PLANET COMPUTERS ANNOUNCES GEMINI PDA to RUN SAILFISH OS Submitted By: XL Communications Wednesday, 27 June 2018 PLANET COMPUTERS ANNOUNCES GEMINI PDA TO RUN SAILFISH OS Submitted by: XL Communications Wednesday, 27 June 2018 •Gemini PDA to run Sailfish OS mobile operating system – developed by Jolla •See Gemini in action at CommunicAsia 2018 – Marina Bay Sands, Level 5, Stand 5L4-10 •Sailfish for Gemini Community Edition available to download now London, UK: Planet Computers (https://www.planetcom.co.uk/) today announces the Gemini PDA will feature Sailfish OS mobile operating system, developed by Finnish mobile company Jolla (https://jolla.com/). The long-standing partnership between the two companies means Sailfish 3 – the third generation of the open-source mobile operating system, based on the Linux kernel – is to be made available on the Gemini PDA. The Gemini PDA is a quad-boot mobile device, capable of booting into Android OS as well as a number of Linux distributions – including Sailfish OS. Sailfish X, the downloadable and official version of the OS, will be available in late 2018 and will feature a suite of advanced functions including: over-the-air (OTA) updates; Jolla Store access; end-user support; and crucially for Gemini users, full support for landscape user-interface (UI), encrypted user data and communications, Android app support and a refreshed user interface, with improvements like redesigned email. In the meantime, Sailfish for Gemini Community Edition – a community supported version based on Sailfish OS 2.0 – is free and available to download now here. (http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html) Gemini PDA is being showcased at CommunicAsia 2018 – Marina Bay Sands, Level 5, Stand 5L4-10. Dr Janko Mrsic-Flogel, CEO of Planet Computers comments: “This is the next stage in our partnership with Jolla and it is an important step in our mission to open up the Gemini PDA to the Sailfish community. Users will be able to benefit from the technical performance provided by the quad-boot features of the Gemini PDA and explore the power of Sailfish OS for themselves.” Sami Pienimäki, CEO of Jolla, says: “We are excited that Gemini PDA will join the Sailfish X family starting now with the community edition, and followed by the official version later this year. Gemini PDA with its full QWERTY keyboard is a very lucrative device for many Sailfish fans and it also brings back memories of the iconic Nokia N900 device. Gemini PDA with Sailfish OS is a very powerful combination.” Gemini PDA has raised more than $2.3 million in investment to date. For the latest updates, click here.

  • Download Android Os for Phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives to Android
    download android os for phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android. It’s no exaggeration to say that open source operating systems rule the world of mobile devices. Android is still an open-source project, after all. But, due to the bundle of proprietary software that comes along with Android on consumer devices, many people don’t consider it an open source operating system. So, what are the alternatives to Android? iOS? Maybe, but I am primarily interested in open-source alternatives to Android. I am going to list not one, not two, but several alternatives, Linux-based mobile OSes . Top Open Source alternatives to Android (and iOS) Let’s see what open source mobile operating systems are available. Just to mention, the list is not in any hierarchical or chronological order . 1. Plasma Mobile. A few years back, KDE announced its open source mobile OS, Plasma Mobile. Plasma Mobile is the mobile version of the desktop Plasma user interface, and aims to provide convergence for KDE users. It is being actively developed, and you can even find PinePhone running on Manjaro ARM while using KDE Plasma Mobile UI if you want to get your hands on a smartphone. 2. postmarketOS. PostmarketOS (pmOS for short) is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux with its own packages, which can be installed on smartphones. The idea is to enable a 10-year life cycle for smartphones. You probably already know that, after a few years, Android and iOS stop providing updates for older smartphones. At the same time, you can run Linux on older computers easily.

  • Therapeutic Effects of a Taurine-Magnesium Coordination Compound on Experimental Models of Type 2 Short QT Syndrome
    Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (2018) 39: 382–392 © 2018 CPS and SIMM All rights reserved 1671-4083/18 www.nature.com/aps Article Therapeutic effects of a taurine-magnesium coordination compound on experimental models of type 2 short QT syndrome Meng-yao AN1, Kai SUN1, Yan LI1, Ying-ying PAN1, Yong-qiang YIN1, Yi KANG1, Tao SUN2, Hong WU1, Wei-zhen GAO1, Jian-shi LOU1, * 1Department of Pharmacology, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin 300070, China; 2State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China Abstract Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a genetic arrhythmogenic disease that can cause malignant arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The current therapies for SQTS have application restrictions. We previously found that Mg· (NH2CH2CH2SO3)2· H2O, a taurine-magnesium coordination compound (TMCC) exerted anti-arrhythmic effects with low toxicity. In this study we established 3 different models to assess the potential anti-arrhythmic effects of TMCC on type 2 short QT syndrome (SQT2). In Langendorff guinea pig-perfused hearts, perfusion of pinacidil (20 μmol/L) significantly shortened the QT interval and QTpeak and increased rTp-Te (P<0.05 vs control). Subsequently, perfusion of TMCC (1–4 mmol/L) dose-dependently increased the QT interval and QTpeak (P<0.01 vs pinacidil). TMCC perfusion also reversed the rTp-Te value to the normal range. In guinea pig ventricular myocytes, perfusion of trapidil (1 mmol/L) significantly shortened the action potential duration at 50% (APD50) and 90% repolarization (APD90), which was significantly reversed by TMCC (0.01–1 mmol/L, P<0.05 vs trapidil).
