Metaio's speciality is technology that lets people wearing special glasses transform what they see into a kind of touch screen. Its technology has both business and consumer applications. A notice on its website – metaio.com – said its products and subscriptions aren't available to buy any more, but it will continue its support until June 30th and will honour downloads of previous buys until December 15th this year. The company offered a number of products and subscriptions including a software developer kit, an "authoring" tool, and a cloud environment. Apple reputedly wants to use Metaio tech in its own devices. No financial details of the transaction are available.        |
| Cell based devices set to soar Posted: 29 May 2015 06:03 AM PDT
Gartner predicts that by 2019 non smartphone devices could amount to 600 million units in 2019. That will mean manufacturers of notebooks – for example HP – will have to strike deals with network providers to meet demand from people. Although the number of wi-fi hot spots is steadily increasing, people want to be able to access data just about everywhere without having to rely on the hit and miss hotspot game. Gartner predicts that premium ultramobiles with cell network connections will grow from 492,000 units last year to 3.2 million units by 2019. Over 60 percent of such products are currently sold in Western Europe because of high prices. Gartner also predicts that by 2019, 76 million cell enabled tablets will be sold, with emerging markets including India and Brazil having high penetration.     |
