Airport transportation systems will experience renewal, begun from Heathrow Airport has demoed driverless pod taxis. Report said its used new system built by Advanced Transport Systems Ltd is on display at the Science Museum, it maybe to be next generation of transportation system in the world.

The ULTra Personal Pod cars are completely with battery-powered pods that go fast around at up to 25mph on a special road network, and can carry away four passengers and their luggage between Heathrow’s Terminal 5 and its business car parks, the basic idea of Personal Rapid Transport has been just about for a even as but this say the first contract wherever in the world.

As expert, that handle the ULtra Personal Pod cars professor Martin Lowson who has been working on the system since 1995, believes his Heathrow driverless taxis are just the start to go around the world. Well, check out the photos gallery below.

China’s biggest mobile phones carrier makes mobile phone companies maker bouncy, try to dominate mobile phone market in China, Apple will declare sells 500 million iPhone then Dell is developing mobile devices for China, event more China newspaper has show photos of its Dell Mini 3i smartphone.

Dell smartphone rumor has long been go around on electronic medias, according to source in Shenzhen said Dell official launched a new Mini 3i smartphone that will offer a full complement of music, games and other downloadable content. But Dell declined comment on the type of devices, said that only developing mobile products for China Mobile’s network.

Dell, the biggest world’s maker of laptop computers, would be just the latest computer maker to embrace smartphones after cancel to build multi media player, company see if tend the smartphone will get higher margins than laptop computers or multi media player, of course the smartphone have multi media player.

Source said new Dell Mini 3i was on-hand as part of the launch of China Mobile’s new Application Platform, 3.5-inch 360 x 640 pixel device with capacitive touchscreen was on display in China running the Android-based Open Mobile System (OMS), Chinese WiFi or they called WAPI and is strictly 2G GSM, a 3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, and 950mAh battery.

As we don’t see other surplus, company makes it to be a progress in China and fitting with market condition. Rivalry will go on tight, which there Apple iPhone, BlackBerry, Acer and ASUS also do research for same market in China and hope share profits.

Gadgets and laptop computers maker tries to build cheap devices with ingredients cheapest, that way, companies hoping can have power over markets to sell devices in the economy condition still slow-down. For that, as chipmakers compete to develop ever-smaller chips at cheaper prices, designers are struggling to cut costs.

IBM (International Business Machines) has seen this condition then try to building cheap blocks of microchips bodies, using DNA to make the next-gen microchips. According to a paper published Nature Nanotechnology, Artificial DNA nanostructures, or “DNA origami” may provide a cheap framework on which to build tiny microchips, reported on Sunday. Microchips are used in laptop computers, cell phones and other electronic devices.

IBM research manager Spike Narayan in a statement said, “This is the first demonstration of using biological molecules to help with processing in the semiconductor industry.”

“Basically, this is telling us that biological structures like DNA actually offer some very reproducible, repetitive kinds of patterns that we can actually leverage in semiconductor processes,” he said.

IBM’s Almaden Research Center and the California Institute of Technology has joint with scientists to undertaking. DNA origami process scales to production-level, manufacturers could trade hundreds of millions of dollars in complex tools for less than a million dollars of polymers, DNA solutions, and heating implements, Narayan said. Electronic gadgets companies maker, hope will get tinier chip, but the equipment will more expensive.

Still they needs the technique in years of experimentation and testing, electronic gadgets companies can get the new processes are at least 10 years out. Narayan said that while the DNA origami could allow chipmakers to build frameworks that are far smaller than possible with conventional tools.
