Asus WP7 smartphone.

Le premier smartphone d'Asus sous Windows Phone 7 ne devrait plus tarder à faire son apparition, son dossier technique ayant été validé par la FCC aux Etats-Unis.

Asus WP7 smartphone.Il était furtivement apparu dans la chaleur du mois d'août, largement en amont du lancement de Windows Phone 7 en octobre, laissant entendre qu'Asus se lancerait dans la course, mais il n'était pas présent parmi les terminaux le 21 octobre pour le lancement commercial européen.

Le smartphone Asus E600, premier modèle de la marque sous Windows Phone 7, ne devrait pourtant plus rester un inconnu longtemps. De nouveaux documents sont apparus sur le site de la FCC ( Federal Communications Commission ), organisme américain qui valide le dossier techniques des appareils électroniques et vérifie leur conformité par rapport aux standards sans fil.

La validation par la FCC est généralement la dernière étape avant la commercialisation des produits, ce qui laisse entendre que l' Asus E600 sera bientôt lancé, au moins aux Etats-Unis. Les documents indiquent que c'est vraisemblablement l'opérateur AT&T ( opérateur GSM ) qui en aura la primeur tandis qu'un lancement européen reste aussi fort probable.


Bientôt commercialisé
D'après les images contenus dans les documents, l' Asus E600 disposerait d'un affichage 4"  en dessous duquel on trouve les trois touches spécifiques à Windows Phone 7 ( Retour, Home et Search ) et il embarque un APN 5 megapixels au dos, avec flash LED.

Il embarque une batterie 1300 mAh et sa coque profite d'une finition métal brossé. Sur les tranches, on note des touches de volume et un déclencheur pour l'appareil photo tandis qu'un port micro USB pour la recharge et la synchronisation est présent sur le côté et une prise casque 3,5 mm sur la tranche supérieure.

Enfin, le terminal devrait être compatible DLNA ( Digital Living Network Alliance ). On notera sur les images que le chargeur porte toujours la mention Garmin-Asus alors que les deux sociétés ont abandonné leur partenariat récemment. Sur le smartphone lui-même, c'est une mention " Designed by Asus " qui est présente au dos. Le smartphone Asus E600 était prévu à l'origine pour être disponible pour la fin de l'année 2010. Il pourrait déborder légèrement.

 

Ipad 4

30/10/2012 21:16 par slaytane

While we’ve got our hands full with iPad Mini speculations and Apple has just confirmed an event for its launch on October 23rd, Bob Freking is already thinking about the iPad 4. Not only thinking, but also doing, since he created a concept of the future generation Apple tablet, that you can see below.

Apple iPad 4 Designed by Bob Freking; Yes, Already!

The iPad 4 brings colored cases, borrowing from the flavours of new iPods, plus it keeps the 9.7 inch diagonal size and the widescreen Retina Display idea. It’s powered by the Apple A6 processor from the iPhone 5, making everything work faster and smoother. The cameras have also been upgraded and get the same flash as the iPhone 5 and better 13 megapixel optics. Another thing he improved was the thickness, since the iPad 3 was a bit bulky.

So, as you may have expected the jump in specs isn’t huge, the design is pretty much the same and I doubt Apple would change the design of the main iPad for the years to come. Now, the iPad Mini is an entirely different story, one that will be told starting next Tuesday. Any expectations for that? Buying the product?

Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE Review
Introduction:

While marquee names like Galaxy S and EVO dominate the mobile headlines, most users are not necessarily looking for the absolute latest and greatest in a phone. Shelling out $200 or more is also more than many people want to do, so the mid-range phone is born. Often lacking the sleekness and cutting-edge features of their flagship brethren, mid-range devices often go for the value play by offering good overall performance without doing anything great. Samsung’s Galaxy lineup is headlined by the S III and Note II, but there are many other phones in the family, the newest of which is Sprint’s Galaxy Victory 4G LTE. While the Galaxy Victory may not offer the same specs as the Galaxy S III, it still features a solid spec sheet. Can the Galaxy Victory 4G LTE find a place in Sprint’s lineup, and more importantly your pocket? Read on to find out.


Design:

With its silvery-gray housing, the Galaxy Victory 4G LTE has a fairly non-descript design but offers a unique twist on the Android navigation keys below the screen. In a day when most devices extend the glass to the bottom of the phone and incorporate capacitive keys into it, the Galaxy Victory places its keys on the plastic housing. With a chrome finish that almost looks etched into the device, the capacitive keys may be mistaken as physical buttons when you first glance at the phone.

You can compare the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

Otherwise the Galaxy Victory offers a standard layout, with the 4” WVGA display up front and a 5 megapixel camera around back. The Galaxy Victory gives us both an exposed memory card slot (though that ships empty) and a physical camera key, two features we wish all phones had. The Galaxy Victory is not the smallest phone around, and is noticeably larger than the competition.

Display:

The LCD display isn’t up to par with the beautiful Super AMOLED found on the Galaxy S III, but at 233 ppi it is no slouch either. In general it is easy on the eyes, though it can wash out in bright lighting.

Un nouveau smartphone Nokia Lumia sous Windows Phone 8 fait parler de lui.

Ce smartphone, c’est le modèle Lumia 810 qui sera disponible en sept coloris blanc, bleu, gris, jaune, rouge, noir et violet.

Affichant 145 grammes à la pesée et annonçant des dimensions 12,8 x 6,8 x 1,1 centimètre, il offre un écran AMOLED tactile 4,3 pouces en 800 x 480 pixels.

Sa fiche technique mentionne également une compatibilité avec les réseaux 2G / 3G / Wi-Fi, des interfaces Micro-USB / Bluetooth / mini-jack, un appareil photo 8 Mégapixels muni d'un autofocus et d'un double flash, une webcam 1,2 Mégapixel et un module GPS. Rien de précisé concernant la mémoire interne et sa possible extension.

L’introduction doit intervenir d’ici la fin de l’année et on parle, pour le moment, d’une exclusivité chez l’opérateur T-Mobile aux USA. Pas sûr qu’il vienne à débarquer chez nous un jour donc. D'autant plus qu'il est assez proche en termes de caractéristiques du Nokia Lumia 820 dévoilé en septembre. Il diffère en effet seulement au niveau du look ( vraiment lègèrement ), de la webcam ( 1,2 Mégapixel au lieu de 0,3 Mégapixel ) et de la prise en charge LTE / 4G ( pas de 4G ).

Tôt dans la matinée, le géant finlandais Nokia a officialisé deux nouveaux terminaux mobiles d’entrée de gamme tournant sous environnement S40.

 

Devant être introduits au cours du quatrième trimestre 2012, il s’agit des modèles Asha 308 et Asha 309.

Ce qui différencie les deux appareils, c’est la compatibilité 2G avec deux logements SIM pour le premier, alors que le second propose une comptabilité 2G avec un logement SIM mais dispose en plus du Wi-Fi.

Pour le reste, ce sont les mêmes terminaux avec un écran LCD capacitif 3 pouces en 400 x 320 pixels, un appareil photo numérique 2 Mégapixels, un lecteur multimédia, un tuner radio FM, une sortie mini-jack, une liaison Bluetooth 3.0, une connectique Micro-USB 2.0, une mémoire interne de 20 Mo et un slot MicroSD / MicroSDHC.

Ceux-ci partagent également une même batterie Lithium-Ion 1 110 mAh offrant une autonomie de 17 heures en communication.

Pas moyen d’avoir les prix en euros par contre…

We’ve just uncovered a relatively new BlackBerry PlayBook concept tablet, actually called PlayBook 3.0 and created by Crackberry user ummie4. We’re dealing here with a very original slate, a clamshell one, that also involves a keyboard, as shown in the image below.

BlackBerry PlayBook 3.0 Concept Tablet is a Clamshell with Keyboard

PlayBook 3.0 has dual screens and borrows the same keyboard styling as the one of the Bold 9900, according to the designer. You can hold the BlackBerry concept tablet with both hands and thumb type easily on it without pulling too much of a stretch. Dual trackpads are placed above the keyboard and the designer seems to think that trackpads are still useful, even on a device with two touchscreens. It’s all for the sake of gaming controls apparently. The PlayBook 3.0 will also feature a brushed stainless steel bezel, once again reminding me of the BlackBerry Bold 9900.

The focus of the product is REAL multitasking, available through those two screens. When closed, the device looks pretty much like a very fancy makeup kit, which may not be bad, since it adds a bit of fashion to the product. No idea what the diagonal of the product is, but something between 5 and 7 inch would fit it perfectly, don’t you think?

Created by Roni Margolin, the HiLo tablet actually brings up an original idea: how about a tablet pouch that also acts as a keyboard? The device is a 10 inch OLED slate that doesn’t bring anything unusual, while the wireless felt keyboard is the thing that interests me more.

HiLo Tablet Concept Involves a Felt Keyboard That Also Acts as a Pouch

This is more of a jacket than a pouch if you want, that comes with hot pressed circuitry in order to implement the QWERTY keys you see here. The thing is that hopefully this wireless keyboard won’t connect to devices while you walk on the street and accidentally type stuff on it. I guess that a simple On/Off button can solve that.

The tablet uses an aluminum and ABS plastic case, while the keyboard is all felt. The combo weighs 1 kg and the HiLo tablet measures 14mm in thickness, which is quite a lot. However, it’s the originality that impresses.

There’s something in the air and that’s fresh Apple product scent, meaning the iPad Mini. Rumored a lot, leaked a lot and almost here, the device just got a mockup created by a Gizmodo reader. Martin Hajek designed a beautiful iPad Mini mockup, that fits all the leaks so far. He included a Lightning port and some comparisons with the bigger iPad and iPhone.

iPad Mini Mockup by Martin Hajek Looks Fantastic

The device looks elegant and has some pretty rounded corners and two stereo speakers that should sound great. So, what we have here is a 7.85 inch tablet with Apple branding and anodized aluminum back in different colors, like the iPod Touch. It would be interesting to see brightly colored iPads this time around, differentiating them from the bigger main series models. The color choice would also help Apple sell more to people looking for playful colours, not only black or white.

The iSight camera is discretely integrated and if I were to speculate, I’d say this iPad Mini comes with a 5 megapixel camera, Apple A6 processor, Retina Display resolution, 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM and it will have a LTE version. iOS 6.0 is available from the get go, plus some new feature or app to lure customers into loving this gizmo more. Maybe a special game or special application for making music or e-reading? A special magazine-based service or social networking app? We’ll see… Till then, good job Martin!

Fujitsu Anderson is an innovative laptop concept, created by Ma Yiwei and Tao Ying and it’s also the receiver of the Judge’s Special Award in a Designboom competition. This challenge was organized together with Fujitsu and DA (design association Japan), for the “FUJITSU design award: a life with future computing”

Fujitsu Anderson Gets the Special Designboom Design Award

The Anderson is a portable computing device with a square shape and increased portability. Also, this Fujitsu concept has two operating modes: static and in-motion and also it’s got a 2 way hinge, changing the way you use it in landscape and portrait mode. When moving around it’s best that you use this netbook by holding it as an open book, just like in the image above.

This unit measures 17mm in thickness and its interface seems to be optimized, at least when it comes to audio playback. If I were to make an assumption, this laptop would make a great Chromebook…
