HTC Thunderbolt ADR6400L Mobile Handset

0

 

The HTC Thunderbolt offers a few firsts for the growing Taiwanese-based smartphone manufacture. According to IHS iSuppli, there are the  key features.

 

  1. It is the first handset to offer long term evolution (LTE) connectivity over the wide 10MHz bandwdith Verizon spectrum in the 700Mhz space.
  2. It offers the first simultaneous voice and data over CDMA – putting CDMA-based 3G handsets finally on par with what WCDMA networks have enjoyed for the past few years.
  3. A level of complexity and feature sets not seen before in CDMA-based smartphones including Qualcomm’s first LTE solution, use of multiple RF transceivers, a massive 32GB microSD card (the highest cost item in the Bill of Materials (BOM)) and the second generation MSM8655 SnapDragon processor.

 

Next time you want to buy a phone, never say who is HTC. That company has emerged to become a big player in the industry. It is innovating and taking market shares from the likes of Nokia and Motorola. It is firing on all cylinders. From Indulge for MetroPCS to this new Thunderbolt, this device is solid. Recall that the first 4G in America in Sprint was made by HTC. So they are in the business of becoming firsts in many things now.

Fellowship and Scholar Competition – The Turing Centenary Research Project

THE TURING CENTENARY RESEARCH PROJECT:
MIND, MECHANISM AND MATHEMATICS

Research Fellowship and Scholar Competition
http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/give-page.php?408
Submission deadline – December 16, 2011

 

More than any other figure, Turing has left a coherent scientific agenda
related to many of the ‘Big Questions’ concerning the relationship between
the human mind, mechanism in nature, and the mathematics required to
clarify and answer these questions. The very breadth and fundamental
nature of Turing’s impact makes the centenary celebration a hugely
opportune period in which to reassert the role of basic thinking in
relation to deep and intractable problems facing science.

 

 

‘The Turing Centenary Research Project – Mind, Mechanism and Mathematics’,
supported by a major grant from the John Templeton Foundation, arises from
the above-mentioned scientific agenda, and is aimed at researchers still
within ten years of receiving their Ph.D. The participants in the research
project will be the winners of the ‘Mind, Mechanism and Mathematics’
competition, designed to provide significant funding support for eight
young researchers. Five of the winners will become JTF ‘Turing Research
Fellows’ with an award of 75,000 UK pounds each; and awards of 45,000 UK
pounds will be for JTF ‘Turing Research Scholars’ in the 16 to 25
age-group.

 

 

The competition is organised in conjunction with the Turing Centenary
Celebration, to be held June 22-25, 2012, at the Manchester City Hall and
the University of Manchester. The award winners will be duly honoured on
the June 23, 2012 centenary of Turing’s birth.

Samsung Indulge 4G LTE – IHS iSuppli Tears It Down

0

 

 

We received this from our email and sharing it in totality. It is about the new Samsung device that was designed for MetroPCS, a second tier network in US that operates in many urban areas and cities. You do not expect to see this phone or device in Nigeria because it is locked.

 

Samsung and MetroPCS hope that its first Android-based long term evolution (LTE) smartphone will have customers Indulging in all the new features it offers.

 

The Samsung Indulge is designed and priced very much as a second tier smartphone with lower overall cost than the leading handsets in the 4G/LTE market.

 

Given the differences in price between this lower priced handset versus the mainstream high-profile handsets, IHS iSuppli’s Teardown Analysis Service wanted to find out what these differences are inside the Indulge.

 

What we found inside is a home-grown Samsung CMC22000 baseband processor that works in conjunction with the discrete Samsung Apps processor and a Qualcomm QSC6075 tri band CDMA baseband chip. Samsung elected to use their own silicon and design in the LTE Indulge in order to cut down on the price of the device.

 

We also determined the complete component count of the Indulge that is on par with other LTE handsets that we have examined. But we also have the complete Bill of Materials (BOM) of the device, right down to every frame, resistor, component and screw with a price tagged on all of them.

 

The Most Advanced Social Advertising Platform in Nigeria – Adloopz, a Creation of Geeks

3

Tekedia has reviewed many sites – but nothing has come close in the domain of social media advertising platform to adloopz. Here, adloopz gets triple crowns. What makes it so exciting is that it is a creation of a team of really young Nigerian developers. And they are David Adamo Jr, Omotola Anjorin Jr., Adedayo Adekunle, Efe Amadasun and Sope Johnson.

 

Adloopz is an integrated social advertising service that allows people to connect with others who have services or products of benefit to them. Adloopz helps people to spread the news of their products/services via adverts they create on Adloopz which gets shared across several social networks. Yes, Adloopz allows you to post adverts, share them with your friends and followers, and also lets others do the same.  And at the end, they provide some really nice statistics that let you know how your adverts are doing.

 

This is how it works

 

Log into your account. Go to the settings page and setup any information you feel will help your customers get in touch with you. Link your adloopz account to your social networks and you are good to browse around.

 

Click on the ever present “Post ad” button to create a new advert. Upload pictures and add meaningful descriptions about what you are trying to advertise. Add any other information that will help us know when and where to serve your adverts.

 

Now that your adverts are created and published to the advert feed. It’s time to create more awareness. Looping sends details of your adverts to the networks you have setup. And as you loop your adverts, and adverts you see on the site, others do the same.

 

You can comment on adverts, like them, share them to your social networks and email them to others. Our statistics help you accurately guage user interaction and follow up accordingly.

 

Search for all kinds of things. as far as it can be advertised, you will find it here, along with information about the advertiser. Follow advertisers and be the first to know when they have a new offering.

 

Invite your friends from twitter, yahoo, gmail, hotmail. Let your them know what is going on here. We need more people to join our community. The more we are, the better the experience.

 

Here are some adverts that are running in this platform. There are companies outside Nigeria that are adverting in this young company. As we watched, there were increasingly. The sleek design, the interface and the simplicity will make this company a huge success.

 

Tekedia was sent a code to enable us evaluate the site. Of course, it has become very natural for us to get free things now. And we are very grateful for all the readers and fans of Tekedia.

 

First we noticed the following cool innovations to reduce spams. Did you notice that they used slider to unlock the sign up button. This is very cool and perhaps the first time we are seeing it.

 

When we got in, this is what we saw with many brands before it. It was simply great.

 

This is what Tekedia got. Click here to see our ad in adloopz

They need to add the following features

– They must have mobile-ready features so that mobile users can do this

– They must work hard to create the ad publication network. That means they have to build presence in Facebook and Twitter so that when someone uploads, it is populated across all platforms. The more platforms they create, the higher the impacts.
