Samsung develops world’s first 4GB RAM for phones

With 64-bit computing touted as the next step for mobile chipsets, Samsung has readied the world’s first 4GB RAM for mobiles.

NEW DELHI: With 64-bit computing touted as the next step for chipset evolution in smartphones and tablets, Samsung has readied the world's first 4GB RAM meant for mobile devices. Currently, the highest RAM configuration for handheld devices is 3GB, that too only in Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 phablet and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) tablet.

On the official Samsung Tomorrow blog, the company said that it has developed the developed the industry's first 8Gb (or 1GB) low power double data rate 4 (LPDDR4), mobile DRAM.

"The 8Gb LPDDR4 is fabricated on 20nm class process technology, and offers 1GB on a single die, which is the largest density available for DRAM components today. With four of the 8Gb chips, a single 4GB LPDDR4 package can provide the highest level of performance available today," the post said.

The new DDR4 mobile RAM will offer 50% higher performance than today's DDR3 memory chips, and still consume 40% less battery. Other benefits of this new memory chip include faster and more responsive applications, more advanced features and higher resolution displays.

According to Samsung, the new 8Gb LPDDR4 uses a Low Voltage Swing Terminated Logic (LVSTL) I/O interface. Based on this new interface, the LPDDR4 chip will enable a data transfer rate per pin of 3,200Mbps, which is twice that of the 20nm-class LPDDR3 DRAM now in mass production

"This next-generation LPDDR4 DRAM will contribute significantly to faster growth of the global mobile DRAM market, which will soon comprise the largest share of the entire DRAM market," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president, memory sales & marketing, Samsung Electronics.

Samsung is expected to unveil its first smartphone with 64-bit processor this year, most likely the Galaxy S5. The desktop-class 64-bit CPU architecture requires at least 4GB RAM to process resource-consuming tasks. However, there are no apps in Android, Windows Phone or Apple's iOS ecosystems that require such computing power.

Apple has already introduced the world's first mobile processor with 64-bit architecture. However, it does not have much real-world usage since all iOS apps are developed for 32-bit chips and iPhones and iPads do not offer less than 4GB RAM (though Apple does not reveal the amount of RAM its gadgets offer, external sources have revealed that iPhone 5S has 1GB RAM after a teardown)

HCL Lucknow campus to create 25,000 jobs

HCL said it will set up a 100-acre IT city in Lucknow, a move that will help create job opportunities.

NEW DELHI: Technology group HCL said it will set up a 100-acre IT city in Lucknow, a move that will help create job opportunities for about 25,000 people in Uttar Pradesh.

Uttar Pradesh government has awarded the project to Vamasundari Investments, the investment arm of HCL, the group said in a statement.

No financial details were available. About 60 acres of the proposed IT city will be allotted to IT and ITeS, including a hi-tech skill development center with a capacity to train more than 5000 people, it added.

The remaining 40 acres is intended for support infrastructure and initiates of social impact, it said.

"IT City shall play a crucial role in the overall economic development and boost up industrial growth of the state. Apart from this, it will directly create approximately 25,000 job opportunities for the youth of the state," UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav said.

Ancillary support services required for setting up IT industry such as hardware manufacturing, telecommunication equipment and several others shall also create huge career opportunities, it added.

Yadav said the move will also stop the state's talent from migrating to other states in search of better career opportunities.

"Four decades ago, we dreamt of positively impacting the world with microprocessors and the journey then began in partnership with UP government...The development of IT City will further the momentum for innovation-led growth and social development in the state," HCL Founder and Chairman Shiv Nadar Foundation Shiv Nadar said.

Headquartered in Noida, the $6.4 billion HCL group offers indirect employment to one lakh people in UP. Of its total direct workforce of about 90,000 employees, about 30,000 work out of the state.

HCL also has a 46-acre SEZ campus in Noida. In its full capacity, the campus will seat 25,000 employees and generate export revenue to the tune of $one billion.

The group also runs the Shiv Nadar Foundation, which operates Shiv Nadar University in Dadri, VidyaGyan Leadership Academies in Blandisher and Sitapur and Shiv Nadar School in Noida

5 things tech made better in 2013

Camera phones have gotten good enough to stand in for those stand-alone cameras in many situations.

By Anick Jesdanun, deputy technology editor, AP

NEW YORK: As I look back at the more than 100 tech products we reviewed in 2013, a handful of gadgets and services deserve a second look.

It's become clear that one brand rarely stands out any more in whatever product category you look at. Competition is more intense than ever, which means consumers have more choices than ever. That's why coming up with a "best of" list for 2013 proved difficult.

So instead of a comprehensive list, I'm highlighting five big trends. These are also areas where further innovations are likely in 2014, so stay tuned.

Better camera phones
This was the first year I didn't mind leaving my point-and-shoot and full-bodied, SLR cameras at home. Camera phones have gotten good enough to stand in for those stand-alone cameras in many situations.

Of the ones I tried, Apple's iPhone 5S proved to be the best as an all-around camera. It's good at getting the auto-focus right, even for moving objects. A larger sensor and an improved flash compared with previous models mean better shots in low light.

An honorable mention goes to Nokia's Lumia 1020. It's consistently good at night and indoor shots. It combines the small amount of light from multiple pixels into one, resulting in better lighting. It also has manual controls typically absent from camera phones.

Given how frequently people use their phones to take photos, expect even more improvements in the coming year.

Personalized technical support
It used to be when you couldn't figure out how a product worked, you called your tech-savvy children. With Mayday on Amazon's new Kindle Fire HDX tablets, you no longer need to do that. Instead, just tap the Mayday button, and you'll be connected to a live customer service representative within seconds, even at 4 a.m. on a weekend.

Amazon's representatives can help you install apps, connect to Facebook or tackle anything else confounding you. You see them on the screen, but they can only hear you. They have a virtual orange marker to point you to buttons and menus on the screen. They also can take over your machine remotely and do it for you.

As gadgets do more, they also get more complicated to use. As someone who's constantly asked by friends and family for tech assistance, the Mayday feature is something I would welcome in other products.

Shackle-free phone plans
The traditional way of buying phones: Pay $100 or $200 for a phone, and stay locked to your wireless carrier for two more years.

The new way: Buy or bring your own phone. Leave any time.

T-Mobile introduced that concept in March when it split the monthly phone bill into two parts -- one for the device, and the other for the voice, text and data services. If you already have a device or have finished paying for it, your overall bill goes down. If you need a phone, you pay its full retail price, spread out into monthly installments. You're no longer getting a subsidy for signing a contract, but you're also not paying for it through a higher phone bill.

A few months later, T-Mobile introduced a program that lets you upgrade your phone up to twice a year, rather than every other year. The other national carriers followed with their own contract-free, frequent-upgrade plans. AT&T also lowered its service fees for voice, text and data for those who pay for phones separately. Sprint reduced those fees as well, but only temporarily.

Some people will still find it more cost-effective to buy phones the traditional way, but these contract-free options give consumers more freedom to leave their carrier or change phones frequently.

Meanwhile, some phone makers have come out with cheaper phones that do almost as much as the $600-plus ones. Motorola's Moto G phone is particularly notable, at just $179 _ ideal when you pay for your own phone.

Laptops with long-lasting batteries
Most laptop owners no doubt have found themselves out of juice at the most inopportune times, whether in the middle of an important business meeting or the start of a super-long flight to Asia or Australia.

A new generation of processing chips from Intel makes that far less likely to happen. These chips, known as Haswell, are more efficient at using power. It's now possible to go a full waking day on a single charge, with some reasonable breaks for meals and exercise.

The 13-inch (33-centimeter) MacBook Air, for instance, promises up to 12 hours of battery life. I was able to stretch that to more than 14 hours by turning off Wi-Fi, though nine to 11 hours was more common with general Web surfing. On the Windows 8 machines I tested, I was able to get seven to nine hours consistently.

Expect to pay at least $1,000 for a Haswell laptop, though prices may start coming down in the new year.

Internet television
A few friends and I dropped cable TV service this year. I saved more than $100 a month and used some of that to buy a new TV. You might be wondering: Huh?

Several options are now available for watching television over the Internet. Watching on a computer or a tablet seems unsatisfactory.

With a streaming device such as Roku, Apple TV or Chromecast or a game console such as the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One, you can project Internet video to the big screen. You'll need to subscribe to a handful of services such as Netflix or Hulu Plus.

The downside is you often need to wait at least a day for shows to become available online. That means avoiding spoilers on social networks. It's also a poor option for live sports. Major League Baseball has a great online service, but typically blocks hometown teams.

But it's money saved to buy the hot gadgets of 2014 -- or tickets to a ballgame, plus beer and hot dogs

Microsoft Word gets an Assamese clone

A group of volunteers from different parts of Assam have made an innovation of sorts by designing an Assamese word processor.

ITANAGAR: A group of volunteers from different parts of Assam have made an innovation of sorts by designing an Assamese word processor similar to the Microsoft Wordwith a spell checker and word suggestions to boot.

Named Jahnabi, the word processor has came as a boon for those who need help in writing the language and can be easily used by those with a rudimentary knowledge of Assamese.

"The website www.jahnabi.org has received more than 60,000 hits and the free-of-cost software downloaded by more than 1,000 people since it was launched online on November 25 last," says Mridul Kumar Sharmah, one of the members of the team.

The Unicode compliant software with a size of 7 mega bytes has at present nearly 2.5 lakh Assamese words and 108 readymade Assamese phrases in its dictionary and counting.

"The programming of the processor is based on dotnet platform and C# language containing around 15,000 lines of code," Utpal Phukon, the only programmer in the Jahnabi team, said.

It took almost 25 days to complete the beta version of the software and the final software was designed in four months, he said.

The software contains automatic suggestions for words. Just type the alphabet K and all the words beginning with Ka would appear like Kalam and Kamal. There are also 600 Assamese idioms. The user has the option to create a shortcut for frequently used idioms. There is also a facility to add words to the user?s dictionary.

"If one types the alphabets K and M, words like Kamal and Kamtapur would be listed. All one has to do is click on the word which is required from the list. This makes it easy for people who do not have an in-depth knowledge of the language," Sharmah said

What to expect from tech in 2014

What to expect from tech in 2014

In the coming year, thanks to Edward Snowden's revelations, people will be more conscious about privacy.

This time last year, we spoke about how 2013 will see increased personalization of IT and mobile devices like smartphones. That did happen, but it also led to privacy walls being breached. In the coming year, thanks to Edward Snowden's revelations, people will be more conscious about privacy, and will take care to protect information stored on their devices and ensure their online behavior remains confidential.

Michael Joseph, manager, systems engineering, Saarc, Fortinet, says home automation devices that control electrical consumption, temperature of fridges, etc could become new targets.

Security fears notwithstanding, we will be more dependent on technology. Devices like Google Glass and smart watches will get better. Person to person, person to machine, and machine to machine interactions will increase.
Sunil Lalvani, MD, BlackBerry, India, feels technologies like NFC and M2M will move to the next level driven by smartphones. S Rajendran, CMO, Acer India, says people will use at least three connected devices for their diverse needs like editing, watching videos or simply connecting with friends.

Phillip Beniac, regional VP, Qlik-Tech, Asia Pacific and Japan, sees the emergence of touch as a shift from consumerization to humanization of IT. "Touch technologies encourage interactivity in surprising ways - people simply enjoy working with touch and appear to be more willing to explore with a tactile interface than with a mouse-driven environment."

Television revolution
High definition and ultra-high definition technologies will be more affordable, presenting us withexciting opportunities for new video experiences not seen before. According to Cisco, video technology in ultra-high definition will become imperative for smartphones , augmented reality glasses, tablets and other devices equipped with camera.

Manoj Padmanabhan, business head, new media, Zee Entertainment, says 2014 will see a sharp upswing in the number of users consuming video and TV on-the-go . "With smartphones offering bigger screens and better audio /video outputs, live TV has already caught the attention of the youth in a big way. Further, players like Ditto TV are available across all OS and devices giving the youth multiple access points." He says there is a possibility of content providers tailoring content only for mobile TV in the near future.

Big data and analytics
With increasing ease of collecting data, analytics will boom. According to Anand Ramakrishnan, business head, HCL Services, "Real-time access to multi-structured data improves decision making and enables businesses to be more agile to market conditions. They will have to leverage social networking , cloud services, analytics and mobility."
Gaurav Vohra, founder of business analytics school Jigsaw Academy, feels more businesses will leverage social media to connect to customers. "Techniques like text analytics and sentiment analysis will gain credence," he says.

Enterprise app stores
Due to increasing penetration of mobile devices at the workplace, users expect enterprises to provide the capability, flexibility and power they get in the consumer world. "This is likely to lead to organizations setting up app stores of their own, referred to as enterprise app store where an employee can go and get access to all the applications required to perform a business task/activity," says Sanjay Deshmukh, area VP, India subcontinent , Citrix.

I'm not a man for records: Jacques Kallis

I'm not a man for records: Jacques Kallis

South Africa's Jacques Kallis is carried by teammates after he retired from Test cricket at end of the fifth and final day of second Test against India at Kingsmead in Durban. (AP Photo)

DURBAN: Was there a tear in his eye? We will never know, since Jacques Kallis had his sunglasses on. Was there a lump in his throat? It couldn't be heard, since he is too private a person. He doesn't give anything away, just as he never gave an inch on the field.

Now that the battles have been won and lost, it's time to look back. The game will miss Kallis but Kallis will miss the game too. "As I sat in that dressing-room today, I saw that nothing much has changed since that day when I made my debut 18 years back. Maybe I have changed a bit, lost and grown a bit of hair," Kallis said, as there was a roll of laughter in the press-conference room.

The lap of honour was done by then. Graeme Smith, sporting a T-shirt with Kallis' farewell picture, had spoken about the man and the dais was now open for the legend. Time and again, he kept going back to the moments that he would miss. "The wins and the losses, the joys and sorrows, the happy moments and the difficult ones. There are so many of them," Kallis said.

The greatest cricketer of the modern era knows he will wake up and miss the game, but he has understood there's more to life. There was an eight-month break from the game that gave him perspective. Now he wants to look ahead. "Yes, maybe a swing at the golf course," he said, smiling.

But his cricket career is not done. And even in this nostalgia surge, he suddenly gets serious when someone asks him about his ODI career. "Now that my Test career is over, I will see where I stand in terms of one-day cricket. I will work on a few aspects of my ODI game," Kallis said. He gave the impression that he was serious about his World Cup aspirations.

Kallis has lost a lot in life. His mother passed away when he was a kid. His father, who was there at his debut game, too is no more. Girlfriends have come and gone and Kallis was frank enough to thank three of them during the press conference. But for now what he treasures most is his sister's presence at Kingsmead on Monday. "We used to play together as kids. Then as we grew older, life started drifting us apart, now it's time to get back. My father was there on my debut, it was my sis today."

Kallis could easily have bagged a farewell series for himself. The Australia series at home is just round the corner and entire South Africa would have been happy to give him a grand reception. At least, he could have chosen to play his farewell Test at home in Cape Town. "Why didn't you do it?" somebody asked, and Kallis smiled again. "What to do? That's how I am. Probably that's my nature. I just felt my time was up in Test cricket and I told Graeme about it. It wasn't an easy decision, but it had to be taken, right away."

There were a few records to be broken as well. 51 Test centuries, 200 Tests — everything could so easily have been in his grasp, but Kallis let it go. "Not a man for records, Sachin is great. I am happy to have played with him," Kallis said, leaving the stage

TCL, the Chinese handset maker that owns the Alcatel brand, has unveiled the Idol X+ in China. The new Alcatel Idol X+ has been priced at roughly $330 without contract, which translates to around Rs. 20,500. Unfortunately, Alcatel did not reveal any details about availability of the Idol X+ outside China

Engadget China reported the launch first, noting that TCL has bundled the Idol X+ with a Boom Band, which is a Bluetooth-enabled wristband that is available in various colours. The site claims that the Boom Band can work as a proximity alarm, if in case a user forgets the phone behind. The Boom Band is compatible with the Idol X+ via a companion app, which also tracks user's fitness.

iOS users outspent shoppers on Android 5 to 1 this Christmas Day: IBM

iOS device users were more prolific online shoppers in the US on Christmas Day, compared to their Android device counterparts, reveals a report by IBM.

IBM has shared the online shopping trends for December 25, Christmas Day in the US via its IBM digital analytics benchmark, revealing some interesting statistics related to Apple and Androidplatforms, apart from mobile and tablet shopping as a whole. According to IBM, raw data was analysed from approximately 800 retail sites across the US.

As per IBM, out of the total online sales in the US in the Christmas period, iOS accounted for five times the traffic of Android, driving 23 percent of total online sales traffic when compared to Android's 4.6 percent. The report also reveals that on average, iOS users spent $93.94 per purchase order, while Android users spent $48.10 per order, almost half.

Further, IBM also informs that the mobile traffic accounted for 48 percent of all online traffic on Christmas Eve, which was up 28.3 percent compared to the same period in 2012. Of the total online traffic, iOS accounted 32.6 percent compared to Android's 14.8 percent. Mobile sales were also strong in the period, approaching 29 percent of all online sales, up 40 percent from the same period in 2012.

In addition, the report also informs that smartphones (28.5 percent) drove more traffic than tablets (18.1 percent), which made it the browsing device of choice. However, in terms making the sale, the tablets contributed with 19.4 percent of all online sales and an average of $95.61 per order, compared to 9.3 percent on smartphones which averaged $85.11 per order.

We have already heard reports that claimed the smartphones powered by Google's Android OS have increased their global market share outnumbering other platforms. The International Data Corporation (IDC) reported earlier that Android's share of the smartphone market grew to 79.3 percent in the second quarter while that of iPhone slipped to 13.2 percent from 16.6 percent in the same three-month period (second quarter) last year.

Apple finally kicked off the festive season, with its 12 Days of Gifts promotion, via the app by the same name on Thursday. The promotion will be valid in all regions where the iTunes app store lists the app.

Apple would be giving away various digital content freebies, including apps, e-books, movies, music, and more. However, content would vary from region to region, depending on the availability of the product or service - in Apple's words, "Not all content is available in all countries."

Apple seeks ban on Samsung phones, tablets in the US

Apple seeks ban on Samsung phones, tablets in the US

Apple has asked a federal judge to bar US sales of Samsung smartphones and tablet computers in the blockbuster patent case involving the two electronics giants.

In a court filing in California, Apple said the smartphones and tablets were found to have violated patents in a jury trial held last year.

Apple renewed its bid for a permanent injunction on sales of a number of Samsung products after an appeals court decision last month cleared the way for a new hearing on the matter.

(Also see: 5 things to know about Apple's $290 million victory over Samsung)

In the latest filing dated Thursday, Apple's attorneys wrote that the court "previously concluded that Samsung's sale of infringing products has irreparably harmed Apple."

(Also see: Court breathes new life into Apple's attempt to get Samsung products banned in US)

The document added that the appeals court decision "makes clear that the record evidence collectively demonstrates a sufficient 'causal nexus' between Samsung's infringement and the irreparable harm to Apple."

Apple added that "money damages are not an adequate remedy for Samsung's infringement of these patents."

The US firm is seeking a ban on Samsung's smartphone models Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Fascinate, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, Gem, Indulge, Infuse, Mesmerize, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, Vibrant,Transform and three versions of the Galaxy S II.

Bans are also being sought on the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1 tablets.

The request does not affect the newest Samsung devices, which were not at issue in the trial because of the fast product cycles in the industry.

The South Korean firm, the world's biggest maker of smartphones, has been ordered to pay Apple more than $900 million after a retrial on some of the issues in the case.

But the case, one of several being played out in courts and administrative agencies around the world, has not dented sales of Samsung, which has vaulted ahead of Apple in many markets around the world.
