Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof
Nikon Inc. has introduced its COOLPIX AW120 waterproof (up to 59 feet, 18m), shockproof (up to 6.6 feet, 2m) and freezeproof (down to 14°F, -10°C) camera. Equipped with GPS technology, the camera is designed to permit users to track their exploration down to the exact longitude and latitude of where an image was captured. When users are off the grid, they can stay connected with built-in mapping and an electronic compass. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates the seamless transfer of images or HD video. Additional features include a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, full HD 1080/60i video and a wide angle 5x (24-120mm) optical zoom lens.
The suggested retail price is $349.95.
Work and play
InZero Systems has introduced its WorkPlay Tablet™, an Android tablet with two hardware-separated operating systems. One operating system is called the WorkZone, while the other is called the PlayZone. The two operating systems do not share resources that could cause cross-contamination, and the operating code in one system cannot access the other. InZero offers firmware-embedded mobile device management, designed for maximum IT administrative control in a zone. Switching between Zones takes a few seconds by touching a switch icon. The Tablet also embodies additional security features, such as AES256 encryption and a secure boot. The WorkPlay Technology™ can be adapted to mobile devices using CPUs with Trustzone technology.
A curve in smartphone technology
The new LG G Flex flexible, curved smartphone is said to redefine the shape of cell phones – literally. OtterBox® has announced availability of the Defender Series® and Commuter Series® for LG G Flex. The Defender Series features a built-in screen protector, polycarbonate shell and shock-absorbing slip cover to protect against scratches, dust and drops. The Commuter Series features a self-adhering screen protector, a synthetic rubber mid-layer and a polycarbonate shell. Both case options are available now in a variety of color combinations.
Tablets are in
Global tablet shipments reached 227 million units in 2013 compared to 182 million PC shipments, meaning the tablet platform out-shipped the mobile PC for the first time, according to Strategy Analytics. (Shipments refer to sell-in, and the definition of a tablet does not include e-book readers or convertible PCs.)
