New ZTE smartphones revealed at Mobile World Congress

ZTE’s promise to introduce eight new mobile devices at Mobile World Congress was made good on Monday.

The ZTE Era, which will be available in the second half of this year, is a slim Android phone running the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core chip. It’s 7.8mm deep and has a 4.3-inch screen.

Other devices included the Android-powered ZTE PF112 with a 4.5-inch screen, two new quad-core tablets for the European market and a Windows Phone handset called the ZTE Orbit. In addition, ZTE introduced an Android smartphone user interface called ZTE MiFavor, bringing the option of up to nine ‘home’ screens.

He Shiyo, ZTE Executive Vice President and Head of the Terminals Division, said “Last year, ZTE terminal shipments grew by 50%, exceeding our objectives, and we achieved a 400% increase in smartphone shipments. This growth has been worldwide - ZTE smart terminal shipments in Europe increased by over 300% last year, and terminal shipments in the US by 100%. Revenue from international business is now over 60% of ZTE’s terminal revenues. Our long-term goal for the Terminals Division is to achieve a compound growth rate of above 40% per year for five consecutive years from 2010, and to become one of the top three vendors in the global handset market by 2015. This extensive new range of handsets, tablets, datacards and user features we are announcing here at Mobile World Congress 2012 will help us drive this momentum through 2012 and beyond. This is a new era for ZTE branded devices.”

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
