Verizon Wireless may refuse to release smartphones with Windows Phone 8

The company will delay the output of Verizon Wireless or even refuse to release smartphones running Windows Phone 8. Such information is the resource Daily Mobile. According to them the problem lies in the fact that at the request of the operator it must have remote access to a piece of software, but no smartphone operating system from Microsoft this requirement does not. Because of the lack of access a number of services the operator can not be performed on the machine, which in turn could potentially lead to a malfunction of the device on the network operator or the complete inability to use it. problem all the more important for Microsoft, because Verizon Wireless is the largest operator in the U.S. and sales of devices for its network prominently in the plans to conquer the market. Currently, representatives of companies are considering ways to address the problem, but, according to the Dail Mobile, Microsoft is not willing to make concessions and to provide remote access systems of Verizon Wireless. At the same time it should take into account that the damage from the lack of Verizon Wireless in the inventory WP8-smartphones will not be as significant as the impact on the company's plans to conquer the Nokia U.S. market. While it is known that the original terms of the release of smartphones will not be sustained, but prspektive possible and WP8 option which does not appear in the statement.

Inside the Apple Lightning Cable

We couldn’t help but notice that there is a lot of speculation and discussion (and frankly, a few wild guesses) concerning the functions of the Apple’s new lightning connectors. We don’t normally give (a total of five blogs!) this much attention to a single electronics teardown, but since we haven’t seen it elsewhere yet, we figured the world needed “just one more thing” on the Apple iPhone 5. We have confirmed that the Lightning cable does have four chips embedded in it, plus some passive devices. Two of these chips are very simple (only a couple of transistors), and the third is an NXP NX20P3. However, the fourth and arguably most interesting of these is the TI chip.

The above images show the location of the TI chip on the lightning connector. Once we stripped away the cable housing (easier said than done), and took the die out of the package, we found die markings of “BQ2025”. (See our die photo below). This part number is not published by TI.

However, TI does have published datasheets on the BQ2022, BQ2023, BQ2024, and BQ2026. These four chips are cataloged on TI’s website as battery fuel gauges, but they are not identical, with three of them being serial EPROMs and one of them being a battery monitor IC.

However, all four do have some common characteristics. All use a single wire SDQ interface (TI’s proprietary serial communications protocol), and all have some basic security features such as CRC generation. So, it is certainly likely that the BQ2025 does have some security implemented on it. It would also seem likely that it includes an SDQ interface.

We continued our lab work on the BQ2025 and now have a lower metal sample to view (and purchase in the Chipworks store). On this sample, we have been able to see some further details of this chip. There is a digital logic block occupying the top left portion of the chip. This block includes about 5K gates of logic. Also on the chip is the EPROM, with likely 64 or 128 bits of storage (visual inspection only, full RE not completed). There are also some large driver transistors, quite a bit of analog circuitry, and a fair amount of capacitance. This is certainly all consistent with a serial communication chip including some simple security features.

Part of the magic going on is that the Lightning connector features fewer direct connections than the prior generation connector. This means that Apple needs to apply some intelligence to what wire is sending and receiving the signals because there are fewer connections, but just as much data. Additionally, Apple has a number of patents related to authentication and security between devices. This has useful application by allowing “handshake” access to only certain function necessary for the functioning of a peripheral (such as a speaker docking station) without allowing access to the full functionality of the phone. It has additional application in smart battery applications. Both Apple and Texas Instruments (separately) have documented this security technology in a number of related patents (applied and issued) wherein they describe the passing of information from the host through to the accessory. For those interested, here are a few patent numbers, with the last being a TI patent:  20100173973A1, US8200881, US8239605, US8086781, US8161567, US823881, US8245041.

It is actually very interesting that we may have found a chip with (likely) some modest security in this cable. In this case not only related to securing their revenue stream for cables or ensuring reliable and high quality (licensed) peripherals, but in delivering useful product features that are not necessarily in the consumers top of mind. We are planning a full systems analysis on this device to further understand what exactly is going on.

Previously, we have analyzed security devices regarding medical printer media (armbands), printer cartridges, flash drive memory, batteries, and smart cards, but this is the first secure cable we have seen. The security does not come close to the herculean approaches that are used in (for example) today’s printer cartridges, but resembles the level of effort that cartridge manufacturers used to implement in the olden days. In other words, at this time the security is “just enough.” With future generations of Apple and non-Apple products, we may begin to see even stronger security and control if the market forces merit it.

To complete the story, let’s look at the other three chips on the lightning connector board. The NXP NX20P3 includes one huge transistor occupying over 75% of the die area. It also has a fair amount of analog circuitry, as would be consistent with their line of charging devices for peripherals – from our last trip to the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) we know that this is a market that NXP is very strong in. The last two dies appear to be simple power transistors.Good design wins again for TI and NXP!

Support a charity with your Nokia Lumia

A kindly soul once said that the best exercise for the heart was by reaching down and helping others up.
Even if you think that is hippy nonsense, most people would agree that charities do worthwhile and important work.

Whether it is helping vulnerable children, raising money for medical research, international aid or the environment, we all have a cause that is close to our hearts.

Your Nokia Lumia smartphone can help you to support your favourite charity by donating money or simply by keeping you updated with the latest news.

Here are five of our favourite charity apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Oxfam

Oxfam is a global charity dedicated to fighting poverty and providing international aid. Its website boasts that in 2011 their emergency and development work helped some 15 million people in 55 countries.

This is a beautiful app that’s been fully designed with the Windows Phone-style tiles in mind. It offers the latest news, photos, social media integration and links to help you get involved with their campaigns.

The app also makes it extremely easy for you to donate £5 directly to Oxfam through a simple SMS message.

Walk2Help

Walk2Help is a really interesting concept that allows you to make a difference without needing to hand over any cash.

The idea is that by downloading this app, it will track how far you have walked using your Lumia’s GPS functionality. The more you walk, the more points you will accumulate.

You can then donate your points towards a specific cause, for example, the building of a library or providing clothes for refugees. Once a project has collected enough points then its sponsor (a company or other benefactor) will come good on their promise.

It really is that simple. Never has taking a walk sounded like such a good idea.

GOTM

GOTM is an acronym for Give On The Mobile, a service that is dedicated to helping people donate money to charities on their phones.

This Windows Phone version is very simple to use. You search through the list of charities (there are hundreds on the list) and select the one you wish to support.

On the next screen, you choose the amount (£1, £3 or £5) and then fill in your personal details. All this information generates a text message and you just need to press send to complete the donation.

Within the app, you can select favourite charities and it remembers your last donation. You can also set up a fundraising profile if you’re trying to raise money for charity.

Just Giving

The Just Giving website is based in the UK but has an increasing international presence. It now accepts donations in all major international currencies.

Just Giving has become a popular way of donating money online and supporting your friends when they embark on sponsored pursuits, such as running marathons.

This is an unofficial app and you can’t donate money directly through it but there are still a lot of features that you may find useful. It has Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube integration for all the latest news from Just Giving.

Perhaps best of all, it pulls in informative articles from the Just Giving blog to help you with tips, such as creative fundraising ideas and helping you to secure a place on sponsored events.

SeeYourImpact

All too often giving money to charity is a rather impersonal process. You sign your cheque, put your coins in the tin or press send on your phone and that’s the end of it.

This app is an antidote to all that. You read through the stories or pick an issue that has pricked at your conscience, then select an amount that you want to donate.

A couple of weeks later you will be contacted again with photos and a report of exactly how your money has helped. More than that, it introduces you to the very person or people that has benefited from your donation.

Samsung and Apple are about to break the contract to supply parts?

A senior company Samsung, on condition of anonymity, told The Korea Times that the South Korean manufacturer of components and the American company Apple are on the verge of breaking commercial relations. According to him, the problem is that Apple representatives have indicated that they do not intend to re-use technology of its main competitor. One of these steps to get rid of the influence of the competitor study was transferring production chipset A7 at the facilities of TSMC. At the moment, this processor has not yet developed, but it is expected that TSMC is not worse Samsung cope with production quad chip for 20-nm process technology. At the same time, the current 32nm A6 is Samsung, although it was entirely developed inside Apple. About that Samsung and Apple d present the main competitors in the market says a lot of facts. Including not only direct market competition, but also a great number of trials around the world, which are regularly covered by media. At the same time, Samsung is one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers and a major supplier of components for Apple. In the case of termination of contracts real hit both companies: Samsung will lose billions of dollars of contracts for the supply of its products, and Apple will have to find new producers, solving the issue of control of quality and production of sufficient production in a short time.
