Samsung has big plans for its upcoming smartphones. The company took advantage of the sixth Samsung Mobile Solutions Forum in Taipei to reveal some of its upcoming mobile technology: 1GHz low power processors, OneDRAM, 512MB PRAM, display drivers with capacitive integration and a 5-megapixel / 1080 SoC camera. Now imagine a phone wearing all that! All it needs is an Android OS with some kind of customize UI on top and the phone should definitely be a hit.

The new 1GHz processors come with 512KB L2 cache and they support 3D gaming and 1080p output at 30fps via HDMI 1.3. Not bad at all for a phone! The OneDRAM memory chipset will get you transfer speeds of up to 1.3GBps and that 512MB of PRAM will certainly handle all your mobile needs. Last, but not least, we have a new camera, a 5-megapixel CMOS image sensor that’s coming together with an image signal processor on a chip. The system-on-chip camera will be ready to record video at 1080p at 30fps. Doesn’t this all sound exciting? We should see all these features in 2010 phones as the new components will be ready for mass production starting with the first quarter of the year.

Don’t be surprised if some time soon, mobile technology will be among the learning aids that children will be using.

Educators, policymakers and wireless industry leaders joined together last week at the Mobile Learning Conference 2009 in Washington, D.C. to discuss the promising future of educational technology in America and the key role the application of cellular technology and devices can play in helping kids learn in the classroom.

“Mobile broadband technology is increasing efficiency and productivity for businesses across the country, and this year’s Mobile Learning Conference strongly suggests that the same can be true for America’s schools,” said David Diggs, Executive Director of The Wireless Foundation, a MLC09 co-sponsor.

“Based on the constructive exchange of ideas at the conference, we anticipate a bright future for mobile learning as a means to better serve classrooms and communities throughout the U.S., and to give every American student all of the advantages we can in today’s increasingly competitive global economy.”

One initiative highlighted at MLC09 was Project K-Nect, a pilot project that used advanced mobile wireless technology to improve math skills among at-risk ninth grade students in select North Carolina schools. The project is supported by Qualcomm through its Wireless Reach initiative.

Toshiba offers a new solution for people who want to manage their finances through their mobile phones. The Universal SIM (USIM) cards unveiled by Toshiba supports the Near Field Communications (NFC) short wireless range that can be used in many wireless payments systems.

NFC technology embedded in mobile phones is being trialled by several operators, such as O2 with its Wallet programme, to offer a range of information, payment and travel options simply by touching the phone to a reader.

The USIM application runs as part of the SIM card, and stores user information as well as the usual SIM functions such as storing contact and message data. This provides a secure way for the verification and transmission of account details.

If you happen to receive a certain plug or advertisement on your cell phone, you can be sure that the Atomic Blue Sender Software is responsible for it. Mobile marketing is touted as the new age of marketing for businesses and with this newly developed software from AtomPark Software, you can be sure that companies will start investing in it to build market awareness via the growing population of mobile phone users.

Of course, the Bluetooth connection must be enabled on phones. While some user have played it safe by turning it off (for security reasons against viruses), the probability of being sent advertisements via mobile technology is to be expected.

When Bluetooth-enabled devices are in range of the broadcast, the Atomic Blue Sender application (constantly scanning for such devices) finds the ones with Bluetooth set to discoverable and sends information to all of them. All you have to do is to add the files containing that information.

But again, the thing is that the Bluetooth connectivity of phones within range must be turned on. Also, users have to open it to see it.
