SIMply NFC-Revolution is an NFC-enabled SIM card
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Morpho and INSIDE Secure have team-up to launch a first product that has the potential to bring NFC functionality to the mass market, reaching even those users who don’t have the latest smartphones. The new “SIMply NFC-Revolution” product incorporates INSIDE’s core NFC chip technology with SIM technology from Morpho and the end result is an NFC-enabled SIM card!
According to the press release we got, this is a better bridge solution than flexible antennas or contactless stickers since no external change or retrofit of a mobile device is required. All it takes is to pull out your existing SIM card and replace it with the new one, which will work even in disruptive environments (i.e. under the...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is finally official: S Pen supporting tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
he Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has just been officially confirmed and it’s as real as you imagined it - a 10.1-inch tablet with a dual-core processor and support for the S Pen. The S Pen support is actually what defines and will define the Galaxy Note series for Samsung. At the same time, Samsung will keep the Tab lineup for traditional no-stylus tablets.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 features Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the TouchWiz skin on top. It also comes with a number of tweaks for the Wacom-based S Pen - you can sketch in a dedicated app which is brought by a double tap on the screen while holding the pen button, you can annotate screenshots and you have Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Id...

Samsung announces Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.0, dual-core chipset and S Pen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid 4.0
Samsung on Monday took the wraps off another new addition to its Android tablet lineup, the Galaxy Note 10.1. Like the supersized “phablet” it joins in the Galaxy Note family, the Note 10.1 includes Samsung’s S Pen stylus for drawing, note-taking, highlighting and much more. Sadly, this still isn’t the high-definition slate we’ve been waiting for so it looks like Samsung is shooting to launch its Retina-like tablet later this year. The 10-inch Galaxy Note runs Samsung’s TouchWiz UI atop Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and includes a 1.4GHz dual-core processor along with the same cameras found in the original Galaxy Tab 10.1. In fact, the Note 10.1 essentially seems like a redesigned Galaxy Ta...

Gorilla Glass 2 to be in devices starting April or May
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Back at CES, we finally got a look at Corning's Gorilla Glass 2, which is promised to have the same strength, scratch resistance, and impact resistance, but at 20% thinner than the original Gorilla Glass. This means that devices would have the same protection from screen damage, but will be able to be thinner overall or will have extra space for bigger batteries (which is probably a better option in our opinion.)
Today, Corning announced that it expects Gorilla Glass 2 to start making it into devices by April or May of this year, so we should be able to see soon enough whether manufacturers want to keep making devices thinner (which seems a bit unnecessary at some point) or uses the extra s...

Apple scores a victory over Motorola in German patent case
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleMotorola
Apple on Monday won a ruling over Motorola Mobility in a German appeals court over a recent patent infringement suit, reports Bloomberg. The Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court ruled in Apple’s favor, stating that Motorola cannot further enforce its standard-essential patent injunction against the Cupertino-based company. The ruling allows Apple to continue to offer its products in its online store while it appeals a ruling that temporarily banned the company’s iPhone and iPad. “At the current state of the proceedings, it is to be assumed that Motorola Mobility would violate its duties under antitrust rules if it continues to ask Apple to stop the sales,” the court said in a statement.
