Samsung launches Galaxy Note 2 to better compete with Apple's iPhone 5

[Fook Seng]

talk so much crap... samsung galaxy note sold up to 7 million. so what the fuck is this?

For a phone model nothing to trumpet about for that sort of period which their competing brand could do within a week.

I believe in a couple of years a tablet can be a single device you carry on your person. Today you can also do that but the devices are not optimized for both uses. As for surfing, we are still stuck with the old method of displaying the entire webpage even on a phone with limited real estate. Even with the largest display phones it will be a stretch. More and more that way will change with simpler and more user friendly display for phones. I see the progression to tablet instead of phones will be driven by video not Internet surfing which can simplified to suit the screen. For example, with reading and posting on this forum, I find it much easier to do so through an application on a phone than on the Internet with a laptop.

How long can a model last? One year? Two years? How long can design concept last? Maybe 2 to 3 models. Samsung better be in hurry. Already Samsung is being sued by another Korean company on the use of OLED display.

It should how long people can support a model plus its software. Samsung know this.

Think your smartphone is powerful now? Wait until the year 2050, when Apple will have faded into oblivion (most major tech companies can last barely 30 years).
Your phone will be paper thin and charge wirelessly. You'll probably project a high-def screen onto a wall when you want a bigger screen, since laptops will have become relics. But the truly impressive innovations will go far beyond these well-known predictions. Super-smart AI will make your phone even more powerful for business. Here are my predictions for what phones will do:
1. Analyze your surroundings
Future phones will analyze your surroundings, but not in the way you might think. Today, phones can connect to a Bluetooth signal and stream audio to your car. In 30 years, your phone will become more self-aware. When you arrive in your hotel room, your phone will connect to the thermostat and adjust the temp according to your usual preferences. You'll have fingertip access to every other electronic gadget, even the sink in the bathroom--say, to find out when it was cleaned last. And, you'll see instant info about the connections available, your hotel bill, who is nearby, and the weather. This data will not lurk in disparate apps, though--your phone will get it on the fly.
2. Record information
One of the problems with human memory is that it tends to be fallible. That's not a problem for your phone. Yet, in the future, phones won't just store data you put there. The device will morph into a digital recorder of every event, place, and experience. Walk into a conference room, and sensors in your phone will tap into the phones of every other attendee, recording their names, professional experience, and even their recent travels. You'll record audio and video, of course, but the phone will do this automatically by tapping into other cameras in the room and during important occasions. The AI will know what you want to record and do this in the background without your intervention.
3. Display clean data
In the current digital age, you don't have much choice about how information is presented. Turn on CNN, and you have to live with the programmed chatter. Yet, a future phone will have the ability to adjust streams of information. This is more than just editing. Your phone will become the main conduit you use for seeing information, but it will be smart enough to weed out information you don't care about. When you read a future digital version of The New York Times, your phone will customize the information for you on the fly--presenting only relevant news in chunks you determine.
4. Monetize your mobility
In a future cashless society, one based primarily on transactions you conduct with your phone, you'll be able to monetize your mobility. Say you show up at a meeting having researched a topic extensively. Your phone can offer to share this information for a small fee with business partners. You'll also be able to offer a stream of well-honed content like indie movies and newly discovered music under your own micro-distribution license, similar to iTunes but localized and wireless. Once all of our financial data is stored on our phones (and highly secure), we'll start using the phone to sell just about anything. This will work both ways, of course. The accumulated knowledge of others will also be a click away.

5. Familiarize your world
Phones already do a good job of helping us understand the world around us--just use the Zillow app to see a constant stream of house prices as you drive around. As an intelligent agent of learning, your future phone will go much further. You'll speak into your phone and it will translate what you say in real-time, in any language. (Some apps do this already, but not smoothly or quickly.) Your phone will know your preferences and will connect to neighborhood services. Say you like soccer: Your phone will let you know the city has recently improved a soccer field as you drive within a few blocks. If you like a new band, and arrive in Orlando, your phone will let you know where the show is happening.
6. Fraternize with others
The concept of gamification is already here--just look atKlout perks or Bing rewards. In the future, the concept will expand much further. Your phone will constantly scan for like-minded people (as you can do today with some social apps) and you'll be able to hold multiplayer matches with nearby gamers. But future phones will "gamify" anything you want, from beating your boss to a meeting to earning perks for sharing an easier route to the museum with the car next to you (and getting a free gas token as a reward).

If you are looking at something so far (40 years?), the smart device could be something you install right into your eyes and ears and you turn it on and off or switch modes through mental concentration. That is just the physical manifestation.

I cannot begin to imagine what the content side will be. Technology changes so fast and so drastically that it is difficult to think about it now.

I remember the days when the only mobile thing was the pager. First you get just a telephone number that you call back to. Then you get an alphanumeric display which allows you to send a very short text message and it was a big thing, couldn't imagine it. Then came the first Motorola cellular phone, the 大哥大 (the brick). SMS came in later, first read only then both ways and you thought you had the ultimate phone. The phones got smaller and smaller and technology is measured by the degree of miniaturization and silicon and multi-layer technology. Then someone brought in ergonomics. The phone must fit the hand but since with the acquired miniaturization technology, the phones looked quite empty inside, so new chips and features were added to fill up the space until the concept of a smartphone arose that required more than a one, two or three lines display.

Then began the debate on screen size with one school sticking with ergonomics and using software to deal with the size issue while the other school focused on hardware upgrading. The idea of tablet is born to allow more liberal surfing and AV capabilities. Then there is an attempt for a cult to have a compromised device that sits in between the phone and the tablet.

What I am certain is that technology that finally becomes the mainstream will not be something that is just one-up on the competition. It will be a revolutionary idea to capture the imagination. The cloud is one such idea and eventually everyone will adopted it. Apps was another such idea. Apples, Androids and Windows all have it in varying degree. People are always hungry for new uses.

Where will we get from here? Your guess is as good as mine.

Remember saying "Nokia will be finish if they don't innovate"...few yrs ago while chatting with a grp of friends...jus after i got moi second symbian phone...and as sux as ever if not worst then the first...most mock at me...Nokia? Dead? "You die dey oso havan die"...seriously...technology move so fast...if u dun innovate...death...come swiftly...maybe de nxt revolutional device...oredi exist in some secret R&D labs...we oni nid to wait...n when de time come...pay...

If you look at 3D vision, those glassless ones and not the lenticular display, it is almost like science fiction with two laser beams, aimed one at each eye, using a face recognition technology to aim the laser correctly. For one viewer, two laser beams are enough. Two people you need four beams, three, six beams and so on with each additional pair of eyes, the framing rate needs to increase by 200Hz i.e. 200hz for one viewer, 400Hz for two viewers and so on. That is why such a technology is likely to appear on a mobile phone first rather than on a TV because a phone is essentially a single person device. The technology has already been demonstrated.

U mean like PAP supporters who r suffering due to PAP policies but still vote PAP???

Apple fan-boys are like pee-a-pee hardcore supporters.

They love paying to get screwed. And always happily look forward to the next screwing session.
