Mobiles marks 40 years

http://i.imgur.com/ftbXxY4.jpg

Currently, cell phones are commonplace to see every day, it was extremely rare that you saw a person with a mobile phone 40 years ago, in fact, wireless communication available to all staff and virtually non-existent at that time, the cases worldwide were very few, and here we see the first.
It was on April 3, 1973 when  Martin Cooper of Motorola showed his great invention to the world. He was in the village of New York City when he made ​​the first phone call in history through the working prototype of a mobile, the  DynaTAC. Who called in that historic moment Mr. Cooper? When President Nixon?? Does your boss perhaps? Of course not, he called Joel Engel, his rival at AT & T, who was also working on the technology of mobile phones in those days.
Of course, the  DynaTAC, also known as "the brick", just hit the market a decade later. It weighed just over 1 kilogram and 10 hours of charging only let us talk 30 minutes maximum.Obviously cellular calls were extremely expensive, so insurance would not talk for more than a minute. In fact, the phone itself cost about $ 9000 today.
Today cell phones are small, very cheap and also calls are cheap, not to mention phone technology, which is much more advanced.

The market share of the company on the block marked by 37.8% according to data collected by comScore MobiLens. Samsung once again stood in the second place, increasing its share to 21.4%, a slight improvement when compared with the previous two quarters.
The two giants of the market for mobile phones managed to improve their marks at the expense of HTC and Motorola, who fell by 1.7% and 1.4% respectively. LG managed to slightly improve its share, which rose by just 0.3 %.
In terms of operating systems, Android is still obviously winning platform with a share of 52.3%, but that means it has had a slight decrease compared to the previous room. IOS has improved slightly, increasing by 3 percentage , 5%. In fact, iOS was the only platform which improved its share, for the rest, that is Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian, suffered losses.
It is expected that this new room BlackBerry able to improve its brand with the launch of BlackBerry 10.

Google and the future of Motorola

 http://i.imgur.com/CvAj6DO.jpg

Surely remember that Google acquired the division of mobile phones from Motorola (Motorola Mobility) many months ago, right? If you do not remember, I invite you to refresh your memory through this post .
Back then, if we acquire a company and we want to maintain the same high moral, we must avoid certain comments like the one made ​​by the vice president of Google, Patrick Pichette, who said Motorola has a number of products that are "good" but not are something "wow", not innovative, as it somehow. He also said they need to start working in the mobile area immediately, in which Motorola has acknowledged that he could do better.
The most valuable assets of Motorola are undoubtedly its patents, the main reason for purchase by Google. The firm has launched great phones like the Droid RAZR M in the past, but it seems that the search engine company is still not enough. Pichette has been very optimistic about the future of Motorola, and says they still have much work ahead if they want Google and handset manufacturer overall progress.

Google and Motorola are working on a smartphone to rival the iPhone

http://i.imgur.com/367Un.jpg

Over the years, the iPhone from Apple and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones have become the best known devices of the phone market mobile terminal and currently no other has been able to compete with them. This could change as Google along with Motorola are working on a mobile to rival the rest of the market, including with top level competitors iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Recall that Google already has experience in the development of mobile phones and mobile devices, so for them there is a new market.
For now, the new device is known as the X Phone. It is said that it will be a very powerful phone with a camera and software for photos, but also have a flexible screen and outer ceramic. It speaks well of course X Tablet to be released sometime next year, although the data are about zero.
What Google and Motorola will bring up to? Let's wait a bit to see.

Motorola beats Microsoft in a patent violation case

http://i.imgur.com/s3XDM.jpg

It seems that the giants of technology will never end the war of patents.  Virtually all major companies are or have been involved in one of these cases, and sometimes not a single adversary, but with several. This has also led to criticism of the Patent Office of the United States.
Lately, Microsoft has taken an aggressive stance against Motorola. In Germany, the giant software has won three patent violation cases against Motorola Mobility, which as we know is part of Google since a couple of months. In a fourth case, the judge has decided to support Motorola. The patent in question relates to the ability of an application to run across multiple mobile .
This is a small victory only because Microsoft is doing everything possible to prevent the sale of a number of Motorola phones in Germany. Google, which acquired Motorola Mobility for greater amount of patent available, seems to have had more problems than joy because rape cases patent that is submerged the phone manufacturer.

So would a smartphone without bevel

 http://i.imgur.com/YlTJ0.jpg

Lately they have begun circulating rumors that deal with Motorola and its event next September 5th. Apparently, it is said that in the event the phone maker mobile will release a smartphone Android without bevel, ie a model similar to that shown in the image.
As you can see, the design is quite attractive and somewhat unusual since such phones are usually not seen every day. As to Motorola, the company has not commented on the subject, so I can not confirm whether a mobile will be presented this type or if it will be the Droid Razer HD as we said a few weeks ago.
Surely in the coming days we will have developments.

Motorola Defy Pro, a mobile high strength with a QWERTY keyboard and touch screen


 

You should make quite a while since the last time I saw a mobile phone from Motorola with QWERTY keyboard. But that's not all you have the new Motorola Defy Pro, as this small addition to the above type of keyboard, also has a touch screen that is protected by Gorilla Glass and glass is resistant to land and water.
Regarding the specifications, this is a mid-range mobile as it has only a 2.7-inch screen, 5 megapixel camera, use the Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread and has WiFi and Bluetooth.
To our knowledge, the Motorola Defy Pro will be arriving in Brazil on 15 July, but do not know what the price, but still consider that there will be high.
