“To be working with Sprint is really exciting for us,” Peter Cunningham, vice president of product portfolio at Bullitt Group, told Digital Trends. “We think Sprint are a perfect partner for us to help us grow our business in the U.S.”

With regard to specific features, OUKITEL includes all of the standard flash, HDR, filters, Panoramic mode, blurring (listed on this devices under “SLR”), and pro settings that are typically found in Android AOSP camera software. It’s worth noting that the blurring feature is not the same as a “bokeh” effect, as the software will accomplish that on its own. However, the company also splits the automation in "Beauty" for more manual control over adjustments. Some of those are, at least in name, somewhat disconcerting — such as the option to ‘whiten’ skin tone, enlarge eyes, or ‘slim’ down facial features. But it may be useful for some users who want more fine-tuned control over their selfies. Moving past that, this camera is capable of shooting up to 40-shots in rapid succession and that’s accompanied by the thoughtful addition of a feature allowing the volume keys to act as hardware-based shutter buttons in the settings menu.

The glorious future, where people can use their PDAs to access their desktops NEW YORK–Envision this scenario-for the price of a local phone call, mobile workers use personal digital assistants run by off-the-shelf software to routinely access their own computers wirelessly via the Internet, turning their PDAs into virtual offices. The potential domestic market for such services is large and growing, according to Christopher Calisi, vice president of Symantec, a Cupertino, Calif., software developer. According to some projections, the ranks of “remote” workers in this country-many of them mobile sales and service employees-will more than double to 50 million by 2000 compared with 20 million today, Calisi noted. That means a third of the domestic work force will be remote employees by the turn of the century. PDAs have been winning a popularity contest against laptop computers, Calisi said at the recent Internet World ’96 Show. Even so, the proprietary software systems that run them have proven complicated to end-users and therefore a stumbling block to wider consumer acceptance. … Read more

Though it was made from outdated technology, the Game Boy and its descendants have often been used to test new tech. Heck, there was one GBA game with a solar panel in the cartridge. But more conducive to gaming was being able to track real-world motions in-game. This was first done in the Game Boy Color game Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble. The game involved tilting the Game Boy to move Kirby around the level and a built-in accelerometer could tell which way players tilted the handheld. This is pretty standard in mobile games now but Nintendo did it first.

The plastic front was melted, but the hardware itself was undamaged. In fact, it still works to this day. Nintendo has the Gulf War Game Boy on display at their store in New York City, playing a Tetris demo.

People have been trying to make replicate elements of the Tricorder since the 1990s. But it’s only in the last few years that the dream of creating a genuine Tricorder-type device has seemed within reach.

One of the most significant advantages of augmented reality in the supply chain is its use in training. New hires can often have a hard time finding their way through labyrinthian warehouses and locating products. AR can overlay lined paths to guide new hires exactly where they need to go. Boeing mechanics are known to use Google Glass while assembling airplane wiring so they have diagrams readily available without having to consult papers or mobile devices.

We’ve reviewed Cat phones before, most recently the flagship Cat S61, which packs a thermal imaging camera, an air quality sensor, and some other specialist tools for professionals, but it costs $1,000. The Cat S48c is a simpler prospect, but also much cheaper at $480 plus tax. You can also pick one up for $20 per month with Sprint Flex Lease. The Cat S48c is available from November 9. Stay tuned for a full review.

Broadly speaking, most rugged smartphones have to make trade-offs to reach their design goals, such as using an inelegant chassis, mediocre hardware inside, or rather ordinary displays. While the general reasons behind such design decisions are more or less obvious (e.g., keep their BOM costs and heat soak in check), there are many people who prefer to have a rugged smartphone without making quite so many compromises. The Ulefone Armor 6 in turn is looking to carve out a niche for itself in that market by offering a rugged design with above-average hardware.

There are certain aspects of the OUKITEL WP1 that stray far from perfect. The camera, material used in the rear-panel, speakers, and fingerprint scanner could all stand to be improved. None of those is really a deal breaker either. The fingerprint scanner works but will be noticeably slower for those who have used the technology before. Meanwhile, cosmetic damage to the back plate isn’t likely as big a concern as real damage for those looking into purchasing this type of handset. The kinds of issues seen with the camera and speakers are at best easy to overcome and at worse a minor nuisance. In fact, the performance, features, and really almost everything about this handset is well-aligned with typical expectations for a device in the sub-$250 price range. On the other side of that coin, OUKITEL has really outdone itself to include wireless charging here and the WP1 is worth a look for anybody in the market for an affordable but rugged smartphone.
