...The good: The Nokia Lumia 920 forges new Windows Phone ground with wireless charging support and a highly sensitive screen you can use with gloves. Moreover, Nokia helps fill in Windows Phone OS gaps with a few missing features. The bad: A thick, heavy build and slippery finish for some colors make the Lumia 920 harder to hold and carry, and the phone's overhyped camera doesn't have enough settings. The bottom line: Nokia's Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it.

...At the beginning we asked two simple questions before the initiation of the project. First, we asked if people use wireless charging or not, majority of the participants said NO since they were not familiar with wireless charging technology. Then we asked if they would use a lighter portable battery different than PowerBank. This time, majority of the participants said YES. We all want to stay online; it’s a big want-rather than a want nowadays staying online is a need. It’s always preferred to a dead battery. So, we decided to come up with Dispobatt. What is Dispobatt? It’s a disposable battery for smartphones. It will look like an RFID Tag more or less, a transparent circuit that charges smartphones for the given amount of percentage. You’ll stick it to the rear panel of your device and it will start working, charging your phone immediately. This immediate connection will happen due to the combined use of NFA technology Qi technology together. Now you’ll probably ask what NFA and Qi technologies are. Well, in the simplest term Near Field Audio™ (NearFA™) is a new wireless audio technology that allows mobile devices to transmit sound to an amplifying speaker within a short distance. Most existing mobile devices such as iPhone, iPod, iPad and Android devices are supported by NearFA™. For instance, it only allows transmitting sounds and needs physical connection. Qi is an interface standard developed for inductive electrical power transfer over distances of up to 4 cm. The...

...Wireless technologies Remote innovations wireless correspondence advancements are the best responsibilities to mankind. Remote correspondence incorporates the transmission of information over a division without help of wires, connections. The transmitted detachment can be wherever between two or three meters and a colossal number. A rate of the contraptions used for remote correspondence are cordless telephones, GPS units, mobiles, GPS units, remote PC parts, and satellite TV. Mobile technologies Portable innovation is absolutely what name illustrates – advancement that is advantageous; it implies any device which you can pass on with you to perform a wide variety of "assignments". It is development that allows those errands to be performed by method for vehicles, PDA, compact PCs, et cetera. A standard phone has gone from being near a fundamental two-way pager to being a PDA, a GPS course system, a web project, and minute errand individual structure, a video gaming system, and significantly more. It consolidates the use of a variety of transmission media, for instance, radio wave, microwave, infra-red, GPS and Bluetooth to consider the trading of data by method for voice, content, video, 2-dimensional institutionalized labels and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

By Subhankar Dhar and Upkar Varshney Challenges and Business Models for Mobile Location-based Services and Advertising for wireless cellular networks in the U.S. have also enabled location-based functionalities using variations of triangulation, GPS, and cell-ID technologies. In addition to the current and emerging satellite-based systems, such as GPS (U.S.), GLONASS (Russian), GALILEO (EU), and COMPASS (China),30 which will provide wider coverage to benefit location-based services. In some cases locational information can also be derived and utilized from sensors, RFID, Bluetooth, WiMax, and Wireless LANs.7,31,32 These systems can be used standalone or supplement the coverage for location tracking in indoor environments, where satellite coverage is intermittent or inaccurate. The potential for location-based services is evident from powerful and ubiquitous wireless devices that are growing in popularity.8,23 Many surveys predict billions of dollars in revenues for mobile advertising.27 Mobile Network Operators are well positioned to take up a significant percent of this advertising revenue as they negotiate deals with content providers. Recent deals between media companies, advertising agencies and Internet/software industry also demonstrate significant optimism...

...| Internet of Things | 2014| Pragya Vaishwanar | Aricent Marketing Research Report | Summary It’s fair to say that more people have heard of the “internet of things” than have experienced it. More objects are becoming embedded with sensors and gaining the ability to communicate. The resulting information networks promise to create new business models, improve business processes, and reduce costs and risks. There is breathless press coverage of the phenomenon—always patiently re-explained by tech pundits as the trend by which all of one’s most mundane possessions will become internet-connected. These are invariably coupled with estimates that the internet of things will be a multi-trillion dollar business. 2014 is really, finally the year that the “internet of things”—that effort to remotely control every object on earth —becomes visible in one’s everyday lives. In a sense the internet of things is already with us. For one thing, anyone with a smartphone has already joined the club. The average smartphone is brimming with sensors—an accelerometer, a compass, GPS, light, sound, altimeter. It’s the prototypical internet-connected listening station, equally adept at monitoring our health, the velocity of our car, the magnitude of earthquakes and countless other things that its creators never envisioned. Yet despite repeated declarations one of the most successful sellers of baubles that help make your home “smart,” Smart-things, has only shipped 10,000 or so units since...

...com). There are two dominant players in the market: the Alliance for Wireless Power together with The Power Matters Alliance (A4WP and PMA) and Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which are doing R&D in the field of wireless technologies. Each organisation has its own wireless charging technology, Rezence-based and Qi-wireless charging technology respectively. There is also WiTricity Technology presented by a company with the same name that is also part of the PMA. While the first alliance pays more attention to the application of wireless charging technology for the outside home and office usage, the WPC is promoting the technology for the inside home application. This difference is due to specialisation of the companies that are in the alliances. One of the most important members of the WPC is Philips, it uses the Qi-wireless charging technology for the kitchen appliances. However, the product has not been launched yet. The main difference is that Philips is aimed at creating a fully-wireless kitchen appliances rather than concentrating only on blenders and mixers. Another difference is that the inductive power source of the existing Philips prototype is built into the kitchen’s countertop just directly underneath the particular piece of equipment compared to the EXIJO’s Hub that is placed on the counter and can turn on the kitchen appliances within one metre. One of the EXIJO’s benefits is that the charging equipment does not need to be mounted into the countertop, thus avoiding...
