Curved Screen Smartphones??

Samsung has quietly given a name to its flexible AMOLED technology in a sign it's getting closer to a real launch. Now called Youm, it makes the thin film transistor and the encapsulation entirely out of film instead of glass. The changes not only let it bend and fold freely but, according to Samsung, make it "unbreakable," thinner, and lighter.

The company has fully committed to the name and has trademarks with the USPTO. They cover multiple different forms of AMOLED screens to keep the Youm name active in the long term.

Samsung starts bulk production of flexible displays sometime during the spring and, if on track, could be in a shipping product before the end of 2012. Among the candidates could be things as simple as curved-screen smartphones and wristwatches to folding phones and portable devices whose displays unfold.

Nexus 7 - I Pad by Google

 The much-awaited tablet called Nexus 7 has been released during the first day of the Google I/O conference that will last for almost three days. Analysts were, thus, able to get a glimpse of the new device and test Google’s new operating system, Android 4.1. 

In addition to the Jelly Bean system, Google endowed Nexus 7 with many other improved options. The tablet is available in two versions, one with 8 GB and another one with 16 GB. The device comes with a 1.2-megapixel front camera, a Tegra 3 processor, as well as a seven-inch (17 cm) 1280 x 800 HD display. Depending on the type of activity you perform with the device, the tablet’s battery life could last up to eight hours.

Google has collaborated with the Taiwanese company, Asus, for the production of Nexus 7. Customers will spend approximately $209 for the 8 GB version and $259 if they want to purchase the 16 GB model. Analysts think the device is a strong competitor for Amazon's Kindle Fire because both tablets run with Google’s Android. The other tablets available on the market, such as, Microsoft’s Surface and iPad are much too expensive to be taken into consideration as competitors for Google’s Nexus.

The online company made several other important announcements on Wednesday. Android Market was, thus, replaced by Google Play, an online store where tablet and smartphone users can acquire music, movies, books and mobile applications. Given that the multinational corporation is trying to compete with Apple and Amazon’s online stores, Google Play will expand its services by offering TV shows, movies and even magazines to its customers.
Nexus Q is the second device that was released during the Wednesday conference. The media streaming device was designed to be used with a stereo system or a TV in order to access You Tube and Google play with the help of an Android-based smartphone or a tablet.

Google Glass

While they're not the full-on, head-up-display glasses that was previewed in the Project Glass demo video below, they will offer some interesting functionality.

What are they?

Google Glass Explorer Edition is the first product to come out of the company's Project Glass. At its most basic level, the Glass is a device that lets you show and interact with the world around you, without disconnecting from it.

The Glass is designed to be out of the way, so it doesn't interfere with your activity. According to Google, it weighs less than most sunglasses. On the side is a touch pad for control, on top is a button for shooting photos and videos with the built-in camera, and there's a small information display positioned above the eye, just out of the line of sight.

The actual spec details that were given were pretty light, other than to say that it has a camera, multiple radios for data communication, a speaker and a mic and a gyroscope, so the Glass can tell your position and orientation, at all times.

What can I do with them?

While they may eventually lead you through every aspect of your waking life, in their current state of development, it looks like you'll be able to do things such as have Google+ Hangouts, live-stream video, snap pictures or shoot some movies and share what you capture with little effort. Google search is almost certain to be part of its early capabilities, as well.

What's it like to wear them?
CNET's own Rafe Needleman was one of the first journalists to get hands-on (heads-on?) with the prototype Google Glass product. Rafe was allowed to try on the prototype glasses, offered by Google co-founder Sergey Brin. He reports:

The glasses have audio output to the right ear only, and there's no ear bud — the sound just leaks into space. Best practice is to cup your hand over your ear and the glasses temple, to amplify the sound. This works well, and Brin says the social gesture of cupping your hand over your ear alerts people near you that you are paying attention to the device.

Disabled were all the really cool features — SMS, alerts and the capability to read Brin's email. Brin says that he has his glasses set up to not bother him with email text. He gets an audible alert when a high-priority email comes in, and only if he looks up (tilts his head up) does the message display.

The titanium-framed glasses headset was comfortable and very light. I had to take off my prescription lenses to wear the Google Glasses, but Google designer Isabelle Olsson (a former eyewear designer) says the company is working with glasses manufacturers, to serve glasses-wearing users.

Want now! When can I get mine?

Not anytime soon. The Google Glass Explorer Edition is only available to developers as a pre-order for US-based I/O attendees for US$1500, and they won't receive them until early 2013. Brin has said that consumers can expect Google Glass to become available in 2014.

Raghavendra Swami

Photo from Ulu Tiram Ragavendra Illam

Raghavendra Swami (1595–1671 CE) was a Hindu saint and philosopher who served as the head of the Sri Mutt in Kumbakonam from 1624 to 1636. He wrote a commentary Sudha Parimala on the Nyaya Sudha, an exposition of Dvaita philosophy. His samadhi in Mantralayam in the present-day Andhra Pradesh is an important place of pilgrimage. The numerous miracles he performed have led to him being worshipped even today in the form of god and he is believed to be the saviour for those who placed faith in him.

Raghavendra was born Venkatanatha in the town of Bhuvanagiri in the present-day Tamil Nadu to Kannada-speaking Madhwa Brahmin parents in 1595, 1598 or 1601. After having his initial education under his brother-in-law Lakshminarasimhachar, Venkatanatha was admitted to the Sri Mutt in Kumbakonam where he took sanyasa and adopted the name Raghavendra Theertha. Raghavendra succeeded his guru Sudheendra Theertha as the head of the Sri Mutt and served from 1624 to 1636. He travelled all over South India expounding Madhvacharya's Dvaita philosophy and is attributed with a number of miracles. In 1671, after assuring his disciples in a speech that he will be in spirit with them for the next eight hundred years, Raghavendra attained samadhi at Mantralayam.
