<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>As they peck out text on the featureless glass surface of their phone
 or tablet, some people still mourn the passing of the physical 
keyboard. Now technology is heading to mass production that can offer 
the best of both worlds: a featureless surface for watching video and 
buttons that rise out of it when you need to type.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>That technology was developed by startup <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.tactustechnology.com/" target="0">Tactus Technology</a>,
 which uses tiny fluid-filled channels and elastic blisters to make 
buttons rise up from a device’s screen and then disappear without trace 
when they’re no longer needed (see “<a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.technologyreview.com/demo/508106/a-shape-shifting-smartphone-touch-screen/" target="0">Demo: A Shape-Shifting Smartphone Touch Screen</a>”).</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Electronics manufacturing giant <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.wistron.com/" target="0">Wistron</a>
 has now modified equipment at one of its factories in China to produce 
touch-screen panels with the shape-shifting technology inside. Wistron 
is one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers; it’s made 
devices for brands including BlackBerry, Apple, and Acer. The company 
also recently became an investor in Tactus.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>The first fruit of the
 tie-up will go on sale later this year in the form of a protective case
 with Tactus technology inside for Apple’s iPad Mini. The design 
includes a transparent screen protector that covers the front of the 
device. However, sliding a mechanical control on the side of the case 
raises up a transparent set of buttons or guides on the screen 
protector, over the touch keyboard, to make typing easier. Sliding the 
control back will cause those buttons to melt away, leaving a clear, 
smooth pane of glass.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>“Users will still type on the screens as 
they do today, but with better performance, confidence, and 
satisfaction,” says Tactus CEO Craig Ciesla.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Tactus won’t reveal 
the exact design of the case launching this year, or of a similar one 
slated to launch next year. Nor will it say which brands are behind 
them. But it did let <i>MIT Technology Review</i> try out an internal prototype case for the iPad Mini with the same basic design.</b></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sliding the control on the left pushed fluid into a set of guides 
that rose up between keys on the virtual keyboard. That they were ever 
there is discernable only by a close examination of the screen protector
 in the right light. But the panel feels noticeably less smooth to a 
finger swiping the surface.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The guides provide physical feedback 
when the fingers don’t directly hit a key, something that’s lacking on a
 typical touch screen. In a few minutes of testing, it seemed to help my
 fingers learn how to hit their targets better. Tactus says it has been 
testing different-shaped guides but won’t say which the first products 
will use.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The relationship with Wistron could lead morphing 
buttons to appear in tablets and other devices. Tactus has demonstrated 
both a prototype seven-inch tablet with its technology fully integrated 
into its display and an off-the-shelf tablet modified to include the 
technology. When the buttons are built into a device in that way, their 
movements are driven by a small electric pump. On the demonstration 
prototypes, the buttons automatically pop up when the keyboard appears.</span></b><br />

partnership, where the Tactus solution will be brought to multiple 
markets, starting with mobile computing,” says Ciesla. He says the two 
companies have begun working on the design of products and prototypes 
for carriers, electronics brands, and retailers. One project is a 
notebook-style device that has a second, morphing screen where the 
keyboard would usually be.</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Android 4.5/5 release date</span></u></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>The current version of Android – 4.4 KitKat – was officially unveiled last September and debuted on October 31st with the <a href="http://www.t3.com/reviews/google-nexus-5-review">Google Nexus 5</a>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>So
 the big question now is, when will Google launch the next version of 
Android? If we had to predict when Google unveil the next version of 
Android, we’d put our money on Google I/O in June.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Google’s
 annual developers conference has been used to launch new version of 
Android in the past. This year’s event takes place in San Francisco 
between June 25th and 26th.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Going on previous trends, if 
Google does unveil the next version of Android at the event, it could be
 a month before it becomes available. Which leads us nicely on to the 
question of which phone will it debut on?</b></span><br />
<h3>
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Android 4.5/5 phones</span></u></h3>
<b>One
 of the big questions is which phone will debut the next version of 
Android. Currently, the only rumours going around about Nexus hardware 
is about a the <a href="http://www.t3.com/news/google-nexus-8-release-date-rumours-features-and-news">Google Nexus 8</a> and <a href="http://www.t3.com/Google-Nexus-10">Nexus 10</a>. We doubt Google would debut the next version of Android only on a tablet.</b><br />
<b>That
 brings us to the big question of which model will be updated. Will it 
be the Nexus 5? We simply don’t know. What we do know is that is likely 
to be made by HTC, so expect a smartphone based on the <a href="http://www.t3.com/reviews/htc-one-m8-review">HTC One (M8)</a>.</b><br />
<b>As
 for when it will appear on other smartphones, Google has made a point 
of telling smartphone makers to speed up deployment to their existing 
handsets.</b><br />
<b>Android 4.4 KitKat has seen one of the slowest 
adoptions of a new version of Android – despite to pushes from companies
 like HTC to get it out within 90 days of its release. Even Android 
JellyBean was ahead of the curve than were KitKat is today.</b><br />
<b>The <a href="http://chitika.com/insights/2014/android-by-device-type">latest figures from Chitika</a> suggest that only 10 per cent of Android smartphones are running Android 4.4 KitKat.</b><br />
<b>In
 other words, you’ll probably have to buy a new phone to get your hands 
on it anytime soon, despite Google’s protestations to smartphone makers.</b><br />
<h3>
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Android 4.5/5 features</span></u></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Reports
 have been flying around for a while now that one of the biggest 
additions to the next version of Android will be Google Babble.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Android
 Geeks reported last year that the service would debut on Android 5.0. 
When Android 4.4 KitKat was announced, there was no sign of Babble 
suggesting that Google may have held it back.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Babble is 
the codename for Google’s cross-platform service that will bring 
together all of its chat services, including Talk, Hangout, Voice, 
Messenger, Chat for Google Drive and Chat on Google+.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Last
 year also saw a couple of image leaks that suggested that Babble was in
 testing. However, 12 months later, there has been no sign of the 
service. So could we see it arrive with the next version of Android?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>We’d
 say so. Cross platform messaging is big business at the moment. 
Facebook’s £11 billion acquisition shows how important it is for 
advertising giants and Google is the biggest of the bunch.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Other
 features are likely to include more fitness apps and ways for 
developers to tie in devices. Chances are the next version of Android 
will launch around the same time as <a href="http://www.t3.com/reviews/google-glass-review">Google Glass</a> becomes available to the public and <a href="http://www.t3.com/news/google-reveals-android-wear-os-for-smartwatches">Android Wear</a> devices hit the shelves.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>We’d say this one’s almost a certainty.</b></span><br />

It shows a clear overhaul of the look of Android – including new icon designs.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>According to the leak, the design is being referred to as “Moonshine” within Google itself.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>But is it genuine? We’ll have to wait to find out.</b></span><br />

<br />
<b>Earlier this year, a <a href="http://www.t3.com/samsung">Samsung</a> executive was quoted as saying "The new smart glass to be introduced by Samsung is a new concept of <a href="http://www.t3.com/wearable-technology">wearable device</a> that can lead to an exciting culture of communication.</b><br />
<b>“The smart glass will present our aim to lead the new market with proven capability.”</b><br />
<b>But does Samsung have what it takes to beat <a href="http://www.t3.com/Google-Glass">Google Glass</a>? Here’s what we know so far… </b><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Samsung Galaxy Glass Launch Date</u></h3>
<b>If rumours are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy Glass will
 be unveiled at IFA 2014. The massive tech fair runs from September 5th 
to 10th in Berlin.</b><br />
<b>According to a <a href="http://www.t3.com/news/samsung-to-launch-google-glass-rival">story ran</a> by the Korea Times, a source within Samsung said that the tech giant will show off its smart glass gadget at IFA.</b><br />
<b>However,
 unveiling a product isn’t the same as launching. Samsung has a habit of
 unveiling gadgets up to two months before they actually land.</b><br />
<b>That
 said, we can’t see it launching it in November; it’s likely it will 
want to capture as much of people’s Christmas shopping money as 
possible. As such, we’d guesstimate Samsung will likely launch it either
 late September or early October.</b><br />
<b>But an immediate launch? We doubt it</b><br />
<u><br /></u>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Samsung Galaxy Glass Looks</u></h3>
<b>In the middle of April, <a href="http://www.t3.com/news/samsung-galaxy-glass-glimpsed">details of a patent leaked</a>. Significantly, the patent included an image of a device now widely believed to be Samsung’s smart glass.</b><br />
<b>According
 to the patent, the display will be made from “a transparent synthetic 
resin material". In addition, it will offer “wearable augmented reality 
and real life experience of being able to listen to a variety of 
sources”.</b><br />
<b>It isn’t the first pair of smart glasses the 
company has filed a patent for. Last year, the company filed designed 
for a device that looked more like traditional eyewear.</b><br />
<b>That patent was filed in South Korea early last year, though it only came to light in October.</b><br />
<b>Dubbed
 “sports glasses”, they had a translucent or transparent frame, side 
buttons and a panel at the front that appeared to hold a camera and a 
heads up display.</b><br />
<b>Unlike the latest patent, the sports glasses were wired, suggesting that they weren’t a standalone device.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIenVmpZvvNV15BQW3tIXstqRdbKF51UctNWnUEL9dPNy6v03M2rL-jCxZfoWIZ0qXZrv_tV_-SRsD0uS6uGnV2KTb0F-1FkqzurQnTi7BNUMvTjVjHPxQBycT4-E8b-GTsStHDgxR_gEN/s1600/samsung+sports+glasses.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIenVmpZvvNV15BQW3tIXstqRdbKF51UctNWnUEL9dPNy6v03M2rL-jCxZfoWIZ0qXZrv_tV_-SRsD0uS6uGnV2KTb0F-1FkqzurQnTi7BNUMvTjVjHPxQBycT4-E8b-GTsStHDgxR_gEN/s1600/samsung+sports+glasses.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<b> It’s currently unclear if the latest leak is a standalone device, or one
 that would connect to a smartphone in a similar way – albeit through 
Bluetooth/NFC rather than a wire</b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Samsung Galaxy Glass Name</u></h3>
<b>Quite where the Glass moniker came from, we’re not quite 
sure. We’ve looked around for an answer, but couldn’t really find one. 
Our best guess is that someone referred to it as Samsung’s Glass and the
 name stuck.</b><br />
<b>Chances are it won’t launch with either the word Galaxy or Glass in it.</b><br />
<b>Samsung
 has been slowly moving away from the name Galaxy for all of its devices
 aside from its tablets and smartphones. Its most recent smartwatch and 
fitness gadgets have adopted the name Gear.</b><br />
<b>We’d be very surprised if Samsung didn’t follow this naming convention and go with the name Samsung Gear “Glass”.</b><br />
<b>Equally,
 we’d be very surprised if Samsung stuck with the name Glass for its 
headset – if that’s what it was ever called. The reason for that is 
simple – if a little boring. Because that’s what Google has called its 
smart headset.</b><br />
<b>Personally, I think the closest we’ll see is something like Samsung Gear Smartglass.</b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Samsung Galaxy Glass Price</u></h3>
<b>How much will Samsung’s Galaxy Glass cost? The honest answer
 is we don’t have a clue. However, there have been hints dropped by 
Samsung over the last couple of months.</b><br />
<b>In the interview with The Korea Times, the <a href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2014/01/133_150500.html">executive said</a>
 Samsung is keen to get first mover advantage. It’s also likely to use a
 similar strategy with Google as it has with Apple – undercut.</b><br />
<b>So
 while we don’t have any firm – or slightly unfirm – figures, what we 
can do is look at what Google is likely to do with its own Glass 
headset.</b><br />
<b>Currently, Google sells its Explorer edition 
Glass headset for $1,500 (£892). It has said that it will reduce that 
price tag when the consumer version comes out. However, it hasn’t said 
by how much – only that it would be “significantly less” that what it 
currently sells for.</b><br />
<b>As such, we really wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung’s own version came in at an absolute maximum of £400.</b><br />

MEET THE NEW MOBILE RINTER

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Printing things can be a real pain sometimes if you are frequently on
 the go. Sure, most smartphones now have the capability to send 
something to a printer to print, but what if there’s no printer 
available? What do you do if you really need to print something, but 
there’s not a library or an OfficeMax anywhere around you? Sadly, 
there’s not a whole lot you can do except to decide to just print it out
 when you finally arrive somewhere that has a printer. In today’s 
technological world, it seems like there should be a much easier way to 
print things on the fly – after all, since students can virtually write 
an entire paper using their smartphone (if they really wanted to, that 
is) – should’t they also have the ability to instantly print it as well?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>
</b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>There’s a popular product on Kickstarter that thinks the answer to that question is a resounding yes.<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1686304142/the-mini-mobile-robotic-printer" target="_blank"> It’s called the Mini Mobile Robotic Printer, but I think I’ll call it the Pocket Printer.</a>
 It’s a tiny printer that can easily fit in a (big) pocket or a 
handbag/backpack. It seriously allows you to print whatever you need 
wherever you are, as long as you have some paper with you. You don’t 
even have to plug it into an outlet – it’s that convenient.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Now, you can carry a printer with you wherever you go and can 
instantly print things from your smartphone. It currently supports iOS 
and Android mobile devices (it connects via bluetooth), as well as Linux
 and Windows operating systems. It’s not a fast printer by any means, as
 it will print about 1.2 pages-per-minute, but this printer isn’t what 
you use when you need speed; it’s what you use when you need convenient.
 As far as its size goes, it measures about 10 centimeters high and has a
 diameter of around 11.5 centimeters. And its wheels can travel anywhere
 it needs to go across the page. One inkjet will last for around 1,000 
pages while the battery will last for an hour with a full charge.</b></span><br />

</b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>A group of students from the Jerusalem College of Technology first 
thought of this idea in March of 2013. If everything goes according to 
plan, they will begin manufacturing these printers in September of 2014.
 As of this writing, they only need another $7,000 to reach their 
initial Kickstarter goal of raising $400,000.</b></span><br />
