Scientists in Britain have announced that they have developed a small device that can diagnose different types of fatal diseases within minutes of use. The handheld device analyzes a sample of a patient’s urine, saliva, or blood, and can detect diseases if they are present. The medical gadget is officially named the CliniHub.

The patient’s samples can be placed in several ‘ports’ on the device, where chemicals can change colour if a disease is detected. An obvious comparison is the pregnancy test, which uses a similar colour-changing system.

Cambridge Consultants as well as Xenbio Fluidics, both from the state of California, developed the device. According to Patrick Pordage, a spokesperson for Cambridge Consultants, the invention of the device could be “the future” of detecting and diagnosing fatal diseases. He said that if doctors are able to analyze diseases in patients more quickly, they will be able to treat them more effectively and save even more lives.

The CliniHub will likely have a price under $100, and three fatal diseases can currently be detected by the device. Namely, MRSA, breast cancer, and another unrevealed disease can all be analyzed and detected by the medical device.

Soon, however, over 20 diseases will be able to be detected, and more GP surgeries will be able to make use of the product, according to its developers. And in the future, a version that consumers will be able to use at home may be developed. The CliniHub, while still in a primitive stage, could make big waves in the medical world in the future.

Sony’s KDL-32EX403 is one of the more basic TVs in Sony’s catalogue. That being said, it could be a great purchase for those looking for an inexpensive TV with a sleek design and a wide variety of features. The model, a 32-inch Bravia, currently goes for 470 to 549 pounds. It was released by Sony earlier this year.

The TV has a great resolution of 1920 x 1080. This means that you will get excellent picture with full high-definition, without having to shell out a ton of money for a more expensive TV. There is a fantastic feature on the TV that is called “True Cinema”. This plays video at just 24 frames per second, giving any type of video a real cinema feel. Sports or video games are a different experience with this feature, and it is rarely found on TVs in this price range.

The KDL-32EX403 has an ambient sensor that is built in to the TV. This is extremely useful as it can detect the lighting in the room that the TV is in and adjust the levels of contrast to allow for the best looking picture. The Bravia Engine 3 that is also included can optimize the colour levels of the TV to give you a fantastic viewing experience.

There are several connectivity features, as well as an Internet TV feature and a great surround sound ability. The KDL-32EX403 also contains power saving settings, making this a great inexpensive and environmentally friendly model.

For many parents, separation anxiety can be a problem when their children go to school in the day. When children go off to school for the first time, it can be sad for some parents to not have their children with them throughout the day.

On many mornings, as lunches are made and bags are packed, parents can experience this separation anxiety, especially for those with children who have not gone to school before.

Some parents wish that they could talk to their children throughout the day, or even leave them with a simple message. Many mothers and fathers feel the same way, and even more so if their children are entering their first year of school.

Sheila Wright, a parent from Bloomfield Hills, has experienced this first-hand, stating that leaving their kids was a “tug on the heartstrings”. She would often leave notes in her children’s lunch boxes, but one morning, she decided to go even further by creating the Talkatoo.
The Talkatoo is a small device that will allow parents with separation anxiety to record a message of up to 30 seconds for their children. Children can listen to the message throughout the day, and the message can be erased and recorded over at any time. Psychologists have praised the device, saying that it is a good alternative to a lunch box note, which can be positive for parents who are concerned about being separated with their child. However, if severe cases of separation anxiety occur, parents should look to receive help from a counselor or a teacher.

Apple has refused to allow their iPhones to be part of the first UK ranking scheme for mobiles.  The scheme assigns mobile phones a ranking between zero and five based on their affect on the environment during manufacturing and production.

O2 is responsible for launching the new rating system and many major mobile manufacturers including Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Nokia have agreed to take part.  According to O2, 93% of the mobiles available on the open market fall under coverage.

Each mobile is assigned a value based on the impact of their raw materials on the environment, packaging, their long term potential, the manufacturing process, their potential to recycle, and energy efficiency.

A spokeswoman for Apple declined to explain why the company will not participate in the new labelling scheme, but did mention that the company reported its environmental aspects online.

Other leading mobile manufacturers such as Nokia also publish reports online about their environmental factors and have still agreed to take place in the ranking scheme.

Next year, RIM, which produces the BlackBerry has also agreed to join into the scheme.

IT Sector analyst for Greenpeace International, Gary Cook, stated that transparency has also been a key issue for any consumer electronic company because they often believe that too much information will tip off their competitors.  He added that Apple is also known to lag behind other companies in transparency but added that lately they have taken steps to take toxic chemicals out of their products.

Both the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S smartphones are competing for control of the Android-powered market. They are perhaps the most popular Android devices that can be found on the market today. Interestingly, we have a case of two phones with the same OS competing against each other. Here is a detailed look at each of the two phones to see which one is better for consumers. The HTC desire ships with Android 2.2 and users currently on a variety of networks can upgrade their phones to the newest version if they own the phone. The Samsung Galaxy S however will not be getting Android 2.2 until September. In terms of the two phones’ interface, HTC has made a fantastic UI with the HTC Sense. It looks very attractive and there is a great selection of widgets and detail. On the other hand, Samsung offers its customized TouchWiz 3.0 skin for the Android OS. It has some neat features and overall it is quite attractive and useful. Samsung’s phone also has four hotkeys that are at the bottom of its screen. This is similar to the iPhone, and unfortunately, the HTC Sense UI does not have this. TouchWiz 3.0 definitely works as a decent UI. However, compared to the HTC Sense, it is somewhat lacking in features and attractiveness. In the future, it is hard to say which phone will come out victorious, especially if Samsung is able to improve their interface. Either way, however, you will be getting a great product.

New research from Wales discovered that more homes in the country have only mobile phones compared to other regions of the UK.

However, instead of perceiving this as a sign that Wales may be slowly becoming a digital nation, study analysts instead perceive it as a sign that people that live in deprived homes prefer the pay as you go mobile option over facing a regular landline charge.

The UK average for mobile only homes is 14%, while in Wales the average of mobile only homes is 19% according to an Ofcom Communications Market Report.

Ofcom representative, Rhodri Williams, stated that while there are many middle class people who decide that it is time to choose either a mobile of a landline and choose the mobile, but majorities of the people in Wales who choose mobile only are low income.

Communications Consumer Panel member Kim Brook stated that there is still a lot of work that needs completed before the UK can be classified as a broadband nation.  She added that many people in Wales are still missing out on the economic and social benefits that can be gleamed from an online presence due to the fact they have limited access to regular broadband services.

South African scientists have figured out a way to purify water simply by using a sachet that is shaped like a tea bag.  This sachet however is not intended to flavour the water, but instead to filter out bacteria, absorb toxins, and ultimately clean the water.

The bag easily slides into the neck of a water bottle and was created by scientists at the South Africa Stellenbosch University in order to aid communities that do not have water purification facilities to protect them from impure water and bacteria.

The bags are made out of the same material that tea bags are, but instead of tea materials the bags contain antimicrobial fibres that are not visible to the eye that are able to filter out microbes and contaminants.  The bags also contain granules of activated carbon that destroy bacteria.   Each nano-fiber is about 1% of a human hair in width.

Marelize Botes, one of the researchers on the project, stated that one sachet has the potential to clean out a litre of water and make it practically the same quality as a bottle of water.

Each bag is only good for one use, after which it should be thrown away and a new bag should be placed into the water bottle.  The bags are biodegradable and only take three to four days to disintegrate and the materials packed into the bags are non-toxic.

The South African Bureau of Standards is still testing the filter, but early testing by the research team was successful.

Pictures are beginning to circulate around the web of the new Samsung Galaxy Player which is rumoured to be the Korean company’s response to the iPod touch media player.

The new Galaxy which has been assigned the model number of YP-MB2 is said to be shaped much like the Galaxy S its parent mobile model.

This is fitting given the fact that the Galaxy S mobile is one of the best on the mobile market for playing media files so it is perfectly sensible that Samsung would choose to extend it into a full-fledged personal media playing device.

Thus, it is only reasonable to assume that the key aspects of the mobile will be part of the Player as well such as the 1GHz processor, 4 inch Super AMOLED screen, Android OS, and full Wi-FI connectivity.

The main differences will be the fact that camera is only going to be a 3MP instead of Samsung’s standard 5MP or 8MP cameras and the back of the mobile is going to come in white instead of black.

Not out until next year, however NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe kicks the tyres, lights the fires and makes its peace with terra firma for the announcement of ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON, coming 2011 to Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3. Never before has aerial combat been so fast, so in-your-face and so vicious. It’s time to set the sky on fire. And we have a sneak preview for you.

The demanding Project Aces development team at NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. in Japan weren’t satisfied. They wanted more from the series. They wanted planes that tore apart limb from limb right in front of your face, spewing their oil lifeblood across the sky. They wanted to scrape the streets and dodge the steel skyscrapers of real world cities at blistering speeds, in an enthralling war drama that spanned the globe with a web of intrigue. They wanted players to pick up the controller and become deadly combat pilots in seconds, pulling off breathtaking kills at impossible speeds, and doing battle online in a multiplayer sky littered with fiery supersonic debris. What they wanted was steel carnage in the sky.

The result is not a sequel in the multi-million selling smash hit ACE COMBAT series, but a complete rebirth, a phoenix from the ashes flying at three times the speed of sound. The Project Aces team is building ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON from the ground up, with new technology fuelling their passionately realised vision of a game that puts players in the dark heart of the fight like no aerial combat game has done before.

“For us, this is a rebirth of the Ace Combat series, and a chance for us to take the series in a completely new direction,” said Kazutoki Kono, Producer at Project Aces, NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. “We’re confident that we’re going to create a new kind of action shooting (high-speed and destruction) experience with ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON, and we’re pouring passion, vision and skill into making a game like no other. We want to bring players closer than ever to the action so they feel the energy surge through them with every shot fired.”

ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 is scheduled to launch across EMEA and Asia Pacific in 2011.

Earlier reports have already hinted at colour options for upcoming models of the Kindle, but the company still claims that the invention of a colour Kindle is still a long way away.  The Kindle was the first attempt by Amazon to get into the hardware market, and it turned out to be a great leap given it has the largest share of the eBook market, is still a top selling device, and has helped Amazon launch a book revolution.

The question is that if Amazon could do it once, what is stopping them from trying to do it again.  Many people including employees of Amazon are now asking that very question with rumours that product under wraps in the Amazon lab is not a Kindle but something that has similar aspects to the Kindle.

While it is known that a colour version of the Kindle is in the works in the lab, there is a rumour that Amazon may be working no other prototype gadgets as well.

Other sources believe that researchers in the lab are looking at gadgets that could sell well on the market with one source saying that the new product is a ‘means to an end.’  Thus, Amazon may be hard at work that would make getting content over the digital network much easier.  Other rumours are that Amazon thought about creating a cell phone or a music player but decided the market is already too competitive for successful entry.

Since smartphones have hit the UK market, Brits have taken to them like ducks to water. We love everything about them, from their stylish looks to their impressive functionality, and the gadget-loving public have snapped them up in no time at all. Each time a new smartphone is released and hits shelves up and down the country the demand for it is greater than ever before. This has been no different since Samsung released its latest smartphone offering.

The Korean technology experts have an impressive range of smartphones currently on the market that can compete admirably with any other smartphone in terms of features and functionality. Samsung’s smartphones are of undeniable quality and ooze style, while backing that up with plenty of substance. With the options available to customers, choosing the right smartphone for you can be a daunting experience, but it’s well worth looking at one of the big players in more detail.

The Samsung Galaxy S looks the part, but that’s only the start of the plus points. The phone packs plenty of top-end technology, and with bags of widgets to choose from, you can perform plenty of tasks with ease. Staying connected with the your friends and the world around you has never been easier, so wherever you are you can keep right up to date with all the latest news and events.

The first thing that will strike you about the Galaxy S is the aesthetics of the phone. This sleek, little black number has a slim chassis and weighs in at just 118g. The curved back forms an important part of the phone’s recognisable design and helps the smartphone to fit in the palm of your hand like a dream. When you do get hold of the Galaxy S, what can you expect to be able to do with this little beauty?

When you first see the Galaxy S you won’t fail to notice the huge screen that the mobile boasts. The large 4.0 in Super AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen makes the Galaxy S the perfect gadget with which to watch video and display photos. The display has 80 per cent less reflection, allowing you to see your favourite content clearly, wherever you are, even if Britain is enjoying one of its rare sunny days!

The superb screen is arguably the greatest feature of the Samsung Galaxy S, but a smartphone is always regarded in terms of the tasks it can perform. Thanks to the large touchscreen, navigation around the phone’s menus is a piece of cake and thus the smartphone scores highly in everyday usage. Long gone are the days of fiddly navigation, instead now smartphone users can enjoy usability that will bring a smile to their face.

Another feature of the Galaxy S is the 1GHz processor the phone possesses. This means that you can enjoy the content you can access without experiencing jerky video, or slow navigation for instance. When you couple this with 16GB of internal memory, you can store plenty of goodies on your mobile and access them when you really need to, whether that’s on a long train journey or an afternoon in the park.

Also known as the Samsung i9000, the Galaxy S is second to none in terms of picture quality. You can even record in HD and then play your footage on your TV using your smartphone as a nifty little remote. Being able to transfer your content between devices is an area in which this mobile thrives as well, as with AllShare you can share all of your content across your Samsung DNLA devices and access your digital library on any of your devices.

As an Android phone, you can access a whole range of different applications and therefore use your mobile to complete a range of different tasks. If you enjoy nothing more than settling down with a gripping book, then the Aldiko ebook feature will allow you to do just that. With a number of different Android apps for you to choose from, you won’t want to limit yourself to just one, though. If you fancy a more exhilarating experience on your smartphone you can source gaming content and fill a couple of spare minutes with a thrilling game.

One of the stand-out features of the Galaxy S is the Samsung Around Me augmented reality feature. This gives users real-time digital information and identifies points of interest in your current location, including whether the cafe across the road has received positive reviews and the transport options available to you. This is incredibly useful when you’re visiting towns and cities you haven’t been to before, and helps you explore places like a local simply by pointing your camera around.

Getting to places you want to go can be hard enough, but you can use your i9000 as a satellite navigation system to prevent you from getting lost on Britain’s roads. The Turn-by-Turn navigation system automatically comes to the fore when you place the smartphone in its car cradle. Using data provided by Google Maps, your mobile really can be your co-pilot and with a choice of three different views, you can make sure that you never get lost again!

You may well be in your car heading to a business meeting. If so, then the Galaxy S is also perfect for business users, with the ThinkFree Office mobile feature allowing you to read and edit an important document. The Android version of this application enables you to edit saved documents on the go and even add images, so whether you want to adjust an Excel spreadsheet or a Powerpoint presentation, both can be done with ease.

With the wealth of smartphones available to mobile users, each handset is battling with its competitors for smartphone supremacy. The Samsung Galaxy S has definitely demanded that people stand up and take notice of it, with the abundance of features the device boasts more than stating its smartphone credentials.

The Desire handset by HTC likely will be released in an updated model come October according to many sources in the technology world.

The HTC Desire is often thought of as the closest competition that the Android has produced to the Apple iPhone, and while the new model will not have a better processor, it will have the newest version of the Android Operating System, 2.2, and a better camera capable of capturing at speeds of 8mp instead of 5mp.

The new HTC Desire also is said to be larger with a touchscreen that is 4.3” over the current model’s 3.7” screen.  In addition, it will have HD video playback capabilities and a 720p capable of camera.

While the video mechanisms, known as the Ace, are said to be the largest design change, the new handset will also have a new design that is described as the offspring of breeding the Legend, Evo, and Desire which will result in a ‘unibody’ casing that is made out of simple aluminium.

Mobiles with the Google Android operating system are finally starting to get an edge over the iPhone with recent sales data from the United States suggesting that Android has now captured 27% of the market over Apples 23%.

A senior Apple executive left the company in response to a backlash of problems with the iPhone 4, which he was supposedly responsible for during developmental stages. Mark Papermaster, is the former Vice President for Mobile Devices of Apple and officially left the company on Saturday.

Papermaster took the position at Apple from IBM a mere 15 months ago but did not publicly comment on his swift and sudden departure.

Despite speculation that it was due to the problems associated with the iPhone 3 such as the colour limitations and reception problems, Papermaster was not directly involved in any of the promotions of for the mobile or even notified of the press conference held by Steve Jobs to address the problems.

Sources close to Apple painted a very different picture, stating that Papermaster had fallen out of favour with Jobs quite a few weeks ago and was simply told to move on in a matter unrelated to the actual performance of the iPhone4.

Papermaster was hired back when Jobs was in recovery after a liver transplants and many insiders think that once Jobs returned to his post the pair were not able to work together in an effective and cohesive manner.

Apple refused to comment on the matter although it did release that Bob Mansfield, the Apple Senior Vice President of computer engineering will be taking over the role of Papermaster.

It is common to purchase insurance for your family, health, and car, but now there is a new type of insurance on the table that may soon be just as common, mobile phone insurance.  Mobile insurance is a great idea given that it protects the most popularly used device in most people’s hands from damage.

While you may feel as if your mobile is safe, you should not be too confident about security when it comes to your phone because the nature of an accident is that you cannot predict it.  For example, getting trapped in one heavy downfall at the wrong time is all it takes to ruin some of the functions on your mobile.

The UK market has plenty of options for those looking into mobile phone insurance given there are many electronics retailers and dealers that are able to offer great prices on mobile insurance.  Some even often free gifts along with their insurance policies such as kitchen ware, a gaming console, or a laptop.

Most mobile insurance plans only last for a limited period of time so it is important to pay attention to the terms of the contract when you choose a mobile insurance.  Once a contract expires you need to quickly buy another policy or else something could happen to your mobile that could make owning a policy useless.  Keep in the side of your mind that if something were to happen to your mobile the best choice is to recycle it because it’s the environmentally responsible choice.

Widget UK Ltd has announced a new navigation device for those that travel on two-wheelers, the TomTom Urban Rider.

Sales Director of Widget, Bart Hoornthe, stated that the company decided that as the first distributor of Tom Tom’s in the UK it is now time that they bring Tom Tom’s to the market that will help those who ride on two-wheelers.  He continued to say that by adding the Urban Rider to its collection now they can complete the full range of products available from Tom Tom.

The Urban Rider comes with a simple interface, is glove friendly, and offers an intuitive touch screen so that riders can enjoy all the best features of a typical personal navigation device while on their bikes.  Included in the package are IQ Routes and advanced lane guidance for the low package price of £249.

The standout difference in the model is the menu, which is simplified down and only offers the options ‘browse map’ and ‘navigate to’ which allows users to quickly utilize the device while driving without any extra hassle or distraction.  Additionally, in order to keep the screen glove friendly both icons are much larger than in standard automobile Tom Tom’s.

The advanced lane guidance also offers motorists’ additional safety since it shows a 3D picture of each upcoming junction so that riders can stay safe and relaxed as they navigate roadways.

Additionally, the MapShare Technology built into the device allows customers to update the maps free of charge.

HTC is known for creating and manufacturing high end mobiles that are great for businesses, and the HTC Tattoo Blue is no different.  With plenty of extra features that help individualize each user’s mobile experience, the Tattoo Blue is set to make an impact on the mobile market.

Built into the new mobile is a 2.8 inch TFT LCD touch screen that allows for a 240 x 320 resolution and 65k colours.  There is also an accompanying accelerometer sensor that allows the mobile to auto-rotate so that the screen automatically switches between landscape and portrait depending on the needs of an application.  Another exclusive is the Sense user interface that allows for quick profile switching and display interface switching.

The HTC mobile model comes encased with total dimensions that measure 10.6 x 5.52 xx 1.4cm with a total weight of 113g which makes it small enough to easily enough slip into a coat jacket.

The powerful mobile is built to work pretty much anywhere with the Android OS, Qualcom Processor, and support for Bluetooth, 3G, HSUPA, A2DP, GPRS, USB, WLAN Wi-Fi, and Edge networks.  Web support is provided by an HTML web browser and full FPS navigational capabilities are enhanced by the A-GPS system.

The iPhone4 is unique compared to other mobile devices in many ways, but one way that the average consumer will not notice is still quite relevant in terms of technology.  The iPhone 4 sim cards are actually micro-sim cards when compared to the regular size of a mobile sim card, which means that twice as much data can be stored on a small computer chip that is half the size of its counterparts.  The fact that this can be done by Apple paves the way for future mobile innovation, and smaller mobiles that can provide much more powerful services.

One of the advantages to creating smaller sim cards for the iPhone 4 was that there was more space for additional features in the ground breaking mobile such as built in speakers, a better battery, and a better video and camera system.

The less space that is needed by key components of a mobile phone the more room there is for additional technical details.  Of course, for the average user of the iPhone 4 who wants freedom and the mobile device the fact that the sim card is not standard adds a bit more complication to the situation.

Traditionally, with free sim cards that come as part of sim only deals a user simply inserts the sim card into a mobile device of their choosing and can start to access a provider’s network.  However, given the fact that the iPhone 4 utilizes a smaller sim card some difficulties may arise while when you try to utilize the same sim only deal on the mobile that you would on any other smartphone.

The good news is that the iPhone 4 is still compatible with other sim cards, but the major problem lies in the fact that it is locked into an exclusivity deal that makes tampering with service providers quite problematic.

This said, there are still many ways to unlock the iPhone4 that will allow one to use a sim card only deal in the mobile favourite.  However, some of the methods are not only unorthodox, but also illegal, which makes determining how to complete the process of your own a bit more complicated.  With the proper research and the proper aid of a computer expert, however, discerning how to proceed with using the iPhone4 in the manner you choose is possible.
