Suicidal plug

This one looks like reminiscence from April’s Fool.

A suicidal plug, just connect it and insert you fingers… If it was truly a product it would, most probably, deliver what promises.

Unfortunately I do not have any more information about it, would appreciate any more possible information।

HTC Universal Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone

Early last year, when the first rumors began to swirl that HTC would be introducing a Pocket PC Phone Edition made with the mini-laptop form factor of the CLIÉ UX50 and Zaurus SL-C3100, my interest was immediately piqued. After all, I had long been bemoaning the fact that as of yet there were no similarly styled Pocket PCs. As more details began to surface, there was no question that the upcoming device would have impressive specifications and be capable of much more than the average PDA, but there was some concern that it might not be readily available in the United States, or that even if it was its various features wouldn't perform properly.

According to an early Engadget report, the Universal would sport Windows Mobile 5.0, built-in QWERTY keyboard, UMTS/WCDMA, a large, rotating VGA touch screen, 1.3 megapixel digital camera, 96MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, 520MHz Intel XScale processor, SD memory card slot, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Knowing that this PDA would be in the "thousand dollar and up" range, I could feel the urge to splurge coming on. But I was worried that I either wouldn't be able to get one, or if I could get one, it would not operate properly where I live. That fear would serve to be my undoing...

I should digress for just a moment and point out for those who weren't aware, that HTC is a hardware manufacturer based in Taiwan. They are the world's largest producer of Pocket PC OS-based PDAs, and they design many of the Pocket PCs and mobile phones that are on the market today, but they never brand them with their name. Instead, the designs are outsourced to other companies like Hewlett Packard, i-mate, Audiovox, and others. The Universal, as the new device was named, was quickly picked up by i-mate and dubbed the JASJAR; various other names soon followed including the MDA Pro and the Qtek 9000.

The HTC Universal was designed to best operate on European and Asian GSM/GPRS/UMTS networks. In the United States its use is a bit limited as it is only compatible with the 1900MHz GSM/GPRS-networks of T-Mobile and Cingular. That means if someone lives in a part of the country where Cingular uses the 850MHz bandwidth, like Julie in her part of Indiana, they are out of luck. For UMTS, the Universal requires the European or Asian 2100MHz bandwidth, rather than the bandwidth Cingular uses for its United States 3G UMTS networks. The Universal is not EDGE capable, and it will not operate at all on the Sprint and Verizon's CDMA networks.

With such a list of qualifiers, those living in the US might decide that it would be easier to forget about the Universal and instead pick up an HTC Apache or HTC Wizard depending upon their preferred mobile network. In fact, that is what I wound up doing. I bought the PPC-6700 because it seemed more practical since I already had a Sprint account, and I put the Universal out of my mind until I saw it at the Microsoft Mobius event last December.

Even with the raggedy protective plastic across its top and the ugly paper on its backside, there is no denying this interesting hybrid's appeal. Smaller than a laptop, larger than the typical PDA and definitely larger than even the most generously sized smart phone, the Universal is a breed unto itself. Within a few moments of handling one I could immediately see that there would be those who would dislike its larger than usual form factor, but because I have never shied away from larger PDAs it should come as no surprise to our readers that I was having a hard time keeping the drool wiped from my chin...

John Starkweather, our host at Mobius, saw my undisguised gadget lust and kindly offered to loan me one of Microsoft's demo units; so of course I jumped at the chance. In February he made good on his offer, and I was sent a review unit with the understanding that I could use it for a month then take a week to write about my experience. Well, my time is up.

In that month, the Universal has been my daily driver in every way except one - it was never really my main phone. Because I am currently a Sprint CDMA customer, under contract until November, I couldn't just pop my existing SIM card with my current mobile phone number into the device and go. I still had to carry my existing mobile phone, which happens to be the PPC-6700. I just made sure that I never used my PDA phone for anything other than voice calls. Text messages, email, surfing, reading eBooks, working on databases and spreadsheets while on the go, all of that would have to be done on the Universal. Because I wanted the full experience, I went ahead signed up for an unlimited T-Mobile data account at $29.99 a month with voice calls costing an additional 20¢ a minute. Let me tell you, surfing and reading eBooks on the PPC-6700 will never be the same after once again getting used to a large glorious VGA screen...but I am getting ahead of myself.

Being a demo unit, the Universal which I was sent came with no frills whatsoever. The plain brown cardboard box literally included the device, a wired headset, a miniUSB to USB cable and an AC power cord. Those that buy their Universal from i-mate, T-Mobile Germany, or wherever else will be in for a slightly different first impression.

Specifications:
Battery Type: User removable / rechargeable 1620mAh Li-Ion

The Universal measures 5.2" long x 3.1" wide x 0.93" thick, and it weighs 10.2 ounces. Some of this device's weight may be attributed to its deep gray metal casing, which gives the device a solid, substantial and what is in my opinion a desirable feel. The overall impression I get when holding the Universal is that it is very solidly built. The case will flex a bit when squeezed on either end due to the design of the hinged swivel screen, however I would be hard pressed to find one flaw with the device's clamshell design in regard to how it feels when I have it in my hand.

Yes, the Universal is larger than average, but it is actually smaller than my iPAQ 4700 with its extended battery installed...

...the Universal seems even more reasonably sized when compared to the 4700 in its usual metal Innopocket case.

Considering that the Universal's metallic body and clamshell design negates the absolute need for a screen-protecting case, this is as large as the Universal might ever need be. However, it is not exactly fair to compare the Universal to a non-PPC Phone Edition, so here are a couple of pictures of it next to my PPC 6700. Yes, it makes the 6700 look absolutely petite, but the trade off is that the Universal's screen and keyboard are substantially larger. For those that need or want a larger screen area, the trade will be well worth considering.

So let's take a look at the Universal's hardware...

The front is a wide expanse of smooth gray metal, broken up by an inlay of lighter gray brushed metal. The graduated slashes are the grill for the external speaker. Why does there need to be an external speaker? So that calls may be answered when the PDA is closed like this...! Hey, at least it keeps the user from getting face-goo on the screen. The downside is that there is no way to see who is calling; in order to do that the device must be opened.

Although voice calls are definitely possible when used in this manner, I didn't think that the experience was that great. The person I was speaking to said I sounded staticky, and I could barely hear them.


Secretly we all want to be the guy in that Trigger Happy TV skit

I seriously think that using a Bluetooth headset is the way to go if one is using the Universal as their primary phone. When a headset is used, the sound is as clear as we have grown used to expecting from our mobile phones.

When the lid is swiveled around and laid flat in tablet mode, the 3.7" VGA screen is revealed, along with another speaker, the interior video camera and the four way touchpad with center button.

The back is mainly composed of a smooth gray metal frame surrounding the textured black plastic battery cover. Located at the upper end is the 1.3 megapixel digital camera lens and the white LED video light.

The left side of the Universal has the stylus silo, two ports for external GSM and 3G antennas, the phone on and phone off buttons, the miniUSB port, the reset button and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, you can use your favorite set of earphones with this phone because there is no need for an adapter dongle.

A close-up of the phone buttons shows how they illuminate when the main screen is on. I expected them to also light up while in clamshell mode as calls came in, but they don't.

Here is another shot of the stylus silo and the external antenna ports.

The right side has small grilled stereo speakers on each end, sandwiching buttons for the camera and voice recorder, the infrared port, a brightness button (which I could not get to control anything) and a sliding volume bar. These speakers are used when Media player is running, or when the Universal is in laptop mode with the speaker-phone on.

The top edge of the device has nothing but the corner of the stylus silo. The bottom edge has the power button, SD slot, and circled in red is the microphone.

The Universal's hinge is very similar to that of the Sony CLIÉ's in that it allows the screen to be opened like a laptop, then rotated at a 180º angle so that it can lay flat in tablet mode as I have already shown. Here are some shots of the screen in action...

The 62 button keyboard is considerably larger than that of the PPC-6700. Because of the way it opens and because of its larger size, there are more keys and thus less doubling up of the keys' functions. The square shaped buttons are slightly raised in their centers, giving each an individual feel that goes along nicely with their tactile feedback when pressed. My favorite thing about this keyboard is that there are dedicated numbers, with their QWERTY keyboard correlating alter-egos exposed with the press of the Function key. It all just feels more intuitive and less crowded than the more compact PPC-6700's keyboard.

I was worried that the larger keyboard would be harder to thumb type on, but after a couple hours of use I was completely in the swing. The beveled edges of the lower keyboard fit comfortably in my palms, and the Universal is cradled against my curled fingers while my thumbs can type merrily away.

For comparison, a shot of the Universal's keyboard exposed next to the PPC-6700's...

When the keyboard is in use, everything is backlit by red LEDs, including the special function characters. The red backlight is very easy on the eyes, and equally visible in little to no light.

If one were to think of the Universal as a book, then in the portion which makes up the spine I would like to point out the two multicolored LED indicator lights.

When the phone is charging the topmost LED will glow solid orange, changing to a solid green once a full charge has been achieved.

These LEDs also indicate various stages of wireless use, such as a green blinking light when the GSM signal is being received, and an alternate side blinking green to indicate that WiFi is turned on.

A blue LED will glow when Bluetooth is working.

The Universal's stylus is a 3.75" metal-bodied instrument with a black plastic topper.

This slightly wider than average stylus is much more comfortable to use than the toothpick that the 6700 sports. However for long periods of writing an aftermarket pen-style stylus would be most comfortable.

World’s most expensive mobile phone reaches Russia


World’s most expensive mobile phone reaches Russia


Euroset continues expanding its Luxury-line, within which it has imported the most expensive handset costing 1 mln. euros to Russia. Thus, the Russians can now buy GoldVish Piece Unique put into the Guinness Book of Records. Only three people on the planet have such a handset.

GoldVish Luxury-handsets have come to Russia. Expanding its Luxury-line Euroset has received the exclusive right to sell the entire GoldVish model range in Russia. Currently the handsets are available in Euroset three shops in Moscow. In 2008 the retailer plans to open GoldVish boutique in Moscow.


GoldVish Switzerland handsets made of 18 carat gold (of pink, yellow and white colors) and decorated with diamonds of highest quality WS1 cost from 22 to 127 thousand euros. Besides, the Russians will have the opportunity to buy the most expensive handset put into the Guinness Book of Records. GoldVish Piece Unique costs 1 mln. euro. GoldVish design has been developed by Emanuel Gueit, who has also designed a range of models for watches and jewelry.

Only three people on the planet have such a handset. Evgeny Chichvarkin, Euroset CEO, tells CNews one of GoldVish Piece Unique owners is Russian. However, rumors are circulating that all GoldVish Piece Unique owners are Russian.

Mr. Chichvarkin hopes that GoldVish will find its buyers in Russia. Commenting on possible demand for excessively expensive phones in Russia, he says that the Russian market might be compared to China, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. He says it is impossible to demonstrate GoldVish Piece Unique to the Russians, but they can easily order and acquire it in Euroset.

CIS Solar Tower

Manchester, UK

The CIS tower, seen from below.

Background
In June 2005, CIS became the first insurance company in the world to launch a customer-led ethical policy to guide the ethical performance of its investments. In line with their aim to reconstitute the relationship between its business activities and nature, CIS asked Solarcentury to develop a solution for ventilated PV rain cladding for their HQ in Manchester. Arup then employed Solarcentury to act as PV consultants, providing specialised PV knowledge and design. The project creates the largest commercial solar facade in Europe, and will also be one of the largest solar power systems in the UK. The service core was traditionally covered in no less than 14 million one centimetre square, grey tesserae. The mosaic began to fail a mere six months after the building was completed. It has become a significant health and safety issue, and hence the need for it to be addressed. This project demonstrates how solar power can be easily incorporated into any building refurbishment to provide an extremely cost effective alternative to conventional building materials.

Solar design
Solarcentury provided specialised PV knowledge to design a weatherproof cladding solution by integrating photovoltaics (PV) around the tower's structure, offsetting building material cost of replacing the traditional mosaic tiles. In total, 7,244 Sharp 80W modules are used to clad the entire service tower. From this total, 4,898 PV modules are live, 870 'full size' dummy modules and 109 'medium size' dummy modules and 1,367 edge modules were used in order to optimise the system's electical generation and minimise costs.

Solarcentury worked with Plusswall to engineer a framing solution for solar modules and the main contractors, ISG to effectively install the solar cladding solution around the tower.

The completed solar cladding installation on the Co-operative group's headquarters - the CIS tower, Manchester.

Funding
The ambitious £5.5m solar project, the largest ever in the UK, is being supported by a £885,000 grant from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and a £175,000 grant from the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI).

Each megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated will also be eligible for benefits under the governments Renewable Energy Obligation Certification Scheme. Under this scheme, each MWh of renewable electricity generated is eligible for a tradeable certificate. The Government underwrites a minimum value for certificates of £30. Certificate values have risen steadily, and a forecast for certificate values is estimated at between £50 to £85. As such, using an assumed value of £50, the value of certificates is approximately £9,271 per year.

Summary of electricity comparisons

  • Generates total electricity for 61 average three-bed houses each year
  • Generates enough electricity each year to light an average three-bed house for over 305 years
  • Generates enough electricity to make 6.8 million pieces of toast/9.9 million cups of tea every year

Summary of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) comparisons

  • Annually saves over 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions, a major greenhouse gas, equivalent over 7 million party balloons or 63 Olympic swimming pools.
  • Annual CO2 savings: account for 141 trees required to absorb CO2 over 100 years.
  • To achieve the Kyoto Protocol, the UK is required to reduce CO2 emissions by 12.5% below 1990 levels by 2010. This installation offsets the contribution of 303 UK individuals to this target every year.

How to store batteries

Batteries are perishable products that start deteriorating right from the moment they leave the factory. There are simple preventive measures that battery users can apply to slow the aging process. This paper provides guidelines to reduce age-related capacity losses and how to prime new and stored batteries.

The recommended storage temperature for most batteries is 15°C (59°F). While lead-acid batteries must always be kept at full charge, nickel and lithium-based chemistries should be stored at 40% state-of-charge (SoC). This level minimizes age-related capacity loss, yet keeps the battery in operating condition even with some self-discharge. While the open terminal voltage of nickel-based batteries cannot be used to determine the SoC accurately, voltage fuel gauging works well for lithium-ion cells. However, differences in the electrochemistry of the electrodes and electrolyte between manufacturers vary the voltage profile slightly. A SoC of 50% reads about 3.8V; 40% is 3.75V. Store lithium-ion at an open terminal voltage of 3.75-3.80V. Allow the battery to rest 90 minutes after charge before taking the voltage reading.

Figure 1 illustrates the recoverable capacity at various storage temperatures and charge levels over one year.

Figure 1: Non-recoverable capacity loss on lithium-ion and nickel-based batteries after storage. High charge levels and elevated temperatures hasten the capacity loss. Among the lithium-ion family, cobalt has a slight advantage over manganese (spinel) in terms of storage at elevated temperatures. nickel-based batteries are also affected by elevated temperature but to a lesser degree than lithium-ion.

Lithium-ion powers most of today's laptop computers. The battery compartment on many laptops rises to about 45°C (113°F) during operation. The combination of high charge level and elevated ambient temperature presents an unfavorable condition for the battery. This explains the short lifespan of many laptop batteries.

Nickel-metal-hydride can be stored for about three years. The capacity drop that occurs during storage is permanent and cannot be reversed. Cool temperatures and a partial charge slows aging. Nickel-cadmium stores reasonably well. Field test reveled that NiCd batteries stored for five years still performed well after priming cycles. Alkaline and lithium batteries (primary) can be stored for up to 10 years. The capacity loss is minimal.

The sealed lead-acid battery can be stored for up to two years. A periodic topping charge, also referred to as 'refresh charge', is required to prevent the open cell voltage from dropping below 2.10V. (Some lead-acid batteries may allow lower voltage levels.) Insufficient charge induces sulfation, an oxidation layer on the negative plate that inhibits the current flow on charge and discharge. Topping charge and/or cycling may restore some of the capacity losses in the early stages.

Priming new batteries

Manufacturers recommend to trickle charge a nickel-based battery for 24 hours when new and after long storage. This service brings all cells to equal charge level and redistributes the electrolyte to remedy dry spots on the separator brought on by gravitation of the electrolyte. It is advisable to verify the capacity with a battery analyzer before use. This is especially important in critical applications.

Cycling (priming) is recommended to regain lost capacity after a nickel-based battery has been stored for 6 months or longer. A slow charge followed by one or several discharge/charge cycles will do this. The recovery rate is governed by the condition under which the battery was stored. The longer and warmer the storage temperature, the more cycles will be required. The Prime program of the Cadex battery analyzers automatically applies the number of cycles needed to regain full capacity.

Nickel-based batteries are not always fully formed when leaving the factory. Applying several charge/ discharge cycles through normal use or with a battery analyzer completes the forming. The number of cycles needed to attain full capacity differs between cell manufacturers. Quality cells perform to specification after 5-7 cycles. Those lacking formation may need 50 or more cycles to reach acceptable capacity levels. What is the difference between priming and forming? For the user, both symptoms manifest themselves as insufficient capacity. The difference may be explained in that forming needs to be done only once when the battery is new, while priming must be repeated after each prolonged storage.

Lithium-ion batteries deliver full power after the initial charge. Manufacturers of lithium-ion cells insist that no priming is required. However, priming is beneficial as an initial start and to verify battery performance. Excessive cycling should be avoided because of wear-down effect.

The internal protection circuit of lithium-based batteries is known to cause some problems after a long storage. If the battery is left discharged after use, the self-discharge will further drain the pack and eventually drip the protection circuit at about 2.5 volts per cell. At this point, the charger will no longer recognize the battery and the pack appears dead. Advanced battery analyzers (Cadex) feature the Boost program that activates the protection circuit to enable a recharge. If the cell voltage has fallen below 1.5V/cell and has remained in that state for a few days, a recharge should be avoided for safety reasons.

To reduce the self-discharge on newly manufactured batteries, advanced lithium-ion packs feature a sleep mode that keeps the protection circuit off until activated by a brief charge. Once engaged, the battery remains operational and the advantage of the sleep mode no longer applies.

Lead-acid batteries should be primed by applying a full charge, followed by a discharge and recharge. Verifying the capacity through a discharge is important, especially if the battery is engaged in critical applications such as powering medical devices. Priming is also recommended after storing a battery for six months and longer. Battery analyzers provide the priming service automatically.

It is believed that a partial or full discharge applied once every six months or so enhances the performance of lead-acid batteries. Avoid too many full discharges, as this would wear down the battery unnecessarily.

While capacity loss during a battery's life cannot be eliminated, simple guidelines minimize the effect:

Keep batteries in a cool and dry storage area. Refrigeration is recommended but freezers should be avoided. When refrigerated, the battery should be placed in a plastic bag to protect against condensation

Do not fully charge lithium and nickel-based batteries before storage. Keep them partially charged and apply a full charge before use. Store lithium-ion at about 40% state-of-charge (3.75-3.80V/cell open terminal). Lead-acid batteries must be stored fully charged.

Do not store lithium-ion fully depleted. If empty, charge for about 30 minutes before storage. Self-discharge on a depleted battery may cause the protection circuit to trip, preventing a recharge.

Do not stockpile lithium-ion batteries; avoid buying dated stock, even if offered at a reduced price. Observe the manufacturing date, if available.

Never leave a nickel-based battery sitting on a charger for more than a few days. Prolonged trickle charge causes crystalline formation (memory).

Always store a lead acid battery in full-charge condition. Observe the open terminal voltage and recharge the battery every 6 months or as recommended by the manufacturer.

8 Great iPod Accessories




8 Great iPod Accessories

Whoever buys an MP3 player, is not only buying a technological gizmo, is buying something that can cheer up, calm down, help to concentrate, and a lot more. So if you already made the investment on a MP3 player, most specifically an iPod, some accessories can be really useful. Check this list with 8 accessories chosen by the British site T3.


The Griffin iBeam is composed of a little flash light and a class III laser pointer that you just snap it in your iPod to power up. (Link - scroll down to the middle of the page)

Belkin’s Cassette Adapter does not really need an explanation, does it? (Link)

TunePower Rechargeable Battery Pack, that’s the accessory for those situations where your iPod’s battery just isn’t enough to keep it running, as in when you are hiking or on a really long plane flight, adding 8 to 10 hours of additional playing time. It comes with three sleeves that will fit all iPods and iPods Mini.(Link)

Matias Corporation iPod Armor - I hate scratches, actually, anyone does. But, if you are going to protect your iPod you can just go one step further, and get an armor. This way you’ll be protected not only from scratches but will also avoid cracking your iPod’s screen. (Link)

TuneBase FM for iPod - that’s a real two in one. It keeps your iPod charged while letting you hear your favorite tunes through your car stereo, as it has a built in FM transmitter. (Link)

Solio Solar Powered and Mains Charger - this one is especially useful for those who like camping, but can’t stay long without a good music. Can’t really tell how mush time would it take to recharge an iPod, but after 90 minutes charging a cell phone, you would able to talk for about 25 minutes using it. (Link)

TuneDok for iPod mini - Why not just use a car dock that fits you car’s cup holder? (Link)

Digital Camera Link for iPod w/ Dock Connector - I can’t really tell about you, but I am just crazy about pictures.
