Winter came into its own, but the industry is "smart" mobile devices does not fall into hibernation. Advent season sales in full swing, in addition, ahead of the first exhibitions of the year. At this point, interesting events can not be small.

SonyEricsson will own UIQ

One of the most unexpected and at the same time, meaningful news was the announcement of Sony Ericsson about reaching an agreement in principle regarding the acquisition of UIQ Technology. No more, no less. UIQ Technology is a subsidiary wholly owned by the company's Symbian. Accordingly, it uses the operating system and licenses Symbian OS platform, user interface and application development UIQ. It is worth noting that the largest shareholder in Symbian is a notorious company Nokia, which owns 47,9% of shares. Other shareholders are Ericsson (15,6%), Panasonic (10,5%), Samsung (4,5%), Siemens (8,4%) and Sony Ericsson (13,1%). Nokia Company provides the lion's share of sales of devices based on Symbian for its smartphones based on the platform S60. However, despite the popularity of Nokia, it can not create real competition communicator based on the operating system from Microsoft. S60-based devices are just another "weight" category, including, by the lack of support for touch screens. Nokia has taken its time in several attempts to produce a competitive device in this regard - both were created by Nokia 7700 and Nokia 7710 is based on the Series 90 platform - but the project was not taken root and continue not received. Already this year, Nokia has released another smartphone with a touchscreen - Nokia 6708, but first, this model represents only rebrendirovanny smartphone BenQ P31, and secondly, it is based on the platform ... UIQ. In fact, UIQ-communicators are becoming the main competitor to Windows Mobile. Operating System Palm OS here is no special role to play - even the company itself Palm started making the device not only on the basis of his classic OS, and Windows Mobile. In addition, the company PalmSource, developer of OSes Palm, bought Access, not so long ago began the process of changing the name of PalmSource to Access. Moreover, earlier this year, the two companies announced a new operating system - Acces Linux, which is a development platform Palm OS for Linux. Also an increasingly important role in this market is very Linux, but analysts still disagree on forecasts at its expense.

Company Sony Ericsson is currently the licensee of UIQ Technology, and works closely with her on a new version of the platform - UIQ 3.0. Now this version of the platform used in the new communicators Sony Ericsson P990, M600 and W950 Walkman. The transaction is expected to be completed within a few months. After that UIQ Technology will operate as a separate subsidiary of Sony Ericsson, the company's management will remain unchanged. In fact, Sony Ericsson is in the footsteps of Nokia, which owns such platforms as Symbian-S60, Series 80 and Series 90. It would be surprising if Sony Ericsson is bathed UIQ Technology solely for the sake of the game with a license, the more so in the press release states that the licensing policy change should not be. Guide UIQ Technology is really looking forward to additional investments from Sony Ericsson, which is quoted, are necessary to remain competitive. Thus, we can expect in the future, interesting news about the fate of UIQ. Fans of Sony Ericsson have already started to dream about future updates to the platform UIQ. Comes to the hopes of at least six new models in 2007: modified versions of the M600 with the camera, M600 with Wi-Fi and M600 with camera and Wi-Fi, as well as similar modified versions of the W950. Of course, to the latest information should be taken with a grain of humor. Finally we note that due to the news once again remembered the rumors of plans by Nokia to release next year, the first devices based on Windows Mobile.Unfortunately, on allegations that it is true, and such devices will, the sources of hearing loss do not go.

Samsung introduces a new generation of mobile devices

At the event, Mobile WiMAX Summit 2006, Samsung Electronics introduced a number of interesting developments in the field is not yet very well mastered and which are rarely used - mobile devices with support for WiMAX. Samsung is one of the main enthusiasts of the standard. In Korea last year began testing a mobile network WiMAX, created on the basis of homegrown Korean version of Mobile WiMAX (standard IEEE 802.16e TDD OFDMA) - WiBro, which incidentally, is fully compatible with Mobile WiMAX. At the same time were presented and the first mobile device that can operate in such a network. WiBro allows you to have a full broadband internet access in mobile environment, even when moving at speeds up to 120 km / h. This summer, the two largest Korean operator, Korea Telecom and SK Telecom, began providing commercial services on a network of WiBro. Now a few countries are implementing similar networks. One of the novelties, Samsung SPH-M8100 is a PDA running the operating system Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC. Traditional cellular networks, the device does not support all the communications network is expected to Mobile WiMAX (802.16e). That is, at a speed of 60 km / h transfer rate can reach 20 Mbps. The company stresses that the device is widely supported by services based on IMS (IP multimedia service), so the user can make VoIP-calls, using services such as VoD (Video-on-Demand, Video on Demand), video telephony and so on, and and "Push-to-All" - an analog service Push-to-Talk.

By form factor SPH-M8100 - it is a regular slider, even in his digital keyboard, like a simple mobile phones. It is equipped with touch-sensitive 2.8-inch display with a standard resolution of QVGA (320x240 pixels), 65K colors. Has two chambers - the main, with a resolution of 2 megapixel, and additional front with a resolution VGA, for video telephony. Also, the device is equipped with DMB-TV tuner and TV-out. For memory expansion card format used MMCmicro, which, incidentally, unusual for the latest innovations from Samsung, which increasingly uses a memory card formats, SD. Among other things, SPH-M8100 can be used as a modem for a laptop or desktop computer.

Second Novikov - even more unusual. She seemed to be gone from the pages of science fiction novel. Device called the SPH-P9000 Deluxe MITs at the form factor much in common with the previously submitted device S-XGen from the company Seamless Wi-Fi, too, are tricky formed three times with the QWERTY-keyboard. However, the Samsung product has one indisputable advantage - while the S-XGen is a powerful, feature-rich but still PDAs, SPH-P9000 is running a full operating system Microsoft Windows XP.

As usual, a new type of equipment will be run-in to the Koreans that Samsung has absolutely no regrets. The company plans to launch the device in South Korea in the first half of 2007. Price, even tentative, not yet named, but it is doubtful that it was just a little "budget." The good news is that the last time such a compact solution with decent computing power have become a more frequent, and so the era of truly mobile and compact computers in the offing. Samsung innovation mainly concerns non-standard form factor and support Mobile WiMAX.

Motorola Q Norman: European heir Moto Q smartphone

A potential successor to Motorola Q smart phone has long stirred the minds of fans of the model. Now, finally, the network has photos and information about it. Recall that the Motorola Q was announced last year, and released at the end of May this year in the U.S..

Presumably, but there is no unanimous opinion, the Motorola Q Norman will support wireless networks Wi-Fi. If the model will be released without support for Wi-Fi, it can not adequately compete with a smartphone Samsung i600, which has in other similar settings, an integrated Wi-Fi module is present.In addition, in this case the operator Vodafone will soon become the owner of a rich collection of models based on Windows Mobile sold without built-in support for Wi-Fi. A striking example of such a model is a communicator Treo 750v, released not long ago from the operator Vodafone. Response to the lack of Wi-Fi in the latter has been a wave of discontent reviews in the press, calling to refrain from buying it is for this reason.
