<description><![CDATA[Steve Jobs thinks that HTML5 is the future of media-rich content on the Web, and eventually he might be right. But Web designers and their clients are working with Flash now, so to address this schism between the two, Adobe Labs today unveiled a new free tool called Wallaby that will convert Flash into HTML5.The Wallaby interface shown here post-conversion, with file and errors for filters and other features not supported in HTML5.(Credit:Adobe)Originally demonstrated at Adobe's MAX 2010 conference, the conversion process is currently workable but rough, said Adobe Flash Professional Senior Product Manager Tom Barclay. &quot;HTML5 will be an important technology for banner ads and Web publishing,&quot; he said but cautioned that Flash is heavily used by developers, especially games that require complex interactivity.As Wallaby works now, you select your FLA-formatted file and hit convert, and Wallaby changes the Flash file into HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. Most of your Flash file will get converted, Barclay said, including most drawing elements, fills, shape tweens, motion tweens, symbol names and instance names. Since it's built on Adobe's Air platform, both Windows andMac based developers will be able to use it.The built-in logging tool tells you which elements were not converted, and these currently including the audio and video tags. Barclay said Adobe Systems is looking for feedback from developers before it decides if it will add support for the more complicated aspects of HTML5 at a later date. &quot;Developers can add interactivity after the conversion using JQuery and JavaScript,&quot; explained Barclay. The initial goal of the tool, he added, is to support banner ad development on iPhones, iPads, andiPod Touches since Apple has no plans to allow its iOS to support Flash, although he said that the HTML5 output will be appropriate for any WebKit-basedmobile browser. (Android's default browser is also built on WebKit.)With standards on HTML5 still in development, Adobe is positioning itself here with a leg up on easing the transition for developers who will inevitably have to use both technologies concurrently, at least for the foreseeable future.  <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Huawei has won a court order that prevents Motorola Solutions from revealing trade secrets as the latter looks to sell its wireless equipment business to Nokia Siemens Networks.Filing a lawsuit against Motorola late last month, the Chinese telecom equipment provider claims that Motorola could potentially share trade secrets with Nokia Siemens in the $1.2 billion deal that would transfer both Motorola technology and employees.Motorola has for years been selling Huawei's wireless equipment, so its employees are well versed in Huawei's products and technology. Huawei considers Nokia Siemens a competitor. As a result, Huawei argues that the Motorola employees who move to Nokia Siemens pose a problem because they have direct knowledge of Huawei trade secrets.The injunction, handed down Tuesday by Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman in U.S. District Court in Illinois, states that Huawei demonstrated the merits of its case, pointing to Nokia Siemens' plan to &quot;hire former Motorola employees with knowledge of Huawei's trade secrets.&quot; The judge also found that &quot;Huawei has established that it will suffer irreparable competitive harm if its trade secrets are disclosed to NSN or are inevitably relied upon by former Motorola employees who transfer to NSN.&quot;The injunction issued Tuesday follows a temporary restraining order that was granted last month after the suit was filed.The new ruling bars only the divulging of trade secrets to Nokia Siemens--not the actual sale of Motorola's network business, as Huawei had requested.Nicholas Sweers, Motorola Solutions' vice president for global communications, e-mailed the company's official comment to CNET. &quot;We are extremely pleased that the judge denied that portion of Huawei's request that would have blocked our sale of the business to NSN, specifically preventing the transfer of Motorola Solutions' employees to NSN' and carving out a portion of the business from the sale to NSN.&quot;However, Huawei sees victory.Bill Plummer, Huawei's vice president of external affairs, told CNET that &quot;we're genuinely pleased that the court has recognized the merits of the claim and that the court has recognized that Motorola needs to abide by its contractual obligations to protect our trade secrets and intellectual property rights.&quot;In its defense, Motorola said that it &quot;respects and will continue to protect Huawei's confidential information&quot; as outlined in agreements the two companies signed around five years ago. But Huawei is looking to arbitration as the next step.&quot;We look forward now to Motorola turning its focus to the substantive process of arbitration as called for in our contracts so that we can ensure that our intellectual property rights are protected and they can move on with their sale to our competitor,&quot; Plummer said.Motorola said it is still looking to close the deal with Nokia Siemens before the end of the first quarter and is pursuing approval with Chinese regulatory authorities.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Telecommunications infrastructure maker Alcatel-Lucent announced this week new technology that will help wireless carriers expand their networks to keep up with the explosive growth in mobile data.The company announced this week a new compact cell phone antenna system called lightRadio, which incorporates radio technology and base station technology in a single box. The entire system, which can fit on a lamp post, is a fraction of the size of today's cellular equipment. Current cellular networks require massive and power-hungry cell phone towers that house the antennas with a separate base station at the bottom of those towers that control the antennas.When carriers have needed to add capacity or improve coverage, they've had to deploy these massive cell site towers. Alcatel-Lucent's lightRadio system, which will be ready for carrier trials later this year, allows carriers to deploy new cell sites much faster and less expensively than they have been able to do in the past. It also means that carriers can reduce the electricity used to power the cell phone towers and base stations.All in all, wireless operators can reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining a new cell site by almost half of what it is today.That has huge implications for the wireless industry, which is struggling to keep up with demand for more data services from smartphones andtablet PCs. In fact wireless data traffic is expected to increase 26 times between 2010 and 2015 according to Cisco's latest Visual Networking Index Forecast. Cisco conducts the survey every year to track network growth.&quot;It's clear that the explosion in mobile data will continue,&quot; said Wim Sweldens, president of Alcatel-Lucent's wireless division. &quot;The architecture that Alcatel-Lucent is proposing will help avert a potential wireless crisis. If carriers don't move in this architectural direction then the problems we are starting to see today will only get bigger. And growing the networks will not be economically viable.&quot;Wireless carriers have been preparing for traffic increases by adding more capacity to their radio networks as well as their back-haul networks that carry the traffic from the radio towers to the Internet. The wireless industry has been pushing the Federal Communications Commission to make more wireless spectrum available so that they can increase capacity. But getting new spectrum into the market takes time.One way to add more capacity to the available spectrum is to deploy more cell sites that are smaller in area. Splitting cell sites means that wireless operators can serve more customers or provide more bandwidth to individual customers in each cell site.Carriers have already begun using a mix of a smaller and smaller cell sites in their networks. For example, femtocells provide personal cell sites that can be in a home or business. The smaller cell sites are connected to a home or office broadband connection to improve wireless indoor coverage.But splitting cell sites on a macro level in a metropolitan area is a little trickier if the old cell tower and base station architecture is used. Getting new cell towers approved is time consuming. And putting up those towers is expensive. It's also expensive to run these towers, which means long-term this architecture isn't viable.That's where Alcatel-Lucent says it's lightRadio technology comes in. It would allow wireless operators to deploy smaller cell sites much more quickly and at a much lower cost. &quot;We are applying the same principles that we've talked about in using femtocells for the entire mobile network,&quot; Sweldens said. &quot;We start by replacing the big towers with smaller elements that are easier to deploy, use less power, and connect smaller sites to broadband infrastructure that is already in place. So we can take advantage of the cloud-like architecture to get better economies of scale that either lead to reducing costs for operators or the ability to deliver more bits at the same cost.&quot;The new technology has other important benefits as well. Because the antennas are software configurable, carriers can use the same set of equipment to offer 2G, 3G, and 4G service from the same access point. What's more, upgrading from one technology to another simply requires a software upgrade.This is very different from what is done now. Today, when wireless carriers upgrade from a 3G technology such as EV-DO or HSPA to a next-generation technology, such as LTE, they are required to deploy new hardware. But with the Alcatel-Lucent lightRadio system, they simply do the upgrade in software.But Alcatel-Lucent's new technology, which is modular in design like building blocks in a Lego set, is not just a big improvement for existing wireless players. It can also be used to help other companies, such as cable operators, get into the wireless market at a much lower cost.Cable companies already have a lot of high-capacity broadband infrastructure in the ground. And some of them also own wireless spectrum licenses. Cox Communications has used some of that spectrum to build a regional wireless network, while others such as Comcast and Time Warner Cable have invested in other wireless services like Clearwire.&quot;The future for any broadband provider is building one network that can serve customers whether they are mobile or at home,&quot; Sweldens said. &quot;Our new technology will help companies leverage their existing wireline infrastructure to provide wireless services. The cable MSO market is definitely one of our target markets.&quot;Alcatel-Lucent isn't the only company that is developing smaller, more modular and wireless configurable cell phone access points. Market leaders, such as Ericsson and Huawei, have also been working on software-defined radio technology. But Sweldens believes that Alcatel-Lucent is the first company to announce plans for these products.&quot;This is indeed part of a general trend in the industry,&quot; he said. &quot;But what we've done is made a breakthrough by building the smaller cubes that fit together. We feel pretty confident that we are the first to commit to such a product road map. And that is the news.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
