As from wikipedia: Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate efficiently avoiding interference with licensed or unlicensed users.

This is one of the current core research topics of Nokia Research:

Cognitive radio is one of the core research topics of Nokia Research. Faster data transmission in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) will enable new mobile use cases and increase the quality of current services, but we are already taking steps to the future in cognitive radio. We aim to empower a new realm of devices and services through optimised connectivity, where devices use the available spectrum in a dynamic and flexible fashion.

Here’s a recent video looking at the work Nokia has been doing with cognitive radio, very interesting:

(Via Nokia Conversation) – Nokia just announced 2 new entertainment-oriented devices at Nokia Connection in Singapore: the Nokia X5-01 and the Nokia X6 8GB.

The most interesting is the Nokia X5 which plugs part of the gap between the Nokia X3 and Nokia X6, but as you can see from the video above, is a pretty unique device. The Nokia X5 features excellent sound quality, dedicated music keys and loud speakers, and will include access to Ovi Music, and to Comes with Music in some regions.

Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking. The breach, which comes just weeks after an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in a bar, exposed the most exclusive email list on the planet, a collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers that includes thousands of A-listers in finance, politics and media, from New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson to Diane Sawyer of ABC News to film mogul Harvey Weinstein to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It even appears that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s information was compromised.

It doesn’t stop there. According to the data we were given by the web security group that exploited vulnerabilities on the AT&T network, it seems that 114,000 user accounts have been compromised, although it’s possible that confidential information about every iPad 3G owner in the U.S. has been exposed.

Want to see Froyo (Android 2.2) running on the iPhone? If so, take a look at the ideo below:

Gadgets DNA have the instructions on how to load Froyo onto your handset, but don’t expect the world just yet: neither sound nor WiFi are working at the moment, but youcan send SMS. Which is good, I guess. (via MobileCrunch)
