Apple and Samsung l 'Smart watches' and recognizing footprints phones

The battle between Apple and Samsung has come almost to a level typical of football teams. It's like the fight between Apple and IBM itself in the eighties or, more recently, supporters of the Mac and PC. Or as the classic between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. Now, with sales of 'smartphones' slowing in the U.S., where 61% of mobile phone users already have a device of this type, the question is what will they do Apple and Samsung? The answer, according to U.S. media is all. The two companies are working on a 'smart watch' which, presumably, would also receive messages and email and have a pretty amazing area (for example, it is speculated that this could be flexible). According to Financial Times, Samsung will present its 'smartwatch' early next month at the IFA technology trade fair, held in Berlin from 6 to 11 September. The British newspaper also reported that Apple is far behind in the project, and you can not start making the call 'iWatch' , at the earliest, until late 2014.

Something new

The issue is that so far other 'smart watches', launched by giants like Sony and Microsoft, have crashed on the market, and that Samsung has played very well at the time to imitate Apple, using the Android operating system from Google . So watch the future of the computer is still in the air. Apple needs to get something new because, from the iPhone 5 launched almost a year ago, has not presented any new product. The current president and CEO, Tim Cook, has excelled in improving the supply chain and the company, and satisfy shareholders, two areas in which his predecessor, Steve Jobs, was not one. But the innovative character of Jobs, who was the hallmark of the company, Apple seems to have disappeared. Until yesterday 'The Wall Street Journal reported that the components Taiwanese manufacturer Hon Hai (Foxconn), which is the largest supplier of the giants of consumer technology (only one of its factories in China employs more than 250,000 employees ) two months ago received an order for Apple to produce two new models of 'smart phones' .

One of them is a phone with a screen resolution and the dimensions of the iPhone 5. Among the features of this device might be the facial and fingerprint recognition, ie, face recognition and fingerprint of its owner, which would not require a password. Similar systems have already been implemented in computers and other electronic systems but, to date, their practical results have been mediocre.

The other iPhone would have the plastic housing, and would be aimed at developing countries where Apple prices make their products uncompetitive. The strategy of taking a cheaper version of its devices and was applied by the company, with moderate success in 2012, when it launched the iPad mini.
