Sharp will use the IFA to show 3D without glasses technology in portable device screens, maybe you do not talk to again because of the choice made by Nintendo for their next handset.

To make the show more interesting to the public, Sharp has developed a prototype mobile phone that may be based on final model are scheduled for later this year.

To make the experience more complete 3D has added a pair of cameras at the back of the terminal, which also has the added Nintendo 3DS, to take three-dimensional snapshots, so dare not know if the video as the Fujifilm Real 3D W3.

Finally, the HDMI video output also has a version (“1.4?) Prepared to support the flow necessary to display 3D images on the screen outside.

Actual results are not all the ideals we might think, since the samples taken at the show are the videos in low light, where the mobile cameras suffer not to fill the noise content, but the reality is that the whole system work.
Giving out a Parallax Barrier technology

The screen technology used to dispense glasses is known as Parallax Barrier, which we were able to describe for a few weeks ago to compare the option with the lenticular Sharp DoCoMo. An interesting feature is that the 3D effect is switched off.

Panels are being developed ranging from 3 inches, suitable for a mobile phone, to 10 inches, more interesting for a possible 3D tablet. Specifically at the fair is a 3.8 inches for the phone with 800 × 480 pixels resolution in 2D mode (400 × 480 in 3D), and 10.6 inches.

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab and we finally have a real opponent for the IPAD. I mean opponent because they look like and real public because that Samsung has the Galaxy Tab is already a statement of intent that the tablets with Android have arrived. Another thing is if they do at the right time or properly.

While Samsung is defined tablet more like a smart phone that grows on screen to increase their capabilities, the IPAD Apple itself raised the concept of tablet for content consumption, Internet browsing and casual communication. In other words, the Galaxy Tab Pocket Excel and IPAD are out of it.

Hardware, two different ideas

Surely, and much to say, the physical part of the Galaxy Tab and IPAD are the party who have more in common. Both teams lost occupy an area between the phones and smaller laptops. We could even evaluate them as ultra mature, always with nuance.

Beyond the occupied area, the size of the screens is the first encounter between the IPAD and Samsung Galaxy Tab. The first bet on a square screen of about 10 inches and 1024 × 768 pixels that surely will soon be improved through incorporation into the next generation of Retinal Display panel.

Samsung’s model runs on seven inches and is very similar resolution, 1024 x 600 pixels. They have opted for a landscape screen format seems to me more successful and comfortable when holding it with one hand. Samsung has missed what is to place a much better screen, SuperAMOLED for example, to highlight and improve how it will look the same outdoors, as the Galaxy Tab is more focused on out for a walk.

With a similar thickness, the Samsung wins Galaxy Tab weight by a landslide: 380 compared with more than 700 3G IPAD model equivalent. Undoubtedly one of the strengths of the tablet from Samsung, that even with 7 “type very well maintained.

In the absence of firsthand fluency Android operating Galaxy 2.2 Samsung, Apple processor and the Cortex A8 A4 walk on par in speed but the control that Apple makes the software processor promises better experience with the IPAD .

Physical connections must give mini dot Samsung to include a slot for micro SD memory card for expanding the available capacity of 16 and 32 GB standard. As it has not chosen to place the USB port or TV output via HDMI. Apple obviously does not have it in your IPAD.

Samsung also improves the current IPAD Galaxy Tab to the camera, mostly because the tablet is not Apple. There are two, a front for videoconferencing and other major to take pictures, something that few people think when they see the Galaxy Tab.
Connectivity, each strip to his side

Connectivity At the back there are many differences. The Galaxy Tab Samsung has WiFi only version and bet on the 3G home. Enhance its use as a voice communication and SMS is one of its purposes, so there was no other option.

WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity are raised to the maximum power the Samsung model with the bet on the n-type 3.0 respectively. IPAD is much higher than in the ability of bluetooth, not limited. The Apple tablet wins but the inclusion of GPS. Autonomy in both endures the same thing.

Applications and operating system, the crux of the matter

More or less open, more or less in design or connectivity, the really important of these tablets are the applications. And that Apple currently has the upper hand. Your IOS has been adapted very well to IPAD, while with Android are all questions to ask

But there are two other important factors. One is the developers, who feel much more comfortable (once accepted the terms of Apple), at the time of developing a platform for controlled and which has long shown that applications work and make money. On the other hand, there is separation between applications for the iPhone and those that are for the IPAD, something vital.

Android and therefore the Galaxy Tab Samsung will have the advantage and disadvantage at the same time it is used in several different computers. And the openness of its solution, but may have made the mistake of starting the race without having the car ready.

Ultimately, the consumer is feeling that Apple had it all thought with the release of IPAD while tablets with Android are currently an experiment in search of luck and support from developers. With Honeycomb could change history.

Guidance Natural Navteq makes easier the GPS instructions Sure that like me, many times have you been fool-faced when the GPS indicated that you should turn at 200 meters. Depending on the sensitivity and good performance of the GPS and this diversion could have happened. Natural Navteq Guidance is a solution that we proposed mapping company to have more colloquial instructions to follow when a GPS. The operation of the new instructions will look more like we usually give people and references are associated with a bank, a kiosk or a traffic signal. References in distance to be forgotten and we will hear: turn right after the supermarket XXX. This new way of giving directions from Navteq and has recorded a few cities, including Berlin, Chicago, London, New York and Paris. It aims to expand this system to major cities worldwide by the end of 2011.
