Symbian to maintain OS dominance

01 October 2009 – A new report from Juniper Research finds that recent concern over the future health of the Symbian platform may be ill-judged, with the analyst firm predicting that it will remain the dominant mobile operating system (OS) for the next five years. Juniper expects shipments of open source Symbian handsets to more than double between now and 2014, reaching 180 million (up from 87 million today). Although Juniper asserts that the platform faces strong competition in a smartphone marketplace increasingly targeting consumers, 'prosumers,' as well as corporate customers, Symbian's overall market share will remain virtually unchanged over that period. According to Gartner, Symbian held a 51 percent share of the smartphone OS market in 2Q09. Recent reports talking up the heavily-hyped Android platform (from Google), and Apple's iPhone OS, have suggested that the Symbian platform may struggle to maintain dominance. A move announced in August by Nokia - traditionally Symbian's biggest supporter - to use Windows in its upcoming netbook and Linux in its N900 smartphone has also fuelled such concern.
Juniper adds that Symbian's growth, allied to a steady increase in Android and LiMo OS shipments, will push the total open source handset market beyond 220 million by 2014 (from 106 million this year). Although rival platforms from Apple, RIM, Microsoft and Palm use proprietary operating systems, Juniper notes that, with over 60 percent of the smartphone market now using an open source OS, there has been a significant shift in position from proprietary to open source.

Latest Mobile Phones - Simple and Fashionable

The change is a new word for mobile phones. Every day is a new day for mobile industry. All the mobile brands are coming with new and stylish mobile phones like Nokia N96 and Nokia N98, Samsung introduces Samsung U800 Soul, Motorola comes with Motorola Z6w, LG introduces LG U970 Shine 3G, Apple phone comes with Apple iPhone 2 3G etc. These latest mobile phones are fully loaded with latest technology with all amazing features.
In Latest Mobile Phones Nokia N 96 is not less than an achievement. This Nokia mobile phone has all modern and necessary technology which a latest phone should have.

This service provider offers you latest phones in a very cheap price with their service.

Your Mobile Phone is More Advanced Than Your Entire Company, But it Doesn't Need to Be!

Technology is ever changing, evolving and becoming things that we never thought possible ten years ago, but business are being left behind, failing to utilise technological advances. Allow me for a moment to use the analogy of the mobile phone. Mobile phones no longer just make phone calls and send text messages. They and now super-computers that sit in the palm of your hand. Digital camera, video recorder, video calling, portable music players, GPS, digital radio, e-mail, calendars that synchronise with your PC, Bluetooth, the internet (which contains just about everything, ever) and now applications -which provide endless possibilities - are all features that are starting to appear as standard.
Think back ten years, and work out how many different devices you would need to serve all the functions that you get in a typical mobile phone. You have a list of maybe a dozen different devices that you would struggle to fit into the boot of a car, let alone the palm of your hand. So why aren't businesses keeping up? It's simple. Businesses are failing to become what mobiles are, integrated.
The business of yesterday has all the functionality of the business of today, but it is split into a number of large, cumbersome components that do not talk to one another. When you bring these functions together and get them communicating seamlessly through one system, you won't just be up to date, you'll be one step ahead of your competitors. It's quick and easy to do, and you'll be surprised how affordable it is.

Mobile Phone microscopy

RESEARCHERS at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a microscope attachment which enables a standard mobile phone with a camera to be used for high-resolution clinical microscopy. Daniel Fletcher and his colleagues describe the CellScope in a paper published today in the open access journal PLoS One, and demonstrate that it can be used to capture high quality bright field images of the malaria parasite and sickle blood cells, as well as fluorescence images of cells infected with the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. The device could potentially become an important tool for medical diagnostics in the developing world, where resources are limited and laboratory facilities scarce, but where mobile phone networks are ubiquitous.

The working prototype shown here consists of a compact optical microscope mounted onto a Nokia N73 mobile phone equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera. With cheap eyepieces and objective lenses, the device has a magnification of up to 50X and an estimated resolution of 1.2 µm (micrometres, or thousandths of a millimeter). This is sufficient for direct observation of abnormally-shaped red blood cells which are characteristic of sickle-cell anemia (below left) and of cells infected with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria. By attaching filters which block out background light and a simple light-emitting diode (LED) which emits light of a specific wavelength, the CellScope can also detect, in samples of sputum, the green fluorescent dye which is used to stain cells infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (below right).

Using CellScope, minimally trained health care workers could therefore capture images from samples obtained from patients, and transmit them wirelessly to a clinic so that they can be examined properly by an expert diagnostician. The evaluation of samples could also be performed in real-time whilst the patient is still in the presence of the health care worker, by treating samples with rapid staining techniques and then using a specialized Java-based image processing and analysis program called ImageJ for automated sample counting, so that, for example, the number of bacteria present in a sample can be determined almost immediately.
The device could be produced very cheaply as it uses simple components and expands on the capabilites of standard mobile phones while using the existing communication infrastructure. The use of LEDs - which have a lifespan of about 50,000 hours - makes it particilarly suited to clinical applications in the developing world as well as in rural areas, where replacement parts might be expensive or unavailable. CellScope could also provide remote access to digitized health records, and would be amenable to epidemiological studies, using triangulation or global positioning system location data, such that outbreaks could be monitored as they happen.
