M16C microcontrollers
The M16C is a 16-bit embedded microcontroller originally developed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. It is available in a number of different versions with innumerable amounts of flash memory and uses the same instruction set crosswise the range which allows attention developers to keep the same code base and development tools.
R8C microcontrollers
The R8C is a 16-bit microcontroller that was developed as a smaller and cheaper version of the M16C. It retains the M16C’s 16-bit CISC architecture and instruction set, but trades size for performance by reducing the internal data bus from 16 bits to 8 bits. It is available in a number of different versions with up to 128KB of flash memory and SRAM.
All R8C have an internal ring oscillator and can be used without an external resonator. Ordinary interfaces are UART and the R8C/22 and R8C/23 devices have CAN interfaces. Some devices have an internal data flash which is meant as a replacement for a series EEPROM, although it handles less write cycles as a real series EEPROM. R8C devices also have On Chip Debugging (see In-circuit emulator).
M32C microcontrollers
The M32C is a 16/32-bit embedded microcontroller originally developed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation as a 32-bit version of the M16C. It is available in a number of different versions with up to 1MB of flash memory and up to 48KB of RAM.

Will 3G meet consumer expectation?..

Will 3G meet consumer expectation?…

The ever growing demand for richer and sophisticated applications on mobile cell phone has greatly influenced the exponential growth in wireless communication. Even before the penetration of 2.5G in to the rural market by now urbanites are counting days for full fledged 3G network with fantastic expectation.

Many developed countries are by now functioning with full stretched wings in 3G. In India regime is yet to auction the bandwidth that 3G is demanding.

As 3G is having very large  bandwidth compared to its predecessors, consumers are expecting much luxurious services from it, such as high speed internet, video conferencing on go, high quality picture, online streaming video & audio etc. Nearly 5% of mobile users have by now upgraded themselves with 3G handsets.

While service providers like Airtel, Vodafone, Thought cellular etc are still working out strategy for their legacy systems and infrastructure to fulfill consumers need, handset manufacturers like Nokia, LG, Kyocera, Glide and applications developers are by now much ahead and racing towards 4G networks. Nokia N series is said to be the best apposite mobile for 3G network in Indian market.

The attention developers are using SDP and IMS for rising many multimedia applications apposite to 3G and beyond.

But in malevolence of all these what needs to be seen is will service providers really meet the required/expected bandwidth for individual consumer?. There is a possibility that the extra bandwidth will be used to serve more number of customer with existing voice based services and limited VAS. But they may also introduce premium services with privileged service charge to limited customer.

Therefore its still a “wait and mind” scenario for end user whether he will be really able to delight in the facilities what 3G has promised.

5 ways to conserve your iPhone battery

When it comes to geek chic, the Apple iPhone — available through Rogers and Fido, and soon, Bell Mobility and Telus, too — still remains the king of the smartphones for its gorgeous touchscreen, Wi-Fi web browsing, iPod integration and support for the awesome App Store and its nearly 100,000 downloads.

But for everything this digital Swiss Army Knife can do there’s an inevitable tradeoff: battery life.

While Apple has added a few gifted battery-saving tricks — such as turning the screen off when you hold it up to your face to make a call — there are still a few things you can do to squeeze more life out of the smartphone (aside from buying a battery pack, of course).

A few suggestions:

* The iPhone’s built-in radios — such as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth — can be draining on the battery. Therefore, if you don’t need them, turn some of all of these radios off in the Settings options. That being said, if you like to surf the web, do so via Wi-Fi instead of cellular connectivity as it’ll be simpler on the battery (and wallet).

* Dim the brightness on your iPhone using the slider, as the brighter you keep your screen, the quicker it’ll eat away at your battery. Also, make sure the iPhone screen is set to turn off if it detects inactivity for a minute or two — this can be selected in the Auto-Lock area in the General Settings menu.

* Like a BlackBerry, the iPhone is competent of “push mail,” importance your messages are pushed to the phone automatically instead of logging online to pull them down. But push mail can drain the battery quicker in view of the fact that it’s constantly logging into your mail server to send you new messages. If you don’t need it, disable this “push” feature in the Settings area.

* Don’t leave your iPhone in extreme heat or cold, such as in a car for a long period of time, as it could compromise the battery life for your smartphone (and its overall endurance). Also, only charge up the iPhone only when you need it — not when it’s 80 percent charged.

* Finally, everlastingly download the latest software updates for the iPhone via iTunes, as Apple engineers everlastingly try to find new ways to extend battery life. You should be prompted with new software updates automatically, but it doesn’t hurt to click the “Check for Update” tab when in iTunes as a back-up.

*We supply all kinds of batteries such as replacement iPod Batteries, Apple, Creative, List, Fujifilm, Kodak, Nikon, Panasonic, Casio, JVC, Konica/Minolta, Kyocera/Yashica, Minolta, Olympus, Samsung, Sharp.

How to invest in the OLED display revolution

OLED is a new exciting technology, enabling thin, well-methodical and bright displays and lighting. Many broadcast consider OLEDs to be the next-generation show, television and lighting tech. The the makings sales of OLEDs in the next few years is billion of dollars. In fact, the OLED show market today is estimated at 600M$, and is forecasted to grow to 5.5B$ by 2015. OLED lighting will take off (with a bit of luck) by 2011, and reach 6B$ in revenue in 2018. There are many companies working on OLEDs, from huge corporations likeSony, Samsung, LG, Kodak and GE, to small investigate and IP companies. There are several types of companies involved in this market:

Investigate / IP companies: researching OLEDs, trying to get hold of vital patents relating to OLED manufacture, OLED materials and correlated inventions. Chemical companies: mostly involved in OLED material production and IP OLED manufacturers: the real panel makers OLED doohickey companies or resellers: companies that embed OLEDs in their products (cell phones, TVs, etc.) or simply resell persons panels.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there are competing techs within the OLED world – Polymer based OLEDs vs Small Molecules, for examples. So even if OLED are booming, it might be that not all OLED companies will benefit… Here are some suggestions for publicly traded OLED companies: Small companies, who focus on OLEDs are more risky, but the rewards here may be larger.

Universal Show Corporation: UDC is an OLED investigate company, and one of the field’s pioneers. UDC is involved in OLED IP, and holds many patent, correlated to the commercialization of OLEDs, and also correlated to flexible,t ransparent, stacked and phosphorescent (PHOLED) displays and lighting panels. UDC licenses its OLED production IP, and also sells chemical materials to be used in the production process. UDC lists Samsung SDI, CMEL, Konica Minolta and Kyocera as its licensees.

Some Insight Into Bing and Why You May Actually Like It

Not all search engines are made equal, if they were Google wouldn’t have over 60% of the world’s search market. But is Bing a Google killer or just another search with a few gimmicks?

At first glance, Microsoft’s msn.com replacement looks surprisingly familiar. It has a search box in the middle of the screen, some links along the top to sign in or start an account and other links that access “images, videos, shopping, news, maps and travel.” So, upon first look, it seems that Microsoft spent 100 million dollars to start… Google! But this is really where the similarities stop.

Bing is livened up by a bracing background persona that links to some fascinating facts and videos about the pictures when you rollover particular areas. Clean, but it is not exactly going to make Bing the search engine of choice.

So how about their search results?

Search results are showed in the same format as Google and even their results are similar. When I searched for “Kyocera Kansas City” Tekniq popped up as #1 on both search engines. But on Bing I was able to hover my mouse over a small symbol to the right of the results and see a text preview of the page and what the page links to. This small feature could be handy, but with high speed internet it’s probably just quicker to click and go to the site to see it yourself.

So where does it really excel?

Bing may be similar in appearance and functionality to Google for searching, but where Bing really dazzles is with its other programs.

1. Bing Images

Bing allows for better persona searching and showing. You can customize the layout of the images and there is no flipping through pages to see more results, simply scroll down and more images appear.

Bing also has a “Show similar Images” link on every persona. This is fantastic for finding the type of persona you want. So if you want an persona of a person talking on a phone, you can type in “phone” and then find the persona that you want and click “Show similar images” and you will see more like that persona.

2. Bing Videos

Bing has a searchable video service that has video’s from YouTube, ABC, BBC and other sites. It also has a quick preview feature where you can roll over the video and it will start streaming it immediately so you can preview the video before even clicking on it.

3. Bing Shopping with cashback

Perhaps one of the best features that Bing has is their shopping feature. It is simple to use and similar to Google shopping but they have a cashback program that pays you up to 10% for buying from particular vendors.

Some of their prices seem to correspond to the incorrect products, but one can only assume that it is because the service is new. If they fix this then why would you ever shop online any other way?

4. Bing Maps

Bing’s mapping feature is leftover from live.com. But if you have never checked it out, I reckon you may be impressed. It has fantastic satellite and areal imagery that let you view your household from all four angles instead of just a bird’s eye view. It also has a plug-in that you can install to access right 3d mapping.

Though it doesn’t have an answer to Google Streets, it is still a nice tool and excellent in its own right.

End

Bing really does deliver some impressive features without losing what most like about Google. If Google doesn’t respond to some of these features by making changes of their own, then Bing may be a touch to reckon with. My estimate is that Google responds in a huge way and is able to leverage their name to once again increase their market. But for now, Bing may be the search engine of choice.

Top 5 Small Multifunction Home Office Printers in 2009

The small multifunction home office printers were developed to cater to the market known as SOHO, importance small office home office. This generally includes individuals operating from home, small businesses and small divisions of large companies. These multifunction printers normally have the functions of printing, scanning, photocopying, faxing, and e-mailing. The major brands supplying this segment are Brother, List, Dell, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, Lexmark, Ricoh, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, and Xerox. Manufacturers like Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Oce, Okidata, and Olivetti also operate in this market with negligible shares. Let us compare the top 5 small multifunction home office printers in 2009.

Brother MFC-685CW

Brother MFC-685CW is a pure multifunction printer and also inexpensive. The footprint of the machine is very less, with 18.4” width, 14.6” depth, and 7.1” height. The 10-page document feeder is flush with the lid of the scanner, thus saving lot of space. The PictBridge USB port and the 2 memory card slots are mounted in the front. A rare 3.3” widescreen color LCD control panel is provided in this machine to preview pictures on one side and information on the other side.

The message center allows you to play back or erase voice messages. The fax panel lets you preview, pause/redial, hold, and operate the speaker phone. The corded handset enables manual phone calls. The paper tray could hold 100 plain papers, while the dedicated photo tray could contain 20 sheets of 4×6 photo paper. The black brother ink cartridge tank provides about 500 pages, while the cyan, yellow, and magenta tanks offer about 400 pages each.

The multifunction printer comes with a scanner, copier, and fax functions, away from each other from a built-in answering machine. The fax options are highly sophisticated in this low-priced machine.

List Pixma MX700

List Pixma MX700 is a printer with quick operations and high quality output. The 1.8” color LCD panel is not fully sufficient for photo previewing but it is alright for other menus. The front paper input tray could hold 110 sheets of plain paper. The rear tray is recommended for photo paper or thin T-shirts. PictBridge port and memory cards are not provided in this printer. Further, the limited fax functions, as well as the other limited task speeds, make it fit only for light printing needs.

HP Officejet J6480

HP Officejet J6480 comes with lot of high-end hardware like autoduplexer, optical character recognition scanner, wireless setup, etc. Still, the machine does not have PictBridge support and fax functions are limited to three. The printer is slower and larger in size than other similar models. The trays do not fold into the body. If you need a very harsh multifunction printer that you would not go around very much, then you could opt for this machine.

Epson Artisan 800

Epson Artisan 800 is a machine for high quality photo prints and documents. The footprint is practically small and the output speed is the maximum, compared to other similar models. But, the software in the machine has got lot of bugs and work is continuously disrupted. The output tray is made of poor plastic and the input tray is also quite delicate and is prone to frequent paper jams.
Kodak ESP 5

Kodak ESP 5 comes with functions of printing, scanning, and copying. The photo editing software is a watered down version and not suitable for professional photo edit jobs. The printer also suffers from innumerable mechanical errors and problems. The print speed is average and the graphics quality does not have high definition. Price is high for such a poor model.

Know Your Bluetooth Car Kit Basics

When shopping around for a Bluetooth car kit, make sure to compare prices as well as Bluetooth capabilities and accessories. Many different brand names are now competing with the Bluetooth car kit accessories field, so it pays to be patient and take the time to find just the right car kit to suit your needs.

When considering a Bluetooth car kit, it’s best to have a professional install the system, ensuring proper installation and guidelines. Most styles of Bluetooth car kit offers will contain a major component that glue to your dashboard, any in front or behind. Hands free devices are the way to go these days, and reduce the number of broadcast driving and talking on the phone at the same time, a key safety issue. Several different functions are available with most Bluetooth car kit offerings, as well as price ranges. When shopping, do consider the option of ‘available call’ controls on the control switch and whether or not the Bluetooth car kit will allow you to automatically mute the stereo system in your vehicle when receiving incoming calls. The ability to control speaker voices through an earpiece or your car’s stereo speakers is also an option to consider.

A Bluetooth car kit can range between $150 and $350 for the most ordinary Motorola HR850 and Motorola IHF1000 Bluetooth car kit models. The Kyocera Koi KX2 is also a ordinary choice, as are the Parrot CK3100 and Parrot CK3300 GPS Bluetooth car kit models. Sony Ericsson offers the HCB-300 and HCB 700 Bluetooth car kit models, also highly rated.

A Bluetooth car kit comes with manifold functions and options that will suit just about any customer need. The most basic function controls within a Bluetooth car kit contain but are not limited to volume, mute and voice activation capabilities as well as answer and end functions. Most models come with a stand-alone speaker, though many customers prefer to hook up the Bluetooth car kit to their vehicle speaker system. Many models automatically mute stereo systems, but check ahead of time to make sure this feature is available on the Bluetooth car kit model that you’re thinking of purchasing. Other models offer noise cancellation as well.

A Bluetooth car kit is well-matched with just about every major brand of cell phones, computer brands and models out there, in addition to PDAs. Such well-matched models contain Blackberry LG, Audiovox, HP, iPAQ, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson brands. The leading Bluetooth car kit on the market today is the Motorola IHF1000. This model goes beyond just simple voice activation and allows the owner to voice dial numbers one at a time. The voice menu on most major brand of Bluetooth car kit systems allow users right hands free options when it comes to answering calls, dialing by name or via storage of over a dozen contacts, and dial by number on mobile phone keypad options. Most Bluetooth car kit systems come with keypads, directional microphone, module, wiring connectors and mounting hardware, everything you need for right, hands free communication.

Mobile Ringtones – Look in the History

Ringtones is one of the most ordinary and age-ancient features embedded in mobile phones. It has made its presence felt in view of the fact that the birth of mobile handsets and has evolved from simple monotone to full track songs. Just imagine if we had to hear these monotones throughout the existence of cell phones, it would have become very irritating for us to listen to that single tone all the time. But thanks to the ringtone format technology, today ringtones are available in innumerable formats for our convenience.

The first commercial mobile ring tone was made and delivered in Finland in 1998. It was when a Finnish mobile operator Radiolinja had begun with their downloadable mobile ring tone service called Harmonium. The Harmonium comprised of tools for general broadcast to start monophonic ring tones and a means to deliver them over-the-air (OTA) via SMS to a mobile handset and to bill customer on their phone bill. These ringtones supported only one tone at a time at varying pitches. Most of the first generation mobile phones were embedded with this kind of monophonic ringtones. These ringtones were available in innumerable formats depending on the phone model. One of the most ordinary formats for monophonic ringtones was RTTTL, which was in a text format and could be sent over-the-air (OTA) to a mobile handset via SMS. Most of the early versions of Nokia handset contain ringtones in this format. Some of the cell phones also included melody composer software that enabled us to start our own ringtones with the help of “keypress editor”. At this stage, other manufacturers developed their own formats like eMelody and imelody by Ericsson, and KWS by Kyocera’s and many more.

After the monophonic phase, came in the polyphonic ringtones, which are embedded in nearly all the recently launched handsets of major companies. These ringtones have been originated from Japan circa 2001. They are different from monophonic ringtones because they enable different types of notes to be played at the same time. These ringtones were most commonly found in MIDI formats. But, later on, other formats like SP-Midi and SMAF had also evolved.

Lastly, the third generation ringtones known as “truetones” or “realtones” are ringtones encoded with high fidelity formats such as MP3, AAC or WMA format. Truetones allow hi-fi recordings like vocals, to be used as a ringtone. The first format of truetones was AMR-WB, which were incorporated into Nokia handsets around 2004. This format allowed the extracts from the first recording or master track to be used as a ringtone, whereas the other two were purely instrumental. This is one of the reasons, why truetones have an edge over monophonic and polyphonic ringtones. It is also one of the medium used by the music industry to generate revenue, as extracts of the marks are often released as tones before the singles, in order to promote the album in the market.

Initially, ringtones were only available for download by the service providers and broadcast were charged for it. But thanks to the World Wide Web, Bluetooth and infrared technologies, getting ringtones is a much simpler task now.

Satellite Internet Vs. Cellular Wireless

If you live, work or trip in an area that cannot get broadband Internet like DSL or cable Internet, your options are generally dialup, satellite, cellular or wireless Internet access. While dialup, satellite and cellular Internet access are usually nationwide services, wireless Internet is a locally-operated service as the best technology today can only broadcast a wireless signal 10-28 miles.

Satellite Internet
Satellite Internet connects between a satellite receiver on your roof and a orbiting satellites. In order to use satellite Internet, you generally only need a clear exposure to the Southern sky. The two primary service providers are HughesNet and WildBlue.

In most cases, you will be required to buy and maintain the equipment (e.g. software updates). Satellite Internet is much quicker than dialup Internet, but download and upload speeds may vary greatly, and there typically is a latency period which makes VPN or voice-over-IP (VoIP) relations impractical.

Furthermore, additional expenditure are typically incurred for antenna re-alignments or adjustments.

Pros: Much quicker than dialup (20-40X quicker). Only requires a clear sight of the southern sky. Available at any location, no matter how remote.

Cons: Latency period which makes VPN or voice-over-IP (VoIP) relations impractical. Static IP address may be unavailable or available for an additional charge. Speeds may vary greatly. Threshold limits imposed (e.g. daily or monthly maximum treatment). May be affected by weather conditions.

Cost: Typical expenditure are $50-150/month. Equipment and installation expenditure $329-$600.

Cellular Phone Wireless (aka Mobile Broadband)
Several cell phone companies now offer high-speed wireless Internet via a cellular wireless card connected to your laptop. This cellular wireless card is not the same as a laptop wireless card used to connect to a home router or wifi network at a hotspot location (e.g. Starbucks).

A cellular wireless card works like dialup Internet access, but uses your cell phone to connect to the Internet. Cell phone wireless gives you the flexibility of connecting to the Internet from anywhere where you have cell phone signal. Speeds are much quicker than dialup but you cannot “share” your connection with other users, and you may incur per-minute charges (depending on the plot you select).

Pros: Much quicker than dialup (20-50X quicker). Available at any location where you have cell phone coverage. Fantastic for mobile professionals (e.g. realtors, field operators, etc.).

Cons: Internet relations drop (just like regular cell phone calls do). Cannot share the Internet connection with other computers. May incur per-minute charges (depending on the plot you select).

Cost: Typical expenditure are $50-150/month. Setup fees may be required.
