Beginning a New Decade
Q Magazine was launched a decade ago, in the dawn of the digital information age. The first mobile news service delivered via SMS was launched in Finland in 2000, and it was not only a precursor to a wealth of information services including a social media network and mobile environment, but it was also a harbinger of the evolution from print to the digital information age.

Smart Sustainability - join ARM's research project and receive free benchmarking opportunities

ARM and IBLF have launched a survey on how the technology sector is addressing global sustainability issues.

The brief online questionnaire will take no more than 5 minutes and all participants will be sent a soft copy of the final "Smart Sustainability" report.

There are significant extra benefits if you then have time to go on and complete a more detailed survey, which will take around twenty minutes:

  • a (confidential) report benchmarking your company's performance against other respondents
  • the right to use this data, and the final "Smart Sustainability" report, in your own publications
  • $10 donation to the East African Drought Campaign from ARM for every full survey completed
The resulting report is assured excellent coverage through ARM's participation in the UN LEAD initiative and the associated activities. The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) is working with ARM to compile this report. Please click here to complete the questionnaire.

We would like to thank you in advance for your participation. If you have any queries about the questionnaire, please contact Bridget Cochrane, Director of the Digital Partnership at IBLF [email protected].

Product of the Month

ARM Powered E-Paper Smartwatch
 
The ARM powered Pebble watch for IPhone and Android is being billed as the watch of the 21st century.

The water resistant Pebble runs on an ARM Cortex-M3 processor with a 3-axis accelerometer and a 144x168 e-paper display. It connects to iPhone and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, alerting users via a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails, weather alerts and Twitter and Facebook messages. Apps for the Pebble include a bike computer, accessing the GPS on the smartphone to display speed, distance and pace data. Runners get a similar set of data displayed on their wrist. A golfing app, in conjunction with Freecaddie, is being developed that will work on 25,000 courses worldwide. Golfers can view current distance on a green on their wrist! Other apps are in the pipeline, the company said. More details here (http://getpebble.com).
