Intel launches new 180GB SSD

 

SSDs and hard drives have two common notable differences: the first is speed, because an SSD is much faster than current hard drive. The second difference is the price, because the SSD can cost much more than a standard hard drive. With the money you invest in a few 200GB SSD could buy a 1TB hard drive probably.

Several months ago we told that Intel had launched a new line of SSDs that had a single capacity, the Intel SSD 335. Now the company just added a new member to this family and it has a storage capacity of 180GB. Like his brother, 240GB, 180GB model uses a memory chip 20nm NAND.

New Nokia tablet on the way

The success of Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 is still something many debated, but still decided to scrap the platform Nokia Symbian and definitely start using Microsoft's mobile operating system from now on. Currently, the line of Nokia Lumia smartphones is pretty good at the hardware level, but is a bit limited in the number of applications available, although the amount is increasing daily. If you expect something different from Nokia, then read on as the company plans to plunge into the market for tablets.

Nothing is totally official yet, but according to some comments from CEO, Stephen Elop, is looking to increase its product offering and they would launching a new tablet. It seems that the launch of a tablet is a possibility that the company is considering a lot and should not be surprised that in a few months is officially announced.

It also appears that it would be two tablets: July 1 inches to compete with the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini and one of 10 inches to give war to iPad 4 and Kindle Fire, among others. The operating system is more than clear: Windows Phone 8 for small and probably Windows RT or Windows 8 for the largest.

Launch a tablet that can compete with the giants of the market seems very difficult, but not impossible.

The BlackBerry becomes very popular Z10

 

There are some who doubt much whether the return of the BlackBerry mobile phone market will be successful or not. So far it seems that the company is doing well. The BlackBerry Z10 is for sale in England for days and just arrived in Canada. Regarding the U.S., where the phone will be released soon, people seem very excited about the new mobile and analysts already begun to speak in favor of the Z10.

Jeff Kvaal, an analyst at Barclays, said that the beginning of the BlackBerry Z10 is still better than the Nokia Lumia 920, which means it has a greater demand from consumers compared to the smartphone from the Finnish company.

It is very likely that soon the new Microsoft and BlackBerry are in the midst of war for third place in the mobile market, as the second and first position Apple and Android will continue to play for a long time at least.

The Z10 and the new BlackBerry BB10 platform have everything you need to become very popular, so nobody should be surprised if they surpass Windows Phone 8 in no time.

Apple could launch a "iPhablet" this year

 

Okay, I'll be frank: this is something that definitely did not expect to come. Who could imagine that Apple, which has a single mobile device in the range of 4 inches to 6 inches, would be interested in creating a phablet? According to one analyst, before long we could see a large iPhone will probably be called "iPhablet" or something like that.

Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays Capital, says that we should expect the launch of the new 5-inch device this year. As has been seen, the phablets are gaining popularity, and this suggests that Apple might want to have your own model.

Is it possible Reitzes says? Well probably not. The company is already working on a low-cost iPhone and surely also in an improved version of iPhone 5 (5S) and both devices would be launched this year. Also there are rumors about an iPad 5 and a new version of the iPad Mini, which complicates matters further.

If Apple really going to throw a iPhablet, it should do so in late 2013 or early 2014.

Do you think this is even developing device? What technology do you think that would have?

Man wounded by the explosion of a Galaxy Note

 

A South Korean man suffered second degree burns after the device exploded.

Not the first time we see cases of exploiting Samsung devices, and this time the protagonist is a device Galaxy Note. It was Sunday afternoon when a 55-year-old suffered second degree burns on his right thigh. It seems that the Samsung Galaxy Note battery he carried in his pocket exploded, damaging both the clothes and the body of the person.

Although the incident was quite severe, there are not many details about the case. A Samsung spokesman said that lithium batteries can catch fire if they are under pressure or sudden temperature changes before. It seems that you are still trying to determine what actually happened in this case.

Others in the past have been victims of other models in the Galaxy, such as the Galaxy S II that injured a young or S II Skyrocket which burned in the pocket of a man if memory serves me.

Have you ever had problems like this with your phone?

The government wants a free public network of high-speed WiFi

 

The Federal Communications Commission of the United States has proposed creating a massive WiFi network that will give almost all citizens free access to a wireless Internet connection and high speed. The plan already has the support of giants like Google and Microsoft, while corporations like AT&T, Verizon and others that provide Internet services are not really disagree with the idea for obvious reasons.

This super WiFi network forever end mobile Internet plans and probably for homes, and that all people have access to a national network with speeds of 20MB / s.

For this network can be created, the government would need to use a portion of the signal of radio and television, which certainly will not happen if there is no money involved.

It would be great if this kind of ideas were implemented in other countries and not only in the United States.
