Mozilla Foundation at the MWC 2012 showed its New Platform that called "Boot2Gecko", a cloud based open-source Mobile OS, Which is coded entirely with HTML5, CSS and Javascript.

Boot2Gecko is using the latest open web standards for its apps, which means that apps written for it will be compatible with just about any smartphone running the OS, or even every device with an HTML5-enabled browser. And do not worry even though the OS itself is cloud-based, you might still use your phone offline and even run apps and games on it offline caching is a technology already supported by the web standards.

Check out all "B2G" OS Screenshots
The Mozilla team had the platform installed on a Samsung Galaxy S II and were doing all the demoes on the Samsung former flagship, but the company is actually looking to release a completely different device. Its aim is to produce an ultra-cheap smartphone, powered by a 600 MHz CPU and packing just 256MB of RAM.


Technological standards are a marvelous thing that greatly help consumers. You know how nearly all smartphones these days have a 3.5mm headset jack, HDMI-out, and MicroUSB port? These are standards that many companies agree upon to make the lives of consumers easier by reducing the fragmentation of devices, accessories, peripherals, so on and so forth. The MHL consortium promotes the MHL standard that aims to help keep your battery charged.
When you connect your phone to a television for HDMI use, your battery will drain. Oftentimes it will drain a LOT since beaming this information is very media intensive. But your phone is plugged into a huge electronic device that is plugged into a wall, so why should you have to waste battery? With MHL you WON'T.

If both your television and mobile phone have MHL, your phone will actually charge while connected to a TV via HDMI. If you do not use the HDMI-out feature of your phone very often, When you does, you will not worry about your phone dying.
The MHL standard was initiated by 5 companies: Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Nokia, and Silicon Image.

Carning has just announced through a press release (below) that its 2nd generation of ultra-tough screen-protecting glass the "Gorilla Glass 2", will start to appear on devices in April or May this year.
The first shipments have been sent out to the company partners. You saw the Gorilla Glass 2 in action back at CES 2011 and looking forward to see on a device.
Corning Delivering Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 for Next Generation Consumer Electronic Devices
CORNING, N.Y., February 27, 2012 – Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced the first shipments of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 to key device makers who plan to utilize the glass in new consumer electronics devices planned for release in 2012.
“Corning’s new glass composition, Gorilla Glass 2, enables slimmer and sleeker devices, brighter images, and greater touch sensitivity, providing an ideal solution for the newest, most sophisticated smartphones, tablets, and personal computers,” said David R. Velasquez, global director, Marketing and Commercial Operations, Corning® Gorilla® Glass.“
Since we launched Gorilla Glass 2 just last month at CES, we’ve qualified the glass with more than half of our current customers, and have shipped our first orders to customers who plan to start production and release product in the first quarter this year.”
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is the next generation of the widely accepted damage-resistant cover glass for consumer electronic devices, enabling up to 20% reduction in cover glass thickness without sacrificing the performance consumers have come to expect from the world’s most widely deployed strengthened cover glass.
Introduced in 2007, Corning Gorilla Glass set the industry standard for damage-resistant cover glass. Today it is the most widely deployed cover glass, used by more than 30 major brands and has been designed into more than 600 product models, spanning over 600 million units worldwide.
Corning will demonstrate the new glass performance at the Pepcom event, MobileFocus Global, on Feb. 27, in Barcelona, Spain.

Wifi N-Draft (which most of the current devices has!) will consider to be Old by the End of this Year, Qualcomm Atheros says that the next-generation of WiFi wireless Networking will roll-out in a smoother manner than past industry transitions with less confusion for consumers. The new 802.11ac technology, also known as 5G WiFi, promises blazing fast internet access that is several times faster than today existing network speeds for 802.11n chips.
Rob Chandhok, Qualcomm president of internet services and senior vice president, said in an interview that the 802.11ac technology will likely see a simultaneous rollout for both access point chips as well as end-use devices. The first wireless networking 802.11ac chip sets are expected to debut late this year or early next year, depending on when the engineering standard is finalized by an industry consortium. This time, there has been less squabbling around the standard among industry players.

The technology is faster because it uses a wider channel for delivering data, at 80 megahertz instead of 40. It uses 256-QAM, a modulation scheme that is four times more efficient than the prior 64-QAM scheme. And it taps multiple antennae using the MIMO (Multiple-Inputs, Multiple-Outputs) spatial stream technology, using twice as many streams as were available before.

What Makes the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor unique and more advanced than others Quad-core Architectures out there ? It features a fifth companion-core.
The job of this core is to handle all the usual menial tasks while the four performance cores rest, to be called upon only when there is a need for significant graphical power, such as in 3D games. This results in amazing battery life because the companion core consumes very little power compared to the four performance cores.

This kind of architecture is called as variable symmetric architecture (or vSMP). But as you can image that is not something that would look at home on a box or a store sign, which is why Nvidia kept calling it things like having a companion core or ninja core.

Nvidia have finally come up with a proper name for it and they have trademarked it too. And that name is 4-PLUS-1.

We are Happy to introduce to you our "Smartphones Rating System" for our New "Smartphones Specifications Section", We will add the specifications of any New Smartphone on this section with our rank for this device (1-5 Stars) on the Upper-Right corner. Here is our Rating System for Smartphones:

The 1 Star Rated Smartphones is Mostly cheap Smartphones with very low specs, probably the lowest specs in the market at the time this phone was released.
These Phones are usually useful as Back-up devices, if you primary phone got stolen, at serivce or out of charge as these phones battery last longer than other smartphones.

The 2 Stars Rated Smartphones is considered to be a "Low-End" Device.
Low-End devices has smaller screens with Low Resolution, older OS version and missing some features. Also these phones has a very good price for their specs and have all the Most needed Basic features Only. Which is Good!

The 3 Stars Rated Smartphones is considered to be a "Mid-Range" Device.
Mid-Range Smartphones has the same design as the High-end version of it but with cheaper Materiels and lower specs, It has some of the New features on the Market but not all of it, Very close to the High-end version but with lower price. Which is Very Good!

The 4 Stars Rated Smartphones is considered to be a "High-End" Device.
High-End Devices always has the latest features of the market at the time they released, Companies always set a high price for these phones and makes them up-to-date with the latest OS version, Made from the Best Materials. Which is Excellent!

The 5 Stars TOP Rated Smartphones is considered to be the Manufacture's "Flagship" device.
In the Flagship Device the Manufacture puts all his Capabilities and Technology with the Highest Quality Materials and Highest Specs on the Market ( Quad-core CPU, HD displays.. etc ) on this Device. Which is THE BEST!

Panasonic unveiled the specifications of their Android smartphone dubbed the Eluga, expected to debut on the European market this March.
Eluga is powered by a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which we have come to expect from high-end droids these days. At the front we find a 4.3-inch OLED display with qHD 960 x 540 pixels resolution.

It is also water- and dust-proof with NFC on-board. Remarkably, this has not made the device as thick as one might expect. The Eluga is just 7.8mm thick and weighs only 103grams, which, to bring it in a perspective, beats the Galaxy S II hands-down.
The reason for the phone little hump at the back is the 8MP auto-focus snapper with image stabilization. Speaking of the back, underneath the back cover resides 1,150 mAh battery good for 300h of standby and 240 minutes of talk time.

The Eluga will run Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 when initially sold with Ice Cream Sandwich coming in the Spring of this year, or at least that what Panasonic promises.

In Photoshop CS6, Adobe have expanded the capabilities of the Content-Aware too that was introduced in the Photoshop CS5. Back then it made everybody go WOW and now it continues to amaze everyone with the addition of Content-Aware move. It allows you to choose the source for the bit you want to alter, just like the patch tool, but the handy bit is that it does its content-aware magic while at it.

This Demo video demonstrates the NEW Content-Aware move in Photoshop CS6. You HAVE to Watch it!

Are a fan of BMW? Do you like the M-series high-performance cars? This is your lucky day... NEW Official photos of the 2013 BMW M6 have surfaced. BMW is offering up multiple shots of both coupe and convertible versions of the car, and I think for me this is one of those cars that I need to see in person.

Both cars will come with a specially calibrated seven-speed DSG transmission. BMW also fits the car with its latest DSC system and an active M differential to help put the power to the road.


It is not the fist time to see a quad-core Tegra 3 devices (Asus Transformer prime), However, Nvidia confirmed that we will see some new Exclusive Quad-core devices on the MWC 2012 event in Barcelona by the end of this Month (February 2012).
The Invitation image includes a smartphone, Saying that they will show some of the first quad-core Android handsets. We saw the first Android quad-core handset at CES 2012, but it was displayed behind glass with no Specs or Details whatsoever!

Previous leaks suggest that HTC and LG are both planning Tegra 3-powered devices featuring a 4.7-inch display with 720p resolution. May be Nvidia planning to show one of them.
