Chris Davies, Jan 10th 2012 Discuss [1]

Qualcomm has announced its Skifta Media Shifting Platform, a new push to get its DLNA/UPnP service into more home entertainment hardware, with the first kit to arrive being the Skifta Wireless Audio Adapter. Adding Skifta streaming support to existing home entertainment devices, the new adapter is set to drop sometime in the first half of this year.

It's still Honeycomb day! Check out all the little bits of Android 3.0 Honeycomb, including the Notification System, the App Optimization, the Notifications Bar, and while you're at it, have a look at the Full Pre-Game Review - better late than never! Then move on to have a look at the new Android Market Web store, complete with purchase online / download from cloud functionality, Android In-App Purchases, and a few excellent apps. Amongst those apps soon to be released are Tap Tap Revenge 4, Disney Radio, and a rather radical looking CNN app. Keep your mind open to the possibilities as Google introduces Honeycomb's "Render Script" for Hardware Accelerated 3D Graphics, note the quickness in launching and the smoothness in operation of the Chat Program and several other examples of 3D rendering technology. Grab a hands-on look at the Motorola XOOM [XOOM Perspective] and the Motorola XOOM [Android 3.0 Honeycomb Perspective]. Next, see the Android Community App shine instantly, and without glitch on this same lovely tablet. And then of course, not to be out-news'ed by Android, behold the Verizon iPhone 4 in all it's review glory (by Vincent Nguyen.) THEN having felt cheated by the day, Apple comes at you again with the official release of "The Daily" iPad News Magazine. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Nov 19th 2009 Discuss [0]

One of Qualcomm's more low-key demonstrations from today is actually the one thing you can try most readily yourself. Skifta aims to make media shifting more straightforward, using a single client PC or Mac that can then be accessed by any DLNA and UPnP client in your home or remotely.
