FINIS gets out of the pool with open water GPS tracker

For those of us who just swim lengths in pools, keeping track of where we've swum is pretty easy. When it comes to triathletes and other people who swim in lakes or the open ocean, however, there aren't any lane markers to look back on. Instead, they can now use the Hydro Tracker GPS, made by California water sports tech company FINIS. The waterproof device attaches to the user's goggle straps, then uses GPS technology to create a map of where they've been, while also recording performance data.

The Hydro Tracker doesn't require any calibration - it features two-button operation, and using it pretty much just consists of turning it on when one hits the water. Because its goggle-strap attachment method keeps it located on the back of the head, it is able to maintain a fairly consistent GPS signal connection ... assuming the user doesn't swim on their back too much, presumably.
It's powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, that's good for up to 16 hours of use per charge. In order to come close to that 16-hour figure, users will want to adjust the GPS data sampling rate, so that information is gathered at farther-spaced intervals.

HTC One X

Mobile World Congress has already brought a lot of great phones, and the show floor hasn't even opened yet. But there's just something about Peter Chou's latest creation that has us more eager to play with it than anything else we've seen so far (and perhaps for the rest of the show). We're talking, of course, about the One X, the absolute top of the line model of HTC's trio of One series devices announced tonight. The "superphone" (Peter's words, not ours) is packing the entire deck of cards: a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 CPU (for the global version; the LTE version uses Qualcomm's S4 Krait processor), 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 4.7 inches of 720p Super LCD 2 non-PenTile gorgeousness, Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0 on top, 8MP rear camera with f/2.0 lens and 1080p HD video, to name a few.

First impressions? In a nutshell, we're blown away. It feels wonderful to hold in our hand, it's got the full suite of specs we like to see, the camera's as quick as HTC claims, and the device flies -- in fact, we'd be amiss not to mention the fact that the vendor's ICS-backed Sense UI is much lighter than any of its predecessors and doesn't bog down the performance at all. And keep in mind that this is in all likelihood still running on pre-production firmware. Impressive, to say the least. Our only beef with the device is the lack of a physical shutter button, especially given the firm's commitment to providing stellar camera performance. We're not ready to crown the One X as the best of the show yet -- we have four days' worth of MWC left, after all -- but it's one device we'll be returning to spend more quality time with on the show floor. If you want to share in the enjoyment, head to the gallery below, or the video after the break.

Huawei to launch quad-core processor at MWC?

Rumours of Huawei bringing quad-core superphones to Mobile World Congress appear to be bearing fruit – and it looks like the Chinese company could be bringing its own quad-core processor to the party.
Huawei had inadvertently let slip plans to launch a new quad-core phone – the Ascend D1 Q – at MWC, to sit alongside its Android 4.0 dual-core Ascend P1 S (pictured). And the assumption had been that the Ascend D1 Q would come rocking a Tegra 3 processor like the rumoured LG X3, HTC Endeavor and Asus Padfone.
Now, if the scuttlebutt over at The Verge is anything to go by, Huawei is prepping a quad-core processor that could be up to twice as fast as the Tegra 3. Whether it'll be packed into the Ascend D1 Q has yet to be confirmed, but we'll find out for sure at MWC.
If those specs are to be believed, Huawei's move into high-end smartphones will shake things up with reprecussions on the Richter scale. We'll be bringing you the latest from Mobile World Congress on our dedicated MWC page later in the month – and this is one rumour we'll be investigating with interest.

Windows Phone Tango screenshots leak

Microsoft is gearing up for the next update of its Windows Phone OS, but it looks like some Russians have been dancing the Tango early.
Screenshots of Windows Phone 7.6 Tango have leaked on Russian site WP7forum.ru, showing off some of its new features.

Those features include a native voice recording app and the ability to add multiple attachments to a single MMS message, as seen above. You'll also be able to automatically download and update apps via Zune, as well as manage roaming settings.
Tango is something of a stopgap to broaden the Windows Phone users base before the big update, Apollo, hits later in the year. As such it's aimed at users of budget devices, lowering its requirements to 256MB RAM instead of the current 384MB, and adding support for 3MP cameras instead of the existing 5MP minimum spec.

If you're using a phone with 256MB RAM, Tango will work – albeit with some restrictions, which it will flag up. Some applications won't install, while 3rd party Live Tiles won't automatically update. In addition, you won't be able to manage podcasts on your Windows Phone, and it won't handle video streams greater than 4MBs.
Finally, Tango will let you export contacts to their phone's SIM card and manage contacts directly on the SIM – in a bid to encourage you to upgrade your phone.

Microsoft is expected to reveal more details of Tango – and possibly its successor, Apollo – at Mobile World Congress later in the month. We'll be bringing you all the latest news from MWC, so be sure to check back for all the details.

Is the Samsung O Table the future of cooking?

Samsung has pulled back the curtain on a device we’re not used to seeing from its high-tech stable – a portable kitchen hob.

Looking more like a set of weighing scales than a cooking contraption, Samsung’s O Table (spotted by Pocket-Lint) has already turned heads with its unique stylings, snapping up an IF design award.
How does it work? The O Table is controlled by what Samsung is calling a ‘groove touch pad,’ which reacts to circular gestures to control its heat output. It also features intelligent pan detection tech and boil power preventative measures, ensuring that this portable cooker is as foolproof as possible.

Other clever features include the ability to disable itself when small objects like cutlery (or Lego men placed on it by your curious five year old) are detected. Plus it'll shut off automatically when not in use.

The O Table will come in a veritable rainbow of different colours, including Ruby Red and Mint Green. When it will be available – and for how much – has yet to be revealed.

8-Bitty Bluetooth Game Controller

There are several reasons why you would not want to play arcade games on a touchscreen. Your fingers are too thick; you end up pressing “outside the buttons” (but there are no buttons to begin with); you do not find it as exciting as playing with a game pad.

It also includes an auto power save mode and requires 2 AAA batteries to work.


The online shop promises the mobile gaming peeps that this device will hook up to iOS or Android devices. The 8-Bitty is compatible with all iCade games available in Apple and Android app stores, as well as a bunch of Atari games apps. The device will be available “later this year” with an expected price of $24.99.

Science ESA's Vega rocket takes flight, delivers low-tonnage objects to high places

On Monday, the European Space Agency (ESA) conducted a successful test of its newest projectile, the Vega rocket. Designed to carry up to nine objects totaling less than 2.5 metric tons ("tonnes," for those in the know) into orbit, the four-stage vehicle stands 30 meters tall and weighs in at just under 140 metric tons when fully loaded. The rocket aims to solve a key -- if slightly humdrum -- problem: at present, European researchers send their instrumentation into space on retrofitted Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). The Vega platform should provide greater launch flexibility and reduce the delay (which can be months) scientists experience while waiting to hitch a ride on an ICBM. Although still in the testing stage, Monday's maiden voyage was a promising first step for the new spacecraft. Hit the source for more rocket-related excitement.
