Mobile data increased very much last year. I expect the growth to continue. If operators do not invest enough to their network and/or find suitable charging schemes the network can become more congested than before.
4G mobile device speeds becomes the new standard. As competition move to that end, there will be fast growth there. Shipments of ’4G’ LTE devices, that is handsets, dongles and tablets, reached almost 103 million units in 2012, according to figures published by ABI Research. It interesting that almost 95% of the devices shipped went to North America and the Asia-Pacific.
3G will become the low-cost option for those who think 4G option is too expensive. What is interesting to note is that not everyone who upgraded to an LTE-capable device last year took out an LTE subscription; in fact, only around half of LTE device owners also have an LTE subscription.
The shift to 4G can take many more than year to fully happen even in USA. ABI expects the rate at which 3G subscribers with LTE handsets upgrade to LTE connections will gather pace over the next two years. And even longer in Europe. Carriers should not be panicking. And 3G will live and expand besides 4G for quite a long time. For many of those living outside cities, 3G internet connections are still hard to come by.
Apple and Samsung will continue to make money this year as well as people rate Apple and Samsung more highly than ever. Accountant Deloitte predicts that Smartphone sales to hit 1bn a year for first time in 2013.
Samsung is currently the world’s leading seller of phones and televisions. Those leaders should be careful because competition is getting harder all the time. Samsung boss has given warning on this to employees. Remember what what happened to Nokia.
Android will dominate smart phone market even stronger than before. Digitimes Research: Android phones to account for 70% of global smartphone market in 2013.
Windows Phone 8 situation is a question mark. Digitimes predicts that Shipments of Windows Phones, including 7.x and 8.x models, will grow 150% on year to 52.5 million units in 2013 for a 6.1% share. There is one big force against Windows Phone: Google does not bother doing services for Windows Phone 8, Google’s sync changes are going to screw Gmail users on Windows Phone and there are issues with YouTube. Does Windows Phone even have a chance without Google? For active Google service users the changes are pretty that they get this phone.
Competition on smart phones gets harder. It seems that smart phone business have evolved to point where even relatively small companies can start to make their own phones. Forbes sees that Amazon, Microsoft, Google, will all introduce branded mobile phones.
Patent battles are far from over. We will see many new patent fights on smart phones and tablets.
Mobile phones still cause other devices to become redundant. Tietoviikko tells that last year mobile phone made redundant the following devices: small screen smart phones (4 inch or more now), music buying as individual tracks or discs, navigators (smart phone can do that) and a separate pocket size camera. Let’s see what becomes redundant this year.
Many things happens on Linux on mobile devices. Ubuntu now fits in your phone. Firefox OS phones from ZTE will come to some markets. ZTE plans to make Open webOS phone. Meego is not dead, it resurrects with new names: Samsung will release Tizen based phones. Jolla will release Sailfish phones.
Cars become more and more mobile communications devices. Car of the future is M2M-ready. Think a future car as a big smart phone moving on wheels.
Nokia seemed to be getting better on the end of 2012, but 2013 does not look too good for Nokia. Especially on smart phones if you believe Tomi T Ahonen analysis Picture Tells it Better – first in series of Nokia Strategy Analysis diagrams, how Nokia smartphone sales collapsed. Even if shipment of Windows Phone 8 devices increase as Digitimes predicts the year will be hard for Nokia. Tristan Louis expects in Forbes magazine that Nokia abandons the mobile business in 2013. I think that will happen this year, at least for whole mobile business. I have understood that basic phone and feature phone phone business part of Nokia is quite good condition. The problems are on smart phones. I expect that Windows Phone 8 will not sell as well as Nokia hopes.
Because Nokia is reducing number of workers in Finland, there are other companies that try to use the situation: Two new Finnish mobile startups and Samsung opens a research center in Espoo Finland.
Finnish mobile gaming industry has been doing well on 2012. Rovio has been growing for years on the success of Angry Birds that does not show slowing down. Supercell had also huge success. I expect those businesses to grow this year. Maybe some new Finnish mobiel game company finds their own recipe for success.
Late addition: Wireless charging of mobile devices is get getting some popularity. Wireless charging for Qi technology is becoming the industry standard as Nokia, HTC and some other companies use that. There is a competing AW4P wireless charging standard pushed by Samsung ja Qualcomm. Toyota’s car will get wireless mobile phone charger, and other car manufacturers might follow that if buyers start to want them. Wireless charge option has already been surprisingly common variety of devices: Nokia Lumia 920, Nexus 4, HT, etc. We have to wait for some time for situation to stabilize before we see public charging points in cafeterias.

Android Developers Can Seize the Day in Wearable Devices
http://www.designnews.com/document.asp?doc_id=269932&cid=nl.dn14&dfpPParams=ind_184,industry_consumer,industry_medical,aid_269932&dfpLayout=article
In the movie Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams whispers to his students, “Carpe diem,” or “Seize the day.” Today, Android device developers around the world are planning to incorporate new Android KitKat technology into wearable devices and seize their share of this lucrative new market. Developers are also wrestling with how to support their product lines while designing a completely new class of products.
Wearable devices are pouring into the market with huge investments from cash-rich VCs such as Legend Capital, and with development assistance from resource-rich vendors such as Google, Intel, and Baidu.
Recent big bets include $43 million in financing for wearable device company FitBit, Legend Capital’s funding of Zepp Lab, and an investment by Intel in the ski glass pioneer Recon. On the development side, Intel started a New Device group led by a designer who worked on the popular Nike FuelBand, and Baidu has launched a site featuring wearable devices using its mobile operating system called Baidu Cloud.
Driving the investments are forecasts for huge market demand. According to a Juniper Research report (subscription required), revenue from wearable industry sales will reach $19 billion in 2018 — more than 13 times the $1.4 billion expected this year.
KitKat is a wearable device watershed
Until now, Android operating system (OS) technology wasn’t optimized for small, low-power wearable devices. The new capabilities of Android 4.4 KitKat, the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, are expected to be a watershed for sales of wearable devices, with tools to help developers create memory-efficient applications for smaller devices with as little as 512 Mbytes of memory. Developers who get to market fastest with high-quality products will find an open market in which to establish early incumbency as a wearable device leader.
The sensors help track exercise regimes, daily workouts, and calorie burns more accurately. Android wearable devices then become at least partial substitutes for personal trainers. In an era when all of us are moving toward preventive care, KitKat will likely become the standard OS for wearable fitness monitoring devices.
Wearable Android devices also have a huge potential in home care, as they have the potential for both monitoring and communicating. Imagine a patient with a heart condition who is involved in high-stress activity. A wearable device can notify his doctor that his heart rate/pulse rate is consistently beyond normal stress levels, and there’s immediate need for the doctor to slow the patient down.
Challenges for developers
There are many potential applications for wearable devices and almost as many challenges in developing them. The challenges vary all the way from hardware capability to technical expertise.
From a hardware perspective, the expectations of ruggedness for wearable devices will be higher than that of a smartphone. Smartphones are built for computing and can run a lot of applications, but they’re personal and fragile systems. Wearable devices won’t operate in such a gentle environment. A simple example is the inability to operate touchscreens in dust/dirt conditions or while wearing gloves. To meet the requirements of wearable devices, it’s important for designers to look beyond a delicate screen on a wrist.

Select Reliable Connectors for Mobile Devices
http://www.designnews.com/author.asp?section_id=1365&doc_id=269738&cid=nl.dn14
If you’ve spent any time looking for the right connector to use in a smartphone or other mobile device, you might believe that all fine-pitch, low-profile connectors are created equal. But they’re not.
In spite of similarities in package size and pitch, at least on their datasheets, these connectors differ in subtle ways that can affect their reliability during the assembly process and in use.

Only one application will cause more than half of the phones data traffic
The vast majority of the mobile network data traffic is due to a small number of the application. The worst bandwidth eater is Media Player.
A variety of mobile applications are seeing a proliferation, but most of the mobile networks in load results in a small number of the application.
Cloud Services Technology developer Citrix has announced the network load information related to the Mobile Analytics report.
According to the three Android application is responsible for about 83 percent of all of these devices for data transfer. These are the Media Player, Mobile Browser and Google Play. The most severe polluter is the Media Player, which accounts for the amount of data is more than half.
Also, the iOS camp, there is a clear set of big data traffic: Media Player, Safari, App Store and Facebook together produce 82 percent of the traffic.

Almost 40% of tablet users worldwide use devices bought by friends and family
Wi-Fi satisfies the connectivity needs of most tablet users.
http://www.analysysmason.com/About-Us/News/Insight/tablet-survey-article-Nov2013/
On 22 October 2013 Apple announced that it has sold 170 million iPads since the launch of the tablet in 2010. The unprecedented use of tablets at a mass-market level in Western countries has many implications for operators and device manufacturers. According to Analysys Mason’s recently published major worldwide survey of 43 000 tablet users in June and July 2013 across 17 countries, 43% of respondents did not buy the tablet that they use. Instead, many tablets were given as gifts by friends and family (39%) or provided by an employer (4%).1 This partly explains the under-use of 3G/4G on tablets, because people are more likely to receive non-cellular tablets as gifts.
Our survey shows that less than 10% of tablet respondents in the UK and the USA use cellular networks to connect their tablet, highlighting simultaneously the opportunity and the challenge that this market represents for operators.
Wi-Fi satisfies the connectivity needs of most tablet users. 45% of respondents with a 3G/4G-capable tablet who did not use this capability stated that Wi-Fi availability was the main reason for not enabling a SIM in their device.
The price of cellular connectivity is not declining as fast as the average retail price of tablets.
There is a direct link between mobility and the use of 3G/4G on tablets.
43% of tablet users did not buy the tablet that they use
Replacement rates for tablets are relatively long, particularly in the most mature markets. According to the survey results, 49% of tablet owners in the USA and 46% in the UK expect to keep their tablet for more than two years.

This $200 Google Glass competitor looks like ordinary glasses — and can hold prescription lenses
http://venturebeat.com/2013/11/27/this-200-google-glass-competitor-looks-just-like-ordinary-glasses-and-can-hold-prescription-lenses/
A tiny unfunded five-person startup in Massachusetts has created a Google Glass alternative that, they say, is much more immersive than Glass — and much less geeky.
The product is a set of smart glasses — “smartspecks” — that can give you heads-up directions, take pictures, record videos, display on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram updates from your friends, and more. Just like Google Glass, connectivity to the cloud is via your phone. Unlike Google Glass, however, all the intelligence resides in an app on that phone.
“We designed the simplest most minimalist device that we could,” LaForge Optical CEO Corey Mack told VentureBeat. “Anyone who wants Google Glass … in a more conventional form factor can have it. Additionally our lens technology allows for people who need prescription lenses (about 65 percent of the population) to be able to use our glasses.”
works as a convention pair of prescription glasses
“You don’t have to look like a nerd to be the most tech savvy person in a room,” Mack says.
The first version will be just $200, but on Kickstarter the price will be about $400.

Secret Weapon in Mall Battle: Parking Apps

Phoebe Scott of Orange County, Calif., has a new routine before heading to the mall.
She checks the parking lots on her ParkMe smartphone app “so that I can see what I’m up against, or if I need to change my plans.” If a lot is below 90 percent full, the trip is on.
“It’s a daily battle,” said Ms. Scott, 29, the founder of Laudville, a social technology start-up. “Anything to make it easier makes a really big difference.”
The fight for a mall parking spot, long a necessary evil of Black Friday, is growing easier thanks to the proliferation of new technologies, from apps and sensors to color-coded lights and electronic boards.
It’s one way that malls and shopping districts are trying to lure customers away from their computers, into the realm of their brick-and-mortar stores.

Sony SmartWatch 2 review
Baby steps towards the watch of the future
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/26/5147676/sony-smartwatch-2-review
Time and again we’ve heard the same story: wearables are the next big thing in personal technology. Everyone will have wearables attached to their bodies in the next few years. And so on and so forth. But despite all of these predictions and the intense interest in wearable technology, we still don’t have a great smartwatch.
The Pebble is too nerdy and toylike for most people; the Galaxy Gear is far too expensive and limited; and the litany of crowdfunded no-name manufacturers have yet to actually produce a compelling option.
Despite its flaws, I’m a big fan of my Pebble.
Last year’s SmartWatch was a disappointment. Clumsy, unintuitive, and just plain not good-looking
The Pebble is nerdy because it’s the Pebble. But Sony is the mainstream, everyone knows the Sony brand. Can Sony make a smartwatch for the mainstream?
A successful smartwatch needs to have three things done right: a set of functions that people want; have those functions actually work; and have a compelling design that doesn’t scream “I’m wearing a computer on my wrist.” The SmartWatch 2 hits on the design part, but it misses on the other two.
Sony’s made a lot of headway with the SmartWatch 2 – it’s categorically better than its predecessor and better than any smartwatch Sony has ever released. But it’s still a number of steps away from being something that everyday people can wear, use, and enjoy.
Most people still shouldn’t spend their money on a smartwatch – the market just isn’t mature enough and there are still too many compromises you have to make in order to work one into your life.

Google Glass Makes Its Way Into Operating Rooms
http://singularityhub.com/2013/12/01/google-glass-makes-its-way-into-operating-rooms/
Hands-free devices like Google Glass can be really transformative when the hands they free are those of a surgeon. And leading hospitals, including Stanford and the University of California at San Francisco, are beginning to use Glass in the operating room.
In October, UCSF’s Pierre Theodore, a cardiothoracic surgeon, became the first doctor in the United States to obtain Institutional Review Board approval to use the device to assist him during surgery. Theodore pre-loads onto Glass the scans of images of the patient taken just before surgery and consults them during the operation.
“To be able to have those X-rays directly in your field without having to leave the operating room or to log on to another system elsewhere, or to turn yourself away from the patient in order to divert your attention, is very helpful in terms of maintaining your attention where it should be, which is on the patient 100 percent of the time,” said Theodore.
Theodore has performed a dozen surgeries using Google Glass.
A Stanford-affiliated startup called VitalMedicals is developing a system that would automate doctors’ access to patient images and medical records using Glass by syncing them automatically via Wi-Fi.
VitalMedicals is working on a second app, SurgStream, which displays the pre-surgical images and streams live fluoroscopy, ultrasound and endoscopy video to Glass or a tablet.
Surgeons do already have access to patient images, but they must sometimes peer behind other monitors or re-scrub after touching files or devices. The voice-activated Google Glass makes it that much easier for surgeons to consult those materials in the course of the procedure.
While average users might find Glass’s tiny display tiring to look at, surgeons are already accustomed to looking through magnifying glasses while they work.

Mobile Boosts Processor Market
Qualcomm strong in smartphone, Chinese lead Android tablet processors
http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1320260&
This year’s unit shipments for processors will grow 24% over 2012 to as high as 1.5 billion, according to IHS Inc.
The fast rise is being bolstered by strong smartphone and tablet sales, which are more than compensating for a 13% slump in desktop sales and a 2% drop in notebook sales, the research firm said in its report. Of all processor segments, only PCs experienced a downturn, since even server processors experienced growth in 2013. For instance, server processor shipments rose to 4.8 million units in the second quarter from 4.6 million a year earlier.
Despite their smaller price tags compared with PC processors, the overall market revenue for processors will grow by single digits in 2013
“Popularity of mobile devices has changed the landscape of the processor market as tablets and smartphones take over from PCs among consumers,
In the hottest mobile processor markets, Xu said the traditional PC emphasis on raw speed has shifted to features relevant to mobile computing. “Instead of more computing power focus driven by PC market, the mobile processor market is focusing on features, such as power efficiency and the user experience.”

Messenger service WhatsApp has leapfrogged Facebook to become the leading mobile social messaging service.
On Device’s report revealed that social messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, BBM and WeChat, dominated the way people communicate via mobile, eclipsing calls and texts with 86 percent using social messaging daily. 73 percent, 75 per cent and 60 percent said they used their handset daily for voice calls, SMS and email respectively.
Back in April, WhatsApp chief executive Jan Koum said the service had more users than Twitter and carried more messages than Facebook.
The paid-for app (which costs 69p to download in the UK, with a further 65p charge per year) does not carry advertising like its other social media counterparts.

DNA says 4g traffic ten-fold in Finland
DNA indicates that the traffic of the 4G LTE network has increased ten-fold this year. The reasons are actually three.
One reason for the increase in traffic was fast connections to the benefit of the network and the increase in the use of tumescent. These include, in particular video over the network broadcast services, but contribute to the effort to carry the network storage services and network meetings.
The second reason is that the 4G network terminals operating in is now available in a different way than in the past and they are very popular.
Elisa told in October after the 4g devices of its total sales had exceeded the 40 per cent threshold.
The operators have also increased the race to LTE networks coverage.
“LTE network’s coverage of the population is currently around 40 percent,” DNA’s production director Antti Jokinen says in release.

Android 4.x Jelly Bean continues to gain market share
Android 4.4 Kitkat breaks out, while most are full of beans

OFTWARE DEVELOPER Google has announced the latest market shares of the various releases of its Android mobile operating system.
Despite only having a month of shelf life so far, Android 4.4 Kitkat has made an impressive start, grabbing 1.1 percent of the market, driven by the accompanying launch of the well received Nexus 5 handset.
But Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 Jelly Bean continue to dominate with 54.5 percent total market share across its three point versions, a majority that will please Google’s desire to get the monkey of fragmentation of its back.
However, the spectre of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the release that refuses to lie down, continues to haunt with 24.1 percent market share. There are signs that this figure is slowly decreasing

Death of the Desktop
http://www.designnews.com/author.asp?section_id=1365&doc_id=270105&
Mobile browsing is set to overtake traditional desktop browsing in 2015. Global smartphone sales passed 250 million sales in the third quarter of this year and with ongoing new tablet and smartphone releases, December 2013 will no doubt see millions of devices finding their way under a tree to be opened on Christmas morning around the world.
The smartphone revolution is changing how consumers use the Internet. This is slowly leading to the death of the desktop. What does this mean for the design world? How will designers prepare for this user experience change? Is responsive design enough? There are some big questions that need answering.
Mobile design has already influenced desktop web design to the point where some user interfaces are solely mobile orientated.
But when will the traditional desktop browsing experience as we know it cease? How will digital designers and businesses need to consider their design approach to new technologies? Designers need to think about the answers to these questions.
Technology
There won’t be a formal day or week or month when this death comes, but it is inevitable it will be within this decade. As mobile browsing increases and job demands see busy executives taking more and more work home with them, the mobile device will be the device that allows them to work both in the office and at home, not a desktop and not a laptop. It’s not just the commercial values that will see the desktop fade away, but the social interactive mobile devices that offer families, friends, and communities the ability to engage and share content. Portability and shareability are the key targets for mobile device designers. Devices will need to reflect the values of the software they are running. Some 10 years from now we will be laughing at the fact we carried laptops to and from work.
Technology has moved so fast over the past 10 years and the traditional desktop is struggling to keep up.
A shift in society
We’ve become a species obsessed with demand and access to content, and perhaps rightly so. Creating innovative products that are becoming more and more affordable has led us to become more of a material-led society.
Design responds to the changing needs of society, and sadly for the traditional desktop, this is only a matter of time before its purpose expires

Google is building Chrome apps support for Android and iOS, beta release coming as soon as January 2014
http://thenextweb.com/google/2013/12/03/google-building-chrome-apps-support-android-ios-beta-release-coming-soon-january-2014/
Google is working on bringing Chrome packaged apps from the desktop to the mobile world. The company is currently building a toolkit to help developers create Chrome apps for Android and iOS, as well as port their existing Chrome apps to both mobile platforms.
The news comes by means of a GitHub repository we stumbled on called Mobile Chrome Apps led by Michal Mocny, a Software Developer at Google. The included documentation sheds a bit more light on what exactly the company is trying to put together: Chrome Packaged App for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Chrome OS are just the beginning.
The toolkit will help developers create Android and iOS hybrid native apps with Chrome app polyfills, through Apache Cordova. The steps include modifying for mobile design, fixing bugs, working around limitations, and of course, testing.

Hands-on with the Qualcomm Toq smartwatch
It’s got fancy new display technology and some really weird design decisions.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/12/hands-on-with-the-qualcomm-toq-smartwatch/
Ars received a review copy of the Qualcomm Toq smartwatch today, and after a couple hours of use, I’ve formed some first impressions. A full review will come in a few days, but so far the Toq hasn’t changed my general opinion about smart watches: they’re still not awesome.
That display deserves some amount of discussion—which will come in our full review. Rather than employing E Ink or a standard backlit LCD-based screen, the Toq uses a Mirasol interferometric modulator display—a proprietary Qualcomm invention made up of microscopic mirror-like elements. The Mirasol display isn’t backlit, so it’s quite visible outdoors in sunlight, but in dim indoor conditions it needs additional illumination to be seen. The device comes with an integrated front light for this purpose—just like an old digital watch. The Mirasol technology makes for a display that isn’t terribly sharp, but it’s not awful. Qualcomm is aware that the display’s fuzziness will be an issue for some and promises that Mirasol displays will continue to evolve.
Smartwatches are mostly non-functional without an attached smartphone, and here the Toq fails a major usability test: it is currently only compatible with Android devices. This is a step up from Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, which only works with one Android device, but it shuts out the iOS and Windows Phone-using crowd.

LG G Flex Hands-On: First Self-Healing, Flexible Smartphone
http://blog.laptopmag.com/lg-g-flex-specs-hands-on
The future will not be flat. That’s what LG’s Dr. Ramchan Woo declared as he unveiled the new LG G Flex during an exclusive press event in California. The 6-inch handset is one of the first to offer a curved body that contours to your face and the only one to feature a self-healing rear panel that can repair itself when scratched.
True to its name, the G Flex is indeed flexible. Though not completely foldable or bendable, the handset can be laid down with its screen face down and pushed until it’s completely flat without causing any structural damage. LG says it tested this up to 100 times with as much as 88 pounds of pressure and the phone never cracked. We leaned on the G Flex during our hands-on and the phone bounced back each time.
When scratched, the substructure pushes back against the scratch, popping it back out. The process is dependent on room temperature, so the hotter it is, the faster the molecules can respond and heal the panel. Of course, deep scratches and cuts will cut right through the substructure, rendering it useless. LG says the solution isn’t meant to be perfect, but should help keep the G Flex looking relatively fresh as it ages.

Frank Nuovo, the pioneering Nokia industrial designer that founded luxury phone brand Vertu, is working on a smartwatch. Quartz reports that MetaWatch will release the product in the first quarter of next year; it’ll feature upgrades to the display and operating system seen on earlier watches from the company.
Although there are next to no details yet, Nuovo’s involvement suggests that MetaWatch is looking to focus on the areas of the wristwatch market so far underserved by the likes of the Pebble. “To me it’s about crafting beautiful products,” says CEO Bill Geiser. “That’s a word you rarely hear in the smartwatch arena — the word ‘beautiful.’”

FDA Charts Mobile Health Progress
http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1320286&
US regulators are making a solid effort to keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital health care sector, said a government official here. The Food and Drug Administration issued guidance in 2013 about how it views mobile medical apps as well as security and wireless technology choices in medical devices — and it hopes to release guidelines on interoperability next year, said William Maisel, chief scientist of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
“We are very committed to the appropriate balance between benefits and risks and bringing new technology to patients as quickly as possible,”
The FDA is to some extent playing catch up with a fast moving industry.
The agency aims to deliver smart regulations appropriate to emerging technologies, Maisel said. “We shouldn’t regulate just because we can or always have regulated that way,” he said noting the FDA is scaling back from the old Class I, II, and III buckets originally created by Congress.
“A large number of medical apps will not be regulated because the patient risk is sufficiently low — the part we focus on is really just the tip of the iceberg,” Maisel said.

Accused Glasshole driver says specs weren’t even turned on for traffic stop
Not guilty plea entered on all charges
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/04/glasshole_driver_pleads_not_guilty/
A California woman who was stopped by police for driving while wearing Google Glass has pleaded not guilty to charges of speeding and distracted driving.
Early Glass adopter Cecilia Abadie of Temecula, California was issued a traffic citation in October under a clause in the state’s vehicle code that forbids operating a motor vehicle while a television or video screen is visible to the driver.
She is believed to be the first person in the US – and hence the world, since Glass is so far only available to US residents – to be ticketed for an offense involving the high-tech specs.
“We’re going to be arguing that Miss Abadie’s case is unique, it’s different, it’s the first of its kind,” Concidine said in a video posted to Abadie’s Google+ page. “And there is nothing illegal to be wearing Google Glass while driving your vehicle.”
The language of the law under which Abadie was cited forbids in-vehicle televisions and video screens mounted “at a point forward of the back of the driver’s seat.” It makes specific exceptions for information displays, GPS systems, mapping displays, and devices solely designed to assist in driving – such as rear-facing closed circuit camera displays – as long as these are installed in the vehicle.
Glass can certainly display a video signal, so it would seem to qualify for the ban.

Summary: The EU has approved Microsoft’s planned purchase of Nokia’s mobile devices and services business.
In a press release dated December 4, the Commission said it had investigated potential compeition concerns and found none.
“In 2012, almost 700 million smartphones and 162 million tablets were sold worldwide. The Commission assessed the effects of the acquisition on competition in the field of smart mobile devices (including smartphones and tablets). The Commission found that the overlap of the two companies’ activities in this area is minimal and several strong rivals, such as Samsung and Apple will continue to compete with the merged entity,” the release added.

The troubled mobile phone maker BlackBerry still has at least one very loyal customer: U.S. President Barack Obama.
At a meeting with youth on Wednesday to promote his landmark healthcare law, Obama said he is not allowed to have Apple’s smart phone, the iPhone, for “security reasons,” though he still uses Apple’s tablet computer, the iPad.

Bluetooth 4.1 prepares headsets and more to connect to the ‘Net
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2068491/bluetooth-4-1-prepares-headsets-and-more-to-connect-to-the-net.html
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group said Wednesday that it had published Bluetooth 4.1, which prepares Bluetooth peripherals for the “Internet of Things” by allowing them to serve as both hub and peripheral devices, and paving the way for them to directly connect to the Internet.
Put another way, Bluetooth 4.1 devices like fitness trackers will be able to collate data from sensors like heart monitors and temperature gauges, then report back to a smartphone with their findings. In turn, those phones could be used as sensors that other devices can communicate with and pull data from.
The update is the first major release since late 2010, when the SIG announced Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Smart, an update that reduced the power consumed by Bluetooth devices. A spokeswoman for the SIG said that she expects to see several chip companies announce Bluetooth 4.1-compatible products as soon as qualifications are enabled on December 10.
And there’s some more good news: “The updates are all software related, so an over the air update can upgrade [Bluetooth] radios that are currently in market,” the spokeswoman added.
The 4.1 release includes better cooperation between LTE radios and Bluetooth devices, to avoid interference.
Bluetooth 4.1 also supports bulk data transfers, so that information collected over the course of a run can be communicated at once from multiple sensors.

Regardless of whether or not you’ve got a gym membership, there’s a decent chance that, somewhere in the folds of your brain, you’ve got a vivid picture of the sensor-laden, whiz-bang workout of the future. Here of course I’m referring to the indelible image of Ivan Drago, the Soviet super-boxer, strapped with electrodes in the training montage from Rocky IV.
In that movie, Drago’s machine-assisted regimen is the counterpoint to our hero’s homespun preparation of lifting logs and jumping rope, and yet, allegiances aside, it’s hard to deny the allure of a computer-optimized bod. That’s exactly what a startup called Athos hopes to deliver–not with a lab full of machinery but with Under Armor-style workout gear, invisibly embedded with muscle-tracking sensors.

LG Electronics has announced it will incorporate AllJoyn into its 2014 line of Smart TVs, a big step in creating a connected home entertainment ecosystem.
AllJoyn, developed by Qualcomm, is an open source protocol that lets customers control a TV and share content with their mobile phone no matter which manufacturer is behind the TV set or which mobile OS the phone is running. Android, iOS, or Windows Phone – Qualcomm wants you to control any TV like a traditional remote or even game controller.
“LG will now enable consumers to more effortlessly connect their networked devices in the home and continues to show a strong commitment to the next generation of convergence technology,” Richard Choi, senior vice-president of the smart business centre at LG Electronics, said.

You have too many chat apps. Can Layer connect them?
The people behind Jabber and Grand Central want to reinvent how we chat
http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/4/5173726/you-have-too-many-chat-apps-can-layer-connect-them
Jeremie Miller almost brought on a golden age of instant messaging. He invented XMPP — often referred to as Jabber — the common language used by many IM apps to talk to to each other. If your friends used AOL Instant Messenger or ICQ or even Yahoo! Messenger, it was possible for a brief period in the mid 2000s to use any app you wanted to talk to friends. Some chat apps let you group all your chats into tabs instead of windows, while others let you add wallpapers to your chats or even skin the entire app’s user interface. Then, as IM on computers gave way to smartphones, it all fell apart.
One big problem was that Jabber wasn’t designed to keep up with devices popping in and out of connectivity. In 2009, WhatsApp began its global conquest on the iPhone using a custom version of Jabber that no other apps could talk to, and now it boasts over 350 million active users. Skype and later iMessage took hold, cementing the new “walled garden” approach for IM apps. Google, once a champion of XMPP, dropped support for it in its latest Hangouts chat app. Now, dozens of closed, insular messaging networks compete for your attention.
Jeremie Miller was not happy. “I don’t call it a communication system if it’s closed. It’s just some black box you drop a message into and somebody might get it on the other side,” he says.
A new hope
“Layer delivers on the promise of XMPP / Jabber, which was a great idea, but was ahead of its time,” says Štolfa, co-founder of Layer. “The problem is on mobile, the tech stack is obsolete.” The problem was also that Jabber as a medium didn’t make any money. Federated communication standards like email or Jabber have a history of rare and sometimes contentious updates, so it’s hard to blame WhatsApp and others for creating their own standards. Plus, it’s just not in the interests of WhatsApp or Kik or Viber to let users switch between them at a moment’s notice. Lock-in has become a killer feature.
Message received
Messaging is quickly becoming an essential feature for mobile apps, and interoperation could prove to stimulate growth for an entire ecosystem of apps. Yet Miller’s rekindled dream might not come true. Every Layer developer could use the company’s SDK but wall off their app if it’s better for business. Or a company like Google could adopt some of Layer’s open-sourced communication protocols without paying the company a dime. But to Palmeri, open sourcing is necessary. He hopes that by showing users exactly how their messages are being sent, they’ll trust Layer, and this in turn will fuel consumption of its back-end services.

German Patent Ruling Threatens Microsoft’s Windows Phone Earnings From Android

In yet another round of the patent fights going on over smart phones we find that Microsoft has just been dealt a blow over the revenues it gains from Android hand sets. Yes, read that again, Microsoft makes money out of many to most of the Android handsets out there. It’s a substantial chunk of revenue too. On the grapevine we’ve been told that HTC pays $5 a handset, Samsung perhaps as much as $10.
We don’t know the total number as Microsoft doesn’t break it out in their accounts but books it in the same division as the Windows Phone licence revenues.
The royalties are actually on the FAT patent.

The Rise and Fall of BlackBerry: An Oral History
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-12-05/the-rise-and-fall-of-blackberry-an-oral-history
In 1984, Mike Lazaridis, an engineering student at the University of Waterloo, and Douglas Fregin, an engineering student at the University of Windsor, founded an electronics and computer science consulting company called Research In Motion, or RIM. For years the company tinkered in obscurity, until it focused on a breakthrough technology: an easy, secure, and effective device that allowed workers to send and receive e-mails while away from the office. They called it the BlackBerry.
RIM grew into one of the world’s most valuable tech companies.
The BlackBerry became the indispensable accessory of business executives, heads of state, and Hollywood celebrities—until iPhone and Android came along and spoiled the party.

Cellphone data spying: It’s not just the NSA
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/08/cellphone-data-spying-nsa-police/3902809/
Local police are increasingly able to scoop up large amounts of cellphone data using new technologies, including cell tower dumps and secret mobile devices known as Stingrays. Here’s a closer look at how police do it.
Police maintain that cellphone data can help solve crimes, track fugitives or abducted children — or even foil a terror attack.
The National Security Agency isn’t the only government entity secretly collecting data from people’s cellphones. Local police are increasingly scooping it up, too.
Local and state police, from Florida to Alaska, are buying Stingrays with federal grants aimed at protecting cities from terror attacks, but using them for far broader police work.
With the mobile Stingray, police can get a court order to grab some of the same data available via a tower dump with two added benefits. The Stingray can grab some data from cellphones in real time and without going through the wireless service providers involved. Neither tactic — tower dumps or the Stingray devices — captures the content of calls or other communication, according to police.

Overrun With Messaging Apps
http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/06/overrun-with-messaging-apps/
Because I’ll install almost any app on my iPhone just to take a look, I’ve got a jam-packed folder called “messaging apps” that’s now five pages deep.
The situation is getting out of hand.
There’s no doubt that the mobile messaging phenomenon is blowing up, and everyone wants a piece of that. Analysts at Ovum last month estimated that the number of messages sent on these types of apps will grow from 27.5 trillion this year to 71.5 trillion by the end of 2014. Said the report, social messaging is “not just a fad,” but a service that will “be around in the long-term.”
But even if mobile messaging itself is not a fad, a lot of the current products being released into the App Store today are.
Too many otherwise talented people are building messaging apps or Snapchat alternatives with only slightly improved or differentiated feature sets. Worse, they’re building messaging app gimmicks.
Nearly every day, PR staff hastily hired by developers capable of throwing together a little iOS code send out pitch after pitch about the latest and greatest messaging service – a deluge, where the words begin to blur together and descriptions almost sound copied and pasted from the app that came before it…as in, last week.

The Open Secret Of iBeacon: Apple Could Have 250M Potential Units In The Wild By 2014
http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/07/the-open-secret-of-ibeacon-apple-could-have-250m-units-in-the-wild-by-2014/
Yesterday, Apple began a small press push on its new iBeacon technology, pushed an Apple Store app update to support them and turned the feature on in 254 U.S.-based stores in an initial rollout. According to the details we know so far, some Apple stores may have as many as 20 iBeacons deployed, depending on the size.
But the size of that rollout is deceptive for a couple of reasons — and the full implications of the impact on Apple’s iPad business, the internal mapping industry and the retail market are far bigger than anyone has really copped to.
Specifically, most of the coverage of iBeacons so far has failed to recognize a very important reality of this system: every iOS device since the iPhone 4s and iPad 3rd gen is already capable of being either an iBeacon receiver or transmitter, as long as it’s properly configured.
Yes, there are separate devices like Estimote’s beacons that can use Bluetooth LE protocols to act as a beacon, and Apple is using separate, specialized iBeacon devices that look like small silver rectangles tucked under shelves in some stores.
But some of the iBeacons deployed in Apple stores are not specialized hardware at all, they’re just regular iPads or iPhones that have been configured as iBeacons.
According to estimates by Creative Strategies Analyst and Techpinions columnist Ben Bajarin, an estimated 170-190 million iOS devices are currently capable of being iBeacons — that is they have the right hardware and are running iOS 7.
And the iPad is already enormously dominant in the retail space.
“This would present a major advantage to Apple, as many businesses have already implemented these devices into some part of their business, so iBeacons could essentially be turned on all over the business landscape with just a little education and awareness,”

The undergarment has sensors that track the user’s heart rate, respiration, skin conductance and movement — all of which can indicate the type of stressful emotions that lead to over-eating, according to Microsoft researchers. The data is sent to a smartphone app, which then alerts users about their mood.
Researchers hope it could be an innovative solution to stress-induced eating, which is a potential contributor to the nation’s obesity epidemic.
