2013-01-31T19:47:00.000+01:00

While many users yesterday desperate hairs were pulled back by the sudden Play Google 's new Nexus 4 and almost immediate depletion, today we have news of an accessory that was announced with great fanfare when it introduced the new smartphone from Google .

Wireless Charger talked Orb for the Nexus 4 , we can find in some stores online that is listed at a price of $ 59.99 but, yes, out of stock .
We do not know when to start selling this accessory, but it appears that will not take long throw shooting in the market if we look at the news and at least we can get to know its price.

Nexus 4 white, can be seen

2013-01-31T19:44:00.001+01:00

Although the Nexus 4 is an article that everyone wants but few are fortunate to have one, not because we want to buy it is that will not let us get or put units are exhausted after 10 minutes.

Now if we only had two units for capacity doubling the number for the color theme. Apparently tinhte leaked a new color for the Nexus, soft color as we have seen the picture. Prices and availability are in the air, although we assume that prices should not differ from the version we currently. The configuration at Google's online store will make it available when deciding.

HTC preparing tablets from 7 to 12 inches for next year

2012-12-24T20:32:00.000+01:00

Although HTC seemed determined to withdraw from the market for tablets, only a couple of months have made lack for Taiwanese brand changed its opinion and put hands to work with a couple of models that will arrive next year. Both will take Windows RT and the peculiarities of these new teams, include the fact that of seven-inch will allow phone calls.

Although the convertible with Windows 8 and RT are going through a hard trance in its first months on sale, it seems that some manufacturers are seeking to move away from the hybrid concept to take the more conventional route in what regards to the tablets. I told you that Nokia have list a new tablet with Windows RT to be presented, perhaps in February, and now we know another important brand also prepares their artillery with this operating system. As pointed out by The Verge, HTC will present two 7- and 12-inch devices during 2013, probably in the second half of the year.

The Taiwanese company has no, on the other hand, planned to design any appliance for Windows 8, the most complete version of Microsoft'soperating system, by the high costs of manufacturing which would mean and that would lead to expensive product on sale to the public to turn it into a luxury item, as we are seeing today with so many and so many convertible. Both the 12 tablet 7 inch Qualcomm processors and the second flame will take care, in addition to being a potential competitor of Nexus 7, mini iPad and Kindle Fire HD, because through her phone calls, will be so sincerely, we no longer know if it will be a tablet with phone or a huge phablet.

It is also remarkable the fact that HTC would have announced his resignation to continue participating in the Tablet market just a couple of months ago still raw competition that was emerging with Google, Apple and Amazon to head the main motivating, as we believe. However, the mark that in the past would spearhead the Androidsystem, seems to have found a niche in which BREW is taking advantage of exploitation and enormous development which has by ahead software newcomer to the sector of mobile devices.

Leaked images of the new possible Nexus 7 low-cost

2012-12-24T16:57:00.000+01:00

We have almost a month picking up rumors and leaks about a new tablet low-cost Asus that, almost in complete safety, could become the Nexus 7 of 99 dollars on which there was speculation when the first news of new models with 3 G and more storage capacity began to arrive. A new confirmation that Asus prepares other 7-inch tablets and inferior to the leader by Google has now come in the form of images: these photos show us how they will.

Yesterday I showed some pictures that had appeared in Picasa and photographs that were allegedly made with the Asus ME172V, the name of the Tablet model low-cost of the Taiwanese that we had news for the first time in late November and that now would apparently be the new Nexus 7. Today the filtration of some pictures that show us your design, both in white and black, joined to the pile of evidence that we had about the existence of this tablet, which seems that definitely you would at CES in 2013, although they still do not clarify the doubts of whether finally appears as or not Nexusdevice. Some media considered the option that this can actually be a competitor for that anticipated Nexus 7 which would sell for $ 99 and speculate on a price that would be among the 120 and 150 dollars. The design, in any case, seems sufficiently akin to the Google tablet to think that it could be a new Member of the family.

Along with the photographs been to meet some of its specs, which come in general to confirm what we already knew. This model would have a display with a resolution of 1020 x 600, a front camera of 1.3 MP, a processor that seems to be somewhat lower than expected (less than 1 GHz, according to Android Authority) and a 1 GB of RAM. The main difference with the initial leaks is in storage capacity which, according to Engadget, would reach the 16 GB, versus the 8 GB that is attributed to him initially.

Bq Edison also with 3 G

2012-12-24T04:41:00.000+01:00

If ye have probed ever tablets low-cost market you have seen that, despite the fact that there are other technical specifications of good level that are increasingly more often, devices with 3 G connection in addition to Wi-Fi are not too frequent. If you are interested in having a tablet that gives you the option connect you independently that no available Wi-Fi networks, and fully enjoy the mobility that these computers allow, Bq Edison 3 G is probably one of the best options in this price range.

Already we present long ago this tablet, bq Edison, which is one of the best options that we can find in the no-frills sector Screen 10.1 inches, it has a good resolution (1280 x 800), and has a double core processor 1.6 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage capacity (expandable up to 32 GB via micro-SD card). All these features for a price of 200 euros, give a great value for money, difficult to match the low-cost sector, except perhaps by some of the devices of the range AinolNovo.

In principle, this tablet had only with Wi-Fi and only External 3 G, i.e., via modem, very often the only option with which you can count on tablets of this kind (and is not even an option that is always available). Now, however, we also have a model with internal 3 G connection, so I can be online whenever you need it.

As it is logical and as happens in all other tablets that have this option, there is a substantial price increase: the cost rises to 250 euros. However, is still very competitively priced when compared with the alternatives: we think that, for example, the option 3 G Nexus 7 (which also has fairly recently incorporated mobile connectivity) costs 300 euros and, although it has 32 GB of hard disk, the memory of the bq Edison can also increase up to that limit.

AppSales helps you find sales of games and applications in Google Play for your Android

2012-12-23T11:52:00.000+01:00

There are many specialist in Android sites that give information on applications for mobile or for reduced tablets. We have done and continue to do so occasionally when applications or games are relevant. This leads to be very attentive to Google Play, or in some cases to use little programs that seek those offers.
Well, because now everything will be much easier, especially for you, since there is an application that searches for which applications are on sale in Google Play: AppSales. Best Apps on Sales. The operation is simple. So default tells us which applications have recently undergone a reduction and classifies it for days. In that initial moment no filters, but you can adjust them on several criteria:
Minimum the discount percentage: we can configure that not us notification of applications whose price has not been reduced both percent concrete.Success of applications: we can indicate if there have been no more than a number of downloads does not inform us about that application.Categories of interest: is the ability to only receive notification of applications of categories that interest us within the Google Play 33 between apps and games.

In addition to these filters, we can see the rating of the title directly from your mailbox. Finally, we can make a watch list or Watch list to track the advance of certain applications in which prices refers. So you walk into the space of the application or specific game and click on the symbol of the Darling.

It also provides information on the history of the price of the application and let us share our contacts with those wonderful findings.

It is very useful to find discounts on applications and, best of all, is completely free. You can download AppSales in Google Play.

I only find a couple of things that do not convince me at all. It is only in English, something that does not affect me but maybe if other people. The operation is very simple and the words used also, so I don't see him as one major drawback. Another thing is that does not differentiate between applications for tablets and mobile, but also you can criticize you when you own Google Play does. In this regard, there is an app that recommends us applications optimized for tablets called Tablified Market.

2012-12-23T08:51:00.000+01:00

As you already know, especially those that you have one of your possessions, Asus Transformer Prime TF201 received in September, an update to 4.1 Android Jelly Bean. The new operating system had been terribly expected but there were some glitches or bugs. Well, because Asus is updating the software of the tablets right now to fix a few of them.

In fact, recently we informed you of an update of TF300 and TF700 Infinity that prepares them for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Sony Xperia Tablet S, a tablet with great quality price ratio

2012-12-23T04:18:00.000+01:00

Today we revisit with you Sony Xperia Tablet S for a reason. There are devices that pass through high moments and low moments, but that it is convenient to give a second thought. When Sony took out the evolution of its first tablet, this time including the Xperia range, much excitement arose. And it wasn't for less is a very complete team. Then he had a small problem of manufacturing and the Japanese company notice properly to their customers and did everything that was needed to fix it even though the defect caused some bad feeling despite settled fast and not affect too many users.

The other day, doing Christmas shopping went back to try for awhile this tablet and the truth is that he feels that it is a well done and different product. Soon I forgot that problem there was with its capacity anti splash, that thinking about it well others have not, and that was arranged with speed. Its design, with a magazine makes more comfortable when it is supported and even to hold it to have relief. In addition, the height you get with that crease helps sound exit.

What I like most is the services linked to the company and that's praise, that is, that their strengths are their differences. I speak of your own Sony applications and how they allow us interact with other devices of Japanese brand like TVs, stereos, Blu-ray. And it is that it has function of being remote control thanks to its sensor and infrared transmitter.

As for own contents, we speak of PSN and all its contents of music, video and, of course, video games. And it is that this tablet has, as it could not be otherwise, PlayStation Mobile certification that gives us free games and other payment and that will grow slowly because it is still a young service.

In terms of technical specifications, we are witnessing a tablet with good performance. It's like having a Nexus 7, with a little less definition screen but with all the expansion of storage and connectivity options. Also has two cameras being the rear 8 MPX and its autonomy is great, one of the best batteries on the market, arriving until 10 o'clock. Your next update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will make it much more desirable.

His starting price is 399 euros with 16 GB WiFi version and above to buy it give us 50 GB of lifetime in Box. In short, it is a great Tablet and we choose top storage options that reach up to 64 GB and we have 3 G connectivityoption. If you want to know more about its specifications, applications and capabilities visit this in-depth analysis we did.

ZTE Nubia Z5 confirms its potential and measured at the Galaxy Note II and HTC Deluxe phablets

2012-12-23T00:14:00.000+01:00

ZTE Nubia Z5 was presented yesterday in China. If we already knew that almost all technology products are manufactured in China, now we can also say that there are brands of the Asian giant that are gaining popularity and proposing models admirable and very convincing in terms of design. ZTE so far had been devoted to cheap products for mobile devices, but since yesterday it has in the market a high-end phablet that we had already heard about.

The Device is promised by the constant rumors we have been hearing. It has a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels , which gives a density of 440 ppiimage. In their guts leads a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core 1.5 GHz processor along with 2 GB of RAM to make move to OS Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It has two cameras: 2 Megapixel front and rear 13 MPX. To keep running you have a 2500 mAh battery.

Ultimately it is a real scandal and above has emerged in China at a price of 300 euros approximately. Brutal.

By its 5 inch screen has been considered rival for the iPhone 5 itself but also for the leading Galaxy Note II and HTC Deluxe phablets. Why you offered recently a comparison of the best phablets in which we include a mention to this model. That comparison is now tighter.

All week we have been talking about the Chinese company and its foray into this segment of mobile devices. Part of Nubia Z5 we have been talking about the premiere Grand S at CES Las Vegas next month in January and the launch makes a couple of days another phablet, but this if really low cut and expected, a low cost called ZTE U887price.

Final Fantasy IV for iPad is here, even if hinders it your price

2012-12-23T00:08:00.000+01:00

Final Fantasy IV has reached iPad finally and we can enjoy it on your touch screen from yesterday same. The classic title is one of the most important in the series of role-playing games that so many hours of our youth have been dedicated. This revival celebrates the centrality of this title that brought many ideas and new concepts to the RPG video games, in particular, and to the world of gaming in general.

Noteworthy in this regard version that failed to play in the past in other platforms are the 3D graphics and new funds in phases. In addition, you can compare here as you are leaving you in the game, your progress, with other players to be complemented with Game Center.

This title brought in 1991 to the gender of the role playing the battles in real time or Active Time Battle that here we also find. He also contributed to increase the abilities of characters as the story, something that now seems the most normal progressed. On this occasion, all the incentives that classic has already had kept but adapts experience graphically, with characters more vivid, more expressive, but with a history that is equal to the original for its quality. The map is new and improved and will help us enough. The controls become tactile. Also for more fans can listen to the music of the game at any time.

Something of what there is to talk about, no doubt, is its price. Final Fantasy IV costs 14.99 euros. It is a very high figure, and although there have already been titles with those prices before, to today is disproportionate. Other games or complex have opted for payment as the freemium, with shopping options in-app or directly to be realistic and see that the majority of games are worth 1.79 euros. A high price would have been understandable for anyone to be a high quality game and that would have been ruined the user experience with in-app purchases, but is somewhat expensive.

Need for Speed and Wild Blood for Android for less than 1 euro

2012-12-22T12:47:00.000+01:00

If racing games or the epic adventures (or both) you like today you have a couple of really interesting offers at your disposal. They are probably two of the best titles in its genre, and both EA and Gameloft have lowered their prices on the same day.Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Wild Blood are less than one euro for limited time in Google Play. The first can get by 91 cents and the second by 89. We are confident that many gamers may not to resist.

It seems that the proximity of Christmas is waking up the vein more generous for some developers, who are putting many of their most coveted titles at derisory prices, compared with the usual. A couple of days ago EA announcing discounts in several of its products star, including the FIFA 13, Mass Effect big win hockey, or Battlefield 2. Today, users of Android will be offset, in part, that two of the best games for this platform today have pointed out to the sales cart, so we can choose or even to download both.

The version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for mobile devices was released almost on par than PS3 and Xbox 360. Pro gamers will know well what is this title. For those who don't know yet what we will tell that Need for Speed is the very best if one wants to release adrenaline to base of "committing" illegalities. The goal, obviously, is winning races, but also, to the greatest extent possible, the attention of the police and become the "most searched" pilot. If we have an active account on the Origin platform we can load the data and check our stats and ranking relative to other players. Who them are not much the subject of cars, can instead enjoy one of the greatest epic adventures available for Android, and at a reasonable price. Wild Blood, one of the jewels of Gameloft is currently in Google Play by only 0.89 euros. The graphic quality of this title is the best that we can have by now in our hands in a phone or tablet, if not the best. The graphics engine Unreal offers spectacular battles real time of up to 8 players. In terms of history, it's Guide to Lancelot against King Arthur, the witch Morgana and all his hellish creatures. We leave the trailer so you can check that stripe Wild Blood.

If either of these two games you are interested in, we recommend that you give you hurry because we don't know how much can last bids. The rebate is on the occasion of the "blackout" dates in principle but you never know.

Nexus 10 vs iPad 4 which tablet is best to play?

2012-12-22T08:43:00.000+01:00

Nexus 10 and iPad 4 are probably the two most potent tablets of today. While the Exynos 5250 Google device processor is, in principle, more powerful than the iPad A6X , Apple Tablet seems to have an unsurpassed graphics processing capability. A video compares these two teams in terms of user experience when running titles like N.O.V.A. 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted or GTA III. We will analyse it in order to determine which of the two teams is the best to play.

In recent benchmarks that we show you, things between Nexus 10 and iPad 4 seemed to be fairly balanced. While CPU pure and simple the Google tablet marked 2761 points, that of Apple reached only 1767 points. However, to measure the GPU (graphics processing unit), the quality of iPad 4 engine highlighted above his opponent, 42 FPS against 21 FPS. We found a video that compares both teams into playing games, so that we can see for ourselves how these data are translated into actual experience.
The tester in question puts the brightness of both tablets the highest possible to view in detail the performance of each of them. We begin by comparing the N.O.V.A. 3game, and we see that iPad 4 loads faster, something that in itself is significant and a clear step forward from what we find then. While the resolution in 10 Nexus is greater, graphic effects, as we can see, are considerably more sophisticated on Applemachine, smoke and particles in the atmosphere create a different, richer environment. However, the tester just recognizing that this factor is not necessarily to make a team better than the other and can be given by the fact that N.O.V.A. 3 Android version is not as up to date.
In Need For Speed: Most Wanted, also see a more complete playback on your iPad. It is a matter of details, but between two computers so powerful, really are details that should make a difference. On the iPad 4 colors are more vivid, sparks that jump to touch the car with the barriers are even more numerous, reflections of moisture can be seen on the ground. Apple machine proves to be a real beast running games: Nexus-10 is a great team, but is a tad by back in this section.

GTA III we can neither draw a clear conclusion, since the graphical configuration of the game on iOS comes default and can not customize, we can even know what parameters are working. We can only confirm that the Nexus 10 resolution is higher than the iPhone 4, once again. By putting the game to function to the maximum of their capabilities, we see how the Google Tablet control is not as smooth as in the previous games, however, by lowering the resolution to 59%, everything looks almost the same and the handling is much better.

Another difference that we can highlight is the ratio of both screens, 16: 9 in the case of Nexus 10 and 4: 3, more square, in the case of iPad 4. Perhaps a matter of taste, but the perspective in the iPad seems more extensive and immersive. However, the tester believes that for other kinds of tasks such as navigation or playback of video, the panel of the Nexus is significantly better.

Xperia Diagnostics, the new application of Sony that is yet to come

2012-12-21T23:33:00.000+01:00

The European Patent Office has registered a new request from Sony called Xperia Diagnostics. As it is obvious, it is not a mobile device, but rather an application for devices with Android operating system which will be, almost with total probability, a diagnostic, assessment of the system function. However, it is still totally unknown by users and media, which makes us very difficult to know what it is.

Some media are pointing to it's a new version of the maintenance application for Xperia devices which is now available in the app store, and is used to analyze whether each one of the functions of the smartphone operates in the correct way. However, it seems unlikely that this is the case since it is not reasonable that an application that already have active requires a registry at the European Patent Office, unless you already have a service of others with the same name.

Even so, strange that Xperia Diagnostics deserves to be registered to carry out a simple function, and in the case of an application that would not be deeply discharged.

It might be a virus scanner, for example, that it would analyze the applications we have installed in the system and those containing malicious software that detects. That would fit much with vast quantities of data that suggest that Android has important security issues because of the viruses that are in the Google Play app store. In any case, it is possible that we will have new data on the application in the 2013 CES in Las Vegas or the Barcelona Mobile World Congress 2013. There will be if this record is the result of a mere formality or if really Sony is preparing something important.

Sony Xperia, this is the update schedule to Jelly Bean

2012-12-20T15:19:00.000+01:00

A few days ago that Sony announced that they would publish update schedule in the middle of this month of December to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on Xperia models in 2012. Now we have the aforementioned timetable, and we found some surprises, but in general, it was expected. From February 2013 will start to receive updates to the models, although some of them will have to wait longer. For its part, the most basic terminals not updated.

Apparently, it is the lack of stability that makes it impossible for Sony to upgrade the most basic models to the later version, Jelly Bean. Perhaps the thing would change if they not apply a layer so heavy on the system. Be that as it may, it seems that the Xperia U, the single Xperia, Xperia Miro and Xperia type, will not update, so it will stay at 4.0 Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

On the other hand, the first update will be the T Xperia, Xperia TX and Xperia V, who will receive their new firmware in February 2013. For later, in late March, they will have the new software the Xperia P, Go and J. The last to do so would be the Xperia S, SL Xperia, Xperia Ion, and the Xperia Acro S, which would make it sometime in April.

The surprise comes precisely in the latter case, because the expectation was that the Xperia S could update sometime before end of year, during the month of December. It seems that it will not be the case and that we should expect much more, about three months to be exact. This, added to that or a single device launched in 2011 will be updated, not leaves in very good stead to the Japanese company, which will have to do better with future smartphones updates.

Foxconn could produce up to 5 million phones from Amazon

2012-12-20T06:43:00.000+01:00

The rumors about a possible phone from Amazon are always there. And it is normal, it is the only step remaining to the online store to have full mobility worldwide coverage, since there are tablets and eReaders. Even, many were the media that had very clear in the presentation of Kindle Fire HD also be heading a terminal... but it wasn't.

The case is from late November comes speculating on the future arrival of the commented phone and, as we announced ourselves, everything done to indicate that, in the case of the manufacture of the device would it Foxconn, company that has in its portfolio of clients, for example, Apple. Therefore, they would not do experiments of any kind and would resort to a company with experience.

Today has been known thanks to Taiwan Economic News that everything points that it is real, that the phone will be a reality and that, indeed, Foxconn has won the contract to start with the manufacture and the first order is de anda less than 5 million units. The truth is that it is not a bad number, since if it follows the form of Act online store with Kindle Fire took place, in the first instance you will come to the U.S. market, then and as demand is known landing on other countries in a phased manner.

According to the same medium, the arrival is expected by the year 2013, has not indicated a more specific date (with the announcement of its new tablets?), but knowing the dates that other large handle for your events, Google I/O in May and Apple tends to present devices in June, a probable for stepped not "on" date would be July or August.

By the way, also it has been known that the amount that will cost each unit will be 100 or 200$... so it is possible that even come two models, one input range and another with far better specifications and you can mingle in the high range. The case is that rumors that suggest an arrival of a phone from Amazon, manufactured by Foxconn and that would be based on Android (with the usual modifications of this company) are becoming more insistent.

Sony Xperia E, launch scheduled for February 2013

2012-12-20T03:08:00.000+01:00

The Xperia E will be one of the most mobile purchased from 2013. Or at least, thats what looks like its price. It is the basic range of Sony to be launched in the coming year. It is likely that it can be acquired by zero euros through a contract with an operator, and that always attracts. The Japanese company has not given a definite date of launch for the terminal, but already there are stores that have placed on the calendar for the month of February 2013, a likely date given the circumstances.

Information about the release comes from Carphone Warehouse, Phone House British. Sony already had placed the launch in the first quarter of 2013, covering the months between January and April. However, it seems that the British seem to have details that allow them to assert that the device will be announced in February, and therefore on a catwalk where allow users to register to receive future Xperia Einformation, indicate that it will come in the second month of the year.

The truth is that release date fits, and it seems that in all likelihood it will comply. In Germany they are also starting to leak details of the smartphone. In the Central European country Xperia E cost 159 euros. And we already know that it is a European price in euros also affects us us, so that will be what it will cost us in Spain make us with a smartphone's basic range of the Japanese.

For its part, Sony still does not give more details of the launch date. However, the Barcelona Mobile World Congress 2013 is held in February. Usually it is an event in which we see many presentations. Everything seems to indicate that the Japanese could be thinking about present there its new line of smartphones. A ship logo as the Xperia Yuga, a medium range as the Xperia HuaShan and a basic range as the Xperia E would be a few presentations that would fit perfectly, although it remains to be seen what are still names end of each one of these smartphones.

Sony Yuga: new photos of this phone are filtered

2012-12-20T02:23:00.000+01:00

It is no longer a secret that Sony Yuga will hit the market, even, some sources suggest that it could be seen this phone at the CES show which is held in Las Vegas in January. Therefore, it is more than normal to already be start with serious leaks in this respect, as for example that has already passed the certification FCC as you commented in Android help.

But not only are the dates which are have been able to know since thanks to the Mobile Review website also some images have been posted on Internet. Therefore, your design is exposed, and this, confirms that terminals there are for there and that, unless the test, are manufactured. I.e. that CES as its possible presentation date is more than viable (and we must not forget that the last year in this event already some new terminals by the Japanese company could be seen).

Here's the first image, in which you can appreciate the cleaning of the front, despite tight quality, and curious power button that is in your right hand can also be see it.

The second image is in the rear camera view. Without going into its quality or in its specifications, it is remarkable the place where the flash is positioned. You will have to wait to check is its operation as such.

One of the features that have been confirmed to be Sony Yuga is its battery, which will have a capacity of 2,330 mAh, so it is ruled out that some reports indicated 3,000 mah.

The screen will also be 5 inches and everything points to compatible with Full HD (1080p), so it is already one of the competitors of HTC Butterfly. In addition, also indicated that that refers to connectivity is assured compatibility with GSM (850/900/1800/1900), 3 G bands 1/5/6/19 and 4 G LTE in the bands 1/19/21. Therefore, it is assumed that it will be available in all markets.

Nexus 4, Google throws balls out against LG

2012-12-19T16:00:00.000+01:00

Google is finally pronounced. Although it was not Google in general, but Dan Cobley, the boss of the company in United Kingdom and Ireland, therefore occupies a very important position. They have been in contact with all those buyers who still not have been able to receive his Nexus 4 by lack of stock, to apologize for what happened. Incidentally, they have blamed LG for some supply problems, and have toned the mea culpa when they have referred to the deficiency of the communication with users and the media.

13 November, Google threw to the market through its Play Store mobile device with best quality/price ratio that has never seen. Quad-core processor, high definition screen, the latest version of the Android operating system, and free by just 300 euros. Demand would be immense, and so was. So much, that they could not even endure it, both at technical level level distribution, since neither the store endured so much traffic, nor had the necessary units. It was known that it was going to happen, but what was not expected is that it would take both to be available for purchase again.

Recently I went back to be available in United Kingdom and Germany, and did not last long. They returned to arise some problems in high demand. But it seems that Google this time has learned to take action. Communication was essential, and has criticized them for not doing releases officers about what had happened with the Nexus 4, as well as for not giving more information to buyers. Why, Google UK has decided to get in touch with them to explain what happened.

Among other things, come to say that the "manufacturer supplies have been scarce and erratic", clearly referring to LG, which comes to indicate that it is likely that at the end they have met with agreed deadlines, something that is always to be expected in this type of situation. However, have also made an act of self-criticism by stating that "our communication has been poor". They wanted to show a "sincere apology" for the failures of communication and the way in which you have led the process.

At least have realized now of mistakes that have been made. However, does not seem the best start a statement blaming others for what happened, especially when you also have part of blame and are responsible for end of product. Buyers have to ask Google, accounts and don't mind actually why it had been delayed the sale of the same, this is a thing of Mountain View.

Sony Xperia 5 (V), 3 GB of RAM, 5 Exynos and 128 GB of memory

2012-12-19T11:09:00.000+01:00

It appears that Sony is preparing his pitches for the 2013 CES in Las Vegas. So far, we had heard about the Xperia Yuga, Odin and the HuaShan. However, it seems that in reality, there is one above all of them, and that it would take the name of Sony Xperia 5. Simply, this would be the best of the best. It would meet the best components on the market to launch a more high-end smartphone and so try to be above their competitors.

Undoubtedly, you have it very difficult in what processors is concerned, since a giant like Samsung is also dedicated to manufacture chips. It appears that Sony has thought that since you can not improve them, you use the same as them. Thus, the Xperia 5 would have an Exynos 5 of quad-core processor that would offer incredible performance. But the thing not would be there, since it would be accompanied by a 3 GB RAM memory, something that is not common in this time between mobile devices, only the largest it seems that they will opt to take a component of this level.

However, one of the features that is most striking is the its internal memory, that would be 128 GB. If you have a mobile phone with applications that suddenly closes and that gives you stability issues by its low internal memory, with this new device that is going to end forever. We could carry movies, music, and everything that we'd like.

And finally, best of all would be in its multimedia components, that is what Sony is dedicated, and are the screens and camera. The main camera brought a no less than 16-Megapixelsensor. Meanwhile, the screen would be five inches, and would have a resolution Full HD 1080p.

The launch of the Xperia 5 would occur sometime in the month of February of the next year 2013, at the well-known fair in Las Vegas, so you have to be very attentive. Sony could be in a dominant position in the market with the best device, if the details and launch date are confirmed.

Samsung continues to grow in the market for tablets. Low Apple

2012-12-19T02:40:00.000+01:00

All know how well that going to Samsung in the telephony market, since it has become the largest supplier of the market ahead of Nokia and, in addition, in different countries gain market shares which, if they are not the best, are the second and, therefore, are happy in Korea. Well, so it seems with the tablets numbers also are accompanying them.

According to a report by Korea Herald, the percentages of the Korean company are really good to December 2012, because that happened to be 18.1% market share worldwide (not bad if you consider that about the same time of last year the percentage was only 6.5%). I.e., that left behind poor results and statements in which it was assumed that it was not doing things "anything well in the market for tablets".

Obviously the great Dominator is still Apple with your iPad model... but their control is not so brutal as yesteryear. Last year the percentage that had this company was 59.7%, and even, in Q2 of this year the figure rose to 68.4%. Now, the percentage has dropped to 52.9%. Obviously it is a very important breakthrough, but the trend seems to be indicating that the distance is clipped (and nothing seems to indicate that this will change). In short, that there are party.

One of the reasons for this way of developing the market, apart from a better quality and innovation by Samsung (just have to look at the model Galaxy Note 10.1), is OS - always talking about the market of tablets.

Here, the trend is very clear that according to data from IDC, iOS maintains a share of 53.8%, whereas Android arrives at 42.7%. Here, obviously all models that use Google's operating system have in mind. But there's more, according to a study by ABI Research believes that the tables will be changed in the middle of the year 2013 and Android will be who dominates the market. Therefore, things are complicated for Cupertino, than surely that will try to react... but how?

The truth is that it is very complicated to know since a year to this part, the creativity of Apple seems that it is not the same, and even gives the impression that the innovation is now in the hands of Google and its partners. And the economic factor plays in favor of the development of Mountain View. Moreover, from Cupertino have released until three iPad models this year, and yet the trend has not changed... There are even, who says that the Mini model is doomed to failure. We'll see.

In short, everything does indicate that in regard to the operating system Android takes the lead and tends to this stabilizes. And if we talk about the distance between Apple and Samsung in the market of tablets (now of 34.8%), can this even lower since Nexus 10 is answering sales and, in addition, the Galaxy Tab and Note increasingly has greater acceptance.

All the Samsung Galaxy Note and other tablets have a hole in your security

2012-12-18T22:15:00.000+01:00

The owners of a phablet Samsung Galaxy Note I and II and Galaxy Note 10.1, Tab 7.0 Plus tablets, Tab 7.7 and other tablets that use 4412 and 4210 processors have taken this as bad news. It seems that appointed SoC Exynos four and two nuclei have a hole in your security that makes that they can be controlled from an external device if we instalásemos any application of that style. So many smartphones of the Korean company are also at risk, entrellos SII and the SIII. This claim to the guys at XDA-Developers, and said so, is really shocking.

One of its developers opened a thread in their forum, to which you can access through this link, and warned that he had been able to root a Samsung SIII without need to Flash it with Odin. What may seem at first a good thing, actually means that if you install an application capable of stealing your data or control your remote device, malignant, may enter on your computer in a much simpler way. The fault lies in the kernel.

Samsung has been informed of this problem and, although still has not acted in this regard, safe which is already working on a solution. This happens according to XDA for your software update that cover hole, but it might take to reach.

Meanwhile they themselves offer a solution in the form of application type patch. Its design is due to one of the most prestigious members of the community of developers, Chainfire, which you can download at the following link.

There is another option to alleviate the issue until an official solution that gives us the Project Voodoo people and that doesn't require root and is also reversible. You can get it on this link to a post on its website.

We recommend you read well the information of the two links that we have recommended, since it is possible that you change until you read this. We would also like to warn you that this is not an official solution and that you assume the responsibility of what can pass you to your computer.

Another option is to do nothing until the upgrade and try not to install applications from sources unknown meanwhile.

Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean for Transformer Infinity with XDA-Developers ROM

2012-12-18T18:11:00.000+01:00

Users of tablet hybrid Asus Trasnformer Infinity were expecting an update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for these dates more or less. The Taiwanese company has been delayed and the impatience has led to some and in XDA-Developers have already created a ROM for take this latest version of the Android operating system to this model so powerful.

Asustek Tablet has always been considered as one of the best in the market and was for a long time the best in Android. After many months out, only Nexus 10 and Galaxy Note 10.1 have approached him and play in the same League. It is normal that when Google launched its new operating system is expecting that it soon led to this machine to take every possible advantage, and more taking into account that Asus was the Nexus 7. In addition, to top it off, your recent update to 4.1 system was considered only a prelude to incorporate 4.2.

This has not happened and the friends of XDA-Developers have taken the lead as, on the other hand, they always seem to do. One of its members Senior, nycbjr, has created a ROM of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean that brings almost all of the details that we find in the official but with some glitches with the camera and GPS. But the GSL graphics, Bluetooth, sound, SD slot, WiFi, and screen rotation work.

If you want to see how it is development that is still in process and open to receive feedback, you can follow the development of the subject in the XDA Forum and from there same even download and try.

As always, if you're not an expert on manual updates and know how to solve problems, is better to wait to a more stable version of the ROM or directly that you abstengas try. For the piratones, however, sure that's a good news and we invite you to us tell your experience with nycbjr software.
