Mobile phone with more megapixels.

Gigahertz and Lego mobile phones, eight-megapixel handsets and new online services: At the Mobile World Congress, the industry its plans for 2009. ONLINE blogs has already gathered, what innovations can be expected.

 

On Monday, it is again: The Spanish Barcelona starts the most important mobile phone trade show of the year, the Mobile World Congress. Four days show producers and developers, what ideas they hatch, what new features they have invented design trends and what the next-generation mobile phone will follow.

Toshiba TG01: On the website "Pocketlint" are already photos of Toshiba's gigahertz-mobile to see

The highlight of the fair - or at least a highlight of the fair - could come precisely from Toshiba. In Germany, the Japanese company rather than notebook manufacturers known as the leading mobile provider at best a niche.

That could change this spring. Because in Barcelona Toshiba wants the Windows Mobile phone TG01 imagine reported
"Pocketlint" and says the phone to potential iPhone competitors. Toshiba British managers, according to the phone "to revolutionize mobile entertainment world." In other words, as Toshiba has what is quite made.

But it seems so far, could become the new mobile phone actually some advantages for themselves. That not only the technical data, but above all, the images suggest the "Pocketlint" has put on line. At first glance, like that of the more than ten centimeters wide screen, whose resolution with 800 x 480 pixels far beyond the usual standards.

More importantly, however, should the processor of the mobile phone's. In TG01 Toshiba sets the first time a new chip called Snapdragons On. The Qualcomm-developed mobile drive achieves a clock frequency of 1 GHz, making it the fastest so far mobile chip - and should also be extremely frugal with the battery deal. Above all, he should ensure that the TG01, for example, movies in DivX format can play.

And even otherwise, there is the device seems to nothing that makes today's phones hip. Thus, an acceleration sensor as well as an integrated GPS receiver, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

What everyone does not encourage enthusiasm storms likely, is that in the TG01 runs Windows Mobile 6.1, an OS that is not just for ease of use and multimedia stands. The Microsoft system, however, Toshiba has a very colorful user full 3D animations übergestülpt, so that one of substructure hardly anything mitbekommt.

MOBILE BROADBAND FORMATS

UMTS

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - is often referred to as standard for third generation (3G) that it takes much higher data rates than its predecessor, enables GSM. German UMTS networks typically create a bandwidth of 384 kbit / s for data transmission from the terminal Mobilfunkmast. Regular DSL connections offer today übrlicherweise 1024 Kbit / s.

HSDPA

High Speed Downlink Packet Access - is based on UMTS on, but reached significantly higher transmission rates in the transmission of Mobilfunkmast to the terminal. The practically achievable data rate is currently at 1.4 Mbit / s. Through technological improvements, it gradually to 5.1 Mbit / s rise. (more on blogs KNOW)

GPRS

General Packet Radio Service - this standard decomposed data at stations in individual packets, it transmits gestückelt and puts them back together at the receiver. By bundling multiple transmission channels is theoretically a transmission rate of up to 171.2 kbit / s possible. In practical operation, it is usually 55.6 Kbit / s - so slow modems were in the days before DSL. (more on blogs KNOW)

Edge

Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution - technology to increase the rate of data transmission in GSM mobile networks. Through more efficient modulation techniques are in the sum up to 384 kbit / s can be achieved - that is UMTS speed. Edge has been accessed in 75 countries. (more on blogs KNOW)

WiMax

The WiMax technology includes several standards, data on different radio frequencies. Some WiMax standards require a visual connection between the transmitter and receiver, other signals can also penetrate walls. Tests WiMax will have data transfer rates of more than 100 Mbit / s has been achieved. Hermann Lipfert, an expert in wireless networks at the Munich Institute for Broadcasting Technology (IRT) estimates that in a regular-WiMax wireless cell Tranferraten from 50 Mbit / s are realistic - under ideal conditions and with application of all presently available technical tricks. This range would need to be as in UMTS all users share in the respective cell line. (more on blogs KNOW)

DVB-T

The DVB-T standard provides for the distribution of digital television signals by radio. The DVB standard is also designed to evaluate Internet content to transfer - in the frequency range of a single analogue television channel (about 7 MHz) fit, but just 13 megabits per second into it. If a single broadcast station that is 20 users hanging around the same time, a file download to try, it will be close - the data rate for each user would be less than one Mbit / s, ie lower than the cheapest DSL connections that are currently on offer are. "The biggest risk for this technology is, from the present to become obsolete," says Sven Hansen from the computer magazine "c't". Applying the content over DVB, which also goes in only one direction - just like in television. The return channel must then be produced by other means, such as via a conventional telephone line. Mouse clicks in the browser went with this method over the telephone line to the provider, the requested pages woul!
d be of the DVB broadcast station back to the receiver gefunkt. This is cumbersome - and slow. (more on blogs KNOW)

LTE

Long Term Evolution is the name that a number of mobile phone companies a broader standard of the fourth generation mobile communications have given. LTE is basically an evolution of UMTS - but requires completely new hardware, including new broadcasting stations. LTE competes with the WiMax standard to the market leader in the mobile Internet of the future - between the two standards may be a new format war. LTE has been estimated by experts to WiMax, however, about two years behind in terms of technological development. (More at blogs KNOW)

When the device is in the market is still open. Sometime in the summer as far as it should be accurate when you liked Toshiba not specify.
