0 Phones, the market is picking

Consumption in crisis, but there are signs of improvement for 2010
Cellular market ripresaROMA

The economic crisis is being felt even in the TLC and the sale of phones and smartphones in 2009 the total market has nearly 50 million units less than in 2008 (-4%). A figure that compares with five years of positive trends as regards the volumes (+48%). However, there are signs of improvement for 2010.

These are the findings from research GfK Digital World, carried out by GfK Retail and technlogy and Cea (U.S. Consumer Electronics Authority), which provides analysis and forecasts market trends worldwide. The report integrates into a new global database of sales data from the sector Technical Consumer Equipment (consumer electronics, photography, computer telephony) from producers in the U.S. and from surveys carried out by GfK in over 400,000 stores worldwide.

Despite the fall of 2009, two important aspects should be highlighted: the second half of the year saw improved sales trends in the global telephony, accompanied by a renewed development of smartphones that have evolved from product typically business logic to consumer .

The Asian market for mobile phones and smartphones has reached 456 million units sold (+1%) which is equivalent in value to 47.5 billion euros (-8% compared to 2008). This growth in volume is due mainly to a recovery in sales in the last three months of the year (+7%, +9%, +16%) compared to the same months (October, November and December) of 2008. Furthermore, the excellent performance of smartphones have been awarded a three-digit growth during almost the whole of 2009 (the best month was December with an increase of 226% in value over the same month of 2008).

0 E-mail certified does not take off between professionals

Only among the notaries are acquired 100% of Pec activated. Soon boxes for all
Certified e-mail does not take off among professionistiROMA
The Certified e-mail (PEC) will not take off again a few categories of professionals. Struggling lawyers, journalists, as well as pharmacists and paramedics much. The worst performers are to hold their own medical radiology technicians, for now, seem to have followed the initiative of Minister Renato Brunetta, which became compulsory from 29 November for professionals. In contrast, a spire on top of this list are hypothetical notaries with even 100% of Pec activated. This follows from the last survey of the Department of Innovation and Technology of the Ministry of Public Administration carried out with the Cup, the European business unit.

It is true that the initiative is being implemented but are certainly low, or very low percentages of accreditation such as lawyers, only 6% of a total of 220,000 principles of the Forum scattered throughout Italy. Even agrotechnicians struggling with 7% and journalists, with 10% on 108,437 subscribers across Italy, including 22,600 professionals.

Even the nurses (12%), chemists (21%), pharmacists (22%) and accountants (23%) remain low on average, followed by land surveyors (24%), by geologists (25%) and surgeons (26%). And the engineers, usually sensitive to technology, are also back with only 30% of accessions. The consultants will work instead show up with almost 75%, as well as social workers (72%) and surveyors (66%). As for the more than 420mila doctors, fnom CEO, the National Federation orders surgeons and dentists, has no data for now as it has not yet been carried out a survey in individual provincial associations.

The reasons for such a low prevalence of Pec in the Internet age at the time, are varied. Since the Bar Council explained that the activation of the box depends primarily on individual lawyers because the different local orders, in principle, have provided this opportunity to their students or through their domains with both the Italian Internet service providers that provide this service to orders with various ad hoc competitions between accredited by DigitPa (ex Cnipa). Even the Bar Council has given the opportunity.

Contrasts with the situation which is common, for example, medical radiology technicians to most journalists. From the National Federation of Technical X-Ray, at the bottom of the table, comes the message of the need for a physiological time for entry to the scheme since each provincial colleges have not yet done so to activate the service to the 22,000 subscribers to 'roll to which those technicians in medical laboratories, especially public facilities, undertake the management of machines.

For journalists, then the argument is similar: several regional orders are now in default, or the reporter was told that you still can apply for accreditation, in particular this happens for all members of the order of Lazio, which is an audience of over 20 thousand journalists representing 22% of the total, and for journalists of Campania, Calabria, Molise, Piedmont and Sicily.

The inbox certified, which will soon be free to all citizens who request it and that can only be used for dialogue between government and citizens, is a valuable business tool for professionals. With the digital signature and send these people can attest documents by e-mail in real time. Think of the savings with acknowledgment of receipt at the counters of the post, a simplification that is part of the design of dematerialization of bureaucracy in the plans and Gov2012-and I-2012. But for lawyers, accountants, pharmacists and many others, the activation is not exactly at zero cost with each order that may set the annual fee, although in most cases the figure is symbolic, 2-3 per year.

Currently there are no sanctions for those who does not fit but I am arriving on the new provisions, once fully implemented, will have even those who do not will be excluded from certain procedures automatically, some As now to applications for recognition of 'disability, the first of January, can only be sent electronically to INPS or for communications in order to obtain concessions for small-scale renovation of houses and the installation of energy saving, which is not were completed within the year, staff of the Revenue.

0 iPad, revolution in mid

Bello is also beautiful, it is certainly technically gifted. But it is enough to disrupt a market of millions of pieces such as the netbook? The new iPad, shown by Steve Jobs in shape (but still thin) to the public of Journalism Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, the intent of Apple should do what they do today, the small 10-inch laptop, but better: if will really be able to make a difference is still early to tell, certainly in Cupertino have decided to tackle a risky bet.

Apple iPad What is a tablet according to Apple: is used to browse, check your email, looking at photos, listen to music and read books or magazines. Also playing. The 9.7-inch screen (1024x768, 132 ppi), multitouch, looks bright and effective for this purpose: sure, the choice of using an LCD has its advantages and disadvantages, namely the IPS technology to improve contrast and viewing angle against a battery life of just 10 hours. Sufficient autonomy to compete with most netbook around, but that pales before that of several days afforded by the various screens and-ink e-reader on the road: It is good to remember that the main advantage of LCDs, namely the colors, is destined to dwindle by the end of 2010 with the release of the first color e-reader
All this is sustained by a system-on-a-chip (SoC) ARM 1GHz (called A4) designed by Apple and realized through the skills of the PA Semi acquired long ago. The operating system the device is the same iPhone OS, updated to release 3.2, running on the iPhone, a move also to ensure the compatibility of the more than 140 thousand applications already nell'App Store, but that cuts the legs all aspirations for Flash on the platform. During the demo of Jobs on stage, the familiar icon of the plugin is missing from the screen was the terminus of iPad, and this restriction does not seem destined to disappear soon, at least to understand what has been possible up to this point.
On the option, in the words of Jobs, there are the usual suspects: WiFi, Blutooth, optional 3G (which possibly carries the A-GPS), speaker, microphone, 30-pin connector like the iPod, which came 3 , 5mm standard headphones, accelerometer and compass. Absent (unwarranted?): Camera, USB. A side note, we would point out that Apple iPad meets all its environmental commitment in terms of flame retardants, arsenic-free glass, no mercury and high recyclability. Prices (this is a surprise) from $ 499 for the 16GB version, go up to 599 for the 32 and 699 for the 64GB and if you want 3G you will have to pay, from April, respectively, 629, 729 and 829 dollars.
What is missing really iPad, however, has a purpose. It makes the phone, the 3G connection is present (there are attractive offers for the U.S., Europe will need to wait for the spring) but does not serve that purpose. It is not a computer, although Apple has made a new release of iWork made for his tablet and a dock with keyboard (alternative to touch screen) fits the same OS of the iPhone is "condemned" in the category of smartphones, with all the advantages and limitations that this imposes. You can forget multitasking, you can forget the Finder in Mac OSX: no folders in which to store documents, iPad is a kind of cross between the iPhone and iPod Touch devices, and therefore an essentially "closed."
Another mystery is the format chosen for the book sale: Apple, as usual, decides to go it alone and create a new app for the purpose, called the iBook Store. Connecting style iTunes Store, you choose what to read, you can buy and there, this is reflected in its virtual shelf. Mystery about what will happen if you want to lend a book to a friend, or if these titles are interoperable with other platforms: let the user is in possession of a library in epub format, regularly experience or from the public domain, what will if he decides to jump on board iPad? Mystery also on which and how many books will be available for iPad, and what are the costs: it lacks clear guidance on the possible price range for paperback and hardcover, and obviously we will have to wait for the launch localized nation by nation to know which publishers have chosen to enter the Apple team.
Speech in hand, we must do so for applications: Scott Forstall, took the stage, shows that all there is in circulation in the App Store at the time it works all right on iPad. But, and here come the problems, those who wish can update your SDK and start developing (or adapting) for the new device: therefore, after having begun to distinguish between the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch original, and finally 3GS new and second-generation Touch, shoppers will start to make an application also attention to the compatibility of your device with the software you intend to buy.

0 GPS navigation working better farmers and snowplow

They are called G6 Farmnavigator and professional surfers will line up Europe with the other countries on the front of the Agriculture and shoveling snow smart. The devices, signed AvMap are made in partnership with Satconsystem - producer of software for GPS-assisted agriculture - and are currently available on the market. 100% European alliance that will combine resources and strengths of both companies to create professional solutions for agriculture at highly competitive prices.
The application of GPS technology in the service field and shoveling snow is one of the last frontiers and AvMap, which always puts its know-how of specific cartographic service, decided to ride the wave.
Two models are available: G6 Farmnavigator - the entry level model in the range - and G6 Connect Farmnavigator - the linked version, equipped with GPRS to transmit data and information in real time the company principal. The new GPS is now the most comprehensive on the market and offer functions: navigation Agricola, Navigation Road, Phone Triband GSM, Breath, Multimedia Player.
Both products are positioned next to the steering wheel and in a short time are able to map an area by calculating the perimeter and area, record the data processing and improve operations by specifying the exact path to follow and ensuring the same treatment to the entire area, without overlapping. The family G6 allows you to suspend work and resume at any time without the risk of dispersing time and money.
With new professional AvMap navigators can in fact create a database of work areas, including all data - such as perimeter and area, work space or dash, hurdles, timing, DOP maximum speed - and you can export them to a format compatible with Google Maps (TM).
Designed specifically for municipalities, farmers, producers and users of vehicles for shoveling snow and / or agricultural vehicles, family G6 Farmnavigator offers significant competitive advantages in the management of labor.
In the agricultural sector: it is estimated that by using the GPS system can be reduced by 10/12% the cost of fertilizers and pesticides. For who plows, seed, fertilize the fields is very easy to hit and fertilize or treat twice on the same stretch, or omit entirely certain areas.
In the service of shoveling snow, it is also useful because in case of snow the municipality or service company that won the tender are responsible for the proper functioning of the road network and can be called at any time of the night to clean the streets if a crossing should not have been cleaned within the scheduled time and an accident happen, the municipality would be responsible.
The costs are 875 euros for Farmnavigator and 1100 euros for 6 Connect Farmnavigator.

0 CTEK: Four letters to say enough to empty battery

There are many ways to make your life easier and one of them is called Multi Ctek MXS 4003. Having said this could be anything: a new type of Viagra, miracle diets, a fragrance that charms those who sniffs, a method based on relaxing yoga or why not a credit card that is recharged using it. None of this even if something got to do with charging. CTEK is a battery charger but not the phone or PC, and a charger for the car.
But as someone might say-the-car battery recharges going! True, but it is also true that you download him, standing firm and especially with the cold. Let's take a practical example. Those living in cities often throughout the week using scooters or motorcycles to work and the car stands still in box. Comes w.e. but bad weather and the car moves. After two weeks at last a sunny Saturday. The whole family is ready to go out of town. Then down in the garage but the car will not start: battery. Was it the cold or the burglar entered that absorbs energy?
A story more often than one would think, and above all really annoying. Very little is needed to play the only day off but to be forced to spend hundreds of dollars because the car battery must be replaced because of too many times you are allowed to download.
The solution comes precisely from a small technological device that in its simplicity of use has many functions. Basically it is a charger or sticks on one side to an electrical outlet (a necessary condition for the operation) and for the car battery. Of equipment so there are many, but have different problems: in some cases even necessary to control them with a timer in his hand like you do when you add the pasta, the likelihood is that surpassed the charging time will continue to send the current burning the battery. In other cases, to charge the battery you need to disassemble half the car and get their hands dirty. Not all batteries are in fact the positive and negative easily accessible.
CTEK Multi MXS 4003 is completely different. First in the box are two links to be connected permanently to the poles of the car, this ring is connected to a wire that ends in a jack that is so close at hand.
In practice the apparatus has in turn a jack that fits perfectly into that attaches to the battery.It on the site if you want you can buy additional jack to be placed on all cars in the family. Also has four separate programs one of which is able to bring batteries deep and partially sulfated to new levels of operation. It can work outdoors in all conditions and is resistant to dust and spray water-is approved according to IP65 standard. "
But how does it work in practice? Unlike conventional linear chargers energy they produce is absolutely stable in the tension and intensity, silently and without causing any electromagnetic interference. The extreme cleanliness of the current also has a beneficial effect on the batteries, their useful life is considerably longer and after a few cycles of charging the batteries "tired" generally show an increase in capacity. The charge profile at constant current / constant voltage allows you to reload at the same time CTEK battery capacity almost triple compared to a conventional product of equal power, while the development of gas is so low that no longer need to remove the battery caps . The way pulse maintenance is specifically designed for those who need to keep the charger connected for long periods of time. A special electronic circuit will send short pulses when the battery drops below 12.9 V, with negligible leakage and keeping the battery constantly between 95 and 100% capacity. This allows for the battery to 100% in case of frequent use and to be able to leave otherwise connected in case of prolonged rest. This innovative program is unique CTEK covered by international patents. With the "Recondo" present models MXS 4003, MXS 7000, MXT 4000, MXS 25000 to MXT 14000 is able to recover even partially sulphated batteries, thanks to a carefully controlled charging with overvoltage. All models are protected against reverse polarity, short circuit and overtemperature not produce sparks when connecting and can charge lead-acid batteries of any type, including AGM and Gel. Finally it must be said that once lit the Ctek you can indicate if you intend to recharge the battery of a car or that of a motorcycle.

0 E-Book: iPad incompatible with other readers, Amazon sells at Macmillan

Electronic books are not Apple can transfer to a new device. The online retailer wanted to accept the price increase from the publisher

On paper, the output dell'iPad Apple could be a turning point for the market for digital books. In fact, according to analysts, the approach used by the Cupertino company is likely to cause confusion among readers. Dell'iPad software is fundamentally different from other digital music players, and then e-books purchased for devices like the Kindle are not compatible with the new Apple product.

The iPad's books can be purchased only on Apple's online store, which will run in a couple of months. These books, however, can not be transferred to the Kindle or other electronic readers on the most popular. It will be like being forced to buy a new CD collection every time you change the stereo. These restrictions, according to analysts, could damage the growth of the market for digital books.

There will be "surprises rather painful" for consumers when they seek to transfer their e-books on a new device, said Nick Bogaty, executive of the online publishing division of Adobe Systems, which provides one of the most widely used software for electronic readers.

So far, the industry is divided into two main camps. Electronic books sold by Amazon and the Kindle can only run on software developed by the company, which can be installed for free on PC and mobile multimedia. The rest of the industry, including Sony, Barnes & Noble, and the public library, using the software from Adobe. With the release of Apple dell'iPad, then you create a third option.

And if the challenge on e-books between Apple and Amazon has just begun, but has now signed for imported standoff between the company of Seattle and the Macmillan publishing house that won the day in order to raise prices electronic books sold on Amazon's Kindle. It's the same Amazon that announces its yield, explaining that the Macmillan wants to charge between 12.99 and $ 14.99 versions of its e-book bestseller and its novelty, for the most part of which the price is now of $ 9.99. While expressing strong disagreement with the new pricing, Amazon is compelled to surrender to the monopoly of the editor on some titles.

0 The Apple iPad of Steve Jobs and the murder of Kindle

Well, I do not exclude the importance of this new object, but I would like to approach this device came from the mind of Steve Jobs, in a way completely different than the sugary reviews I found online, beginning with a question. But the purpose for which it was created is clear to everyone? And Kindle, how?

The affordance
Certainly the more experienced, the iPad may seem full of limitations. There's no camera, there is the micro SD card slot, no Adobe Flash technology. So what, an iPhone with the syndrome of gigantism? But here the affordance concept developed by Gibson in 1979 immediately comes to mind.

The affordance is a resource that the environment "offers" to a person able to grasp it: well when you look at this new object of Cupertino home we suffered the distinct impression that is made for something special, and perhaps for that alone. And 'in fact, probably the best device on the market for those who love reading and totally kill the Amazon Kindle in three moves.

1. The contents are changing, and where is Kindle?
In the U.S., Kindle has made incredible progress in the digital book market, rather than helping, requiring to push the limits for a digital reading and acceptance of these technologies, the iPad is a breakthrough for e-marketplaces and reading e-books. We now we have become accustomed to internet users a way to "consume" content online, viewing pictures, watching videos and at the same time adding our comments, etc. ... all in less than nothing.

Take nytimes.com, (to name just a coincidence) the first page is completely embedded with titles that are updated continuously, presentations that change at will, user comments, links to other sources, full of videos , photos, photostory, documentaries and journalistic reportage.

Limitations Kindle not support any of these new methods of storytelling, and the device will suffer the consequences. I am not suggesting that we need to add videos to prorpio read the books, but I think a device that does not offer different types of content can only reach a small market segmented (always bearing in mind its affordance).

2. Kindle not technology is evolving quickly enough.
Yes, it's true that Amazon has taken up to 46 developers for its new Kindle (see img), but the team could at least make some changes to the device. As many know the buttons on the keyboard are essentially a distraction when reading and a waste of space on a device that could shrink the size of the screen. The color grigino / greenish, like an old Palm, the screen is not very comforting to read, it would be worth a fully interactive display and colorful, but here we would need a whole new operating system.

3. Kindle is too expensive for a single purpose device
Kindle currently costs $ 489. With an extra $ 10 you can purchase an iPad or surf the Web, watch movies, do some 'work in iWork and send e-mail.

At this point you say, Well of course, Apple is out once again, but be careful, we must take into account an important factor.

At present, Amazon has two roads that can choose. One would be to completely redo the Kindle, with the addition of more functionality, speed it up, add the touch srceen, color, a web browser and a new user interface.

The second option would be to offer the device at a dirt cheap prices, making some small adjustment to a very low cost. A man caught a good man, will have second thoughts or at least difficult to justify the $ 500 dell'iPad, when for $ 100 can find a new device that replaces its Kindle books.

Kindle Store
Recall that Amazon has much more experience and understands the market of e-book and the strategies to use. In this regard I believe that will not miss the opportunity to sell his books sull'iPad Apple rather than to keep his head down on his, now old century, Kindle.

Note well
I have dealt with the speech function to read a digital book instead of paper, but do not want it to be taken as established, some have already written extensively on this topic but it often confuses the press, newspapers or newspapers "Newsagents" compared to books and tomes. I believe there is much difference in reading. The next.
