• While much of the excitement around Android in recent weeks has been the final roll-out of Android 2.1 to the HTC Hero, Google has already released the next version of its OS to its Nexus One smartphone. Dubbed Froyo, Android 2.2 might only be a point release, but in terms of features it dramatically improves the operating system.

    Although its currently only available for Google’s Nexus One, the good news is that Android 2.2 should be making its way on to the vast majority of Android 2.1 devices in the near future including the HTC Desire and HTC Legend. Sadly, it looks like Android 2.1 will be the limit of the HTC Hero.

    For those lucky enough to be able to get Android 2.2, you’ve got a few treats in store and a couple of important tweaks. dell Inspiron 9200 battery , dell Inspiron E1705 battery  One of the best tweaks is that there’s a permanent link to the phone application on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This toolbar is persistent across all home screens, so you’ve always got a quick way to make a phone call. There’s also a new browser button here, so getting online is quick.

    If you use Microsoft Exchange, you’ll be happy with the Active Sync improvements, as Froyo is the first version of Android to support the Global Address List (GAL) and calendar appointments. The GAL integration is particularly neat: start typing an email address and the phone automatically looks up addresses as you type in your contacts book and on the Exchange Server.

    Your calendar appointments are automatically downloaded and combined with appointments from other calendars, such as Gmail. However, they’re only synchronised with their source and creating a new appointment requires you to choose which account it belongs to.

    There’s been a lot of talk with how Apple doesn’t support Flash and Google should be quick to capitalise on the fact that Android 2.2 does. All you have to do is install the official Adobe Flash app from the Market and you can access the internet in its full glory dell Latitude D830 battery , dell XPS M1210 battery . It’s important to note that this is full Flash, not the limited Flash Lite that shipped with the HTC Hero: you’ll be able to view all flash content.

    Importantly, this means that you can access websites, such as iPlayer, from your Android phone and view all of the content. Video played smoothly on our Nexus One when we played a few BBC shows. It makes Android the ultimate handheld device for viewing the internet.

    It also means that you’ll be able to play Flash games on your handset, dramatically increasing the number and variety of games available on Android. Unlike the iPhone’s proprietary platform, it means that developers can write their games once and distribute them to any platform that supports Flash.

    Perhaps the most exciting new feature is the Portable hotspot, which turns your handset into a MiFi-like device, letting you share your 3G connection with any wireless device, such as a laptop. It’s easy to configure: you just turn it on in the Tethering & portable hotspot section of the Wireless & network settings menu. However, it’s a little annoying that the default configuration is for open security,dell GD761 battery  rather than generating a random WPA2 PSK password. Your first job should be to set this manually, otherwise anyone will be able to use your 3G connection.

    Once it’s configured you can connect to your phone as if it were any other wireless router, getting simple mobile broadband on the move. It’s a lot cheaper than buying a real MiFi device and better than having to install software on your PC for a wireless dongle.

    There are a few things that you have to consider, though. For starters, doing this disconnects your phone’s wireless connection, so you’ll need to remember to disable the Portable hotspot when you want to use WiFi on your phone again. Secondly, it can eat up battery life, although can partially negate this if you have a laptop by charging your phone’s battery via a USB port. Finally, you need to make sure that your phone contract allows tethering, otherwise you could be in breach of your contract’s terms and conditions.

    There are a few other nice touches too. We like that you can now update all applications in the Market using the Update All button, rather than having to do each one manually. The Application Manager has also been tweaked  dell KD186 battery , so you can now view Running apps, those installed on an SD card, downloaded models and All.

    In fairness Android probably isn’t quite as smooth to use as iOS, but it’s getting pretty close. Features like the Portable hotspot are incredible to have, while full Flash support dramatically improves the experience of browsing the web. It’s features like this that mean that Android’s an incredibly strong competitor to the iPhone and a better choice in some regards. The only disappointment is that there’s currently no timeline for all Android devices to get 2.2, so it could be an annoying wait.

  • In the increasingly serious energy crisis, the state attaches great importance to today’s environmental protection energy conservation, new energy vehicles has gradually become the focus of the industry. July 2010, Shandong Qingdao Yi Green Star Electric Bus Expo as the designated car service, has been put into mass production and use of SDL6120EVG single layer of pure electric city bus and SDL6110EVSG type double electric city bus, caused the parties to participate Council’s attention.

    【Universal Battery

    With it, tens of thousands of electric cars cheaper

    Cheap, safe, pollution-free, unlimited recycling, if we can achieve these goals, the power can be described as the family car into the ordinary people just around the corner. But the world aiming at such a “universal battery” it? At yesterday’s presentation to highlight the China University of Technology School of Engineering Sciences zinc-air battery Laboratory Dr. Xu Xianzhi told reporters that it could.

    “This kind of battery used in electric cars, this car certainly cheaper price of tens of thousands.” Dr Tsui is currently operating with lithium powered buses, for example, this car uses lithium system, more than 10,000 while only a small battery charge, if any charge faster, some slower charge will affect the life and the results, so still need to add an intelligent control system. “So the bus station of pure power, low price certainly can not, because the costs are higher.”

    A bus, price may be a million, but the public, a price of more than 100,000 private cars, 20 million, may have to hesitate. Pure electric cars currently on the market, the biggest problem is the battery. “Some of the quality of pass, but life is short, a few years we should change the batteries; some more stable performance, but charge a lot of trouble; there’s to be both, such as some high-end brand concept car, the price is too expensive people can not stand. “and Dr. Xu lithium battery price is only 1 / 5 or 1 / 10, a car can be several million less.

    According to reports, Dr. Xu’s team on the basis of this new battery specially developed “urban transportation battery”, mixed with lithium can also be used individually zinc-air battery. “We have proved that using zinc-air battery-powered a 1 ton heavy truck, you can only charge 400 km continuous run time. Commuted down, so the use of a car costs, including fees charged, the battery depreciation, maintenance costs and so on, with the current cars burn less gasoline, can afford private cars, people can afford, can afford. ”

    Even more interesting is that this zinc-air battery for the electric vehicle and is equipped with charging stations, battery recycling system is also pure green pollution-free. “Our design is for old batteries off, pulled recycling plant, the battery inside the electrolytic cell where zinc oxide in zinc recovery as normal the next day as the new battery will continue to use the same! This cycle can theoretically many times to be kept for more than 10 years, will be able to reuse water activation. and this recycling plant is also used in wind power, solar energy these truly green. ”

    Zinc-air battery developed at the international results are rare. It is learned that after Hong Kong’s CITIC Pacific chairman Larry Yung, son of former Chinese and the project was, and to carry out inspection, the present mainland China Aviation Technology Group in Beijing has invested in a similar project, but Dr. Xu is the Beijing project consultants. Now, he is interested in out of Hefei, find suitable investor, this promising industrial projects.

    】 【Irradiating apparatus

    According to a second, a ham, not decaying 5 years

    One ham actually have time to decay 5 years, and no use of additives, how is this possible? From the University of Science and Technology of China, “Industrial Irradiation Accelerator” to achieve. Moreover, such irradiating apparatus is different from the current domestic common irradiation sources, is completely electric, VGP-BPS9 , VGP-BPS9/B  very safe, no harm to human body.

    In the supermarket, imported fresh has always belonged to “the aristocracy of food.” According to regulations, these expensive taste, before exporting to go through radiation treatment. In addition to fruits and vegetables, and herbs, soy products and other requirements are the same. Reported that after irradiation of food, medicine and medical apparatus, not only sterilization, pest control, disinfection, inhibition of seed germination, and even several times to extend the shelf. In USTC’s laboratory, the preserved an ordinary ham, it’s time after irradiation is 2005, so far, it looks still intact, a little meat there is no sign of rot!

    It is understood that technology is mainly two kinds of radiation, a cobalt source used in China currently uses more, but with safety problems of nuclear waste disposal and pollution problems is a big problem. In the United States and other developed countries, have generally abandoned cobalt source radiation, and to electron irradiation. USTC show to be industrialization of this project was part of an electronic post-irradiation, no environmental harm, as long as power outages, irradiation also natural stop.

    Today, Hefei crayfish also “stick” the irradiation of light. The project leader, Professor Yi-Lin told reporters, electron irradiation on materials processing is almost instantaneous. This piece of equipment similar to our common work station checkpoint, items shipped from the endless conveyor belt to the instrument, the out of hours already completed. “We recently received a single live on the property Hefei crayfish shrimp are irradiated to prolong the freshness of meat, so, Hefei lobster shipped to foreign countries even if no problem, eat up, VGP-BPS9/S and when a sample in Hefei ! “

  • According to foreign media reported yesterday, Daimler CEO Zetsche (DieterZetsche) Thursday said the company will become the leading manufacturer of electric vehicle batteries GD761 , TD347 , RN873 , GW240 , but the problem is his latest business partner - Renault (RenaultSA) Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn (CarlosGhosn) has the same idea.

    Zetsche and Ghosn had committed, when they began to develop electric car will produce the best batteries, making the two companies co-operation has not yet started even when planted in a potential conflict. Last week, Daimler and Renault swap 3.1% stake, signed a joint agreement to develop cars and engines, but did not mention the battery issue. On the contrary, the two companies will in the Smart and the Twingo cars which company installed the battery to compete, both cars are the two sides will jointly develop 2013 models Latitude D820 battery , Latitude D830 battery .

    Daimler is the world’s second-largest luxury car maker Renault is France’s second largest car manufacturer, the two companies will be regarded as the power storage and management technology to clean the key factors driving change. Daimler’s development department head Thomas Weber (ThomasWeber) had an interview in March, said the next vehicle the “heart” is not the engine, but the battery.

    Consulting company Frost & Sullivan in London, head of automotive research AnilValsan said: “Traditionally, Daimler has been reluctant to give up their own technological development, a road company. Because Daimler battery may have technical advantages, U4873 , D5318 the Renault and Nissan Motor solution may ultimately be more cost competitive as the goal. ”

    Zetsche to shareholders in yesterday, said: “DaimlerChrysler’s goal is to become a pioneer in the field of electronic mobile, this goal will be realized. When the alternative drive system in the next few years into the large-scale production, we will share leading competitive advantage. ”

    At the same time, Ghosn also plans to partner with Nissan joint cooperation, Jean Reno to become zero-emission vehicles in the field of global leadership. Renault Motor created under the program, the company will launch the program began in December, when the company will produce one kind of up to 5 people electric vehicle, the vehicle re-charging after the Kechi Xu driving time is 100 miles ( approximately 161 km).
