Amazon to buy Palm and WebOS?

http://thegadgetfan.com/tablets/amazon-to-buy-palm-and-webos.html

Ama­zon not con­tent with its Android fork is shop­ping for WebOS. Sam­sung has backed out and HTC is still think­ing, leav­ing Ama­zon to grab Palm. In all like­li­hood Ama­zon will buy Palm and WebOS. If and when that hap­pens, the mobile game and tech indus­try dynam­ics will change one more time.

Nokia does not want to put all the eggs in one basket after all! Why? Is it worried about the basket or it's peers.

Nokia to turn mobile landscape on its head with ‘Meltemi’ smartphone OS

http://www.bgr.in/2011/09/29/nokia-to-turn-mobile-landscape-on-its-head-with-%E2%80%98meltemi%E2%80%99-smartphone-os/

Nokia is again devel­op­ing a pro­pri­etary smart­phone oper­at­ing sys­tem after announc­ing this past Feb­ru­ary that it would aban­don both Sym­bian and MeeGo in favor of Microsoft’s Win­dows Phone plat­form. Cit­ing mul­ti­ple anony­mous sources, The Wall Street Jour­nal on Wednes­day report­ed that Nokia’s exec­u­tive vice pres­i­dent of mobile phones, Mary McDow­ell, is head­ing up the project. Code-named “Meltemi,” the new mobile plat­form is report­ed­ly Linux-based and it is intend­ed for use on low-end smart­phones. BGR has inde­pen­dent­ly con­firmed the report, and we have learned addi­tion­al details that paint an excit­ing new pic­ture of the mobile indus­try should Nokia’s new OS real­ize its poten­tial.

A possibility of having super long lasting and super cheap batteries!

First Energy-Storage Membrane

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/09/first-energy-storage-membrane.html

The new membrane promises greater cost-effectiveness in delivering energy, but also an environmentally-friendly solution. The researchers used a polystyrene-based polymer to deposit the soft, foldable membrane that, when sandwiched between and charged by two metal plates, could store charge at 0.2 farads per square centimeter. This is well above the typical upper limit of 1 microfarad per square centimetre for a standard capacitor.

Microsoft is really making a lot of noise of the right kind nowadays. Watch out!

Sencha Likes IE10: A Native Apps Library for JS is Coming

http://www.readwriteweb.com/hack/2011/09/sencha-likes-ie10-a-native-app.php

The big ques­tion among Web devel­op­ers has been whether brows­er and plat­form mak­ers are sim­ply lever­ag­ing HTML5 as an open-ended means to a closed end: specif­i­cal­ly, as a stan­dard lan­guage for pro­duc­ing native apps for mul­ti­ple plat­forms, as opposed to a sin­gle, cross-platform app that plays for all. That ques­tion may very soon be ren­dered moot if and when the lead­ing pro­duc­ers of JavaScript libraries ren­der native-looking con­tent using cross-platform code.

Something about Amazon fire you should know

Fire

http://cdespinosa.posterous.com/fire

I don’t comment on Apple products or development here, but I’m absolutely fascinated by the Amazon Fire announcement today, and it has nothing to do with the iPad. Lost in the “Is it an iPad Killer?” hype is the audacious introduction of the Silk browser. Under the guise of increasing speed (on WiFi…
