Visa and Samsung Make Paying for Purchases Easier

// , , , , , , , 0
 How would you like to be able to use your phone as your credit card? What at one time seemed only like a futuristic dream, will soon be a reality for Samsung users.  It has now been announced that Visa and Samsung will be partnering to allow users to make mobile payments.  Visa’s NFC payment system will now be built into all future Samsung smartphones. This is not only a big step for Visa and Samsung, but it also lends to the viability and credibility of NFC payments.

 Visa and Samsung Make Paying for Purchases Easier

Essentially the way that it works, is that Visa will provide the secure element that will allow payment processors to communicate with banks.  As such, multiple payment processors and banks will be able to use this element within Samsung phones, allowing for a full variety of apps and wallets to be developed for the various processors and banks.  In many ways, Visa has won this battle for control over NFC payments.  Moreover, it is a huge setback for Google Wallet.  Google has had difficulty getting carriers to adopt its NFC. Samsung’s decision to go with Visa will further complicate Google’s aspirations to put their payment system into mobile users’ hands.
Visa is already a major player in the mobile payments market. In fact, Visa already has agreements with many mobile payment systems. Moreover, they work with Isis.  Isis is a mobile payment consortium that has the backing of multiple U.S. carriers.  Carriers that are a part of Isis include Verizon Wireless, AT&T and T-Mobile.  By partnering with Samsung, the global leader in smartphones, the two companies are perhaps uniquely poised to offer users mobile payments. Anyone that has the soon to be released Samsung Galaxy S IV will be able to use NFC payments. Therefore, what is great news for Samsung and Visa, may also be great news for the consumer.

Nokia Lumia 920's pairs up to JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker with NFC

 With NFC, just tap to connect and you’re good to go

Wherever you go, the music goes too: http://nokia.ly/Q7xJPO Get fast, no hassle access to your music with wireless NFC connection. The incredible wireless charging JBL speaker. Co-created with JBL for clear audio plus universal compatibility supporting all phones with Bluetooth.

Nokia may have partnered with Monster for its last batch of Lumia-focused audio wares, but now JBL is also in on the deal. Say hello to first product from Nokia and JBL, the successor to the Play 360 portable speaker, dubbed PlayUp. The noiseybox is packed with Bluetooth and NFC, and as for the design, it's made to complement "current and future Lumia smartphones." Like the Play 360, the PlayUp is a cylindrical, top-shooting speaker with physical volume controls, a large power button near the bottom and a 3.5mm jack for plugging in PMPs. The PlayUp weighs 760g and it measures in at 118 x 118 x 128mm -- a fair bit chunkier that the 360 (110 x 110 x 124mm and 514g). Despite the heft, the PlayUp's battery is rated for 10 hours of use, which is disappointingly just under half of the 360's replaceable cell. Charging gets handled via micro-USB and -- thankfully -- a wall adapter is included.

Nokia has demonstrated how the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 handset’s NFC capabilities can be used to enhance your audio experience with a range of JBL speakers.
At the Finnish manufacturer’s Nokia World event in New York, Nokia revealed a set of JBL speakers that can be paired to the Lumia 920 by simply tapping the phone on them.

The JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker will take over your music when tapped, streaming any music you are playing on the Nokia Lumia 920 through its own speaker system. Leave the phone resting on the top of the speaker system and not only will your phone stream music but it will also be charged in the process.
For something a little more mobile, the JBL's portable speaker range will also pair with the Nokia Lumia 920 via NFC, again by being tapped while they too double up as wireless charging devices.

Naturally, the notable change is JBL's baked-in audio expertise. The unit can pump out a healthy 89dB of volume (aided by a bass port), which isn't shabby, but still shy of the ear-ringing 120dB the $99 UE Mobile BoomBox can produce. There's no word on whether tow units can pair wireless stereo like its elder, or what version of Bluetooth is packed inside, but we'll be sure to let you know once we find out. Nokia also plans to release an app for the device to allow for remote control.
Given that Nokia has knack for consistency across its products, it's likely that the white, black, cyan and bright yellow color choices will match up with the WP 8-loaded Lumias at their September 5th unveiling. The PlayUp will be available for €149 (about $186) before the year is out, which includes a travel pouch and a 3.5mm audio cable. In the meantime, hit the source link for more details.

Designed to look similar to the Nokia Play 360 speakers from 2011, the new PlayUp speakers will be brightly coloured, come with JBL's sound smarts and deliver a maximum output of 89dB.
The speakers will offer Bluetooth connectivity as well as enjoy NFC as supported by the soon-to-be-released Windows Phone 8 just in time for the launch of the new Nokia Windows Phone 8 smartphones in September. Those wanting to can still opt to plug in a device via the 3.5mm jack.
An accessory app will be available so you can remote-control the speakers right from your phone.
The dimensions of the speaker are 118 x 118 x 128mm, and it weighs 760g.
The rechargeable battery inside will last for 10 hours in normal use, and, of course, you can run it off AC power using the charger indoors.
It will come in cyan, white and black, plus a bright yellow, says Nokia.
The JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia will begin shipping before the end of the year and will cost approximately €149.
Nokia says this is just the first of many new accessories from Harman, the brand behind the JBL speaker range.

Nokia’s Symbian Belle 801 Smartphone to Resemble N9, Lumia 800

// , , , , , , , , , 0
English: Nokia N8Image via WikipediaThere’s been morEnglish: Nokia N8Image via Wikipediae chatter of a Symbian successor to the venerable Nokia N8 in the camera phone department. The device is said to sport a 12-megapixel camera, 4-inch nHD resolution AMOLED display with a Clear Black Display screen, and Nokia Belle pre-loaded. Additionally, a leaked photo, if accurate, suggests that the Nokia 801 would bear a striking resemblance to the Lumia 800 (Windows Phone) and the Nokia N9 (MeeGo).
While the 12-megapixel is welcomed, and presumably the Nokia 801 will have a larger or better image sensor than that of its predecessor with the same megapixel count, the device won’t have the Xenon flash that the Nokia N8 has. Instead, like the new Lumias and the N9, the Nokia 801 will have dual LED flash. The plus thing is that LED flashes are getting brighter these days, but the downside is that LED flash light does not provide for as natural colors in photos as Xenon flash, and Xenon flash tends to be brighter. The device will have NFC support, a 1.4 GHz single-core processor, and 1080p HD video recording. 1080p video encoding is rare on a single-core phone as the feature is more typical on dual-core handsets today. Single-core phones usually record videos at a maximum 720p HD resolution. It’s unclear if camera phone enthusiasts will be flocking to the Nokia 801 if and when the device will be released. Prior speculations suggest that the Nokia 801 will be the last of Nokia’s Symbian hardware efforts and that the phone-maker may have cancelled other Symbian smartphones in the pipeline due to weak sales following heavy promotion of the Lumia Windows Phone series. Via: Unwired View keep up with the newest technologies and contemplate about how these will be used in the future. On this blog I'll share my thoughts about the future of technology, based on the high Tech Road Show Blog inventions of today.

The Top 10 Tech Trends For 2012

// , , , , , , , , ,

Bendable interfaces will give you a chance to zoom in, zoom out and span around a page by contorting your telephone or tablet. 


Pete Cashmore predicts which slants we'll see a greater amount of one year from now 

Driven by Facebook, more informal organizations will offer mechanized offering of clients' Web action 

Organizations, for example, Apple may utilize Siri-like voice control to supplant the television remote 

Nokia and Samsung may discharge telephones with bendable shows in 2012 

From the proceeding with ascent of tablet gadgets to the day by day arrangements fever and the reappearance of the Web Initial public offering, 2011 has been a transformative year for innovation. 

The pace of progress has ended up blisteringly quick, with customary commercial ventures - book shops, feature rental chains, daily papers - disintegrating more rapidly than we could have envisioned. 

Foreseeing what will happen in 2012, thusly, is an one in million guess: A year is basically a lifetime in the advanced period. But we can in any event make a speculation at what will happen in the early part of one year from now just by taking a gander at the patterns that are molding the last 50% of this current year. 

Here's my best gauge of a percentage of the development we'll see in 2012: 

Pete Cashmore is the author and Chief . 

1. Touch figuring 

Pete Cashmore is the founder and CEO of Mashable.com.New include routines will be the predominant pattern of 2012. Tablet machines, for example, the ipad may appear like a decent option to desktop and smart phones, I accept they're more than that: They're substitutions. Generally as the charge line (recollect that?) offered approach to graphical client interfaces, so the mouse will be superseded by touchscreens. 

The signs are self-evident: Windows 8 and Macintosh OS X Lion, the most recent desktop working frameworks, acquire substantial from their portable partners. These new interfaces basically force a touchscreen-roused interface over the conventional desktop environment. 

After some time, this half-step will turn into an entire one, and versatile working frameworks will overwhelm. The move won't be finished before the end of 2012, yet we'll be much further down the way, and utilizing machine mice considerably less frequently. 

2. Social signals 

In the social networking domain, social signals give off an impression of being the main pattern of 2012. Propelled by Facebook in September, this supposed "frictionless offering" usefulness evacuates the need to click a catch to impart media to your companions. Rather, all that you listen to, peruse or watch is consequently presented on your profile once you sanction the applicable application. 

In the event that you've seen applications, for example, Spotify or Social Peruser in your Facebook news food, you're as of now mindful of these gimmicks. 

The pattern bodes well for interpersonal organizations: With 800 million individuals officially on Facebook, its development is certain to abate. Anyhow if imparting gets to be programmed, the volume of substance on Facebook will develop at a quickened pace. There's a huge issue, on the other hand: Clients may be "crawled out" by this mechanized imparting of their Web movement and become suspicious of the applications utilizing it. 

3. NFC and versatile installments 

Google Wallet, Google's versatile installment framework, may get to be more boundless in 2012. 

Google Wallet, Google\'s mobile-payment system, may become more widespread in 2012.
One year from now is liable to be the year when portable installments bloom. While we've seen a lot of advancement in versatile installments innovation in the not so distant future - including the accomplishment of Square's iphone dongle, permitting anybody to acknowledge Visa installments - 2012 is the year of NFC. 

What's that, you ask? Close Field Correspondence basically gives you a chance to supplant your charge cards with your telephone: Wave a NFC-empowered telephone close to the Visa peruser in a store (or taxi), and the cash is deducted from your record. 

By 2013, 1 in 5 cellphones are required to be NFC-prepared. Early contenders incorporate Google Wallet, Visa Wallet, Serve (by American Express) and ISIS. 

4. Past the ipad 

On the off chance that touch registering is the future, then the ipad is without a doubt ruler. But the ipad came up against genuine rivalry in the last piece of 2011: As I composed beforehand, I expect the new Amazon Arouse Blaze to surpass the ipad in 2012. Why? Basically, the ipad costs $499 while the Blaze costs $199. 

Amazon's favorable circumstances don't stop at the value point, notwithstanding: The organization claims a whole substance store of motion pictures, ebooks, Broadcast slots and other media. With tablet gadgets, the equipment is to a degree imperative yet the substance accessible for the gadget is totally basic: With a lot of media accessible for the Blaze immediately, its an engaging suggestion. 

Why does one gadget constitute a whole pattern? All things considered, as a genuine contender to the ipad rises, content makers, merchants and even application designers may have a completely new stage on which to push their products. (Also yes, the Fuel Fire does for sure run Google's Android working framework, yet Amazon's variant is so dissimilar to other Android tablets that not clients or application engineers will see it as "yet an alternate Android gadget" - its an entire new stage.) 

5. Television All over the place 

So you thought you'd have the capacity to watch all your most loved shows online and dispose of your link membership for good? One moment! 

The link organizations have a craftiness arrangement: They'll give you a chance to watch live television, in addition to on-interest films and Broadcasted programs, on your joined gadgets in the event that you keep your link membership. Dish System, Time Warner and Comcast are among those offering the administration. 

Television All around has been buzzed about since 2010, obviously, and could be a failure - however the ascent of tablet gadgets would appear to make expanded interest for a "television in your grasp." 

6. Voice control 

Siri, the voice-control feature in the iPhone 4S, may spread to other devices.Here's an alternate pattern that is got a moderate shot of taking off in 2012: Voice control. 

Siri, the voice-control offer in the iphone 4s, may spread to different gadgets. 

The oddity of Siri on the iphone 4s - which permits you to send writings, make updates, seek the Web and a great deal additionally utilizing simply your voice - may be the begin of another pattern in voice controlled gadgets. 

Unquestionably voice control has been around for quite a long time? Yes, however it wasn't extremely precise. 

Siri and its kind characterize another period in which we talk, and our gadgets comprehend - regularly on the first endeavor. Other gadget creators will probably follow after accordingly. Additionally, Apple may utilize voice control to supplant the television remote. 

7. Spatial motions 

Other data routines are picking up footing as well: Microsoft's Kinect, for occasion, has offered climb to interfaces that utilization spatial signals. Much the same as in "Minority Report," your gadgets can be controlled just by waving your hands buzzing around. 

On account of the numerous pioneers who have hacked Kinect to work with different stages, we may see more gadgets utilizing this information strategy one year from now. 

8. Second-screen encounters 

"Second-screen encounters" is a buzz-stage among television and motion picture executives nowadays. It alludes to applications (for the most part on the ipad) that listen to the sound yield of your television and presentation substance identified with the show or motion picture you're viewing. The chances are that you as of now utilize your tablet machine or telephone while staring at the television, so there's adequate chance to make the survey encounter a more intuitive one. 

Disney as of now has second-screen applications for motion pictures, for example, "The Lion Lord" and "Bambi," while numerous Telecoms companies have comparative offerings: We can expect numerous, numerous more to be discharged in 2012. 

9. Adaptable screens 

By and by, I simply can hardly wait for adaptable screens: These amazing new bendable interfaces will give you a chance to zoom in, zoom out and span around a page just by winding your telephone or tablet. 

Nokia and Samsung have both indicated they may discharge telephones with bendable shows in 2012. The truly energizing stuff, however - like paper-dainty gadgets that move up to fit in your pocket - is still years away. 

10. Html5 

Could I crush in one more pattern? It's Html5 - the fifth emphasis of the HTML standard - and it lets designers make wealthier, more intuitive applications than any other time. 

Why does this make a difference? As designers feel burnt out on building applications for each working framework out there - from Android to ISO to Windows Telephone and past - Html5 offers the chance to manufacture an application once and have it work all over the place. 

The ascent of Html5 is certain to be quickened by a late disclosure: Adobe is murdering off Blaze for cell phones, importance one of the essential techniques for serving features and rich applications on cellular telephones is going to vanish. Html5 will fill that hole. For us as shoppers, that implies wealthier applications and encounters on all our gadgets. 

So, 2012 is about better approaches to collaborate with our gadgets through touch and voice control, new lightweight approaches to impart content, an unrest in versatile installments and a plenty of rich Web applications - also the several new developments that we've yet to cook up.

Google Testing New Location-Based Marketing Platform in Portland

// , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Google is rolling out a new advertising and marketing platform for local businesses, and this time, it’s all starting in Portland.

You may recall that earlier this month, Google launched a social, Yelp-like service for consumers. Dubbed Hotpot, the service was based on data from Google Places, but it brought an entirely new, user-friendly interface and recommendation engine.

At the time, we noted that Google had beat Facebook to the punch in launching location-based recommendations; we wondered which company would be most aggressive on places-based marketing.

While Google has already dipped its toes into location ads within Google Maps and Search (and with special programs like Boost, its Hotpot marketing scheme is something entirely new.

Here’s the original Hotpot interface.

Just like Yelp does, Google will be sending businesses window decals and kits. According to Bernardo Hernandez, Google’s director of emerging marketing, “These kits are a multi-flavored sampler of marketing materials that can help businesses get even more exposure, get them rated and reviewed online and get more customers through their door.” The samplers will include basic cards and stickers as well as “high-tech, Google-ized goodies.”

Portland business owners can request a kit if they’ve linked their business to a Places page.

The most important part of the kit, according to Google, is the "Recommended on Google" window sticker pictured above. The sticker has Near Field Communications (NFC) technology built in, so many smartphone users will be able to touch their phones to the sticker and instantly receive more information about the business.

“Suddenly stickers are cool again!” writes Hernandez.

While we’re of the opinion that stickers are and will be perennially cool, we do think the NFC tech twist is a neat trick. In addition to the stickers, Google is also testing out some community events and competitions around Hotpot.

We look forward to seeing the results of Hotpot marketing — and eventually, we’d like to see numbers on Hotpot, itself. Do you and your friends and neighbors use Hotpot yet?
