Netbook Samsung N150 with 4G support

Samsung has demonstrated a 10-inch netbook with built-LTE (in the range of 2.6 GHz). While global vendors exhibited at Mobile World Congress only to modems supporting LTE (Long Term Evolution), the company Samsung has worked ahead and presented the audience a surprise in the form Netbook N150. This is the world's first device to connect to vozzhnostyu LTE-networks.

Chipset LTE-modem on behalf Kalmia company Samsung has made herself. And then the Koreans apparently have decided to use their own design in his own product. It appeared netbook to work in new generation networks.

As is known, LTE offers data rates up to 100 Mbps. And because the screen netbook Samsung N150, you can view streaming video, regardless of the location of the owner.

MSI meets with Asus laptops for gamers

MSI meets today to Asus which has launched the ROG G73, announcing to turn laptops for gamers. These new computers are playing for them available in two sizes and available in a configuration of smaller base, we can decorate many options.

The MSI GX640 and GX740 revolve around well screens respectively 15.4 and 17 inches. They both display a definition of 1680 × 1050 pixels, requires less resources than the Full HD definition of their rival.

They contain up to an Intel Core i7-720QM, a quad-heart with 6 MB cache posting a base frequency of 1.6 GHz and a frequency of 2.8 GHz Turbo. This is supported by up to 8 GB of DDR3 RAM to 1 066 MHz. Storage is provided by a hard disk up to 640GB, the establishment of a two-disk RAID is not the program.

The MSI GX640 loads a dedicated graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 while the GX740 is entitled to a 5870, both equipped with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory. The numbering of mobile chips from ATI can be confusing because of the Mobility Radeon 5800 series are in fact equivalent to the Radeon 5700 series desktop, whose performance is nevertheless very honorable.

Both laptops have a 9-cell battery, for weights of respectively 2.7 and 3.2 kilograms. They are more mobile than the imposing fighter competitor. They are also more affordable in their base configurations, respectively 1 050 and 1 100 euros, we do not know their prices to equivalent configurations. They are finally on sale next month.

iPhone: the unreliability of sensors immersion proved

The controversy swells on immersion sensors which are now riddled with Apple products, beginning with the iPhone. If it is legitimate that the warranty does not support products that have taken the water, these pellets to determine if a product has been immersed manifest themselves often wrong. Many customers report that Apple has actually refused to take responsibility for their products then they would never take water.

A memo from Apple says that patch can be triggered without being exposed to a liquid, and the technicians of maintenance centers must charge customers repair components under investigation. However, the technical documentation of the manufacturer of these sensors immersion is less formal and indicate on it that they can react when certain conditions of temperature and humidity are combined.

The Cupertino company is so far remained deaf to the solicitations, a Polish website has an iPhone to the test to determine if these chips could be activated through a consistent use. The technical specifications of the iPhone suggests it tolerates an operating temperature of 0 to 35 ° C, storage temperature -20 to 45 ° C and a humidity of 5 to 95% noncondensing.

Exposed initially to a moisture content of 90%, close to the limit, the pellets first iPhone did not react.

The laboratory then simulated several scenarios of everyday life. He presented a second iPhone off to average conditions of a living room, a temperature of 23 ° C and a humidity of 35%, then exposed for one hour at a negative temperature of -10 ° C . He repeated the process several times, for example by reproducing the path of an iPhone nine between a warehouse and the home of a user through a shop, or that of a flawed model between the home of a client and a maintenance center.

Symbian 3.0: HD 1080p, 4G and hardware acceleration

The Symbian Foundation presents the technical characteristics of its next mobile operating system open source. Dubbed Symbian ^ 3 (S ^ 3), the platform looks to the future with the support of the latest mobile technologies.

Thus we find an HDMI output allowing users to connect their phone to the TV to broadcast a movie in high definition (1080p). Symbian has also reviewed the graphics architecture capable of supporting hardware acceleration directly at the interface. With OpenGL ES applications, especially games, should be more fluid without slowing the system. Another significant, intelligent management of bandwidth based applications to connect to the mobile network.

This allows for example to make a priority application of voice over IP or streaming television. In addition to a kiosk to download music, also include improved memory management and multitasking so when several applications are executed simultaneously. Finally widgets are appearing on the home screen. Like the system WebOS Palm Pre, they are based on standard web technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

It remains to find the terminals will benefit from this new OS (Lumigon it seems interesting) and how the Symbian 3.0 will be placed facing Meego announced this week by Nokia in partnership with Intel
