MOBILE PHONES

A company are claiming that it will soon be possible to put the XBox level games on to a mobile phone. This is due to a new chip that they are launching that will greatly increase the power available to run these types of games.
The new processors by ARM will have enough power to handle all the 3D elements and smooth gameplay although playing them on a small screen might not be the most desirable thing. The good news is that mobile pico sized projectors are starting to be made available which we will soon see them embedded in phones. A mixture of a mini projector and a powerful ARM processor should give you a nice 50 – 60″ screen capable XBox console that you can carry around in your pocket.
The Mali-2.0 is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) that is capable of moving 16 million triangles per second with 4x anti-aliasing and shifting 275 million pixels per second. Moving on a little bit they also claim to have 1080p processing. The good news is that the chip could be ready to go in to phones as early as winter 2009 at a cost of just $100. The 1080p processing will be provided with a slightly advanced GPU named the Mali-400 that is capable of quad cores running at 300MHz.

“Lend me the charger”. It is not the motto of an advertising campaign but a frustrated dream for millions of users. It happens every day when somebody has a mobile phone with a discharged battery at the workplace and, although this person is surrounded by other cell phone users, nobody can help. And that is because all phones have a different charger or adapter. To solve this problem, the major European mobile phone makers have concluded an agreement with the European Commission in order to market an universal charger starting from 2010 (mid-year).
Micro USB is the standard connector that was chosen to be the universal connector. This is used by many laptops, cameras and MP3 players and will be included in all the data-enabled mobile phones that will be marketed in the next year. It is expected to be a standard for many years, too.

In 2010 your mobile phone may be powered by water. Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced that it has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on H20.

"When the handset is turned on, metal and water in the phone react to produce hydrogen gas," explained Oh Yong-soo, vice president of Samsung Electro-Mechanics' research center. "The gas is then supplied to the fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power." Other fuel cells need methanol to produce hydrogen, while Samsung's needs only water.
Since the micro-fuel cell can generate up to three watts of electricity, it could be used in mobile devices, the company said. The new fuel cell could power a handset for 10 hours, twice as long as rechargeable batteries.
