Nvidia Tegra Note tablets Android 4.3 update

Nvidia Tegra Note tablets Android 4.3 update 

Nvidia has started rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Tegra Note tablets, which brings new features and additions to the partner devices such as the Xolo Play Tegra Note.

The chip maker confirmed the news via the official Nvidia blog, and also noted that the update is now live for Tegra Note manufactured by OEMs such as Advent, EVGA, Gigabyte, Shenzhen Homecare Technology, Xolo and Zotac.
Nvidia has also revealed the changelog for the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Tegra Note tablets. Some of the changes included are enhanced stylus abilities with adding support for left-handed tablet users and upgrade in overall response; addition of the DirectStylus help option which will now appear on tablet setting's menu and a new stylus removal and insert option in the notification bar.
In addition, Nvidia has also upgraded the Tegra Note's camera app with the introduction of always-on high-dynamic range (AOHDR) capability, which according to the company provides more lifelike-images across various lighting conditions. The company notes that the new AOHDR feature will utilise the Tegra 4's processor prowess and Chimera computational photography architecture. The update also adds video stabilization for shake-free video. Other features in the new Android 4.3 update include security and bug fixes.
In September, Nvidia finally pulled the curtains back to reveal its Tegra Note tablet. However, the newly revealed Tegra Note was not a new consumer tablet, but instead a reference design tablet for Nvidia's partners to adopt and brand as their own.
Recently, Xolo launched its 7-inch Nvidia Tegra 4-powered tablet in India, the Xolo Play Tegra Note, at Rs. 17,999. It comes with a 7-inch HD IPS LCD (1280x800) display and is powered by a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor with a 72-core GeForce GPU and quad-core Cortex-A15 CPU. The tablet also packs in 1GB of RAM, coupled with 16GB of inbuilt storage that is expandable up to 64GB via microSD.
The Xolo Play Tegra Note features a 5-megapixel rear camera with HDR capabilities, and a VGA front-facing camera. It also sports front-facing HD audio stereo speakers with a 'bass-reflex port'. The Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet measures 199x119x9.6 mm, and weighs in at 320 grams.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 specification

Remember when people used personal computers - desktops and laptops - to check email, view video and keep tabs on Facebook? Back in that far-away era, I'd have several windows open for Web browsers, a word processor, a photo editor and sometimes a reader for PDF documents.
I miss that capability on mobile devices, particularly on full-size tablets with a decent amount of display space. With iPads and Android tablets, I'm typically limited to one window displayed at a time; other apps run in the background, out of sight. With Windows 8 tablets, I can run two windows side by side, but I'm constrained in what I can do with them. It gets better with the Windows 8.1 update due out next week, but it's still not the free-for-all I had with PCs.
So I marveled at a pair of multitasking features that come with Samsung's new tablet, formally called Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition. Sporting a 10.1-inch display, measured diagonally, the Note tablet goes on sale in the U.S. on Thursday at a starting price of $550.
The first of the multitasking features, called Multi-Window, has been available in Samsung devices for about a year, but it works with many more apps now. You can run two apps side by side, such as Facebook on one side and YouTube video on the other.
Like Windows 8 tablets, you're limited to just two apps. You can change how much of the screen each one takes, a capability coming with Windows 8.1, but you can't choose to have a window take up just the top left corner, the way you can on PCs. In addition, Multi-Window isn't a universal feature. Apps for Netflix and Hulu won't work, for instance. You currently have about 18 apps to choose from, including Facebook and a variety of Google and Samsung apps.
With that limitation, it's nice that Samsung Electronics Co. is supplementing Multi-Window with a feature called Pen Window.
With it, simply draw a box on the screen with the included stylus, and choose one of seven apps to open in a new window. Do it again and again until you open all seven apps, if you wish. That's nine in all, counting the two with Multi-Window. Each Pen Window app appears in a window that floats over your main app (or two apps if you use Multi-Window). You can move that window around on your screen and resize it, just as you can on PCs. Need a break from it? Just minimize it into a small dot and move it out of the way.
Like Multi-Window, you're restricted in what apps you can use with Pen Window, though I expect more to get added over time. For now, Pen Window on the tablet works with YouTube, the calculator, the alarm clock, your contacts list, the Web browser and two chat apps - Samsung's ChatOn and Google's Hangouts. I like the fact that you can open all of them and keep them out of the way in a minimized state. That way, it's just one click when you need the calculator and one click when you're done.
The iPad doesn't do that. Amazon's Kindle Fire doesn't do that. Other Android tablets don't do that. Windows 8.1 won't do that - at least not in the tablet-style viewing mode that Microsoft prefers you stick with. You'll have to go to the classic, desktop mode to resize windows, which defeats the purpose of having Windows 8 or 8.1. Windows 8.1 will go further than Multi-Window in letting you run up to four apps side by side, but that works only on larger screens, not portable tablets.
Beyond multitasking, the new Note tablet offers a My Magazine mode giving you personalized highlights, such as news topics of interest, content from your social media feeds and suggestions on things to do and see, based on your current location. It's a good concept, though Facebook isn't available through it yet.
The new tablet also gives you quick access to the tools you can accomplish with its stylus. Pen Window is one. Another feature lets you add notes to a screenshot of what you see. Another lets you clip a section of a Web page and store it with a Web link.
Unfortunately, not everything worked. Text recognition was poor. I'm supposed to be able to jot down an email address or a phone number with the stylus and have that handwriting converted into a contacts entry. But the device constantly confuses the letters "o" and "l" with the numerals "0" and "1."
Pen Window also is more difficult than necessary to set up. You need to take out the stylus for an Air Command tool to appear on the screen. You choose Pen Window, then draw a box on your screen with your stylus. Then you choose the app you want to open. Do all of that again to get additional apps, after figuring out how to get Air Command again with your stylus already out. It would have been simpler to have a button on the home screen that you can tap with your finger or stylus.
In addition, Samsung could have done more with the apps in minimized state. Google's chat app is reduced to a circular icon. It could have flashed or changed colors to notify me of a new chat message, rather than make me open and close it regularly to check.
The tablet's back is still made of plastic, but it feels like leather - an improvement over previous Samsung devices. The tablet does feel heavy, at 1.2 pounds, but that's still lighter than the 1.4 pounds for the full-size iPad. If you want light, wait until early November for the large-size version of Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX. It weighs just 0.83 pound.
Samsung's tablet is also pricey - the $550 starting price tops the iPad's $499 and the Fire's $379. Of course, neither the iPad nor the Fire includes a stylus.
One more complaint: Although the tablet uses the latest version of Android, 4.3, it doesn't offer that system's feature of letting multiple people share a device with separate profiles.
With the Note, it's clear some of the functionality we've long associated with PCs is coming to devices we're just getting to know. There's more to be done, including support for multiple users, but I'm glad Samsung is leading us in that direction.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite AMOLED tablet

Samsung has already revealed its intentions of focussing on the tablet segment in the coming year. Following the strategy, the South Korean manufacturer seems to be gearing up to introduce two new tablets - a 10.1-inch AMOLED display tablet and the alleged Galaxy Tab 3 Lite, if a few recent reports are to be believed.
ET News claims that Samsung's 10.1-inch AMOLED tablet might see the light of day by January and that the company will be showcasing the alleged AMOLED tablet at CES 2014. The report notes that Samsung would be aggressive in pushing out the rumoured 10.1-inch AMOLED tablet in market after launch. Further, the report informs that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.7 was the first AMOLED tablet from the company which was launched in 2011; however, it did not get good market response.
Apart from the 10.1-inch AMOLED tablet, Samsung is also said to be working on an 8-inch AMOLED display tablet. Further, the South Korean giant is said to launch one of the two models (8-inch and 10.1-inch AMOLED) alongside the 2014 flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5 early next year.
In addition, Sammobile has spotted the alleged Galaxy Tab 3 Lite at FCC. The FCC listing of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite reveals a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels; a 1.2GHz dual-core processor; 3G connectivity and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The report suggests that the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite launch can be in early January, but does not mention any specific release date.
Earlier reports had suggested that the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite with model number SM-T11 would be priced at 100 euros, translating to roughly Rs. 8,500. The report also claimed that the alleged Galaxy Tab 3 Lite would be available in Wi-Fi and 3G variants. Additionally the report detailed that the rumoured Galaxy Tab 3 Lite in Cream White colour variant would be rolled out to markets by the second week of January 2014, which would be followed by the 3G model in the same colour in the third week.
The rumoured Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is not the only Lite variant expected to launch soon, as Samsung is said to be working on the Galaxy Note 3 Lite and Galaxy Grand Lite, believed to be the affordable variants of Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Grand respectively, which are scheduled to launch at MWC 2014.

Acer Iconia W4 tablet

Acer has launched the successor to the Iconia W3 tablet, the Iconia W4 in India. The Acer Iconia W4 32GB variant will be available at Rs. 24,999, while the 64GB variant of the tablet will be available at Rs. 26,999.
Acer launched the Iconia W4 for the US in October this year.
The Acer Iconia W4 tablet runs Windows 8.1, Microsoft's latest operating system for desktops, notebooks and x86 tablets. Windows 8.1 brings new additions like enhanced searching and sharing features Internet Explorer 11, improved touch optimisation and brings back the 'Start' button.
The tablet is powered by 1.8GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3740 'Bay Trail-T' processor coupled with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM. The Acer Iconia W4 tablet features an 8-inch IPS (1280x800) display and sports a 5-megapixel rear autofocus camera and alongside a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Iconia W4 comes preloaded with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 for creating and editing Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. The tablet also supports additional storage up to 32GB with the help of microSD card. Connectivity options on the tablet include Micro-USB, Micro-HDMI and microSD slot.
The company also bundles a keyboard with the Iconia W4 tablet, which features leather cover that folds out, also serving as a tablet stand.
Acer had unveiled its first 8.1-inch Windows 8 tablet, the Acer Iconia W3, back in June at Computex 2013. It is powered by an Intel Atom Z2760 processor with a 1.8GHz dual-core chip. The tablet comes with a 1280x800 pixel resolution LED-backlit display. It also has a 2-megapixel front facing camera and a 2-megapixel rear camera.
Connectivity options on the Iconia W3 include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB and Micro-HDMI, lacking USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports seen on previous Windows tablets from Acer. The device weighs 540 grams and is 11.35mm thick. Acer promises around eight hours of battery life for the tablet which happens to be pretty good for its size.
Acer Iconia W4 tablet key specifications

• 8-inch IPS (1280x800) display with Zero Air Gap technology
• 1.8GHz Intel fourth generation (Intel Bay Trail series) Atom processor
• 32GB/ 64GB inbuilt storage, expandable up to 32GB via microSD card

Aakash 4 tablet production to start in January 2014

Production of the next version of world's 'cheapest tablet PC,' called Aakash 4, will start in January, and the price of the devices are expected to come down further by Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1,500 in a year, telecom minister Kapil Sibal said today.

"Aakash 4 has now been tendered for manufacturing. From January 2014, Aakash 4 which is like any other modern tablet in the country, is going to be manufactured by several players. [As many as] 18 people have actually participated in the tender," Sibal said while addressing students at Modern School in New Delhi.

The Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals, which procures products for government supplies, has floated a tender for the Aakash 4 tablet, for which bids will be opened on Friday.

The minister said that after 5 to 7 years, enough Aakash devices will be available for every school-going child in the country.

Sibal said he expects the price of the low-cost tablet to further fall by about Rs. 1,000 next year.

"The cost of that (Aakash tablet) at the moment we say is Rs. 2,500 but it is going to come down to Rs. 1,500," he said.

Aakash 4 will have a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, which will be also scratch resistant. The tablet will support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2G, 3G and 4G connectivity, come with 4GB of built-in storage, external memory card slot with storage capacity of up to 32GB, and front camera.

The minister said that modern technology and devices-like Aakash will change the way students will learn in coming days.

"... No longer is the teacher the sole repository of knowledge. Children get knowledge from all sorts of network site," Sibal said.

Citing transformation in education sector, the minister touched upon concept of 'meta-university' floated by him when he was human resource and development minister.

"The concept [of meta-university] is 3-4 universities can get together, and actually create a course which is not provided by syllabi of any particular university...this will happen in years to come not only between universities but between nations and universities around world," Sibal said.

He said students will be able to combine two courses and get degrees from respective universities.

Tablets and apps might be doctor's orders of the future

If you have ever sat in a doctor's waiting room, next to someone with a hacking cough and with only a pile of out-of-date Reader's Digests for company, then you may have asked whether the system was fit for 21st Century living.
The NHS seems under increasing pressure, from GP surgeries to accident and emergency rooms. It feels as if the healthcare system is in desperate need of CPR - the question is will technology be the thing that brings it back to life?
Daniel Kraft is a trained doctor who heads up the medicine school at the Singularity University, a Silicon Valley-based organisation that runs graduate and business courses on how technology is going to disrupt the status quo in a variety of industries.

Tricorders were a must-have on the Starship Enterprise

 

When I interview him he is carrying a device that looks suspiciously like a Tricorder, the scanners that were standard issue in Star Trek.
"This is a mock-up of a medical tricorder that can scan you and get information. I can hold it to my forehead and it will pick up my heart rate, my oxygen saturation, my temperature, my blood pressure and communicate it to my smartphone," he explains.
In future, Dr Kraft predicts, such devices will be linked to artificial intelligence agents on smartphones, which in turn will be connected to super-computers such as IBM's Watson, to give people instant and accurate diagnoses.
"It may say, 'Daniel, this is looking bad - you need to go to the emergency room', or it might say this is probably just the flu because there is a lot in the neighbourhood and your symptoms are consistent with that."
No such device is yet on the market but in the US there is currently a $10m (£6m) prize on offer to design one that is suitable for use in the home; 300 teams are competing.

Devices can enable doctors to closely monitor a patient

Devices can enable doctors to closely monitor a patient

Wearable devices such as Nike's FuelBand or Jawbone's Up are making people ever more aware of their health.
 
Wristbands
 
These days it seems as if there is an app for every medical condition. Diabetics can monitor their blood sugar levels via their smartphones, there are apps to track diet, pregnancy and menstrual cycles. It is even possible to get smartphone-enabled blood pressure cuffs.
Dr Kraft is wearing four wristbands, monitoring a range of things including his heart rate, his sleep pattern and how many steps he takes each day.
Such devices, he says, make him the "CEO of his own health" and he thinks that doctors will increasingly be prescribing such tools instead of handing out pills.
"I might prescribe you exercise. I might say, 'Here's a band and I want you to wear this and I want to see that you are improving your exercise.'"
Last year, the UK's Department of Health said that it was looking at the possibility of doctors prescribing apps, although they are currently unregulated, leading some medical experts to question what role they should play in healthcare.
In September the US Food and Drug Administration said that it would regulate only the small number of apps that act like medical instruments.
 
Surgery via Glass?
 
"Such tools can be valuable but there are privacy issues about whether patients want to share their data with their doctor as well as how accurate such data is," said Mary Hamilton, managing director of consultancy Accenture's technology labs.

Google Glass could prove a useful tool for surgeons

 

Accenture and Philips recently conducted a proof-of-concept demo in which a surgeon wore Google Glass, allowing him to simultaneously monitor a patient's vital signs and react to surgical procedural developments without having to turn away from the patient.
Such devices could also be used to instantly bring up patient data when a doctor conducted his ward rounds, says Ms Hamilton.
If wearable technology and the data it generates does get integrated into the health service, GPs will know exactly whether a patient is following doctor's orders.
"If you do a good job your healthcare premiums might get lowered or the NHS might give you an incentive like tickets to a concert," says Dr Kraft.
Insurance firms such as PruHealth are already offering lower premiums for those who can prove they have healthy lifestyles.
 
Citizen scientists
 

Citizen scientists are offering new ways to solve medical problems

 

Last year, speaking at a health conference, tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Sun Microsystems Vinod Khosla made the extraordinary claim that in the future 80% of what doctors do will be replaced by technology.
He likened current healthcare to "witchcraft" and argued that machine learning would be a much more efficient, accurate and cheaper diagnosis tool.
The shift is already happening, says Dr Kraft. "There are robotic anaesthesiologists coming online and applications to take pictures of a skin lesion that can do a better job than dermatologists."
Meanwhile IBM's Watson is giving human doctors a run for their money when it comes to diagnosing cancer.
In February the super-computer was made available to rent to any hospital or clinic that wanted to get its opinion on oncology-related matters - and with its ability to take in and analyse vast quantities of data, it may just be just the extra medical mind that doctors need.
But it isn't just machines changing the way medicine is conducted.
When 14-year-old Jack Andraka discovered a new way of testing for pancreatic cancer just by searching Google and borrowing some lab space from nearby Johns Hopkins University, it was an indication that the old way of doing things might be over.
Prof Raymond McCauley runs the US's first ever bio-hack lab, where members of the public are invited to come in and "play around with DNA" and conduct other experiments.
"Things that were major government and academic projects a few years ago are now things that junior high school students are doing in their basements," he says.
Whatever the future for healthcare there is little question that the system is in desperate need of an overhaul.
"Healthcare today in many ways is broken," says Dr Kraft.
"There are lots of challenges with costs, ageing populations, fragmented big data but we have the opportunity with many of these new and exponential technologies... to help reinvent elements of health and medicine.
"Then we can actually do healthcare rather than what we are doing today, which is sickcare."
