LG Releases New Firefox OS Smartphone – LG Fireweb
Telefonica announced that Vivo will sell the new LG Fireweb and Alcatel One Touch Fire Firefox OS phones in Brazil, starting today. Telefonica also announced that they will launch Firefox OS phones soon in Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.
Firefox OS smartphones are the first devices powered completely by Web technologies to deliver the performance, personalization and price you want in a smartphone with a beautiful, intuitive and easy-to-use experience that is unmatched by any other phone.
Today’s news marks the world’s first launch of a LG Firefox OS device. The LG Fireweb comes with a 4 inch screen, a 5 MP camera, and fun features out of the box like Facebook integration, games like Cut the Rope and a new way to discover apps.
Firefox OS has all the things you need from a smartphone as well as the things you want like built-in social integration with Facebook and Twitter, HERE Maps with offline capabilities, much-loved features like the Firefox Web browser, the Firefox Marketplace and much more.
Firefox OS features a brand new concept for smartphones – an adaptive app search that literally transforms the phone to meet your needs and interests at any moment. Simply start to type what you are interested in and instantly get a whole new customized phone experience based on your needs. You can discover apps to use once or download to keep, giving you a completely customized experience with the exact content you want, when you want it.
You can also find apps in the Firefox Marketplace, which already has popular global apps like Badoo, Box, EA games like Poppit, Facebook, KAYAK, SoundCloud, The Weather Channel, TimeOut, TMZ, Tuenti and Twitter.
The Firefox Marketplace has more than 50 relevant national Brazil apps including UOL, BOL, SporTV, Dieta e Saúde, Editora Globo, Galinha Pintadinha, Kekanto, Vivo my App, Vivo Chat and more.
New Firefox OS phones will have the latest version of Firefox OS (1.1), which includes many performance improvements and new features like MMS messaging. Existing Firefox OS users will be upgraded to the latest version soon.
Firefox OS is an extension of the Firefox desktop and mobile browsing experience that hundreds of millions of people know and love, so you can expect all the security, privacy, customization and user control Firefox always delivers.
Mozilla is working on Firefox OS with more than 20 hardware and operator partners to deliver a better and more attainable smartphone experience to first time smartphone buyers around the world, as only 21 percent of global mobile subscribers have smartphones (according to Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers).
According to the president of Telefónica Vivo, Antonio Carlos Valente, Firefox OS represents a relevant option to the smartphone market, currently dominated by operational systems controlled by large international companies. “We intend to offer a totally new experience to the customer at affordable prices and where the features and the evolution of the system will be defined by the immense Firefox OS developer community and not for any particular company”, says the executive.
Jay Sullivan, COO of Mozilla, states, “We built Firefox OS as part of Mozilla’s mission to put the power of the Web in people’s hands and offer the best Web experience possible. We’re happy to see Firefox OS gain momentum with partners launching new devices in new markets and developers around the world being inspired to innovate. Our partnership with Telefónica Vivo demonstrates the rich, new experiences offered on Firefox OS by combining the best global and local content with LG’s elegant new device experience.”

Corning and Samsung Strengthen Strategic Collaborations
Corning to acquire full ownership of SCP, enabling significant synergies
Corning’s board authorizes additional $2 billion share repurchase program
Actions expected to be immediately accretive on fully diluted basis for Corning
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced that it is entering into a series of strategic and financial agreements with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., intended to strengthen product and technology collaborations between the two companies. These agreements will allow Corning to extend its leadership in specialty glass and drive earnings growth. Corning expects the transactions to close in the first quarter of 2014.
The series of transactions, subject to closing conditions being met, will result in:
Corning obtaining full ownership of Samsung Corning Precision Materials Co., Ltd. (SCP), an unconsolidated equity venture with Samsung Display that manufactures LCD glass in Korea. Samsung Display currently owns 43% of SCP.
After redemption of their interest in SCP, Samsung Display’s investment in new convertible preferred shares of Corning with an aggregate face amount of $1.9 billion.
Corning’s acquisition of the other shareholders’ minority interests in SCP for an expected proportional cash payment.
Samsung Display’s additional $400 million investment in Corning by subscribing to new convertible preferred shares.
Using Corning’s current share count, Samsung Display’s combined investment in Corning would result in approximately 7.4% ownership on an as-converted basis.
A new long-term LCD display glass supply agreement between Corning and Samsung Display through 2023.
A strengthening of the two companies’ technology collaborations on strategic product development and commercialization initiatives.
In addition, Corning’s board of directors has authorized an additional $2 billion of share repurchases through Dec. 31, 2015, dependent upon the transaction closing.
“We are excited to enter this new era of collaboration in our 40-year equity relationship with Samsung, one of the world leaders in consumer electronics,” Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer and president, said. “The agreements provide important financial and strategic benefits to both Corning and Samsung.”
“Corning and its shareholders will realize attractive financial returns as the transactions produce immediate earnings accretion through the addition of the remainder of SCP, substantial cost synergies and significant incremental free cash flow. Our new long-term supply agreement will provide Corning steady demand in the global LCD market. By leveraging SCP’s fusion-based manufacturing assets, we will further extend our leadership in advanced glass. This affords us greater flexibility in servicing customers, managing capacity, and minimizing capital spending as we expand production of Corning® Gorilla® Glass and pursue new specialty glass applications,” he added.
“We are pleased to have an opportunity to strengthen the strategic ties between our two companies,” Kinam Kim, president and chief executive officer of Samsung Display, said. “We look forward to concentrating our efforts and combining our expertise in product development with Corning’s renowned leadership in glass technologies to develop new market opportunities in consumer products and other industries.”
Corning Expects to Realize Immediate and Long-Term Financial Benefits
“Shareholders will benefit from access to $1.2 billion which represents Corning’s share of existing cash on SCP’s balance sheet, as well as the cumulative incremental free cash flow going forward, which could total $2 billion over the next four years,” Weeks said. The structure of the transaction will also immediately increase Corning’s domestic cash balances.
He added, “Synergies from integrating our worldwide fusion glass assets should approach $100 million pretax in 2015 and continue to grow thereafter. We believe that accretion to Corning’s core earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis of approximately 20% in 2014 and 2015, can be generated from the combination of profits from the soon-to-be acquired 50% of SCP; the resulting manufacturing synergies; and the impact of the additional share repurchase program. The impact of the additional share repurchase program should offset the potential dilution of shares embedded in the convertible preferred security. The transaction should add approximately $2 billion in annual sales; $350 million in incremental profit before special items; and approximately $500 million in additional cash flow to Corning.”
Corning also expects to realize increased flexibility in glass-melting capabilities, which should bring added capital savings. Furthermore, the company will re-evaluate the need for major capital expenditures for additional fusion glass manufacturing assets.
The new convertible preferred shares will have an annual 4.25% coupon and are convertible into common shares based on a price of $20 per common share. The preferred shares are not convertible for seven years, subject to certain exceptions, and contain only limited voting rights until conversion. Effective today, Corning and Samsung have entered into a standstill agreement that limits Samsung’s activities with respect to Corning’s shares and governance. Effective upon closing, a shareholder agreement between Corning and Samsung will limit Samsung’s ownership to no more than 9% of Corning’s common shares on an as-converted basis. The transaction contains a re-pricing mechanism that will account for changes in SCP’s glass prices, volume and Japanese yen to U.S. dollar exchange.
Corning has LCD glass manufacturing operations in the United States, Japan, Taiwan and China. Samsung Corning Precision Materials has LCD glass manufacturing facilities in Korea. Following completion of the transaction, the SCP organization will be integrated into Corning’s Display Technologies segment. Corning will be able to service all specialty glass customers in all regions directly, utilizing its manufacturing facilities throughout Asia. U.S. Corsam Technologies LLC, and Samsung Corning Advanced Glass LLC, both equity affiliates established between Corning and Samsung Display, will continue under their current agreements.

J'son & Partners Consulting: Prospects for LTE - infrastructure, applications and customer base, 2013-2018
The company J'son & Partners Consulting presented the main results of the study "Prospects for LTE: infrastructure, applications and customer base, 2013-2018", noting that at the beginning of September 2013 in the 81 countries of the world, there were 213 commercial networks LTE, in 2017 was projected to rise to 400 networks in 120 countries around the world. The number of subscribers is expected to grow from 100 million in May 2013 to 900 million by the end of 2017
LTE networks will introduce a number of promising applications that are difficult or even impossible to previous generations of networks - "enhanced multimedia services» (Rich Communication Service, RCS), a broadcast streaming eMBMS, LTE-Direct, the application in the field of public safety. It is planned to actively use the LTE technology in various sectors of the economy - in the industrial sector, agriculture, construction, health care, etc., as well as in the segment of public safety.
Recently, there are also new business models, such as those associated with the use of femtocells. Thus, the model FaaS (Femto as a Service) allows operators to deploy their own network of small cells without significant investment and the need to have your own femtoshlyuz.
Despite the improved performance, LTE networks and LTE-Advanced is waiting for gradual implementation. The main trend - a smooth transition from circuit 3G/HSPA, which show almost the same high performance as LTE, in many areas and applications.
In the medium term (5-6 years), the largest Russian mobile operators is not only to build a 4G network in accordance with the licensing requirements and their own investment plans, but also to find effective ways to monetize LTE networks to prevent loss of revenue due to increasing popularity of mobile OTT-services , increasing pressure from the regulator and the possible deterioration of the economic situation.
The main tasks of the operators in the near future will be the solution to voice over LTE (VoLTE), the consolidation of efforts to establish a system of alternative inter-carrier communications (RCS or equivalent), the introduction of small cells to provide indoor coverage, the problems of the international LTE-roaming, the penetration smartphones on their networks and the search for promising applications for both mass and for vertical markets.
LTE networks will introduce a number of promising applications that are difficult or even impossible to previous generations of networks - "enhanced multimedia services» (Rich Communication Service, RCS), a broadcast streaming eMBMS, LTE-Direct, the application in the field of public safety. It is planned to actively use the LTE technology in various sectors of the economy - in the industrial sector, agriculture, construction, health care, etc., as well as in the segment of public safety.

Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 800 and LTE-A arrives in Europe
It looks like those in European nations will soon be able to buy a Galaxy S4 that’s as fast and quick as all the recent Android flagships, including Samsung’s own Galaxy Note 3, as the Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy S4 has made its way to Europe, ending its South Korean exclusivity. The upgraded variant comes with four processor cores clocked at 2.3GHz and also supports LTE-A connectivity (up to 150mbps), though the latter is something that’s not yet available almost anywhere in the world.

It should be a great option if you’re looking to buy a new Samsung device with top-of-the-line specs but aren’t comfortable with the Note 3′s big screen, nor want to settle for the original Galaxy S4.
Oh, and by the way, if you’re looking for a Snapdragon 800-powered device with water and dust-resistance, then you might want to wait for the Galaxy S4 Active that is also rumored to be getting the processor upgrade.

Samsung To Enforce The Usage Of Genuine Accessories – Find Out How
Last week we’ve discussed a bit about the rumors suggesting that Samsung is currently working on taking the battery technology to the next level. As we’ve mentioned before, throughout the year Samsung has dealt with quite a lot of negative publicity due to the fact that various Samsung smartphones have either caught on fire, or exploded.
The majority of these unfortunate happenings seem to have been linked with the usage of 3rd party battery packs and/or chargers, which brings us to a fresh and very interesting rumor coming straight from the Korean media. Long story short, Samsung might enforce the usage of genuine accessories in the future. More details below.
Samsung To Enforce The Usage Of Genuine Accessories – Find Out How
Samsung Working on Enforcing the Usage of Genuine Accessories?
According to the Korean media, Samsung is now considering the possibility of equipping its future smartphones and accessories with an ID chip. These chips will be used in identifying whether or not an accessory is genuine, and if the chip is missing, then your smartphone might not work properly anymore.
According to the source, the ID chip could be used in chargers, battery packs, and even covers. Evidently, this leads us to two main conclusions.
First of all, Samsung might want to avoid bad publicity from affecting its image in the future, due to the misuse of 3rd party / unofficial accessories. The Korean manufacturer might want to prevent its smartphones to blow, which is a really nice thought. On the other hand, it wouldn’t surprise us if Samsung might want to turn the tables, and use these unfortunate events in order to “weed out” and monopolize the accessory market. Smaller companies will either have to stop developing 3rd party accessories for Samsung devices, or they might be force to strike a deal with the Korean manufacturer, in order for them to become authorized partners and be able to use these official ID chips.
In the end, it seems like Samsung is dealing with a win-win scenario. How this will affect us, the consumers, remains to be seen, but if this becomes a reality, then I predict some slightly higher prices for genuine accessories. Any thoughts?

This will reportedly be done with the use of an ID chip, which will be embedded in accessories (chargers, battery packs, and even covers) and used to authorize that they’re official before they work.
Now, if this indeed happens, then it will bring along both benefits and disadvantages. In case of benefits, this would ensure that the frequency of accidents such as batteries catching fire and damaging the device/property – which are usually the result of third-party batteries being used – would be reduced. However, the flip side of this that you won’t be able to use accessories not approved by Samsung, leaving only Samsung’s official accessories as the option, which would be bad when you consider how costly those things are.
Of course, Samsung will still allow third-party accessory makers to get certification for use with the company’s devices, but it could hurt consumer choice, especially in terms of price. At the moment this is just a rumor, but with Samsung’s recent antics, we wouldn’t be surprised if this is the next step it will take in its goal to make things more difficult for consumers.

Samsung announces Galaxy Note 10.1 – 2014 Edition in India, priced at Rs. 49,990
Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Gear, and the Galaxy Note 10.1 – 2014 Edition in India back in mid-September, and while the phablet and smartwatch have been available in the country for some time, now folks can also grab the company’s latest 10.1-inch tablet. It is priced at Rs. 49,990 (~$810), which is pretty much the same price the Galaxy Note 3 was launched for, which isn’t surprising considering the similar specs of the two, apart from the difference in screen sizes.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 boasts the most pixel-dense display Samsung has put on a tablet after the Nexus 10, with a 10.1-inch Super Clear LCD screen of 2560×1600 resolution. It is powered by a 1.9GHz octa-core Exynos 5 processor along with 3GB of RAM, and also includes an 8-megapixel rear camera, 16GB internal storage and a microSD slot, an 8,220mAh battery, and runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It will offer the same improved S Pen as the Note 3. The model launched in India is the 3G-enabled version, which is great since Wi-Fi hotspots are rather few and far between in the country.

Smartphone vendors ramping up offerings of 5-inch entry-level models
Smartphones with a display size of 5-inch and a price tag of US$300-400 have become mainstream models of the entry-level smartphone segment, attracting not only China-based handset suppliers but also international brands including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Sony Mobile Communications and HTC to launch new 5-inch models for the market, according to industry sources.
To counter competition from China-based players, Sony Mobile launched its first entry-level 5-inch model, the Xperia C, in China and other markets starting late June 2013, indicated the sources, adding that Sony Mobile shipped nearly one million units of the Xperia C in three months after the launch.
HTC enhanced its offerings of 5-inch models by launching three additional models, the Desire 709d, Desire 7060 and Desire 7088, recently in China. The devices were launched in cooperation with China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom, respectively.
The three models, available for around US$350 unlocked, all come with a 5-inch screen with a qHD resolution and a Qualcomm 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 CPU and an 8-megapixel camera at the back, while supporting dual-SIM functionality.
Also targeting the large-size smartphone segment, LG's 5.5-inch model, the LG G pro Lite, is set to be available in November. Having hardware specifications comparable to its latest flagship model the G2, a 16GB version of the G pro Lite is likely to be available for US$350, the sources estimated.
LG's planned launch of the Nexus 5 in cooperation with Google will also serve as an important hardware indicator for other brands to follow, commented the sources.

ALL-IN-ONE: THE NOKIA LUMIA 2520 TABLET
Today, Nokia introduces its first Windows tablet, the Nokia Lumia 2520, running on Windows RT 8.1.
“It’s a complete package,” product manager Paul Bischof told Conversations. “It takes everything you’ve got in your desktop or laptop and crams all that into a device that’s only 8.9mm thick and weighs a little over a pound.”True mobile companion
A true child of Nokia’s mobile heritage, the Lumia 2520 is made to support life on the go, designed for mobility, reliability, longevity and with a unique sense of style and colour.
The Nokia Lumia 2520 is ideal for life on the move, with features that extend its usefulness out and about. The high definition 1080p, 10.1-inch screen is made using Gorilla Glass 2 for toughness, and has been made to give less reflection than other tablets in the marketplace, a superior brightness range to see your content in different lighting environments, as well as a wide-viewing angle, for sharing or presenting. A 4G LTE modem and WiFi ensure lightning fast communications wherever you are.
Paul explains that the components, including the punchy Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor were selected for flawless performance from the touch-screen OS, without soaking up the battery. “The system is designed to selectively cut down power consumption when it’s not needed,” he explains.While it’s running a full computer operating system, the Lumia 2520’s battery is capable of such feats as playing video for ten hours non-stop without a charge. The battery also offers a quick start with its ultra-fast charging time. It can go from zero to 80 per-cent charged in an hour.
Alongside the Nokia Lumia 2520, we’re releasing the Nokia Power Keyboard, a natural companion for the new device. It offers a keyboard with a touchpad, of course, but also wraps right round the tablet to offer complete protection without needing a separate case. The Power Keyboard also contains an extra battery for up to five hours extra use, plus two USB ports, for whatever other accessories you wish to attach.
Media darling
On the back, there’s a high quality 6.7-megapixel camera with ZEISS optics and an f1.9 aperture that delivers great low light performance. This is supported by two new apps from Nokia – Storyteller and Video Director, which will help you make the most of the media you capture and create. On the front, a secondary 2-megapixel camera allows for crystal clear video calls. We’ll be describing Storyteller and Video Director in more detail in separate posts.
The Windows RT 8.1 operating system offers a complete Microsoft Outlook and Office experience, preinstalled, at no extra cost. Also, from Nokia, you’ll find a new version of HERE Maps, making this the first tablet with a true offline mapping capability. There’s also Nokia Music onboard, for free streaming and offline Mixes.
Presented in red, cyan, white and black, the Nokia Lumia 2520 will initially be available for sale in the US, UK and Finland at an estimated price of USD 499 before local taxes and subsidies. It will be spreading to other markets shortly after.

STANDING TALL: THE NOKIA LUMIA 1520 AND LUMIA 1320
Today, at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi, Nokia unveiled its two new large screen smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320.
Both devices feature 6-inch screens to make the most of the enhanced Windows Phone Start screen and three columns for Live tiles allowing you to see and do more on the larger screen.
Bigger is better
The Nokia Lumia 1520 features a 1080p full HD screen, 20MP PureView camera with optical image stabilization, enhanced sensor technology, oversampling and outstanding zoom capabilities, along with the latest imaging app called Nokia Camera. You will also enjoy the new Nokia Storyteller app to relive your memories in a new and dynamic way and truly share better stories with your friends and family.
Nokia Storyteller automatically integrates the pictures from your phone with HERE location information and creates a chronological picture journey on a map. Look up points of interests, get contact information and check out user reviews all directly from Nokia Storyteller for an interactive experience. It also automatically plays back animated pictures, videos and smart photos so your stories truly come to life.
But the stories don’t stop with the Nokia apps alone. With Twitter Vine soon available for the first time for Windows Phone 8, you can capture and tweet short looping videos to share more via social media. Or maybe you just want to share all of your new photos and quick video clips. Now you can with Instagram for Windows Phone 8.
And to capture some stunning videos, the Lumia 1520 features Nokia Rich Recording with four microphones, providing directional stereo recording capability to capture distortion free audio from the preferred direction for clear, accurate sound. (We will have more information to share with you about the Lumia 1520’s audio capabilities soon.)
You will also find the new Nokia Beamer app to share content, like pictures, location on a map or even your camera viewfinder from your Lumia to any compatible screen – with people in the same room or even in another location by sending them a link via social media, email or SMS.
Boost your daily productivity
The Lumia 1520 is a genuine workhorse, too. It comes with Microsoft Office built in, so you can have the flexibility to work when you need to; and it includes a massive battery with integrated wireless charging (Qi compatible). This powerful combination means you can manage to easily log a whole day of work and enjoy entertainment like movies without worrying about finding a place to charge up.
The ability to show a third column on the Start screen isn’t just about scaling the experience of Windows Phone 8. It really is about getting to you favorite apps faster with less scrolling. For instance, the email app now shows one additional row of content in the Live tile, right on the Start screen.
Do you do a lot of video conferencing? The front-facing camera on the Lumia 1520 offers 1.2 HD 720p wide angle video so you’ll always look your best.
And, with the new Papyrus app coming to Windows Phone for the first time, you can easily take handwritten notes on your Nokia Lumia 1520.
Boost your high scores
This phone will also please the gamer in all of us. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and full 1080p HD display, graphics-intensive Xbox games will explode with action. You will also find 2GB RAM built in, 32GB of storage, plus the option to add a microSD card (up to 64GB), as well as 7GB of free SkyDrive cloud-based storage.
The Lumia 1520 features all the latest in display technology to make the beautiful six inch screen stand out, even in the brightest sunlight. With ClearBlack display technology, High Brightness Mode and assertive display technology by Apical, the screen offers a viewing experience to enjoy no matter what the light conditions are. And when winter rolls in, wearing gloves won’t prevent you from using the screen just as easily as before thanks to the super sensitive touch screen with Gorilla Glass 2.
According to Ilkka Husgafvel, the lead industrial designer for the Lumia 1520, “Purity was one of the main drivers in the creation of this device, along with understanding the scale available in the large screen. We aimed to create a device that feels thin and comfortable in the hand: it’s only 8.7mm deep.”
The phone features ceramic keys on the side, and subdued icons at the front. It will be available in four Lumia colors (white, yellow, red and black): the black phone is made of recycled materials.
The Nokia Lumia 1320 – going large at a lower price
Similar to the Lumia 1520 – and building on the affordability of the Lumia 520 – the new Nokia Lumia 1320 also features a 6-inch screen and a wealth of features at a lower price.
But this does not mean that there was a compromise on quality. The phone boosts a 720p HD screen made with Gorilla Glass 3, and features a super sensitive touch screen. It includes Nokia Music and HERE Maps for great music and location experiences, and welcomes both Nokia Camera and Nokia Storyteller apps, available in the Windows Phone Store.
With the latest apps, the best from Nokia, and the best from Microsoft supported by LTE connections you can make the most out of the bright large screen on the Lumia 1320. Sit back and relax while you play the latest Xbox games, read web content, or watch movies on the six inch screen. A wealth of content can be stored using the free 7GB of SkyDrive storage or with the addition of a micro SD card adding up to 64GB more space.
When can I get it?
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is expected to begin selling this quarter in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, China and Europe (including Finland, France, Germany, and the UK), followed by other markets; and it has an estimated price of around USD 749 before local taxes and subsidies.
The Nokia Lumia 1320 will be available in a choice of orange, yellow, black, or white, and is planned to be available first in China and Vietnam in early 2014, followed by other Asian markets, India and European markets. It carries an estimated price of USD 339 before local taxes and subsidies.
Many of the new features and imaging innovations found in the Nokia Lumia 1520 and Nokia Lumia 1320 will be coming to existing Nokia Lumia smartphones running on Windows Phone 8 aligned with the next software update called “Lumia Black”. The update, including the latest Windows Phone update from Microsoft, is expected to begin rolling out in early 2014.
