Solid Applied Technologies

Archive for February, 2012

In this framework we find news from all bands, from the ultra-thin models who choose, to integrating their devices with Google TV or even Ubuntu, but there is still time to see the latter in action. LG has introduced its new range of televisions which includes a lot of weird little words as LEDs, Smart TV, Cinema and 3D, and you do not miss going to tell you a little of what this is, so you can choose the TV best suits you.

• LED Technology

Start with LED technology, which is one of the most important. Hitherto employed tiny fluorescent lamps illuminating large areas of the screen so that light from a zone, this streamed to the next. The problem with this is that it was very bad for the contrast, because if there was a very bright area next to a very little light was passed from one to another. LED technology replaces those small fluorescent lamps emitting independent light areas of the screen much smaller. Because this greatly improves image quality and contrast.

The best thing to do is go to a store where they have plenty of models to compare and you focus on the LED. It is one of those technologies that are felt, not like others, I really did not offer much. Anyway here is all, and it is best you see it live, because they have to like more.

• Smart TV

The fashionable term. Now for a TV is good must be Smart TV, is like the much-Full HD used before, but this makes more sense. What makes a TV Smart TV is to much of what television offers. So far these devices only allow one-way communication, so we saw it aired, and the only control we had was to change the channel.

Smart TV introduces Internet on TV, thanks to applications gives extra value because we can access the browser, YouTube, Facebook or Skype. If you ask me, I think it is the revolution that broadcasters needed, because there was no point to an archaic model of TV as we knew before. Furthermore, this will gradually improve, and different brands will have improvements to make it better.

• 3D Cinema

3D Entertainment is a very controversial topic. Not like many people, and there are some who hate it especially. However the problem is rather that it tried to market from the start too early in a state in which it was developed. Gradually this technology improves, and televisions as this we find a much more elaborate 3D and better managed.

Not only can access the contents that are already in 3D, but the technology to turn any 3D content to enjoy it as well with glasses. As I remain unconvinced at all, but recognize that is slowly improving a lot, and no longer produces dizziness that created the beginning, so it is possible that within the 3D end not much winning. I think there is still time for 3D to become a truly viable model, but it is a good start, and only improvements made here will convince us to use.

Amazon is going crazy with the manufacturers of tablets and eReaders with its incredible low prices as they really are taking a heavy blow to the market. Both have been taken to put the batteries on all sides, and has even been rumored on Apple and Samsung could soon present low cost tablets to compete with the price of Kindle Fire.

Today Barnes & Noble has submitted a full financial report and pass and has cast a new tablet in it, the Nook Tablet 8GB.

What catches the attention, before you start looking at properties and other stories, is its price as it hits the market for $ 199, exactly the same as the Kindle Fire, which should not be a coincidence.

This tablet is exactly the same as the house was for sale since last November, but the price is reduced from the previous $ 249 and increase the memory up to 8GB. In addition there is also a 16GB model for $ 249.

Here’s their technical characteristics:

•      0.4 Kg
•      Processor 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP4 with 512MB RAM (1GB of RAM on the 16GB model)
•      VividView screen 7 “
•      802.11b/g/n WiFi connectivity
•      File Support EPUB, PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT, TXT, DOCM, XLSM MEPP, PPSX, PPSM, DOCX, XLX and PPTX

As you can see is very similar to Kindle Fire but, if I may, with the advantage of not being so closed to Amazon services as your tablet, which gives us more versatility. This we have not tested yet, and we must recognize that the Fire would like a shot, but with these features the new Nook does not have to fail.

How about this tablet lowcost? You think it’s a real alternative to tablets powerful Android or iPad for consumers who do not demand so much?

NFC chips and allow us to make payments, synchronizing equipment and more with a single “tap”. A technology with many possibilities that is becoming closer. Still not a reality to capacity, there is no service in our country in which to make payments (Google Wallet) and the NFC is perhaps still a little green for this very reason. But we doubt that the future is very likely we end up using in our daily lives its benefits.

And if you want to know practical examples of how we use it, Sony gives us a few más.Y not support that does not have this great technology. Large companies are dipped in the development and adaptation, but a mixture of ignorance and distrust of the technology that does not benefit at all. And above this value only practical examples. It’s what you can see and touch what is to stop convincing people.

And Visa, Google, RIM and many others support this technology, Sony is not trying to escape. And it has created an interesting system consisting of the so-called Smartags, a kind of llaveritos NFC chip to suit all situations of our daily lives. An example of how you can serve the NFC chips for many more applications than the simple payment.

In a promotional video, Sony shows us the possibilities of Smartags along with recently introduced its new mobile, the Xperia S. Here we can see how each situation we have some needs of our different terminal configuration, if we’re home, at work, or going by car. For something as simple as they passed the end of one of these Smartags, we could do that automatically switches to a profile or another.

Something that is transferable to many situations and practical options. This is just a sample of the potential impact of this technology beyond what has made it more popular, as is the payment. The integration of these chips either in cars, shop windows or in products has great potential.

And not limited to the terminals that have integrated NFC. As soon as both mobile Android iPhone be possible to integrate these chips without coming already implemented in the factory. By housing in the case of the iPhone, and micro SD card in the case of Android, you can enjoy the benefits of a technology that has come to stay. Hand in hand Moneto, these accessories will be available shortly. A great idea to stop spreading this technology. And at a reasonable price, about $ 30 in the case of microSD and $ 80 a case for iPhone.

NFC has a long way to go, but certainly we’re definitely looking forward to land around here and we can prove the potential. And glad to see the commitment of large manufacturers with NFC, but I still believe that there is much to see and develop. What you you think? Do you think an alternative future.

Dipped to Raspberry Pi, but not because they promised, but because before there and selling test units to 2,000 € when its main feature is that it costs $ 25 and was crippling the world of technology.

It is now that we have to celebrate the existence of Raspberry Pi, because finally begins manufacturing.

According to reports themselves, the Raspberry Pi began to manufacture a few days ago. In fact already beginning to be some impatience among people who wanted to start watching this computer manufactured, many began to think would never come, but at least now they can begin to breathe easier.

The Pi Raspberry begin to send as FIFO (first in order it will be the first to receive it), and it is estimated that this will be the end of January. At first reach the B, and later will start buying models A. Recall that the only difference is that the former have 128MB and 256MB of RAM seconds.

The note in which Pi Raspberry has announced that it began to construct their minicomputers spends most of the rest of its length to tell us that their idea was to hire a British manufacturer, but due to problems with taxes, interests and dates of manufacture (2 to 4 weeks versus 12 to 14 weeks) had to take their manufacturing to China and Taiwan. Take a look at what they say, because it is very interesting.

We hope that this project really succeed and we can get a computer like this for only $ 25, the idea is great and the utility both for the educational field, to support third world countries or even our daily lives are endless.

Although this is a collection of rumors, you know we do not like talking, are now very reliable, and have passed the filter of a bombing rumor invading the network that carries several months. Patents, petitions, studies and tests are those that have left so here we will be more likely. Again, this is most likely because Apple has not said a word about it, and we have not wanted to give hype to an Apple event with every little detail that comes out, because we know that these things just so tired then that this is not no big deal.

How do we know to be presented on March 7?

For this is all a rumor, but it seems that the date is already more than determined. We can talk about this study there, but basically the dates AllThingsD, and The Loop rumored iMore have agreed and it seems that is a perfectly eligible date for Apple. Rarely means more betting on the dates of submissions put all agree, so it is very significant.

Not yet sent any official invitation to the event, but you can rest assured that very soon start to appear. That will be the final confirmation of the event date.

Features of the new iPad

One of the largest and most anticipated features is expected to be the most likely to see in the new iPhone, as will be the famous Retina Display, a technology that increases the resolution of the screen and offer 2048 × 1536 pixels for this iPad to be a screen of 9.7 “or 10″. This will increase the image quality and is much better, as from the iPhone 4, but struck him out of the Apple iPad 2.

Regarding the internal hardware is difficult, but all bets are for the chip quad-core Apple A6. Talk about a big development for Apple processor is complicated, since they are not given to them, and base their innovations in user experience rather than pure and simple hardware. That is, no matter how well it works to carry 2, 4 or 6 cores. If it were my bet will be dual-core, but all indications are that the quad-core chip A6 will be the new iPad.

A protocol that has existed for a long time and already at the time revolutionized the way we communicate and share information. As its creator, Bram Cohen, the burden shifts back to present a streaming system under a protocol similar to Bittorrent P2P can be a drastic change in the way people consume entertainment on the Internet. Cohen has made a first demonstration of his new project called Bittorent live. Streaming videos either live or not, high quality and with only seconds of latency.

Bram Cohen wants to kill television and who knows whether he’ll get, but Bittorrent Live looks very, very well. Cohen wants to live Bittorent give the final blow to a medium, television, that slowly seems to be becoming more and more obsolete. And not that it is because, since the rise of the Internet and especially since the launch of social networking has seen the TV ad spending is falling while going up on the internet. That tells us something important. Furthermore, the audience has changed, you know, look and choose what to watch and when you want to see.

Bittorrent live provides the means to make broadcasts of all kinds of events, and free or very cheap. Taking into account the possibilities Bittorrent Live offers totally free, no investment is needed before they can be broadcast to thousands and thousands of people as it does now television. It does so because the content is downloaded from different users who are watching the stream, that is, works as it does now downloading BitTorrent files.

Such is the advantage of services like Netflix or Hulu could benefit from Bittorrent Life, thus lowering costs. This P2P technology might even have to rethink the way they do business to websites like Ustream or Livestream, offering a similar service but is not free.
