Being designed for outdoors use the Seals TS3 is ideal to take with you when walking in the countryside.  It is rugged and can withstand shock damage in the form of drops or other impacts.  There is also protection against rain and particles entering the device due to its high ingress rating of IP68.  This all means the Seals TS3 is a durable handset which can be used reliably in the outdoors.  In fact is has been certified to US Military standard MIL-810G.

Not only is the Seals TS3 tough, but it has great features and apps pre-installed which make the outdoors safer and more enjoyable.  A compass app is available which not assists you with planning your route, but also provides information on temperature, height and pressure.  A pedometer means you can check the distance you have travelled and how many calories you have burned during your walk.

Probably the most important features are the ones which keep you safe.  The first is one-key positioning, which in an emergency can send your latitude and longitude to up to five previously set numbers.  You can also set a message to be sent.  The second is a Morse code application which uses the screen and camera flash to display the SOS message.

Step closer to flexible batteries & mobile devices

Following on from our blog post “Amazing new touchscreen technology demonstrated at CES 2013”, which highlighted the incredible flexible displays, scientists in South Korea have discovered a method of creating flexible batteries.

This potentially brings us a step closer to having flexible phones and mobile devices, the result of which could dramatically change the design of phones and how we use them.  According to the research paper the scientists, lead by professor Lee Sang-young of South Korean’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, developed “fluid-like” or “shape conformable” polymer electrolytes.

These new batteries are apparently created by spreading the polymer electrolytes on electrodes and then blasting them with ultra-violet rays for 30 seconds.

This method of creating the battery according to the paper not only made the battery more flexible, it also enhanced stability compared to conventional designs.

It is likely that it will be some years before we see flexible phones or other mobile devices, but the possibilities could be revolutionary.

Toyota introduce Qi Wireless Charging to cars

Avalon ChargingWireless charging is a technology which has recently become more widely publicized.  Thanks in part to Nokia introducing Qi wireless charging to their recently launched Lumia 920 and 820 products.  These promote the ability charge the handsets using a JBL PowerUp Charging Speaker, Fatboy pillow and a more traditional charging plate.

Qi wireless charging is important as it is a standardized method for integrating this technology into products.  It means that solutions provided by different manufacturers can work together.  This has enabled Toyota to introduce wireless charging to their Avalon range of cars.  It isn’t provided as standard, but can be purchased as part of their 2013 Technology package for an additional $1,750.  This includes other tech in the form of radar cruise control, pre-collision system and automatic high beams.

What this all means is that if other car manufacturers follow Toyota’s example and introduce Qi wireless charging, wired car chargers could be a thing of the past. 

What are your thoughts?  Would you like wireless charging in cars and would you be prepared to pay extra for it?

What is SlimPort?

The specifications of the recently announced Google Nexus 4 have an interesting feature in the form of SlimPort HDMI.  This is a technology which so far hasn’t received widespread attention, but this may change with its inclusion in the Google Nexus 4.  It has been developed by Analogix to provide easy and convenient connection of devices equipped with micoUSB sockets to large displays

SlimPort HDMI AdapterThe technology is based on the VESA DisplayPort standard. However Analogix has cleverly combined functionality which would have traditionally used several cables into one which they call C-Wire.  This enables manufacturers to incorporate SlimPort into existing microUSB connectors.  With the result that display output, data and charging can be dealt with by one single connector.

SlimPort has been designed to use virtually zero power, meaning that it won’t drain any power from your portable device.  So you can view content on a large screen with the reassurance that you are not using any additional battery power, compared to normal viewing.

Being based on DisplayPort technology Analogix are able to convert the display signal to a variety of standards.  This means that they are able to produce SlimPort variations of DVI, VGA and DisplayPort in addition to HDMI adapters

What does this mean for the future of portable devices?

  • As a consumer you will be able to connect your portable device to large screens and enjoy high definition full 1080p video with 3D graphics and audio.
  • Connecting your portable device to a large screen can be done without having to worry about unnecessary battery power drain.
  • There is the possibility of connecting to a variety of display standards.  Making it easy to connect to a TV, monitor or projector bring more opportunities for viewing media content or providing presentations. 

The SlimPort HDMI adapter is already stated as being available by Analogix and the unit features a convenient charging port.  This makes for easy charging of your portable device while you have it connected to a large display.
