Google Muscles Further Into Paid Discovery Of Apps With New Focus On Click-To-Download Mobile Ads

Shut Up And Take My Money AndroidThe app stores are overrun, and there's little way to get noticed until you break into the charts. So Google has just announced a new AdWords unit called "Click-To-Download" mobile ads that lead directly to iTunes and Google Play. With a similar design to Facebook's app ads, Google is reaching out its hand for a cut of the paid discovery market emerging as every company in the world goes mobile.

E Ink Android Phone Lasts a Week, Weighs Next to Nothing

Who would want a smartphone with a grayscale E Ink screen?? Anyone who want days of? battery life, superior outdoor readability and low cost should be interested in using the technology in a phone. At Mobile World Congress?this week, we got our hands on a prototype Android smartphone with an e-Ink screen and were blown away by just how light it was about how sharp text looked on its screen and how long it could last.

Not keen on giving up your full-color, full HD display on your phone? E Ink technology should be coming soon to back covers for phones, supplying info at a glance without draining your battery.

The device we used has no official name, because it?s one of only a handful of prototypes made by eInk, the company behind the grayscale screens that power so many popular devices like the Kindle and Nook. Our demo came courtesy of Nicholas Charbonnier, the proprietor of ARMdevices.net who has reported extensively about the evolution of? E Ink technology. The device is designed to last at least a week on a charge and cost cost as little as 150 euros unsubsidized, he said.

Charbonnier told us that E Ink ?is working with hardware partners not only to bring full-fledged E Ink smartphones to market, but also to develop E Ink back panels for popular phones with removable backs. The end products, which could cost as little as $50, would be replace users? existing battery covers with ones that had E Ink screens.

These E Ink accessories would use Bluetooth to communicate to the phone and an app would allow users to put their favorite content on the back of the phone where it could be viewed even when the phone is asleep. Because E Ink screens don?t use any power when not actively changing pictures, these second screens would help increase battery life by helping you avoid activating the front display as often.

The Russian Yota Phone, which we saw at CES, will come with an E Ink screen on its backside when it launches later this year. These upgrade panels would allow users of popular phones to get the same functionality. However, no partnerships have been announced as of yet for either a back panel E Ink replacement or standalone E Ink phone.

Perhaps because it can use a smaller battery or because it has an older ARM processor ? Charbonnier said it has a Qualcomm A5 chip ? the reference design weighed a mere 80 grams and felt as light as paper in our hand.?

The device was running a very stripped down, ancient version of Android with a home screen that had a set of tiles for Messages, Phone, e-Reader, Contacts, Applications and Settings. The applications menu had just a handful of apps, including a voice recorder, web browser and a Chinese app. The contacts list, settings and dialer were all standard Android 2.3 apps. The e-Reader had a list of Chinese-language books and, when we opened them, text was sharp.

Unfortunately, it was too dark out at the time of our hands-on to do a direct sunlight test, but Charbonnier captured images of the device outdoors for an article on the E Ink phone and they show a Samsung phone with a screen that?s completely unreadable in the sun right next to the very-sharp E Ink phone. That said,we noticed a lot of bugs in the way the screen drew and redrew it self; there were often artifacts on the screen, which Charbonnier cleared away by shaking the device.

Navigating between menus was painfully slow, and though the device supports multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, it wasn?t always responsive. There was also significant lag when redrawing the screen, which is always a problem on E Ink screens but was particularly sluggish on this device. That said, it?s important to note this is very much a reference design and proof of concept. When final E Ink phones come out, Charbonnier says they will undoubtedly have an Android skin that uses fewer animations and non-scrolling menus so that the slow draw times are not a problem.

The low power, sharp and images, light weight and low price of dedicated E Ink phones make them particularly compelling for developing markets where cost is important and power is scarce. However, having a second E Ink screen like the Yota Phone is truly compelling in any environment. We can?t wait to see how this initiative turns out.

PFT: Colts franchise punter? |? Bills tag Byrd

Vonta LeachAP

Bills WR Stevie Johnson already is recruiting players like 49ers S Dashon Goldson.? (It?s not tampering unless the team puts the player up to it.)

The Jets have signed three players with Arena League experience.? (Hey, you never know where you?re going to find your next personal punt protector.)

To tag or not to tag, that is the question for the Patriots, as debated by Mike Reiss and Field Yates of ESPNBoston.com.

The Dolphins continue to conduct junior training camps at local elementary schools.? (Sometimes, the fruit just hangs too low.)

The Ravens have a tough decision to make with FB Vonta Leach, who participated in only 42 percent of the snaps in 2012.

Hawaii CB Mike Edwards, a Cleveland native, wants to play for the Browns.

Players who get tagged by the Bengals typically stay only one more year.

Former Steelers RB Carey Davis is pursuing an acting career.

Titans LB Will Witherspoon hopes to play four more years, even though he lost his starting job in 2012.

Colts owner Jim Irsay says that, if the Colts have earned the third pick or lower in 2012, they would have kept QB Peyton Manning.

Jaguars president Mark Lamping talks about the effort to build enhanced video boards at EverBank Field; ?If we don?t keep up, we?re falling behind. We can?t afford to do that in a market this size, because if we do, then we put the franchise at risk,? Lamping said.

Texans LB Brooks Reed could move from the outside to the inside in 2013.? (And it?s time for a question from Gronk:? ?Don?t they already play in a dome??)

Factoring in the trade for QB Alex Smith, the Chiefs will have $7.5 million in cap space, which means they?d have to create more of it to tag WR Dwayne Bowe.

Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was scheduled to speak at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.? (His comments may or may not have touched upon properly managing water bills.)

Here?s a look at the Chargers who could be cutting their pay in order to help the team clear cap space.

Raiders LS Jon Condo will receive the team?s 2012 Commitment to Excellence Award on March 9.? (The fruit still hangs too low.)

Cowboys CB Brandon Carr says he restructured his contract because he?s a ?team player.?

Giants coach Tom Coughlin reunited with players from his first head-coaching gig, at Rochester Institute of Technology, way back in 1970.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and his ex-wife are still making movies together.

Suing the league over cap space could mean that the Redskins would never host a Super Bowl.

DE Chris Canty will visit the Packers next week, his agent confirmed.

LB Nick Roach hopes to return to the Bears, at the right price.

LB Justin Durant hopes to return to the Lions, at the right price.

Vikings P Chris Kluwe explains that, when inappropriate questions are posed at the Scouting Combine, the prospective rookie can?t say ?go eff yourself.?

The bounty scandal emerged for the Saints one year ago today.

Former Falcons DE John Abraham still wants to see the team do well, even after it cut him.

Friday?s moves leave the Panthers $3.5 million over the cap, a problem that will be solved as soon as they cut CB Chris Gamble.

With their division rivals dumping a pass rusher, the Buccaneers have even greater incentive to keep DE Michael Bennett off the open market.

ESPN?s Trent Dilfer thinks 49ers (for now) QB Alex Smith will be in even better position in Chiefs coach Andy Reid?s offense.

It?s been 11 years since the Seahawks introduced the uniforms they abandoned a year ago.

Rams COO Kevin Demoff on analytics in football:? ?There is so much in play with respect to the team?s system . . . there is so much covariance in a football game because there are so many other factors.?

Hearing-impaired advocates have sued the Cardinals for failing to provide appropriate accommodations.? (Apparently, the Cardinals aren?t keen on putting ?the crowd is booing . . . again? on the video boards.)

New Rochelle, NY, March 1, 2013Most adults and children with type 1 diabetes are not in optimal glycemic control, despite advances in insulin formulations and delivery systems and glucose monitoring approaches. Critical barriers to optimal glycemic control remain. A panel of experts in diabetes management and research met to explore these challenges, and their conclusions and recommendations for how to improve care and optimize clinical decision-making are presented in a white paper in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics (DTT), a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The paper is available free on the Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics website at http://www.liebertpub.com/dia.

Lead author Richard Bergenstal, MD, International Diabetes Center at Park Nicollet (IDC), outlines the critical issues impacting diabetes management as identified by the panel of luminaries in the field of diabetes during meetings facilitated by the IDC and funded by the Helmsley Charitable Trust. The team of authors emphasizes the critical need for standardization in the collection, reporting, visualization, and analysis of glucose monitoring data, and proposes clear and practical recommendations for implementing these solutions.

The expert panel included DTT Editor-in-Chief Satish Garg, MD, DTT Senior Editor Irl Hirsch, MD, and Andrew Ahmann, MD, Timothy Bailey, MD, Roy Beck, MD, PhD, Joan Bissen, Bruce Buckingham, MD, Larry Deeb, MD, Robert Dolin, MD, Robin Goland, MD, David Klonoff, MD, Davida Kruger, MSN, Glenn Matfin, MB ChB, MSc, Roger Mazze, PhD, Beth Olson, BAN, RN, Christopher Parkin, MS, Anne Peters, MD, Margaret Powers, PhD, Henry Rodriguez, MD, Phil Southerland, Ellie Strock, ANP-BC, William Tamborlane, MD, and David Wesley.

"Glucose monitoring is an essential part of effective diabetes management, and although it has come a long way, both health care providers and patients are frustrated that glucose data reporting has not been standardized," says Satish Garg, MD, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Colorado Denver. "The recommendations reported in this white paper are a good first step toward improving health care outcomes in type 1 diabetes."

The white paper is accompanied by three Commentaries: one by DTT Editor-in-Chief Satish Garg, MD, one by Francine Ratner Kaufman, MD, Medtronic and Children's Hospital, Los Angeles, and one by Aaron Kowalski, PhD and Sanjoy Dutta, PhD, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
