HP: TouchPad with WebOS

HP has decided to show us more of what you can make their new TouchPad Tablet, which runs the operating system WebOS. This new device will come to the U.S. on July 1st, so HP released a video showing some of "delices" under WebOS 3.0.

Stress their orderly reporting system, the ability to perform multiple tasks with a card-based method to switch between applications that are running. Remember that its specifications are:

Sony: PSP Vita

PlayStation Vita has undoubtedly been one of the highlights of E3, though they gave us the opportunity to meet it months ago as Sony NGP. A brief summary, we could say that this is a device with 5-inch OLED display, large but lightweight, 4-core processor, with all the buttons /triggers / sticks as usual (including a rear multi-touchpad), which will come in 2 versions: WiFi and WiFi + 3G, with a fairly tight price of 249 USD and 299 USD respectively.

All this is fine, but as is happening to the Xperia Play, would remain in alone if not for 3rd party upport. Thus, great songs have already been announced as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, an RPG called Ruin, ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet, and even Street Fighter x Tekken, this is the PSP Vita trailer:

iOS 5 for Developers

Many news came with the official announcement of the fifth iteration of one of the most advanced mobile operative systems: iOS (previously called iPhoneOS don't forget). Things like messaging, offline reading, cloud synchronization and notifications will be bundle along the september update, meanwhile, we, as developers must learn and relearn the APIs released, which Apple says are more than 1,500.

Of course, we will learn them by the time goes on, however, there is a list of the most noticeable to take note of:

Droid 3 or Milestone 3 for friends

From GSM Arena, I got information that Verizon released video tutorials for the Droid 3/Milestone 3 from Motorola. Verizon Wireless and Motorola did a great job in keeping the highly anticipated Motorola Droid 3 a well guarded secret. Until today at least. The upcoming Android handset showed itself completely in a series of tutorial videos and left nothing to our imagination, at least as far as looks are concerned.

The videos confirm the 8MP camera on the handset. It will be capable of recording 1080p videos as well. On the left side of the device, you get a microUSB and HDMI connectors much like another Droid by Motorola - the X2. The right side of the device will host two volume keys. There is no camera shutter button on the smartphone.

Sphero or trading control ways

iOS SDK allows programmers explode their imagination with many technologies and tools that are provided just out of the box. Now, I want to show you a simple toy called Sphero.

Also, with smarphones, the gameplay possibilities are endless, especially when you add another physical object such as a helicopter or a remote controlled car. Let me add one more to the list, a ball that we can control from the iOS device, be it the iPad or iPhone. Check this out:

C&P: Android Loves App Engine and the other way arround

This is a copy-paste (C&P) from a post called: Android Meet App Engine, App Engine Meet Android where new functionalities for the GPE (Google engine for Eclipse) comes within:

Imagine this: you’ve spent the past few months hammering away at the latest mobile game sensation, Mystified Birds, and you are one level away from complete mastery. And then it happens. In a fit of excitement you throw your hands up, and along with them your Nexus S, which settles nicely at the bottom of the pool you happen to be relaxing next to. The phone is rendered useless. Luckily, your insurance policy covers the replacing the device and the Android Market handles replacing your apps. Unluckily though, all of your Mystified Birds data went the way of your device, leaving you to start from scratch.

Noise cancellation

Have you ever wondered how the noise cancellation works?? Smart Phones like Google Nexus One, iPhone 4, among many includes the hardware necessary to implement such technology improving considerably the signal transfered to our receiver, unfortunately not always works the other way around.

Anyway, people from Chipworks discovered the function of a small chip along the A4 processor inside the iPhone 4, this one:

Tegra goes Desktop

We have seen many products with Nvidia Tegra 2 along many devices (smart phones and tablets) from different brands and companies. Now, this chip will be used to run onto a "Desktop" computer, the super compact Trim Slice:

Next Time, Take Security More Carefully

Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:

We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011,
certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account
information was compromised in connection with an illegal and
unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this
intrusion, we have:

1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;

Let's dance with Sorting Algoritms

Have you ever cracked your mind trying to understand sorting algoritms like the one of bubble, insert, shell or some others?? Ok, this is your lucky day to at least have fun watching some videos.

Sapientia University, in Romany, is responsible for this idea and production. The sort methods that are shown list the Bubble Sort (by Hungarian folk dance "Csángó"), the Shell Sort (by Hungarian folk dance "Székely), the Insert Sort (Hungarian dance only) and the Select Sort (by gypsy dance unspecified).

iOS & Android vs PSP & NDS

Interesting cake graphics presented by Flurry Analytics guys, which shows the incidence and growth of Android and IOS for the US gaming market.

First, below is the income share for games on portable devices, where Android and IOS have greatly increased their percentage of the pie at the expense of a PSP and (especially) Nintendo DS to be left behind.

Graphene: Next To Provide 1THz

Imagine that in 6 years or so, chips inside our mobiles (or the devices at that time) will have clock cycles of 1THz (1,000 GHz = 1,000,0000 MHz etc), in other words, enough power to serve half of the request made to Facebook just into our hands, could you??

Few years ago, there have been investigations about the use of graphene as a material for the creation of chips, processors and all kinds of electronic circuits. Until now it was known that this particular material, consisting of a monatomic mesh of carbon atoms, is able to withstand amazing transfer speeds, making it the ideal replacement for silicon.
