Nexus One's hardware's cost estimated to be $175

Upcoming Google Nexus One smart phone consists of shares worth about $ 175, according to a tear down of the iSuppli.

The new phone, which Google unveiled, offers a less developed by Google and the external design of HTC. The main interface is a 3.7-inch AMOLED display. The Nexus One runs Google Android operating system 2.1, and WVGA display appeared 3G graphics.

While Google has priced at Nexus One at $ 179 with a two-year T-Mobile service plan ($ 529 without the subscription plan), the phone numbers of the material for $ 174.15, according to iSuppli analysis, which was posted Friday. The report stated that his plan does not include other costs such as production, packaging and software.

"Things like that durable unibody construction, a blazingly fast Snap Dragon base band processor and bright and sharp Active Matrix Organic Light-emitting Diode (AMOLED) displays all have seen on previous phones, but never before combined in one design," Kevin Keller Senior Specialist in iSuppli, said in a statement.

Most animals in the 17-bit in HTC-built phone is 1 GHz Qualcomm Snap Dragon's processor, which rings in at $ 30.50, or 20 percent of plan iSuppli Bill of materials. Snap Dragon debuted in February 2009 in Toshiba TG01, which is based on Windows Mobile. But iSuppli found ARM-based processor to be better in the new Nexus One.

The Android 2.1 operating system is used in the Nexus One better capitalizes on fast performance Snap Dragon is, the user interface and applications run very fast, "Keller said." This processing muscle also gives Nexus One key capabilities, especially the high-definition 720p video playback. "

Next expensive component is Samsung's 3.7-inch AMOLED display, which lists at $ 23.50. iSuppli notes that the AMOLED technology appears before the Samsung's Android-based I7500 with a 3.2-inch AMOLED touch screen.

"The 3.7-inch AMOLED display at Nexus One delivers a stunning picture," Keller said.

Rounding out the three most expensive part in the Nexus One is Samsung's 4Gbit (512MB) of DDR DRAM, which costs $ 20.40, or about 11 percent of the estimated cost iSuppli today. iSuppli notes that comparable smart phones generally contain not more than 2Gbits of DRAM, but to increase the memory to allow for better application performance.


The Kepler Telescope: Planet-hunting telescope from NASA unearths hot Mysteries

New Planet NASA's-hunting telescope has found two puzzling things that are too hot to be planets and too small to be stars.

The Kepler Telescope, launched in March discovered two new himneska body, which circa ling his own star. Telescope chief scientist Bill Borucki at NASA says the shares are thousands of degrees hotter than the stars they circle. That means they are probably not planet. They are bigger and hotter than planets in our solar system, including Dwarf planets.

"The Universe, but the strange things stranger than we can think of in our imagination," said Jon Morse, head of Astro-physics for NASA.

The new findings do not quite fit into any definition known Astronomical objects, and so far have not indexing their own. Information on the mystery objects were presented Monday at a meeting of American Astronomical Society in Washington.

For now, NASA research Jason Rowe, who found the items, he said, calling them "hot companions."

How hot? Try 26,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is hot enough to melt lead and iron.

There are two main theories about how things could be and the theories cover both ends of Cosmic life cycle:

Rowe suggests that they are newly born planet. New planets have very high temperatures, and in this case, Rowe speculates they could be only about 200 million years old.

Ronald Gilli Land of the Space Telescope Science Institute said that they could be white dwarf stars that are dying and stripping of the outer shell and shrink.

The main focus of three of Kepler telescope is year project is to find out how common other planets - especially Earth-like planets - in the universe are. To do so, it is scanning a small chunk of heaven, one four-hundredth the night sky with more than 150,000 stars to search for planets.

The telescope in only six weeks, found the first five confirmed planets, slightly more than astronomers expected of the quick search. There are hundreds of other applicants who require confirmation.

Five planets are much larger than Earth, much closer to their stars than Earth is to the sun, and far too hot for life, Borucki said. A couple of these planets are close to 3000 degrees.

"If we look at them is like looking at Blast Furnace," Borucki said. "Of course, no place to look for life."

One newly discovered planet is so Airy that "it has density Styrofoam," Borucki said.

"It is going to be all kinds of weird stuff out there," said Alan Boss of Carnegie Institution in Washington, who was not part of the research. "This is óviðjafnanlega data set. Universe really is amazing place. It is fantastic."
