Nokia to build a 5G test network

Nokia bought out Siemens’ share of the company and what was once known as Nokia Siemens Networks, is now Nokia Networks.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia Networks builds switchgear that mobile carriers use to manage and grow their networks. Competitors are other well-known names like Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Huawei. All these companies will play a role in determining the standard that will become the fifth major generation in wireless communication, called affectionately, 5G.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia is going to build a test network in Oulu, Finland early next year. As the data transfer test network develops, Nokia has also stated that it will share the APIs with invested partners and even competitors. The goal is to shape a new collaborative model. This is a good thing, as it will probably mean there will be fewer growing pains among any competing standards that may emerge.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">There is no firm specification for what 5G will be. Most ideas appear unified to being able to provide 1,000 times the capacity of today’s LTE networks, and data throughput somewhere between 10 and 100 times the common data rate today. Energy consumption will definitely be part of the standard, with a goal to reduce it by as much as 90%. Expectations are also being made that latency will be reduced by about five times, end-to-end. Those are some impressive numbers to look forward to. It should mean data speeds in excess of 500Mbps, and latency in the sub-20-millisecond range.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia has already been </span>in discussions with NTT DoCoMo<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> about the next generation of wireless. Samsung will be joining Nokia as </span>a part of DoCoMo’s 5G trials<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> in Japan. Most believe we will see the first commercial deployments of 5G will be in place by the year 2020.</span></span><br />

Robot Printer Brings Papers To Your Desk

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The ability to print documents from a computer (or phone, tablet, whatever) is great in today’s world. But you know what, unless you have a printer right there on top of your desk, chances are you’re still going to have to get up out of your office chair to go and get your printed items. Now if you have an errand-boy or errand-girl to get your documents, that’s not a problem, but for most of us out there who aren’t so lucky, we still have to get up and walk to the printer several times a day. And while it’s great for exercise, it really cuts into the productivity after a while, and if multiple people are printing things at the same time, quite the traffic jam can happen around the printer. But what if the printer could just bring things to you after you hit the “print” button? That would solve the traffic jams, the productivity interruptions, and maybe most of all, it would just be neat to see. Well, thanks to a collaboration between Fuji and Xerox, <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28977840" style="color: #0092dd;" target="_blank">there is now a robot printer out there who will do just that</a>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fuji Xerox created this mobile printer as a way to help keep private documents private. As we all know, when multiple people share a printer, it’s not all that hard to see what everyone else is printing, and in a legal or medical facility, things can get messy in a hurry. Have a look at Mr. Robot Printer below.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The printer even has imbedded tech which helps it to avoid running into other people and/or things in the room. And, it won’t just give the documents to anyone – whoever printed must scan a special card in order to retrieve the documents. While this all sounds great to me, some don’t think the printer’s very cost effective when it comes to other printing methods.</span></div>

Report: Update after launch could give BlackBerry Passport 4K video capture

But don't expect to see the feature on the phone when the eagerly awaited model is unveiled later next month. Instead, if the company is happy with the results of the test, it will add the 4K video capture to the phone with the BlackBerry 10.3.1 update.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Like the rest of the phone, the Passport's rear camera offers some delectable specs. We are talking about a 13MP snapper with Auto Focus, Optical Image Stabilization, and an f/2.0 aperture which should allow for quality pictures in low-light situations. The camera will feature 1080p video at 60fps. The snapper has 5X digital zoom, continuous and touch to focus, and image stabilization.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">No BlackBerry has ever hit the market so well spec'd. The 4.5 inch 1440 x 1440 screen, along with the unique QWERTY keyboard, gives the BlackBerry Passport a design that you either love a whole lot, or hate. BlackBerry users in the past might have been happy with their phone for work, but many would have a second phone (an Apple iPhone or Android model) for play. We get the sense that BlackBerry CEO John Chen, believes that those purchasing the Passport won't require a second phone.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">You can checkout a 1080p clip captured by the BlackBerry Passport, by clicking on the video below.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="383" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6fcTA4pgs8A" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="680"></iframe></span><br />

Schiller is peddling a bike designed for pedaling on the water

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The Schiller X1 in action " height="358" src="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/schillerx1.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;">Last year, US entrepreneur Judah Schiller </span>crossed San Francisco Bay on a bike<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"> – and no, he didn’t ride that bike across the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead, he mounted it on a Shuttle Bike kit, which adds pontoons and a propeller to a user-supplied bicycle. Since then, Judah has been working on designing an all-in-one "waterbike" of his own. The result, the Schiller X1, was officially unveiled this month.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Unlike the <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/go/2505/" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Shuttle Bike kit</a> (which is designed to be carried in a backpack while the rider is cycling on land), the X1 has the "bike" built into it – it doesn’t require the addition of an existing bicycle. That said, it still does disassemble for transport in a car, or for storage in a closet.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Its frame is made from anodized aluminum, with much of its hardware being constructed from stainless steel. The saddle, handlebars, cranks and pedals are of the type found on regular bikes, while the inflatable dual-chamber pontoons, not surprisingly, are rubber. It also features LED lighting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Power is transferred from the pedals via a Gates Carbon belt drive to a continuously-variable NuVinci 360 transmission, and then used to turn <em>two</em>propellers mounted on flexible shafts. In an arrangement that's unique to the X1, steering is achieved not through a rudder, but by turning the two props to the left or right.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The whole thing weighs about 45 pounds (20 kg), and can reportedly travel at up to 10 mph (16 km/h) "depending on rider ability."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And no, the X1 is not cheap. The basic version will set you back US$6,495, while the limited-edition chrome-plated Founder’s Edition goes for $8,775. Shipping of the first units is expected to begin next month.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Google Now Detects Accents & Mimics

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Google Now is still a half measure for many Android users, the cards look like the most potent part of the program, but the voice recognition service still needs a bit of work. A new feature looks to make it easier for multiple language users to swap over on the fly.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The new system allows users to add more than one language, swapping from one another on the fly. This could allow localisation for user’s who move country often. Google Now can even detect accent change, as </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqYBuS0jM5o&channel=shadow321337" style="color: #0068cf; font-weight: inherit;" target="_blank">one video shows</a><span style="color: black;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Moving from English (UK) and English (US) is completely impractical for anyone, but does show the voice recognition service has a good understanding of accent, something Apple’s Siri has not been great at detecting, especially stronger English accents.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Accents are a hard thing for programmers to understand, voice recognition naturally works with one voice, but Google is looking to add multiple languages and accents. This means Google needs to take more real world accents and voices, to get the practical information needed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Google Now and voice recognition in general is still a questionable service, but there are some uses like taking notes, setting dates and asking for travel times. Google, Apple and other voice recognition services just need to fan out some of the clutter in their services.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The secondary language option is available now, but not to everyone. Google is restricting it to some countries and it may take a while for them to update it on all Android devices.</span></div>
