You're looking right at it! Following the flagship <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/dell-streak-pro-d43-launched-in-china-where-yi-shall-find-some/">Dell Streak Pro D43</a> (which was branded with what was then known as Baidu Yi aka version 1.0 of the platform), this Foxconn-built <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Changhong">Changhong</a> H5018 is the second smartphone to have its Android Gingerbread system enhanced by Baidu, meaning <strike>it'll come with <em>300GB</em> of cloud storage space (instead of the old 100GB)</strike>, voice search, voice control and a set of other online services offered by the Chinese search giant.</p><p> As for the hardware itself, we're looking at a 10.3mm-thick matte chassis housing a 650MHz MTK6573 processor, a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, a three-megapixel camera and a non-removable 1,400mAh battery, all of which would explain that highly affordable CN&yen;899 (US$140) off-contract price tag. That said, you'll still find a dual-SIM (WCDMA plus GSM) tray and a microSD slot hidden beneath the bottom cover. Not sure where <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zte">ZTE</a> is on this one, but for now, you can head over to <em>Sina Tech</em> for its hands-on report and photos.</p><p> <strong>Update: </strong>Baidu just confirmed that it's actually the same old 100GB of cloud storage, so somehow <em>Sina Tech</em> got lucky with its 300GB edition. We'll let you know when we hear more.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/baidu-cloud-phone-changhong-h5018/">New Baidu Cloud phone unveiled: Changhong H5018 with 100GB of cloud storage</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 15 May 2012 12:49:00 EST.

The company has been working its way in to the mobile chipset business for a little while now, and its latest is aimed squarely at the lower end of the handset spectrum but still promises to deliver the latest in dessert-themed operating systems. The MT6575 is a single core Cortex-A9 solution with an unidentified 5-series <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/powervr">PowerVR</a> GPU on board and an HSPA modem. The 1GHz core probably won't win and benchmark competitions, but it's enough to push Android 4.0 to a qHD screen, power through 720p video and capture shots with an 8 megapixel sensor. It even is capable of supporting 3D displays and DTV broadcasts -- not too bad for something destined to wind up in $50 smartphones.

First announced in February of last year, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ImaginationTechnologies/">Imagination Technologies</a> has officially announced the licensing availability of its first two GPUs based on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/imagination-technologies-unveils-series-6-powervr-gpus-promis/">Series6 platform</a>. The PowerVR G6200 and G6400 each promise to bring low power graphics to unprecedented levels and are said to deliver up to 20 times more horsepower than the current generation while also being five times more efficient. In tangible terms, the Series6 GPU cores are capable of exceeding 100 gigaflops and are said to approach the teraflop range. All chipsets based on Series6 are backward compatible with Series5 and fully support OpenGL 3.x, 4.x and ES, along with OpenCL 1.x and DirectX 10. Further, specific models will also support DirectX 11.1 with full WHQL compliance. Poised to shake up the mobile gaming ecosystem, Imagination has already lined up partners that include ST-Ericsson, Texas Instruments, Renesas Electronics and MediaTek. The full PR, complete with all the bragging, can be found after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/powervr-series6-g6200-and-6400/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Imagination Technologies unveils G6200 and G6400, first two GPUs based on PowerVR Series6</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/powervr-series6-g6200-and-6400/">Imagination Technologies unveils G6200 and G6400, first two GPUs based on PowerVR Series6</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:54:00 EST.

The second round of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/GoogleTV/">Google TV</a> hardware will be in full swing at CES 2012, and the folks at Mountain View just officially announced LG is joining the list of hardware partners at the show. While we know Logitech was taking a pass on the latest hardware, previously announced partners Samsung, Sony and Vizio are still in and the latter two will have new hardware to show next week. While this morning's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/google-tv-officially-switching-to-arm-marvell-armada-1500-cpu-t/">announcement by Marvell</a> revealed the platform's switch to ARM processors from the Intel chips it launched on, the company mentioned <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/mediatek">MediaTek</a> is also on board to build compatible chipsets, while the line of products from LG will run on the company's own L9 setup. LG's press release (included after the break) reveals the HDTVs it's bringing out will feature its Cinema 3D <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/FPR/">FPR</a> technology as well as support for a "Magic Remote QWERTY" that combines its gesture and voice control <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/lgs-magic-remote-enables-voice-control-for-its-smart-tvs/">Magic Remote</a> with, you guessed it, a QWERTY keyboard. It will have two lines of TVs based on the Android OS, while it continues to feature its own NetCast setup in other displays. While Samsung is mentioned as building new devices, it does not appear they'll have any to show off just yet, which matches the rumors that had <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/samsung-in-last-stage-talks-to-use-google-tv-will-show-off-ha/">gone around earlier</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: LG has posted some pics of the Google TV sets (above, after the break) featuring its custom interface, although we're still waiting for a peek at that remote. According to the company, users will have the option of using LG's UI or the default Google TV build, so whichever way you prefer should work. The Google TV team has also uploaded a fresh trailer on YouTube ahead of CES, featuring several apps and promising this is just the beginning -- check it out embedded after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/google-tv-officially-adds-lg-to-the-fold-will-demo-new-hardware/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Google TV adds LG to the fold, will demo new hardware along with Sony, Vizio (update: video, pics!)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/google-tv-officially-adds-lg-to-the-fold-will-demo-new-hardware/">Google TV adds LG to the fold, will demo new hardware along with Sony, Vizio (update: video, pics!)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:04:00 EST.

Here's a funny one we spotted at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/td-scdma">China Mobile's</a> booth at Mobile Asia Congress: a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zte">ZTE</a> Android phone powered by a MediaTek chipset that supports <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/td-lte">TD-LTE</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/td-scdma">TD-SCDMA</a>, GSM <em>and</em> dual SIM! Of course, given that China Mobile is currently the exclusive carrier to the TD-SCDMA technology, we're not expecting this peculiar device to pop up anywhere beyond the Great Wall any time soon; but knowing that there's a dual-SIM LTE phone somewhere on this planet still makes our day.<br />
<br />
Spec-wise this MT73 prototype features Android 2.3.4, an 800MHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4.1-inch 854 x 480 LCD with capacitive touchscreen, a five megapixel main camera, a VGA front-facing camera and a 1,100mAh battery. As per usual ZTE build quality, there's an inevitable cheap feel upon laying our hands on this phone, but we'll give ZTE the benefit of the doubt and wait for the final version. As for a launch date, the folks at China Mobile said it'll depend on when will the government issue a commercial license for TD-LTE.

But wait, there's more! Rambus also indicates that other "companies whose products incorporate the accused semiconductor products" have also been named, selling things like "personal computers, workstations, servers, routers, mobile phones and other handheld devices, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, motherboards, plug-in cards, hard drives and modems." That should just about cover 95% of what's available at your local electronics store, and certainly puts our holiday wish lists in legal limbo.<br /><br />This is a follow-up to earlier disputes involving the company, particularly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/rambus,nvidia">with NVIDIA</a>, which will continue via patent infringement lawsuits filed in US District Court against those corporate entities mentioned above. Beyond that, Rambus is hoping that the ITC stops import and sale of any and all infringing products post-haste. That seems awfully drastic, but for its part Rambus indicates it has been trying with all its might to negotiate licenses with these supposedly dirty dealers and that it was told "the only way they would get serious is if we sued them." So, place your bets because here we go.<br /><br />[Thanks, Antonio]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/02/rambus-files-itc-complaint-against-just-about-everyone-wants-to/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Rambus files ITC complaint against just about everyone, wants to stop sale of just about everything</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/02/rambus-files-itc-complaint-against-just-about-everyone-wants-to/">Rambus files ITC complaint against just about everyone, wants to stop sale of just about everything</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:04:00 EST.

Yes folks, we're <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/09/ask-engadget-hd-when-will-wireless-hd-hdmi-take-off/">back to the drawing board</a>. Again. With a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/celeno-cavium-team-up-for-wifi-based-wireless-hdmi-solution/">litany</a> of wireless technologies <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/amimons-second-gen-whdi-spec-does-full-uncompressed-1080p/">floundering about</a> and struggling to find real traction in the market, a cadre of market powerhouses have joined up to take wireless streaming to the next level -- or so they say, anyway. The newly formed WiGig Alliance aims to use unlicensed <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/60ghz/">60GHz waves</a> in order to stream just about anything you can think of: HD video, images, phone contacts, instant messages, audio, etc. This "unified" approach differs from most other alternatives, which generally pick one niche (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wireless+hd/">1080p video</a>, for instance) and stick to it. If the more than 15 technology firms have their collective druthers, the WiGig specification will find its way into everything from set-top-boxes to telephones to home stereos, ready and willing to stream to other WiGig-enabled devices at a moment's notice. <br /><br />The group consists of household names such as Microsoft, LG, Dell, Samsung, Marvell, Nokia, NEC, Intel and Broadcom (just to name a few), and when we spoke to executives about the announcement, they told us that plans were to have the specification available to member organizations in Q4 of this year. The sad part is that this likely means we won't see shipping products with the WiGig logo for another year after that -- if we're lucky. We can't argue that some stability would be nice in this volatile sector; after all, we've been waiting for promising products like Belkin's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/belkins-1-500-flywire-delayed-again-now-slated-for-august-lau/">FlyWire</a> to ship for well over a year. The execs we spoke with couldn't speak on behalf of the partner firms in terms of what WiGig products were looming on the horizon, but as we alluded to earlier, the playing field is wide open. Honestly, we'd love for this to take off and finally give high-bandwidth wireless applications the support it needs to flourish, but <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/amimon-motorola-sony-et-al-join-hands-on-wireless-hd-standar/">as we've seen</a> over the past few years, the road ahead ain't an easy one to walk.

Word on the street has it that both MediaTek and Sunplus Technology, two Taiwan-based consumer IC design houses, are fixing to certify their own Blu-ray Disc chipsets and to ship 'em as early as Q2 2009. The two outfits are expected to compete with Samsung and Broadcom, though there's no word yet on potential customers for their wares.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/misc/" rel="tag">Misc</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/blu-ray/" rel="tag">Blu-ray</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/mediatek-and-sunplus-to-offer-blu-ray-disc-chipsets-next-year/">MediaTek and Sunplus to offer Blu-ray Disc chipsets next year</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:24:00 EST.

IBM ain't the first big fish to <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/29/amimon-releases-wireless-hd-chipsets/">dabble</a> in the wireless HD chipset realm, and while we'd heard that the outfit was looking into the matter <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/07/ibm-working-on-wireless-hdtv/">a year ago</a>, things are seemingly now moving forward. Big Blue has joined hands with MediaTek in a "joint initiative to develop ultra fast chipsets that can wirelessly transmit a full-length high definition movie to and from a home PC, handheld device, retail kiosk or television set nearly as fast as a viewer can push their remote control."

IBM ain't the first big fish to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/amimon-releases-wireless-hd-chipsets/">dabble</a> in the wireless HD chipset realm, and while we'd heard that the outfit was looking into the matter <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/07/ibm-working-on-wireless-hdtv/">a year ago</a>, things are seemingly now moving forward. Big Blue has joined hands with MediaTek in a "joint initiative to develop ultra fast chipsets that can wirelessly transmit a full-length high definition movie to and from a home PC, handheld device, retail kiosk or television set nearly as fast as a viewer can push their remote control." Apparently, the happy couple will both utilize their knowledge of millimeter wave (mmWave) radio technology in order to construct chipsets that allow end users to fling a 10GB file to its destination in just "five seconds" -- all without wires, of course.

The firm has landed a deal with no less than ten integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers to incorporate its DTS HD Master Audio and / or DTS HD High Resolution Audio technology (not to mention the DTS HD LBR and encoder / transcoder jazz) into forthcoming chips. These microchips -- designed by Analog Devices, Broadcom, Cheertek, LSI, Matsushita, MediaTek, NEC, Renesas, Sigma Designs, and Sunplus Technology -- will contain DTS's high definition audio standards and will eventually find their way into next-generation HD DVD and Blu-ray players, AV <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/09/pioneers-elite-vsx-80txv-81txv-82txs-and-84txsi-receivers/">receivers</a>, and pre-packaged home theater systems. Additionally, the technology could even slither into the PC and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi--acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/">automobile</a> markets.
