Review: Dual-screen Kyocera smartphone needs work

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- From emailing to Web surfing to taking photos, a smartphone can be a multitasker's best friend - unless all the tasks are making the screen feel too small. Wouldn't it be nice to have a second screen?

The Kyocera Echo, a new Android smartphone sold by Sprint, brings that neat idea to life. Simply slide over the touch screen to reveal a second, identical one.

You can use the two screens independently - for example, respond to an email on the top screen by typing on the virtual keyboard that fills the bottom display.

SKorean search engines file Google complaints

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korea's top Internet search companies asked the country's antitrust regulator Friday to investigate Google Inc. over whether it restricts competition in the mobile search market.

NHN Corp., which operates the top Naver search portal, and No. 2 Daum Communications Corp. filed complaints with South Korea's Fair Trade Commission.

The companies claim that Google restricts competition through imposing restrictions on local mobile service providers and smartphone manufacturers that have adopted its Android operating system from pre-loading rival mobile services.

BlackBerry PlayBook to get 4G on Sprint,in summer

Blackberry Playbook. RIM confirmed that it would have a 4G-aware version of the BlackBerry PlayBook through Sprint. A version of the seven-inch tablet will be ship with built-in WiMAX to improve the download speeds of the dual-core tablet. The upgraded slate wouldn't ship until the summer, however.

The delay is a potential hit to RIM's competitiveness in the tablet space. Most of its competitors, including Apple's iPad, and Android tablets like the Motorola Xoom, already have 3G built-in to at least some models. Despite the lower price of Wi-Fi only versions, 3G tablets have often been the most popular with a mix for iPads rumored to be as high as two thirds in favor of the 3G edition.

In its current form, the Blackberry PlayBook is partly dependent on a BlackBerry, both to get a cellular Internet connection and to have complete access to contacts and e-mail.

Check detak jantung dengan mouse

Mouse yang bisa mendeteksi detak jantung, Ehm selama ini saya hanya mengetahui dan menggunakan mouse sebagai penunjuk navigasi di computer, ternyata kali ini mouse bisa befungsi untuk mengukur detak jantung. Asus Vito W1, keluaran Asus ini memiliki lima tombol yang bisa di program ke computer secara nirkabel(wireless). Saat di gunakan mouse ini akan mendeteksi denyut nadi pengguna dari sensor yang ada di bawah ibu jari. Bagi Anda yang bertangan kidal, mungkin mouse ini belum bisa bekerja untuk anda, karena sejauh ini saya belum menemukan informasi untuk yang bertangan kidal.

Saya fikir ini terubosan baru dari Asus, mungkin suatu saat saya bisa mendapatkan atau setidaknya mencoba mouse ini.
