, 8 track recording and mixing, 250+ loops..."

10:50AM "Next up... GarageBand for iPad."
10:50AM "Precision editing, sending HD video around with one tap. A lot of great features in an app we're going to price at just $4.99. Available on March 11th."

10:49AM Steve is back. "It's awesome. 1.3 lbs... it blows my mind, this stuff."

10:49AM "And that is the new version of iMovie on the iPad 2."

10:48AM New sharing options... YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and more.
10:48AM They've got a new "neon" theme -- think Miami Vice.
10:48AM Music automatically switches with themes...

10:46AM Over 50 sound effects come with iMovie. I hope they have the Wilhelm Scream.

10:45AM Editing does look pretty handy on that bigger screen. "We've also done a lot of work in the audio area."

10:44AM Randy is doing some iMovie editing.

10:43AM "This looks really great on the Retina Display of the iPhone and iPod touch too."

10:43AM Ha, homescreen looks like an old theatre.
10:43AM "Today we've got a new version that takes advantage of the iPad 2 and its extra horsepower. I'd like to show it to you."
10:42AM Randy Ubillos is out to demo iMovie for the iPad.

10:42AM "We have a long history of video editing, and iMovie for iPad is in that vein." Precision editor, multitrack audio, new themes...

10:42AM "The first one is iMovie for iPad."
10:42AM Steve is out. "In addition to these two apps being built into iOS 4.3, we have two other new apps. And we like doing apps. It can set the bar. It sets the bar high for developers."

10:41AM "So these are just a few features in iOS 4.3, and this will be out March 11th..."

10:40AM "From day one, you can FaceTime from your iPad 2 to all the iPhone 4 customers out there."
10:40AM Demo'ing the flip feature to get to the back camera. "If Michael had children or something, this might be interesting to look at." Ha!

10:39AM And... a FaceTime call is happening.

10:39AM "Next is FaceTime. It's the best and easiest way to video conference. We're bringing it to the iPad. You can FaceTime between two iPads, between an iPad and an iPhone, or between an iPad and a Mac." Demo time for this.
10:38AM "That's Photo Booth." Hmm.
10:38AM You can manipulate effects by touching. Pretty nifty.

10:37AM "Here I have an iPad 2 which is mirrored up there. Let me launch Photo Booth. The iPad 2 is so powerful that we're looking at 9 live video streams at once." Real time effect demos, like on a desktop. Scott is cycling though them to great hilarity.

10:36AM "Next, the iPad 2 comes with these new cameras. And we've built in some new software -- starting with Photo Booth. Let me give you a demo."
10:36AM 4.3 will add personal hotspot for the iPhone 4.

10:36AM You can now select which mode it's in.
10:35AM "Next, this is something we heard from customers. Some customers have said they want to use the switch on the device to quickly mute the device, others have asked for a switch to change the orientation lock." Ooh, backpedal!

10:35AM "When you tap on the AirPlay icon, it looks around and finds your Apple TV. It's that easy. We're making it even better in iOS 4.3. If you're sharing photos, you can use all of the built in slide show options. And now in 4.3, apps from the Store and even websites can do video or audio."

10:33AM "Along with the iPad 2, we're releasing the next release of iOS 4.3. It starts with significantly increased Safari performance. We took the Nitro JavaScript engine. Next, iTunes home sharing. It lets you get at all of your content directly over WiFi. Next, AirPlay improvements."

10:32AM Scott Forstall is out.
10:32AM "So those are the two accessories. Now let's go back into the iPad 2, because we have a new release of iOS -- iOS 4.3."

10:32AM Poly cases are $39, leather $69
10:31AM Steve is pretty stoked about this cover. "There are magnets in the hinge and the cover. And what would these cases be if they didn't come in colors. 5 poly, 5 leather."

10:31AM "That kind of reminds me of a Pixar short."

10:31AM Hard to describe, but let's say there was a lot of snapping this cover onto iPads.

10:30AM "They come in polyurethane or leather. Here's a video."

10:30AM "It's really easy to remove or change the cover."
10:29AM "They grasp it, and auto-align it. I'll show you a little video. It's so cool. You can remove it in a second. It adds minimal weight and thickness. It's got a microfiber cloth that cleans the screen."

10:29AM "It automatically wakes the iPad when you open it, and puts it to sleep when it closes it. Now how is this held on? Do we have screws? No -- we use magnets."

10:28AM It's a flap that covers the front of the device. Interesting.
10:28AM "We designed the case right along side the product. It's not a case -- it's a cover."

10:28AM "We did a case for the original iPad. It worked pretty well, but we went to all the trouble to make this beautiful design, but then covered it up with the case. We thought we could do better than this with the iPad 2."
10:27AM "Something that's going to be even more popular, we call Smart Covers."

10:27AM "Here's what it looks like."
10:27AM You can charge while using.
10:26AM Provides output up to 1080p. Works with all apps.
10:26AM "Mirrored video output."
10:26AM "Some other new features. HDMI out. We have a cable that does just that."

10:25AM "26 countries or more on March 25th. And that is iPad 2."

10:25AM "Just a beautiful product... so when are we going to ship it? April, May, June? No. March 11th."

10:25AM "When you add this together with over 65,000 apps... we think 2011 is going to be the year of iPad 2." Big cheers from the crowd.
10:24AM "Now some folks are out there saying they're only a little bit more expensive than us. When you look at this matrix, five of these six are less than $799." Burn Moto.

10:24AM "In addition to preserving the battery life, we've also preserved the price. The same exact prices."
10:23AM "This has been tried and tested... iPads get 10 hours of battery life."

10:23AM "Over a month of standby."

10:23AM "Now here we are adding stuff into the iPad. Cameras, faster CPUs, gyroscope and all this stuff. We've made it way thinner. Something's gotta give. You would think we'd have to give up battery life. But we found a way... the same battery life as the original iPad."

10:22AM "In addition to having both colors, we have models that work with both AT&T and Verizon."

10:22AM "It's really thin... and it comes in two colors. And we're shipping white from day one!"

10:21AM "All new design. This is what it looks like."
10:21AM "In addition to thicker (he meant thinner), it's lighter too."
10:21AM "Nothing approaches this."

10:21AM "When you get your hands on one, it feels totally different."
10:21AM "The new iPad 2 is thinner than your iPhone 4."

10:20AM "Having built in all this stuff, one of the striking things about the iPad 2 is that's dramatically thinner. 33% thinner."
10:20AM 'We've also built in the gyroscope we have in the iPhone and iPod touch."

10:20AM "Second, we've built in some cameras for video. We've got a rear and front facing. More on that in a few minutes."
10:19AM "The first iPad was no slouch... so a lot faster."
10:19AM "We go all out on the graphics performance. Up to 9 times faster. Same low power as A4. This will be the first dual core tablet to ship in volume."

10:19AM "What is iPad 2. What have we learned? It is an all new design. It's a completely new design. And it's dramatically faster. We have a new chip we call A5."

10:18AM "But we haven't been resting on our laurels. Today we're going to introduce iPad 2."
10:18AM "We've gotten off to an exceptional first year. We'd like to build on that. What about 2011? Everyone's got a tablet. Will 2011 be the year of the copycat? If we did nothing, maybe a little bit... probably not."

10:17AM Phil: This is just the beginning.
10:17AM Damn you Apple for making everyone here cry about the iPad.
10:17AM Man this is actually really emotional...

10:16AM iPads are being used to work with Autistic children. This is pretty cool. "We're not curing Autism, but it's helping."

10:15AM Doctors are using the iPad... and spending more time with patients. Also, the iPad has been performing brain surgery.

10:14AM Chicago schools... using the iPad, seeing huge gains.

10:13AM Phil: Some people call this a post-PC device.
10:13AM Gist of the video -- the iPad is magical. Sales were through the roof. Stuff is amazing.

10:12AM Phil Schiller: No one predicted this would be as successful as it's been.
10:11AM Hmm... screen just says... Video. Oh there we go.
10:11AM "We made a video about 2010, the year of the iPad..." Video time!
10:11AM "One of the things that's helped us roll this out so fast is our retail stores. They were built for moments like this. We have hundreds of Apple stores now. Without them, we wouldn't have been successful."

10:10AM Ouch -- Honeycomb logo... 100 apps.
10:10AM "There's never been anything like this for photography... 65,000 apps specifically for the iPad."

10:10AM "They're taking advantage of this incredible, magical UI."
10:10AM "Fantastic games, a lot of apps for business and vertical markets. The things people are doing here are amazing."
10:09AM Steve is showing off some of the iPad app selection.

10:09AM "Samsung put one out last year. They said 'our sell-in was quite aggressive, 2m, but our sell out was quite small'." Zing!

10:09AM "Many have said this is the most successful consumer product ever launched. Over 90% market share... our competitors were flummoxed."

10:08AM "We sold 15m iPads... that's more than every tablet PC ever sold."

10:08AM "When we said the iPad was magical, people laughed at us. But it's turned out to be magical. And people questioned whether it was an 'unbelievable' price -- well ask our competitors."

10:07AM "We're in a position where most of our revenue comes from these products."

10:07AM "Today we're here to talk about Apple's third post-PC blockbuster product. That's how we think about these things. We started with the iPod, then we added the iPhone, and then the iPad. Every one has been a blockbuster."

10:06AM "Lastly -- we recently shipped our 100 millionth iPhone."

10:06AM "A lot of people have tried to copy this."
10:05AM "Another milestone... let's look at the App Store. We recently paid out over $2b to devs in total. Devs have earned over $2b from selling their apps on the App Store."

10:05AM "Now Amazon doesn't publish their numbers, but it's likely this is the most accounts with credit cards anywhere on the internet."

10:05AM "That's iBooks. As you know, that's one of our three stores. They all use the same Apple ID to access them. Recently, we just crossed 200m accounts."

10:04AM "We have over 2500 publishers in the iBookstore."
10:04AM "Users have downloaded over 100m books in less than a year. Today we're announcing that Random House is bringing over 17k books."
10:03AM "We've got something great to announce today, but first some updates. First iBooks."
10:03AM "We've been working on this product for awhile, and I didn't want to miss it."

10:03AM Standing ovation for Steve Jobs. People are flipping out. He looks good!

10:02AM The lights are going down... we're about to begin!
9:59AM "Ladies and gentlemen, our presentation will begin shortly. Please switch devices to silent mode."
9:58AM As you can by the photo, the chair / table setup is here... just like when Steve showed off the first iPad.
9:58AM Did we mention that they're playing a lot of Beatles right now?

9:56AM For those wondering -- no sign of Steve here, but Jony Ive is in the front row.
9:54AM If you're seeing any trouble with comments, don't panic. It looks like Disqus might be experiencing the Apple effect right now.
9:52AM It's all Beatles all the time here.
9:51AM Joz is also in the house, just being Joz.
9:50AM Packed house today -- we can see Tim Cook and Phil Schiller near the stage right now. Expect to see more of them.
9:46AM Okay, we're in our seats and... the Beatles are on the sound system.
09:31AM We're inside and waiting to sit down! All the usual suspects are here -- and we've heard that Pixar's John Lasseter is somewhere in the mix as well.We're going to be liveblogging Apple's iPad 2 announcement (and whatever else they have in store).

Кокс прекъсвания рекламация кабел качване запис с помощта на Motorola абонати, все още се чака Гай си кабел

2011-03-02T20:13:00.000-08:00

Motorola и кокс прекъсване световен рекорд в курсове за предаване на данни
Задаване на няколко записа; демонстрира потенциал за по-голяма ефективност на пропускателна способност и допълнителни приходи възможности за широколентов оператори

АТЛАНТА CableLabs зимни конференция – 1 март, 2011– Motorola мобилност Inc. (програмируема Координатна: СМИ) обяви за постигането на нов световен рекорд за предаване на данни на рекламация път с помощта на революционни технологии от Motorola на кокс комуникационна Лас Вегас мрежова инфраструктура.

Използване на ултра ниски шум, висока производителност, Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 RX48 връща пътя приемник модул, действащ в рамките на Motorola BSR 64000 CMTS край маршрутизатор, запис на 356 МБ/със за 5-85 MHz връщане, път е зададено чрез изпращане през дванадесет рекламация път канали, които шест канала заети 256QAM модулация. Типични HFC мрежи днес имат два или три нагоре канали, които доставят съвкупността от 40-70 МБ/С.

"RX48 и тези тестове показват, че на кокс HFC мрежи са много по-бъдещи доказателство, отколкото мнозина са вярвали," Джей ролки, Главен вицепрезидент на технология, кокс комуникации. "Ние също така все по-трябва да могат да сегментирате нашия бизнес и домашните потребители, видимостта в която е предоставена от рекламация спектър на 5-85 MHz, използване на 256QAM. Нашите мрежи имат способност да поддържа много по-висока скорост на данни от днес без да се налага да замести някой от усилватели, кранове или кабели."

Тестът показва как широколентови оператори могат да поддържат повече клиенти и повече широколентови услуги, обогатени над съществуващите мрежи, премахва необходимостта за Неудобната и скъпо нови мрежови конструкция. Новият запис също показва как може да помогне на Motorola BSR 64000 CMTS край маршрутизатора, с RX48 намалят общите разходи на DOCSIS за кабелните оператори, докато едновременно откриване на нови възможности за бизнес приходи.

В допълнение към установяването на световния рекорд в 5-85 MHz, също е постигне предаване на максимална степен на 141 Мбит/С над 5-42 MHz рекламация път с шест рекламация път канали. Три от тези канали са били да работи с 256 QAM модулация, като противовес на 64 QAM максимум в употреба днес, което също може да се смята, че се запис. За първи път кабелните оператори могат да използват 5-42 рекламация път да предостави 100 Мбит/С, посветен на бизнес клиенти и едновременно с това предоставят домашните потребители с рекламация път скорост, необходими, за да се посрещнат техните нарастващите нужди.

Всички изпитвания са били проведени през на кокс Лас Вегас хибридни влакно коаксиални (HFC) мрежа наемане на няколко DOCSIS 3.0 и DOCSIS 2.0 модеми. Тя канали на три усилвател каскада, последвана от оптични връзка на HFC, състоящ се от един стандарт, КУПА на Motorola върне път лазер предаване над 7 dB от влакно да оптичната приемник. Продукцията на този приемник е свързан с картата на RX48 в BSR 64000. Измервания в съответствие с практиките на стандартен кабелен индустрия. На Конференцията на CableLabs Motorola и кокс демонстрира новия запис на 400 МБ/С на рекламация път 5-85 MHz, което започва предишния запис на 356Mbps

"Ние сме много удоволствие да показват резултатите от Motorola мобилност на инвестициите в иновациите, DOCSIS 3.0," казва Джо Cozzolino, Главен вицепрезидент и Генерален мениджър, мрежова инфраструктура, Motorola мобилност. "RX48 ясно показа, че ние се движат отново в положение на CMTS лидерство. Ние сме благодарни за кокс за съвместно работещи с нас да демонстрират непрекъснато голямо бъдеще на HFC мрежи и доказване на нашата вяра в тази технология за пробив."

За RX48:
RX48 те между 33 % и 50 % по-високи данни предвижда ставки, възможно в пътя на връщане от възможно преди това за въз основа на приемника си ниско ниво на шум и хардуер основа DOCSIS 3.0 канал облигационно възможности. Например с 5-42 MHz рекламация път към RX48, е възможно за първи път за кабелните оператори да поддържа 100 Мбит/С, посветен за бизнес услуги в само три безмитни рекламация път канали вместо на четири, оставяйки три рекламация път канали за услуги за жилищни данни, всички поддържа използване само един RX48 пристанище в CMTS.

102EX – PHANTOM EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRIC

01.03.2011Press Kit
INTRODUCTION
"Today, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars begins an exploration into alternative drive-trains, seeking clarity on which technology may be suitable to drive Rolls-Royce motor cars of the future. The alternative drive-train we choose must deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience. It must be a technology that is right for our customers, our brand and which sets us on a sound footing for a sustainable future. That is why this project is so important." – CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly presents 102EX, a car that represents one of the most significant initiatives taken by the company in recent years. It is the world's first battery electric vehicle for the ultra-luxury segment and continues a tradition of experimental cars running through the model generations.

Rolls-Royce produces cars that represent the pinnacle in luxurious motoring for the world's most discerning customers. However, the company also recognises the need to look to the future and to plan for long-term sustainable growth. An investigation into alternative drive-train options is an important step in that process.

With 102EX, also to be known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), it is the company's intention to carefully test the opinions and reactions to alternative drive-train options of a range of stakeholders including owners, enthusiasts, members of the public and the media.

Throughout 2011 Phantom EE will serve as a working test bed, giving owners, VIPs, the media and enthusiasts the opportunity to experience an established alternative drive-train technology and to feed back their experiences, thoughts and concerns directly.

The bank of research gathered from a global drive programme that will include Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America will be crucial to decisions affecting alternative drive-trains for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

There are no plans to build a production version of this car. Phantom EE's role is as a test bed, designed to explore established BEV technologies, to pose as well as to answer questions.

Can Phantom EE deliver an acceptable range for customers without frequent re-charging? Is there confidence in its ability to operate in extreme conditions? Will reliability and quality be consistent with expectations of the world's pinnacle automotive brand?

Phantom EE also poses more fundamental questions: Is an all-electric drive-train able to deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience for customers, an experience that truly befits the marque?

Whether all-electric or another alternative drive-train option is right for Rolls-Royce will become clearer when the test programme is complete at the end of the year.

102EX – PHANTOM EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRIC (EE)

Reinvention is part of being timeless and Phantom EE is the latest in a line of experimental vehicles from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It builds on a legacy which dates back to 1919 and 1EX.

Experimental models are used to test and evaluate new technologies and applications which could shape future Rolls-Royce products. Unlike a concept car, Rolls-Royce experimental models are always fully functioning, drivable vehicles using tangible materials such as wood, leather and metals rather than clay and foam or other concepts.

They present engineers and designers with the opportunity for real-world innovation and are used not only to showcase new components and engineering techniques but also to evaluate them.

The latest in this line of experimental projects began with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a strikingly modern and immaculately proportioned car in which high technology and hand-craftsmanship combine to produce something extraordinary.

Phantom EE features the car's ground-breaking aluminium spaceframe, so important to dynamic prowess, as well as the sense of calm and tranquillity enjoyed by occupants. However, the naturally aspirated 6.75-litre V12 petrol engine and 6-speed gearbox have been replaced by a lithium ion battery pack and two electric motors mounted on the rear sub-frame. These motors are connected to a single speed transmission with integrated differential.

Each motor is power rated to 145kW, giving Phantom EE a maximum power output of 290kW and torque of 800Nm available over a wide band. This compares with 338kW for standard Phantom with maximum torque of 720Nm, delivered at 3,500rpm.

The Nickel Cobalt Manganese battery chemistry holds around 230Wh/kg,a high energy density which is important in achieving an acceptable range between re-charges. Pre-launch tests suggests Phantom EE should run to a range of up to 200km. Delivered on an effortless wave of torque, 0-60mph will be achieved in under eight seconds (5.7 seconds in standard Phantom), with top speed limited to 160kph.

This is the first application of the technology in a GKL++ segment (super luxury vehicles priced at more than €200,000) and the battery pack is thought to be the largest ever fitted to a road car.

Evaluation of technology is an important part of the test programme. However, more fundamentally the car will seek answers to questions posed of Rolls-Royce owners: what their needs might be for the future considering factors such as range, performance and re-charging infrastructure.

The feedback from customers – as well as media, stakeholders and enthusiasts via the website www.electricluxury.com - will prove essential in evaluating the appropriateness of battery electric technology for Rolls-Royce.

It will help inform a decision on whether all-electric, or another alternative drive-train technology, will be most appropriate for the world's best cars of the future.

DESIGN

"It's a credible design concept that perfectly complements the experimental nature of the car, exploring options in light, space and use of materials. Had we changed the overall aesthetic, the concept would have lost credibility; our audience would assume it was simply a styling exercise. The reality is that this is an experimental vehicle in its truest sense, challenging perceptions, emotions and values - as well as exploring alternative drive-train technology." – Ian Cameron, Chief Designer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

102EX bears the famous hallmarks of the Rolls-Royce Phantom on which it is based, such as hand craftsmanship, fine detailing and iconic design cues like the pantheon grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy which celebrates its centenary in 2011. However, at the core of its design is the essence of an experimental vehicle, establishing this car's status as a test bed, while subtly alluding to its electric power plant.

The design creates a different aesthetic, experimenting with interior space and materials, as well as trims and illumination. These are framed around functional considerations for a battery electric Rolls-Royce - how the car is likely to be used and the changes that the technology brings in terms of interior space and exterior detailing. Naturally, these changes are executed in a way that affirms the car's credentials as a Rolls-Royce.

ATLANTIC CHROME EXTERIOR

Our designers were challenged with creating a finish for Phantom EE which immediately signified a special car, distinguishing it from standard Phantom models in the absence of many overt design changes. Not an easy task, since all Phantom models are special – with customers benefitting from a range of bespoke paint options running to some 45,000 colours.

Extensive research however had revealed a highly reflective paint using ceramic nano particles. Under a microscope these mimic the impression of a silver metal, but are between 8,000 and 80,000 times smaller than the thickness of a hair or 1,000 times smaller than the size of a normal metallic paint particle.

Test parts were produced and the design team were impressed with the results, knowing that the larger the object covered the better it would look. But they were under no illusions as to the task ahead.

In all sixteen coats of paint were needed, of which four were Atlantic Chrome, and many hours of time dedicated to ensuring a perfect end result. The finish is a striking one. Phantom EE commands the stage, with taut almost chiselled lines giving a wet impression to the car. This only grows in character as light conditions change.

ILLUMINATED SPIRIT OF ECSTASY

As well as the launch of 102EX, 2011 marks another milestone in the history of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. On 6 February 1911, the design for Charles Sykes' Spirit of Ecstasy was first registered, signalling the start of a 100 year period in which this famous icon has adorned the prow of Rolls-Royce cars, from the famous Silver Ghosts, Clouds and Shadows of the 20th Century to today's hand-built Phantom and Ghost models.

Phantom EE's Spirit of Ecstasy, sits atop the radiator grille above the red double-R badge applied to EX models. Made of Makrolon, rather than stainless steel, it will be bathed in blue LED light, hinting at the electric technology beneath the bonnet. This stunning image complements the keynote graphic of website – www.electricluxury.com – where Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will expand the debate on the question of electric luxury to the online community, taking views from enthusiasts, media and members of the public.

INTERIOR DETAILING

Atlantic chrome-finished dashboard dials echo the exterior colour, providing a sense of interior-exterior balance and their analogue displays maintain the timeless architecture that every Phantom interior commands.

Other changes hint at further evolutionary designs applied to the car. For example, some dials have been subtly modified to provide information needed by the driver of an electric vehicle. The fuel gauge in particular has been replaced by an elegant battery charge indicator.

One of the most pleasing features of every Rolls-Royce Phantom interior is the power reserve dial located beside the speedometer. This reveals how much of the V12 engine's power remains at a driver's disposal. Phantom EE takes this concept a step further.

It features a regeneration symbol which takes the dial beyond the normal 100% line of standard Phantom. Depending on the momentum gathered, it conveys the degree of re-charge taking place as the vehicle is in motion.

EXTERIOR RE-CHARGING POINT

Re-charging is undertaken with a plug and five-pin socket which takes the place of the normal fuel filling mechanism for Phantom.The standard fuel filler cap has been replaced by a design featuring a clear window, displaying the RR logo and 102EX motif. The window frames rear-mounted, tricolour LEDs which present the car's charging status.

On start up, the socket is bathed in blue light. This begins to flash as charging commences. When completely charged, the display turns green, then flashing green as the solenoid is disengaged. A potential fault in the system is indicated by either constant or flashing red light.

Charging can be halted via a switch located adjacent to the plug. The process can also be operated inside the vehicle using controls accessed beneath the centre console, for example when induction charging is taking place.

CENTRE CONSOLE DETAIL

A key identifier for Phantom EE is the design of the centre console charging and display, sited below the central arm rest. A simple switch is used to start and halt charging, while the display itself features a bright plate with an image of a battery, lit by LEDs.

Reflecting the lights applied to the exterior charging point, this image changes colour according to the charge status of the car. A blue-lit battery shows the vehicle is on standard charge, while pulsating blue indicates that inductive charging is taking place. Green indicates a fully charged battery while red notifies engineers of a potential fault in the system.

CORINOVA LEATHER

"At Rolls-Royce we pride ourselves in producing an authentic and natural product for customers, the quality of which is second to none. Seton Corinova is an experimental vegetable-tanned leather that allows us to celebrate more of the curves, creases and other features that are part and parcel of the life of the animal. It's a more sympathetic process that stretches our understanding of Rolls-Royce interior expectations. Owners' reactions will prove fascinating during the tour." – Andrew Monachan, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars General Manager, Leathershop.

Interior wood veneers present Phantom owners with unique grains, patterns and detail adding weight to the fact that every model leaving Goodwood is as unique as the finger print of its owner. Phantom EE takes this concept a step further.

Its leather interior is derived from a natural vegetable tanning process christened Corinova. This gives life to the car, adding definition to the seats, floor and arm rests.

Most leather produced for automotive applications is chrome tanned. This is an important constituent that helps to stabilise animal hides and transfer collagen into leather fibres. The barrel-dyeing process used to colour Phantom interior leathers gives a rich, uniform pigmentation while maintaining the natural feel and softness.

An experimental leather, Corinova distinguishes itself by being entirely chrome free. It starts with a preparation of Glutardialehyde to prepare for tanning. Chestnut extract, sustainably sourced from Southern Europe and Tara powder from crushed fruit of the Tara bush in South America are used for drum-spun colouring. Fruits are harvested without damage to the plant and the product is finished with a combination of natural binders and high tech polymers.

The process lends itself only to certain earthy colours – in the case of Phantom EE a chestnut colour for seat covers and Quebracho Brown for other areas such as the floor and trunk lining, both of which are made of durable saddle leather.

As well as aesthetic differences, Corinova leather presents a number of practical benefits. It uses less paint finish than in standard chrome-tanned leather and creates less waste. It negates the use of petrol-refined products and with further development, it may be possible to use recycled Corinova leather in agriculture to aerate soil.

Rolls-Royce fully expects perceptions to be challenged and first impressions will no doubt focus on appearance, as features that define the life of the animal are more clearly visible in areas like seats and armrests than in production Phantom interiors. A change from the sumptuous finish applied to Phantom leather may imply a compromise to some owners, but others may welcome distinguishing features that stretch individualisation for Rolls-Royce Phantom models ever further.

As well as gauging owner feedback, the leather will be tested for its durability and performance after several months on tour.

INTERIOR PANELS

The interior of Phantom EE represents a departure from the traditional wood sets that define the majority of cars delivered to customers, providing a unique finish to the car. It features a distinctive aluminised foil weave that lifts the environment of the interior, contrasting sharply with the darker natural leather within. As is the case with Corinova leather, the aim is to challenge traditional perceptions of what might constitute a Rolls-Royce interior design scheme.

BATTERY PACK

Phantom EE is thought to have the largest passenger car battery in the world. Peak current is 850A, delivered at 338V DC. Overall capacity is 71kWh.

The pack is comprised of large-format NCM pouch cells. NCM (Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Oxide) is a variant of lithium-ion chemistry that has particularly high energy and power densities.

The Phantom EE battery pack houses five modules of cells, a 38-cell module, a 36-cell module, and three smaller ones of ten, eight and four arranged in various orientations within an irregular shaped unit. This resembles the overall shape of the original engine and gearbox.

Each of the 96 cells was individually tested before assembly into modules to determine their characteristics and capacity. Sub-assemblies were further tested under load to verify that the power connections between each cell perform to specification.

The electronic sensing units for each group of cells were tested and calibrated prior to assembly and put through a rigorous temperature cycling regime designed to provoke failure of weak components. The main electronic box, which contains the switching and control gear, was tested in isolation from the other components to verify correct operation.

Three separate charger units (3kW each) are fitted to the battery, which allow both single-phase (20 hours) or three-phase charging (8 hours); for a passenger car this is unique. A fourth induction charger is also fitted to enable wireless charging, a technology being trialled in Phantom EE.

The battery pack would be expected to last over three years were it to be used every day. Part of the programme however will be to test this assumption in a real world environment and deliver a more robust answer to the question of battery lifespan.

INDUCTION CHARGING

Concerns about lack of available re-charging infrastructure in towns and cities are well documented and critics of electric motoring point to the additional inconvenience of trailing cables connected between power source and vehicles.

To present Rolls-Royce owners with a vision of a potential solution to these problems, Phantom EE is testing a technology called induction charging. This allows re-charging to take place without any physical connection, delivering greater convenience for owners and hinting at the potential for a network of remote charging facilities.

There are two main elements to induction charging; a transfer pad on the ground that delivers power from a mains source and an induction pad mounted under the car, beneath Phantom EE's battery pack. Power frequencies are magnetically coupled across these power transfer pads.

The system is around 90 percent efficient when measured from mains supply to battery and it is tolerant to parking misalignment. For example, it is not essential to align the transmitter and Phantom receiver pads exactly for charging to take place. While pads are capable of transmitting power over gaps of up to 400mm, for Phantom EE the separation is in the region of 150mm.

The coupling circuits are tuned through the addition of compensation capacitors. Pick-up coils in the receiver pad are magnetically coupled to the primary coil. Power transfer is achieved by tuning the pick-up coil to the operating frequency of the primary coil with a series or parallel capacitor.

The pick-up controller is an essential part of the technology because it takes power from the receiver pad and provides a controlled output to batteries. It is required to provide an output that remains independent of the load and the separation between pads. Without a controller, the voltage would rise as the gap decreases and fall as the load current increases.

The transmitter pad has been constructed to shield magnetic fields to prevent EMI egress to bystanders and the system operates well within internationally agreed limits.

ELECTRIC CARS AND THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF ROLLS-ROYCE

Charles Rolls, Henry Royce and Claude Johnson played their part in an electrical revolution that pre-empted the establishment of internal combustion as the dominant car engine technology.
Henry Royce had developed a career as an accomplished electrical engineer before turning his expert hands to car manufacturing.

His business F.H. Royce and Co, which began selling simple lights and bell sets in the 1890s, became prosperous through the design and delivery of dynamos, electric motors and industrial cranes. Royce's many innovations include the patent for the bayonet bulb holder, a design that endures today.

One of Royce's clients was Pritchett and Gold, a company based in Feltham in Middlesex. As well as manufacturing accumulators they had developed a two-seater electric car, at least one of which was powered by a Royce electric motor.

The Honourable Charles Rolls also toyed with electric motoring in the years before the two men met. He had negotiated for the selling rights of an electric brougham, through C.S Rolls and Co, in Conduit Street, London which latterly established exclusive rights to sell Rolls-Royce models.

It is likely that this car was part of the City and Suburban Electric Car Project, a joint venture of two men, Paris Singer and one Claude Johnson. The project had a short life and Johnson left to join the rapidly expanding business of Rolls, latterly taking the role of managing director of Rolls-Royce. He became known as 'the hyphen in Rolls-Royce', with a pivotal role in its success.

Charles Rolls was on record outlining the merits of electric drive-trains - as well as raising prescient concerns about range and re-charging. He regarded a model called the Columbia as the best of its type, commenting in Automobile Journal:

"They are perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration and they should become very useful for town use when fixed charging stations can be arranged. But for country use I do not anticipate they will be very serviceable – at least not for many years to come."

Later, when the first exports of petrol powered Rolls-Royce models were made to America, some authorities refused to believe they were not electrically powered, thanks to their legendary near-silent running.

In the 21st Century silence remains a key signature for Rolls-Royce cars. Other attributes of all-electric drive-trains also allude to famous Rolls-Royce characteristics. Power at low speeds is one example.

Thanks to improvements in battery technology, it may be that the serviceability to which Rolls referred more than a century ago is now sufficiently developed to re-visit all-electric motoring as an option.

And to pose a 21st Century question of customers, enthusiasts and the media:
Electric luxury – can it be perfection or does it present an unacceptable compromise for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars?

Eizo на 27-инчов ColorEdge CG275W е 2560 x 1440 IPS панел, който ще самото калибриране

2011-03-02T16:14:00.000-08:00

EIZO обявява 27 "Self-Calibrating монитор за графика

Hakusan, Япония, 1 март 2011 — Eizo Nanao Корпорейшън (ТСЕ: 6737) днес обяви ColorEdge CG275W, 27-инчов монитор за професионалисти в предпечат, цифрова фотография, графичен дизайн, видео редактиране, производството на пост и други полета, графични.

ColorEdge CG275W, имитиращ вграден калибриране сензор за self-calibration. Той става втория монитор в промишлеността на графика с тази възможност, следните EIZO ColorEdge CG245W, който бе освободен миналата година.

Self-calibration елиминира нуждата от други външни calibraqtion устройство и подобрява ефективността на работа, тъй като мониторът може да бъде планирано да self-calibrate извън на работните часове, когато компютърът е изключен. Компютърът себе си не е необходимо, така че self-calibrated ColorEdge CG275W може да се използва с всяка операционна система.

ColorEdge CG275W използва IPS (превключване на по равнина) LCD панел с местните разделителна способност от 2560 x 1440 (16: 9 съотношение). Това е повече пиксели, отколкото произведени от две 19-инчов монитор с местни разделителна способност 1280 x 1024 така мониторът има голямо пространство за показване на графики приложения и инструмент за палети. Тя има максимална яркостта на 270 cd/m2, контраст съотношение на 850:1, 6 ms Грей сиво Инертността и 178 °, Показване на ъгли.

DVI-D, DisplayPort и DisplayPort на мини суровини са включени. Всички портове за трите предлагат 10-битово дисплей, което позволява на монитора, за да покаже 1.07 милиарда цветовете едновременно от 16-битови чрез сравнителна таблица (LUT).1

Няколко функции са включени за точна цветни дисплей.

* Гама крива се калибрира в реда на фабриката.
* Широка цветова гама възпроизвежда 97 % от Adobe RGB цветовото пространство.
* 3D LUT подобрява добавка цвят на групата на съдебните заседатели смес (комбинация от червено, зелено и синьо) за по-точни цвят и сивото тонове.
* Цифрови еднородност еквилайзер (ПАДЕЖ) компенсира колебания в яркостта и багрите еднородност, които са характерни за LCD панели.
* EIZO-патентована технология се стабилизира яркостта след начало нагоре или следващите от режим на заспиване.

ColorEdge CG275W използва хардуер калибриране, така че монитора, самата се калибрира вместо платка на компютъра. Това гарантира, няма тонове се губят в процеса на калибрирането по-предсказуем екрана цвят. Software2 на калибриране на пакетни ColorNavigator на EIZO се използва за определяне на целевите стойности за яркост, бял точка и гама и генериране на МНС профил.

ColorNavigator включва "корелация помощната" който отговаря на резултатите от измерванията на ColorEdge CG275W вградени калибриране сензор с тези на устройство за външно калибриране. Това може да е необходимо в една работна среда, където ColorEdge CG275W се използва с други монитори и всички резултати от измервания трябва да бъде стандартизиран.

ColorEdge CG275W идва с шест зададен цвят режими, които се размножават общи пространства на цвят, използвани в предпечат, цифрова фотография, излъчване и цифрови кино: Adobe RGB, виртуално sRGB, Rec709, EBU, SMPTE-C и DCI.

Допълнителни функции

* Включва оцветяване качулка, която може да се използва в портретен режим, както и пейзажен режим.
* FlexStand 2 с 90 ° портретна дисплей, 151.5 mm височина корекция, 25 ° наклон и 344 ° халка.
* Пестене на енергия присъствие сензор, който открива, когато потребителят не е и напомня на монитора, за да влезе в режим на заспиване. Когато потребителят връща, нормалната експлоатация автоматично се подновява.
* USB 2.0 концентратор с един нагоре и две пристанища, надолу по веригата.
* Консумира по-малко от един вата в режим на енергоспестяване и сила не при изключване.
* Симулация на два вида червено-зелено (protanopia и deuteranopia) и един тип на синьо-жълт (tritanopia) цвят blindness.3, това помага на дизайнерите да провери техните цветови схеми могат да бъдат признати от хора с всички видове на цветно зрение.
* Ограничени на производителя на пет годишен warranty.4

Introducing the first ever camera to capture Full HD movies & 16 Megapixel stills simultaneously

Introducing the first ever camera to capture Full HD movies & 16 Megapixel stills simultaneously
Olympus Super Zoom Series posts another world first

New SZ-30MR & SZ-20 deliver high-tech at its finest

Hamburg, 2 March 2011 – When Olympus launched the SZ-10 in February, it was hard to believe the zoom in a compact camera could get any more powerful. The new SZ-30MR proves that it can. With a jaw-dropping 24x wide optical zoom (25-600mm*), this state-of-the-art flagship breaks all the rules in the compact category – and it breaks records too. The SZ-30MR is the first camera ever to offer simultaneous recording of 1080p Full HD movies and 16 Megapixel still photos. So with the SZ-30MR, users can shoot in high resolution with different combinations of recording modes at once, then share their shots in the format of their choice. For example, as a movie and digital still or a wide-angle shot and a close-up. Like the SZ-30MR, the new SZ-20 is astonishingly slender for a camera with huge zooming power. The super-slim design makes both SZ models ideal for people who like to travel light but insist on the very best spec. With a backlit CMOS sensor for excellent pictures in low light, 3D photo shooting and Eye-Fi card compatibility, these cameras combine practicality with beauty and sheer imaging power. The SZ-30MR is available for €329, the SZ-20 for €219, both from March 2011.

MR is for a Multi Recording
The SZ-30MR is the world's first camera to record 1080p Full HD movie and 16 Megapixel stills at the same time – thanks to an ingenious feature Olympus calls Multi Recording. For anyone who's ever shot a scene one way, then (when it was too late) wished they'd done everything differently, MR is a must. Dual Engine TruePic III+ image processors give the
SZ-MR30 the power to record simultaneously in more than one mode, and in a variety of combinations. Users can record two different movies at once: in wide-angle and close-up; Full HD and lower resolution; or original and filtered (using one of the SZ-30MR's seven Magic Filters for movies). In addition, with the Photo with Movie Clip setting, it's now possible to capture moving footage before and after taking a single photo. These innovations give users the fun and flexibility of sharing their shots in a variety of media – from full-size prints to video clips for their favourite social media website. Both new models come with wireless Eye-Fi compatibility, so they can upload photos automatically to the Web – no cables required.

SZ is for Super Zoom
The Super Zoom SZ Series lives up to its name with a 24x wide optical zoom on the SZ-30MR and an equally impressive 12.5x super wide optical zoom on the significantly lower priced SZ-20. With this sort of zooming power it's easy to take exceptional shots, from the expressive face of a gargoyle high up on a church roof to an emotive movie close-up of battling athletes. The pixel-rich 1080p Full HD movie format ensures the best moving picture quality currently available in a compact camera – with breathtaking realism, clarity and colour when users play back on a large Full HD TV.

1080p Full HD Movie recording
1080p Full HD movie recording (1920 x 1080) offers the best moving picture quality available in a compact camera today. With Full HD, footage is realistic, smooth, bright and clear. Movies become a fascinating window on real life when viewed on a big Full HD TV.

3D Mode (3D photo shooting)
Captures two shots of a scene from two different angles to create still photos that can be viewed with the added excitement and realism of 3D (on a 3D-compatible display). There are two 3D settings: Manual and Automatic. In both settings, the camera indicates when it is time to pan. In Automatic, when the camera is panned horizontally after the first shot, it automatically takes the second shot at the ideal moment. Manual is for 3D experts – the user decides when to take the second shot.

Advanced Face Detection technology
A technology that searches for faces in a composition and recognises them as the main subject. It then automatically puts them in focus and optimally adjusts exposure to create an image that's sharp in the right places and ideally exposed. Advanced Face Detection Technology can detect up to 16 faces.

AF Tracking
This system tracks a moving subject automatically and keeps it continually in focus – for optimally focused and exposed pictures. It even memorises the subject when it goes out of frame and resumes tracking when it reappears.

Beauty Mode
Beauty Mode touches up the appearance of subjects even while the shot is being taken. This feature recognises faces and automatically makes skin on the face and adjacent areas appear smoother, brighter and more youthful.

Dual Image Stabilisation
Providing two-fold protection, this special function helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or fast-moving subjects. It combines high ISO values with a sensor-based mechanical image stabiliser, where a built-in gyro sensor detects camera movement and adjusts the sensor accordingly.

Eye-Fi card compatibility
Lets users insert an Eye-Fi storage card and set it to automatically wirelessly transfer new photos and HD movies to the sharing website and computer of their choice.

i-Auto Mode
The "intelligent-Auto" mode uses advanced automatic detection technology that enables the camera to automatically recognise the most commonly shot scenes. This makes it possible to capture perfect photos without the need for manual settings.

[ib] software
Olympus now offers [ib], an integrated photo browsing and organising software. Images can be organised by person with a new face recognition technology, by place with a GPS-based mapping function or by event.

Magic Filters
Make it possible to create special artistic effects in still images and/or movies directly in the camera.

Fish-Eye: Simulates the dramatic effect of a fish eye lens, lending a new perspective to the whole scene with a "wrap-around" effect.
Pin Hole: Reduces peripheral brightness, like with an image seen through a pinhole. A unique colour tone results in a style that has an air of secrecy or portrays the feeling of being lost in another dimension or space.
Pop Art: Enhances colours, making them stronger and more vivid, to create high-impact pictures that express the light-hearted feeling of the pop art style.
Punk: Displays images primarily in contrasting pink and black to give them an edgy, punk-inspired feel.
Drawing: Transforms images into line drawings to give the impression that subjects have been sketched by an artist.
Soft Focus: Creates a soft tone that gives pictures an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere. It renders pictures as though they were veiled in heavenly light, without obscuring details such as hair or flower petals.
Sparkle (photos only): Adds twinkling lights to objects.
Watercolour: Another piece of artistic wizardry. This time images are turned into a watercolour painting surrounded by soft light.
Multi Recording
A world-first, Olympus Dual Engine technology allows users to combine various photo and movie recording modes simultaneously:

Photo & Movie: A Full HD movie and 16 Megapixel full-size photos. While users are recording a Full HD movie, they can take a high-resolution photograph as well.
Photo with Movie Clip: Records a Full HD movie before and after taking a photo.
Multi-File Movies: A Full HD movie and a movie with less resolution.
Multi-Framing Movies: A wide-angle and a close-up Full HD movie.
Magic Filter & Original Movie: A regular Full HD movie and a movie with a Magic Filter effect.

Pet Detection
Automatically detects dog or cat faces (two different modes) and works together with the Auto Release to capture the photo the moment the dog or cat turns to face the camera.

Photo Surfing
By selecting this option in the Playback menu, users can opt to browse pictures by date, scene, person, place, or image collection.

Scene Mode
Offers a choice of different scenes to suit the subject being captured, for example, landscape, night, beach and snow or pet. The camera automatically adjusts a host of parameters to achieve the best possible result for the chosen scene.

Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT)
A technology designed to improve exposure for pictures with dark areas. Using a sensor that works much like the human eye, dark parts of a composition (e.g., a shadow under a tree) are identified and the camera then adjusts the exposure settings accordingly for those areas. The result is a more realistic and detailed picture.

Smart Panorama
Allows the user to create an impressive super-wide angle, wrap-around photo simply by panning the camera horizontally or vertically. There's no need to pay attention to points of intersection – the camera knits the separate stills together automatically.

TruePic III+ image processor
Automatically enhances important aspects of image quality, including colour reproduction (range, saturation and brightness) and picture sharpness (reduced image noise, improved edge reproduction), as well as processing data faster. Supports the Magic Filters that enable unprecedented creative expression.

State-of-the-art TOUGH flagship is world's first 100kg crushproof* camera

State-of-the-art TOUGH flagship is world's first 100kg crushproof* camera
Crushproof OLYMPUS TOUGH is world record holder

TG-810 has 3-sensor compass for outdoor action

Hamburg, 2 March 2011 – Just when everyone thought the TOUGH range couldn't get any tougher, Olympus launches the ultimate indestructible camera. The new OLYMPUS TOUGH TG-810 delivers fabulous-quality HD movies and stills – and something just as valuable: unlimited peace of mind. This state-of-the-art TOUGH blows the competition away with record-breaking ruggedness and unique TOUGH technology. The stats speak for themselves. The TOUGH flagship is the world's first camera that's crushproof* to a weight of 100kg, so an adult can tread on it and it'll keep going fine. Thanks to double-durable lens and port technology, the TG-810 is also waterproof*, shockproof*, freezeproof* and scratch resistant to an unprecedented degree. With its built-in manometer, unique three-sensor GPS & Electronic Compass and high-resolution,
glare-resistant HyperCrystal III LCD, this stylish camera is the ideal companion for an active lifestyle – from home to hotel to a hike through the Himalayas. Packed with advanced automatic features for easy shooting in tricky conditions, the new TOUGH captures memories just like they happened, and keeps them extra safe for sharing wirelessly with friends and family. The OLYMPUS TOUGH TG-810 is available for €299 from mid-March 2011.

The toughest ever TOUGH
You don't have to live like a stuntman to abuse a camera. But with the OLYMPUS TOUGH flagship, you could. It's the world's first camera that's crushproof up to a weight of 100kg. But that's just the start. A sliding double lock mechanism and additional metal lens barrier ensure the TG-810 is waterproof to a huge depth of 10m, shockproof to a height of 2m and freezeproof to -10°C. There's even a built-in manometer to make sure you don't dive too deep. Just as well. Because this camera is packed with ingenious technology that's hard to find elsewhere – and makes it a joy to capture photos and HD movies, whatever the weather, wherever you are.

The safest and smartest
The best cameras (and mobile phones) often come with GPS. But only Olympus' GPS & Electronic Compass has three sensors to record the direction the camera is pointing (even when it's turned off). That makes it an excellent piece of kit for finding your way in unfamiliar surroundings. It displays more than 700,000 nearby geographic and natural points of interest – the maximum for a GPS-equipped camera. At a glance, users can check their latitude, longitude and altitude, shooting direction, the date and time or air and water pressure. In the water, the TG-810 really comes into its own. i-Underwater Snapshot, one of four underwater settings, detects when the camera is submerged and adjusts white balance automatically to ensure beautiful, worry-free shots – even in optional 3D. No matter the element, the 5x wide optical zoom lens (28-140mm**) provides precision and flexibility, while the large, three inch 920,000 dot high-definition HyperCrystal III LCD reproduces images on the spot in very high quality.

The best of the best
Like the other two OLYMPUS TOUGH cameras, the TG-810 offers high-end features that make editing and sharing a breeze, for example Eye-Fi card compatibility that lets users automatically transfer images wirelessly to a website or PC.

The TG-810 is available in silver and black for €299 from mid-March 2011.
