iOS Dominates In-Flight Wi-Fi Access (Gogo via Apple Insider)


In-flight Wi-Fi provider Gogo reported that iOS users account for the lion's share of mobile devices accessing the company's ground-to-air Wi-Fi network, with iPhone owners comprising some 73 percent of all traffic originating from smartphones.

According to Gogo, an in-flight Wi-Fi provider operating on 1,800 aircraft across ten carriers, including United, Delta and American Airlines, some 84 percent of all mobile devices connecting to its service have been identified as running Apple's iOS. Products using rival operating system Android account for the remaining 16 percent.

While iOS still rules the skies, the OS saw a decline from a 96.8 percent share in 2011, while Android use grew 400 percent over the same period.

Breaking down the statistics by device, smartphones and tablets combine to make up 67 percent of portables being used to access the internet in-flight. Tablets enjoy the most use with a 35 percent share, while laptops and smartphones comes in at 33 percent and 32 percent, respectively.

Apple's presence is dominating, with the iPhone accounting for 73 percent of smartphones recorded, compared to Android's 26 percent. Handsets running on BlackBerry and Windows didn't break the 1 percent mark.

Gogo said that passengers spend most of their time surfing the Web, with Apple's Safari being the most used browser, followed by Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome. Other Internet activities ranking high on the list of things to do while traveling include writing emails, accessing social media sites, checking sports scores and shopping.

Transparent Cell Phone on the Horizon

Transparent anything is cool. Seriously, things that are see through automatically scream ‘futuristic’ based on all the sci-fi shows and movies that used transparent props. They sort of defy all logic, especially when technology is involved. Yet liquid crystal technology and its constant switching open and closed are being put to use to make a transparent phone possible. Which makes me wonder, will we someday lose our phones because we literally can’t see it?

A few companies, including, Polytron Technologies are working to produce a transparent smartphone. Their Smart Glass technology looks cloudy white. But when powered on the switching molecules open up and the device becomes opaque. Obviously other technology in the phone (SIM card, SD card, battery, speaker, camera) are not transparent. Polytron anticipates having an opaque filter to cover those less sexy spots. Working prototypes are expected this year and with any luck Polytron will find some interested phone manufacturers and become an OEM partner. So keep an eye out (if you can see them) for transparent phones in the near future.

Charge with Body Heat

Think about how much power our bodies generate. We are truly machines, constantly taking in energy and burning or storing it for future use. We rely on electronic devices for so many parts of our life, all of which have to be plugged into a power source. It seems logical that we should be able to harness the energy in our body and funnel it towards electrical uses. Many have tried and it finally looks like someone succeeded in making an efficient device to do exactly that.

Fujifilm recently revealed a high-efficiency Thermoelectric Converter in a flexible film format. The thought is the substance attaches to our skin and immediately begins producing electricity from the heat you give off.  Fujifilm’s particular polymer can be manufactured via printer too, which enables virtually any size or shape film. Solar power could be added to the film to enable even more charging.  Imagine running low on phone power, applying this film, plugging into the phone and letting your body heat charge your device. OK, maybe that is far off. Medical devices would probably be the first to experience this au-natural charging product. Live demonstrations of the product are occurring at trade shows so hopefully some manufacturers will take note. And maybe someday our body heat will charge our lives.

New innovation from Honda

New innovation from Honda to respond the Global Warming issue. Unlike other motorcycles, this Honda Cub come with a new concept by using Hydrogen fuel as it power source. So, no more gasoline.
This model is currently still in the concept, the design is based on a very popular model of Honda motorcycle in use today, the Honda Cub.

Concept Headphones with the screen

Who said that the headphones should only output sound in the ears of their owners? Who says that they can not even show? After all, it’s good – listen to music and not to affect the surrounding. Only you, headphones and music! But now it seems that the time has come for change. 

Designer Mike Enayah introduced the concept of headphones with integrated bracket for iPhone, which turns the device into an analogue a glasses with virtual reality . The design of these headphones used metal, wood, and plastic. 

        

Concept Samsung flip

Final concept the Samsung flip  uses a front screen that wraps around to the inner screen, allowing for a low profile notification bar separated from the main display. The objective for this project is to design a phone with the Samsung brand name using new OLED screen technologies. With screens becoming thinner and now able to fold and bend, there are many new possibilities in the area of phone design.    

Flip feature allows you to set your phone up in a number of convenient positions. Use front screen for easy access to all apps or quick text/ e-mail viewing while phone is closed. Different interfaces for different phone positions.Flip outer screen towards you or open phone and set up for the best viewing position. 
Screen wraps around the bottom of the phone where the notification bar is located. This helps reduce clutter and keeps the notification bar hidden and off the main screen. 
Set your phone up in the best position for easy hands free video chatting. Works for both open and closed phone configurations. Also utilize the inner screen as one display or two, allowing for multiple apps to be opened and viewed at the same time.

Concept Flexible Cell Phone and new technology

A popular class the phones, of folding in two, can be reborn again, says designer Christian de Poorter. His new concept iFlex uses the advancements in flexible electronics and combines the advantages of a touch phone with a form factor "clamshell". The smartphone has a magnetic lock that will not allow his to open up when folded. Flexible screen integrated in the housing of a flexible nylon material, which is also can be folded. This a concept, believes a author the development,  will contribute to the emergence of a new class of applications that can not be realized with traditional rigid the displays. For example, a smartphone can turn into the compact makeup for women. Or, be more the convenient alarm clock, or to help the participants of the Conference, working as a table with the name. A development  can become a reality in a few years, because Samsung is going to introduce commercial gadgets based on flexible screens later this year.
