Alcatel reveals the "world's slimmest smartphone"

TCL Communication, the company behind Alcatel One Touch mobile phones, has announced the Android-powered One Touch Idol Ultra at this year’s CES consumer electronics show.

Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra

It’s just 6.45mm deep at its narrowest point yet offers a 4.7-inch HD AMOLED display, an 8 megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz dual-core processor - and is protected from water damage by P2i's liquid repellent nano-coating technology.

In addition the company has introduced the One Touch Scribe HD, which includes a 5-inch screen and uses the new MediaTek MT6589 quad-core chip.

Alain Lejeune , Head of Research and Development for Alcatel One Touch, said “The ONE TOUCH Idol device series represents a breakthrough in technology. We’ve pushed the barriers on design, resulting in devices that offer the perfect balance between ultra-slim form factor, large display, outstanding performance, and rich user experience, while keeping the devices affordably priced to consumers.”

Neither device currently has a UK release date.

Monitoring road quality with a standard smartphone and the Roadroid app

Resurfacing repairs required? There's an app...

Mark Bridge writes:

In the past five years, what started as an advertising message - “there’s an app for that” - has become a challenge to developers. It’s become part of 21st century culture. And it’s become an totem for journalists to pin their most outrageous app-based stories to.

Roadroid doesn’t need the attention-grabbing headlines.

Connect and charge your smartphone on the move

Mark Bridge writes:

What would you say to a tiny little device that enabled you to recharge your smartphone almost anywhere, whenever you wanted?

Using Bitcoin on a mobile phone: it's much easier than I expected

Mark Bridge writes:

Bitcoin, as Wikipedia tells me, is a peer-to-peer payment system introduced as open-source software in 2009. It’s a ‘virtual currency’ that can be used for transferring money and for buying products or services, although only if your chosen retailer accepts Bitcoin.
