MeeGo to be folded into Linux-based Tizen OS, slated to arrive in 2012

LiMo and Linux announced a new open source project, Tizen, to develop a Linux-based device software platform. Hosted at The Linux Foundation, Tizen is a standards-based, cross-architecture software platform, which supports multiple device categories including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems.

The initial release of Tizen is targeted for Q1 2012, enabling first devices to come to market in mid-2012.

According to its stewards, Tizen will support HTML5- and WAC-based apps and will be designed to run across a wide spectrum of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-car infotainment systems. The MeeGo project, for its part, already seems to be on board with the initiative, promising to "make sure that users of MeeGo can easily transition to Tizen," while assisting MeeGo developers, as well.

MeeGo to be folded into Linux-based Tizen OS, slated to arrive in 2012


LiMo Foundation and Linux Foundation Announce New Open Source Software Platform, Tizen(TM)
New Cross-Device and Cross-Architecture Platform Will Drive Standards-Based Web Applications

LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Sep 28, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- LiMo Foundation(TM) and The Linux Foundation today announced a new open source project, Tizen(TM), to develop a Linux-based device software platform. Hosted at The Linux Foundation, Tizen is a standards-based, cross-architecture software platform, which supports multiple device categories including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The initial release of Tizen is targeted for Q1 2012, enabling first devices to come to market in mid-2012.

Tizen combines the best open source technologies from LiMo and The Linux Foundation and adds a robust and flexible standards-based HTML5 and WAC web development environment within which device-independent applications can be produced efficiently for unconstrained cross-platform deployment. This approach leverages the robustness and flexibility of HTML5 which is rapidly emerging as a preferred application environment for mobile applications and the broad carrier support of the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC). Tizen additionally carries a state-of-the-art reference user interface enabling the creation of highly attractive and innovative user experience that can be further customized by operators and manufacturers.

"LiMo Foundation views Tizen as a well-timed step change which unites major mobile Linux proponents within a renewed ecosystem with an open web vision of application development which will help device vendors to innovate through software and liberalize access to consumers for developers and service providers," said Morgan Gillis, Executive Director of LiMo Foundation. "LiMo will maintain its focus on providing the industry with a broadly backed vendor- and service-neutral ecosystem grounded in the spirit of open and unconstrained opportunity that is embodied by Linux."

The mobile industry continues to embrace Linux and open source technologies as key factors in lowering device realization cost, increasing flexibility and improving time to market and it is expected that Tizen will further enhance these effects due to its cross-category reach and strong focus on open standards.

"The Linux Foundation is pleased to host the Tizen platform," said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of The Linux Foundation. "Open source platforms such as Tizen are good for Linux as they further its adoption across device categories. We look forward to collaborating with the LiMo Foundation and its members on this project."

Wacom Rolls Out an All-New Line of Bamboo Pen Tablets
Wacom delivers new ways to connect, capture and create with the new Bamboo tablet lineup.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 27, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Wacom® introduces an all-new lineup of Bamboo™ pen tablets, bringing together an elegant new design and value added software that enhance the use case interests of computer users better than ever.
Consisting of three new choices, Bamboo Connect, Bamboo Capture and Bamboo Create, the Bamboo family of tablets brings ideas and creativity to life by delivering a flexible and fun computing experience. Bamboo Connect is designed for visual communicators in a home or office environment who want to express their ideas visually and collaborate with digital ink.

Bamboo Capture is the ideal choice for the photo hobbyist who wants to have fun editing or retouching photos with the benefits of Wacom pen input. For the artistically inclined, Bamboo Create is the platform of choice to turn creative ideas into works of art. Bamboo Capture and Bamboo Create also feature multi-touch input capabilities, giving users up to 16 touch points for gesture-based input such as scrolling, zooming and much more, depending on application support.

Featuring new sleek designs, patented pressure-sensitive pens, wireless adaptability (in Bamboo Capture and Bamboo Create only) and outstanding software bundles that are ideal for each individual use case, the updated features of the Bamboo family reflect Wacom's commitment to creating intuitive input devices that allow people to express themselves in a natural fashion.

"Bamboo is all about offering choices to the end-user and giving them the creative freedom to work with their computer in a natural way," says Rick Peterson, Director of Consumer Products for Wacom Technology Services Corp. "With Bamboo, inspiration and expression become one, allowing people to explore computer input in ways they never thought possible."

Mightier than the Sword
Bamboo's pressure-sensitive, battery-free and cordless pen is the soul of the brand experience, delivering precise input control and a true pen-on-paper feel. Whether note-taking, editing, sketching or painting, the pen is the ideal tool to use when working with software applications, especially those creative applications that support pressure sensitivity. One can even erase mistakes with the pen's digital eraser! "The Bamboo pen becomes a natural extension to the whole input process," states Peterson. "No matter what the application, the pen is the user's direct link to creative control and ergonomic comfort."

Bamboo Connect ($79.95 USD) is a pen-only tablet and ideally suited for visual communicators who embrace pen usage for digital inking, doodling and white-boarding. The low-profile black tablet with green accents is sure to be a hit on anyone's desk. Whether marking up a document at the office computer or sketching a new landscape project on the laptop at home, Bamboo Connect brings ideas to life with realistic pen-on-paper feel. Bamboo Connect comes with Autodesk® Sketchbook Express, a creative software application with multiple inking tools and colors for sketching and painting. In addition, Bamboo ownership turns on the digital inking functionality in the latest versions of Microsoft®'s Office® Suite to facilitate more natural collaboration.

Bamboo Capture ($99.95 USD) offers pen and multi-touch input in a single device. The silver and black accented tablet is geared to the photo enthusiast or novice designer seeking a fun way to turn ordinary photos into extraordinary ones using the pen's 1024 levels of pressure with included software, Adobe® Photoshop® Elements and Autodesk's Sketchbook Express. "Bamboo Capture users will enjoy the ability to alternate between pen input and multi-touch," says Peterson. "We have significantly improved the touch experience by offering highly responsive multi-finger touch and much improved data sampling. For those that prefer to work wirelessly, Bamboo's wireless module is available as an accessory."

Bamboo Create ($199.95 USD), also in stylish silver and black, provides 2X the work space than Bamboo Capture to give creative customers more freedom of movement when making broad pen, pencil or brush strokes on the tablet surface. Make a mistake? No worries. Just use the pressure-sensitive eraser on the other end of the pen to fix your error. Bamboo Create is ideal for home arts and crafts projects, photo editing as well as scrapbooking. Although larger than its tablet brethren, it is still totally portable and will fit easily into any laptop bag or backpack. Bamboo Create also supports the Bamboo wireless module and ships with Corel® Painter™ Essentials, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Autodesk Sketchbook Express for the most complete creative software application bundle in the Bamboo line.

Bamboo works with Mac® and PC operating systems and will support Microsoft®'s next generation operating system, Windows® 8.

Plug-n-Play Wireless for Capture and Create Models

Wireless input is now available for Bamboo Capture and Bamboo Create. The plug-n-play RF module, sold as a $39 (USD) accessory on Wacom's e-store, fits into the slot on the side of the tablet to enable wireless connectivity. The simple, no-cable module connects to any desktop or laptop for hours of wireless freedom.

The devices allow consumers to enjoy broadband access at up to 102 Mbps (Megabits per second) downlink and 51 Mbps uplink to support data-intensive services on TD-LTE (time division-duplex, long term evolution) networks. The devices address broadband access requirements that range from basic connectivityin under-served regions, to high-speed mobile broadband in dense metro areas. All are now available to customers.

    A plug-and-play USB dongle, the Nokia Siemens Networks USB-lte 7210 offers mobile broadband to laptops and compatible tablets whilst on the move. Nokia Siemens Networks CPEi-lte 7212 is a wireless router built for indoor use that provides fixed wireless connectivity to TD-LTE services via WiFi or Ethernet. A further wireless router, Nokia Siemens Networks CPEo-lte 7210, built to withstand the weather and be mounted outdoors, can also provide broadband access. The devices are commercially available to support 4G services using the TD-LTE standard in the 2.3 GHz and 2.6GHz bands allocated for wireless broadband in many parts of the globe.

    Telecommunications | Telstra and HTC Lights Up to Bring 4G Smartphone to Australia

    Telstra customers woke up to a sun shower of good news this morning, when their provider's new 4G LTE network went live in Australia.

    According to the company, its new infrastructure offers download speeds between two and 40 Mbps (a 25 percent increase over what its 3G network supported at launch), with upstream rates ranging from one to ten Mbps.

    Also, Telstra is planning to launch a new 4G-enabled HTC handset by the first half of next year. At this point, details about the Android-based device (codenamed "HTC 4G") remain fuzzy, though the carrier says it will boast a 4.5-inch screen, eight megapixel camera and dual-core processor.

    Come to new era telecommunication fo Australians...

    Telstra



    A new era of telecommunications – Telstra lights up 4G mobile services in Australia

    Australians will enter a new era of mobile telecommunications today with Telstra launching the nation's first superfast 4G LTE mobile network in capital city CBDs and more than 30 regional and metropolitan centres.

    Telstra CEO David Thodey said Australians could now access one of the world's most advanced mobile networks delivering some of the fastest mobile download and upload speeds available anywhere.

    "Today marks a new high-speed chapter in Australian mobile telecommunications. Telstra's 4G network delivers mobile speeds scarcely imagined a decade ago, making it easier for people to connect with the things they need and love when on the move," Mr Thodey said.

    "The superfast speeds mean consumers can download songs faster, get TV shows in minutes and do more things simultaneously.

    "This is just the beginning. Telstra 4G will allow our mobile devices to perform even more advanced tasks and open the door to a host of innovative high-speed services that have yet to be conceived.

    "Customers trialling Telstra 4G have told us it is already changing how they connect and work. For example, a sports photographer in Melbourne is now sending his high-resolution footy images direct to newspapers from the boundary line faster than ever. In Sydney, video producers are handling larger video files on the go and saving time in the process. In regional Australia, a skin cancer doctor has increased the quality of his medical images thanks to the increased bandwidth available over 4G," Mr Thodey said.

    Using the Telstra USB 4G mobile broadband modem, which goes on sale today, customers in 4G coverage areas can enjoy typical download speeds ranging from 2Mbps to 40Mbps – up to ten times faster than 3G speeds currently claimed by other Australian telecommunications companies. Customers can also experience typical upload speeds of 1Mbps to 10Mbps – three times faster than previous generations of mobile broadband in Australia.

    "We know there is a huge appetite for 4G-powered smartphones and tablets and Telstra is working with some of the world's leading manufacturers to bring some of these devices to customers in the first half of 2012," Mr Thodey said.

    As well as supporting faster mobile speeds, Telstra 4G provides a more responsive internet connection. Network latency (the time it takes for data to travel from a PC to the internet and back) is around half that experienced on current 3G networks meaning real-time applications like video conferencing, internet gaming and cloud-hosted streaming services work better with less buffering and fewer interruptions.

    Telstra also announced that it would launch 4G services in more than 50 additional locations by year's end.

    Today's national launch follows Telstra's switch-on of the first 4G base stations using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in May and a commercial pilot of 4G services for business customers last month.

    4G Plans and Pricing
    The BigPond USB 4G can be purchased by consumer customers for $0 (after rebate) on a range of new 24 month plans – including on a $59.95 per month plan with 8GB of data included each month over 24 months (min cost $1,438.80).

    The Telstra USB 4G can be purchased by business customers on a range of plans including $0 upfront on the $39 Telstra Mobile Broadband Standard Plan over 24 months (min total cost $936) with 4GB included data.

    For more information on Telstra 4G visit www.telstra.com/4gfun. Business customers can visit: www.telstra.com/business/4G.

    *Speeds vary due to factors such as distance from base station, local conditions, user numbers, hardware and software configuration.

    Telstra and HTC


    Telstra and HTC to bring 4G smartphone to Australia

    Australians will soon get their hands on the next generation of mobile phone technology with Telstra joining with HTC to launch its first 4G LTE smartphone in the first half of 2012.

    Codenamed 'HTC 4G', the smartphone will feature lightning-fast 4G mobile internet speeds, a large 4.5 inch screen and will be powered by Android™.

    Telstra CEO David Thodey said Telstra 4G promised to supercharge the smartphone web experience by providing some of the fastest handset download and upload speeds available.

    "4G smartphones will bring the rich internet content Australians love on their home PCs to their hands and pockets," Mr Thodey said.

    "In a matter of months, our customers will be able to stream their video and music collections over the mobile internet faster than before, access cloud-hosted applications and play fast-paced internet games direct from their smartphone screen. We're delighted to be working with HTC on the first of many 4G handheld devices that are set to launch now the new Telstra 4G network is live in Australia.

    HTC CEO Peter Chou said HTC and Telstra are leading the world in LTE development.
    "By partnering to deliver Telstra's first 4G smartphone we are ushering in a new generation smartphone experience in Australia. Superfast network speeds in a device built with HTC's focus on design, screen quality and delivery of the best customer experience is something that we are extremely excited about making available to Australian customers."

    Earlier today, Telstra launched Australia's first superfast 4G LTE mobile network in capital city CBDs and more than 30 regional and metropolitan centres.

    The HTC 4G will be powered by a fast dual-core processor and will feature a high-quality 8 mega-pixel camera.

    Further details, pricing and availability for the HTC 4G will be announced in the coming months.

    Customers can pre-register their interest from today by visiting www.telstra.com.au/htc4g.

    NYT: Netflix strikes deal with Dreamworks, will begin streaming movies, TV specials in 2013

    The deal between Netflix and Dreamworks Animation were as good as advertised.

    Between Netflix and Dreamworks Animation have reached an agreement to stream Dreamworks' movies and TV projects, as part of a deal worth an estimated $30 million.

    Also, in under the contract of their, which replaces a similar pay TV pact between Dreamworks and HBO and Netflix will begin offering exclusive access to the studio's new films in 2013.

    The company won't be confined to selling digital copies of Dreamworks' movies within a specific period, either, drawing a major distinction between itself and HBO, which requires studio partners to halt digital sales outside of an exclusive window.

    LOS ANGELES - DreamWorks Animation, the company behind successful movie franchises like "Madagascar" and "Shrek," said it had completed a deal to pump its films and television specials through Netflix, replacing a less lucrative pact with HBO.

    The Netflix accord, which analysts estimate is worth $30 million per picture to DreamWorks over an unspecified period of years, is billed by the companies as the first time a major Hollywood supplier has chosen Web streaming over pay television.

    It is also a bet by Jeffrey Katzenberg, the animation studio's chief executive, that consumers in the near future will not distinguish between the two. "We are really starting to see a long-term road map of where the industry is headed," Mr. Katzenberg said in an interview. "This is a game-changing deal." Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, added: "You're seeing power moving back into the hands of content creators.

    When a company like DreamWorks ends a long-running pay TV deal - when a new buyer in the space steps up - that's a really interesting landscape shift."

    The DreamWorks contract comes as Netflix is trying to navigate a dense thicket of challenges.

    Competition from the likes of Apple, Amazon and Vudu, a streaming service owned by Wal-Mart, is increasingly fierce; Dish Network, which plucked Blockbuster out of bankruptcy earlier this year, on Friday announced a Blockbuster- branded streaming and DVD-by-mail service.

    As a "tidal wave" of Netflix competitors enter, said Michael Nathanson, a media analyst for Nomura, "in the short term it will probably be good for the price of content," because more bidders mean that media companies can charge more for the rights to stream movies like "Avatar" and shows like "Modern Family."

    More important, "in the long term it may accelerate changes in consumer behaviors," Mr. Nathanson said, as more people choose to watch more video online.

    Access to movies and TV shows is what matters most to Netflix, and Hollywood, after helping to build up the company with generous deals, is starting to play hardball. Next February, Netflix is expected to lose the right to stream films from Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment, as a result of a failed renegotiation with the premium cable channel Starz. But Netflix's biggest challenge at the moment is self-inflicted.

    This summer, in an attempt to raise cash to license more streaming content, the company increased the price for its combination Internet streaming and DVD service, angering customers. On Sept. 18 it abruptly said it would split up the two services, frustrating fans of both.

    About one million of its 25 million customers in the United States are believed to have dropped the service in this quarter.

    The company has lost half of its value-about $8 billion worth - over the last two months. Mr. Katzenberg said he was confident about the direction Netflix was heading, calling the company's decision to split streaming and DVD "a very tough and very strategic call that will ultimately prove to be the right one for long-term success."
    "Could it have been handled better? Absolutely," he added. "But there are always bumps when you're looking around a corner." Netflix will begin streaming DreamWorks films starting in 2013.

    The studio plans three releases that year: "The Croods," a prehistoric comedy; "Turbo," about a garden snail; and "Peabody & Sherman," an adaptation of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" characters. Titles from the DreamWorks library, including "Kung Fu Panda" and "Antz," will become available over time, the companies said.

    The so-called pay TV window is one of the entertainment industry's most important business tools.

    In the past, HBO has paid steep licensing fees of about $20 million per picture for exclusive rights a few months after films arrive on DVD. But Netflix - capitalizing on a consumer shift to streaming content on computers, tablets and Internet-connected televisions - has been making similar deals, albeit mostly with smaller suppliers.

    With the DreamWorks deal, Netflix will be able to offer customers exclusive access to a pipeline of films that are reliably some of the year's biggest box office successes. The opportunity to bolster its children's and family offerings was another reason Netflix pursued a DreamWorks deal so aggressively.

    Netflix will also gain streaming rights to DreamWorks television specials. "This is one of the few family entertainment brands that matter," Mr. Sarandos said. "It's also a signal to people that we are in no way moving away from movies. Our programming is just reflecting more and more what people want."
    For DreamWorks Animation, which has experienced a sharp erosion in its stock price over the last few months, the deal with Netflix comes with one major perk. HBO requires its studio partners to suspend digital sales of movies during its exclusive window, but Netflix will allow DreamWorks to keep selling digital downloads.

    What does the loss of DreamWorks mean for HBO? Anything that increases the marketplace clout of Netflix is damaging, but the premium television service will most likely not miss it much. HBO's studio partners are increasingly making animated films and HBO recently brought in Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the "Twilight" films, as a new partner.
    HBO notably allowed DreamWorks out of its contract two years early.

    Meanwhile, Netflix keeps adding television content. Last week, Netflix announced a renewed content deal with Discovery, the owner of channels like TLC and Animal Planet, that will result in streams of old episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress," "River Monsters" and others.

    What is more important, Netflix is soon going to make the source network of shows clearer; people who turn on "River Monsters" will know it is an Animal Planet show.

    Signaling support for Netflix, John Weiser, president of domestic distribution for Sony Pictures Television, called it an "important player and a great customer," and said the two companies were "actively discussing producing original programming together."

    Netflix is already spending $100 million to create a series called "House of Cards" and acquiring the American rights to overseas properties.
