Weekly manufacturers of high-tech products surprise and delight us with new products. Tracking the announcements of all devices and programs is not easy, but choosing really worthy is even more difficult.
In our today Top 5 technological innovations of the week presents the most interesting of the world of technology according to the portal bigmir.net. The tablet, headphones, a huge TV, "OS" and even a flying bike were submitted by the developers to the public by the end of June this year.
5. Microsoft's Surface tablet
It is positioned as a competitor to the "apple" iPad. According to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Surface is the first of a whole family of tablet computers to be released in the near future. At the presentation, two versions of the technological novelty were shown. The first runs on Windows RT, weighs about 680 g and has a thickness of 9.3 mm. Noteworthy is the best WiFi support available on the tablet market - the 2 × 2 MIMO antenna. Using special magnets, you can attach a 3 mm thick removable Touch Cover keyboard to the tablet. The second version is larger than its brother - 910 g with a thickness of about 14 mm. This modification will work under Windows 8 Pro. If the younger version has 32 or 64 GB of internal memory, the older one already offers 128 GB. The start of sales will have to wait more than one week - it is planned for the fall. Moreover, the younger model will begin to be sold 3 months earlier than the older.
4. 90-inch Sharp Aquos LED TV
has the largest diagonal in the world. The novelty has a height of 120 cm, with a thickness of 12.7 cm. The weight of the device is 63.5 kg. Such a TV cannot be called portable, but experts praised the image quality. The Full HD display has a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and is energy efficient, consuming only 75 watts. To watch movies in 3D, a pair of glasses is supplied with the TV. The declared value of a technological masterpiece is $ 11,000. It is likely that he will succeed as an advertising medium or a mini-movie theater and will take his place in the top of the best televisions of the year.
3. FBike Flying Bike
- a technological breakthrough announced by Czech engineers. Six rotors, rotating with electric motors, turn a regular bike ride into an exciting flight. While this is only a concept, but the production of the first prototype is scheduled for August this year. The principle of moving around the earth is no different from the usual for all of us. However, when you press the switch, the FBike soars into the air with the passenger. True, it will not work effectively to take off in the process of movement - ascent is possible only from a static state. The stable position of the FBike in flight will be monitored using position sensors, gyroscopes and accelerometers. It is unlikely that this vehicle will ever go into mass production, but the enthusiasm of the Czech Kulibins deserves a place in our Top-5 today.
2. Windows Phone 8 operating system,
announced last week, is designed to assure users that Microsoft has corrected all technological flaws, taking into account the experience of operating Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 7.5. Smartphones running previous OS versions are not yet very active. The novelty will go into series on devices from Samsung, HTC, Huawei and Nokia. Users should appreciate the new screen resolutions - 1280 × 720 and 1280 × 768, support for multi-core processors and micro-SD cards, an updated interface and IE10 browser. Windows Phone 8 is probably the most anticipated among the new products of our Top 5.
1. Fanny Wang 3003 Noise-Canceling Noise Canceling Headphones
- salvation for those who are trying to enjoy their favorite music or film in a noisy environment. Designer David Adam assures that not a single extraneous sound will penetrate the “cancel extraneous sound” system. Each cup of headphones has two microphones - outside and inside. Built-in electronics analyzes the information coming from the microphones, and then modulates the sound to protect the listener from external noise as much as possible. The manufacturer guarantees clipping of 95% of extraneous sounds. Like all previous models from Fanny Wang, the novelty of the week sits perfectly, does not put pressure on either the ears or the crown. And the material is so durable that the headphones can be almost completely straightened out without the slightest damage. Professionals claim that the noise reduction system still brings some artificiality to the sound, but for those who often happen to be in noisy places - it's just a godsend. By the way, the suppression of extraneous sounds can be turned off by simply turning the lever.
