Mobile Marketing, Bluetooth, Fotokody, Kampanie SMS | MobileMarketing.pl Technology News and Opinion on The Huffington Post Flexible, Paper-Like Tablet Computers Work Together To Make Computing More Like Shuffling Papers There's a lot of consumer electronics news flooding out of CES in Las Vegas this week, but one of the more interesting technology stories we're seeing is trickling out of Ontario, Canada, where Queen's University researchers working with partners in the UK as well as at Intel Labs and Plastic Logic have developed a tablet computer that is both paper-thin and flexible. And while we've seen concept prototypes for flexible e-ink screens and the like previously, what's most intriguing about the so-called PaperTab is the user interface. The idea behind PaperTab isn't to make your iPad flexible, but to rethink the way we use tablet computers--and to make them more like the actual pieces of paper we shuffle around our desks. Rather than relying on buttons or swipe gestures, PaperTabs respond to the flexing of the actual screen in certain ways--bend the right side of the display to page forward and the left side to page backward, for instance.

Blog de Tecnología y Gadgets. TecnoCosas Asus Eee Reader DR900 - First impression, photos and video - EeePC.it *UPDATE* The ASUS DR900 is one of the first e-reader provided with a touchscreen capacitive screen. I have heard about the product more than one year ago, in August 2009, so there are lots of expectations on the product. The device is a 9” screen electronic reader, endowed with a Wifi (there is also a version with 3G but it is not available now in the market). In spite of a 9” diagonal screen (longer than the standard e-readers in the market) the size of the DR900 is comparable to a standard book (222 X 161 X 9.7 mm), due to the lack of a physical keyboard which is replaced here by a virtual keyboard thanks to the touchscreen capability. The size of the screen is perfect: you cannot easily read newspapers or professional papers with a 6” screen; and the weight of the DR900 is 3 oz. less than the 9.7” Kindle DX, that I will use here as a reference for a comparison (I have owned both the new Kindle 6” and the last Kindle DX). Nota: la recensione è disponibile anche in italiano. Video Review

Second Earth: Print Edition An uncut version of this article, with additional content that had to be removed from the print edition for space reasons, can be found here. A thunderhead towers at knee level, throwing tiny lightning bolts at my shoes. I’m standing–rather, my avatar is standing–astride a giant map [SLurl] of the continental United States, and southern Illinois, at my feet, is evidently getting a good April shower. The weather is nicer on the East Coast: I can see pillowy cumulus clouds floating over Boston and New York, a few virtual meters away. The red polka dots over Phoenix and Los Angeles indicate a hot day, as I would expect. Once you've downloaded the appropriate software from Second Life and Google Earth, many locations mentioned in this story can be accessed using special links in the copy. “Any clue why this dot is blue?” “Let me check something,” Manbi/Corbin responds. “I guess it’s feeling blue,” he jokes.

Amazon Kindle DX official images & specifications The official images of the Amazon Kindle DX are out, and as you might expect it looks like an overgrown version of the Kindle 2. The specifications tell the full dimension story, though: the Kindle DX measures 10.4 x 7.2 x 0.38 inches, versus the Kindle 2 which measures 8 x 5.3 x 0.36 inches. Kindle DX hardware specs after the cut That makes the Kindle DX as thin as most magazines, and only very slightly thicker than the Kindle 2. It weighs 18.9oz and you can read on a single charge for four days with the wireless switched on, or up to two weeks with it turned off. The Amazon Kindle DX will launch over the summer; the package includes the power adapter, USB 2.0 cable and battery, but not the leather book cover.

Clear photos in dim light: New sensor a thousand times more sensitive than current camera sensors May 30, 2013 — Cameras fitted with a new revolutionary sensor will soon be able to take clear and sharp photos in dim conditions, thanks to a new image sensor invented at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The new sensor made from graphene, is believed to be the first to be able to detect broad spectrum light, from the visible to mid-infrared, with high photoresponse or sensitivity. This means it is suitable for use in all types of cameras, including infrared cameras, traffic speed cameras, satellite imaging and more. Not only is the graphene sensor 1,000 times more sensitive to light than current imaging sensors found in today's cameras, it also uses 10 times less energy as it operates at lower voltages. When mass produced, graphene sensors are estimated to cost at least five times cheaper. Graphene is a million times smaller than the thickest human hair (only one-atom thick) and is made of pure carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure. How the Graphene nanostructure works
