Wireless charging, iPhone TV and more gadtes at hot gadges show

At the International Consumer Electronics(ICE) Show last week, 3-D television, electronic readers and small laptops captured much of the attention.

There were plenty of other interesting ideas on display, also, from 3-D printing for cell phone wireless tether. Here are some of the gadgets are expected to keep out even for this year, and even some of the best eyebrow machicolation of play:

TV on the iPhone - Qualcomm Inc. 's FLO TV service has been limited by the fact that only a few AT & T Inc. and Verizon cell phones to receive the wireless signals, to about 15 news, sports and entertainment channels. Now, Qualcomm has teamed up with phone maker Mophie Accessories create an external battery pack for the iPhone that doubles the FLO TV receiver. This is expected in the first half of the year.

Game-controller glove - Iron Innovations have shown a futuristic-looking black-and money-center glove and keyboard that lets users control games by Touching fingers together instead. Called the Fabhcún, the glove includes five sensors on each finger to replace different keystrokes when she contacted a glove to the thumb.

Wireless charges - Last year, showed off a Powermat U.S. MAT gadgets were being charged because it - as long as the gadgets were fitted with special covers.

Polaroid Instant Cameras - Polaroid stopped making the instant film two years ago, but brave group of enthusiasts and bought one of the former Polaroid factory in the Netherlands and reinvented the film. A film is expected on the market later this year, and to go along with, Polaroid announced at the show that it will bring back instant film cameras.

The cell-phone tether - losing your cell phone to draw, and called Zomm body believes it can make the thing on the past. It is a small device, also known Zomm, that wireless connection to your phone via Bluetooth and sets out the alarm if you walk out of it.

-3 D camera - the world pressure from makers of television sets that year to show 3-D on the town. Fujifilm, betting that people want to shoot their own 3-D movies and photos as well, is to sell as well as digital camera with two lenses, a set rather than as if they are human eyes.

3-D filter - What if you want 3-D scenes, but you are not trying to get a new 3-D television and Blu-ray player? Realview Innovations Ltd. It all worked out for you. The Irish company has developed the film over can be set to make it look as flat on the surface of the screen bulges inwards.

3-D color printing - Shapeways is offering 3-D print for several years, providing data files and turning them into sculptures with the help of a machine set down together layers of plaster-like material. At the show, the Dutch company announced that they are now offering sculptures in full color.

Debut of "Google phone' expected to flood the market this week

Google is expected to call the new year by unveiling its own smartphone on Tuesday, the connection One, in a bid to expand its powerful brand in the booming web mobile arena.

The Internet search and advertising giant has gained the opportunity to market its Android mobile operating system, which featured a phone number beginning with T-Mobile's G1 in October 2008 and more recently Droid from Motorola.

But one connection, designed by Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC, represents a significant departure from that Google is expected to sell Google-branded phone directly to consumers is not tied to any one carrier telecom.

Apple's popular iPhone, for example, is only available in the United States by AT & T, but the buyers of the "Google phone" is reportedly their choice of wireless carriers.

Technology blog Gizmodo, mentioned in the leaked document, said the connection one is worth 530 dollars, "unlocked" - meaning it is not tied to a specific carrier - or 180 dollars on a two-year service agreement with T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Germany with Deutsche Telekom AG.

Google is shy about any plans to go first to the rapidly growing smartphone market, down notes but not showing it in pursuit of illegal.

Inquirer and other media outlets have been invited to a press event on Tuesday in the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, charged only as an "Android press gathering."

"By launching the first Android-powered device just over a year ago, we have seen how a strong, open platform could spur mobile products of change," the invitation said. "And this is only the beginning of what is possible."

Google provided no additional details about the event, the timing appears to be an attempt to upstage the Consumer Electronics Show, the annual technology extravaganza that opens in Las Vegas on January 7.

Among the notes dropped by Google is a blog post last month in which the company said employees of testing is a mobile product in an exercise known in the industry as "dogfooding."

Google's plunge in the smartphone market has thought of a mixed reaction.

"It looks like Google is moving to see if they can do things that Apple," said Rob Enderle ANALYST, the Enderle Group in Silicon Valley, a reference to the iPhone, which has become a wonderful success since it was introduced in 2007.

Pointing to Google's 750Mi$ acquisition of mobile advertising company AdMob in November, a number of analysts said Google hopes to replicate its success of Web advertising in the mobile space.

Not everyone is convinced by the wisdom of moving. "For Google to go into business selling phone just does not make a whole lot of sense," Gartner ANALYST Van Baker said.

"Just from a high-end phone you do not really buy much," Baker said. "I'd be hard pressed to have enough revenue from pushing ads to pay for phone service."

Ovum research fellow Jonathan Yarmis said Google has to walk a fine line between marketing its own smartphone and being supportive partner for the growing number of companies building their own handsets based on Android.

Now the iPhone will have a helicopter for that

A company that makes accessories for cell phone want to add something else to the endless list of things you can do with an iPhone: flying toy helicopter.

International Consumer Electronics(ISE) Showed this week, Paris-based Parrot unveiled its AR.Drone - a plastic and foam helicopter was about a foot long and can be controlled remotely from the screen of the iPhone or iPod Touch. Copter The iPhone connects over Wi-Fi and is equipped with two cameras: one on his belly to calculate the speed of this and other of his nose medium in its field of vision back to screen phone.

Simulate also plans to release games that meld the real world seen by AR.Drone to "expanded reality." This means that the helicopter may appear from the virtual objects like robots on the screen of the iPhone's.

Monkey founder and CEO, Henri Seydoux, thinks the toys will appeal to people because they play it out - something not usually get a video game.

Loro expected to release later in the year AR.Drone. It is not announced a price.

Rolls on new Intel chip that AMD bring on show

Intel Corp on last Thursday the new computer chip circuits in their ability of processors to reduce the company's lead over Advanced Micro Devices Inc. rolled out to highlight.

Intel's new Core chips, the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas at the company's average width of 32 nanometers or smaller parts of a meter 32 billionths of property was first announced.

Transistors - / switches closed slightly above the current electricity - so that chips may be appropriate on this 60 million-per-pin small regulates the flow. This is twice in the same area the previous generation of chips may be appropriate to the number's.

While the changes may be visible with the naked eye, better performance and lower computer prices for consumers in the form of the effects of experience. The ability to add more features and cutting costs from the benefits of the chip manufacturer.

AMD's 32-nanometer chips will not appear until 2011 personal computers. This circuit size is not as important as performance and graphical argues.

Race between Intel and AMD because basically all modern personal computers and microprocessors made all the important PCs "brains" were made by Intel or AMD.

In recent years, AMD, the company focused more games of computers and high-definition video images is so important to say that chips, made graphics performance. To this end, AMD, ATI Technologies, Intel to buy into a market in spite of repeated attempts to break the fight for high-end graphics, to become a player has paid $ 5.6 billion in 2006.

Last month, Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., AMD's ATI graphics division-centric direct result will be a new graphics chip and other heavy trash Nvidia Corp. plans for Intel, silicon and software development delays blamed.

In the meantime, Intel, key business markets such as the help of "netbooks" are branching out as - Stripped-laptop computers, primarily used for surfing the Internet down - and now mobile phones, previously worked for another crack market. Mobile phone chip, but Intel processors generally make less, use less power to suck up.

On Thursday, Intel CEO Paul Otellini, Intel chips and LG Electronics Inc. built this year sales are expected to go in the second half showed a new smart phone. This from the same family of chips Intel sells a processor for netbooks have is the first phone.

With a 4.8 inch screen, LG GW990 is larger than a smart phone standards. He did not Apple Inc. 's iPhone has 3.5-inch screen and Motorola Inc.' s 3.7-inch screen Droid - U.S. LG smart phones are the basis for the upper limit where the phone will be marketed.

Additional processing power for things like video conferencing and high-definition video can be used while playing.

"I really can see the popular five-inch screen," Otellini said in an interview.

Mobile phones in 2006 for $ 600 million to Marvell Technology Group Ltd. The communications chip division had ended with the sale of Intel's previous stab. Time, Intel's financial pain is due to competition from AMD, and therefore can focus on their core activities of these business units were underperforming spillage: personal computers, and sales of chips for servers.

Nokia beats 80 Million services users target

Motorola Inc. plans to make a phone that Google will sell its direct sales channel and cellular device that could potentially sport the Motorola brand, company cell chief Mr.Sanjay Jha said in an interview Wednesday.

Mr.Jha said he sees Google's controversial plan to sell phones directly as another way for Motorola to get its phones to consumers, but noted that Motorola does not get in the business of contract manufacturing.

"One of the following devices in Google will sell to their direct channel will be by us," Jha said in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show. "It is an alternative channel to deliver devices for consumers."
