Motorola MOTOSMART PLUS Lands in Chile - Softpedia
The mid-budget Android phone is currently available in most markets across the globe, but under different names. Motorola Mobility recently announced the immediate availability of the MOTOLUXE in Chile.
However, the smartphone is known as MOTOSMART PLUS and comes with the same features as the standard MOTOLUXE model.
No word on the price of the smartphone, but Motorola confirmed the MOTOSMART PLUS is now available for purchase through all major carriers in the country.Aimed at trendsetters who are looking to buy their first Android smartphone, Motorola MOTOSMART PLUS sets itself apart from other devices in its price range thanks to the included lanyard slot that lights up when users miss a call, receive a text or an email.
The MOTOSMART PLUS is powered by Google's Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread operating system integrated with MotoSwitch UI 2.0. The latter provides users with quick access to the most frequently called contacts or used apps.
Furthermore, the smartphone is equipped with a 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227A-0 processor, which is complemented by an Adreno 200 GPU, 1GB of ROM, 512MB of RAM, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
It is also worth mentioning the MOTOSMART PLUS comes with a free 8GB memory card in the sales package. The device sports a large 4.0-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 854 pixels resolution.
On the back, the handset boasts an impressive 8-megapixel rear photo snapper, which features autofocus, LED flash and video recording. There's also a secondary VGA front-facing camera for video calls.

Leaked iPhone 5 Photos Appear on Blog; But Are They Real? (PICTURES) - Christian Post
A Chinese tech blog has published images of what it purports to be leaked photos of the new iPhone, the iPhone 5.
As usual Apple is keeping hush on all things regarding its upcoming devices, but the iPhone 5 has still become one of the most anticipated tech devices in recent years.
The leaked images reveal a sleek, beautiful design, however, the photos were quickly revealed to be fake, and the work of a 36 year old industrial designer. Dutch designer Martin Hajek has said, according to Fox News: "It's been amazing and a lot of fun to see how many 'knowledgable' people fell for them."
He added, "It's a testimony to how embedded Apple has become in our daily life."
The photos were featured widely on tech blogs and review sites, and sparked great interest until they were revealed as fake.
Hajek created the photos himself and posted them on his Flickr site. He created the image as a combination of some of the other leaked images seen over recent months on the various tech blogs. Hajek has said, "As a (former) industrial designer I like to play around with 3D modeling and visualizing. Apple's unreleased products lend themselves perfectly to play with."

In other iPhone 5 rumors, just over a week ago a new video has leaked onto the Internet that shows what could be the back plate for the next-generation iPhone.
However, this is not the first time this component has popped up. Back in May, high resolution photos of both black and white next-generation iPhone backs appeared on various tech sites.
The backs in the images and in the new video show a new, thinner design for the iPhone with a smaller dock connector, new speaker grills, and a new metal back plate.
The video of the new component was posted up by a parts reseller known as ETradeSupply. The company gives a hands-on demonstration of the iPhone part.
Motorola wants to turn your mobile phone’s display into a speaker - Extreme Tech
In an effort to change the way you use your mobile device, Motorola Mobility filed an interesting application to the US Patent and Trademark Office. Stating that it has found a way to create a “usable audio area” out of the screen of a mobile device, the hardware manufacturer aims to turn the touchscreen of your smartphone or tablet into a fully functioning speaker. The design would allow the user to hear audio both privately and in speakerphone mode.
The patent describes the screen technology as a free-floating display lens that is affixed to the rest of the device by a “stiffener ring” that is supported by a piezoelectric structure. In layman’s terms, Motorola Mobility proposed a method to transmit sound using an electrical signal that is then made audible by means of tiny vibrations. In addition, the screen will be capable of giving haptic feedback when selections made.
If this technology actually sees the light of day, it could drastically change the way that mobile devices look and act like. It’s something that both Motorola Mobility, and its new owner Google, could use to pick up the sales performance of the division after the closing of a $12.5 billion acquisition deal last May. Traditionally mobile devices are manufactured with a screen and speaker setup that are totally different pieces of hardware — if Motorola could patent this new technology, then it’s not out of the question that consumers will see a new paradigm in device design.
A piezoelectric speaker
This isn’t the first time that a company has sought to make viewing screens a dual-purpose device. Apple in 2006 filed a patent application for a screen that had thousands of pixel-sized cameras embedded into an LCD screen so that you could be looking into the camera no matter where your attention was while you were on a video conference. The hope was that Apple would add that tech into the iPhone, but neither desktop monitors or any mobile device from Cupertino has come with that feature installed. Of course back in 2006, there weren’t nearly as many smartphones or tablets on the market as there are today.
As with any patent application, there’s no guarantee or timeline for the appearance of this new screen-speaker technology. Although with Google working hard to try and jump start Android from its recent flat performance, I would hazard a guess that we could see this patent see the light of day sometime in the near future.

Could Chip Manufacturers be Producing 4G LTE Chips for iPhone 5? - ibtimes.co.uk

The sources further revealed that Qualcomm needed about 10,000 28nm 12in wafers or one-third of the 28nm capacity at TSMC for the production of 4G chips for the iPhone. The report also quoted the sources as saying Nvidia would also take up about 10,000 units of 28nm wafer capacity at TSMC, leaving Broadcom, TI, Altera, Xilinx and other chipmakers to share the remaining 28nm wafers. It was noted that it would be difficult for TSMC to meet market demand for 28nm process until it ramped up its 28nm wafer starts to 50,000 units a month around the fourth quarter of 2012
STMicroelectronics is said to have increased its output of Micro Electro Mechanical (MEMS) devices, whereas NXP and TI are building inventory analog Integrated circuits (ICs) for iPhones.
It was earlier rumored that Qualcomm would manufacture 4G LTE chips for the iPhone 5. A report by Apple Insider suggested that analyst Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster sent a note to investors stating Qualcomm was facing supply issues for its 28nm LTE baseband. The news led Munster to believe in an October launch for the iPhone.
"It is more likely the iPhone launches in October given Qualcomm commentary around 28nm chip supply. We believe Apple will include LTE in the iPhone 5 as an important in the product update," said Munster.
Apple is expected to utilise Qualcomm's MDM9615 LTE chip, which supports both voice and data connections on high-speed 4G LTE networks. Moreover Apple was in the process of testing and evaluating potential components for the next iPhone.
