AT&T HTC Pure ST6356 with Windows Mobile 6.5 Quick Review

imageAT&T has started to receive HTC’s new touch device the Pure. I had a chance to spend a short amount of time with the HTC Pure this weekend, here are my observations.

The Pure may be the first Windows Mobile 6.5 device that brings mass appeal to what at best is a finicky touch screen market. To qualify that I will simply just say that I have been sorely disappointed with previous Windows Mobile touch screen devices on the market. To be fare I didn’t know I was disappointed until I picked up an iPhone last year; yes I was late to the iParty. Until then I was a blissfully happy schmuck with my HTC Fuze. What the iPhone had that made it superior was its capacitive touch screen; the HTC had a traditional resistive touch.

The HTC Pure still has a resistive touch screen however the response and feel are smooth and crisp. HTC includes a stylus for serious detailed on screen work, something an iPhone lacks being a capacitive touch screen. That said I think both devices have their own niche to fill even if they overlap in features.

While I only had a short time to preview the device I was impressed with the unit’s size. It was slim and comfortable in the hand sporting a very light weight frame. Haptic feedback was a nice surprise as well providing reassuring vibration feedback.  The 5 megapixel camera adds some interesting options as a convergence device especially when you consider the the WiFi and GPS. I guess I will wait and see if the new application Marketplace will feature apps to take advantage of these powerful features.

Here is a picture taken with the 5 megapixel camera, click photo to be able to select other sizes:

All is not honey and milk with the HTC Pure however. The screen has a certain glossy look that only a plastic screen can produce. A matte screen protector might be able to reduce this. The missteps do not end there however; HTC seems married to the idea that a dedicated headphone jack is the devils playground. They have yet again implemented that USB to headphone adapter nonsense found in the Fuze and other HTC wares. I shouldn’t complain too much, at least they use mini USB and not some proprietary plug like Samsung devices.

All gripes aside, I think HTC has a solid product in their new Pure Smartphone featuring WinMo 6.5. If you’re looking for something that is a bit more of a workhorse hang tight for the HTC Tilt 2. Only time will tell if the new Marketplace for Windows Mobile will bring these devices in to a cohesive application ecosystem of simplicity and usability.

Sony to Launch PSP Successor This Year

Sony will launch the much anticipated successor to its PlayStation Portable later this year, the company said Thursday.

The new device, provisionally dubbed the "next generation portable" or NGP, will have a 5-inch OLED display, WiFi and 3G networking, front and rear cameras and a GPS (global positioning system) sensor. (See Sony's teaser video for the NGP)

It will have a touchpad on the rear of the device and, answering the calls of many gamers, the device will also sport dual analog sticks. (See Sony's Kaz Hirai unveil the device in video.)

A price and launch date were not immediately announced.

Sony has been struggling to keep up in the portable gaming space in the last few years.

The original PSP, launched in 2004, was updated twice with the last refresh coming in 2007. A year later Sony launched the redesigned PSPgo, that did away with a drive for physical discs and put much more reliance on the network, but the device sold poorly.

In the meantime, Nintendo launched new iterations of its DSi handheld and cell phone performance has increased to the point where they are competing for the attention of casual gamers.

In announcing the new PSP so far ahead of its launch, Sony will be hoping to build hype for the product during the year. Additional details on the new handheld and software will likely be trickled out as the year progresses with pushes around the big gaming expos of the year in the U.S. and Europe.

Coming in late January, the announcement also lets would-be Nintendo 3DS owners know that a competitor will be coming from Sony.

Nintendo's new handheld console launches in Japan in a month from now and in Europe and the U.S. in March. Modeled on the current DS, the new model features a screen that provides the illusion of 3D but doesn't require glasses.

DC/DC controller targets industrial applications

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 21, 2011The LT3748 from Linear Technology is a high-input-voltage isolated flyback DC/DC controller that is suitable for a range of industrial, medical, telecom, datacom and automotive applications.

The LT3748 is said to simplify the design of an isolated DC/DC converter.

Linear Technology has announced the LT3748, a high input voltage isolated flyback DC/DC controller that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter

Linear Technology has announced the LT3748, a high input voltage isolated flyback DC/DC controller that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter

No opto-isolator, third winding or signal transformer is required for feedback since the output voltage is sensed from the primary side flyback signal.

The LT3748 operates over a 5V to 100V input voltage range and drives an external N-channel power Mosfet.

It operates in boundary mode, which is a variable frequency current mode control switching scheme, resulting in +/-5 per cent typical regulation over the full line, load and temperature range.

Boundary mode also permits the use of a smaller transformer compared with equivalent continuous conduction mode designs.

The output voltage is easily set by two external resistors and the transformer turns ratio.

Several off-the-shelf transformers identified in the data sheet can be used for numerous applications.

The high level of integration and the use of boundary mode operation results in a simple, clean application solution to the traditionally tough problem of isolated power delivery, according to Linear Technology.

Additional features include an onboard low dropout regulator for IC power, programmable soft start, under-voltage lockout, adjustable current limit and output voltage temperature compensation.

The LT3748 is available in a small MSOP-16 package with four pins removed for additional high-voltage pin spacing.

This device is available in extended and industrial operating junction temperature range at -40C to 125C.

How 3D Works

Since our eyes are spaced apart, each eye sees things at slightly different angles. Our brains then combine the two angles, giving us true depth perception. To create that same sense of distance and realism on a TV screen, 3D technology displays high speed synchronized left- and right-eye images to deliver the most immersive 3D experience imaginable. And since each frame you see is shown at Full HD resolution, the 3D action comes alive with razor-sharp detail.

Slide on the 3D Active Glasses and watch as images leap right into your living room. Sporting high-speed synching with 3D images and an ultra-high contrast ratio, these glasses greatly reduce unwanted "ghosting" effects known as crosstalk. Adjustable and comfortable, they are designed with side panels to block out excess light that creates annoying glare on other glasses.

How RIM Could Make Android Apps Run on the PlayBook

Click to zoom.Decisions, decisions -- should you plan to buy a BlackBerry PlayBook or one of the new Android-based tablets unveiled at CES? That choice could soon get a whole lot easier, because if the rumors are true, the PlayBook may be able to run Android apps.

Research in Motion (RIM) declined to comment on the scuttlebutt, but the idea itself is sound. RIM needs some kind of Java environment running on the PlayBook if it wants developers to be able to port their existing BlackBerry OS 6 applications to the PlayBook's new, QNX-based OS. (RIM did confirm to InfoWorld's Paul Krill that it has not yet chosen the JVM it would use to in its Java environment for the PlayBook.) What form that environment will take is still up for grabs, but one option the company is reportedly considering is Android's Dalvik virtual machine.

Dalvik has advantages over the Java ME virtual machine that RIM uses now. Although developers write apps for Dalvik in the Java language, apps compiled for Dalvik are smaller than ones compiled for Java ME, and the Dalvik VM itself has been optimized to run at maximum efficiency on mobile devices.

Perhaps equally important, Dalvik is not the JVM. It's a unique virtual machine implementation that Google claims does not infringe on any of Oracle's Java patents (although, naturally, Oracle says different). It's also open source software, released under the commercially permissive Apache license. If RIM is looking for a way out of Oracle's licensing scheme for Java ME, Dalvik could well be it.

Still, questions remain. Dalvik's biggest drawback is that it doesn't execute Java bytecode directly. Java class files need to be recompiled before they run on Dalvik, which means none of the existing BlackBerry apps would run as is. That might be OK, though, because RIM has already said developers will need to "repackage" their BlackBerry code before it will run on the PlayBook.

Click to zoomEven if RIM does go with Dalvik, support for Android apps would be another matter. To achieve that, RIM would have to build a complete Android compatibility layer on top of the PlayBook OS, to run side by side with its BlackBerry compatibility layer. How would memory management work in that scenario? What about cut-and-paste? The engineering hurdles would be steep.

Although full Android compatibility would be a challenge, it could be worth it. App fever rages unabated over in iPhone-land, and the Android Market is picking up steam. But RIM hasn't had much success drumming up enthusiasm among developers. If the PlayBook could run Android apps, it would give RIM an instant ecosystem of third-party software to entice new users.

But how would PlayBook users get their Android apps? There's an obvious problem if RIM lets users download apps from the Android Market. In that scenario, Google, and not RIM, gets a percentage of every sale.

A better strategy would be for RIM to provide some degree of Android compatibility on the PlayBook, but not go all the way. If RIM could create an SDK that made it easy for BlackBerry and Android developers to quickly and easily repackage their existing code to run on the new tablet, it could be enough to kick-start the PlayBook development community and still keep the profits in RIM's pocket.
