The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is
the first tablet to feature a 7.7-
inch Super AMOLED display.
Under the hood, there is a 1.4GHz processor, making the TouchWiz skinned Android Honeycomb 3.2 tick.

The tablet sports a 3-megapixel camera on the back
and a 2-megapixel front shooter and has a 5100mAh battery, which delivers up to 10 hours of non-stop video playback.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com

Apple was able to convince a
German court to suspend an
injunction that went into effect
earlier today that temporarily
prevented it from selling the
iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad 2
via its web site. Apple lost a
patent ruling to Motorola in
December that effects the
aforementioned devices. The
patents in question cover GPRS
standards. Apple claims that
Motorola is seeking licensing
terms for the patents that don't
comply with fair, reasonable and
non-discriminatory (FRAND) rules.
The iPhone 4S was excluded
from the patent ruling because it
uses a Qualcomm baseband
rather than one from Infineon.
Motorola had to post a $100
million bond for the ban to take
effect., but Apple won a reversal.
It isn't clear how long the
reversal will last. Separately,
German courts today issued
another ruling against Apple and
its iCloud service. Apple was
found guilty of infringing on a
Motorola patent concerning how
email is synced between devices.
The ruling gives Motorola leeway
to inquire about past device sales
as it prepares requests for
damages. Apple is appealing the
decisions.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com

iPhone's remarkable fourth-
quarter surge -- 37 million units
-- lifted the handset ahead of the
two previous smartphone
leaders, according to Canalys. For
full year 2011, Apple shipped
93.1 million smartphones,
compared to Samsung's 91.9
million and Nokia's 77.3 million.
Nokia, the company that invented
the smartphone, has bled share
since iPhone launched nearly 5
years ago, but artery versus vein
since announcing the switch to
Windows Phone from Symbian in
February 2011.
Apple's climb to the top followed
October's iPhone 4S launch and
availability of older 3GS and 4
models for free and $99 ,
respectively. Samsung shipped
35.3 million smartphones in Q4,
behind Apple, while Nokia
shipped 19.6 million -- a
stunning 31 percent decline. By
comparison, iPhone shipments
surged 128.1 percent for the
quarter and 96 percent for the
year.
However, Android shipments
outpaced iPhone/iOS by
considerable degrees, up 148.7
percent for the quarter and
244.1 percent for the year. Nearly
82 million Androids shipped
during fourth quarter and 237.8
million for the year. Android
captured 51.6 percent global
smartphone share for the
quarter and 48.8 percent for all
2011.
The quarter's biggest loser -- and
big isn't, well, big enough -- was
Windows Phone. Despite
shipment of the first Nokia
Windows Phones and release of
v7.5 during the quarter, market
share plunged a stunning 43.3
percent. Windows Phone ended
the quarter with a puny 1.4
percent share. For perspective,
that's below Samsung's Bada,
which launched in mid 2010.
Bada shipments grew 183.1
percent year over year, granted
from a small base, to 2.7 percent
share.
More broadly, 158.5 million
smartphones shipped in Q4, up
57 percent year over year. For all
2011: 487.7 million, up 63
percent.
"Smartphones have grown from
being a niche product segment
at the high-end of the mobile
phone market to becoming a
truly mass-market proposition",
Chris Jones, Canalys principal
analyst, says. "The greater
availability of smartphones at
lower price points has helped
tremendously, but there has
been a driving trend of
increasing consumer appetite for
Internet browsing, content
consumption and engaging with
apps and services on mobile
devices".http://ksp2347.blogspot.com

The successor of the Galaxy S II
Android smartphone won’t be
introduced at the Mobile World
Congress conference at the end
of the month. Instead, Samsung
plans to unveil the device at a
separate event in the first half of
the year, the company said in a
statement to The Verge.
The Galaxy S II is Samsung’s
record-breaking smartphone,
and now the pressure is on to
deliver a new model.The Galaxy S
II is Samsung’s most successful
smartphone to date, generating
10 million sales quicker than any
mobile device in the company’s
history. With Apple’s iPhone 4S
catching up with Android in the
U.S. over the holiday period, the
pressure is on for Samsung to
deliver a worthy rival before a
new iPhone model arrives this
year.
Android manufacturers tend to
preview their smartphones
earlier in the year, either at CES in
January or at the Mobile World
Congress (MWC) in February, and
these phones actually ship much
later in the year, especially in the
U.S., where carriers request
various customizations. Probably
to avoid long periods of waiting,
Samsung said it would announce
the Galaxy S II successor -- call it
the S III – later this year, “closer
to commercial availability of the
product.” The S II was
announced at MWC last year and
began shipping in April.
Samsung managed to keep the
lid on details about its upcoming
flagship smartphone, yet Eldar
Murtazin from Mobile-Review
hinted that he played with a
Galaxy S III. He says the Galaxy S II
successor will rock a 12-
megapixel camera and Android
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Other
previously speculated details for
the S III include a 1.8GHz dual-
core processor and 2GB of RAM,
although hopefully by the time
Samsung releases the phone, it
could slip in an Nvidia quad-core
mobile processor.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com

It was never intended as such,
but The Rolling Stones' song
Under My Thumb could easily
pass as the anthem of
overbearing parents across the
globe. Now, T-Mobile is tossing
its paranoid constituents a bone
with an updated version of its
FamilyWhere lineup. First onto
the platform is FamilyWhere
Check In, a free app that lets kids
manually send their location to
family members, which is
delivered as a web link within a
text message. The carrier's more
robust application, known as
FamilyWhere Locate, is a $10/mo
subscription service that
automatically provides location
tracking for up to ten devices.
Here, doting parents (and
untrusting spouses) can keep
tabs on their family via a web
browser or the FamilyWhere app,
and may choose to have regular
location updates delivered via
SMS or email. Now all you have to
do is slap DriveSmart onto your
kids' phones, and they're certain
to resent you forever.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com

Some of the world's
biggest Internet companies and
financial services firms have
developed a new approach to
fighting email spam that they
hope will reduce online scams.
Facebook, Google Inc and
Microsoft Corp have joined with
financial firms Bank of America
Corp, Fidelity Investments and
eBay Inc's PayPal to create a set
of industry standards for
preventing criminals from
sending out spam emails that
appear to come from corporate
email addresses.
Fraudsters often pose as banks
and other trusted firms in
attempts to persuade email
recipients to provide payment
card numbers, bank account
information and other personal
data or click on links that infect
computers with malicious
software.
The new approach calls for email
providers and businesses to
attack spammers by
coordinating on a massive scale
the use of two existing
technologies for email
authentication known by the
acronyms SPF and DKIM, which
have yet to be widely adopted.
PayPal is one company that
currently uses SPF (Sender Policy
Framework) and DKIM
(DomainKeys Identified Mail)
technology standards to fight
email spoofing, but only through
partnerships with Yahoo Inc and
Google, said Brett McDowell, a
security manager at PayPal who
serves as chairman of the group
that developed the new
standard.
The group goes by the name
DMARC.org, which stands for
Domain-based Message
Authentication, Reporting and
Conformance.
If Yahoo or Google get an email
claiming to come from PayPal
that is not properly
authenticated with SPF or DKIM,
the email is not delivered, he
said. But if fraudsters send
spoofed PayPal email to other
email providers, it might get
through.
"What we need is an Internet
standard that allows this level of
protection to work at scale -
without any discussion, without
any partner agreements,"
McDowell said. "That is what
DMARC does."
Other companies involved in the
group include American
Greetings Corp, LinkedIn Corp
and Yahoo as well as privately
held Agari, Cloudmark, eCert,
Return Path and the Trusted
Domain Project.
IDC security analyst Michael
Versace said that the approach
recommended by the group
appeared to be effective and
inexpensive to implement.
Yet he said that the industry
should keep developing new
technologies to fight spammers
because he expects that cyber
criminals will eventually figure
out how to circumvent the
DMARC protections.

Are you intended to save the energy of your car headlight, then wait for a little time? The big car company BMM is going to introduce laser headlights very soon. The company claims that these headlights will save energy in comparison to the normal headlights. To overcome the bad affects of the laser, which may be harmful for the passenger coming from the opposite sides, the lights produced by laser will be softened. The company is trying to pass the white light through fluorescent phosphor material in the headlight. The light which will come out from headlight will be bright and cool, giving no hazardous effect to the eyes of animals and human being coming in the range of this laser light. It will produce a huge intensity than LEO lights and safe a lot of energy.

 THE STARK HAND:=

It is an artificial hand which is specially design for NASA. It moves easily and works like an electronic hand. The story behind the invention is like this:
A boy named Dave Vogt, when born has not his left hand by nature. A scientist Stark created an electronic hand for him and the hand has three knuckles (Which have a joint of a finger when the fist is closed). These knuckles can be bent according to the wish of the Vogt and he may catch the things easily. Interesting thing is that the Vogt may open all of his fingers freely by the moment of his shoulder that triggers a lever to extract. This artificial hand is really magical, because the Vogt may grip an egg with politeness and as well as drag a heavy chair.
When Vogt used this hand a ball is thrown towards him, he caught the ball with his artificial hand and certified that he is no more disabled and may do his work like a normal person.
