That’s exactly what Ray M. Dolby has announced this morning. They’ve begun a pretty hearty collaboration with Nokia, which involves integration Ray M. Dolby’s surroundings auditory sensation speakers, along with their high gear definition audio engineering, into some Nokia devices. And, sure sufficiency, the Nokia N8 is the first French telephone to get the treatment. When the gimmick launches later this year, it will be able to utilize Ray M. Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surroundings auditory sensation when connected through HDMI to a abode theater organization.

While we’d love to hear that mini Ray M. Dolby surroundings sound speakers ar implanted in the Nokia N8, we imagine that this will do for our music hearing needs. Then again, we’re not sure how often we’ll have our handset plugged into our home speakers, or wherefore we’d really want to do that, but Nokia mustiness think we will. Maybe that alone volition shuffle us do it? What about you? Will you utilize this lineament?

With everyone (ourselves included) hemming and hawing about how the HTC EVO 4G improved on the HTC HD2 with a dash of 4G WiMAX and a sparge of 8-megapixels on the photographic camera, it only makes good sense that we appearance you what the two media-apprehension smartphones looking at like position-by-side. What you see here ar the T-Mobile River (NYSE: DT) HTC HD2 lined up next to the Sprint (NYSE: S) HTC EVO 4G (Supersonic). The differences between the II devices ar rebuff, but they sure do shuffling a lot of difference of opinion.

Hera’s what you’re seeing in the photos. The EVO 4G is slightly thicker than the HD2 – thanks to the duplicate 4G WiMAX and HDMI-port computer hardware within the EVO. The assault and battery is the same size in both phones. The EVO sports a snappier 8-megapixel photographic camera that doesn’t show any noticeable shutter lag and boasts a refined photographic camera controller interface that makes the HD2’s already impressive photographic camera looking at a little dated. You’ll also notice the EVO redness-colored assault and battery compartment that lies concealment from view until you’re ready to show off the goods. We call option it cellular telephone “lingerie.” The earphone jackass has also moved from the bottom of the HD2 to the top of the EVO. Oh, and you can’t forget the EVO’s kickstand.

All in all, the subtle differences make a big difference of opinion when considering the whole package. So, which handset would you choose? Does having a swappable SIM circuit card in the HD2 mean enough to hold you from switching to Sprint for the EVO 4G?

Kyocera’s micro base station weighs less than 26.5 pounds (12 kg) with a book of 12 liters, and offers 8 watts of transmit mightiness, a fraction of typical macro stand stations. Designed to savoir-faire gaps in reportage and overloaded network “hot spots,” the micro base stations part cooperatively with existing macro instruction stand stations in highly scalable “heterogeneous” networks. This is enabled by Kyocera’s pioneering employment in the exploitation of interference-palliation engineering. The company is a leading contributor of such engineering to the 3GPP.

Along with displaying the micro base station, Kyocera volition fling a live demonstration at MWC of its ultra-efficient macro base post, which weighs less than 39.7 pounds (18 kg) with a volume of 20 liters, and uses only 211 watts or less of mightiness — significantly less than any LTE base station demonstrated to date. Kyocera achieves unprecedented carrying out in both its micro and macro stand stations through body politic-of-the-artistic production RF technology and the manufacture’s most efficient mightiness amplifier. For network operators, Kyocera’s infrastructure products fling significant reductions in both capital and operating expenditures (CapEx and OpEx).

“LTE networks are capable of offering rich content and amazing features, but only if reportage is consistent and provides reliable multi-megabit-per-second base speeds for all consumers,” said Junichi Jinno, Executive Officer & General Manager of Kyocera’s Corporate R&D Group for Equipment and Systems. “Kyocera’s micro and macro stand stations are the manufacture’s topper, most cost-efficient tools for operators to implement and fine-melodic phrase a mesh that delivers on this hope.”

Kyocera’s base byplay began in 1995, and the company has since perfected its all-in-I designing in more than 634,000 stand stations installed globally using PHS engineering. At Mobile River World United States Congress, Kyocera along with Starent Networks (now office of Cisco), a leadership provider of multimedia heart engineering, will demonstrate a complete LTE solution for mobile operators worldwide. The joint demonstration, which consists of stand stations (eNodeB) from Kyocera and evolved mail boat core equipment from Starent, is available at MWC2010 in Kyocera’s stall.

Kyocera’s booth at MWC volition also feature base and depot devices employing WiMAX and iBurst broadband technologies, along with a broad array of mobile handsets. Network operators, journalists and analysts wishing to schedule common soldier briefings at MWC may do so by contacting John Chier, Director of Corporate Communications at Kyocera Communications Inc., at bathroom.chier@kyocera.com.
