5 product line impress in CES 2012

Consumer Electronic Expo 2012 CES will be held on Tuesday next week in Las Vegas. This is an opportunity for manufacturers to introduce products of their latest technology. So what is the focus of this year's CES?

In contrast to the exhibition times before, if 3D TV and electronic reading device is the hot topic of the CES 2010 Android tablet almost occupies the attention of the world of technology at CES 2011. Although this year's event has not occurred, but was much speculation about the key products that the manufacturer offers. Here are five product lines can be "exploded" at CES 2012.

OLED screen

OLED technology promises to deliver more vibrant colors, response time is shorter and can be applied to devices smaller than the LCD or LED.

However, at the present time this technology is still relatively modest proportion of the sample HDTV. This can be changed at CES this year with the LG OLED TV to reveal the biggest ever.
Product size 55 inch, a thickness of only 4 mm, weight 7.5 kg and the response time less than 0.0001 milliseconds (ms), this number for the LCD TV is from 2-5 ms .

Ultrabook

Intel has brought the concept of "ultrabook" with compact size, SSD and battery time from October 5 / 2011. So far, there have been few products of this line appears as Lenovo IdeaPad U300s, Acer Aspire and Toshiba Portege Z835 S3.

However, opponents of the Macbook Air will actually "remove" in this year's CES with products expected to range from 20 to 50. Also at the show, Intel CEO Paul Otellini's speech will be important for Ivy Bridge Core processors for ultrabook to replace the current line of Sandy Bridge.

Phone quad

For enthusiasts, the phone CES 2012 is a strong chance the series could voyeuristic devices.

Quad-core processor for mobile phones have emerged, such as Qualcomm Snapdragon and Nvidia Tegra 3 S4. It is not clear how many phones will be launched quad core on this occasion, but the world of technology is expected to have a breakthrough on the processing power of the phone next week.

4K display

1080p is considered the standard "yellow" on the HDTV market and is considered "Full HD", but this seems to be quickly outdated with a screen resolution of 1080p will be 4 times CES is at this time.

LG plans to introduce a 84 inch screen, capable of Internet connection, displaying 3D and 4K resolution. Toshiba also plans to launch the screen resolution like this. And most likely on Tuesday here, the phrase "Full HD" will be the producer "definition" again.

Ice Cream Sandwich

Tablet is also a major theme of CES 2010, when manufacturers want to "preemptive" iPad. CES 2012 and is expected to witness the appearance of the tablet running Android Ice Cream Sandwich, operating system platform the latest version of Google.

If at the show last year, Motorola Xoom is the only device to use Honeycomb, this year this figure will be more promising thanks to Google's source release soon Ice Cream Sandwich.
Manufacturer Coby Electronics of America expected to hit the 4 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet at CES 2012. Also, do not exclude the possibility that other companies will also bring the tablet of their Ice Cream Sandwich.

S4 - tablet running quad-core processor Qualcomm's first

Tablets of Qualcomm owns an impressive processing power provided by chip Snapdragon platform S4 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Tablet use Snapdragon chip S4 and OS Ice Cream Sandwich

At the conference organized by the new Qualcomm earlier this month, mobile chip maker revealed some information regarding a product tablets using Snapdragon chip using S4 and install the operating system Android.
Remarkably, this device is a fully integrated feature of the phone and be placed in series phone platform MDP (Mobile Platform development) initiated by Qualcomm.
As predicted, after updating to Ice Cream Sandwich platform, sample tablets will have more processing power than many other tablet impressed with parameters such as dual-core CPU MSM8960 S4, 2 GB RAM , 32 GB internal memory.
Also this product will be designed large 10.1 inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixel, virtual surround sound system with 2 channel stereo speakers. Equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera 2 megapixel rear and front, both cameras are capable of 1080p video.
Qualcomm's tablet will be at the CES 2012 event.

According to Consumer Electronics

The quad phones expected in 2012

Only a year ago, dual-core mobile phone was a new concept, now, the chip maker has chosen processor quad-core processor for multitasking demands on the growing mobile enough to compare the performance with the desktop.

Optimus 2X LG smartphone is using a dual-core processor in the world first

One of the most searched for mobile phones in 2011 as "dual-core". Ministry of dual-core processors have become the standard for high-end smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X starting in January. However, in 2012 all will be talking about quad-core, processor cores doubled compared to the current dual-core smartphone. And most likely quad-core processors are also the representatives of the smartphone in 2012.
Let us look into the quad-core processors in smartphones next year

The power of multi-core processors

Nvidia is the first manufacturer to launch dual-core processor for mobile devices with members of LG Optimus 2X was released for the first time, using the Tegra processors 2. And represents the first use of quad-core processor is Nvidia's Tegra 3 tablet Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF201 Prime fixed shelves is 12.19 days to come. This processor speed is 1.3 GHz and quad-core processors on the market only. Prime Transformer is rated very high with beautiful graphics and compelling performance.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF201 is Prime tablet running quad-core processor first

However, other manufacturers are very confidential conversation device manufacturers to use quad-core processors. Nvidia said that some equipment manufacturers have chosen Tegra 3 for his phone but did not disclose what they are conducting. However, the most likely phone quad-core will be released in quarter 1 / 2012.
Of course, it can not stop the rumors floating about the devices from the forum or blog page. The rumors of HTC smartphone Edge is said to be the first quad-core processor running the world's Tegra 3 was revealed. Pocketnow Board Statistics has published exclusive photos of the Edge. But more remarkable when the current multi-page message to the world easily "overwhelmed" when stuck for what is called the "reliable sources", but just are not that information has been finished do.
Qualcomm has announced that it has successfully developed a quad-core Snapdragon processor code-named S4 APQ064 assigned. S4 is based on the incoming ARM, running at speeds from 1.5 to 2.5 GHz. Vice President of product management for Qualcomm, Mr. Raj Talluri, said that smartphone running quad-core processors first Snapdragon will be released globally on holiday next year.

Unlike Nvidia, and Qualcomm, producer TI processor does not set clear objectives for its OMAP processors. Instead of calling are dual-core or quad-core, TI said it was "multicore processors." The company released five OMAP processor SoC (system-on-chip) but did not give any precise standards. The thing is they think OMAP 5 competitors with quad-core processor from Nvidia.
Smartphones and tablet computers used by Samsung's Snapdragon processor and Tegra, but parts of the semiconductor manufacturing company has also introduced the next generation of SoC processors Exynos line. Accordingly, Exynos 5250 is quad-core processor, but remember it was developed based on the processor's dual-core ARM Cortex-A15. Like TI, Samsung Exynos seems confident that 5250 could become a standard and competitor performance processors with quad-core current.

More cores is better?

According to Nvidia, quad-core processors to improve performance in multitasking workflow as well as the performance of multithreaded applications. According to a quad-core processors will bring to mobile working capabilities comparable to desktop.
Nick Stam, director of technical marketing at Nvidia commented that: "People will look at your phone as a computer. Quad-core processor of the phone enough to replace many functions of a notebook or desktop computer. "
Talluri also hope you will see the power of quad-core processors in multi-tasking capabilities. This speed allows users to switch between open applications at a rate much faster than working with a dual-core phone.

Some examples of applications to take advantage of quad-core processors on the smartphone can be said as the game. Quad-core processors capable of supporting multi-threaded applications, meaning that an application can run multiple processes at once, so playing games on your phone can support quad core and more more tasks.
The game is not the only application that can benefit from quad-core processors. Can be included as image editing software will process faster than phone use single core processors or dual core. Applications, such as images and video for Adobe Photoshop Touch tablet sometimes benefit from the increase in core processing power.
One argument against the quad-core smartphone devices and even dual-core content that is not really optimized to take advantage of multiple cores. We both Nvidia and Qualcomm are very active in the development to optimize the content on your processor.

And the problem with battery life

Shorten the battery life is something that smartphone users will certainly feel uneasy. Pin on a smartphone can not seem to serve the fast growing demand of the processor with the network connection stronger.
However, Nvidia said that the quad-core processors they can actually affect less battery life than single processors or dual core. With Tegra 3, the process is assigned to work across multiple cores, so a quad-core smartphone consume less power than a dual-core smartphone. Tegra processor actually has three additional core companion named No. 5 was designed by providing lower performance on a particular piece of silicon. Companion capable of handling the duties at a lower speed when operating in standby mode, music and video playback.

Talluri explained that quad-core processor from Qualcomm will be able to run simultaneously at multiple speeds and different voltages. For example, if a user opens an email (requires less power) and then click on the link opens a web page flash video (requires significantly more power), intelligent systems can be adapted to communicate for processor cores at different power levels.
Most likely quad-core tablet to make landfall at CES took place in January 2012, while the first quad-core smartphone (most likely using processors from Nvidia) will display at the Mobile World Congress later a month. And now, it's too early to predict the impact of quad-core smartphone on the mobile world.

Prime Transformer Asus to market on time Christmas

Tablet (tablet) "very hot" Asus Prime Transformer, a potential competitor of the iPad 2, can be shipped in time for Christmas service this year.
After many fear will be postponed Prime Transformer Asus released until next year, a number of articles cited sources saying that Asus tablet will be released on 19/12/2011. If that is true, it would be good news for consumers who are eager to buy an Android tablet right to stay Christmas and New Year.
Friday, 9/12/2011 last night, it was rumored that Asus Prime Transformer will be delayed due to problems with Wi-Fi. But then an article on SlashGear website said that this tablet will begin to be released in about a week. Now that Asus is trying to find out who has hit the rumor said.

"At this point, we still decided to launch the Prime Transformer is scheduled on 12.19.2011," a spokesman said, Asus will update on the situation further when more information .
In fact, Prime Transformer may be the "iPad 2 killer" because it actually provides a better specification techniques, more storage at a price lower than Apple's tablet. However, this tablet does not support 3G, as some expect, although it is not the problem for those with mobile hotspot device.

The "specialty" of the tablet in 2012

Tablet in the next 12 months will have more in molting compared to what took place this year from processing speed, interoperability design model for the design.
2012 will be the focus of a new generation of Apple iPad, army tablet running Android 4.0 and the launch of the tablet on Windows 8. In particular, representatives from Nokia has announced a Windows tablet 8 of them will be released in June next year.

Lighter and thinner

With each year, the electronic products are taken care, improving the design to be refined, slimmer and that users do not feel tired hands to hold. Therefore tends to thin - light is the most visible changes on the tablet in 2012. "Standard" line of equipment will be slightly less than 500 grams, less than 8 mm thin and popular screen size is from 7 to 10 inch.

Cheaper

Amazon Kindle's success is due to Fire cheap, only 200 USD, while the majority of the 2010 range tablet 400 USD. Manufacturers will have to review the prices to be competitive in the market. CEO of chip maker Nvidia Tegra predict tablet running 3 would be reduced to an average of 300 USD in mid-2012.

Fire helps Kindle tablet cheaper.

Quad-core chips

3 Tegra processors, code-named Kal-El, quad core and 12's GeForce graphics bring new strength to the tablet, which is regarded as the main engine, suitable only for entertainment, web surfing ... common. We will catch up and configured somewhat competitive with laptop performance. Asus Prime Transformer is the first product to integrate Tegra 3 for $ 500 USD (32 GB capacity). Qualcomm also announced Snapdragon S4, is expected to appear in the second half of 2012 when Freescale and Texas Instruments announced the launch of processors based on ARM architecture similar next year.

High-definition screen

iPad 2 has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixel, pixel density is 132 pixels / inch is 7 inch Toshiba Thrive density up to 225 pixels. This is the important factor when choosing to buy tablet because they help show content should be smooth and more beautiful world production will be focused to improve competitiveness.

Operating System

Android Ice Cream Sandwich is a merger of the Android platform 2.x (for phones) and Android 3.x (for tablet) with several important changes. HTC, LG, Samsung, Sony have plans to upgrade the product to the operating system as well as launching a new range of equipment.

Tablet running Windows 8 is one of the most awaited products in 2012.

However, Android will face two formidable opponents as IOS and Windows 8. This next-generation Windows is a major reorganization, a complete change of consumer perception of Microsoft's operating system. Unlike Windows 7, Windows 8 interface with icons Metro squares (Tile) customized for the interactive touch screen. It not only supports Intel chip that both ARM and faster boot time, help the user does not have to wait long as the previous generation of Windows.
As is usual, Apple will probably announce iPad 3 beginning in 2012 (no later than March). The company launched new iOS 5.0 to the new tablet will likely not have many significant changes to the operating system than at present.

Samsung Galaxy S III equipped with quad-core processors in the early 2012

The first information about the Samsung smartphone Galaxy S III equipped with quad-core processors have begun to reveal, and this smartphone will likely appear first came here in 2012.

According to reports from sources that the next Samsung smartphone will be equipped with quad-core processor Samsung Exynos 4412 was developed. Exynos 4412 is currently in the testing process is expected to use the ARM Cortex A9 architecture with 4 cores running at 1.5 GHz.
