Plastic enclosures phones will learn to repair itself

Scientists from the University of Southern Mississippi, funded by U.S. Department of Defense, have developed a new type of plastic That can mimic the behavior of human skin. Development was presented this week at the annual meeting of the International Chemical Company.

This material is made of copolymers of water-based, so in comparison with other types of plastic, it is more environmentally friendly. When data covered by a plastic casing smartphone is damaged, the molecular bonds of the long hydrocarbon chains (bridges) are broken, and around the "wound" is formed by a red spot.

The material itself is trying to return to its original state, placed under the sunlight or other intense light source, or put the change in temperature. Unlike other products with the ability to regenerate a new plastic can repair itself an infinite number of times.

The researchers suggest that the innovative design will find wide application in many industries, but the start of its commercial use is still unknown.

Talking about these technologies, we can think of a proprietary technology from Nissan . Car cover for the group released the iPhone 4/4S, with a special coating that can eliminate the slight scratches on their own.

Paintwork accessory has two layers, the upper of which is very elastic, and the appearance of small scratches are not spoiled, as is the case with ordinary paint, and deformed. Some time later, under pressure from the top of the lower layer takes the old "flat" shape and it seems that a scratch, "dragged" by itself.

Concept iPod Nano Touch with Wi-Fi module and a camera for video calls FaceTime

Apple products are remarkable because they are the clear evidence of what can be achieved in the development of electronic gadgets for the average consumer market. Of course, the iPhone and Mac computers more expensive than the average consumer goods, but it fit the definition of art for the middle class. Unfortunately, the choice of "apple" products is limited, but imagination dictates what can be (and, perhaps, and will be), for example, new models of media players under the brand Apple.

iPod nano first appeared some time ago - in September 2005, during which time several times underwent changes in form factor. And despite the release of new versions, some users want more exotic. Enrico Penell was not averse to see in the near future, iPod nano with specifications that include Wi-Fi module Wi-Fi, FaceTime camera for video calls via the Web, as well as the Weather application, Radio, Alarm Clock and other characteristic of older versions.

Conceptual model of iPod Nano Touch smartphone like the iPhone, but compressed into a few times. On the back side is the usual clip, which allows you to attach the gadget to your belt, a pocket in any other convenient location. At the bottom of the chassis is the traditional home button, it hides the antenna Wi-Fi. On the left side are buttons for volume control, and on top - to turn off the device, similar to the iPhone 4/4S.

Apple has released a set of iconic products, and an iPod certainly occupies a special place. He is in many ways has changed the very notion of what can and should be a music player in the digital age. Pictured here the concept quite successfully beats the iPhone features with the advantages of compact models of iPod.

How fast is HTC X One? One benchmark S vs HTC, Samsung, GS II, Nexus, and Notes (VIDEO)

HTC X One has already begun to flex its muscles with the first benchmark of which we had occupied a few days ago regarding the S4 version with Qualcomm . New tests begin to trace the divide between the version of HTC X One with quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 and other dual-core smartphone which also include team-mate HTC One S. The benchmark results obviously do not always translate into a similar performance boost noticeable in real life of the device, but we must admit that if the premises are those that are going to show you, even in the daily performance of HTC X One might be very convincing and true Top of Range.

Let's start off from a challenge HTC X One plays at home, defying HTC One S , equipped with S4 Platform Qualcomm dual-core architecture. The frequency of each core is substantially similar for the two smartphones (1.5 GHz), but HTC X One has a double number of cores (4 versus 2). An impact on performance is not only the frequency of operation but also the efficiency of the architecture and from this point of view also has HTC S One of the trump cards from the manufacturing process 28nn Qualcomm S4 which makes it very efficient.

Regarding the results of the tests reported below, we clarify that the version of the software used by HTC One D is not yet definitive, the results may therefore be subject to further improvements. For testing we used the well-known benchmark AnTuTu that expresses a single synthetic value the performance of various components of the smartphone (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc). Following are the complete results:

One HTC X:

• Total Score: 10 597
• RAM: 2280
• CPU Integer: 3495
• Float-point CPUs: 2617
• 2D Graphics: 141
• 3D Graphics: 1194
• Database IO: 525
• SD Card Write: (24.1 MB / s) 150
• SD Card Read: (35.2 MB / s) 195
• CPU Frequency: 1500

One HTC S (software version is not final)

• Total Score: 6458
• RAM: 1166
• CPU Integer: 2069
• Float-point CPUs: 968
• 2D Graphics: 296
• 3D Graphics: 1248
• Database IO: 365
• SD Card Write: (24.1 MB / s) 150
• SD Card Read: (35.2 MB / s) 196
• CPU Frequency: 1512 MHz

As you can see, at least with the benchmark used, the performance gap compared to the solution of dual-core Qualcomm is consistent.

A similar scenario superiority recurs when you switch to compare the performance of HTC X One with those of three smartphone Samsung widespread, popular and powerful, or the S Galaxy II, Galaxy and Galaxy Nexus Notes . We propose the following chart with measurements made ​​by Nvidia itself:

Starting from a value of 100 which corresponds to the performance of the Nexus Galaxy, HTC X One would result in an increase in performance ranging from 111% to 186% more depending on the benchmark used. Obviously this comparison test, made by Nvidia, and not by a third entity entirely, or not be refuted by further benchmark the community and we will do when we start to use the copies of HTC X One for the usual tests. At the same time we felt it appropriate to refer you to begin to quantify the benchmark, albeit with some margin of error, which will be the performance boost provided by the solution quad-core Nvidia over existing dual-core.

We were aware that a quad core compared to last generation, to be released next week, with dual core always top range but already on the market. But this is precisely the point, given the criticism that we often face the Integra 3. If our Galaxy Nexus have more than 6000 points benchmark and HTC super X ONE is part of the 10,000 already a remarkable achievement, important, and if we hope for future enhancements directly from nvidia, HTC or community of enthusiasts, we can certainly hope that the product is durable and at the top.

[Rumor Galaxy S3] pre-orders for more than 10 million units and launch price in line with that of the Galaxy S2

Tips: Category Android, how to eliminate the automatic GMail contacts

Many of you surely will have noticed that in your address book Android are unknown names and contacts that only have an email address. The reason is Gmail, or rather the automatic synchronization of address book to Gmail and Android. While perfect synchronization between phone and computer is good, the other Gmail has a default setting that allows you to store your recipients to forward your mail in a box called other contacts .

So if you receive an email from @ xx xx, it is automatically saved in the other contacts  and thus synchronized with your smartphone. If this works for many may be convenient, for others it may extend considerably the phone book with names and email that you may not be useful. To solve the problem simply:

1. Open Gmail, go to Settings panel
2. In the tab " General ", change the option" Create contacts for auto-completion , "choosing" Add contact them myself . "

In this way the contacts are only stored if we want and not automatically upon receipt of an email. At this point to do a "clean", so you can proceed:

1. From the book on-line GMail, delete existing contacts in the group  other contacts
2. Re-synchronize the contacts on the phone to delete them here

At this point you have only the phonebook contacts without real-mails from Gmail automatically saved. Before proceeding with this solution, however, we invite you to check that these particular contacts are important to you.

iPad I got from the first day, and to get it, I even defended the twelve-hour line at the Apple Store. And I was worried, thinking about what you can do with it. I worked in GOGII, and their application textPlus start on the first generation iPad. It was an honor to participate in its development and become a user.

It turned out that all I wanted to do with the iPad, in the end, I did not do. Absolutely. When there was the iPad 2, I thought, 'Oh, wow, finally, he has a camera ... For!'. But it was not bought. And when I came out  a new iPad, I was already quite interesting.

I just moved into a new apartment and had not yet unpacked belongings, including the iPad. It's not because I think if this gadget is not cool, it just does not really my thing. And here's why.

All day at the computer

Since I have a lot of typing every day, my main workhorse - a MacBook Air. It's so wonderful machine that, by and large, I have nothing else. I know all his weaknesses, his strengths and with the addition of several cool features through real estate developer version of the Mountain Lion, I'm doing it for almost everything.

I have the smallest Mac Book Air, he is so easy that I sometimes forget that I am it with you. When you need to do something easier, simply pull it out and start working. I very much hope that in the next update will support Air laptops mobile networks - has the pleasure to use to connect to the Internet party devices.

I do not play games

The only exception - Angry Birds. The "birds" I play to pass the time waiting for a train or plane. And coping with that calm my iPhone and Android. Except for these cases, the function iPad game for me is meaningless. The new iPad - a giant graphic, but it is all useless.

I like paper books

As many as before, I do not read, but when I get to read, it should be a paper book, not the device connected to the Internet. If an electronic device, the temptation is too great multitasking, and, ultimately, I do not read.

The iPad wonderful "book" interface, and I am inclined to think that it is superior to Kindle Amazon, but if I started to read digital books, I'd rather boring "old school» Kindle. The reason is simple - when I read, I want to read and nothing more.

I do not like to watch movies on the small screen

I love to go to the movies, watch movies, talk and write about them. I do not use the application for watching movies and TV shows, I like a lively discussion of films, and I never liked to watch movies on the small screen. Never.

I do not need an "intermediate" car

For many geeks buy iPad reason is that this "intermediate" device. When you feel like "sit" on the phone or the computer, you pick up for a relaxed use iPad. It is possible that in my elderly years I've realized that I needed a break. I really do not need a gadget to fill in the gaps when I did not use a computer or phone. Sometimes I like the lack of "noise."

Do not hate

My fellow geeks were shocked by the fact that I have not left a pre-order the new iPad. I myself was surprised. In the end, I'm a fan of Apple and all their products. But when it comes to the iPad, I can not think that the only function that they can add to make me want to buy it.

Not that I do not like and I totally can understand why him others, as well as my mom. If you do not sit in front of the screen all day long, it's a great way to relax and still be a "computer".

I'm more worried about the future line of "apple" laptops than iPad, though it sounds crazy, because we are in an era of "post-PC", according to Apple. But while I'm working where I work, for me, the iPad will be no more than a toy, not a device, which I really need.

The new Samsung Exynos 5 will support the standard USB 3.0 and potential record-breaking

Although it is certain the arrival of the architecture quad core for the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S3 , According to some sources, the new dual core that will come with the new chipset will offer unprecedented performance. Based on the chipset ARM Cortex A15 and GPU Mali T-604 , the frequency reached by the processor will vary between 1.7 and 2.0 GHz with performance capable of processing more than 14,000 DMIPS.

Also among the information obtained on the new processor as well as potential exceeding a Cortex A9 Quad Core, will be also implemented natively support the standard USB 3.0which will result in the smartphone and tablet passage large amounts of data in much less restricted.

A must also support the LTE connectivity, resolutions up to WQXGA (2560 × 1600) and finally, to close the whole with some rumors, it seems that the tablet Samsung 11.6-inch  star of various rumors and speculation in recent weeks , could be the first device with just this chipset even if it is not said that we can arrive soon.

So much waiting and many irons in the fire for the next month signed Samsung Exynos 5

2560x1600 pixels 2GHz A15 - dual-core Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 appeared

December last year, Samsung officially released the first 2GHz Cortex-A15 - architecture dual-core processor Exynos5250. Followed by the outside world has been reported that Samsung will show a 11.6-inch Android 4.0 Tablet PC used Exynos5250 dual-core processors in MWC2012. But in MWC2012 on, the Samsung did not show this product.

2048 * 1536 pixels, this 11.6-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 will allegedly using high-resolution Super AMOLED HD screen with a resolution up to 2560x1600 pixels, although the resolution is better than Apple's The new the iPad is much higher , but due to the increase in the size of the screen, in fact, the pixel density of the two the same 260ppi. Recently, the product page on Samsung official website Exynos dual-core processors suspected the Galaxy Tab 11.6 dual-core photos of the Tablet PC. Although this product from the appearance point of view like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 N, but the Galaxy the Tab 10.1 N using the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, instead of Samsung's Cortex-A15 the architecture Exynos5 series processors.

There is no doubt that this is a new Samsung flat panel. Also look at the details from the photo, the size of the tablet seems bigger, larger and longer part of the design of the speaker, so this product is likely Samsung will soon launch of the 11.6 inches Exynos5250 dual-core Tablet PC - Samsung the Galaxy Tab 11.6. A 2560x1600 pixel Super AMOLED high-definition screen, 2GHz Cortex-A15 - the architecture Exynos5250 dual-core processor Android 4.0 Tablet PC. This is perhaps a lot of people want the tablet. However, its 11.6-inch size is indeed a little.

Apple is developing a tangible touchscreen for the iPhone and the iPad

Apple integrates next-generation iPhone and iPad tablet new sensor technology that will literally feel the interface elements on the display. This publication reports Cnet, with reference to a patent application filed by the engineers in Cupertino Corporation Office of Patents and trademarks of the United States.

The document describes in detail the implementation of tactile feedback in touch-screens iPhone, iPad and trackpad Mac. This is the placement of piezoelectric actuators near the capacitive sensors, so that users can feel the vibration of only a single point on the screen.

The new technology will allow users to receive i-gadgets small impact when you click on links or icons. The developers of Apple also describe the use of force sensors that can determine how much users click on the display.

In parallel, Apple decides to include feedback for the virtual keyboard buttons iOS-devices. The company planned to solve this problem long before the presentation of tablets iPad. The patent, dated the year 2009, refers to the fact that by "articulating a basis" the surface of the screen to create similar physical keyboard tabs, or point, which  is supposed to use the programmable magnets with alternating polarity and liquid Ferro-magnets that can change shape under the influence of a magnetic field .

If you find the moment of contact of a finger and touch screen, this mechanism moves the liquid Ferro-magnets under the finger, resulting in some of the surface takes a convex shape. When the user is typing, the screen becomes smooth again.

iPhone 5 can get a fully glass enclosure

Apple is developing a new type of housing for smartphones iOS, made entirely of glass. According to the designers from Cupertino, glass body are more comfortable and aesthetically attractive.

Today in the United States Patent and Trademark Office U.S. Apple filed a new application, which describes a portable device with a housing made entirely of glass. According to this document, this shell is made of "a hollow glass tube," or from two pieces of glass bonded together. It is noted that the device is completely sealed.

Among the obvious advantages of such solutions, the glass is completely iPhone will also have a number of shortcomings. For example, despite the fact that this material is quite strong, especially in the case of Gorilla Glass 2 , it can be damaged during the fall. In addition, the phone is a lot of sensors, some of which may not work inside a transparent glass case. However, in his application Apple engineers considered the possibility of this problem, noting that some parts may be opaque.

In the patent application, Apple describes the new development:

"One of the reasons that lead to prefer glass to other materials, is that it is strong, tough, transparent, and transmits radio signals, so it is suitable material for the housing of an electronic device designed for wireless communication.

Glass shell will also provide a portable gadget unique, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Seamless casing provides additional benefits in the form of fewer places for dirt and moisture. "

Such housing can equip the next generation iPhone. In this version of the iPhone 4 and 4S is not so far from this concept - their body is composed of two glass panels and steel frames.

Case for iPhone-style 2.5-inch hard drive

I have the feeling that the producers of covers for the iPhone just a conspiracy. I think at some point they decided to make fun of iGadget gullible users. Remember the only case in the form of circles , a case with the 4G modem and  built with a fork or a very extreme - in the form of a huge beetle , and  delicious eggs . Some of these innovations may seem fun, but most of them are absolutely useless. However, to solve all the same to you.

The next bizarre case for the iPhone 4 will provide you any company geeks. The plastic protective cover for the back of the smartphone from Apple made in the style of computer hard disk drive and includes a sample label manufacturer, forged bolts, and even power connectors and SATA.

Of course, the appearance is nothing more than a label, but the case does provide additional protection against damage. At the same time the design is exactly the same appearance of 2.5-inch hard drive, forgery issue only a small hole for the camera.

The result of this new clothes might be twofold. If you meet the same Nerd like you, it certainly appreciate your finding. Well, ordinary people are likely to think that with your "iPhone" fell off the back cover.

If you want to buy yourself a bag, then this would be difficult. The British company Thumbs-Up World does not sell them online. Find these things can be in retail stores, at least in the UK.
