The mobility division of Motorola has acquired Zecter streaming media, whose technology integrated into Android smartphones. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Zecter currently marketed ZumoDrive and ZumoCast. The latter product is used to broadcast content stored on the user’s computer, for example, a smartphone or tablet through any type of connection, including 3G. ZumoDrive, meanwhile, allows users to upload content to the cloud of Zecter so it can be accessed from devices iPhone, iPad e iPod Touch and based smartphones Android and Web OS of Palm, now part of Hewlett-Packard.

Motorola integrate technology and products in Zecter Motoblur, Extending the company’s Android OS used for organizing and presenting messages Facebook, MySpace and Twitter on screens Phones. It also allows devices to locate lost track GPS.

With the emergence of low-cost smartphones Chinese manufacturers as Huawei and ZTE Motorola is obliged to find new ways to make their products more attractive, as the integration of media streaming. As part of the transition period will be suspended ZumoCast distribution until you add improvements, while ZumoDrive not be affected by the acquisition and will operate on the same platforms now.

New advances in plastic components used in the manufacture of touch screens will lower the final price of the products.

A new technology implemented in the touch screens could significantly reduce the cost of the screens that are currently implemented in the Mobile and Smartphone devices as a group of scientists include Fraunhofer Institute located in Germany.

The screens consist of carbon nanotubes are based on manufacturing with cheaper materials and are found in abundance, so that reducing economic dependence by using inferior materials available, which are currently being used for devices and Large Format Displays.

Today, touch screens are coated with a surface made of ITO particles glass (Indium Tin Oxide). It is used in almost all Antall LCD, plasma, OLED, touch panels and electrochromatic, so the industry has on many occasions expressed its concern to ensure continuity of supply.

The scientists behind the discovery are stressed that “there are very few deposits Indium Tin Oxide worldwide, which in terms of manufacturing of electronic devices, there are fears that its dependence on end to raise significantly the price of components if not studied any other option.”

The new technology could produce displays of similar quality to those manufactured with existing materials, deployed in a wide variety of formats and models, and look at manufacturing processes using renewable sources. Its main components are carbon nanotubes and polymers of low cost, highlights Fraunhofer team.

plastic touchscreenThe new electrode is composed of two layers. One is the carrier, consisting of a thin film made from component PET polyethylenterephthalate currently used to manufacture plastic bottles. When mixed with carbon nanotubes and electrical conducting polymers, is applied to the PET as a solution in a thin film.

The electrical resistance in the new screen is slightly higher than those based on ITO without losing the excellent showing the current property to support the touch operation.

The first sample is expected to be presented soon in a nanotechnology event takes place next month in Tokyo.
