Monitoring your health with your mobile phone

Imec and Holst Centre, together with TASS software professionals have developed a mobile heart monitoring system that allows to view your electrocardiogram on an Android mobile phone. The innovation is a low-power interface that transmits signals from a wireless ECG (electrocardiogram or heart monitoring)-sensor system to an android mobile phone. With this interface, imec, Holst Centre and TASS are the first to demonstrate a complete Body Area Network (BAN) connected to a mobile phone enabling reliable long-term ambulatory monitoring of various health parameters such as cardiac performance (ECG), brain activity (EEG), muscle activity (EMG), etc. The system will be demonstrated at the Wireless Health Conference in San Diego (US, October 5-7).

Samsung Wave II with 3.7-inch Super-Clear LCD

Samsung has unveiled a new Wave handset today – the Wave II. They already have the Wave 2 (Wave 525) but this is Wave II (S8530), the successor of original Wave. The new Wave II has got a subtle revamp and adopts a larger screen – a 3.7-inch one (800×480) but now comes with a Super clear LCD (we assume it’s the same as Super TFT) as compared to original Wave’s 3.3-inch Super AMOLED.

The Wave II has also got a bump on the software side and now brings some improvements like the inclusiion of T9 input method Trace. Think of it as bada’s version of Swype.




As for the remaining features, the phone still has a 1GHz CPU, HSDPA, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, 5MP camera with LED flash and HD video recording, 2GB internal memory, microSD card slot and 1500mAh battery.

The phone will be available in November in Germany for a price of 429 euros ($588).

LG Makes 'Optimus' Windows Phone 7 Legit

During the IFA trade show on Monday, LG announced that its forthcoming Windows Phone 7 devices will be called Optimus 7 (I guess Optimus Prime was taken?). LG didn't announce any specific devices, but shared details on what we can expect from its new Microsoft-powered smartphones.

The first feature LG boasted about is a new way to interact with DLNA content between devices. DLNA is the standard that allows certified devices to share media via Wi-Fi.


LG's Optimus 7 smartphones will be able to share 720p HD videos, high-resolution photos, and high quality music files with the flick of a finger. LG says that its software allows users to spot other DLNA certified devices, and then, by tossing the content off the top of the screen, share it with those devices.

That means users of LG's Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 devices can share directly from their phone to their TV or home theater.


"This unique feature is a direct response to the growing need for technologies that empower users to share multimedia content across electronic devices," said Mr. Seong-jin Park, Vice President of Mobile Handset R&D Center at LG Electronics, in a prepared statement.

"LG Optimus 7 smartphones will be at the center of a complete entertainment experience, representing LG's leadership in mobile convergence." LG also makes HDTVs and other consumer electronics.

LG's Optimus 7 devices will ship in the fourth quarter, which is when Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform is expected to launch.

iPhone 4G officially announced today - 43 Pics+Videos

What's new

• Front-facing video chat camera

• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)

• Camera flash

• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)

• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.

• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack

• Split buttons for volume

• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What's changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound

• An aluminum border going completely around the outside

• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)

• Everything is more squared off

• 3 grams heavier

• 16% Larger battery

• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery
