A Japanese quite credible site, Macotakara, has confirmed that the successor to the iPhone 5 will still be called the iPhone 5S, and cheap version of iPhone will be called iPhone 5C as reported so far.

Apple seems to be retaining the naming of the S version of the iPhone, rather than have to give other names. Other news mentioned that the iPhone 5S will also be available in a gold color cast. While the iPhone naming 5C represents 'C' as 'Color' since wrapping five to six bright colors that will caress the body.

Anders Lundblad, a KTH researcher who makes MyFC, said that the charger was able to obtain power from both freshwater and seawater. "Our findings have great potential," says Lundblad. "Many areas that lack or do not have electricity, but increasingly important mobile phone functions, such as accessing weather information or make electronic payments."

An USB connector that connects PowerTrekk with mobile phones. When water is poured into the small metal discs of sodium silicide in the charger, then it will be removed hydrogen gas and combined with oxygen to convert chemical energy into electricity. This energy is enough to supply 25-100 percent of your iPhone battery capacity. In addition to the fuel cell, it has a battery charger lithium-ion power source that can be directly or as a backup.

Lundblad has done research on micro fuel cells and small flat Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells for more than 15 years at the Department of Applied Electrochemistry at KTH. He says the business vision behind MyFC is to commercialise fuel cell technology and contribute to the development of environmental technology.

"The launch of this charger is a strategic effort that fuel cells that the fuel cell can be accepted by the public," he said. "Right now our charger may still be considered expensive. But in the long run, when it reaches mass production, the price will go down." *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEDAILY | KORAN TEMPO 4209]

Giant tablet with 3D technology

Z SPACE
Imagine you're playing Angry Birds on the screen three-dimensional (3D). Of course it's more fun because you seemed to actually hold the grumpy bird. Now, the imagination can be realized as long as you are willing to spend money U.S. $ 1,500 (approximately Rp. 14.4 million).

The tablet is made by Infinite Z, a company based in California, United States to launch a tablet that has a display screen of 23.6 inches was named Z Space. The screen is capable of displaying images in 3D format.

The Z Space screen are able to track the movement of the user eyes and hands, and mixes it into a 3D display. The resulting image quality is very sharp. The thrill of playing on the Z Space screen will not be found on the 3D TV screen.

To feel the sensation of it, a pair of special glasses included in the sale to maximize the user experience in viewing 3D images. These glasses have an infrared beam which is then tracked continuously by sensors on the tablet screen.

The camera sensor on the screen then adjusts a perspective view in order to produce proper 3D images. Infinite Z called it as Virtual Holographic 3D, which also allows the user to change the image so impressed floating a few inches in front of the eyes.

Besides glasses, there is a digital pen (stylus) with sensors that allow the movement of the stylus tracked as a 3D display. Miraculously, the user can use a stylus to take a piece of the virtual image of the screen and move it.

CNET has tried the tablet by displaying picture of a motorcycle engine. The machine was seen floating about 12 inches in front of the eyes. Remarkably, some parts of the machine it can be removed and reassembled.With this outstanding capability, Z Space can be very useful for professionals engaged in the design, architecture, and animation. And, of course, for the hardcore fans of digital gaming.

Choosing a smartphone Tips

Previously when we heard about smartphone, we imagined an advanced mobile phones with an expensive price. But not anymore! Because currently smartphones increasingly affordable with selection of brands and types are becoming more varied.

Starting from series of well-established brands such as Apple iPhone, BlackBerry, Sony, Samsung, to China and local brands, which generally have dared to offer smart phones with pretty good specs with a fairly friendly price. That is why, according to IDC, smartphone shipments over the past year to Indonesia nearly 8 million units, an increase of 25% from 2011. With this move, we can be confused with the increasing number of choices on the market.
Here are the tips for choosing a smartphone:

Recognize the Operating System
The main difference the smartphone with ordinary cellphone lies on the Operating system, the type of software that perform the mobile phone function. In Indonesia, the most popular operating systems today is the BlackBerry, Android, and iOS after that, there's Symbian and Windows Phone.

BlackBerry is widely known with a powerful operating system in instant messaging (read: BlackBerry Messenger/BBM) and is widely used Indonesian people lately. Its ecosystem is strong that more people frequently asked BB PIN number rather than a mobile number. However, a centralized server system in Canada, making it is often too late when using the BBM, so the satisfaction to be somewhat reduced.

Android is an operating system created by Google, the world's internet giant. Since last year continues to rise and in Indonesia an Android phone sold at an affordable price with the present application chatting, gaming, and the wider internet. This is supported by the Google Play services that exist in the smartphone, which allows the owner to download the application at any time and sometimes it's free. This concept is also offered by Apple over its iPhone, but it sold at a high price (the most expensive among the existing smartphone).

If you have a limited budget, but want a powerful smartphone on the internet surfing, then Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian eligible. Conversely if you want an exclusive feature with a high budget, choose Apple, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.

Do not confuse about the price!
The offering is very intense at this time, which making smartphone can be sold at cheap price. However, do not be fooled! With reference to the processor and components in it, simply define the smartphone price. In Indonesia, the lowest range of a smart phone starts from Rp. 800,000 to Rp. 1.5 million.

If you want more affordable but safe, you can choose the smartphone sold by the mobile network operator. Sometimes the price is related to warranty service (after-sales service). The new brand usually offer its smartphone at low prices, but there is not reparation center in your region. However, the established brands typically, they comes complete with after-sales service point on your region.

Observe the processor, battery, and memory
Processor on a smartphone like a brain. The higher processor ( such as dualcore, quadcore), for better performance. For an affordable price, choose the smartphone already use processors from the well-established manufacturers like Qualcomm and Mediatek. You can see this data on the back of smartphone box.

For memory, the same size as the processor, the higher the capacity the better. While on battery, select smartphone is already using 1200 mAh-1500 mAh of capacity. At the lower of this capacity, the battery could quickly drop.

Select Design-Feature as needed
Everyone has different tastes. Some are happy to see the video then you should choose widescreen smartphone with robust features in the video. If you likes the music, you can take the strong of the sound side. So, first identify your needs and carefully before buying. *** [EKA | MUHAMMAD SUFYAN | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 12042013]
