INFLIGHT CONNECTIVITY ON SINGAPORE AIRLINES

Singapore Airline will be introduced and be able to stay connected at all times with OnAir's in-flight connectivity system based on Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband for those traveling in and around Asia on Singapore Airlines. They are expected to provide passengers on medium- and long-haul flights with “access to Wi-Fi internet and mobile telephony services.” This should, in theory, enable patrons to send and receive SMS text messages with their GSM-compatible handsets, send and receive emails on their laptops and smartphones and potentially make and receive voice calls. SIA expects to have the first of its fleet equipped in the first half of 2011, with introductions to happen in progressive fashion on its Airbus A380, Airbus A340-500 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

Singapore Airlines' connectivity partner OnAir has roaming agreements with about 200 mobile network operators globally, including the three main operators in Singapore.

Let them watch this video, and try to explain that they’re the sole champion of a one thousand kilometre journey challenge.

PEUGEOT EX1 ELECTRIC ROADSTER

The French automaker has launched a unique take on the formula called the Peugeot EX1. The EX1 has already broken several world records for acceleration from a standing start. It owes its stunning performance to its streamlined aerodynamics, its ultra-light structure and its two electric motors, which give the car a cumulative maximum power of 250 kW (340 bhp) and four-wheel drive. As the preparations for the commercial launch of the iOn near completion, Peugeot demonstrates with the EX1 the exciting possibilities for electric power.

The pure styling of this two-seater roadster is in keeping with its mechanical design, like a kind of “exoskeleton” highlighting the light-weight nature that guided the vehicle’s creation. The design of the body incorporates Peugeot’s new stylistic design codes, first seen on the SR1 concept car earlier this year, with its “floating” front grille and flowing contours. Polished aluminium components adorn the door surrounds in a reference to the RCZ and BB1.

The electric motor is a potential source of new driving sensations thanks to its exceptional acceleration capabilities, but also because it is silent in operation and makes the car very easy to drive (no need for a gearbox). On the EX1 concept car, two electric motors are used, one on each axle, each with a peak output of 125 kW (250 kW / 340 bhp in total), and an immediately available constant maximum torque of 240 Nm at the front and rear.
