Liquid cooling? Into a smartphone ? Yes, believe it or not. The cooling systems are usually seen more often in computers , mainly in computer gamer, not any equipment. Perhaps this is a smartphone gamer? Nor, is simply a phone which has become the first smartphone with liquid cooling, and obviously the liquid used is water.
The phone we are talking about is called NEC Media X 06E and is one of the first devices mobile in having a water cooling system. In addition, the terminal has a powerful processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.7GHz quad-core, which gives it a few extra points.
Additionally, the design of the phone is quite striking and stylish, but as indicated mainly caters for women, insurance so many do not like to use it.
We expect the NEC Media X 06E is the first of many future smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices with cooling system to be launched in the future

Remember the HTC One ? A smartphone high end that was put up for sale recently this year. As announced by HTC, are currently increasing its production capacity to achieve produce at least twice as many units of the One, since apparently there is a great demand from their customers.

According to Jack Tong, one of the key executives of the Taiwanese company, its production capacity will increase significantly from now on, after having overcome some problems that arose some providers. Overall HTC is optimistic and believes that in the coming months its new flagship smartphone will have very good sales. Improve production to meet demand without doubt take the company to generate more profits, which did not come too bad because in these past months things have not gone so well.
By the way, if you do not remember the specs, the HTC One has a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and full HD screen 4.7 inches, among other things.

It seems that just seep 8-inch version of the Galaxy Tab 3, the latest tablet introduced by Samsung. The South Korean company unveiled the 7-inch device a few weeks ago, and now there are rumors and there are several data on a version with a slightly larger screen. Obviously, the 8-inch model looks very like the 7-inch, and the differences between them are really few actually.
As rumored, the new August 3 inch Tab has a screen resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels (slightly better than that of his younger brother), also has a 5 megapixel camera on the back and the front is one of 1.3 megapixels. Its connectivity available include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and 3G, and level has an interface port for USB 2.0 . Its battery has a capacity of 4450mAh and its processor is a dual-core running at 1.5GHz.
That's all we know for now. Probably Samsung will release this new version of the Galaxy Tab 3 next month, so I should not be surprised to see an official announcement in a few weeks.

Corning, the same company developing Gorilla Glass glass found on the iPhone and many other devices, just to publicize his new creation, a new glass called Lotus Glass XT, created with the latest equipment technology .
Lotus XT glass has several other properties Corning glass, but the main difference is that it is also easier and cheaper to manufacture, thus certainly more providers begin to use in new devices, or at least we hope. Lotus Glass XT is designed especially for high-resolution displays and helps improve both the brightness and the quality of them compared to other existing glass.
As we know, the different products of the company are widely used in the field of mobile phones and tablets to improve not only the resistance of the devices, but also the quality of the screen. Reportedly, Apple is planning to use Gorilla Glass vidirio 3 in its new line of iOS devices, and surely the Lotus XT also appear there, given the strong relationship between the company Apple and Corning.

Gifts for Mother's Day, mothers only geeks

http://i.imgur.com/oQ7nBIg.jpg

Maybe in your country on Mother's Day already passed or may not have arrived yet this year, but in large amounts of countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, ie tomorrow. Here I will recommend a few things that you can give to your mother, but beware, they are gifts for geeks or that mothers understand the technology today. Come up with a list:
- A smartphone : obvious? Well, actually yes. A smartphone is an ideal gift for any loving mother of devices and gadgets. No need to explain the functions of a mobile phone because everyone knows them. The only thing needed is to choose the model that is most appropriate. To do this you have to consider two things: 1) your pocket and 2) the platform that most would like your mother. If you already have (or had) a smartphone that runs with certain platform, we suggest you present him one using the same operating system. Obviously if you have a little iPhone 5 will present him a similar or 4S. Think carefully on your choice.
- Tablets : for sure we all love tablets. Fortunately this year we have more variety than last year. Remember that there are already several Android tablets of 7 inches and up for sale. The iPad also has its Mini version and the traditional version of 10 inches. If you opt for one that runs on Windows, for now you will not find anything about 7 or 8 inches, you have to find a bigger one.
- A vacuum cleaner robotics : a great choice is the iRobot Roomba 630. It is a modern vacuum cleaner with many functions, including going to the charging station when battery is running low. If I remember correctly, this particular model was launched last year, so it's very modern. If you plan to give her one of these, be prepared to give a blow to your wallet.
- A USB: USB flash drives, also known as "pendrive", are having a bit of fashion due to the use of the cloud, but having never been anything wrong, right? By the way, is that the design goes hand in hand with the occasion, that is, other than the typical all-white, flat memory without scenery.
- EBook Reader: ebook reader is a great gift if our mother enjoys reading. In addition, there is a huge collection of books in digital format available.
- A watch: there are many watches modern with interesting features, so one of these will not all bad. A good choice can be the Sony SmartWatch. The downside of this small, it's available only in white and black.
If you think of any other medium geek gift we can add to the list, do not forget to leave a comment.

Amazon working on a new 3D smartphone

http://i.imgur.com/q0CIzkl.jpg

Rumors that Amazon is developing a smartphone dating since late 2011 or so. Now, as the familiar Wall Street Journal, the company is working on not one, but two phones.
The report indicates that Amazon is putting all his effort into the creation of several devices, two of which will be smartphones, and one of these two smartphones will be 3D (yes, 3D screen). The 3D screen smartphones are not new, but the truth is often not seen very often. It seems that the new Amazon Mobile will not need 3D glasses to enjoy three dimensional content.
In addition to these phones, says the company is also developing a device for streaming music and also a kind of decoder for TVs, all of which have not yet been officially confirmed. So far all Amazon developments at the level of hardware have focused on the Kindle readers and their tablets. Last year, CEO Jeff Bezos said they were planning to expand its range of hardware next year, ie in this 2013.
There will be attentive, for surely within the next few months Amazon will present its new smartphones.

Apple sales are falling

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

Apple is going through a bad time? It is possible that the lack of creativity present after Jobs' absence is causing the block not doing as well as ever in the market. Apple sales have started to decline lately, and we do not refer only to sales of its smartphone , the iPhone, but there are also low-level notebooks and tablets even.
308 million devices sold globally between January and March. Of that total, 60% were Android devices running. This leaves Apple, or rather, to iOS, second, even though the mobile platform is the dominant sector of the tablets, which means that smartphone sales are increasing by leaps and bounds. Windows sales were not a big deal, and we're talking both at mobile and tablets and laptops.
We're not sure if Android is improving or Apple is losing much quality, but the fact is that Apple should get to work hard if you want to improve the picture somewhat.
