The two companies do not need no introduction: Samsung is one of the largest manufacturers of hardware, personal computers and laptops, tablets, smart phones, consumer electronics and display, and Corning has developed the world’s most famous glass protection in the world, Gorilla Glass , adopted by smartphone and tablet top of the range, and recently came to the second generation . Now, thanks to the joint venture between these two giants, announced in a joint press release , may soon come to market new OLED screens made ??of glass.

The Korean company is in fact one of the largest developers of this technology, which stands for Organic Light Emitting Diod, which also uses extensively in its Galaxy range of devices, such as the Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet or smartphone Galaxy S II and is rapidly expanding on the market, so as to assume for the near future the advent of TV with this technology, no longer confined only to handheld devices. In anticipation of the boom and then the two companies decided to pool their know-how in order to be ready to produce these innovative glass substrates for OLED future.

According to a recent report by the NPD fact DisplaySearch, OLED technology has advanced very rapidly during 2011, marking a trend that will continue into the next decade. Analysts have therefore assumed that the OLED display revenue will exceed $ 4 billion in 2011 (about 4% of the worldwide market for video panels) to reach 20 billion by 2018, or approximately 16% of ‘ entire industrial production of panels.

This is short of a first step towards the future based on transparent screens and thin, 3D ready and strong and unbreakable, just from Corning shown these days in an impressive concept video in which he imagines the different uses, from handheld to the thin glass windows, balconies and cars, able to become opaque to preserve the privacy, then return to command transparent or time, or by detecting the brightness of the environment outside.

But goes beyond Corning, imagining the use as mirrors touch sensitive, for example to manage their wardrobe, inside cars, where it could simulate different types of bridge, depending on what is needed at the moment, such as covers and extraresistenti highly-efficient solar panels and even at school, where he would replace both the board that the bank, which thus becomes fully multimedia, ending in hospitals, for the most diverse, including a futuristic magnetic resonance completely transparent, capable of displaying the three-dimensionally results and to be used at full touch.

SmartPad 715C differs from SmartPad 800 both for the technical configuration, hardware and software, and for both design. The new tablet Mediacom has, in fact, a 7-inchmultitouch touchscreen with 16:9 resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and is powered by an ultra-low power proncessore BoxChip A10, based on ARM Cortex A8 core 1.2GHz, with 1GB DDR3 memory RAM and 4GB of internal memory, expandable through microSD cards (max up to 32GB).

The operating system is sempe Android, but in its latest version (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) with a new graphical interface even more intuitive. The equipment is completed by a module WiFi 802.11b/g/n, HDMI port to connect the tablet to a TV enabling movie playback in Full HD (1080p), audio jack, a mini-USB port and microphone. Mediacom SmartPad 715C weighs just 345 grams and measures 197 × 11.2 × 120 mm with lithium polymer battery 4000mAh.

Suitable for playing video, music and photos, Mediacom SmartPad 715c provides both download and use applications and games through SlideMe, but also a smooth navigation on the Internet, checking e-mail, watch videos on YouTube or just chat and video call your friends, thanks to the integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam.

Preorder since yesterday on the official Nokia shop at a price of 499 euros (VAT included),Lumia Nokia 800 is the smartphone in white with elegant design and trendy in its new color, is getting ready for summer.

With Nokia Lumia 800 White, based on operating system Windows Phone 7.5, the summer will be even more social and instant access to social networks you can share with their friends the adventures, pictures and HD videos captured with extraordinary Carl Zeiss quality lenses. The smartphone features a 3.7 inch AMOLED display with curved ClearBlacktechnology, which fits perfectly with the design, a 1.4 GHz processor and a hardware-accelerated graphics, 16 GB of internal memory and access to Microsoft SkyDrive to store images and music.

Drive with Nokia, a true personal navigation device (PND) Free turn-by-turn directions, also available on the Nokia 800 White Lumia, find your way will be a breeze and the journey to your destination will have the background songs from Nokia Music and MixRadio, free streaming music applications. Furthermore, by integrating Internet Explorer 9 will be possible not only to surf the waves, but more quickly, even in the network, logging in with a simple touch to the 55,000 applications available on Windows Marketplace.

A photo of an attractive device is circulating on the Net arousing the interest of fans. From what little we understand, Nokia Champagne may be the first tablet of the Finnish company or a new netbook. The information we have is still very small and, these days, it will be easy to attend to real speculation. The photos of Nokia Champagne, which seems to have been spread by a certain “professeur thibault” shows a device characterized by a high-gloss finish and curved lines and soft.

The possibility that this is a new Nokia solution is remote since the company has recently made ??known to be working on a prototype to show to the next Nokia Connection 2012 is scheduled for the summer. There are also those who argue that the photos portray simply a Nokia Booklet 3G , a mini laptop released several years ago and equipped with the Microsoftoperating system Windows 7. But this second hypothesis is less convincing although the design of the device pictured above has elements in common with Nokia Booklet.

Additional assumptions on the Finnish giant would like to work on a new smartphone ortablet-type clamshell convertible netbook. In the coming weeks could be branched further information that will help us add new details to the puzzle. For now we leave you in the company of the famous shot. What do you think?

We talked about it in very difficult times , even when the netbook Cedar Trail were not available on the market. Today, Packard Bell has announced the renewal of its netbook, called the Packard Bell dot s_C, similar in design to an Acer Aspire One D270 with Intel Atom Cedar Trail. Unlike some competing models, Packard Bell dot s_C can take full advantage of the hardware platform on which it is based. Adopting an Intel Atom N2600dual core 1.6GHz with Hyper-Threading, the new Packard Bell netbook is able to reduce consumption and temperatures, despite the small size of the ventilation grille.

The CPU Cedarview is accompanied by 1GB of DDR3 RAM, the maximum capacity allowed forWindows 7 Starter Edition, and a 320GB hard drive. The graphics component is assigned to the integrated graphics Intel GMA 3600 which, through the HDMI port, able to manage and play full HD video on a monitor or on an external television. The LCD has an LED backlit10.1-inch diagonal and a resolution WSVGA (1024 x 600 pixels).

The equipment is completed by a 3-megapixel VGA webcam, SD card reader, 802.11n WiFi module, Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, three USB 2.0 ports but no USB 3.0 port, VGA output and audio jacks. The 6-cell 4400mAh battery provides a Packard Bell dot s_C a range of about 8 hours. It weighs 1.3Kg and a thickness of 24 mm, the new Packard Bell netbook will be marketed by the end of March

Raspberry Pi could be available by the end of the month. Initially, the low-cost microPC was expected by the end of 2011. A series of problems in production forced the company to make the launch postponed to January , but this date was not met. According to the latest statements of the company by February 20, should be made ??available to the first 10,000 units of Raspberry Pi, which will “test” the market.

Raspberry Pi is a mini-computer equipped with an ARM processor-based Broadcom BCM2835low-power (here’s a. pdf of study) in combination with an operating system derived fromLinux. Despite the presence of 128 MB of SRAM memory, a card reader SD / MMC / SDIO, USB and an Ethernet port, the size of the PC are comparable to those of a USB stick. Clearly this is a particular solution, dedicated to specific market niches, but definitely flexible and versatile.

The very low cost (about 17 euros in the basic version) makes it an ideal system for those who want to have a computer that can also play video at 1080p and some video game in 3D.Probably the most interesting application is as a media center. We recall in this connection, how to install a customized copy of XBMC, said RaspBMC , Raspberry Pi makes a perfect tool for media management.

Recall also that Raspberry includes several modules including support for streaming files over your home network, the connection to Apple AirPlay , and several features for digital video recording. In short, a little has a very small price.

The Toshiba Tablet AT200, also known as Excite , has undoubtedly aroused much interest at the official presentation took place in last year’s IFA in Berlin. The date of its commercialization has been delayed several times even though, at least the latest information in our possession , should be available this month in the first samples. In the meantime, was published by TabTech.de an interesting unboxing video where you can discover more than design and funding.

The box, black with the image of the tablet in the foreground, is decidedly simple and compact. Just opened, it turns out once the tablet Toshiba AT200, protected by an enclosure made of laminated paper. There are several documents and a manual full-bodied. On the right side of the pack, the charger slot is found that a cable for data connection. The focus shifts, as expected, the Toshiba tablet, characterized by a glossy and reflective, is on display the entire cover.

The device is extremely thin, sinuous, elegant and attractive. The weight is quite convincing: we recall that Toshiba AT200 weighs about 558 grams. The manufacturer’s logo is clearly visible in the back of the cover, lower left. Below is a rundown of the ports and interfaces available. On one side are placed the HDMI output, card reader, headphone jack and a USB port. The glossy display is combined with a webcam, whose goal is easily visible at the top of the frame.

The video continues with the lighting of the tablet and the launch of the operating systemGoogle Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The sensitivity of the screen (10.1 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels) seems excellent since lag does not identify worthy of note.

The Samsung Series 9 laptops are certainly among the most beautiful and fascinating thin market, and have caught the attention and imagination of many people since their debut last year. But the Korean company has not rested on its laurels and the latest edition of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2012 it showed a refresh , which improves the previous version in every aspect, thickness and performance of all, while retaining unchanged the innovative lines that did emerge on the world.

We find, therefore, still shell duralumin, an aviation source material, much stronger than the common aluminum and at the same time lighter. The lines are always the same sinuous and seductive, which made ??famous the first version of this notebook . The finish is brushed, while the color can be black anodized or natural aluminum color. Samsung, however, is able to reduce even more the thickness and now the 15-inch version measures just 14.9 mm,while the 13-inch stands even to 13 mm, with a weight slightly higher per kilo.

Existing versions are two, essentially distinct from the diagonal of the display, exactly equal to 13.3 and 15.6 inches respectively. Then disappears over the first generation 11-inch version in favor of one to 15. The display is always of the SuperBright Plus, with a contrast of 1300:1 and a luminance of 400 nits, values ??much higher than those of standard notebook displays, and thus able to ensure very high image quality, but the resolution is up from the first version of now both models pososno count on HD + resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. Moreover, thanks to Max Screen, you could be integrated panels as well as wider chassis, more compact, for example, the 15-inch model in a 14-inch shell.

Even the touchpad now has a larger surface area and type of multitouch. Samsung has also worked on the hardware platform, now even more powerful, comprehensive and fast. In fact, both models have the same configuration, with dual core Intel Core i5-2467M 1.60 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and an SSD of 128 GB, even with the support of Samsung ExpressCachetechnology makes it possible to get out of stand-by mode in less than 2 seconds and start the machine in about 10 seconds.

Complete the equipment of this thin & light the backlit keyboard to isolated elements, lithium-Polymer battery integrated with charging technology Samsung, which allows an average life of up to three times higher than a traditional laptop, 1.3 Mpixel, audio system with 3 W stereo speakers each, with SRS Wow to improve output, Gigabit LAN, WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0 and 3.0, multi microSD card slot, HDMI, DisplayPort and audio jacks for microphone and headphone combo.

Samsung has also worked on the details, including considering a range of adapters to take advantage of other types of connections, so as to expand the interfacing of its ultra-thin Series 9, while even the house of high fashion, Renato Balestra, has made the ’exclusive custody. But the package of pre-installed software is rich and Samsung, among others, includes utilities EasyFileShare, to share in a simple and fast all the files you want with other compatible devices on the same network, but also the new EasyMigration, instead allows a rapid and complete backup of sensitive data from old to new noetbook, so as to quickly find everything you need after a migration.

The new portable Samsung Series 9 will be available from March 2012, at a cost of $ 1,399 for the 13.3-inch version and $ 1,499 for the 15 inch.

During CES in Las Vegas held in January were shown two new technologies that open up interesting and unusual scenarios for gaming on tablets, specially for those of new generation, based on Nvidia Tegra SoC 3, one of the most powerful ever among those available on the market. The benchmark results shown in the past months had already revealed the potential of these devices based on the system on a chip of the Green Team, confirmed also by the boom of titles in development for this hardware platform.

Thanks to the technical characteristics of which has, in fact, Tegra 3 is now able to offer a gaming experience comparable to that of the last generation consoles like Sony PlayStation 2and Microsoft XBox. However, the flexibility of these devices was still lower than that offered by the console, allowing for example to play in more people, both online and locally.So far at least. Yeah, because what we saw last Consumer Electronics Show has dropped even these limits residues.

In particular we refer to the possibility of playing on up to 8 players via WiFi and Games SplashTop Plus, an app that turns your tablet into a remote controller to handle games well rendered on a desktop or notebook. Both demos were shown on a tablet Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime , based sull’accoppiata own Google Android and Nvidia Tegra 3. So the first demo showed the ability to play multiplayer, up to a maximum of eight, with the same title, ShadowGun, using the WiFi connection.

First Asus used for testing was then in turn connected to a larger display via HDMI, showing the final result, ie a game with a console-quality graphics, which ran smoothly at 60 frames per second, thanks to the ability to Tegra 3.

Regarding the second issue has worked with Nvidia to optimize SplashTop Games Plus app that allows you to connect wirelessly just a tablet to a notebook or desktop computer, then using it as a remote controller.

Even in this case was used Asus Prime Transformer, while the game in question was The Elder Scroll’s IV: Skyrim. The controller worked very well, transmits commands smoothlywithout lag or slowdown, despite the WiFi connection. So now seems increasingly clear that the tablet could soon become the console of the future: in fact the last exceeded limits related to hardware and more new features are implemented there is nothing to curb the spread. The developers seem to believe more and more consumers and the public likes the solution. The traditional console must therefore begin to tremble?
