A few months ago about May some vendors are introducing the concept of future cell phone technology. On average these vendors place more emphasis on gorgeous design, ease of use and its features. It is not impossible such technology would one day become a reality. Of the many offered by vendors about the future mobile concepts, let’s see from a major vendor Nokia.

This vendor is working closely with BenQ Siemens to spawn future cell phone technology with the name of Nokia Aeon. The concept is basically a touch screen that covers the entire surface to replace the traditional keypad. There is another Nokia 888 with a very thin form, can bend itself when there is an incoming call or alarm. This concept is also a full touch screen and voice recognation. One more from the collaboration with the University of Cambridge to launch the Nokia Morph, the concept of nano-tech phone that is able to make the Morph phone to be transformed as user desires.

Energy issue became one of the world’s attention following the oil price which had rocketed and availability of dwindling reserves. Nokia recently stated that in the next few years, their future cell phone technology will be able to charge your cell phone using radio waves that exists all around us. Researchers at the Nokia Research Centre, Cambridge (UK) is working hard to create a technology which is able to collect a small amount of energy from radio waves and TV.

This mobile phone will take low-frequency radio waves at 500 megahertz to 10 gigahertz, which is derived from: broadcast TV, microwave ovens, mobile phones, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, GPS, radio-and two-way radio. According to his theory, the two circuits will be able to receive and convert the free energy into electrical current to charge the battery on a cell phone. If this future cell phone technology is able to be manifested, then surely Nokia will again be a leader in this industry.

Cell phone radiation facts: Supporting Parties

• Parties are convinced that the phone is dangerous, filed claims to strengthen his opinion. One of the allegations about the dangers of cell phone posted to researchers at the International EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Collaborative. According to them, especially in mobile phone usage among children, can cause brain tumors.
• Cell phones also ‘blamed’ can cause the sperm of men ‘slaughtered’. This claim was made ??by experts at the Cleveland Clinic health care centers, the United States. These experts suspect decreased sperm count in men may be caused by electromagnetic waves of mobile phones.
• Other claims about the dangers of cell phones also try proffered by Turkish researchers. They say that putting the phone on the waist can affect bone density aka causes bone loss in the area around the pelvis.

Cell phone radiation facts: Opposing Parties

Not everyone agreed with the claims about the dangers of cell phones, then the research to ‘defend’ the phone was launched. One who appeared as the ‘defender’ phones are researchers at The Danish Cancer Society.

• In a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute mentioned that the electromagnetic frequencies coming out of the phone does not affect the biological mechanisms in the human body. They mention that the trend of brain tumors due to cell phones is not true.
• One more plea to try to confront the notion of mobile phones made ??by researchers at the University of South Florida, United States. They claim, rather than harmful, cell phone electromagnetic waves can actually protect people from Alzheimer’s aka dementia.

However, this denial does not necessarily end the long debate about the impact of mobile phone usage. It may be that later would emerge a new study, both of which will strengthen the claims about the dangers of cell phones or who deny it. However the opinion about cell phone radiation facts should make us as users to be more careful, regardless of right or not such research.

Android is the operating system for mobile phones based on Linux (the explanation of android phone from wiki). Initially, Google Inc. bought Android Inc., newcomers who make software for mobile phones. Android provides an open platform for developers to create their own applications to be used by various mobile devices such as smartphones and computer tablets.

Then to develop Android phone, Google formed the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 34 companies for hardware, software, and telecommunications, including Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, T-Mobile, and Nvidia. In this world there are two types of distributors for Android operating system. The first fully supported by Google or Google Mail Services (GMS) and the second is a completely free distribution without direct support from Google’s, otherwise known as the Open Handset Distribution (OHD).

So Android phone is a phone or mobile phone uses Android operating system.
