Toshiba to Announce Android Tablet at CES 2011

2011-01-05T21:20:00.000-08:00

With Motorola's upcoming Android Honeycomb-based tablet stealing the spotlight—those "tablet evolution" ads dissing the iPad and the Galaxy Tab are attention grabbers—Toshiba has pulled off a bit of a coup. The refreshingly simply-named Toshiba Tablet is officially the first Honeycomb tablet announced during the Consumer Electronics Show season.

It's true, Motorola's tablet has been hyped for weeks now, but we have yet to officially see it, only hear about it. PCMag had some hands-on time with Toshiba's tablet (see the slideshow below), but there was one major drawback: it wasn't powered up. And there is some question remaining about whether the Toshiba Tablet will be shown off at CES loaded with Android Honeycomb (the Google OS version designed for tablets) or whether the Toshiba will instead demo it with Android 2.3.

Here's what we know so far:

The operating system will be Android Honeycomb from Google.
Honeycomb means support for Adobe Flash content, so there's an immediate advantage over the iPad.
The processor is Nvidia's Tegra 2. So, a dual-core processor and integrated Nvidia graphics mean quicker multi-taksing and better video and game playback.
It's armed with a 1280-by-800 (720p), 10.1-inch multi-touch screen with "Toshiba Adaptive Display technology"—meaning it adjusts color and brightness according to your lighting conditions.
It has 1080p video playback and an HDMI output for watching 1080p (or any video) content on a television.
Two cameras—a 2-megapixel, front-facing camera for video chats and a 5-megapixel rear camera for photos and video recording.
The keyboard will provide haptic feedback—great news for those of you who want to feel something buzz or vibrate when you type.
You can swap out the back cover of the tablet for a different color, which is cool, but leads to an even color fact: the prismatic lithium ion battery is user replaceable. Nice.
The tablet comes preloaded with Toshiba Places and Toshiba BookPlace eReader and marketplac. Strangely, there's no mention of the Android Market despite the insistence that the tablet comes with Honeycomb.
Connectivity includes USB 2.0, mini USB, and SD card ports.
It supports 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and has built-in GPS.
Its dimensions: 10.7 by 6.9 by 0.6-inches and 1.7 pounds, which is on the heavy side for a tablet.
No pricing information is available—other than Toshiba reps stating that it will be "competitive" with the iPad's price.
No internal storage figures to report yet.

Toshiba said the tablet will be available in the "first half" of 2011; it seems as if Toshiba is waiting to release the tablet in order to ensure it ships with Honeycomb installed. It's a smart business move, but some of you will scoff at the announcement of the Honeycomb device before it is ready to be shown off. Only visits to Toshiba's booth at CES will prove whether the device currently is running Honeycomb, or if the Toshiba is merely promising that it will ship with Honeycomb.

What is Bada

2010-12-31T01:38:00.000-08:00

Samsung bada is a smartphone platform released in 2010. The word “bada” means “ocean” in Korean. Samsung Wave is the first bada-powered phone. For developers, bada will bring a new blue ocean of mobile applications. For customers, they will have a wider choice of smartphones with cost-effective yet powerful bada-powered phones.

Vision of bada

The vision of bada is “Smartphone for Everyone”. bada’s main goal is not to compete with other existing smartphone platforms. Instead, bada will turn Samsung’s conventional customers into smartphone users by providing cost-effective smartphones. This means that bada will open and extend a new smartphone market, which does not exist in the current mobile market.

History of bada

Samsung bada has long history. Almost 10 years of history. It has been Samsung’s proprietary platform for a long time. During its long history, it has been deployed in many successful handsets. For example, Samsung “Star” is an example of recent successful phones, of which sales surpassed 10 million units, just six months after its release.

To make the proprietary platform smarter, we added exciting features such as multipoint-touch, 3D graphics, an enhanced UI, and of course, application downloads and installation, and so bada was born. Samsung bada is proven to be reliable with its history and also enhanced with its new features.
Business with bada

Samsung bada will help mobile developers to expand their application business. Our aim is to continue to release successful models. Over 220,000,000 customers bought Samsung handsets in 2009. Over 40,000,000 customers bought Samsung touch phones last year. Samsung bada will rapidly be adopted by such customers this year.

In addition, the global distribution and coverage of Samsung mobile phones and Samsung Apps, the application store, will boost developers´ businesses. Samsung Apps will expand its service to 75 countries for bada in 2010.

No wonder. A new blue ocean is coming. We hope you are among the early birds in this new market.

Features of bada

Even though bada supports a wide range of devices, bada is powerful enough to turn your imagination into powerful applications. With high end devices such as Wave, bada fully utilizes the power of hardware for the ultimate application experience. Even with mid-range or cost-effective models, it also provides powerful features for better application experiences.

Features such as plenty of UI controls, Flash support, and sensor support help applications to be more interactive. Service-centric features such as in-app-purchasing, SNS integration, and push notification help applications to offer customers a richer, more interactive experience.

For more information, please refer to the Technical Resources page in bada Developers web site.

Ecosystem Support

To help customers and developers, bada provides well-made ecosystem support. Samsung bada provides an application store, developer support systems with useful information, and a developer-friendly certification process.

Samsung bada is a promising platform for developers and customers. We hope you find a new blue ocean for your business with bada. Why not dive into bada today?

Resistive touchscreen

2010-05-12T09:05:00.002-07:00

In the cell phone industry there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens. Resistive touchscreen displays are composed of multiple layers that are separated by thin spaces. Pressure applied to the surface of the display by a finger or stylus causes the layers to touch, which completes electrical circuits and tells the device where the user is touching. As such, resistive type touchscreens require much more pressure to activate than capacitive touchscreens. Examples of devices with resistive touchscreens are the HTC Touch Diamond and the Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia.

Capacitive Touch Screen

2010-05-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

In the cell phone industry there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens. Capacitive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Because of this, capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand. Examples of devices with capacitive touchscreens are the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1.

Google Offers New Model for Consumers to Buy a Mobile Phone

2010-02-11T21:56:00.000-08:00

Launches Nexus One, contributing further innovation to the Android ecosystem

MOUNTAIN VIEW (January 5, 2010) - Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today unveiled a new way for consumers to purchase an Android mobile phone, a web store hosted by Google. The company is also launching the first phone offered through this new model, called the Nexus One, which combines the latest in hardware from HTC Corporation with the newest Android software.

The goal of Google's new consumer channel is to provide an efficient way to connect Google's online users with selected Android phones. The online experience of the web store has been designed with a focus on simplicity.

Through the web store found at www.google.com/phone, consumers can buy the Nexus One without service (meaning any GSM network SIM card can be inserted into the device), or purchase the phone with service from one of Google's operator partners. As new phones come to market through this channel, consumers will benefit from the ability to match a phone of their choice with the service plan that best meets their needs. Operator prices and plan details will be featured on the site.

"The Nexus One belongs in the emerging class of devices which we call ‘superphones,’ with the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ chipset making it as powerful as your laptop computer of three to four years ago. It's our way to raise the bar on what's possible when it comes to creating the best mobile experience for consumers," said Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering. "We look forward to working with handset manufacturers and operators to bring more phones to market through this channel worldwide."

Nexus One Hardware Features

Display: 3.7" AMOLED 480x800 WVGA display
Thinness: 11.5mm; Weight: 130g
Processor/Speed: Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 3G QSD8250 chipset, delivering speeds up to 1GHz
Camera: 5 megapixel auto focus with flash and geo tagging
Onboard memory: 512MB Flash, 512MB RAM
Expandable memory: 4GB removable SD Card (expandable to 32GB)
Noise Suppression: Dynamic noise suppression from Audience, Inc.
Ports: 3.5mm stereo headphone jack with four contacts for inline voice and remote control
Battery: Removable 1400 mAh
Personalized laser engraving: Up to 50 characters on the back of the phone
Trackball: Tri-color notification LED, alerts when new emails, chats, text messages arrive

"The Nexus One represents the unique combination of design and innovation two companies like Google and HTC can have when they collaborate," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. "The Nexus One continues HTC’s strategy of offering people a portfolio of phones that meet their diverse needs."

Nexus One Software Innovation

The Nexus One runs on Android 2.1, a version of the platform's Eclair software, which offers advanced applications and features including:

Google Maps Navigation: offering turn-by-turn driving directions with voice output.
Email: multiple Gmail accounts; universal inbox and Exchange support.
Phone book: aggregate contacts from multiple sources, including Facebook®.
Quick Contacts: easily switch between communication and social applications.
Android Market: access to more than 18,000 applications.

In addition, the Nexus One introduces new functionality and software enhancements:

Enter text without typing: Use a voice-enabled keyboard for all text fields: speak a text message, instant message, tweet, Facebook update, or complete an email.

Tell your phone what you want it to do: Search Google, call contacts, or get driving directions by just speaking into your phone.

Take personalization to the next level.

Dynamic, interactive, live wallpapers react to the touch of a finger.
More widgets and five home screen panels allow for further device customization.

Capture camera-quality pictures and video with your device.

5 megapixel camera includes LED flash, auto focus, zoom, white balance and color effects.
View pictures and Picasa Web Albums in the new 3D Gallery.
Record Hi-Res MPEG4 video, and then upload to YouTube with one click.

Read your voicemail messages: Get transcribed voicemail with Google Voice integration, without changing your number.

Pricing, Availability, and Future Plans

Nexus One is initially available from the Google web store in the US without service for $529 or starting at $179 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile USA. In the near future, Verizon Wireless in the US and Vodafone in Europe plan to offer services to customers in their respective geographies. Today, consumers can go to www.google.com/phone to learn about the Nexus One and place an order. We will initially take orders from consumers in the US and three other markets – the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

In the coming months Google plans on partnering with additional operators, offering consumers access to a broad set of service plans. In the future we expect to launch more phones with Android handset partners and to expand the web store to more countries.
