PC Mag dikutip detikINET, Rabu (6/7/2011) melaporkan, konsol terbaru Sony yang disebut-sebut sebagai PlayStation 4 atau PS4 akan mulai dikapalkan pada tahun 2012.
Kabar ini dihembuskan pertama kali oleh DigiTimes, media teknologi asal Taiwan yang mengulas industri komponen gadget. Laporan DigiTimes menyebutkan, konsol tersebut akan berbasis pengontrol gerak seperti Kinect Microsoft dan komponen ini akan dibuat oleh Foxconn dan Pegatron Technology.
Awalnya, para petinggi Sony memperkirakan PS3 akan bertahan hingga sepuluh tahun lamanya. Namun akhir-akhir ini, mereka mulai meragukan perkiraan tersebut. Mereka berasumsi, paling lama PS3 dapat bertahan setidaknya delapan tahun.
Di sisi lain, selama Sony mempertahankan PS3, Nintendo sebagai kompetitor terbesarnya telah mengumumkan perangkat game terbarunya, Wii U yang akan mulai dikapalkan pada 2012.
April silam, Sony mengumumkan telah menjual 50 juta unit PS3. Untuk saat ini, perusahaan asal Jepang itu tengah fokus meningkatkan kemampuan perangkat game genggam PlayStation Vita.
In the event the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Ericsson broke the world record by displaying data through a technology transfer long term evolution (LTE) or 4G speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for the downlink.
Demonstration for the first time in the world using the latest technology and multicarrier multiple-input-multiple-output, MIMO, and runs on a commercial LTE from Ericsson. By combining these technologies, speed up to 1 gigabit per second can be achieved. The demonstration uses four wide-band network with each for a total 20 MHz bandwidth 80 MHz and used 4 x 4 MIMO, the data sent through the interface over the air on four bit-stream is independent.
LTE, mobile communication technology future, allowing large data transfer is fast with an efficient and cost effective through the optimization of the frequency spectrum. With increasing cutting speed and latency, consumers can enjoy a variety of applications, such as the web in realtime, online game, social media collaboration and video conferencing more easily whenever and wherever they may be. LTE will meet the needs of Internet applications move to new and more sophisticated in the future.
"Our mission is to connect the device to 50 billion in 2020. The whole device and any favorable circumstances should be connected as one. Patients can communicate with the hospital from a distance, students from remote areas will be in touch with universities throughout the world, the safety of workers will send live video from the affected areas for a more efficient response, "said Johan Wibergh, Head of Networks and Executive Vice President, in a press release received Kompas.com, Thursday (17/2/2010) .
Currently Ericsson has signed contracts with five commercial LTE in the world's leading operators, namely AT & T in the United States, Verizon in the United States, TeliaSonera in Norway and Sweden, MetroPCS in the United States, and DoCoMo in Japan.
A prototype device created from Japanese mobile phone operators, enabling users to call and receive calls, and even play music on your phone just by moving the eyes.
NTT DoCoMo, the company that developed the device, there is a special electrode attached to a set of earphones. This electrode serves to catch the eye movement.
"His eyes kept potential electrical current, ie positive currents in the cornea, and a negative flow on the retina. Changes the potential of this current depends on the movement of the eyeball. This system worked, even though the user's eyes when closed," the spokesman said NTT DoCoMo, such as quoted from the Telegraph, Wednesday (17/2/2010).
Electrode earphones can read the changes in electrical currents are called electrooculogram, and phone NTT DoCoMo created is designed to translate that information and turn it into a form of command. By way of such work, users can call or receive calls simply by moving their eyes to the left and right.
Similarly, playing music. Music files stored in the phone can be played or terminated using eye movements. In his presentation at the event Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, a spokesman for NTT DoCoMo's practice this way of working devices. As the ball moves to the right eye, the music player will play the previous song. When the ball moves to the right eye repeatedly, the phone will jump to the next song. Meanwhile, the volume can be amplified or diminished by moving his eyes up and down.
Might be a little funny, weird or even suspicious, when he saw someone move their eyes to operate their phones. NTT DoCoMo said, the system is just an example, but enough to give a view of the possibility of such phones can be used in the next few years.
"In the future gadgets may only be operated with body movements, including eye movement," the spokesman asserted.
