New Battery Tech Can Extend of Mobile Life 10 Times

Batteries are a vital component in mobile devices, like cell phones. Any sophisticated hardware specs on a phone, will be useless if not didayai by a battery.
The more diversity of features or applications that can be offered by a mobile phone or gadget, of course, also needed a battery that has the power to live stronger and more durable. To get around this, many vendors phone or other gadgets that came with a battery-powered devices maximum.
Still associated with it, recently a group of engineers from Northwestern University reported to have designed a rechargeable lithium-new on that is claimed to increase the capacity of the battery up to 10 times. Interestingly in addition to having a larger capacity, the battery can also be charged with a faster time.
The researchers are combining the two approaches clams techniques to overcome two major limitations on the battery - the energy capacity and the average charge time, in one fell swoop. Besides better for mobile phones and iPods, this technology also could make it more efficient.
In principle, electrodes of modern lithium-ion batteries made of sheet graphen. Silicones are used for the same purpose may be superior to graphene, but because it has many limitations in terms of the charging process renders it practically useless.
Now, researchers finally developed the idea to develop a battery electrode consisting of silicon and graphene sheets to minimize the undesirable habits of silicone. The result, will dramatically increase energy density.
Meanwhile, the hole with a diameter between 10 and 20 nanometers are drilled through the graphene sheets, is expected to accelerate the charging time up to ten times.
Unfortunately, the battery with this new technology seems not to be out at least within three to five years into the future.
"This technology can be seen on the market within three to five years ahead," said the researchers were quoted as saying Aspirerich via Northwestern.

BlackBerry Dakota aka Bold 9900





BlackBerry Bold 9900, commonly known by Dakota
This phone offers a number of features than previous versions Friday, ranging from the design, operating system, to kitchen runway which claimed far more powerful.

However this phone comes not without obstacles, many kinds of smart phones from Android to the iPhone ready to scuttle the pace by offering a variety of specifications and features. So what are seeded by the BlackBerry Bold 9900?

Most Lean Body

BlackBerry Bold 9900 has a thickness of only 10.5 mm, making it very easy to put in a pocket without disrupting users. Reasearch in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry bahakan claims is the thinnest they've ever made.


Total weight of this phone is only about 130 g, so it is definitely light enough and comfortable grip. Even so well with the material used. Edges rear body dilapisin rubber so as not slippery when gripped, even though the current state of sweaty hands.





When compared with Onyx 2 phone looks more broadly, especially if for the keyboard. with keyboard is more convenient to use, more tender, more relief.


Emitted more elegant impression with brushed metal edges around the body, although the battery cover is still using a plastic material that is easy to open.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 has 4 buttons on the right fruit. Three of which serves to adjust the volume up and down, and a pause button in the middle, and a camera button.

While on the left side there are only 3.5 mm audio port and USB, plus the top to lock the screen. Such a position is certainly very beneficial because it is easy to reach.

After exploring the entire curve of the body BlackBerry Bold 9900, now is the time to taste all the sophistication of this phone.



Screen and Camera

BlackBerry Bold 9900 screen measuring 2.8 "touchscreen with a resolution of up to 640 x 480 pixels, large enough but unfortunately not all of the BlackBerry application currently supports the resolution.

The quality of the screen displayed the phone also looks good. Although not yet secermelang other phones that use super-frills AMOLED or retina, but reading email or browsing through the product is indeed quite comfortable. To watch the video is also pretty fun, look at this screen has a contrast ratio of the right blend.

Level of responsiveness should be raised thumb, much faster than Tourch apalagai Storm. But this feature is not very useful, because in addition to the small screen size, user even more enjoyable going to navigate via the trackpad.

RIM Affairs menjelalinya camera with a lens at 5 MP plus LED lights, which is capable of capturing still images up to 2592x1944 pixels and video resolution 1280 X 720 pixels. While other features are the Geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilization, but absent Auto Focus.

While the picture quality is nothing special, pretty good outdoors but there will be less noise if used indoors. The camera phone is also quite a little trouble capturing images with little movement, and retrieval mode macros have not been able to help make the text visible. Here are shots from close range.

When used for recording moving images better result was previously the BlackBerry generation, both in terms of resolution or even in terms of quality. But unfortunately, in HD mode the tape will be saved in 3gp format, not MPEG which has better quality.

Performance and Battery Life

RIM is trying to hit the market by presenting this phone. BlackBerry Bold 9900 reinforced with 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB RAM memory and 8 GB of internal memory.

Using a smaller battery could be one of RIM's effort to create a BlackBerry thin, especially this phone has been using the BlackBerry OS7 claimed more efficient in power consumption. Still, with a more powerful processor edges still require a larger power supply.

In conclusion, by carrying the most recent technology from RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 aka the Dakota are expected to compete with other smart phones that had previously attended.

Evo 3D Android handset on the market since the first 3D before LG's first launch it, namely LG Optimus 3D. The 3D feature is considered to increase the attractiveness of smart phones.

As reported by the Telegraph (28/6/2011), the HTC Evo 3D capable of recording and playing a 3D video. Its screen is pretty wide, measuring 4.3 inch screen resolution with the technology of qHD 540x960.

Double rear camera in this handset, consisting of 5 MP can be used to capture 3D images or videos. While the front camera of 1.3 MP resolution.

From the kitchen side of the runway, the performance of 3D presumably would be speeding Evo thanks to the presence of a dual core processor 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon and 1 GB of RAM. The HTC Sense interface using dipermak, so that it can display 3D animations.

HTC Evo 3D marketed in shared United States operator Sprint for USD 200 with a two-year data contract. Then soon marketed in Europe, the first United Kingdom menyambangi Kingdom. It is unclear whether this handset also will be sold in Asia.

Apple fans line up to buy first batch of iPad 2s

The updated version of Apple Inc.'s iPad tablet computer went on sale Friday afternoon, and was greeted by the now-familiar lines of buyers outside Apple stores.

The Cupertino company opened online sales of the iPad 2 at 4 a.m. local time, well before they became available in East Coast stores at 5 p.m. They were set to go on sale nationwide at the same hour, local time.
Apple fans, as usual, were eager to get their hands on the device as they waited at the company's Apple's Fifth Avenue store in New York. The line of customers, including some who traveled from Japan and Russia, snaked through the street-level plaza above the subterranean store while bystanders gawked at the crowd.
Employees cheered from inside the store as iPad buyers entered. Alex Shumilov, a customer who traveled from Moscow to snag two iPads, emerged first, beaming while holding one tablet in each hand. The trendy device won't go on sale outside the U.S. for another two weeks.

When the original version of the iPad debuted 11 months ago, Apple said it sold more than 300,000 in the first day. It ended up selling more than 15 million in the first nine months, including 7.3 million to holiday shoppers in the October-December quarter.

The new iPad model comes with several improvements over the original version but the same price tag - $499 to $829, depending on storage space and whether they can connect to the Internet over a cellular network. Analysts believe the improvement would make it more difficult for rivals to break Apple's hold on the emerging market for tablet computers.

The iPad 2 looks much like the first iPad, only with a sleeker, lighter body and a curved back. Among changes is the inclusion of cameras for videoconferencing, one on the front and one on the back.
With the original iPad, Apple proved there is a large market for a tablet that's less than a laptop and more than a smart phone, yet performs many of the same tasks. Competitors including Dell Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. have been trying to lure consumers with smaller tablets, without much success. In February, Motorola Mobility Inc.'s Xoom went on sale with a new version of Google Inc.'s Android software designed especially for tablets.

Underscoring the importance of the iPad to the world's most valuable technology company, Apple CEO Steve Jobs emerged from a medical leave earlier this month to unveil the new version to bloggers and Apple enthusiasts. Jobs, 56, announced in January that he would take his third leave of absence in seven years to focus on his health. During that time, he has survived a rare but curable form of pancreatic cancer and undergone a liver transplant.

After its U.S. launch Friday, the iPad 2 goes on sale March 25 in 26 other markets, including Mexico, New Zealand, Spain and other European countries.

The above information submitted when Steve Jobs gave a presentation on Apple's latest tablet, iPad 2 in San Francisco United States, on Wednesday last 02/03/11.

In addition to two times faster, A5 processor also pushing the graphics capability iPad 2 to nine times faster than the first generation iPad.
