Now, gen-next transparent cellphone

In a revolutionary development, a Taiwanese company claims to have developed a gen-next transparent mobile phone which it says will be in the market by the year end.
The company, Polytron Technologies, has already begun marketing a transparent multi-touch phone. Its prototype uses a 'Switchable Glass' technology. 

When the phone is in off mode, the molecules align to form a milky composition, but when switched on they re-align to form text, icons, and other images.
Electric current is carried through transparent wires. "It will happen near the end of 2013. Trust me," said Polytron general manager Sam Yu. The device still contains some parts that are not tran parent, including a SD card and SIM card. The microphone, camera, and batteries are also visible, and will be hidden behind a dark glass cover when the model goes into production. 

The company, according to Yu, will develop a smaller lithium ion battery that would be much less noticeable. When complete, the phone will have a dual-sided multi-touch display in front and back. The prototype phone has yet to feature any software or operating system, the report said. 

HTC 8S smartphone

It is difficult to find a good smartphone at a price below Rs 20,000. In the high-end segment, there are devices like Galaxy S III, HTC One X+ and iPhone.So Dont Worry...

HTC 8S is a very good device at its price(below 20,000) and is a worthy choice over many Android phones that dot the market. But it is not without its compromises.

Bright colours, good design, fast performance
Just like the 8X, the flagship Windows phone from HTC, the 8S has a smart and colourful personality. The design language is also similar. The 8S too has tapered edges, albeit a bit thicker compared to those on the more expensive phone. Interestingly, this gives the 8S a more balanced design and makes it a better fit in the hand.  

Good phone for the price
If you are out in the market hunting for a smartphone for less than Rs 20,000 HTC 8S should be on your shortlist. But before you pick it make sure that you do not mind what it lacks. Apps are not as plentiful as what Android phones have, experience with Google services is poor and if you are a heavy Twitter users, this is not the device for you. Similarly, you cannot make video calls with it.

But if these limitations are not a deal-breaker for you, 8S is a good choice. It is not in the league of expensive Android phones or iPhone but it doesn't have to be. At a price of Rs 19,260 it is a solid device that is better than similarly-priced Android phones because of its fast performance, very good screen and a great design.

 

HP set to enter the Android tablet market

HP is reportedly in talks to enter the Android tablet market with a host of new devices.
ReadWrite claims that the world's second largest PC maker in considering a move into the Android tablet market after holding talks with Nvidia, with the possibility of using the firm's upcoming Tegra 4 processor in a high-end device.
Nvidia's Tegra 4 is one of the first quad-core processors, which is based on ARM's Cortex-A15 design.
A potential Android tablet from HP using the chip would make the device one of the fastest on the market.

The move would signify a move away from Microsoft, with the firm already offering a number of Windows 8 based tablets, including the ElitePad900 and the Envy x2.

HP has previously struggled in the tablet market, with the manufacturer's TouchPad failing to generate strong sales.
ReadWrite's report also hints that the firm in weighing up a move into the Android smartphone market too.

Firefox OS Developer Preview Phone

Today at the CES show ZTE has announced that they will be working with Mozilla to provide a brand new operating system and smartphone based on the Mozilla Firefox browser. The OS will be for smartphones, the first of which the companies will be hoping to launch in 2013 towards the end of the year.
The first two official Firefox phones are here, but odds are you’ll never get your hands on one. They’re for developers only.

-On Tuesday, Mozilla and Spanish phonemaker Geeksphone announced the first two Firefox OS developer preview handsets — the Keon and the Peak. Both models, which will be sold only to developers, fall in line with what Mozilla says the Firefox OS is being built for — low-power, low-cost hardware for first-time smartphone buyers in emerging markets. These aren’t built to be iPhone, or even Nokia Windows Phone, rivals.

-The Keon, which was shown off with a bright orange chassis, is powered by Qualcomm’s 1Ghz Snapdragon S1 processor — a chipset that made its debut in 2008. It also features 512MB of RAM and 4GB of included storage, though there is a microSD card slot for expanded storage. The handset, which has a 3.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480?320 pixels, will run on 2G and 3G networks. There’s also a 3-megapixel rear camera but no front-facing camera.

-The Peak is a bit more up market, with a 4.3-inch 960x540 pixel display, Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon S4 processor, 3G and 2G connectivity, an 8-megapixel camera out back and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It’s got the same paltry 4GB of storage, with a microSD card slot, and RAM is stuck at 512MB.

Dropbox releases sync API for iOS and Android

Dropbox today announced a new synchronization API for iOS and Android-powered devices that it said will offer developers a new code library to help them better focus on creating mobile apps. The new API is available today on  DrpoBox Developer Site.

The API takes care of all the complexity around caching, syncing, and working offline so that apps just work allowing developers to focus on creating the best mobile apps, according to Dropbox. 

The new "built-in" feature is a synchronization API that allows an application to work with Dropbox as if it were a local file system on the mobile device. It enables developers to incorporate one of Dropbox's most popular features - syncing -- into their apps, and takes care of caching. The feature makes it easier for developers to deliver a seamless user experience across different devices and platforms, Dropbox said.
