At the World Mobile Congress in the era of 3D key pocket

BARCELONA - The age of 3D without glasses in key pocket and finally kicks off one of the tablet. The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the largest exhibition dedicated to the world of telephony, from these two certainties: a revolution in three dimensions in key pocket, or rather key smartphone, and the beginning of the run-up to Apple and its by iPad Android part of the weapon.

A race never really started, with rare exceptions such as the Galaxy Tab Samsung and experiments have managed just as Folio 100 of the Toshiba, although we speak for some time. "Many have shown the tablet, but between ads and availability in the stores there's a big difference," noted Kunimasa Suzuki, vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment.

One of the few multinational companies to not have a tablet yet but later this year should fill this gap. "We did not hurry in 2012 will sell 500 million smartphones, only 250 million PCs and 50 million tablets". As if to say, she won second place behind Apple is important, but the market for "smart pc" or "post PC", however you want to call them, will remain a niche for a few years.

The dual core tablet of the great G position, that of Suzuki, who among his colleagues does not seem very many shared according to the latest show here in Barcelona. After a presentation by Google's own operating system dedicated solely to tablet, Android 3.0, the Mobile Word Congress comes a wave of anti iPad moved by HoneyComb, codenamed last os Big G, and almost always equipped with dual core processors.

Therefore able to compete with the economic-end laptops. You go dall'Optimus Pad with 8.9-inch screen of the LG, the Motorola Xoom already appeared in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Moving on to the Toshiba's new tablet, up to the models that HTC will show Tuesday and Tab 10.1 of Samsung.

All output prices in the coming months, sore, still supported. Perhaps the real news is the arrival of the HP by a quarter inconvenience that adds to the playbook of the Blackberry, the tablet with Android, of course, to those of Apple. The TouchPad is saddle up webOS, the same as the Palm (acquired last year by HP) has developed for the Pre smartphone ever arrived in Italy.

Operating system in terms of ease of use is quite similar to those of Apple. Even in this case is a dual core processor, the latest Qualcomm's Snapdragon, while the 9.7-inch touch screen. But since these devices based on digital ecosystems, linked to services such as shopping online applications, we must understand about Blackberry on one side and the other Hp have the strength to compete with Apple and Google.

Which is especially true for the world of smartphones. The paperback version in 3D without glasses "These are not just phones, pocket digital ecosystems are," he explained some time ago, Andy Rubin, the mastermind behind Google's Android. "With the revolution of the appstore is now clear that these are complex structures that not everyone can manage.

So I think in the future only a few companies will govern the competition. Very few. " I know both Nokia and Microsoft, now joined by two former do not become large in this sector. Waiting to see what smartphone could get back on top of the Finnish multinational, the others are all riding the wave of Android and the United States outperformed those of the iPhone.

The most interesting news of the Mobile World Congress 2011 are in fact based on this operating system. Starting dall'Optimus 3D LG, dual core processor and 4.3 inch screen, well, it can display images in three dimensions without the aid of glasses. After the announcement of 3DS, the new Nintendo console output from us in March, after the two phones that Sharp should launch in the Japanese stores by February, and after the cameras like Sony's Bloggie 3D (well equipped with their display "glassless"), including the Korean multinational has decided to take the field.

To remedy the chronic lack of 3D video, you will realize its thanks to the double 5-megapixel camera that offers little or exploit the Internet as a YouTube channel dedicated to stereoscopic video. But the LG promises that Android Market soon there will be a section devoted to programs and video games in three dimensions.

Too bad only for the price above 600 euro. The PlayStation Phone from Sony Ericsson 's always related to electronic games one of the other big news of Barcelona. Quell'Xperia Play, commonly known as the PlayStation Phone, due out in April to 599 €. 4-inch display, 5 megapixel camera, the Sony Ericsson support is six or seven times faster in terms of digital graphics of any smartphone with Windows 7 from Microsoft.

All thanks to the graphics processor capable of displaying games at 60 frames per second, twice as much as everyone else. Play The Xperia is also the first to offer Suite PlayStation, submitted together with the new portable console of Sony, recently. Platform for distributing games to Android within an uncertain future, given the amount of games available for free on a fairly good level app store.

Tied more in this case to a mobile phone-console that has a high price. The games on the PS Suite € count up to eight or so, we speak of are most popular titles like FIFA or The Sims, but it seems that there will be some more affordable. More powerful than a laptop, here are the other smartphones of 2011 Finally the long line of smartphones have large screens, over 4 inches, and dual core processors.

Of the same gender, then, the Dual el'Atrix Lg Motorola presented in Las Vegas a month ago. The Galaxy II S Samsung for example, the Desire of 2 Htc Arc of Sony Ericsson. All mobile devices that call is quite an understatement. "What is more powerful than a laptop is not surprising," says Rubin.

"It 's inevitable development. They sell many more cell phones than PCs, this is the market for hi-tech excellence. " But beyond forecasts and market data, which allows you to count that this latest wave of smartphones: managing animations (in flash) or open web pages twice as fast than before, as well as the possibility of video high definition (HD).

The Atrix of Motorola, with its processor and nVidia's Tegra 2 gigabytes of memory, you can even enter in what apparently looks like a laptop but in reality is an empty shell that only light from a screen and keyboard . The computing power provides the phone, and is powerful enough to write, surf, play some decent games.

Suzuki probably is right: in 2012 they still sell 250 million PCs. But who knows if within a couple of years, the demand will not fall in peak whereas the advanced computing power of mobile phones and the fact that already in 2013 will be more people surfing via smartphones through a computer.
