Switched On: iOS 6 gets back from the app Posted: 30 Sep 2012 02:58 PM PDT Switched On: iOS 6 gets back from the app ![]() Switched On: iOS 6 gets back from the app Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology. Apple's App Store has more smartphone apps than those of its competitors. But the sheer size of the library is not the only source of consternation for Google or Microsoft, which would both readily concede that it's also important to obtain the kind of key apps, optimized apps and platform-first apps the iPhone enjoys. The iPhone's commanding marketplace lead is due to several factors. These include the huge number and historical affluence of its users and the ease of its App Store. The iPhone, though, was not the first phone to have apps. In fact, in its early days, it didn't have apps at all as the company urged developers to create optimized web apps for the platform similar to what Mozilla is now advocating for its streamlined mobile operating system Boot2Gecko. Apple originally put its efforts into creating archetypical apps for tasks such as calling, browsing, email and mapping. Rather than open the iPhone to third-party developers at first, it handpicked partners for various features, such as Google for maps and Yahoo for weather and stocks.Continue reading Switched On: iOS 6 gets back from the appFiled under: Cellphones, Tablets, SoftwareSwitched On: iOS 6 gets back from the app originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:30:00 EDT.

Hyundai fuel cell chief says EV makers jumped the gun Posted: 30 Sep 2012 01:19 PM PDT Hyundai fuel cell chief says EV makers jumped the gun ![]() Hyundai fuel cell chief says EV makers jumped the gun Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Hydrogen, Hyundai Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) spew water vapor. FCEV enthusiasts are likely hoping that the head of fuel-cell research at Hyundai isn't just spewing hot air. Hyundai's Lim Tae-won said electric-vehicle makers like Nissan started mass-producing models such as the Leaf too early and are hurting mass acceptance of EVs because there isn't a sufficient vehicle charging infrastructure in place to support broad sales. Specifically, Reuters reports, he said: "It was a hasty approach. The battery electric cars may have helped raise brand value for a couple of years, but ended up slowing down the take-off in the market." The Hyundai executive also said that hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) will become price competitive with battery-electric vehicles sometime between 2020 and 2025, and that FCEVs will become preferred to battery-electric vehicles for the reasons we've all heard before: FCEVs can go about as far as a conventional fossil-fueled vehicle on a full tank - roughly four times a most fully charged EVs. FCEVs also don't emit greenhouse gas emissions. At the Paris Motor Show earlier this week, Hyundai said that it will make the first mass-produced FCEV. This will be the ix35 (it's the Tucson in the U.S.) fuel-cell crossover and will be available to the public for lease by the end of the year. Through 2015, Hyundai says it will make about 1,000 ix35 FCEVs, which have a full-tank range of about 365 miles. Earlier this week, Hyundai said it would lease 15 ix35 FCEVs to the city of Copenhagen, which is looking to become "carbon free" by 2025.Hyundai fuel cell chief says EV makers jumped the gun originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:19:00 EST.

B&N makes the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight's $20 price drop official Posted: 30 Sep 2012 10:38 AM PDT B&N makes the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight's $20 price drop official ![]() B&N makes the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight's $20 price drop official The Nook's $20 price drop is more than the whim of a few major retailers -- it's Barnes & Noble's new MSRP. Following Walmart and Target's recent discounts, the company's own website is now listing the glowing e-reader at its new $119 price. The reduction is almost assuredly in preparation for Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, as B&N's announcement makes a point of bragging about the Simple Touch with Glowlight's included AC adapter and aversion to built-in ads.

New process for nanotube semiconductors could be graphene's ticket to primetime... Posted: 30 Sep 2012 10:38 AM PDT New process for nanotube semiconductors could be graphene's ticket to primetime (video) ![]() New process for nanotube semiconductors could be graphene's ticket to primetime (video) In many ways, graphene is one of technology's sickest jokes. The tantalizing promise of cheap to produce, efficient to run materials, that could turn the next page in gadget history has always remained frustratingly out of reach. Now, a new process for creating semiconductors grown on graphene could see the super material commercialized in the next five years. Developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the patented process "bombs" graphene with gallium, which forms droplets, and naturally arranges itself to match graphene's famous hexagonal pattern. Then, arsenic is added to the mix, which enters the droplets and crystallizes at the bottom, creating a stalk. After a few minutes of this process the droplets are raised by the desired height. The new process also does away with the need for a (relatively) thick substrate to grow the nanowire on, making it cheaper, more flexible and transparent. The inventors state that this could be used in flexible and efficient solar cells and light emitting diodes. We say forward the revolution.Continue reading New process for nanotube semiconductors could be graphene's ticket to primetime (video)Filed under: Science, AltNew process for nanotube semiconductors could be graphene's ticket to primetime (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 12:15:00 EDT.

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 07:55 AM PDT Inhabitat's Week in Green: ECOLAR house, transparent solar panel and Star Wars terrariums ![]() Inhabitat's Week in Green: ECOLAR house, transparent solar panel and Star Wars terrariums Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green. For the past two weeks Inhabitat has been reporting live from the Solar Decathlon Europe in Madrid, where 18 student teams from around the world have been competing for the title of the world's most efficient solar-powered prefab house. As usual, suspense was running high in the final days of the competition, and we're excited to announce that Team Rhône-Alpes' Canopea House has been named this year's winner! The beautiful modular house took top honors in the architecture and sustainability categories, and it features a 10.7 kW photovoltaic array on the roof that produces more than enough energy to power the home. Some of the other standouts at the Solar Decathlon Europe include Germany's ECOLAR House, which features a flexible, modular design that can expand or shrink to accommodate the needs of its owners. It came as no surprise that the German team was tops in the engineering category, and the team incorporated hemp insulation in the floors, walls and ceiling to prevent thermal loss. Team Andalucia's Patio 2.12 House, which consists of four separate prefabricated modules built around an interior courtyard, scored high marks for energy efficiency and innovation. And although Italy's MED in Italy House might not look like much on the outside, step inside and you'll enter a different world altogether. The highly efficient home features a central courtyard and a rooftop photovoltaic array that generates about 9.33 kWh of energy per year -- roughly double what it needs. Team Rome also added wall layers that can be filled with heavy materials to provide high thermal mass once the home is installed.Continue reading Inhabitat's Week in Green: ECOLAR house, transparent solar panel and Star Wars terrariumsFiled under: Misc, Transportation, ScienceInhabitat's Week in Green: ECOLAR house, transparent solar panel and Star Wars terrariums originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 10:30:00 EDT.

Sony shuts down PSP Comic Store after October 30th, leaves most of us in the lur... Posted: 30 Sep 2012 06:11 AM PDT Sony shuts down PSP Comic Store after October 30th, leaves most of us in the lurch for now ![]() Sony shuts down PSP Comic Store after October 30th, leaves most of us in the lurch for now PSP Comic Store, we hardly knew ye. No really, we hardly knew ye -- which is probably why Sony is warning PSP owners that its comic book portal is shutting down after October 30th. Come Hallowe'en, we'll lose the option to download the necessary app or buy additional titles. Any currently owned comics will be available to download again until mid-January, but readers will be on their own to preserve existing libraries after that. Outside of Japan, that creates significant problems for literary PlayStation fans: while PS Vita owners in Sony's home country will get a Manga store and reader in October, there's no equivalent crutch for other countries (or any PSP owners) at this stage. The console maker is non-committal and says there's nothing it can discuss "at the moment," which to us is a hint that we shouldn't plan our reading hours around a PSP or PS Vita in the near future.

Lithium from salt water could make batteries, and EVs, less expensive Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:07 AM PDT Lithium from salt water could make batteries, and EVs, less expensive ![]() Lithium from salt water could make batteries, and EVs, less expensive Filed under: Emerging Technologies, EV/Plug-in, Hybrid Until another element is preferred or discovered, lithium will be the foundation for electric and hybrid vehicle batteries for the foreseeable future. It is an expensive part of the battery packs being installed and is keeping sticker prices fairly high. The price of lithium, the lightest metal, has jumped 35 percent in the past 18 months, according to Jonathan Lee, an analyst at Byron Capital Markets in Toronto. Making lithium-ion batteries less expensive is driving a lot of battery technology companies to look for alternatives, and forecasts that say lithium demand will be doubling in the next eight years based on sales of batteries in electric vehicles, make it more feasible. Simbol Materials, based in Pleasanton, CA, thinks brine offers a solution. The company's proposed Imperial Valley plant near the Mexican border would slash the time and cost needed to extract lithium from salty water, according to CEO Luka Erceg. Simbol may boost output from an initial 8,000 tons a year to as much as 64,000 tons by the end of the decade, Erceg said, equal to 21 percent of projected global demand. The company is convinced demand will be there. By 2020 there could be annual sales of 3.9 million hybrids, 1.4 million plug-in hybrids and 2.8 million full electric plug-in vehicles, Erceg said. Simbol is competing for business in a market dominated by four lithium producers, including Princeton, NJ-based Rockwood Holdings. Lithium is usually mined from ore, but brine evaporation could become its lowest-cost source. Simbol takes brine from geothermal power plants and extracts minerals via a reverse osmosis filtration system in a process that takes 90 minutes to 2 hours. Conventional methods using evaporation can take 18 months, Erceg says. If it all pans out, salt water could become the best source for lithium extraction. The supply is abundant and increasing - and no single company or country dominates the oceans.Lithium from salt water could make batteries, and EVs, less expensive originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 07:50:00 EST.

Google retires more services, consolidates others in continued efficiency bid Posted: 30 Sep 2012 04:31 AM PDT Google retires more services, consolidates others in continued efficiency bid ![]() Google retires more services, consolidates others in continued efficiency bid When you run as many services as Google does, every once in a while you're going to have to do some pruning. Evidently Mountain View's got the secateurs out, having just announced the next batch of its projects that will be getting axed wound down. For the chop are: AdSense for Feeds, Classic Plus, Spreadsheet Gadgets, Places for Android, and +1 Reports in Webmaster Tools. Other services are being merged into existing properties to prevent overlap, such as Google Storage for Picasa and Drive -- which are now consolidated -- and Insights for Search is now part of Google Trends. Naturally, the search giant claims this is all about streamlining, and improving other core products. If the retired service involves a paid subscription, or legacy data, then you'll need to check the specifics on the official blog to find out how this will affect you, which fortunately for you, is just a tap of the source link away.

LightSquared pitches new plans to FCC in attempt to end GPS interference hex Posted: 30 Sep 2012 02:18 AM PDT LightSquared pitches new plans to FCC in attempt to end GPS interference hex ![]() LightSquared pitches new plans to FCC in attempt to end GPS interference hex If you thought filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy was the final chapter in LightSquared's wireless network saga, you'd be wrong. Hedge-fund manager Philip Falcone is back at the FCC's doorstep with yet another proposal, which he hopes might snatch the maligned network from the jaws of GPS interference-related troubles. Two filings placed with the commission apparently outline plans to use its broadband network in a way that it believes won't interfere with GPS signals, along with the 5MHz of spectrum that are known not to cause any issues. Along with the proposed changes, LightSquared is reportedly set to ask for more time to have exclusive rights to propose a reorganization plan. If granted, this could finally mean some progress for the beleaguered project, but with investors worried that money being spent on this could be better-placed back in their pockets, Falcone will have everything crossed, while the FCC deliberates the situation.Filed under: Cellphones, GPS, MobileLightSquared pitches new plans to FCC in attempt to end GPS interference hex originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 05:04:00 EDT.

Razer Blade review (late 2012) Posted: 30 Sep 2012 12:09 AM PDT Razer Blade review (late 2012) ![]() Razer Blade review (late 2012) Razer has made a habit of catching us off guard -- breaking the mold as an accessory manufacturer by building laptops, prototype game handhelds and controller-toting tablets. Their Blade laptop cut through our expectations as well, featuring a beautiful aluminum shell and one of the thinnest profiles of any gaming rig on the market. It had some serious flaws, though: it was underpowered, had minor build issues and simply fell short in the audio department. Its maker, apparently, wasn't deterred: mere months after the original Blade's own debut, Razer is now introducing a successor. Most of the changes are internal: this model swaps out the original's Sandy Bridge CPU and last-generation NVIDIA graphics for a newly announced 2.2GHz Intel Core i7-3632QM processor and a Kepler-based GeForce GTX 660M GPU. It caught our interest -- Razer had previously insisted its first laptop wasn't built just for power, but for a premium experience. Now, the firm seems to be focusing on both (now that's a premium experience we can get behind). So, is this upgrade enough to make up for the OG version's shortcomings? Read on to find out.Gallery: Razer Blade review (late 2012)Continue reading Razer Blade review (late 2012)Filed under: Gaming, LaptopsRazer Blade review (late 2012) originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 03:01:00 EDT.

Its latest offering? The Nomad 17. As the name suggests this is a 17-inch notebook for gamers on the go. (Nomad, get it?) The new addition will support third-gen Intel Core i7 chips (up to 3.8GHz) and a maximum 32GB of RAM, with a choice of hard drive configurations. It's not all about the under-the-hood grunt, though, with Maingear offering a choice of six colors for what it's calling "hand-painted premium automotive paint jobs." As for the other spec options? You can expect NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M or 680M graphics, a 1,920 x 1080 display, combo Blue-ray optical drive, b / g / n wireless along with USB 2 / 3, DVI-I, HDMI and Fire Wire ports. So, this definitely sounds like a ride you can make your own.

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from is from David, who wants to know if you'd prefer a free cable or a cheaper device when you buy pro audio gear. If you're looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com. "I work for a small audio-tech company and we're currently getting close to releasing out first retail product, which does surround sound from stereo inputs -- kinda like Dolby Pro Logic, except good. Internally, we're agonizing over if we should include a stereo RCA cable. Of course, users will need to integrate an additional cable into their set up, but plenty of people will have spares lying around at home. Do you think it's better to: a) Include a cheap cable and let people who care buy a high quality one? b) Include a reasonable quality cable but increase the price? c) Include no cable and make it clear they need to buy one? Many thanks!"What a question! We're decidedly of two minds, since given a bit of haggling, most retailers will chuck in a branded lead, but we'd hate to get our shiny new gear home to find it's missing a key component the one time they don't.

Logitech Harmony Touch remote pops up unannounced at Best Buy Posted: 29 Sep 2012 04:49 PM PDT Logitech Harmony Touch remote pops up unannounced at Best Buy ![]() Logitech Harmony Touch remote pops up unannounced at Best Buy It's been a long time since we've seen any new blood refreshing Logitech's line of universal remotes, but after indications of new devices on the way in an earnings call earlier this year tipster Andrew spotted this brand new Harmony Touch on store shelves. Arriving at Best Buy unheralded by any official announcement or specs so far, the box shots and list of features show the ability to control 15 different devices and (of course) that center mounted touchscreen. There's no mention of it on the Logitech site either, however one leaked blog post we spotted referred to this device and a Harmony Plus. As our friends at Tech of the Hub note, the Touch clearly draws a lot of its heritage from the Harmony One and 1100 touchscreen remotes although to have ditched the dedicated Activity button for "one touch" control. The touchscreen itself supports both taps and swipes as well as up to 50 customizable channel icons, and the box lists both online setup and on-remote customization as features. According to Andrew it's rocking a price tag of $249 -- $50 above the current price of the Harmony One but $100 shy of the RF-equipped Harmony 900 -- hopefully we'll find out soon if what Logitech has added this time around makes it worth the wait.

Five Big Changes In The iOS 6 App Store (And What Developers Should Do) Posted: 29 Sep 2012 04:16 PM PDT Five Big Changes In The iOS 6 App Store (And What Developers Should Do) ![]() Five Big Changes In The iOS 6 App Store (And What Developers Should Do) Is the new iOS App Store a step forward or step back for mobile app developers, users, and the app economy overall? Some developers are complaining that since the introduction of the Chomp-inspired App Store redesign in iOS 6, sales have noticeably dropped. Others say the changes are good for indie developers. Whichever side of the coin you're on, there are a number of reasons why developers are feeling the effects. In the new iOS App Store, the user interface now encourages a slower search method (flipping through cards, not scrolling through vertical lists), less attention is given to new releases and category-based search as "Genius" recommendations are given a higher billing, App Store SEO (ASO) is basically a black box that no one seems to understand, and more. |
