The highest communications tower ready to be developed (JAPAN)

TOKYO - Construction of the highest communications tower in the world, Tokyo Sky Tree with 634meters height here to be completed yesterday.
Construction was delayed for two months following the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March last year which resulted in a shortage of building materials.

Tokyo Sky Tree is also recognized as the world's second largest building after the BurjDubai Khalifa at 828 meters tall.

The leaders of the tourism industry in this country hope 634-meter tall tower will be able to attract foreign tourists.

Number of foreign tourists decreased in Japan after the tsunami disaster and the nuclear crisis that occurred last year.

Construction of the tower in east Tokyo in July 2008 and according to schedule it should be completed in December last year.

Sky Tree Tokyo Tower has overcome Canton in Guangzhou, China, 600 meters highand 553 meters tall CN Tower in downtown Toronto, Canada.

Hands On With the Samsung Galaxy Beam

BARCELONA—Will the Samsung Galaxy Beam be the projector-phone to finally crack the U.S. market? I got a little time with it today, and the company hopes the new smartphone's thinness and brightness will have us all projecting our videos onto the ceiling.

The Samsung Galaxy Beam is a good-looking, midrange Android smartphone with one special thing: a Cyclopean eye up top that beams a 15-lumen image out the front onto whatever surface you can find. It isn't thick, at 12.5mm, and its soft-touch gray back is accented with a bright yellow band around the edge. The lens doesn't get in the way of slipping the phone into your pocket.

The phone's LED projector, which promises two years of nonstop playback and three hours of video on a charge, shot small but bright images around the conference room where the demo was held. Videos were sharp, and while the 15-lumen brightness didn't stun, it was more than viewable in a dark room. The projector has 640-by-360 resolution, which is a 720p video reduced by half.

To help people get started projecting, the phone will come with mood-maker animations including jumping sheep and constellations, Samsung Product Manager, Will Bin said.

Keeping the phone steady is a real problem, though, and the built-in speaker is far too weak to play a movie to a crowd. Samsung will offer dock and speaker accessories which will stabilize and amplify the phone, Bin said.

The Beam uses some low-cost parts to shave a few dollars off the price and get the projector in. It runs ST Ericsson's dual-core 1GHz U8500 chipset, for instance, which we haven't seen in a U.S. phone before. It also has a 4-inch WVGA LCD screen, HSPA+ 14.4 and Wi-Fi networking, 8GB of storage with a memory card slot, and a relatively large 2000 mAh battery.

There's one odd spec out, though: the Beam runs the swiftly aging Android 2.3 when everyone's talking about 4.0. Bin said the Beam will receive a 4.0 upgrade, although he wouldn't say when.

A Spotty History for Projector Phones
This isn't Samsung's first projector-phone; the company brought out the Show in 2009. Later that year, the LG Expo hit the U.S. market with a stunning thud. Saddled with the dying Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system and sold primarily to business customers, it never stood a chance. U.S. carriers haven't taken a flyer on a projector phone since, turning down Samsung's second-generation Beam among others.

Bin says that's because previous projector phones weren't good enough, not because of any inherent problems with the projector-phone concept.

"Projector phones used to be 20mm thick," he said. "We handle the size factor. The brightness used to be below 10 lumens, and this one is 15 lumens."

And while the Expo was sold (or not, as the case was) to businesspeople to project their PowerPoint presentations, the Beam is being marketed as a fun gadget.

"You can't take your TV and put it on the ceiling to see it when you're lying in bed. You can take this phone outside, go to a camping site, and share your favorite YouTube clips," he said.

Since the projector just mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen, it looks like it'll even handle streaming video services like Netflix.

If the Galaxy Beam comes to the U.S., it'll likely land on AT&T or T-Mobile; Bin said there were no plans for a CDMA version.

Samsung bezel-free Galaxy B smartphone tipped incoming

Samsung is cooking up a bezel-free smartphone for release by Q3 2012, according to unnamed company execs, tentatively called the Samsung Galaxy B. The smartphone, presumably Android-powered, has a large AMOLED panel with no bezel on the sides of bottom, according to a report in the Korean-language Maeli Business Newspaper, and only a small section at the top for the earpiece and a front-facing camera.

Exactly how Samsung has achieved the bezel-free design is unspecified, though the unnamed company execs claim it has been a work-in-progress since sometime last year. Other specifications are similarly mysterious, beyond the promise of a large screen.

It’s possible that this is the much-anticipated Galaxy S III, though certainly far from confirmed at this stage. That handset, initially expected to be officially revealed at Mobile World Congress next week, will in fact follow on in a separate announcement sometime in the first half of this year. Samsung is yet to hint at specifications, though it’s worth noting that the company did flaunt its new Exynos processor earlier this week and suggest it could show up in a device later this year.

The “Galaxy B” is expected to debut in Q2 or Q3, which would certainly fit with the new Exynos timescale. No word on whether Samsung plans to give us a glimpse in Barcelona next week, but you know we’ll have our eyes peeled.

Apple announces OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

While Apple fans have their collective gaze fixed on next month’s (expected) iPad 3 announcement, the company surprised everyone this morning by springing another big announcement on us. The next version of Mac OS X, 10.8, was revealed today. It will be known as Mountain Lion.

Though the initial announcement of Mountain Lion lacked a hyped keynote event (that will come before its public release), the information was released nonetheless. The OS will arrive for customers sometime this summer.

This is a relatively minor OS X update, similar to the update from Leopard to Snow Leopard. The biggest changes are iCloud-related, including automatic saving of files to iCloud (including text, notes, and documents).

Other big additions include AirPlay support and the arrival of Game Center on OS X. Both of these features could open new doors for Mac gaming, with AirPlay essentially turning a Mac into a gaming console. iMessage also comes to OS X in Mountain Lion, replacing iChat (though it’s called Messages here). Yes, you’ll be able to send an equivalent of text messages to your iOS-using friends while on your Mac. iOS 5′s Reminders app makes an appearance here as well, as does Notification Center.

Social networking integration is also heavy in Mountain Lion — an unprecedented feature in a desktop OS. Mountain Lion has integrated, instant, and simple setup of Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, and several Chinese networks (Facebook is absent).

Gatekeeper is a new service, which lets you choose which apps you can install on your Mac. The default setting is for either Mac App Store apps or non Mac App Store apps for developers with a registered ID. This can serve as a security measure. Users can get better protection against malware, as Apple can revoke those developers’ certificates and make their apps uninstallable. There are also options for “Mac App Store only” (closed down, like iOS) and “all apps.”

The biggest takeaway from Mountain Lion is that Apple is dead serious about the cloud. Mountain Lion is designed to seamlessly connect to your iPhone and iPad. Long-time Mac enthusiasts cringed at some of the iOS-like additions to OS X that Apple added with Lion. We continue to see that here, but, rather than this signifying the iOSification of OS X, it’s more of a unification of all Apple software. When Apple launched iCloud last Fall, the Mac end was the weak link — much of it required you to go through the iCloud web site. It was inevitable that Apple would clean that up eventually, and Mountain Lion reveals that the company is ready to do just that.

Mountain Lion is available today as a developer preview. The Messages app is also available to everyone (Lion only; sorry, Snow Leopard users) as an open beta from here (though it’s down out at the moment).
