New radiation norms: Manufacturers have to phase out old phones by August 2013

A copy of a note by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to mobile phone manufacturers, which was reviewed by Mint, gives the manufacturers a year more before their handsets that are not in line with the new radiation norms are phased out.

This is the latest in an ongoing attempt by the department to make mobile handset manufacturers conform to the new radiation norms. So far, the September 1 deadline persists for new models to comply with the Specific absorption rate (SAR) norms, while older phones can do so till August 31, 2013.

As per a notice by DoT in January, the SAR value had been revised to 1.6 watts per kilogram from 2 watts per kilogram (W/kg).
The revision came following a recommendation of an internal committee of the government comprising officials and experts from the DoT, the Indian Council of Medical Research, the Department of Biotechnology, the Ministries of Health, and the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The committee then submitted its recommendations in November.

As part of the new reforms, every handset manufactured in or imported to the country will be monitored for its compliance with the SAR limit, and no handsets with SAR count above the permissible limit will be allowed to be sold.

Radiation from mobile phones has been a topic of active discussion in the country, especially at a time when the device is so popular. We had reported earlier that there was a growing need for the government to tackle the mobile phone radiation problem on a war footing.

Some movement has already been initiated by the Delhi government with the impending introduction of radiation tags on mobile phones. In fact, in one of our earlier reports we had stated that beginning from September 1 this year, there would be more rigorous checks on the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones.

The SAR essentially measures at the rate at which the body absorbs energy when exposed to a radio frequency electromagnetic field or electronic devices using radio spectrum. On the topic of the extension of the deadline for old phones, the report further quoted Pankaj Mohindroo, National President of the Indian Cellular Association lobby group as saying, "This is just keeping in mind the (18-24 month) product life cycle of the existing models. The government has carefully considered the demand and supply position of mobile phones with the revised SAR value, time required to launch new models of mobile phones and phasing out of existing models."

Recently, it had also been reported that at an international conference organised by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal confirmed that the cellphone tower radiation levels in the country are well within the prescribed limits; hence, safe.

Post their respective deadlines, only those phones complying with the revised SAR value of 1.6W/kg would be allowed to be manufactured or imported in the country.

2012 to See Shipment of 100 Million Tablet PCs

According to ABI Research, the total number of tablet devices sold in the 2012 April – June period is 25 million units. While that is a thoroughly impressive figure, industry analysts report that from July to December over 100 million units will be shipped. Not surprisingly, the Apple iPad is leading with a commanding 69 percent of the market.

“Most impressive about Apple’s 17.0 million tablet shipments in 2Q’2012 was it nearly matched 2010 total worldwide shipments of 17.3 million for all vendors,” said ABI analyst Jeff Orr.

However, a major change in the tablet segment is underway with the recently launched Google Nexus 7 also creating a huge user base of its own. The upcoming Kindle Fire 2 is also expected to take the market by storm, and so will the iPad mini when it’s launched. A slew of other launches in the 7 inch segment is also in the wings, which is also expected to impact the tablet segment positively.

Lastly, there is also the Microsoft Surface, which along with other Windows 8 based tablet devices, is also likely to carve out a sizeable portion of the entire tablet market.

However, while the tablet market as a whole is in the midst of exponential growth, iPad’s dominance and appeal do not seem to wane. At the most, the Apple tablet will see its market share tumble in the face of increased competition, though with the market itself getting inflated, Apple’s tablet sales figure is not expected to see a massive downturn anytime soon.

Galaxy Note 10.1 way easier to disassemble and fix than iPad, report finds

A report from iFixit found that Samsung's new Galaxy Note 10.1 is significantly easier to disassemble and repair than the current king of tablets, Apple's third-generation iPad.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 scored eight out of 10 on iFixit's "repairability scale," with 10s being easier to take apart for service, recycling or curiosity.

That high score puts it leagues ahead of the latest iPad, which the site deemed a two out of 10.

The repairs site reports that the Galaxy Note 10.1's components can be easily replaced without having to take the entire tablet apart, and cites elements like separate LCD and front glass components as reasons the device scores so high.
Compare and contrast

To contrast, iFixit reports that the iPad is covered in "gobs, gobs and gobs of adhesive," and a battery that's "prone-to-start-a-fire-if-punctured" doesn't help either.

In addition, dismantling the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 requires only a Phillips #00 screwdriver, plastic opening tools, a "spudger," and iFixit's special guitar picks.

Stripping the iPad, on the other hand, requires all that plus a heat gun or hairdryer and heavy-duty suction cups to remove the display without cracking it.

A higher repairability score makes the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 even more attractive to techies and others who prefer to service their own devices rather than relying on expensive warranties and lengthy repair times from device makers and retailers.
Unsurprising results

This shouldn't be especially surprising, since Apple's devices are notoriously difficult to deconstruct.

The Cupertino tech giant caused a stir in July when it bowed out of EPEAT's environmentally-friendly tech registry program, despite later re-entering due to the ensuing backlash.

The latest MacBook Pro - the one with the retina display - may even get bumped from EPEAT's list or downgraded regardless, since its batteries are glued in, making them difficult to remove.
Samsung's ongoing crusade

Samsung, on the other hand, was named one of the tech companies most willing to cooperate with China's Green Choice Initiative as part of the coalition's 2011 study into tech manufacturing's environmental impact on their country.

Samsung even released three phones made from corn-based plastics in 2008 and a Blue Earth phone made from recycled bottles in 2009, and signed up for O2's Eco Rating scheme in 2010.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which debuted recently in the U.S., may not feature solar panels for power like the Blue Earth did, but at least it's easy to take the big tablet apart.
