Hours, with whom you can call, appeared long ago. In fact, it’s a phone with a tiny square display, complete with strap and a set of basic functions like organizer. A distinctive feature of the new “smart” hours from iconBIT – traditional Android familiar with the standard shell on board. This on our minds was not yet!
Again, “smart” clock – is not a new type of device in the world of wearable electronics. Nevertheless, mass distribution, they still have not received, and their development and production involved not every company – from those that are not ashamed to mention aloud. With the introduction of hours Galaxy Gear from Samsung, simplifying work with great smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the public interest in such devices has increased. And if somewhere there is a demand, B-brands immediately make suggestions. And iconBIT Callisto 100 – one of them.
iconBIT Callisto 100 – factory packaging
noteworthy that the new “smart” watch from iconBIT – it is not an addition to the smartphone (the same as the Galaxy Gear Sony SmartWatch or 2), and completely independent unit. With them, you can call, write messages, check email, surf the web and even play. Except the clock, nothing else this is not required. The official website of the device is positioned as follows (quote): «Callisto 100 – rich smartphone with 3G based on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) with IPS-display 1.54 inch (240×240) and multi-function.” Please note, no word on the clock! It is believed that this is the full, but very small smartphone.
iconBIT Callisto 100 out of the box
Nevertheless, this “smart watch.” The first such gadget from iconBIT turned out pretty massive – its thickness reaches 14 mm (almost half an inch!), And weight – 95 grams. Dispenser for solid accessory style hi-tech, as already mentioned quite thin Gear, will hardly – Callisto is clearly designed for young people. Weight, of course, there is, but you can not say that from the hours iconBIT arm gets tired – many mechanical watches weigh the same, and some even more.
iconBIT Callisto 100 on hand. The main body material – metal
Place all standard connectors and hardware keys for the “Android” in such a tiny device – not an easy task. Engineers clearly got out as best they could, choosing from all possible evils. On one side of the body are the power button / lock and return to the desktop, as well as the camera lens trehmegapikselnoy. Function keys missing “Back” program is implemented – it is called sliding your finger across the screen from right to left, and the volume buttons and does not (in some applications running “swipe” from the top down to adjust the volume, and the new firmware developers added the volume control in the menu off ). Because of this, for example, to take screenshots very problematic – it will have to get the right root (in iconBIT promise that this is also fixed in the new firmware, which was published after the end of the test – now for the captures enough to pinch the button “Home” and ” Food »).
iconBIT Callisto 100 – left side
On the opposite side is a connector for the card micro-SIM. However, to get to it is not very easy – it needs to loosen thin screwdriver (supplied) miniature screw and open the latch. Of course, the screw is easy to lose, especially if you carry out this operation on the weight, so complete a few spare.
 |  |
iconBIT Callisto 100 – Connector for SIM-card
Getting to the battery and the memory card slot is even harder. They are located under the back cover of hours, which is not fixed to any clip, and four miniature screw. There is no choice – you have to unscrew them consistently to set the stick.
iconBIT Callisto 100 – adapter for charging
course places on the body Callisto 100 for micro-USB interface simply left, but then the engineers did not panic: they assembled as this situation squirmed Koreans when they created Galaxy Gear, and did exactly the same. On the back there are a few contacts – it connects to some sort of docking station, which is already stuck cord USB. GPS antenna and Wi-Fi are located in the strap so that the diversity of watch design something bright will not work – strongly replaceable strap.
iconBIT Callisto 100 per charge
Display at “smart” hours, as expected, very small – 1.54 inches. Resolution could be slightly higher – only 240×240 pixels (just like in the old times colored cell phones). However, the pixel density becomes quite high – more than 220 dots per inch, so the individual points do not hurt the eyes, if you bring the device close to him, and practically invisible when Callisto 100 is located half-bent arm. Fonts look quite smoothly.
manufacturer claims that the clock screen is made by technology IPS. Perhaps this is true, but this matrix is ??poor, whatever type it may belong. If you deviate from the normal sight contrast greatly falls – so that the image becomes even not too choosy. Multisensory layer supports up to four hours of simultaneous touches and gestures easily recognize that very well – without them work with Callisto 100 impossible. Run on the device screen subtle stripes as on old TVs – so runs the backlight modulation. Interaction with the gadget it does not interfere, but still somehow unpleasant. In IconBIT declare that all fresh firmware fixes – updated display driver.
iconBIT Callisto 100 – test results AnTuTu MultiTouch Test
margin brightness of the display is very decent – the luminosity of the white area varies from 93 to 310 cd / m 2 . However, the good of such an aggressive little illumination: in bright ambient light due to lack of a polarizing filter display fades in a dark room and can strain your eyes. Luminosity of the black field is quite high – 0.83 nits, which is why the display contrast is not as good as it could be – about 370:1. However, hardly anyone would read a book or watch a movie with such a small screen. For specialized tasks quality LCD matrix iconBIT Callisto 100 can be considered acceptable – but a polarizing filter would still put the cost, because the smartphone-hours, will likely use just in the air.

Vladivostok, IA Primore24. China introduced a national operating system called China Operating System (COS). The developers claim that the new system more reliable and safer than Android, and more flexible than iOS. It is designed to compete with these products in the local market.
platform developed by the Institute of Software at the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly with Shanghai Liantong Network Communications Technology. The project has been “approved” and funded by the Chinese government, according to CNews.
COS is based on the open kernel Linux, although she is not open for reasons of “security.” Platform creators hope that it will be free from the problems that have foreign OS. Almost all of them can not provide the necessary depth of localization, including a graphical interface, input methods and speech recognition.
developers assure that the COS will be free of “bugs” that can be placed in the operating system manufacturers from other countries.
Beyond Smartphones, COS can be used on tablets, computers, and digital set-top boxes. As well as Android, and iOS, it offers access to its own application store, which today has about 100 thousand programs.
ExternallyChina Operating System is very similar to Android. Given that the platform offers a large number of applications are already at the time of launch, some observers have concluded that it is only a modification of Android, and not an independent OS.

Leaks relating to the first Android-smartphone Finnish company Nokia, it was enough. It seemed that the project and will not be realized, especially given the fact that Nokia’s mobile division belongs to Microsoft, which is promoting its mobile operating system Windows Phone.
However, according to the latest figures, Nokia Normandy still come to light, and it will happen very soon – March 25. This assumption appeared after the Network Interface flowed screenshots Normandy.
interface in Android Nokia Normandy been extensively revised and is more reminiscent of Windows Phone, than the operating system from Google. On the same date of the announcement by hints, put up for display smartphone. The screen Nokia Normandy we can see the date – 25, and day of the week – Tuesday. The first assumption was that the announcement will take place at the MWC in Barcelona, ??as the exhibition just opened on February 25 and this will be Tuesday.
But then came the second screenshot, where the date was specified – on March 25. Indeed, and on February 25 and March 25 – this Tuesday. On the other hand, March 25 may be any date – birthday project manager Normandy, casual date or an allusion to the day worker of Russia. However, cases thus hinted at the date of announcement of the smartphone, as happens quite often. So on this day we can expect that Nokia still present as expected by many smartphone Android.

Google has released the monthly report on traditional raspredelniyu share versions of Android, are active in the application directory and multimedia content Google Play. Besides, the corporation has shared some other interesting data are of interest to developers.
According to statistics, rules the ball on Android versions family Jelly Bean, which is used by 59.1% entering the catalog Google Play. However, almost takes the greatest Android 4.1, released in mid-2012 together with the first generation tablet Nexus 7. The second most common takes even older version 2.3 Gingerbread, announced back in 2010. Third place goes to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, incorporates the graphical interfaces for smartphones and tablets. Announced in 2013 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean 4.4 KitKat and occupy a double only 9.2%. In addition to information on shares of Android, Google told about and distributing API OpenGL ES for game developers. Modern interface OpenGL ES 3.0, announced along with Android 4.3, has hardware support by 6.4%, whereas the previous version of the API includes an impressive 93.5% of devices. Thus, developers can already safely abandon optimize their games for devices with support for OpenGL ES only one. *.
Summarizing, we can say that Google still can not cope with the software fragmentation Android. Despite the tightening of the rules of certification of new devices, manufacturers are not in a hurry to upgrade their software. Android 2.3 Gingerbread for Google became something like Windows XP – obsolete system is still in active use, forcing application developers to engage in further optimization. Android 4.4 KitKat at the moment still covers only 1.4% of devices, including two Nexus-smartphone, Nexus-3 tablet devices 5 Google Play Edition, Motorola Moto X and Moto G, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and some editorial HTC One. Thus, all this impressive list of modern devices takes only a hundredth part of all Android-devices can access a directory Google Play. Search Corporation is actively trying to solve the problems with updates devices, but so far these attempts to break on the fast cycle announcement of new versions of the systems and the reluctance of manufacturers to spend resources on the continued support of already released devices. Google partially solves the problem of its development package Play Services, but this is not enough.
