DigiTimes reports that Google is developing a very cheap tablet, containing not more than $ 99 will cost.

The Asian site writes that Google is aiming for a breakthrough in the tablet market. That would Google want to do by his own portfolio of tablets to expand. Currently, Google already has two irons in the fire: the Nexus Nexus 7 and 10.

Both of which, due to their specifications, rather cheap on the market. At the bottom of the market is still earning more, Google could find, and therefore initiated the development of a third tablet which should be much cheaper than the rest. This super cheap tablet market will undoubtedly quite shake, expected DigiTimes, and a decline in prices of other brands cause. 

The Google Nexus 7 is doing with its price tag of 199-249 dollars (for the 8 - and 16/32 GB models) bad well on the market, this little tablet is expected to end this year 4.3 million times on the counter. Google that twenty percent of the tablet market does, if you have the iPad completely disregarded. Next year will be an even bigger sales expected. Eventually thinks DigiTimes that the Nexus 7 in 2013 had sales of 19 million copies will come, half of all tablets - which again as the iPad is excluded. Our review of the Nexus 7 is here recounted.

New LTE technology doubles battery life of phones

New developments in the field of LTE/4G promise not only high-speed internet to smartphones, but also to double the battery life.

Phone Masts consume much unnecessary energy because constantly communicating with devices, even when they are offline. Also, the current technology requires that a phone that only mobile internet consumed and not calling, constantly communicates with the nearest phone mast. This takes a lot of power, both the phone mast if the connected phone. Calculated that telephone masts 65 percent consume unnecessary power. It costs $ 23 billion per year. 

At the MWC 2013, researchers present a solution. Which is called "asymmetric multilevel outphasing '. Basically unnecessary signal exchanges between phone masts and phones are off, what a lot of power saving, and according to the researchers, the battery life of a smartphone can even double. This requires that the power amplifier in the phone masts can be adjusted so that it easier to switch between various voltages, and can always choose the least power. 

Switching to a different voltage up to twenty million times per second, so there is never too much power is consumed. The technology is still being tested in laboratories. The company Eta Devices will the technology in February at the MWC in Barcelona presenting. Then even more clear about adjustments smartphone chips themselves, so less power is consumed. 

Because only phone signals are actually used, power to ask. This will require an adaptation of the various telephone protocols to telcos worldwide use. Current phones are not suitable, there must be a new chip in which all telephone protocols in the world can handle. Which do not yet exist, the iPhone 5 has five different chips for example to include all possible networks that can.
