Sony Xperia Ion Preview

The first day of world's largest international consumer technology tradeshow appeared to be quite fertile for Sony Electronics (yes, SE is rebranded as Sony), with its President and COO, Phil Molyneux unveiling their most recent Android smartphone, the Sony Xperia Ion.

Promising to experience pure entertainment in brilliant HD, Sony Xperia Ion is quite easy to fall in love with! The phone hooks up into the 4G LTE network of AT&T, being available this spring. The 12MP camera to capture your memories in less than a second and an extremely thin design grabbed the attention of many, without a hands-on look at the device.

Other noteworthy specs include a 4.6-inch HD touchscreen, HDMI-out, plus an interface for a TV launcher and a 1280×720 display that makes use of Sony’s Mobile Bravia Engine – suspected to be the same technology as to Sony’s line of Bravia TVs.

A compatible dock, the Xperia Ion comes with, enables larger display viewing, and when attached to a TV, users have the ability to play music, view photos and even send out SMS messages from the Xperia Ion to the TV- controlled using any TV remote!

As for the external appearance - Xperia Ion comes housed in an aluminum shell that's promoted as "thin, lightweight, and durable" and the screen is one of Sony's so-called Mobile Bravia Reality Display modules — a technology offering a laminated, gapless appearance.

A release date and price on the Xperia Ion is yet to be announced by Sony, but look for it to launch on AT&T this spring, and don't worry — an Android Ice Cream Sandwich is already in the works!

The Sony Xperia Ion will be the first Sony-branded phone to grace the U.S. market. Coming to AT&T, it packs in 4G LTE speed and a 12-megapixel camera, along with a guaranteed upgrade from Android 2.3.7 to version 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich."

Sony Ericsson is in the middle of becoming Sony; while Sony bought out the Ericsson part of the partnership, the transaction still hasn't legally closed. That means a firm still technically called Sony Ericsson is introducing smartphones with the Sony name on them.

We played with it a bit at the CES trade show. Slim, sleek, and ultra-sharp, the Ion was among the nicest devices we handled at CES.

The Ion has a 4.6-inch, 1280-by-720 pixel HD that looked absolutely gorgeous in person. And because the design of the phone itself is so pared down and trim, it didn't feel unwieldy like some other phones with 4.5-inch+ displays can. There's a built-in HDMI-out port, which means you easily view the content of your phone over an HDTV. The phone is also capable of sharing content via DLNA and Bravia Sync.

The Ion is sporting some impressive specs under the hood, as well. It's powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor, and comes with 16GB of built-in memory. There's also an empty microSD card slot, which allows you to add up to 32GB of additional memory. The phone is running Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread), and Sony has pledged to upgrade its devices to Ice Cream Sandwich. It felt super swift and responsive as we swiped between home screens and loaded apps.

Xperia Ion Picture

The Xperia Ion also features an impressive 12-megapixel rear-facing camera that captures 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The camera uses Sony's Exmor R sensor, which Sony said greatly improves low-light performance. The camera was especially fast when we tried it out, snapping clear photos almost instantaneously. There's also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat that is capable of recording 720p video at 30 frames per second.

The Ion will be PlayStation certified, running at least some PlayStation games. Sony's Playstation-everywhere strategy has been a little muddled. The Xperia Play phones have about 200 optimized games, but the Sony Tablet S only had a few dozen when I looked at it, and many well-known PS2 (not to mention PS3) names are missing. Sony execs said that over time, the Ion will gain more PS1 and PS2 games.

It's also unclear whether the Ion will better integrate Sony's media services than the Sony Tablet S ($399, 3 stars) does. Sony owns a lot of great content, but its Crackle, Ustream, Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services didn't connect with each other at all, requiring multiple sign-ins.

The Ion doesn't have a release date or pricing info yet, other than that it will be available in the "second quarter" of the year. By then it will go up against the HTC Titan II, which sports a 16-megapixel camera (albeit one which might not be as high quality as the Ion's) and the Nokia Lumia 900, with a high-quality 8-megapixel shooter sporting a Carl Zeiss lens.

OmniVision OV2722 Chip Specs, Best Front Camera With 1080p

OmniVision announced a new image sensor OmniVision OV2722 chip that could make you look a lot better on your next smartphone or tablet video chat The new sensor is both thinner and better in low light than an earlier iteration, so we'll hopefully see fewer instances of blurrycam self-portraits and video calls.

The OV2722 is in mass production now for unnamed clients, although we're worried that the resolution jump will show us a little too much detail in that chat with Aunt Mildred.

The OV2722 is a 1/6-inch native 1080p HD CMOS image sensor, offering full field of view video with optimized image quality, sensitivity, color reproduction and clarity without scaling or cropping. Built on the new 1.4-micron OmniBSI+ pixel, the OV2722 offers significant performance improvements over the first generation, OmniBSI™-based OV2720, including a 60 percent increase in full-well capacity, a 10 percent increase in quantum efficiency and a 10 percent improvement in low-light performance. Additionally, the OV2722 is designed to fit extremely thin modules with a z-height of less than 3 mm, while maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility with its predecessor, making it a drop-in replacement for system designers.

The OV2722 supports multiple platform architectures and controllers with both parallel and MIPI interfaces. It allows system designers to leverage the same opto-electrical design across various products and multiple market segments to reduce product development time. Exposure control, white balance and defective pixel canceling are programmable through the serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface.

OmniVision says its OV2722 camera chip can eliminate the tradeoff entirely, allowing for full HD picture quality from both rear and front cameras on even the thinnest devices.

"We believe that current market trends are quickly moving beyond 720p, and we are seeing strong demand for premium quality 1080p HD video sensors that can meet the criteria and specifications of online video sharing platforms such as Skype, and unified communications platforms such as Microsoft Lync," said OmniVision director of product marketing Nick Nam.

"In addition, many high-end cameras are required to have extremely small form factors so that they can fit inside next-generation smartphones, tablets, notebooks and Ultrabooks. The OV2722 is specifically crafted to meet these stringent performance requirements and design specifications, making it the ideal choice for these high-end devices."

Whether it is an Xperia Ion, Arc HD or the Nozomi ?

Sony has taken to the company’s Facebook page to tease a “big announcement” coming at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show. Keen-eyed readers suggest that the teaser images, pictured above, could depict the sequel to the Xperia Arc, though nothing has been confirmed.

Over the past few weeks we have seen various Sony leaks suggesting that the company will soon announce a mega-phone set to launch on AT&T, code-named the LT28at. Sony Ericsson also recently registered a new trademark for the name Xperia Ion, and rumors have suggested that the “Nozomi” smartphone may land at this year’s show as well. Whether it is an Xperia Ion, Arc HD or the Nozomi, Sony looks to be gearing up for something big at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Specifications And Price In Euro

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Overview :

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 is less than 2.5mm thick, still comes with an optical drive and 1600 x 900 pixels display. Other opt-ins expected is the NVIDIA Optimus graphics processor and up to 1TB of storage. The S430 comes with Dolby Home Theatre V4 and USB 3.0 ports. Lenovo expects the S430 to be available in June

The key here is the port on the left, namely Thunderbolt. We expect this to be a big theme of CES 2012, with the weight of the industry moving behind the inevitable successor to USB.

And so it should. To quote Lenovo, Thunderbolt allows you to “transfer a full-length HD move in less than 30 seconds and back up a year of continuous MP3 playback in just over 10 minutes.”

Intel’s Ivy Bridge architecture will also make its debut with the S430, with our Lenovo spokesman making it clear that this would be one of the flagship products at the time of launch.

This helps the 14in S430 to shed some weight and girth compared to the ThinkPad S420, which it replaces. The main stats are “under 4lb” and “less than 20mm thick” according to our insider, which is quite respectable for a machine that includes either a DVD burner or a second hard drive.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Specifications :

• Display: 14 inches
• Resolution: 1366 x 768
• Operating system: Windows 7
• Notable apps: MS Office Starter 2010, Norton Antivirus 2012
• Processor: Intel Ivy Bridge Core i3
• Chipset: N/A
• Graphics: Nvidia Optimus graphics
• RAM: 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
• Hard Disk: 320 GB
• Optical Disk Drive: DVD±R/RW
• Web camera: In-Build
• Speaker: 2, Dolby Home Theater v4
• LAN: 10/100/1000 (Gigabit)
• Wireless: Wi-FI 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a
• Bluetooth: Optional
• Ports: USB 2.0 x 1, USB 3.0 x 3, Ethernet x 1, VGA x 1,
• HDMI x 1, 3.5mm mic / headphone combo x 1, Thunderbolt x 1
• Card Reader: Yes 128 GB
• Battery: 6 cell
• Depth: 9.37 inches
• Thickness: 0.87 inches
• Weight: 4 pounds
• Color: Brown

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Price In Euro :

If a product page on Geizhals.at is to be believed, the Thunderbolt loaded, 14-inch S430 is set to carry a €809 (about $1,015) price tag on one of the higher-end models, with this particular one showing a hot off the press Ivy Bridge CPU (i5-3210M), NVIDIA GeForce GT630M graphics, 4GB of RAM and two USB 3.0 ports, among other things.

Of course, this kind of cash is a slightly larger amount than, say, the $749 we heard when the machine was announced, though, that's likely caused by the souped-up specs and could, as usual, vary depending on configuration. Either way, we have a feeling it won't be too long before we find out its official pricing and release date.

AGA iTotal Control Oven, Which Naturally Works Over WiFi, Giving You An On-Screen Emulation Of Its Control Panel On Either Your Computer's Web Browser Or AGA's iOS And Android Apps Review

It appears that these days there is an app that allows your iPhone to do just about anything, even down to remotely operating your kitchen oven no matter where you are, as apparently AGA Rangemaster has selected Everything Everywhere to enable customers to talk to their AGA cooker via an iOS app, website or text and the mobile app controls the AGA cooker by way of an Orange SIM card being integrated into the oven, and as such can remotely control the new cooker via an iPhone, and an Android smartphone, or if you don;t own a smartphone, you can control the AGA iTotal cooker from a mobile phone via SMS text with commands such as all ovens off. he iTotal Control is set to sell for a hefty base-price of £10,090 (~$15,826) and you'll also be tied to a one-year contract with Orange for £5.95 (~$9) a month to enable the texting functionality. Commands such as “baking oven on” or “all ovens off”, will trigger the relevant actions and finally, if you're at work or round a friend's and fancy getting the oven on and pre-heated in time for your return home, you can also control your oven on your PC or laptop from a dedicated web portal.

If you grew up in the 70s, it was tempting to imagine the home of the future would be decidedly space age, with robots running everything and us sitting back doing very little. This, of course, isn't quite how things turned out - but things are getting decidedly more techie in the kitchen. AGA has taken things a step further by launching the AGA iTotal Control cooker. Owners of this innovative new range cooker will be able to control it wherever they are, using a mobile phone, smartphone, PC, laptop, iPad or tablet. The AGA iTotal Control cooker's three ovens (roasting, baking and simmering) are remotely operated, so you can ensure the cooker is warm and supper will be cooked at exactly the time you need it - wherever you are in the world. Essentially, you can sync your AGA at the touch of a button. Those AGA iTotal Control owners who don't have a smartphone, tablet or laptop can still take advantage of this technical revolution - simply by sending a text message to the AGA. The AGA can also be controlled via the web, so even if you have no phone signal you can use a wireless network to ensure the cooker is doing exactly what you want it to. Those AGA iTotal Control owners who don't have a smartphone, tablet or laptop can still take advantage of this technical revolution - simply by sending a text message to the AGA. The AGA can also be controlled via the web, so even if you have no phone signal you can use a wireless network to ensure the cooker is doing exactly what you want it to. The app can be downloaded from Apple's app store or the Android Marketplace. You will then be directed to a screen which mimics your cooker's control panel. This will show each of the ovens, as well as symbols for all ovens on and all zones off. You then simply use the touch-screen facility to select the option you require. A message will flash on the screen saying, for example, 'baking oven on activated'. You can also register on a dedicated website, which will allow you to control your AGA iTotal Control from a laptop, desktop PC or mobile device. The process from then on is exactly the same as when using the app Each AGA iTotal Control has a dedicated SIM card linked to a unique phone number. Once your cooker is installed, you should save this number into your phone. When you wish to operate it remotely, simply send by SMS text message one of the following commands:

• Roasting oven on
• Baking oven on
• Simmering oven on
• All ovens on
• All zones off

Once the text has been sent you will receive a reply saying, for example, 'roasting oven on activated'.

Will the Xperia Ion be the next Sony Ericsson flagship device?

Sony Ericsson has been a regular in the headlines in the last couple of days when it was reported that the manufacturer is getting ready to launch a new flagship device in the form of the LT28at. In addition to that, there have been leaks as well about the Sony Ericsson Nozomi, a handset that could very well be running for the flagship title as well.

Sad to say, we are currently lacking with details about the two handsets. In addition to that, it hasn’t been ascertained yet if the LT28at and the Nozomi are one and the same and not two distinct smartphones. What we can be certain of though is that there is a possibility that Sony Ericsson will release a device that will have the name “Xperia Ion”.

This development came up when the company reserved the Xperia Ion name via the USPTO and filed for a trademark with serial number 85493863 for the said model name. due to this, there is a fair chance that the handset that Sony Ericsson will be unveiling at CES 2012 could very well have this name for that matter.

If it turns out to be the Nozomi that gets the Xperia Ion branding, here are the details of its specs sheet to give you an idea of what the handset brings to the table.

The Nozomi will come with a circuitry based on the SnapDragon platform and this handset is expected to pack a QualComm Snapdrago chipset with an SoC architecture. This type of chipset will give the Nozomi a dual-core 1.5GHz Scorpion processor in addition to a dedicated Adreno 220 graphics processing unit.

The Nozomi is also expected to pack a full gigabyte of RAM and would be available in either 16GB or 32GB version when it comes to its storage capacity. It is also expected to show up with a massive 4.3-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display with a 1280 x 720 resolution and pixel density of 342 ppi. The display of the Nozomi is said to made of scratch-resistant glass while the shooters of the handset will be a rear-facing 12MP shooter and a front-facing video call camera. The rear unit of the Nozomi is said to be capable of capturing 1080p clips at 30fps.

When talking about the LT28at on the other hand, this device is said to be headed AT&T’s way once it becomes officially announced. Not much is known about the handset at this point but certain leaks point to the device as having a dual-core processor running at 1.5GHz. it also comes with a bigger 4.55-inch Reality Display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

In addition to that, the LT28at is also expected to come with LTE support in addition to the whopping 13-megapixel shooter that graces its back panel. The front shooter of the LT28at on the other hand is rumored to be capable of capturing 720p clips. All in all, Sony Ericsson is said to be breaking into the superphone category with the LT28at.

Whichever way the Xperia Ion name gets used, we are pretty sure that Sony Ericsson has got some rather exciting smartphones up its sleeve just waiting to be released. With that in mind, we just can’t wait for the company to make the announcements.

What Is The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion?

Will Sony (once dropping the Ericsson bit becomes final) be adding a model to its Xperia line of Androids called the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion? That's the latest theory going around, thanks to the discovery of the product name in a trademark filing with the USPTO. Just what might this hardware end up being?

What is Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion ?

For the moment, at least until we learn something else that helps to narrow-down the field any, the Xperia Ion is a potential name for any of the Sony Androids we've learned of being in development. We recently saw some pictures snapped by the thirteen-megapixel LT28at (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion), and its Bluetooth SIG paperwork claimed the phone would see a release in North America, presumably continuing the Xperia name. While nothing specifically ties it to the Ion, it's as good a possibility as any.

There's also the possibility that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion will be a new name for some hardware we've already heard identified, like the Nozomi. This seems like a less likely possibility than something like the LT28at (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion) taking the name, but it's still one to consider.

Nissan e-NV200, A 100% Electric Compact Van Review

Nissan announced that it will build the e-NV200 small electric van starting in 2013, which designed to be used both as a passenger vehicle and delivery van, the e-NV200 will be built in at Nissan’s plant in Barcelona, Spain, following a €100 million ($126 million) investment there. The e-NV200 provides the functional and roomy interior space with innovative and practical features of the NV200, combined with the all electric drive train powering the Nissan Leaf and the electric motor on the e-NV200 is the same power as the Leaf's, as is the battery pack capacity, this melding of the Leaf with a cargo/commercial van can be thought of as a Leaf that can haul stuff or people. The e-NV200 also recently won the Environmental Award in the 2012 Fleet World Honors program and because taxi or delivery van service could require long daily driving range, which may seem incompatible with today's electric vehicles, but in truth is not the limitation one would think.  Nissan says it's putting $126 million into producing the new model, but so far it's keeping mum on other details.

Nissan announced that a 100% electric compact van, the e-NV200, will go into production at its Barcelona plant in the 2013 Financial Year. The new model will be based on the existing award-winning NV200 currently produced at the plant and will be an important and innovative addition to Nissan's global range of light commercial vehicles (LCV's). e-NV200 will become Nissan's second all-electric vehicle (EV) following the launch of the multi-award winning Nissan LEAF in 2010, underlining Nissan's long-term commitment to zero emission mobility. The new model, which represents €100 million investment by Nissan in Spain, is expected to create around 700 new jobs at the plant and throughout its local supplier base. As the sole producer of e-NV200, Barcelona will supply world markets highlighting the growing competitiveness of Nissan's Spanish industrial operations. Last week a new medium duty truck was allocated to Nissan's Avila Plant in central Spain. e-NV200 will provide both businesses and families with functional and roomy interior space and will retain the host of innovative and practical features of the current NV200 line up combined with the most advanced powertrain components of the Nissan LEAF. This will deliver a driving range similar to the Nissan LEAF on a single charge and similar performance, together with best in class running and maintenance costs.

Andy Palmer, Nissan Executive Vice President, said: "e-NV200 represents a genuine breakthrough in commercial vehicles and further underlines Nissan's leadership within the electric vehicle segment. The new model will offer all the spaciousness, versatility and practicality of a traditionally powered compact van, but with zero CO2 emission at the point of use and also provide an outstanding driving experience that is unique to EV's. Crucially, it will also offer class-leading running and maintenance costs, which makes it an exceptionally attractive proposition to both businesses and families." e-NV200 will also make a significant contribution to Nissan's aim of becoming the world's largest LCV manufacturer by 2016 as a key pillar of the Nissan Power 88 mid-term plan. Last year Nissan achieved an historic milestone of selling more than one million LCV's worldwide in a single year. Andy Palmer added: "e-NV200 represents a bold and innovative addition to our commercial vehicle range, which is already one of the broadest of any manufacturer. I would like to thank the Spanish and Catalonian Government for their continued support of Nissan in Spain, and congratulate the Barcelona workforce for earning the right to produce what will be an extremely important model for Nissan globally." The current NV200 line up has already sold around 100,000 units. Its popularity led it to be chosen as the next generation New York City 'Taxi of Tomorrow' following a rigorous selection process. Currently, intensive evaluations of prototype NV200-based electric vehicles are being carried out in Europe. Trials will continue in coming months in order to provide real-world feedback from the most demanding usage. Feedback will help Nissan to fulfill exact customer requirements ahead of the start of production expected in FY13.
