Asus FonePad launch 2013

The ASUS FonePad has been spotted at SenHeng’s IT catalog with the retail price tag of RM849.00. Officially announced at MWC 2013, it didn’t take too long for the Taiwanese maker to release it here in Malaysia
To recap on the device, the ASUS FonePad has similar Nexus 7 like dimensions with an aluminium body instead of the usual textured plastic. Like its name suggests, the FonePad allows you to make phone calls and it comes with the earpiece speaker at the top. The front 7″ IPS display pushes a similar 1280×800 pixel resolution that gives a pixel density of 216ppi.

Instead of the usual Quad-Core processor, the FonePad is powered by Intel’s Atom 1.2GHz processor mated with 1GB of RAM and it comes with 8GB of storage. Unlike the Nexus 7, the FonePad comes with expandable microSD memory slot and has a 3MP camera at the back with a front facing 1.2MP camera. Operating system wise, it runs on a recent Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. For RM849, this is a worthy alternative to the iPad mini and even the Nexus 7.

HTC Nexus 1

The latest Nexus One (launch Jan 2010) is nothing if not handsome as compare to Apple Iphone. From its ultra-thin body to sleek, curved edges, the phone is absolutely lustworthy. While it's unmistakably HTC, there are plenty of design cues that feel authentically Google as well -- and it's that balance which makes the phone such an intriguing piece of hardware. The display is an AMOLED, 480 x 800 capacitive touchscreen, and the handset also contains a light sensor, proximity sensor, and accelerometer, along with an HSPA-capable GSM radio (AWS and euro 2100MHz bands only for 3G -- sorry AT&T users), WiFi, the prerequisite AGPS chip, and a microSD slot (which comes loaded with a 4GB card, but is expandable to 32GB), 5M Pixel camera. The unlocked version of Nexus-One retails for US$530.00

Bartronics wins deal with Avitar

Bartronics India Limited (Bartronics), one of India's largest bar code and RFID technology companies today announced that its subsidiary, Bartronics Asia, has been selected for a RFID project from Avitar Group, in which Bartronics Asia will aid and manage the Avitar initiative to automate the distribution process using RFID technology.

Avitar, a Singapore-based group with operations around the world, is focused at its core in the wholesale and distribution of mobile phones, including software products, with a focus to expand into related businesses in the international arena.

Bartronics will develop an application specifically aimed at mobile phone distribution warehousing, where each mobile phone box is tagged with an RFID label and each label in turn associated to an International Mobile Equipment Identity (Unique IMEI) number of each phone via a handheld RFID reader. The Bartronics application involves automatic scanning and reading of mobile phone boxes stacked up on a trolley for outbound dispatch.

The RFID application detects and reads mobile phone boxes en masse when a trolley is pushed through a Gantry RFID reader at exit doorway to ensure physical outbound quantity matches actual quantities dispatched.

NFC Phone by Nokia

Nokia has been experimenting NFC or Near Field Communications, when the phone detects the compatible rfid tags (reader is at base of phone, time takes around 2~3 seconds to read), the phone will prompt - either you can call, go url or website or sms the numerb. As phones increasingly become replacements for ‘contactless cards’, it seems likely that this interaction will become more habitual and natural.

Cell phone Boarding Pass

Pretty soon you'll be able to board Continental Airlines flights with a boarding pass stored on your phone. As part of a new pilot program, Continental will be testing the using of electronic passes that could signal the end of the paper passes we know and love. The three month trial will be available for passengers flying out of Houston for now. A unique barcode is sent to a user's phone by the system. It is encrypted and tied directly to the user's handset, so the chances for fraud are low. When you get to the gate all you have to do is open up the message on your screen, the gate attendant will scan it using the Psion Teklogix Workabout Pro Gen2 handheld with barcode reader, and you can proceed to your uncomfortable seat. Though this makes perfect sense, and I could see it being rolled out quickly across a number of airlines. Make sure you don't forget to bring your cell phone...

What do you want to incorporate in your phone?

Mobile phone has evolved tremendously. Now you have camera phones, music phones, gaming phones, smartphones and multimedia phones. And there are phones of varying designs, colours, shapes and sizes. What do you look for in a mobile phone?
DO you remember your first mobile phone? Mine was just a simple phone capable of making and receiving calls and messages during a time when you could only send a message to a person who is only on the same network. Since then, the mobile phone has evolved tremendously. And there are phones of varying designs, colours, shapes and sizes. So many choices! Having plenty of choices is a good thing. But what do you look for in a mobile phone? Do you want a nice-looking phone or a feature-packed phone?Some look at design while others look at features and their bank account balance, credit card or easy payment plan options. Some want a music player in their phone while others want a camera.Eventually, we all will come up with a phone that we’re willing to buy, but it’s hard to find that ultimate ideal phone, one that offers that perfect blend of form, functionality and pricing. It’s always one or the other. A phone with all the features may not be in that slim, cool and sleek feature; a phone that looks cool and sleek may not have all the features. Or if there is that perfect blend of form and function, the phone may not be within your price range!But this doesn’t mean that there are many people who aren’t satisfied with their mobile phone. Still, it’s important to know what you’re looking for in a mobile phone, how you’ll be using it, and what price you’re willing to pay for it. It may not be the perfect phone, but if it has most of the criteria that you’ve set, your purchase should be a satisfactory one.Personally, there are three basic criteria that I look for in a mobile phone – features, price and design. I have a list of things that I know I want to do on a mobile phone, so picking a phone based on this list makes it easier. I know that I want a phone that’s an extension of my computer but not a desktop replacement.Fortunately, it has come to that point in time when a mobile phone can become an extension of my online life. For example, e-mailing and chatting are available and Web browsing is possible, if not perfect. I would like a phone that’s easy to carry around.As for price, eventually I’d have save up enough money to be able to buy it. And that’s usually when a newer phone with better features and a higher price tag becomes available. Of course, that would then be the phone that I now want!
