According to the stats revealed by various sources, RAZR MAXX boasts an impressive eight hours and twenty five minutes. On part of Motorola’s 4G Droidzilla, it is a huge achievement where it has beaten many of its other competitors which, despite being 3G, cannot match MAXX’s battery life. 4G LTE phones are notorious for their short battery life. In some phones, this battery life does not even have the power to last more than four hours. In speed however, these 4G LTE phones are blazing fast as compared to their 3G counterparts. Despite the high speed, ridiculously weak battery life was a prize consumers were not prepared to pay.

For months now, manufacturers have been experimenting with the different forms of lithium batteries, trying to eke more power out of it. Motorola, by no means the first mover in this regard has come on top. With smartphones getting slimmer and slimmer everyday, decreased battery life was a problem that came with the sleek devices. Motorola however, has been able to pack a mind boggling 3,300 mAH battery in its (still) razor thin RAZR MAXX.

Motorola was one company which was facing massive competition from left, right and centre. They have certainly upped their game with a series of impressive Android devices after which, the company finds itself in the league of the big players which include several notable smartphone manufacturers.

According to several news reports, the release of Samsung Galaxy SIII is expected in the first quarter of 2012. With that being just around the corner, Android fans are avidly waiting for the big news.  To date, Galaxy SI and SII have been the most powerful devices to have come out of Samsung’s factory and both of these phones have given Apple’s much hyped iPhone a tough competition. Many neutral sources even ranked Samsung’s Galaxy a mark above the iPhone. The Galaxy series of Samsung has received a very encouraging response.

Although Samsung’s Galaxy SIII was rumoured to be released in the first quarter of 2012 but the latest reports have hinted that Korean company does not plan to go ahead with the launching of the phone until April. Some of the other rumours regarding the specifications of the phone make it very clear that SIII will definitely be the most powerful machine thus far. With a 12 MP camera and a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, SIII might just claim the biggest chunk of market share once it is released. Its mammoth HD screen, which is one of the most praised features of its predecessor SII, already has many raving for the upcoming mega device.

All the specifications of SIII and even the release date are still unconfirmed but Samsung has the knack of surprising people. We will have to wait and see just how pleasant SIII’s surprise will be for Android fans.

Our clients cannot be pried out from their computers in order for us to work on what it is needed and having a centralized place from where to work reduces both costs and effort. This is why the idea of mobile remote support is so basic that is almost taken for granted at this point. This is also why it is so estrange that even when sometimes most of the work is done on a mobile device; the idea of smartphone remote support has not caught on as strongly.

Think about it, the same ideas that applied to needing a remotely based support are exacerbated on a smartphone. The remote access for mobiles phones is a must if our clients are with their “computers” (incidentally shaped like phones) most of the time. If something goes wrong or if is that time to change anything, a visit or a drop-off can become a nightmare. Smartphone remote support is a technology that can save IT professionals and their clients many headaches and most importantly; money.

Now, the idea in itself seems grandiose but in order to achieve actual remote access for mobile phones, the “access” part is always a complication. The number of combinations between the mobile device’s OS and the operator’s computer can be an interesting number game for lunch. The fact is that when using smartphone remote support the service that you rely on must be able to handle all OS’s be it mobile or not.  Thankfully, the services available get rid of this issue with comprehensive multi-platform support and other perks. Remember that not everyone in the company is going to be confortable with a single smartphone and as long as we are not dealing with public officials, most people like to have only one device for all of their needs.

I’d like to think that smartphone remote support will become a basic fixture in all of the IT’s agendas very quickly. As I mentioned before, it is a powerful tool which has already become more than the standard for the industry in all other types of devices. Remote access for mobile phones should start to be regarded in the same way and in that manner save us all from the inconveniences that we’ve already surpassed on devices which are not smartphones.

The first step they think is to insert on-board computer in car through which all other accessories can be connected. Right now, there are some high-end cars, which have on-board computers that are connected to internet and help drivers to know about traffic tie-ups ahead. However, now Ford has invented three sample apps that would help people with chronic diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, asthma and other allergy disorders. In order to make these apps work, Ford has incorporated health-monitoring apps such as glucose monitoring device, and so on. According to technical leader of Ford, people already use voice recognition system to use their cell phones, select music and control car features like opening and closing windows and turning headlights on and off. What Ford wants to do is to extend the capability of car’s platform and include wellness features.

The representative also commented that some people might consider car as an odd place to keep track of health. However, the facts and figures show that Americans almost spend 230 million hours a week in their cars, so it does make sense for them to keep track of their health. WellDoc is a health monitoring system, which helps patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases. The car simply logs on to the system and checks the sugar level and advice the driver according to the specialized doctors about precautions he should take immediately. Similarly, the allergy apps logs on to GPS check the local pollen count and suggest the driver to take action.

The new OmniTouch device works by combining a miniature projector and an infrared depth camera. The motive of inventors of this device was to end the dependence on touch screens, keys or buttons, instead invent a device, which can almost transform any surface into the interactive screen. The OmniTouch is capable of doing things automatically by using camera to get in depth information and construct a 3D model. Camera do so by emitting a patterned beam of infrared light and use the reflections to calculate the position of surfaces in the room.

The OmniTouch is capable of rebuilding the whole model dynamically as the surface or user moves. The size, shape and position of projection also changes and improvise themselves according to the available surfaces. The new prototype is also capable of monitoring anything cylindrical and finger sized to determine that the user is interacting with the screen or not.

The biggest technological advancement in this device is that the user can use the projected screen normally as touch screen is used. User can easily scroll and zoom the pictures or other things like it is done in normal touch screen of mobile or tablet.

Most of the critics are positive about the technology used in OmniTouch, but they are surly critical about its shoulder mounted status. They are of the view that the technology should be made more sophisticated in order to amaze the world with the technological advancements. The OmniTouch will roll in market when its wholesale production and prototype version is quality and performance passed.

Although the application can be used in Britain, it should really prove its salt when users are abroad. It’s powered by Wi-Fi service Boingo, which includes over a million hotspots worldwide. These hotspots include public areas like airports, hotels, bars and restaurants.

It also appears to be very straightforward to operate, you don’t have to continually add your card details every time you log in and the charges are not allegedly for a prepaid chunk of data or time. Instead, the application tells you how much it will cost you to log on and you can spend as much data or time on that connection as you want. You pay by the minute.

There have been plenty of horror stories connected with consumers unwittingly drumming up obscene roaming charges abroad in recent years. Although some telcos have a built in cap which kicks in if the user strays over a paying threshold, there are many reported instances and situations which have become extremely costly.

Users would need a Skype account to use it, and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 4.1. The application is free from the Apple Store, and connection prices vary from country to country. At the time of writing, Spain, US and UK all start at 3p per minute but the average rate is 11p a minute. Users who buy cheap PAYG mobiles to go abroad with to avoid data roaming can now rethink their strategy.

The carbon monoxide an odorless, silent and lethal gas known as silent killer is capable poisoning the victim without noticing. According to figures, this gas has caused more than 2000 poisoning incidents per year.  Most of the incidents are unintentional and can create symptoms of flu. Mainly the appliances fueled with kerosene, wood, oil or gas can produce this gas if defective or used improperly.

The new technology is called “All-Cell” and if enabled in phone can pick up any threat and warns about the threat. The user have three response options such as calling emergency contacts, setting off an alarm to alarm the phone owner or it can directly call emergency services like 911. Direct integration of this chip in smart phones is be expected to be start within a year or two and will soon become like mobile cameras. With this technology the risk of any terrorist attack including chemical gas attack will be minimized to zero as it will efficiently sense the gas and alarm the people.

Currently there are many static sensors deployed on various locations but their effectiveness is not praised. However with the ever wide network of smart phones everywhere, the negative intentions of people will be minimized to zero and once again people will be able to live in peace and harmony. According to the manufacturers of this chip, the chip can detect and warn in 60 seconds, which seems to be a most protective technology ever built.

Almost every bank in Pakistan is now providing mobile phone banking services to its customers but still they are unable to attract the customers towards mobile phone banking. People in Pakistan don’t even like to pay their bills through their mobile phones and avail the service which can save their useful time. There are a lot of reasons why mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan don’t go for mobile phone banking services. The very first reason is that people do not have complete information about the mobile phone banking. Even after watching ads on television and newspapers they are unable to understand it completely. Why they don’t understand mobile phone banking is because they are least interested in it.

The next and the most important reason is that people in Pakistan do not trust mobile phone banking and they fear to bear any loss due to it. Pakistan is a developing country, unemployment rate is high and a lot of people are living their life below the poverty line. So, people in Pakistan avoid any kind of financial risk and in the sake of avoiding a financial risk they avoid mobile phone banking.

Banks, Cellular Mobile Operating companies and PTA need to create more awareness among people that mobile phone banking is secure and beneficial as it saves a lot of useful time. Only then mobile phone banking could become famous in Pakistan other than that it will take a lot of time to make people understand mobile phone banking and attract them towards it.
