The Japanese version of the Samsung Galaxy S III is going to get a massive upgrade of 1 GB of RAM, making a total of 2 GB of RAM. If you are currently in Japan, then you’re in luck. You will be getting your hands on one of the most powerful devices in the world.

• New lock screen with access to various phone functions. Users will have to move elements around the screen to access them.
• In the Applications screen, the order will be marked by the use we give to each application. We will discover a Downloaded tab and add the ability to put our pictures as icons.
• Improvements in camera application: It allows us to launch a flurry of photos and choose the best. Users may also use voice recognition to capture the photo, without pressing any buttons.
• Applications are added as Quick Memo: With it, you can take notes in a fastly and comfortably and share with the world.

This graphical interface will be available on the LG Optimus LTE II and the LG Optimus 4X HD at the time of its release.

It goes without saying that users are not happy with the change. Once users reach the limit of 10 devices, they can only deauthorize 4 devices per year. That’s a big change in the method above, where there was no restriction of this type. It is a disappointing step for Google, which usually embraces the open source community. Although, this case could be a request of restriction from the music companies.

Technology companies have to deal with copyright rules to offer streaming of digital content, so that Google would be responding to pressure from the music companies. There is no official word from the company, so we’ll just have to see what happens in the future.

Cupertino took more of a surprise when he introduced a phone that had no keys. The idea was revolutionary, becoming almost a standard among mobile devices. Now, think of a phone that is not even supposed to touch the screen to use it. At most, you only hold in your hand to see the content, but the commands from your brain travel directly to the device. So far, no smartphone has this kind of integrated technology. However, brain interfaces are not foreign to us. Some readers will remember the toy and its version of Mindflex Duel, while others may think of the famous Star Wars Force Trainer, a great success at the Christmas of 2009. Both have in common with this creator, NeuroSky, who recently presented the Mindwave Mobile, which is a brain interface specially designed to control smartphones.

Now, “control” is a term too broad, because it is unlikely that you can turn on and off your smartphone just by thinking about it. However, the Mindwave Mobile is compatible with several applications and games that can read your brain waves. One such application is MyndPlay, which according to the official explanation, allows the user to change the plot of a film according to your state. Making a hero misses his last mission, reducing the fast pace of an action movie or romantic comedy turn that into a pitched battle would be some of the possibilities within MyndPlay. This is partly reminiscent of the famous format of “Choose your adventure”  children’s stories.

The interface is compatible with IOS and Android devices, but has not released an official list of supported smartphones. Mindwave Mobile connects to the phone via Bluetooth, and uses a single AAA battery that gives a battery life of eight hours. NeuroSky is selling the Mindwave Mobile on their official website at a price of $129.99 dollars, and offer the classic version of Mindwave for Windows and OS X.

The device has 32GB of capacity, 4.3-inch screen and Wi-Fi that allows users to access social networks, e-mails and the new online music service, Terra Sonora. The Sony Walkman Z has the technology of  Integrated S-Master MX digital amplifier, which reduces noise and distortion to improve the sound of the songs from the users.

The Sony Walkman Z offers a battery life of 20 hours music playback and 5 hours when playing video. Another feature of the Sony device is that it classifies the music collection of users with the help of the SensMe tool. You simply choose from 14 channels to suit your mood at the time of day.

Also, users can connect directly with the Terra Sonora online music service and access millions of songs from all genres and styles of music for free for a period of six months. The device will be available starting the second week of May.

Without providing financial details of the purchase, both companies have assured themselves in a statement that the ownership of patents is divided between the two. Nvidia will license the patent rights to purchase and IPWireless will not have the right to access many of them without paying royalties.

The purchase, Nvidia said in the statement, will help the company in its growth to the mobile industry. One of the biggest trends of 2012 in the market are quad-core processors for smartphones. This was demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last February. Nvidia is one of the manufacturers that sets trends with its Tegra chips, which can be found on the LG Optimus 4x HD and HTC  One X that recently acquired patents allow Nvidia to take a step further to integrate LTE technology in its chips.

Not long ago, Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO, announced that Tegra Nvidia plans to bring LTE to the U.S. market in the second half. Tegra 3 is the first quad-core processor for mobile and is considered the biggest upgrade for smartphones. From the third quarter, Nvidia and its partners will begin working to bring LTE devices with Tegra in the United States.

“The Prism eGlide is packed with the latest technology developed for a better user experience,” says Roy Rayn, General Manager of Ematic. “It is also elegant in size which makes the tablet perfect for people who are always in motion.”

The Prism eGlide tablet promises to improve the experience in gaming and entertainment. It runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system to better process performance, faster web browsing and a refined interface.

The device is still optimized for media entertainment with its 7-inch touchscreen display.

The video player supports HD video up to 2160p.

It has single core 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 8 GB of internal storage and 5 GB of cloud storage, Wi-Fi connectivity. It comes with headphones, USB cable, protective sleeve and 3D glasses.

Mikael Hed, Rovio CEO, said he acquired the rights to “Casey’s Contraptions”, a game of creating mechanisms used in cell phones and computers. The rights were sold by the creators of Snappy Touch and Mystery Coconut.

Hed told YLE TV, a Finnish  network, that the game will be renamed as “Amazing Alex” and will focus on “a funny guy who loves to build things.”

He added that Angry Birds, the game where a group of birds without wings with elastic bands who aims to wipe out pigs, has reached 1.000 million downloads, in just two years after its launch.

Rovio said its revenues for 2011 were 75.4 million euros (98 million), but gave no figures for the previous year to serve as a framework for comparison.

Last month, Rovio launched its first theme park, “Angry Birds” in Finland.

Like the L710, the L300 will have LTE connectivity. Moreover, it is said that the L300 uses the same dual-core Snapdragon processor S4.

Brief Mobile has a photo of the Samsung SPH-L300, which shows the device with three physical keys. The phone must be running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and should come with a WVGA screen of unknown size, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 5 megapixel rear camera, 1 GB RAM, and 4GB of ROM.

There is no word on as to when the Samsung  SPH-L300 will be available in Sprint. However, looking at its characteristics, it can be cheaper than the L710 (or the HTC Evo 4G LTE), which should go on sale next May 18.
