Huawei to launch LTE phone and tablet in Q4

Huawei is planning to launch a couple of LTE based smartphones and a tablet in India by December 2012. The brand is trying to become the third largest manufacturer in the country. It is in plans to launch smartphones such as Ascend D LTE and Ascend P1 LTE and a tablet dubbed Mediapad 10 LTE.

A top executive of Huawei India told that they are planning to launch smartphones and tablets with LTE support in India by the end of this year. The plan will depend on the 4G operators. Huawei already has LTE smartphones like Ascend P1 LTE and Ascend D LTE. It also has a LTE tablet named Mediapad 10 LTE. By the year end, these will have a version supporting TD LTE that is the network rolled out in India.

As of now, India has TD LTE network in cities like Kolkata and Bangalore. Airtel is offering these networks and it will roll out the networks in Chandigarh, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai within this year.

The Ascend D LTE and Mediapad 10 LTE are based on quad core processors. Ascend P1 LTE will have a dual core processor and will be slightly cheaper. The price in India of these devices are not announced as they depend on the operators.

Solar flares are disrupting Earth's magnetosphere
The Sun reaches its solar maximum this year - the period of greatest activity in its 11-year solar cycle. Because of the unusually low level of activity in recent years, this has caused a sudden build up of energy now, with large "solar storms" hitting Earth's magnetosphere. These are strong enough to disrupt electronic systems on the ground. Satellites, air travel, car navigations, the banking system, hospital equipment, computers and many other machines are affected during this period.

3D technologies are widespread
3D technology is now widespread across a range of communication and entertainment platforms. It has become a mainstream element of cinema, TV, Internet, video games and even mobile. This technology provides users with a whole new level of immersion, interaction and realism.

James Cameron's Avatar, released in 2009, was a major breakthrough in terms of developing this format and raising awareness of its potential.

In 2010, new 3D TV channels were introduced and these could even be viewed without 3D glasses.* This effect was achieved via multiple projectors behind the screen, combined with a lens array creating parallax effects from any direction. Among the TV events during this time was the first ever FIFA World Cup to be screened in 3D.

Compatibility was soon incorporated into a range of consumer products including Blu-ray recorders, games consoles and personal computers. By 2013, the technology has become widespread in homes in developed countries.*

Launch of the PS4 and Xbox 720
2012 saw the launch of Nintendo's Wii U - the first of the eighth generation games consoles.* By late 2013, it is joined by the PS4 and Xbox 720. These new machines offer substantial improvements in graphical power. The PS4, codenamed "Orbis", is built around an AMD x64 CPU and AMD Southern Islands GPU, handling screen resolutions of up to 4000 x 2000 pixels, as well as 3D gaming in full 1080p.* The Xbox 720, codenamed "Durango", is powered by a state-of-the-art IBM Power PC CPU, featuring 16 cores, alongside a Radeon HD 7000-series graphics card.*

Upcoming Microsoft Tablet

Besides the rumor that Microsoft will purchase agonizing Nokia, another one has appeared today. According to thewrap.com and chicagotribune.com, Microsoft is determined to launch a hot tablet, direct rival to iPad, obviously. Microsoft issued a media invitation to a super-secret event today in Los Angeles, which actually fuelled the rumor. Although the tech giant didn't give any hints about what it's going to happen. Thewrap.com is positive that Bill Gates' company plans to introduce a Microsoft-branded tablet at the event, challenging Apple's iPad selling like hot cakes lately. There's been talk of a Microsoft tablet for years, but nothing has surfaced.

[Rumor] Upcoming Microsoft Tablet 

According to Chicagotribune.com, the Microsoft tablet will run on Windows RT, a version of Windows 8, using an ARM microprocessor. Microsoft's Monday event begins at 3:30 p.m., I'm quite curious to see whether the rumor will turn to be true in the end. The fabulous Microsoft tablet is thought to be unveiled next week, if it will be well received by customers. It's easy to understand why Microsoft keeps it secret until the last moment, this tablet will mark its entry into rival Apple’s territory with its own branded product, if it turns to be a fiasco, Bill Gates needs to come up with a satisfactory compromise for customers and public opinion.

After Xbox success, the mysterious tablet might open a new path for creating a profitable market, but I'm quite skeptical about it. The tablet area is so crowded that even Zuckerberg promising free tablets for exclusive Facebook use won't change things. Apple installed a strong hegemony, followed by Samsung and a suite of reliable brands as Asus, Toshiba, Acer, Dell or mobile operators as Orange, so there seems not to be any place left for Microsoft, but who knows maybe Bill Gates prepared a marvel for us.   

weather hub forecasts upcoming conditions

This stylish weather gadget from Oregon Scientific provides weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours.

These compact Weather Hubs (6.6″ x 3.1″ x 0.8″) can be easily mounted on a wall, on a desktop using a built-in kickstand, or even on a refrigerator thanks to an included magnetic mount. The unique design features two LCDs: on one side, it shows icons for the upcoming weather conditions (sunny, partially cloudy, cloudy, rainy); on the other side, the current indoor temperature in C° or F°.

Weather Hubs retail for $19.99 (but can be found for quite a bit less on eBay.) They comes in four colors: white, red, black and blue to suit your individual taste.

directv goes portable 

directv goes portable

Satellite provider DirecTV has revealed a design for a portable satellite receiver/tv combo, known as the SAT-GO.

Little is yet known about the product and whether it is simply a prototype or a product that will hit the market soon. The SAT-GO will be featured at the upcoming CES show in January, and has already been named a recipient of a CES 2007 Innovation Award. Check back for more details as they become available.

Future Car: Eco-Friendly Porsche 918 Spyder

Most people wouldn’t expect a car that can go from 0-60 in under 3.2 seconds to be eco-friendly in the least, but the Porsche automakers beg to differ. This future car concept, the 918 Spyder, is supposed to be one of the fastest (if not the fastest) hybrid electric car on the market. This one-of-a-kind ride can teach tops speeds of 200 mph and gets a whopping 78 miles per gallon – double the amount most compact cars achieve on a good day.

This speed demon is charged by a 3.4 liter V8 engine which comes equipped with a lithium ion battery pack that can be charged from almost anywhere, not to mention whenever you hit the brakes as well.  No word yet on the pricing but you can safely assume it will be in the 6 digit field (estimates have been set near the $500,000 mark), and is not expected to be listed for sale on the market for at least another year, probably closer to 2012 or 2013. The bad news is that you probably never will own one of these babies, or anything close to it, but the good news is that future cars will benefit from these technological break-throughs and the overall quality of regular day-to-day cars will be enhanced. Way to go Porsche!

Future Gaming Technology: Project Nata

l

Microsoft has recently announced an impressive addition to their popular X-Box video game system which will replace the standard controllers. Project Natal, as they call it, is the future gaming technology we have been waiting for and has built in motion sensors that allows users to act out their moves  instead of having to press buttons. So if you are playing a fighting game (such as Street Fighter) you will actually have to do some physical kicks and punches in order to defeat your opponent. Project Natal is like a Nintendo Wii 2.0 – instead of having to swing around your controller you can just use your body, and no more worrying about cracking your new plasma TV. This new technology is also supposed to be equipped with voice and facial recognition software, which I’m assuming is used to distinguish between two players and keep track of player profiles.

Nintendo had better be prepared to answer back when Microsoft releases this future technology, or any hope for more Wii sales will be obliterated (assuming Project Natal turns out to be accurate and practical). The new gaming device is projected to be released near the end of 2010, just in time for the holidays, and has been speculated to cost somewhere around $100. There have also been somerumors going around as to whether 1 or 2 people will be able to use the gaming sensors simultaneously, but most signs point to 2 players. Exciting times for us video gamers!

Future Technology: Personal Flying Suit

For the past couple of years the world’s top space program NASA has been working on a future design for the very first personal flying suit. The puffin, as they call it, measures to be approximately 12 feet in length with a 15 foot wingspan. The aircraft module would land vertically, allowing for a person to step directly into it and has blades similar to that of helicopters. The puffin concept would relatively light weight and would use electric motors, allowing for high altitudes as well as being eco-friendly.

Now to another note: is the Puffin concept practical for consumer use? Highly unlikely, or at least not for a long time. First of all, this type of flying suit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, so not many people would ever get to use one, as least for quite some time. Secondly, if this flying suit were to take the place of automobiles, modern travel would be extremely chaotic and the number of fatalities would drastically increase. Any type of mechanical failure or collision with another flying suit would be devastating and regulating travel would be nearly impossible. Yes, the idea is magnificent and I think most of us would like to have an experience like this someday, so hopefully this type of future technology will be able to advance, thanks to NASA.

FUTURE GADGET:NOOK EBOOK READER

 

Bookstore giant Barnes & Noble just announced today the release of their future eBook reader known as the Nook, and they are already taking orders. Priced competitively at $259, the Nook costs pretty much the same as the once popular Kindle, but offers a whole lot more. Check out some of the coolest specs the Nook has to offer:

• Color Touch Screen – Unlike the other eBooks which are pure black and white
• Screen Display – No glare or backlight with adjustable text size
• Share Books – You can share books you have purchased with your friends and family for free
• Huge Selection – There are over 1,000,000 available books (twice as many as the Kindle)
• Wi-fi Capable – Connect to the internet with local hotspots
• Media Slot – Supports Micro SD cards for extra storage space of up to 17,500 books
• 3G Network – Offered by AT&T so you can buy books from almost anywhere
• Customization – You can get custom covers with different colors as well as upload photos
• Free books – There are over 1,000 free books offered to Nook buyers
• Hands-on Demos – You can test out the Nook before buying at any of the Barnes & Noble stores

Barnes and Noble has chosen a very strategized release date, which comes right before the heavy holiday shopping. For those of you who have held off on buying a Kindle, your patience has just paid off. The Nook will make the perfect holiday gift to those who love to read and travel quite frequently. Additionally, you may find consumer product reviews of eReaders on the Consupo website.

FUTURE ELECTRIC CAR:NISSAN LEAF

Nissan has joined the race to create and sell the first practical electric car, and they plan to do it come 2010 -  approximately 1 year from now. The Nissan Leaf, as they call it, is expected to achieve up to 100 miles per battery charge with a top speed of 75 mph. The leaf is a pure electric car that runs on lithium-ion batteries and can hold up to 5 passengers. This battery is estimated to fully recharge within 8-16 hours, depending on the wattage of the outlet.

The target economies for this new future electric car are the United States, Europe, and Japan. The starting price for this innovative sedan will be somewhere between $25-30,000, a price that is much less than its prestige rival, the Tesla Model S which costs $58,000 and debuts in 2012.  Hopefully these new electric cars pave way for making future cars less expensive and less oil-dependent.

FUTURE PLAYSTATION III:REDESINGED AND SLIMMER

Rumor has it that Sony has designed a newer, slimmer play station 3 in hopes of boosting console sales. No one really knows if there will be any additional modifications to the system and most believe that just the design will be different. The previous version, Play Station II, has outsold the newer one by a couple hundred thousand, and Sony hopes to change that, hence the need for a new design.

Some of the reasons for this speculation are that countries have been noticing significant price drops in the PS3 consoles (perhaps in hopes of clearing out inventory and making way for the new ones) and there have also been a few leaked pictures of the device, as you can see here. Some believe it will be released within the next couple of months, just in time for the holidays.

FUTURE COMPUTERS:NO MOUSE AND KEYBOARDS?

Remember in the movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise is using some state-of-the-art computer where he controlled pretty much everything just by moving his hands? Well, according to Microsoft’s head guru, Bill Gates, this technology has been in the works for quite some time and  in as little as 1 year from now such technology could be released.

How this technology would work is by using built-in motion sensors on TVs and computer screens that would mimic human movements and integrate them into the system. This could mean that the function of a mouse and keyboard may be rendered obsolete in the near future, although, I doubt most people will be able to afford such future technology for quite some time. The nice thing about these  future gadgets (besides being exciting) is that technology continues to improve and 2nd generation stuff will become even more affordable.

FUTURE CELLPHONES:SELF CHARGING WITHOUT CORDS

Apparently Nokia has a cool and unique phone in the works that will be able to charge itself without any wires. The phone accomplishes this by harvesting radio waves found in the air and coverts that energy into power for the phone. Such waves are derived from a number of different places, including TVs, radios, computers, and other mobile phones.

Since this phone is still in the development process, it is currently only capable of havesting 5 mw (milliwatts) at a time, which is just not enough to make the phone efficient. Nokia hopes to increase that number to 20 mw in the near future, making it more practicable to the typical cell phone user. While this type of phone does not have any kind of scheduled release date, the hope is that it will be ready within the next 3-4 years.

FUTURE TV:CUVERD MONITERS

This is a 43 inch curved LCD, manufactured by the company NEC. Equipped with a resolution of 2880 x 900, refresh rate of 0.02 ms, 10,000:1 contrast ration, USB & HDMI ports, and a whopping price tag of $8,000, many people believe that the future of TV’s are headed this way.

This LCD is created by basically ‘sewing’ together 4 smaller LCD’s and making them into one bigger one, which allows for its unique curve. Rival company Alienware has developed their own version as well with equal specs, only theirs measures 5 inches longer. This TV/monitor was originally designed for use by businesses and people who sought giant monitors for their computers. The official release date for this state-of-the-art curved TV is set for mid July, 2009.

For some reason I don’t think very many of these TVs will sell with a price tag of $8,000 – especially during these tough economical times. At least it should help lower costs of regular LCDs and plasmas and will eventually fall in price as time passes.

FUTURE SUNGLASSES: BUILTIN MP3 PLAYER

Having been an Oakley fan all of my life, I never foresaw these kind of shades coming, made with a built-in MP3 player. There are several models and styles to choose from and the storage capacity seems to range from 1/2 GB to 2 GB. As you can see in the photo, there are buttons on the sides of the shades which allow for the controls. Also on the side of the glasses is where the headphones would connect, so no more need for that annoying cord that always ends up in tangles.

I was going to suggest that they make a pair that was blue-tooth capable, but they are already ahead of the game and make such a pair. I know what I want for my birthday this year.

Citizen's Memory LCD

Citizen Japan has unveiled a new LCD technology -- called "memory liquid crystal" -- 

that retains the image even when turned off. Basically, its inorganic membrane and 

angled orientation keep the crystals frozen without needing power. Practical applications 

would include watches and mobile phone displays

Transparent Toaster

This innovative "Transparent Toaster" concept uses special heating glass to warm a 


single slice of bread. Unfortunately, the glass does not reach a high enough temperature -


- at this time -- to actually toast the bread. No word yet on if this concept will go into 


production.

Self Cooling Beer Can

Tempra Technology and Crown Holdings have partnered to develop the world's first self 


cooling beer can. It looks like a normal 500ml can, but features an integrated self-cooling 


device that reduces the "contents by a minimum of 30° Fahrenheit (16.7° C) in just three 


minutes."

CD Player Shoe

This concept CD Player is quite a different and amazing gadget. It is a running shoe with built in CD player, speakers and controls. There are many flaws in it though like the CD may skip when you move fast a bit but still as a concept thing it is a great thing and can be a sure shot style statement for the youngsters. The launch date and price is still a mystery, stay tuned!

The Benq-Siemens Snaked

The Finger-Touching Phone Concept

You don’t touch with your finger rather touch your finger in this unique wearable Finger-Touching phone concept, designed by Sunman Kwon. Compatible with 3.5G, 4G communication standard, the phone allows easy communication and enhances online chatting experience. The phone uses it uses the 12 instinctive “finger joints” for easy and simple controls.

Concept Wireless lens for iPhone!

This concept camera keeps all that sexy DSLR glass, and then makes the rest of the camera into something that’s iPhone-sized and detachable, even while you’re taking pics. The basic idea behind the WVIL concept is that you can take any lens that you already have (Canon, Nikon, anything) and screw a little cap onto the back which contains a 31 megapixel full-frame sensor and a wireless module. 

   

Gadgets of the Future: Black Hole Cell Phone Designed for 2020

Technology is developing at an enormous speed and you never know what's next to come, say, for example, in 2020. But there are people who can visualize what the future would look like and what devices we might get soon.

One of those who like to contemplate about the future of technology isFrench designer Josselin Zaigouchewho decided to design this incredible gadget, dubbed Apple Black Hole(and it's not because it will such Apple down if it hits the market). The name was probably inspired by the numerous applications one can find in Apple's device (such as iPhone and iPad).

The futuristic device uses holographic technology to help the user navigate through a myriad of programs. The device comes with a charging base, Prism and the Black Hole. 

Here's a short tutorial on the gadget: after opening your hand, the ball in the middle of the device starts levitating, allowing you to control different applications in mid-air. If you attach the gadget to the recharging base it automatically turns into a desktop device, which is really cool. Let's hope such technology will be available in the near future and hopefully it will be eco-friendly as well.

F1 Carbon GMT Watch

Albert Einstein once said “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Tell that to designer John Pszeniczny, he thinks time could use a turbo boost and has designed the fastest watch on Earthdubbed “F1/Carbon GMT”. Inspired by the F1 race car world and constructed of carbon fiber, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal, this timepiece has 18 identical rubies and tells the time in everyone of the 18 cities on the 2008 F1 circuit. With a built in lap timer function and a stopwatch, time will seem to stand still as it races by at relative speed…which is 42




Optimus Tactus Keyboard – a tough surface keyboard 


similar to iPod Touch

After the success of iphone touch technology, future keyboard may have similar interface. The lack of haptic feedback in this design is a challange.

This is the most anticiapted model of Audi and probably the most stylish in the history of car manufacturing.

Nokia to show future mobile green technologies

New materials with nanotechnology will bring mobile devices on new level. That is what Nokia want to show with its concepts of gadgets. These gadgets can be used as cell phone, keyboard, TV etc.

Nokia and University of Cambridge researchers have developed an animated video describing how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing users to transform their device into radically different shapes.

SENSE – Touch of Reality

SENSE is an innovative wireless device concept that 

enables users to get a close and more intuitive approach

 with their preferred sites, games and movies by creating a

 sensitive and powerful connection between the system and theusers . By featuring a tact sensitive screen, this device creates a tactile experience of thermal, physical and haptical 

properties of a product on the computer 

screen.

The users have to insert their hand in the SENSE sheath to perceive different object properties like pressure, softness, roughness, hardness and many others, which is transferred to the user’s brain by featuring quite a few numbers of nerve receptors inside the device. Moreover, it features a magnification system to allowusers to sense even a particular area of a product pointing on the screen. To taste a recipe before being cooked, the device features a flavor-ink micro-printer that generates stimulated flavors via the combination of its 5 basic wax cartridges.

   

The Sunshine of informative on my Wall!

The usual task of a wall clock is to indicate time and at the least, look pretty. What if we were to add laser beams, touchpad UI, WiFi, bluetooth and computer syncing? Now wouldn’t that be a rocking concept! The proposed Sundial is all of the aforementioned;  a cool device on the wall that will beam you the weather, your appointments for the day, stock markets and whatever else  you please! 

Eco future gadget

Hello, if you are friends of eco solutions you might like this lamp. I'm sure that lot of visitors of this blog are people who likes Star Trek. I'm really big fan of Star Trek so when I first saw this cube I thought it is some piece of Borg technology. At least on this picture it really looks like some Borg mini cube, don't you think? Well, it is not alien technology, it is in fact very nice lamp for your room. It is called Sy-Box and it is created from old PC parts, I would say it looks like it is created from old motherboards. Well, when it it is turned off it does not look too amazing, when the light is on, it is absolutely beautiful, don't you think? Unfortunately I do not know where you can buy this future gadget.

Musipen, The Future MP3 Player

Most of us are suckers for gadgets that don’t exist. There’s something about that word concept that triggers our excitement. Take this Musipen MP3 player, it’s fresh out of the design room with an all round glowing screen, twisty-knob controls, and a beautiful power button. Designed by Chris Williams, this gadget is exceptionally innovative, freeing us from the limitations of today’s boring imitations and unoriginality. “Not only does the cylindrical form of the Musipen allow an increased screen space, but consequently the controls are very simple. Twisting and sliding each edge of the player navigates through menus and adjusts volume. The imaginative design would certainly provide a welcome change to the MP3 player industry.” More pics after the jump, including that of a cute bird wearing the Musipen.
