Vodafone 360 H2: the operator will keep betting service, and LiMo
Vodafone 360 continues its way although it has suffered more criticism than praise, and of course it does with new terminals that reach the platform. The charge of manufacture is again Samsung, and it is precisely the best he had the operating system the phones were red, with technical specifications well above average.
The new terminal and it is calling the original name of Vodafone 360 H2, but is also known within the range of the Korean manufacturer as Samsung i8330. One feature to consider is who will be the third phone in having Super AMOLED screen (in my experience, unmatched), after Samsung and Wave Galaxy S.
as their older siblings, Vodafone H1 and M1 360, uses the operating system of the LiMo Foundation, based on Linux, and which seemed more dead than alive, but a few days ago we learned that three operators were part of Vodafone to launch handsets with him .
All other technical specifications of the device are really good, without specifying the particular chipset (Qualcomm MSM6290 "?), we report that has a 1GHz processor (Cortex A8), a camera 8 megapixels capable of recording high-definition video and Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity.
This Samsung H2 is expected to reach major Vodafone markets in June, and it is possible Verizon is considering a version with support for the U.S. CDMA networks.

As you can see in the video that begins the news, the Samsung phone shown compared with some heavyweights in category: Milestone, Xperia X10, Nexus One and iPhone.
The addition to the comparison video gives an overview on the outside of the phone, emphasizing the thinness of the set. Stresses on the other screen elements Super Grinding four inches from the unit, with better viewing angles than the average, and less reflective than the competition, it seems a point ahead when used outdoors. ( #)
On the negative side reminds us of the lack of flash but little else, to go to talk about Android 2.1 and Samsung personalization, based on seven desks and a number of widgets developed by the Korean company.
We will have occasion to meet the camera interface, with the ability to focus by touch, and the ability to record HD video in 720p format. Regarding the keyboard, a surprise find in series with Swype.

Samsung released the SDK for developers Bada
Samsung has released the first version of the SDK to Bada, the Bada SDK 1.0.0 beta 2. It seems that this tool is fairly complete developer tools for creating, simulator, debugger ...
do not exist yet Bada phones sold in the market but in February we saw in operation in the MWC10. The Samsung Wave, with Bada, should be sold this month in Europe. Recall that the Samsung Wave stands out for its super-screen 3.3-inch AMOLED and 1 GHz processor rumored that apart from the Wave, Samsung plans to launch several more phones with Bada and even a tablet.
The Bada SDK is available for registered developers from Samsung and is based programming in C and C + +. Also note that Bada includes support for Flash and facial recognition.
Samsung is aware that to succeed Bada first have to attract a good number of developers to create applications for these interesting. Anyway, it is clear that it will be hard to compete with applications platforms with more mature stores and thousands of applications like the iPhone or Android.

ARM processors are revealed that Samsung is preparing
Has unveiled the roadmap for future ARM-based processors being developed by Samsung, the funny thing is dated November 2009, but is unimportant and that such developments are planned well in advance.
We are in a practice news with little substance, but may be interesting to start talking to property when they arrive the first chips to market. But let's the interesting thing about the news, a list of names of Greek and Roman mythology that I share below:
Taurus (S5PV210): Cortex-A8 to 1GHz. We will see in the third quarter of this año.Mercury: Cortex-A5 (Sparrow) to 600MHz. By the end of 2010.Orion: Dual Core 800MHz Cortex-A9, software-compatible with Taurus, will be in production in the first quarter of 2011.Pegasus: Cortex-A9 1GHz. By the end of 2011.Hercules: Dual core Cortex-A9 1GHz. For the first quarter of 2012.Venus: Other Cortex-A5 but dual core is expected to be ready by the end of 2012 or early 2010.Draco: Cortex-A9 Dual Core 1.2-GHz. By late 2012 or early 2013.Aquila: Turning to Draco, will offer a quad-core Cortex-A9-1.2 GHz. By late 2012 or early 2013.
Little information about it, expect them to be used in operating systems like Android, Chrome or Ubuntu or even, as it is possible that Samsung is thinking about changing the ARM architecture by Intel in their netbooks.
Another debate may arise in thinking that these processors were paired GPUs, perhaps PowerVR?, or perhaps be more appropriate to use those designed by own company, promising GPUARM Mali.

Nokia, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba, are working in a high-definition output on mobile phones
A new consortium of most major companies in the world of electronics, such as Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and Silicon Image are working on a standard for connecting mobile phones or other portable devices to high definition screens.
The idea presented by the consortium MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is a single cable for audio and video, with little pins and small size not to compromise the concept of portability, and capable of transferring video at 1080 lines in progressive format.
Another feature of the standard is that the portable device that serve as a source, take the current receiver through the cable (like USB). For instance, a mobile phone can play a movie on a TV screen regardless of battery you have.
Also take into account the protection of digital content through the implementation of HDCP compliant, according to the source of the news, on the first physical design developed by Silicon Image, the connector is compatible with the USB standard, making it easier to produce than a mini HDMI.
