Leyio devices to share


These small devices are used to easily share any type of content and harnessing the power of the standard Ultra Wide Band (UWB) wireless communications. With a speed of 10 Mb / s and a range of about 5 meters functions as a place for users that have a USB storage system or a computer nearby.

To exchange content will be synchronized with the Leyio who want to share, then positioned on the content sharing and waving Leyio (as if it were to launch the Leyio to another device). It has a 16GB flash memory and an ARM processor with 320 MHz Freescale also has a USB port.


Has a compact design with a display of icons and text that is somewhat controlled with a sensor located below the touch screen. This sensor also serves as the authentication mechanism (for entry to the options of the device must be previously introduced by the fingerprint sensor that makes the scanner function and then being recognized).

The price is quite high 179 euros.

New and innovative chips Grafeno


A research team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Tomas Palacios at the top are using grafeno (a form of pure carbon), a relatively new material, to manufacture electronic circuits but with smaller velocities of the order of 1000 GHz

Regarded as the world's strongest material, has qualities to be used in the manufacture of chips replace silicon in this manner. Palacios team has also used this material for electronic devices such as a frequency multiplier.

The prototype of "Transistor grafeno" was presented at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society and is said to not only revolutionize the electronics, but also information and communication technology, so that in future mobile phones, computers, sensors and other electronic equipment that would be material.

Camera is faster and more accurate


A team comprised of engineers from the University of UCLA (California) made the camera faster and more accurate history, which uses technology called STEAM (Serial Encoded Amplified Microscopy). The number of pictures you can take is 6.1 million frames per second with a shutter speed of 1 / 440 trillion seconds.

Camera is known as STEAM illuminates the object with an infrared laser that emits different wavelengths for each pixel captured. The camera sensor electronically amplifies the original signal and produces an equivalent length until the image is visible. Amplified because the images pixel by pixel can capture microscopic images as well as ultrafast events which makes it useful in medical and biological research.

The camera does not need light to high density is not heated and does not make any noise. Gouda explained that the camera produces images of 3000 pixels and it is hoped that in future they can take pictures of many more megapixels.

Flip Ultra HD and SD: compact camcorders


Officially, the Flip Ultra HD and SD will be released. After the information leaked in some Pure confirm some details and the launch of the camcorders. They offer an affordable, compact design and image quality.

The Flip Ultra HD with a 2-inch screen with a resolution of 720p, 8GB internal memory, a rechargeable battery with battery support, autonomy of 3 hours and HDMI output. With only a 2x digital zoom, comes with software that will allow us to edit our videos and also upload files to YouTube or MySpace. Bring a USB port for connection to the computer. Pure as the price for this camera is for $ 200.

The Flip Ultra SD with a 2-inch screen has an internal memory of 4 GB, recording quality and standard that has TV output is NTSC standard, has a USB port, like the Flip Ultra comes with support for HD batteries and an autonomy of 5 hours. The price is $ 150.

Mobile screens Capacitive


Increasingly, manufacturers of mobile phones that combine the idea of manufacturing mobile capacitive screens, a clear example is that Samsung already has mobile capacitive touch screens or the LG KF750 Secret also has this type of display.

The manufacturer who would be ready to join Nokia since according to information managed by some sources that placed an order for two million of these types of screens. According to Taiwanese newspaper DigiTimes Nokia to be launched mid this year a similar model to 5800 XpressMusic but has a capacitive touchscreen.


Will the future of all phones come with a capacitive screen? It is difficult to answer because it is not a simple change although we assume that most manufacturers assume this challenge. Capacitive screens now have a number of drawbacks, one of them is precisely because there are interfaces that have very small icons that clearly are easier to select with a pointer to the finger, on the other capacitive screens are more intuitive to use, no need to pressure and give an impression of speed.

Thus, due to the graphical interface used by many mobile manufacturers do not make this change. For now we will have to wait for improvement of the graphical interfaces of mobile phones that take this type of screen that is to create screens multitáctiles.

The new BD Touch Version 2.0 is available for other platforms


Blufocus and NetBlender have announced an updated version of BD Touch iPhone Application, BD Touch The new version 2.0 will be available not only for the iPhone and iPodTouch but it is also for other devices like the BlackBerry and phones based on Android.

Recalling a little BD Touch is an application that allows connection of Blu-ray with the iPhone so that it becomes possible to control the reproduction and other functions.

The BD Touch application provides all the basic functions of a remote control. It also offers a QWERTY keyboard for text entry and the ability to copy the disk to the terminal, can support the simultaneous connection of other devices which would create multiplayer games.

The connection between the phone and the player is through a wireless network so the player must support BD-Live, have Wi-Fi and include the functions of BD Touch and have installed.

Blufocus and NetBlender ensures that this updated version should be available from next weekend.

Philips stops production of its 3D screens


Given the high expectations caused in October last year, when the world famous brand Philips surprised us with the surprising results of the WOWvx technology, which allows viewing of 3D images by generating a sense of depth without the need for special lenses (this is achieved through a lens system located in each pixel of the screen) now comes bad news.

Unfortunately Philips stops production technology WOWvx and close its development division of 3D among the reasons why Philips took this decision are: the current global economic crisis is affecting even the largest companies and corporations, plus the distance from solutions for the average consumer.

Can only wait for the introduction of 3D glasses with the idea that this return is more widespread new technology.
