Microsoft with Qualcomm snapdragon 835

Microsoft Qualcomm's ARM-Powered Windows 10 Laptops

 Microsoft with Qualcomm announced last year that they will get support for integrated ARM chipsets, Snapdragon SoCs. While the companies said that the first PCs with ARM chipsets will be coming in 2017, there was never a specific timeline mentioned for the launch. Now, Qualcomm has revealed that the first such laptops will be launched in fourth quarter this year.

Qualcomm in its latest investor call, announced that the first cellular laptop with Windows 10 and company's Snapdragon 835 SoC will be coming by the end of this year.
Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm said that Snapdragon 835 processor is expanding into mobile PC designs that run Windows 10 and is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter as per a Transcript of the earnings call. 
As Windows 10 devices currently only run on x86 chipsets from INTEL or AMD these will be the first devices to run Windows 10 that don't have a processor with x86 architecture. 

Terry Myerson Executive Vice President of the Windows and Devices Group at Microsoft confirmed last year that the initial focus would be on laptops but the company has envisioned a vast ecosystem of Windows 10 ARM devices.
"We're thinking about platform that supports small screens large screens devices with no screens at all head-mounted displays and so what can these device makers build will really be up to them" Myerson said at the time.
Earlier this month the Redmond-based company said that it is working with Qualcomm and Cavium to bring support for ARM chips to Windows Server OS. The server used in the demo ran on Qualcomm's 10nm Centriq 2400 and Cavium's flagship second generation 64-bit ThunderX2 ARMv8-A server processor- both especially designed ARM-based chips meant for cloud servers.

Qualcomm is a chipset provider. A potential success of 5G will certainly add new revenue streams for them. It is quite normal that mobile technology vendors not only them but also Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei etc. will want to showcase the possibilities with 5G and convince if possible the operators and consumers that there will be a revolution in this area.
I personally think that the 5G is currently being considered as a “revolutionary new technology” without fully identifying why and predictions about the 5G networks future are rather optimistic. It will not only require operators to invest as they have never done before but also the subscribers to significantly increase their spending. Achieving the massive machine connectivity, sub millisecond latency and huge increase in capacity and capability will certainly require a complete transformation in radio technology and the standards.
There are indeed many many super exciting 5G business models out there but most of them require a certain collaboration of companies like Qualcomm with different sectors and regulatory bodies in the pilot projects and trials. The success of this collaboration in my opinions is going to be key in the deployment of the phenomenon like massive IoT deployments, super low latency communications and ultra broadband cases.
Only this way, 5G will be the “revolutionary new technology” bringing disruptive change in societies such as a better technology experience and improved safety in our lives. Otherwise, current predictions on “what 5G will deliver” may utopian.

Phones without Charging

A signed to a connected device giving Strong signals in almost any environment The released patent does not gives detailed idea about the operating frequency and technology which will be going to use. But predictions could be match that frequency. In simple words there is no any tension of charging mobile phone time to time in future because as we enter in home charging of devices automatically get starts and as we are leaving home we get sufficient charging for all day use without any efforts. This technology is awesome as it reduces all the efforts of human as it requires for charging the Mobile phone. But cons of this technology is it reduces the battery life. Due to continues charging battery life decreases and we should replace the battery. This will interesting to see how apple will develop this technology . Low infection risk – For embedded medical devices, transmission of power via a magnetic field passing through the skin avoids the infection risks associated with wi...

Iron Man From UK with his Flying Unit

In TED Conference 2017 From UK 'Iron Man' demonstrates His Own flying suit A British inventor Richard Browning , who built an Iron Man model flight suit, has flown it  at the Ted event successfully .  He was inspired by his father, an aeronautical engineer who killed himself when Mr Browning was a teenager which sad part of his life.  He told the BBC in early interview that he always had a passion for making things and loved a challenge in life. "I did this entirely for the same reason that you might look at ,a mountain and decide to climb it - for the, journey and the challenge." He said he was also fascinated by the idea of human flight like an Iron man.  Richard Browning's short flight took place outside the Vancouver Convention Centre in front of a large crowd is moob making all around .  Since he posted the video Mr Browning has had huge interest in his flying suit building .  But he insists the project remains a bit of fun ...
