Future of smart phones
anyone interested in the future of smart phones I have put some articles together

I’m no fan of LG’s rear smartphone control keys — but turns out the company had its finger on the pulse of looming hardware disruption when it ushered in those backside smartphone controls last summer, with the G2.
Smartphone case-makers start quaking because all that unused real-estate on the rear of the proverbial handset — which, for years, you’ve been free to clad with lurid coloured plastic or rubber skins — is becoming a space to watch in its own right.

Nanodot-based smartphone battery that recharges in 30 seconds
Today at Microsoft’s Think Next symposium in Tel Aviv, Israeli startup StoreDot has demonstrated the prototype of a nanodot-based smartphone battery it claims can fully charge in just under 30 seconds. With the company having plans for mass production, this technology could change the way we interact with portable electronics, and perhaps even help realize the dream of a fast-charging electric car.

The “Internet of Things” can be defined as a diffuse layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays the entire Internet.
Traditionally, the Internet has been defined only by computing and networking equipment, but now the “Internet of Things” paradigm proposes the inclusion of a wider array of devices, once overlooked.
This new paradigm will potentially connect any electro-mechanical device to the Internet with identifying devices or machine-readable instruments. For instance, business may no longer run out of stock or generate waste products, as they could know exactly which products consumers need. A person’s ability to interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs, with this in mind.
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. estimates that the “Internet of Things” will account for an increasingly large number of connections, from nearly two billion devices today, climbing to nine billion connections by 2018.
The “Internet of Things” is possible through a framework of “structured extensibility”.

I hope all those links work
I was wondering why they cannot make a gas sensor that does all types of gases?
why cant they miniaturize a spectrometer to do all types of gases
