Nexus S upgraded to Android Gingerbread over the air

A Bangalore: Google Nexus S has been upgraded with the latest version of the Android operating system - Gingerbread (Android 2.3.1) that arrives over the air. The update brings with the latest version of Google maps and fixes bugs.

The updates don't do anything massive to the phone. Plus if you have got yourself the Google maps for Android version 5, it won't make much of a difference to you. However, it appears that the slow browser has been fixed. But we must say that given the Nexus S has just launched, the upgrade comes pretty soon. The update is reported to be of 1.9MB. With no confirmation date for the upgrade, users can dial *#*#checkin#*#* to check if their phone has received the update or not.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
