formed by skype co-founders, starship technologies is a european startup planning on building a fleet of self-driving delivery drones made to transport goods locally within 30 minutes. designed using readily available components, the robots are lightweight and low-cost, enabling the company to bring the current cost of delivery down by 10 to 15 times per shipment.

the fleet will reduce CO2 emissions, and will create unprecedented convenience for individuals while opening up new opportunities for businesses such as parcel firms or grocery stores. the robots are intended to slip seamlessly into the environment, traveling at slow speeds on sidewalks blending safely in with pedestrian traffic. starship technologies are currently testing and demonstrating prototypes and plans to launch the first pilot services in cooperation with its partners in the US, UK and other countries in 2016.

‘our vision revolves around three zeroes – zero cost, zero waiting time and zero environmental impact,’ explains ahti heinla, a skype co-founder and CEO at starship technologies. ‘we want to do to local deliveries what skype did to telecommunications. with e-commerce continuing to grow consumers expect to have more convenient options for delivery – but at a cost that suits them. the last few miles often amounts to the majority of the total delivery cost. our robots are purposely designed using the technologies made affordable by mobile phones and tablets – it’s fit for purpose, and allows for the cost savings to be passed on to the customer.’

Samsung Gear S2 offer the best things that you need most from your smartphone

                                     Samsung Gear S2 has changed the concept of smartphone usage and this has offered ways for users. This is much better looking than other prior Samsung watches and has brand new users interface and will work with almost every android Smartphone. This will be as different from Samsung’s earlier watches as the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge were from their Smartphones.

The Gear S2 is the first circular design smartwatch from Samsung and will be more attractive then Samsung earlier chunky rectangular models. This will be good for the proportions and will be comfortably fit for the wrist size.

The display is a 1.2-inch circular AMOLED screen with a 360 x 360 pixel resolution translating to a pixel density to of 302ppi (pixels per inch). This is actually a very good resolution for a smartwatch, so the Gear S2 should look sharp and bright on the wrist.

As far as the operating system is concerned, the Gear S2 runs on Samsung’s own Tizen OS and it is powered by 1GHz dual-core processor with 512MB of RAM, which is pretty standard on a smartwatch, and 4GB of storage.

Connectivity options on the Gear S2 includes the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC, enabling it to make mobile payments via Samsung Pay and control other NFC-enabled devices. The 3G model doesn’t need any smartphone and it can work on its own , thanks to the “first-ever e-SIM with voice capability,” as Samsung puts it.

According to The Korea Herald, which cites “industry sources,” the 3G-equipped Gear S2 accounts for around half of those sales, while the entry-level Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic combine to make up the other half.
