Samsung Galaxy Note

This is a Smartphone with a thickness of 9.65 mm. Equipped with a super AMOLED screen of 5.3 inch HD, the screen size becomes “the largest ever included in a mobile device.” To put this into context, an iPhone screen measures 3.5 inches and 4 of the Galaxy S II measures 4.3 inches.  The style of a PDA has an advanced touch interface technology S Pen (stylus) and a processor 1.4 GHz dual core making it easier for users to create, edit and share content instantly. Both features promise a more interactive experience, with greater precision and control in writing, as well as the customization of photographs or video captured.

Also, can not call, send pictures and handwritten notes via text messages, emails and instant messaging back chatons Samsung. Its high definition display with a 180 degree angle of vision, ensures high sharpness that significantly improves the display of video, photos, documents, sites, applications, news and e-books, also available with a minimum displacement. Because the screen is large enough, it is possible to divide spaces and operate most frequently used applications.   In terms of applications, the Samsung S Planner includes an intelligent tool for career planning (dos and calendar, among others) that makes full use of the device’s large display offers an intuitive control and navigation.

 

The lightweight and practical, Vaio YB

Mobility, cloud services, optimization of energy usage, virtualization, accessibility and style? Each and every one of these factors, experts from match to the Forums Computer economics IDC Circle, top the reasons why laptops began to displace the desktop and in 2007. Four years later the picture looks more complex then. Laptops most complete remains, with a range of prices that can start at U.S. $ 1.500 and reach nearly U.S. $ 3 billion, for its power and accessories weigh between 9 and 11 pounds, but, the displays are around 17 inches and its use focuses on specific niches.  Of these, there were then in lighter models and design functions, which in turn are divided into notebooks and netbooks.

The distinction between the latter two is not very clear and applies different criteria, but is valid to say that going from largest to smallest size and power. The lighter notebooks are portable and are known as netbook ultra light, so that compromise the screen size, number and type of ports and peripherals. Most, for example, eliminated the entire CD / DVD. Other characteristics include the Vaio YB Assist button that functions as a “panic button” in case of technical problems. The shortcut activates the program called Care Vaio trying to provide immediate answers to minor problems that may occur to the equipment, is a blend of tutorial and assistant to update the system.

 

Microsoft’s HD Photo standard could become JPG

HD Photo format is already built into Windows Vista. The software giant is trying to be certified as standard by the organization known as Joint Photographic Expert Group, the same organization that once certified the original JPEG standard and its successor TPEG 2000. Microsoft hopes HD Photo is certified as a standard under the name JPEG XR by mid-2008. The Microsoft certification would help motivate the digital camera manufacturers to incorporate the format into their products. The HD Photo format allows you to create images with the same quality as JPG with only half the size of the file, or twice the quality of image with the same size as the current JPG.

A photograph may contain up to 68.6 terapixeles and occupy 32 GB. Pictures can be stored in the HD Photo format without loss of graphic information. If the format is certified as an open standard, Windows Vista would benefit. Microsoft has already received support from the camera maker Hasselblad and Foveon companies, ARM and Novatek , makers of chips for digital cameras. Adobe also support the format with an extension for Photoshop, which will work directly with HD Photo.

 

Boxee Box: TV to make it personal

Followed by the Latin American launch Netflix, the streaming content via service is comes the hardware to access those content and other similar characteristics. All owners of televisions, computer monitors or HDMI ports or DIV may complete their set of digital entertainment receivers that connect to a wide range of films, television programs and online applications. Boxee: Initially arose as installable software on computers (Mac, PC, Linux, even 64-bit-), Boxee Box or even now, iPad.

Mobile browsers: a quick review

You already know at least a micro, that mini browser that runs on your mobile device and was designed to show internet content on small screens, such as cell phones. At least one … because it is has been found to exist, as the crow flies, 18 for Smartphone browsers. Some can be “down” from one site to load into the device and others come already preloaded. These micro browsers can handle HTML, WML, ECMAScript, and plug-ins (or connections) with Macromedia Flash, among others, which are the source of their specificities. For this reason, innovations are similar and produce similar features. So far, the browser has not been a factor for choosing to purchase a particular brand of phone, hence the importance of taking into account the micro browsers that a user can acquire.

Firefox Mobile: This is an Internet browser for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. Features include: multiple tabs navigation, navigation bar with icons, password management, bookmarks, keyboard shortcuts and sync with the PC. In addition, location detection device, block pop ups, search engine support and a download manager. It should be emphasized that allows customizing with extensions or adds-on (such as Firefox Health Check). The user interface is redesigned for small screens, the controls are hidden so that only the content of the page displays and touch screen or touch screen.

 

Mozilla will not take the graphic format of Google WebP

In 2010, Google launched its WebP graphical format as an alternative to JPEG. The format is based primarily on the same technology used for video format WebM. Both formats are designed for use on the web. Among the browsers only Chrome, Google’s own, apart from Opera, built-in support for WebM, which is compatible with Windows, Linux og Mac OS X Mozilla, which has support for WebM in Firefox, considered inappropriate to do the same with WebP, at least in its current form. Jeff Muizelaar, Mozilla developer, wrote in April that WebP code is much better than the JPEG code . Part of Google’s intention is formatted WebP offer the same quality graphics JPEG files though considerably lighter.

Muizelaar says he is not convinced by the examples provided by Google. Equally unconvinced is his colleague, Joe Drew, who writes that he will not approve a patch WebP supporting Mozilla . Drew says it will reconsider its decision as long as the format is improved. The decision to Drew, lead developer of graphics Mozilla platform has generated numerous comments on the blog of the organization. Some users describe as incomprehensible decision, while others say the right thing is to improve JPEG. Almost simultaneously, Google announced that WebP compression algorithms have been significantly improved without affecting backward compatibility. This raises the question If the Google ad will be enough to change his mind to Joe Drew.

 

Welcome to the future of print

Today, if you break your favorite mug can enter an Internet site and acquire the file of a similar product for $ 10 and send it to your 3D printer, so called, and wait about 20 minutes to generate the plastic object. Remember that homemade paper printing began in the nineties with dot matrix teams that text and images traced with black lines. Today on your phone you can print a picture at home. Similarly 3D printers today do not deliver great detail in objects, but imagine how it will be in 10 or 15 years. “Today you buy the kit with the thermoplastics to form the object layer by layer in 3D,” said Bre Pettis, founder of MakerBot Industries, one of the first to create 3D printers for the mass market.

Your machine prints objects measuring up long and 30 centimeters wide by 40 inches high. But it is not unique and, in fact, is not the best prints. The company 3D Systems, which makes prototypes and conceptual models to large organizations since 1986, launched earlier this year for the consumer machines from one thousand dollars.  “Prices of 3D printers are coming down gradually so that people can create their ideas rather purchases made, “said Rajeev Kulkarni, vice president of consumer solutions for 3D Systems.  Anyone in the world is can order a printer and will be sent to their home, said the vice president.   However, 3D printing can also be done on request.
