Glimpse in the future: Transparent Smartphones

The first prototype of a transparent smartphone has been revealed by Polytron corporation.

As you can see in the picture, the future of smartphones begins to unfold. Tablets, phones and everyday devices in a transparent pattern. A scene of the Future.

Polytron corporation has managed to create an -almost- transparent smartphone where only the memory card and the batteries are still visible.

The technology used in this invention is called ''Smart Glass'' and turns the phone transparent once activated. The device cannot still perform calls since it is in an experiemental level but the company continues the project making it more possible every day.

In the end, this device is the first step to a -controversial by many- technology that many companies experiement on. It may seem a great breakthrough and a top selling device in theory but lets consider the practical application: Beyond te fact that this technology is located many years into the future, it still promotes an invisible phone. How practical would an invisible phone be? Will the user be able to control the level of transparency? Also, what happens if it falls (fragility)? Does it support maintenance? Once these questions are answered, we will be able to form a better opinion about this -unquestionably- noteable creation.

Below you can find a video presentation of the transparent device:

Steve Jobs: Death Can't stop you... :-)

no comments.... :D

RIP Steve Jobs

Sadly, it is true. The man that has given nothing but inspiration to the world has succumbed to his ill (as well as irreversible) health condition.

Steve Jobs has recently quit the position of the CEO in Apple due to these problems. Liver Cancer has reached a point of preventing him from stapping up to the needs of that position. But today Steve Jobs has died, leaving the world in grief. 

Steve Jobs, founer of Apple, has created a great impact through his ideas to the world. His thoughts have literally changed the way we act, work, interact, amuse and educate ourselves. His innovative ideas have created products used by people all over the world, products such as the iPhone, Mac, iPad and so on...

Steve Jobs died at the age of 56 years old.

Rest in piece Steve, you will be missed...

Amazon Kindle 'Fire' sells 95.000 pieces on its first 24 hours

Amazon Kinde 'Fire' has overpassed everyones ambitions on its first days of release, reaching 95000 sales just in a matter of 24 hours (according to eDataSource reports). 

Kindle Fire was expected to be a huge success by everyone. It combines all the features that make it a very stable and competitive tablet. If we takeinto consideration the price-features ratio, Kindle Fire may overpass even iPad since Kindle's price at the moment is much much lower. Beyond that, so far Kindle's sales have largely overpassed other manufacturers tablets such as HTC, Samsung or even Blackberry.

Kindle has reported more than 100.000 sales so far reaching a milestone for Amazon. Beyond that, the sky is the limit since the tablet so far is available only in the US. It will be interesting to see the people's reaction to it once it reaches UK and Europe in general. Rumor has it that in the UK its price will be around  159 Pounds.

Facebook 'Timeline'

A new improvement has been revealed by Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook at the f8 conference in San Francisco. 

What is the improvement? The personal profile itself. Facebook profile has been looking like the last day of your life. Visual Facts only refered to your actions one or two days before or even a week. But now Facebook profile looks like more of a blog, showing a catalogue of your Facebook activity so far (starting at 2008!). This profile will list all of your apps, all of your stories, all your links... it will be a complete list of your Facebook activity.

Nostalgia on Facebook or an act of self defence? We all know that Google Plus has been released publicly and it is rumored to de-throne Facebook from the king of social networks. The last few days we constantly see changes in the profile, user interface and even if we go back in time a little bit we see new functions on Facebook (like the videochat). It surely looks like the battle between Facebook and Google+ will be a tremendous one.

Facebook timeline will be available soon. For more information see this: http://www.facebook.com/about/timeline
