The chargers are miniaturized induction

Texas Instruments has just introduced a new charger induction place in the terminal to load. From a size 80% smaller than the old version, it allows to consider integrating this technology into products that are smaller and thinner. It still offers 5 watts of power, as the module before and remains suitable for phones, media players and other mobile devices of this kind.

The receiver is compatible with standard Qi and should work with existing chargers, such as those sold by Energizer. The new module meets the bq51013 name and has a yield of 93%, which means, according to Texas Instruments, the cooldown is the same as a wired charger. The module is sold at $ 3.50 in quantities of 1,000 units, but no manufacturer has yet announced plans to use it.

Not enough Transformer Pad and Asus Eee in trouble

Asus would have trouble producing its Eee Transformer Pad and instead of the 200,000 units planned for the month of April, he could be limited to only 100,000 copies.

The problems come from lack of touch screens. Apple has ordered about 60% of global production for its products, leaving its competitors in a difficult situation (see "Apple monopolizes the layers touch"). Asus is not alone, and RIM has also borne the brunt of this policy (see "The Playbook RIM late because Apple").
