iPad 3 Features Senseg’s Haptic Feedback Touch Technology?

Posted by unlocker under Uncategorized on Monday Apr 9, 2012

There is a need to dissect the iPad 3 invite. The tagline on the invite says “We have something you really have to see. And touch.” What does the “touch” mean?
The invitation shows an iOS Calendar icon with the date as March 7 indicating the date of the media event. The iPad screen on the background indicates that the new generation of iPad will be introduced in the event. Moreover, this also indicates that the new device may get an upgrade. The resolution of the Calendar icon in the invite seems to confirm that iPad 3 will indeed get a high-resolution Retina Display.
The new “Retina Display” of the device explained the “have to see” part in the invite’s tagline. However, there have been many speculations on the “And touch” part of the tagline. Some people speculate that other Apple devices such as the Apple TV and iPod Touch will also be launched in the media event along with the iPad 3. Another speculation is that iPad 3 will no longer be equipped with Home button and will have the capacitive bezel.
Another possible explanation for the statement is that the new device may have Senseg’s feel technology. According to the report of Pocket-lint,
“Senseg is a haptics technology company founded just five years ago, the start of Nokia’s decline. Unlike haptics until this point, Senseg is working on creating complex textures rather than simply buzzing your fingertips. The aim is to make a corrugated surface feel corrugated, a rough surface rough, a soft surface soft. The first products will ship by the end of this year and again Nokia is not Senseg’s first port of call. ‘We are currently working with a certain tablet maker based in Cupertino,’ reveals Senseg senior vice president Ville Mäkinen.”
The only Cupertino-based company manufacturing tablet is Apple.
According to Senseg’s website, “with Senseg, touch screens come alive with textures, contours and edges that users can feel. Using Senseg technology, makers of tablet computers, smart phones, and any touch interface device can deliver revolutionary user experiences with high fidelity tactile sensations. Your customers will Feel the Difference with Senseg.”
It goes on to add:
“Unlike effects created by mechanical vibration and piezo solutions, Senseg is silent. Moreover, with Senseg application developers have precise control of the location and type of effect users experience. What’s more, Senseg technology scales from touch pads, smart phones and tablets to the largest touch screens without increasing manufacturing complexity.”
Pocket-lint asked Senseg if it is involved with the launch, they responded with, “we won’t be making any statements until after Apple’s announcement.”

How to sue AT&T for Hogging Users’ Unlimited Data Plan

Posted by unlocker under Uncategorized on Tuesday Apr 3, 2012

There have been reports that mobile network AT&T was throttling down top five percent of the unlimited data plan subscribers to 2G speeds. If that is not enough, there were also reports that some users were downgraded to 2G speeds after the subscribers used less than 2GB of monthly usage.
However, it seems that the law is in favor of the users’ side when a judge in Californian court awarded an iPhone user $850 because AT&T throttled his download speeds last week. If you are one of the AT&T subscribers that fall into the trap of this network, you can also file a lawsuit against the company and get some of your money back. Bradley Sniderman, an attorney from Southern California has 5 tips for you on how to file a small claim lawsuit
1) Where to file — most lawsuits, even those from small claims, need to be filed in the jurisdiction where the defendant can be found. In this case (and let’s use AT&T), AT&T may have corporate offices in only a few locations, but since they are a nationwide phone company, they are usually subject to jurisdiction anywhere. What this means is that you can file your small claims suit in the courthouse most convenient to you.
2) Make sure you have a copy of your contract, and please review the entire agreement. It may be a slow read, but you need to know the terms of it. You may be able to use these terms to show that AT&T does not have the right to slow your data speed.
3) You need to be able to show that you have an unlimited data plan, which means you are entitled to unlimited data. You need to also show proof that AT&T had limited your data streaming. You next have to argue that AT&T has no right to charge you a fee for unlimited data, and then not supply it. It is not your fault that AT&T can’t keep up with demand for data. If you can even show that you are using less data that some of the fixed rate plans, such as the 3 gigabyte plans, that is even better (fixed plans using more data than you use, but they are not being throttled back). Make sure you have been paying your bill on time and that you are not late, since that could be used against you.
4) Make sure you have an amount for damages. You need to show how you were damaged by not having data streaming. This could be by showing lost business opportunities or showing how much you have paid for the service you never got.
5) Be polite, and make sure you are prepared. The court will listen to you, but if you don’t know what you are talking about, then your argument gets lost.
It is also best to consult with a legitimate lawyer to strengthen your case for a possible claim. There is no reason for the consumers to feel intimidated with big companies’ policies as these are not right all the time.
