Qualcomm’s e-Reader Design Color Screens but not Consume Much Power

Qualcomm was designing the device e-book reader (e-reader) who sailed color but not labor intensive. The key is the use of advanced display technology developed by its subsidiary, Mirasol.

In the demonstration, Mirasol presents a model e-reader that uses the 5.7-inch screen. There are several versions of the planned full touch screen with touch screen or touch screen but not with the addition of a QWERTY keypad. Internet connection into is the main features of these devices.

The differentiation with similar devices made by other vendors, Mirasol developed technology called interferometer modulation in the screen. Technology utilizes mirror layer that is coated flexible membrane that reacts to electric currents. Light reflected to the surface of the membrane mirror will be distributed to the entire surface of the screen. The combination of light reflected by a particular wavelength will interfere each other to produce different colors in the membrane layer.

This technique does not require a large electrical energy because it only takes for one-stage color change alone. The result, the batteries hold up to a week compared to a standard LCD only tolerate a few hours. According to Marisol, the energy consumption is only 1 mW for an LCD screen size that typically spends 240-500 mW.

Mirasol screen does not require color filters, lenses polar, and backlighting. The picture is also still clearly seen in the light of the sun because of the high resolution. Was estimated selling price equals the price of the LCD. We have been used Mirasol technology in mobile phones with the LG one uses vendor. However, when the e-reader that is appeared not certain.

LG C6625 (Valencia)

Booming BlackBerry devices to make a choice of keyboard device now much. One of them is Samsung C6625, or more popular with the name Samsung Valencia. As this article is derived, Samsung has not issued an official price of Valencia. But if correct rumors that Valencia will come out with a range of $250, we believe that Valencia could heat up the market of Windows Mobile-based smart phones.

Actually Valencia still included family members of a typical BlackJack QWERTY keyboard. If you look different, it may be because it’s body a “better box” and much more broadly. Compare this with the SGH-i780, for example, which looks more fashions’ and slender. Valencia is also wearing the color combination of black half silver half; different from his predecessors who looked solid in all black body colors. Casing was made of plastic material that makes its weight felt light. But it also makes it easy to blister and eventually become scratched, cheap impressed.

The screen is not touch screen, so we can not use the stylus. Home screen looks different because there is a ribbon tab on the left side of the screen, similar to the ribbon on the Samsung Omnia widget. We see tabs are Home, Contacts, Music, Photo and Shortcuts. We were unable to find a way to change that tab. We can change existing shortcuts only in Shortcuts.

Because the screen is not touching screen, would not be surprised if Valencia is only using the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. The operating system is supported by many third-party applications, so it’s easy to add other applications that we want, whether for work or simply supporters of fun. Among the extra applications, we see no Midomi (for music recognition), Facebook, ShoZu and BeejiveIM. Samsung also said that Valencia supports Java MIDP 2.0, so that we can also use Java-based applications.

The interesting note is the Email Wizard seems. This set up immediate measures to set up free accounts, including Gmail and Yahoo. Windows Mobile 6.1 also already supports SMS thread that it looks like chat. Additional interest is included Samsung Message Ticker. When activated, a kind of ticker will appear on the home screen when there is incoming SMS.

Valencia provides a complete FM radio RDS. Unfortunately, because the unit we received was not accompanied by a headset, then we can not say more about this facility. This smart device is also equipped with GPS-based A-GPS. But all our observations, no included map application Samsung him.

MicroSD card slot on the left of the body, approximately parallel to the screen. There are slot cover. While the headset port (as well as the data cable) is on the top right of the body. SIM slot was hidden behind the battery. But my mouth still hampered battery slot that can not pull any pair of SIM cards. Valencia has 3.5G facilities. Depending on cellular provider’s network conditions, we should be able to enjoy high speed internet. These devices can also be used as a modem. What we pity from Valencia is the absence of Wi-Fi. So there is no alternative to connect to the internet.

In terms of facilities and design, nothing exotic from Samsung Valencia. An outstanding facility is a QWERTY keypad and support 3.5 G, but the lack of Wi-Fi a little disappointing. The design is also fairly simple and conventional. However, the most appropriate underlined by this tool is a competitive price. Although not yet received an official price, Samsung Valencia price is possible below cost $300. So, Samsung Valencia deserves to be an alternative for those who seek to keyboard devices.
