GSM World

At the 3GSM World Congress held in Barcelona in February, initiatives were taken to promote this upcoming trend. From the first ever premiers of short Bollywood movies on cell phones to unveiling movies made for cell phones, the event set the bugle for the emergence of cell phones as the fourth screen.

When the world’s largest entertainment industry begins taking serious business. As a part of Bollywood mobile initiative, two short films, zahir and Matrimony, Directed by sanjay Gupta of Kaante and zinda fame were prenmiered at the event. The movies are a part of ‘Dus Kahaniyaan’, a compilation of 10 short films. The initiative is promoted by Roam ware-global flaming and value-added solutions provider, Hungama-the developers, aggregators and publishers ofo Indian entertainment and Bollywood content and the GSM Association. “Next generation home theatres will be the size ofo a cellphone,” said Neeraj Roy, CEO, Hungama Mobile.

Another mention worthy initiative was the tken by the Sundance Institute. Founded by Robert Redford, the institute supports and promotes artists and filmmakers from across the world.

O2’s flame to fame

O2 showcased its day flame at the event. Its wide 3.6 inch VGA display caught our eye at once. Knowing that the device has been equipped with an NVIDIA Go force chip, we expected it to have a superior graphics quality. And we were not disappointed after we switched it on for a first hand experience. The graphics are meme rising and the Flame would be a boon for mobile gaming enthusiasts (thanks to the large display). The handheld supports TV out support as well and we are sure people wouldn’t mind watching TV and movies on the wide screen.

Other features include 3G support, extendable memory up to 2GB and a 2 megapixel camera. Apart from the flame, the Xda Atom Life was also put up on display at the exposition.

The juiciest Berry

There was no way Research in Motion could have escaped the race for being slim. At the 3GSM World Congress, they launched what they are claiming to be their slimmest Smartphone-the BlackBerry 8800. The quad-band device is slim only in terms of the literal width. It packs in a wide array of features like GPA (including BlackBerry maps), noise cancellation, speaker and independent voice recognition for voice activated dialing. Other features include multimedia support for voice and data applications like e-mail and text messaging.

The device has a QVGA display along with a built-in light sensing technology that automatically adjusts the brightness. The famous trackball navigation brings with it the ease of navigation.

Microsystems

Microelectronics has been around for some time now. On the drawing boards are experiments to put sensors and actuators on the same chip. Novel sensors and actuators will enable whole new application domains that are not possible based on the conventional technology solutions.

Microsystems and nanotechnology are the next frontiers. It is very important for India to establish a leadership role in this emerging area. A National Programme on Micro and Smart Systems will specifically look at three application areas – automobile, aerospace and bio-sensors.

“At the micro level, physics of the material will not change,” said Dr Atre. However, at the nano level the physics changes. As you are assembling nano devices atom by atom, simple things like color change. Gold, for instance will have a different color at the nano level. Physical properties will also change.

Chemical Sensors

Nanotechnology can even be used to combat terrorism. Chips with chemical sensors can be deployed at any place and which will detect the small vapour given out by explosives. It works on a principle called EGFET (Extended Gate Field Effect Transistor). A transistor in a chip is exposed to some chemicals. Depending on how the chemicals behave at the gate of the transistor, the current through the transistor changes thus enabling a compact chemical detector.

The transistor gate is functionalised with an appropriate sensor film that is exposed to the environment and it can then detect the corresponding target materials like RDX.
