Main disadvantages

  • Very bad QVGA (320×240) video recording @15fps
    There are some good ROMs in internet, which support very good resolution video recording for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I didn’t try because its pretty new device! If I flash the device it will cos warranty issue.
    Not sure why Samsung set video resolution to a poor value.
  • No shutter key for the camera
  • No support for Adobe Flash in the web browser (Still you can watch You tube and flash videos in it).
  • No ambient light sensor
  • No DivX/Xvid video support out of the box
  • Not ARM-7 architecture.
  • Java applications are not supported by default. Need to download Java MIDP emulator.

Issues Noticed

  • Phone gets heated up a lot (Mainly battery) while charging and while running heavy applications.
  • Samsung Ace S5830 shut down by itself when screen goes off, mainly when using the Wi-fi, it looks like an android 2.2 bug.
  • My Samsung Ace S5830, only 1 month old recently powered off its own and was not able to switch it on back. When checked with service center guy, he said motherboard shorted, need to replace mother board.
  • Firefox browser is not supported. Its not the Samsung ace issue we can say Firefox need more RAM and resource to run.

Glass less Apple 3D TV How it Works

Apple 3D

Apples new patent looks to be a form of 3D projection technology. The Apple 3D patent was originally filed in 2006, and has just now been released publicly. Apple has been working on a device that allows the viewer to view a 3D image without those 3D glasses. The Apple 3D invention uses a screen that deflects images taken from slightly different angles into each eye to create a stereoscopic image which the brain converts into three dimensions. The brass ring is an entirely holographic live-action movie, though such a feat will require new film making techniques to capture the actors from all the necessary angles. The Apple 3D technology will likely first be implemented with computer displays, and the iPad.

Looking at the setup it is really hard to implement. Apple 3D will have 3 hardware components like a projector, 3D image generator, 3D display and light sensor, which is placed accordingly in a room. It’s clear that it need a special room to implement this Apple 3D technology. So you are not using 3D glasses to see this but you need to spend more on devices and also should arrange a special room for it. Any way if the quality and 3D reality is good then the people will accept it.

IBM Builds Worlds Smallest 22nm SRAM Memory

IBM announced the first working static random access memory (SRAM) for the 22nm (nanometer) technology node. A nanometer is one one-billionth of a meter or about 80,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Worlds first and ever reported smallest working SRAM cell.

The SRAM cell utilizes a conventional six-transistor design and has an area of 0.1um2, breaking the previous SRAM scaling barriers. SRAM cell size is a key technology metric in the semiconductor industry, and this work demonstrates IBM and its partners’ continued leadership in cutting-edge process technology.

22 nm is two generations away in chip manufacturing. The next generation is 32 nm, where IBM and its partners are in development with their leading 32 nm high-K metal gate technology.

World’s Smallest 8-MegaPixel Camera Ever!! By Samsung

Smallest Cam

Samsung says, one of the world’s smallest high-resolution cameras yet. Although capable of 8-megapixel shots, the this camera is roughly as wide as a coin and a third of an inch thick, allowing it to fit into far thinner and more compact phones than even many 5-megapixel cameras. The sensor is also more powerful than most at its size with up to ISO 1600 light sensitivity, anti-blur and noise correction, and both face and smile detection for portraits.

Samsung says the camera will be used both in Korea and abroad, in mobile phones as well as digital cameras and other portable media devices.

Production samples arrived in market with products containing the tiny camera in consumer’s hands in the second half of the year like innov8.

* Stocks, Weather, Notes
* Calculator

Built into iPhone are two small but intelligent sensors that pick up cues from the environment and adjust the screen accordingly. These sensors both work to maximize the battery life and improve your iPhone experience.
[ad#add-top-in]
The ambient light sensor in iPhone automatically brightens the display when you’re in sunlight or a bright room and dims it in darker places.

When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches.

iPhone responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer. When you rotate iPhone from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer detects the movement and changes the display accordingly. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.

The 3G iPhone will sell for US$199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. That’s a $200 discount from the previous $399 and $499 prices for the 8GB and 16GB iPhones, respectively.

New Intel SSD with more than 32GB of Storage also Smaller than the Size of a Thumbnail

[ad#add-top-in]
Intel and Micron Technology on introduced a high-density chip that the companies say can pack 32 GB of storage on a smaller footprint than other similar devices.

The companies claim their latest product can drive capacities beyond 256 GB in a standard 1.8-inch form factor for solid-state drives. Intel and Micron also plan to introduce lower-density products by the end of the year.
Intel SSD
The NAND device is aimed at solid-state drives, which are increasingly being offered at a premium in notebooks to deliver faster boot times and more durability and reliability than traditional hard disk drives. In building the chip, used a 34-nanometer manufacturing process that increases the density of the device in order to cram more memory in a smaller space. “This new 32-GB device provides the best bit storage density available in the industry.

The new devices are smaller than the size of a thumbnail but can store more than 2,000 digital photos or up to 1,000 songs. The chips are also available in a two eight-die stacked package to deliver 64 GB of storage.

The companies expect to ship samples of the latest chip to customers in June. Volume production is expected in the second half this year.

While solid-state drives have a number of advantages over hard disk drives. SSDs use up less battery power than HDDs, the biggest disadvantage is price.
