Linux mobile software firm plants flag in China
A design center in the South of France specializing in Linux mobile phone development has opened offices in Beijing. Purple Labs's China office will be headed by newly appointed GM of Asian sales Gordon Tsang (pictured at left), formerly of Openwave.
Based in Chambery, France, Purple Labs is said to offer "one-stop" services "from hardware reference design to a complete customizable Linux software suite." Its published, open source Linux suite is based on a 2.4.20 kernel, with optimizations for TI OMAP730 and OMAP850 chips. It targets mid-tier feature-phones, which advanced features like multimedia playback and videoconferencing.
Purple Labs is perhaps best known for designing the Grundig G500i "Dreamphone" (pictured at right), a quad-band GSM/EDGE phone designed to work with iMode, the Internet-like packet-switched data service created by NTT/DoCoMo. iMode is hugely popular in Japan, and also available in other areas where DoCoMo has been able to sell iMode infrastructure equipment -- for example, in France, where mobile operator Bouygues ("Bweeg") offers iMode service and distributes the Dreamphone.
Compared to Linux-based Japanese iMode phones from NEC, Panasonic, and others, the Dreamphone is smaller and more fashionable, Purple Labs said when it shipped the device a couple of years ago. The company has since shipped several newer Linux-based designs, including the Blackberry-like B700 and the interesting single-core U900, which uses virtualization technology from VirtualLogix to run Linux and a baseband RTOS on the same processor core.
In September, Purple Labs announced it had raised $14.5 million (10.5 Euros) in an initial funding round, and a few weeks ago the company joined the Linux Mobile (LiMo) Foundation phone platform group. The company is also a member of a more formal standards group called the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum.
In his new role as GM/VP of Asia sales, Gordon Tsang will lead the office in establishing local technical support while expanding sales opportunities in the region, says Purple Labs. Tsang has held executive positions at a series of mobile-phone software companies, including Zi Corporation, Magic4, and most recently, Openwave Systems, where he was VP and GM for the worldwide client software business, heading up sales and professional services.
Stated Simon Wilkinson, CEO of Purple Labs, "Gordon was instrumental in establishing Magic4 as the global leader in mobile messaging, and I am very happy to welcome him to Purple Labs."
In conjunction with the new Beijing office, Purple Labs launched a Chinese-language website.

Handset Recycling and Refurbishment
Impact on Primary Handset Sales and Opportunities for Mobile Operators, Handset Vendors, Recycling Companies and Retailers
In 2007, over 60% of all handsets sold worldwide are likely to be replacements. These high handset replacement sales also mean that large numbers of old handsets are lying around with users. They can be recycled for reuse. In addition, there are also handsets that customers return to operators and retailers within the accepted 14-day or 1-month period, for refund or a new replacement. These devices are generating a growing market for recycled and refurbished handsets. Using second-hand units, operators are able to start generating profits on low margin accounts much more quickly rather than having to wait to recover subsidies on new handsets.
This study focuses on the growing market for recycled and refurbished handsets and the opportunities and challenges it offers for handset vendors, mobile operators, recycling companies, and retailers.

Navigation device uses Linux phone platform
Updated 3:40 P.M., PST] -- A Sunnyvale, Calif.-based start-up announced a WiFi- and GPRS/GSM-equipped navigation device based on a newly upgraded Linux-based mobile phone platform. Dash Navigation's "Dash Express" borrows both hardware and software components from OpenMoko's forthcoming Neo FreeRunner mobile phone, and boasts continual two-way Internet communications.
The Dash Express is positioned as the first in-car navigation device to feature a continuous connection to the Internet. The Dash network monitors available wireless options and chooses the best pick between cellular radio and WiFi to download traffic data, map updates, and other information from the Internet. The always-connected architecture enables an interesting "user-influenced" traffic monitoring system, in which Dash computers anonymously transmit location information to the Dash network, which can advise drivers of best routes, the company says.
The Dash Express is based on the Neo FreeRunner design (pictured at right) that OpenMoko unveiled yesterday. The FreeRunner updates OpenMoko's original Neo1973 -- one of the very first Linux-based phones to feature a user-replaceable OS -- with a faster processor, new 3D graphics acceleration, WiFi, 850MHz triband GSM capability, and 3D accelerometers.
Dash Express uses the Neo FreeRunner's hardware design minus the 3D graphics acceleration, accelerometers, and Bluetooth, and adds 3GB of flash storage (instead of 256MB), as well as a stronger GPS receiver and larger antenna. The navigation device also borrows the open source Linux kernel and bootloader maintained by OpenMoko.org, a community effort to build a mobile phone entirely from open source software. However, despite its close relation to OpenMoko, the Dash Express is not designed to run user-modified Linux stacks.
CTO Bob Curry explained, "We can upgrade the OS over-the-air, but unlike the Neo phone, the Dash Express is not designed for hacking."
Both the Dash Express and the Neo FreeRunner will be manufactured by OpenMoko's former parent company, First International Computer (FIC) -- one of the world's largest consumer electronics and PC manufacturers -- and both will be demonstrated by OpenMoko at next week's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.
Touted Dash Express features include:
Two-way Internet access via WiFi or cellular communication
Navigation and mapping features
Unlimited Yahoo! local search
Traffic routing system combines data from traditional traffic sources with anonymously gathered traffic information from other Dash-connected drivers
Routing service provides up to three options to each requested destination based on flow patterns rather than incident data

The Dash Express is positioned as the first in-car navigation device to feature a continuous connection to the Internet. The Dash network monitors available wireless options and chooses the best pick between cellular radio and WiFi to download traffic data, map updates, and other information from the Internet. The always-connected architecture enables an interesting "user-influenced" traffic monitoring system, in which Dash computers anonymously transmit location information to the Dash network, which can advise drivers of best routes, the company says.
The Dash Express is based on the Neo FreeRunner design (pictured at right) that OpenMoko unveiled yesterday. The FreeRunner updates OpenMoko's original Neo1973 -- one of the very first Linux-based phones to feature a user-replaceable OS -- with a faster processor, new 3D graphics acceleration, WiFi, 850MHz triband GSM capability, and 3D accelerometers.
Dash Express uses the Neo FreeRunner's hardware design minus the 3D graphics acceleration, accelerometers, and Bluetooth, and adds 3GB of flash storage (instead of 256MB), as well as a stronger GPS receiver and larger antenna. The navigation device also borrows the open source Linux kernel and bootloader maintained by OpenMoko.org, a community effort to build a mobile phone entirely from open source software. However, despite its close relation to OpenMoko, the Dash Express is not designed to run user-modified Linux stacks.
CTO Bob Curry explained, "We can upgrade the OS over-the-air, but unlike the Neo phone, the Dash Express is not designed for hacking."
Both the Dash Express and the Neo FreeRunner will be manufactured by OpenMoko's former parent company, First International Computer (FIC) -- one of the world's largest consumer electronics and PC manufacturers -- and both will be demonstrated by OpenMoko at next week's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.
Touted Dash Express features include:
Two-way Internet access via WiFi or cellular communication
Navigation and mapping features
Unlimited Yahoo! local search
Traffic routing system combines data from traditional traffic sources with anonymously gathered traffic information from other Dash-connected drivers
Routing service provides up to three options to each requested destination based on flow patterns rather than incident data
Service is claimed capable of automatically alerting drivers when a faster route becomes available

Its unique flip covers the keypad for a minimalist look. Available in trendy colours including Electric Black with orange accents, the phone is a classy yet modern statement that is never out of place whether at a music gig or a football match.
True Walkman player experience
The W350s Walkman player can easily be accessed and operated even without opening its flip cover. With Walkman on Top, key MP3 functions including Play, Pause and Scroll are outside the phones flip cover so you can use it just like you would a standalone MP3 player.

Youre at the bar, and a song plays that you used to love... but you just cant place it! Sounds familiar? Weve all experienced this, and thanks to TrackID TM, it need never happen again. Just record a few seconds of the song into the phones microphone (or tag it from the built-in radio) and use TrackIDTM to identify it. The phone provides you with the name of the song, the artist, and even the album so that you can download it and enjoy it again and again.

Koreas First Ever USB Type Credit Card
Shinhan Card rolled out Koreas first ever USB type credit card on December 27.
The USB credit card provides the online and contactless payment function and works the post-paid transportation card as well.
The built-in IC chip includes the public authorization and the internet credit payment programs.
During the online payment, users do not need to insert the credit card number.
Rather, they can pay by connecting the USB to the slot. At the franchise stores with the IC card reader, it enables the no-touch payment.
The card also supports the information inquiry and the automatic log-in service using the public authorization and the built-in internet payment programs.
However, it is limited for users to delete or save data so that the USB itself cannot be used as a portable storage device.
Shinhan Card plans to issue the existing plastic credit card, Shinhan Love Card, as well until the IC chip readers become popular among the franchise stores.
The company said, It provides the online and contactless payment functions. And the card itself can be an accessory as well. We think those young customers familiar with the online and mobile payment will prefer the USB type credit card.
