How low can a smartphone price go?

According to news reports , Mozilla, the non-profit created by Netscape Communications (purveyor of the world’s first Internet Browser—barring Mosiac its progenitor) in early 1998 is now setting its sights on phone dominance in India through the introduction of a phone so cheaply priced that it belies imagination. In an almost earth-shattering revelation, Mozilla announced several months ago  that it would be introducing phones based on its HTML5 web-based mobile operating system for a rock-bottom US$25, and now, just a few days ago, revealed that the plan would be kickstarted in India via an arrangement with Indian companies Index and Spice who would make the phones. So far, Mozilla has launche d several low-cost smartphones with Firefox OS onboard, including the US $100 ZTE Open C and the company will release the Alcatel One Touch Fire E and the ZTE Open II this summer. These phones haven't exactly set the world on fire in Europe and the United States according to reports and

A tablet holder for using your device in bed

There are times when I just want to lie in bed and surf random YouTube channels on my phone or tablet, but it's impossible to hold the device above my head for a prolonged period (we've all been there, right?). Luckily, I stumbled upon this neat kit in Shenzhen one day: a swing-arm tablet holder by some random brand called Usiabu , and it only cost me CN¥80 or $13, as it was from a wholesale dealer (retail price is around $25 in Hong Kong, and Amazon's start from around $30). As you can tell from the price, this product doesn't involve any groundbreaking technology: you've probably already come across desk lamps that use this type of spring-loaded mechanism. Installation is simple: secure the c-clamp mounting base onto the edge of a desk, insert the steel arm via its rotation pin and mount the plastic tablet bracket onto the dual-axis pivot for 180-degree vertical and 360-degree rotation. The arm stretches to about 90cm -- which is sufficient -- and the tablet brac

How Firefox OS smartphones from Intex and Spice are set to redefine market

A new front in India's entry-level smartphone market has opened up with local handset makers launching Firefox-powered devices. Intex Technologies and Spice, the Indian partners of US-headquartered Mozilla Corp, have launched smartphones based on the Firefox operating system at a time when local rivals Micromax and Karbonn are preparing to roll out affordable smartphones under the Google's Android One project. Spice brought out its Fire One handset priced Rs 2,229, four days after Intex introduced Intex Cloud FX, priced Rs 1,999. Both players plan to roll out improved devices based on this web technology-based platform. Fire One allows users to access apps directly without having to download them from an app store, like in Android phones. It also supports features like 'Adaptive App Search' or the 'Single-window Search', allowing users to find relevant information and apps immediately . Prashant Bindal, chief executive officer of Spice Mobility, said the company

Samsung unveils necklace-shaped earphones

After unveiling its Samsung Gear S smartwatch, Samsung had one more thing to show us: Earphones that join together to form a necklace that vibrates when someone calls you. The Samsung Gear Circle can be paired with a smartphone to receive calls and listen to music, similar to existing high-end earphones and headsets. But one thing that is new about the headset is its magnetic locking system, which turns the earphones into a vibrating necklace when they're not in use. Pairing the Gear Circle to a smarpthone via Bluetooth will allow you to give voice commands and take calls using the headphones, which fit around your neck as a necklace when not in use. While there's no word yet on the device's availability in the US, Samsung has announced that the Gear Circle will begin rolling out in international markets in October. Pricing details are yet to be announced.

Do you Know who is the inventor of email?

August 30, 2019 37th Anniversary of E-mail The credit goes to an Indian-American VA Shiva Ayyadurai who received official recognition as the inventor of the computer program for electronic mail system from the US government August 30, 1982. Studying at Livingston High School in New Jersey, Ayyadurai began his work on the email system for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. In 1978, he developed a full-scale emulation of the interoffice mail system which he called "E-mail" and copyrighted in 1982. At that time, copyright was the equivalent of a patent as there was no other way to protect software inventions, Huffington Post reported. Based on his work, Ayyadurai won a Westinghouse Science Talent Search Award for high school seniors in 1981. The official US copyright notice for "E-mail" is now with the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History (SINMAH).

Radar For Your Bike Gives You Long-Range Eyes On The Back Of Your Head

When you're riding a bike, the world is an endless barrage of obstacles, hazards, and other vehicles sharing the road you need to avoid. Mirrors let you keep an eye on what's going on behind your cycle, but the Backtracker promises to spot vehicles up to 450 feet away using radar, and warn you to get out of the way when they're approaching a little too fast. The system actually uses two devices strapped to your bike that work in unison. The radar transmitter mounts to the back of your seat and provides an additional visual warning to drivers that intensifies the closer they get. And an LED indicator mounts to the bike's handlebars, providing a visual indication of how fast a vehicle is approaching from behind, and a warning if the rider needs to get out of the way just to be safe. The Backtracker's creators have turned to crowdfunding to help raise the $226,000 needed to put their device into production. And if successful, they expect it to retail for around $2

A Tiny Printer That Spits Out Whatever's On Your IPhone's Screen

A smartphone in your hand can replace a wallet full of paper notes and receipts, but there are still times when a printed copy of what's on your phone can be handy; whether it be for sharing a map with someone, or following an online recipe without getting your device dirty. And that's exactly why this tiny printer that makes hard copies of your iPhone's screen could be a wonderful accessory. Using a Wi-Fi connection to your iPhone, King Jim's $160 Rolto printer uses a free accompanying app to ensure that exactly what you see on screen is reproduced on its tiny roll of thermal paper-even if the document or website has to be scrolled. Printing online receipts seems to be its most useful feature, but think how often you've had to transcribe something off your phone and you'll realize there's actually a lot of potential for this little thing.

Samsung's Three-Headed Micro USB Cable Charges Three Gadgets At Once

It's not uncommon to leave the house with a bag full of gadgets that will probably need a charge at some point during the day. So you can either bring an assortment of cables with you, let your devices all fight over a single charger, or wait until Samsung's new three-headed micro USB charging cable is finally available. For $40 (available soon) the single cable splits a two-amp charge across multiple devices depending on how many of the micro USB connectors are being used. If all three are connected to devices, they'll each receive 667mA of power and all charge at once, albeit slower than normal. If you only connect two devices they'll each receive a single amp, and if you only connect one it will be able to gorge on all the power. [ Samsung via Android Community ]
