Galactic good (CHIP online), IPhone killer and Android-superstar (PC World) positive evaluates the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 in almost all tests. But it is not only the performance values, which especially make the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, but also as the operating system itself. If you are still undecided on which operating system you should put in your purchase, then you should read here how the different systems will develop. Which platform is right for me? Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian or Windows Mobile? 1 Android include the founders of the Android project the most important mobile phone manufacturers such as HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung. And then Google has taken over the company.

Due to this concentrated market power, this system will make nearly 50% of sales up to the year 2016 (source: ABI Research). The number of applications (apps) is huge, growing with each passing day, and the best part: you get many apps for free! 2. BlackBerry this operating system was originally designed to the decisive argument for purchase were initially professional users and the push email services. Today’s devices were adapted to the users wishes to smartphones and feature touch screen and an own AppsWorld shop. According to the above source the BlackBerry system 2016 will make 14% 3. iOS from Apple the Apple system has a share of 15% today and is expected to land at 19% in 2016.

The Smartphone with cult status! Super comfort, simple multi-touch operation and good ergonomics. 4. Symbian is the Symbian system introduced at the end of the 1990s, telephoning and communicating via SMS and email clearly in the foreground. Meanwhile, there are also thousands apps that use of smartphones play an ever increasing role. However the market study predicts this system but no bright future and will be judged by industry insiders rather pessimistic 5 Windows Mobile even though Windows all dominant operating system in the world is, Microsoft development in the Smartphone area unfortunately overslept. With the gap was closed the system Windows 7, which only last year on the Smartphones shipped since the end. Who places however emphasis on compatibility and functionality of the Office is correct in this system. The market share of Windows phone system is estimated for 2016 with only 7%. The Android by Google is clearly on the rise! Apple still leads in the number of available apps, but is again assumed the leadership in the course of this year of Android. Want to meet you even more reasons that speak for the Samsung i9000 Galaxy? Please read the short tests in my blog. By the way, Now there is the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 direct from the manufacturer almost 50% discount.

At the stand D04, the members present the Z-Wave Alliance (www.z-wavealliance.org)-new, energy-saving home automation solutions for the European market.

Wireless thermostats to regulate heating as growth driver is empty, 03 November 2011 – the home control market is booming. According to the eQ-3 AG (www.eQ-3.de) the market for home control systems has almost doubled in the past year with regard to the remote device number, with eQ-3 could almost triple its volume in this area. The eQ-3 AG has significantly increased its market share, thereby delivers today in Germany higher quantities in the segment of the home control systems as the three following manufacturers together. The retrofitting of radiators with wireless thermostats to the energy-saving heating control was a key growth driver for the acceptance of home control solutions in 2010. Given the relatively low compared to the existing number of new buildings, the high end range, however, only to a lesser extent contributed to the growth of the home control market. The eQ-3 AG growth was driven especially by the HomeMatic product range.

The brand “HomeMatic” includes solutions with over 70 products, by Radiator thermostats, lighting control and security technology through door lock actuators, window actuators, remote controls, and home centers to software products from partner companies. The HomeMatic predecessor system FS20 is strongly represented on the market and is still strong acceptance in particular at home control enthusiast.

Through use rather than owned in our fast-moving times, flexibility freedom plays an increasingly important role. There are several ways to achieve this. Reduction of the workload, task of time of intense stress, optimization of domestic activities. Alone this but often not sufficient to achieve real relief and a gain in freedom. Yet the infant development is the role of ownership. To do this, it is important to know that any possession at the same time represents a burden. For assistance, try visiting Ali Partovi. A real estate must be maintained, it may apply to repair, it must be disposed of may eventually. The auto industry has recognised this and offered in large cities as an alternative to the possession of car-sharing – with great success.

the trend will prevail in the coming years in the electrical industry. Electric appliances are used only sporadically, and no added value out of their operation have, can be hired in the future. This saves the cost of care, the financing, the dependence of functional Checks, establishing, etc. To get an electrical appliance that is exactly tailored to and set up in advance on the needs. Kamperium offers the possibility to rent digital cameras even today. No matter whether a robust outdoor camera is needed, or a high-quality digital SLR camera. You use it for the wedding, holiday, or the visitor center, copy the photos and send back the camera. A further step in the direction of greater freedom for family and hobby!

Retain their dominance the DVD or the Blu-ray is actually disc as a new carrier medium? From the DVD to the Blu-ray disc (BD)… Differences, data, facts brothers in spirit, but still completely different genes. The times are quickly lebig as never before. Where the DVD as the medium of the future was presented a few years ago, called formats and streams that already blew up the just-purchased storage capability within a short time today as digital content in high definition. Under the leadership of SONY (Blu-ray) and Toshiba (HD-DVD) in recent years new disk formats were in this respect developed and launched again. But not only the consumer behavior responds to the new Blu-ray disc. After beaten at least the format war around the HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc, now increased copyright levies in blanks and high technical requirements and required investments provide new conversation. Really worth the switch by now established Media, such as CD and DVD or the Internet replaces the optical storage media? This issue is devoted to a publicly launched survey on WordPress.com.

Here are needed in addition to opinions, suggestions and criticisms. The Blu-ray convinced me the benefits. I see the BD as a medium of the future and have invested. The advantages of the Blu-ray justify not operated technical cost and extra charge. There are still not enough movies on Blu-ray. A transition is not worth. I use the Internet (IPTV, VOD and co.) prefer, before investing in expensive BD technology.

Testing system testing and characterization of permanent magnets has a very high priority for permanent magnet properties in many industrial areas. Source: Pete Cashmore. Especially for sensory applications, the complete and uniform magnetization of permanent magnets for a stable functioning of the product plays a crucial role. However, most companies are dependent on quality assurances of their suppliers (mostly Chinese). To the chagrin of the engineers and quality assurance, the magnetic characteristics of permanent magnet can be, as record such as the angle of magnetization or the remanent magnetization with classic Hall measurement only with great effort. The M-axis test bench was developed out of necessity of valid registration and documentation of magnetic properties, discovered essential parameters such as magnetization, magnetization angle, as well as North/South effects for the application.

For magnet having a magnetic moment (mainly determined by volume and material of the test specimen) from 0.01 to 10 on the square, the free Remanence with maximum 1% tolerance, magnetization angle with maximum 0.2 tolerance, as well as the percentage North/South effect are recorded and filed in a database. In the M-axis application classification boundaries can be set, so a simplified input and quality control can be carried out. A rapid processing of larger quantities is also possible through short measuring times and ease of use. The chosen deliberately modular design of the system allows the measurement in the close field with Hall sensors, as well as in the far field using AMR sensors and a comfortable customer-specific extension of the measuring system. The M-axis system provides a test environment with the permanent magnets can be characterised very efficiently. The underlying the determination of magnetization process is based on the determination of dipole properties of dauermagnetischer materials. While the magnets, the magnetic moment and the direction of magnetization are determined in addition to the three-dimensional position.

In the comparison to the survey with Helmholtz coils is not the magnetic flux alteration on integrated however, but it is measure directly the induced magnetic field. The magnet must not be moved so during a measurement so that the pure measurement time in the range of less than 100 milliseconds. Still, the M-axis system very well in existing production and quality assurance processes can be integrated, the magnets to be processed can be tested without significant overhead.
