Smart MEMS eases mobile apps

PORTLAND, Ore. — As more mobile devices incorporate micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) chips to detect orientation and control functions—from scrolling the display to preventing damage from drops—accelerometers need low power for always-on operation to prolong battery life. Kionix claims the industry's lowest power with the introduction of its digital-output, tri-axis accelerometers combined with smart, hard-wired on-chip algorithms designed to unburden a mobile device's microcontroller.

Vodafone brings BlackBerry Storm to the Dutch market

BlackBerry Storm features include: SurePress touch-screen, which depresses when the screen is pressed; built-in orientation sensor; 3.25-inch, high resolution (480x360-pixels at 184ppi), color display; and a 3.2 megapixel camera with variable zoom, auto focus and flash that also provides continuous lighting when recording video.

Using Robotic Avatars in Second Life Simulations and Training- Posted: November 24 2008

Second Life (SL) is a widely-available, free for users, 3D, immersive platform already used by many companies for employee training, placement and new hire orientation. Introduction of robotic avatars technology by AHG and use of such robots in training simulations makes SL truly asynchronous training tool. Now trainees can use training simulations independently from instructor. Use of secure “off-Second-Life” databases located on companies’ network, allows, at the same time, full control over trainee’s work and progress.

EJB 3: From legacy technology to secret weapon

Some say Enterprise JavaBeans earned its reputation for complexity one burned out programmer at a time. But developers today have begun to notice that EJB 3 is an entirely different animal. Convention over configuration, annotations, dependency injection, and aspect orientation make modern EJBs a lean alternative to XML-laden and JAR-heavy frameworks. In this article, Adam Bien explains how EJB 3's new component model and persistence handling help streamline enterprise development -- and even work well for small and midrange applications.

New Handheld Instrument Improves Solar PV Designs and Maximises Returns - 24/10/2008

Low carbon technology experts, Encraft are launching SunEye, a hand held device that maximises the efficiency of solar panels, saving time and money for professionals. SunEye is designed for easy use by solar installers and surveyors to optimise the placement and orientation of solar panels. It measures solar access shading and the impact of shading at a particular location. With the press of a button, the user can see when and where shadows will occur throughout the day and year.

Dash halts hardware, may make iPhone GPS app...

Dash Navigation announced on Monday that it will cease making it Dash Express GPS navigation devices for cars that include Web 2.0 services as part of a bigger company move to change its business model from a consumer-focused one to a business-to-business orientation. The company will instead sell licenses for use of its platform to other makers of automobile on-board navigation systems, smartphones and mobile Internet devices (MIDs), among other electronics. Earlier this summer, the company halved prices of its navigation units, which the company launched started selling near the beginning of the year for about $600.

Four layout extensions for OpenOffice.org Writer

OpenOffice.org Writer is as much a desktop publishing program as a word processor. That fact, however, has yet to have much influence on the extensions created for Writer -- perhaps because most users prefer manual formatting to organizing themselves with page styles, templates, and other elements of document design. Still, extensions for layout are starting to appear, as demonstrated by four extensions that help you automate layout: Alba, which manages page orientation; Pagination and Pager, which manage page numbering; and Template Changer, which allows you to change the template, and therefore the entire layout of documents, on the fly. And all but one of these extensions use styles and templates, the way that OpenOffice.org is built to work, which means that they are highly stable.

FXNEWS-USD can gain because of recession fear-Commerzbank

Oct 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar can gain because of recession fears, Commerzbank writes in a note. The firm says recession fears have triggered another round of flight to safety and U.S. T-bills are still the ultimate safe haven for global investors. What's more, the U.S. might be better equipped to weather a recession than many other countries. "While the U.S. is already preparing new fiscal stimulus packages and is putting aside long-term fiscal principals, the Europeans are still discussing questions of basic economic orientation."

Regulators interconnect decision causes anger

The Romanian telecoms regulator ANC has ruled that interconnect tariffs for the country’s two largest mobile operators will be cut from 1 January 2009. Interconnect charges at Vodafone and Orange will be lowered from EUR0.0644 to EUR0.0503. Vodafone has responded angrily, saying the cut discourages competition and creates unbalances in the wireless market, with smaller rivals Cosmote, RCS&RDS and Zapp/Telemobil having the reductions to their own charges staggered over the next two years. ‘Following the completion of a new market survey, ANC proposes to impose the cost-orientation obligation on all five mobile telephony operators, and, respectively, the obligation to reduce the interconnection tariffs charged by Cosmote, Telemobil and RCS&RDS, while allowing them to apply a gradual adjustment glidepath so as not to affect their busines

iPod Nano (8GB) : iPod, I am

Few would argue with the numero uno status which the iPod commands. And despite all the numerous competitors selling higher capacity, feature-laden products at the same price, the iPod's leadership isn't going to fizzle out any time soon. The new iPod Nano, now in its 4th generation goes back to the tall and lean form factor from the first and second generations. Only it's now even sleeker than before. The changes are not just skin deep; it now comes with a built in accelerometer to automatically changes the screen orientation when you hold it sideways. The accelerometer also enables a gimmicky shake-to-shuffle feature.
