The Moveable could be a reality on New Year

http://i.imgur.com/Bo8yxzS.jpg


How did the guys from Polytron Technologies to create such a thing? We are very uncertain, but the fact is that they have managed to create much. What we are seeing is nothing more and nothing less than the prototype of a transparent smartphone, the first of its kind in the world.

Of course, certain aspects of the phone are still not very well detailed and elaborate, but being a prototype sure the details will be corrected later. What can we know the phone so far?

It has a microSD slot and other ports on the sides somewhat indistinguishable. Is that all? Yes, because the images of time not shed much light on the subject.

It is estimated that the launch will occur in late 2013 or perhaps early 2014, so probably between October and November we start to find leaked information about it. No choice but to wait.

The next Mars Curiosity depart in 2020

The 2012 has been a busy year for NASA. Curiosity, the rover sent to Mars, has proved very successful. So successful in fact that NASA has plans to send a new Curiosity to Mars in 2020.
The 2020 mission to Mars will have the same objectives as the current-testing of samples of Martian soil. Obviously the difference between the current and future Curiosity is 8 years of technological advancement, which will develop more advanced tools. Of course we also continue the search for life on Mars, and this time seems to focus a little more on this topic.
The project has been awarded $ 1,500 million as funds, which is $ 1 billion less than it had the original project, but not surprising since much of the project's Curiosity current can be reused, which obviously reduces costs.
After that the next step is to send humans in 2030.

The fourth generation mobile known as LTE (Long Term Evolution) allows among other things, transmit data at high speed and eliminate conventional voice. Two companies will be the first to take the first step towards the 2013 but there are other operators such as Verizon, ATT or Srint that intend to provide voice by LTE.
Disappears voice messages and MMS
South Korea Telecom plans to launch voice data associated with the Galaxy Samsung S3, terminal capable of connecting to LTE. For the MetroPCS mobile will offer its customers the LG Connect 4G. This movement highlights the need for manufacturers will launch terminals compatible with the fourth generation, in fact, the latest rumors assume that the next iPhone 5 will have LTE connectivity.
These packages deleted such rates as voice, SMS and MMS. Only hire customer data and can call, send messages, pictures or video reaizar network using LTE. Is to see the price of the plans and possible limitations, but it appears that users will benefit.

Ultrabooks could recharge your smartphone over the air in 2013

 http://i.imgur.com/mh8gJ.jpg

The Palm Pre phone and showed the world how great may be the wireless charges, and did so in 2009. Many of today's smartphones can be recharged wirelessly, except for some models, but what really draws attention to this type of load is that it is made ​​by ultrabook, and the idea has been Intel .
It seems that Intel could begin to develop its own technology for wireless charging smartphones by ultrabooks, which undoubtedly sounds great, but otherwise there may be some drawbacks in this regard. First of all, it is likely that the smartphone needs to be Intel architecture, and currently the only mobile phone developed by Intel is the San Diego, that truth is not bad, but the idea can not convince companies also manufacture laptops and smartphones with ARM processors, such as Lenovo and Asus.
Another reason why we may not see this come to light, is due to the high cost of development. Companies like Sharp and Samsung are already working on their projects, but the expenses are not allowed to move forward apace.
If the rumors come true, Intel would be introduced this new charging technology in mid-2013.

Lorenzo (CMT) recognizes that there is a regulation "asymmetric" between operators and service providers

 

The president of the Telecommunications Market Commission (CMT), Bernardo Lorenzo, has acknowledged that there is "asymmetric regulation" between operators and Internet service providers 'over the top', as whatsapp and Skype.
"Operators complain that there is an asymmetric regulation and I agree," stated Lorenzo told reporters after the presentation of the financial report and sectoral telecommunications regulatory body.
However, the head of the CMT has clarified that he does not believe that the solution is an "intensive regulation." Lorenzo added that the European regulator for electronic communications (Berec) is "starting" to talk about this. "They are beginning to talk, but traders are worried about cannibalizing their services," he added.
Lorenzo has highlighted the increased competition in the sector. In this sense, the two main market, Telefónica and Vodafone, reduced market share Mobile 2.7 and 1.3 percentage points to 39% and 28.2% respectively and, in return, Telstra and MVNOs were increased theirs, accounting for 5.3% and 6.8%. Also, fixed broadband, Telephone lines and 124,422 lost for the first time, its market share fell below 50%.
In addition, the president of the CMT has highlighted the "significant" drop in prices that has occurred in the telecommunications sector last year and have contributed to the fall in revenues in the sector.
PRICE FALL
In particular, mobile communications prices fell more than 16% and a standard package of fixed telephony and fixed broadband, more than 7.5%. However, Lorenzo has admitted that SMS prices remain "high" despite decreased by 9.9% compared to 2010.
In any case, Lorenzo pointed out that CMT only regulates wholesale prices should, yes, almost unseen in retail prices.
As for portability in a day, has stated that Lorenzo has been in place "recently" so it is reasonable that initially takes place "some type of incident." Since last June 1 customers can switch carriers without losing their phone number (portability) within one working day, compared to the previous four days.
Looking ahead, Lorenzo provides a moderate growth of fixed broadband lines and double-digit mobile broadband, driven by the use of intelligent terminals and tablets. "It will increase further the speed of Internet access, both fixed broadband and mobile, but will reduce the data traffic in SMS and MSM" has come forward.
Asked about the bill that are unified with the regulators (CMT, CNE, CNC) under the new National Market and Competition, Lorenzo has merely replied that the agency is headed by the plan for 2013, although know what will happen next year.

The EU funds research to make cities

 
The European Union will allocate EUR 365 million in 2013 to make their cities more "intelligent", linking research in energy, transportation and communications to address problems such as congestion and energy waste.
Especially in times of economic hardship, the Commission is able to take risks and encourage measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and create efficient ways to save costs in a time when smaller companies are more likely to avoid risks.
The Commission quoted figures on congestion in the cities - where more than two thirds of Europeans - it costs about 1 percent of GDP.
"We need to encourage research and innovation that can lead us to our goals of free towns of carbon dioxide, progressively destroying conventional fuel cars in city centers, opting for electric vehicles and buses to cast silent smoke "said Transport Commissioner of the EU, Siim Kallas.
The purpose is to maximize the effectiveness of research resources and concentrate on a small number of demonstration projects.
"Innovation drives the competitiveness of Europe and is the best way to address energy efficiency," said Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger.
He added that the partnership for intelligent cities and communities could help spread technology like heating and air conditioning, smart meters and zero energy buildings.
A group that includes business leaders, municipal officials and regulatory authorities will be created to help implement the project, said the Commission, and issued tenders to select programs eligible for EU subsidies.
