Rumor: Apple plans to launch in the summer of iRadio

Apple will present this year not only new hardware, but also in terms of software is showing something new. In the past, many a time over a music streaming service has been speculation that could now be introduced into the final phase.

Difficult negotiations with rights holders have so far prevented the launch of the "iRadio" and led to a shift in planning. Having been the first graphics were discovered in the depths of iOS 6.1 and also to introduce rumors became increasingly clear that colleagues have The Verge brought new information on the subject in experience. One report says the U.S. news page about significant progress in the negotiations. Apple should have come with Universal and Warner do business and thus could win two of the most important labels for themselves.

Apple to bring the service back in the summer to start and of course reveal the whole thing for the first time at WWDC. With this move, the company would expand the ecosystem and to offer an alternative to Spotify and more.

iPhone 6: Patent illustrates curved display

Nor is the iPhone 6 is not known to have appeared and for the official presentation, we will certainly also have to be patient. Nevertheless, accumulating in recent times always the rumors that might reveal the technical details of the flagship. Above all it puts the screen into focus, which could turn increased with this next generation. Now the part of the USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) for a patent has been presented which in this area is probably unique. Because we are talking about a screen that not only represents the front, but the iPhone 6 is also enclosed on the back.

With new innovation in the future?

The new patent, the company from Cupertino shows that they want to invest, especially in the future, in order to score with innovative. While such displays have been around for some time in conversation, but a screen that not only surrounds the front, but the back is certainly an innovation in this sector represents Thus content in almost any area of the iPhone 6 will be representing even on the edge. This result, of course at the same time new possibilities to work with content, and this to be arranged.

New display also offers the iWatch

However, not only the iPhone 6 or the next generation of smartphones is associated with the patent, but also the iWatch, which is expected this year. Thus could also watch the company from Cupertino will be equipped with the curved display. However, this information is still much in the future because ultimately only the relevant patent was registered. To what extent we will see the display in this form in use, of course, still remains questionable. The subject matter is exciting but certainly all.

HTC One: Update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean until the 2nd quarter

With the presentation of the Taiwanese company HTC One is known to have created a flagship that can play in almost all areas convincing work. For both the design and the technical components speak for the high-end smartphone. The probability is given that HTC hereby lands a relatively big coup and market share expanding again towards the top. However, the terminal cannot score points in all areas clearly, especially in relation to the software. Because currently, the Taiwanese manufacturer uses Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the rollout of Android 4.2 has not yet begun at last.

Update in one to two months

It is of course clear that the HTC One among the flagships donated an update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean will get. The ever-popular question, however, when this time will arrive and whether this is already happening in the foreseeable future. In this context, the well-known expert named LlabTooFeR on Twitter spoken out and revealed valuable information to the public. Thus it is said that the HTC One would only supplied in one to two months with the appropriate version of Android. Thus, the update will be released before the second quarter of this year, when it comes to the specialist.

@ rage06 It will get update in 1-2 months ...

- LlabTooFeR (@ LlabTooFeR) 21st March 2013

Not yet confirmed Android 4.2.2

The information was provided by HTC not officially confirmed, but it is expected that the expert is not alleged rumors on the world. Because in the past this has often been asked the relatively easy access to the manufacturer for review. If, however, the Taiwanese company at the end but it should not create to release the update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, this would compare to the competition not a positive sign. Finally, example is the Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with the Android iteration and said it would benefit the South Korean company a godsend. Thus, HTC must allow at this point no big mistakes.

PlayStation 4: Sony reveals new details about the controller:

As we already know, Sony has taken the opportunity in February to announce the PlayStation 4 to the public. The surprising finding of the presentation has been well aware that the console was not even presented. Rather, the event to the controller around, and the features in the software and games has been established. Sony has thus still a little overcast and the actual show would be postponed by a few months back. Currently, however, the Japanese company has taken the opportunity to showcase the new controller in some detail.

Dualshock 4 with significant renewals

In this context, namely Sony has on the famous Game Developer Conference in San Francisco also made ​​the appropriate controller of future PlayStation 4 on display. See also solid information being compromised, which was expected, certainly, but also are now decrypted by officials from concrete. Do we have it here now with a controller that is called the DualShock 4 and finally is also the successor to DualShock third Compared to the previous generations Sony goes in this model significant steps forward and is in specific locations on appropriate renewals. The basic pattern is maintained while still continue, but the differences can be recorded clearly.

Touchpad & Share button

The left side of the controller is naturally still dominated by the familiar + Control Pad and the right side still contains the four known keys of the previous generations. Conspicuous but are now the analog sticks in the middle, which are now concave and thus allow a firmer grip. Between these sticks is the small guide button and this is now a new type of touchpad, which will be in the future, certainly used for many purposes. Finally, this also allows multi-touch gestures and should already publish on the PlayStation Vita to be known. At the top there are the shoulder buttons and in between lies the so-called Share button. This may be acting in the social networks to share certain content as desired. The controller itself is also equipped with a 3-way acceleration sensor as well as a 3-way-gyroscope.

Presentation of the PlayStation 4 at E3

While it is interesting to see how well the new DualShock4 controller is established, but of course we are interested in the console itself is currently not known when Sony will start with the idea, but it is assumed that in at E3 Los Angeles will be ready. Until then we have to be patient.

HTC One: Your smartphone is impossible to repair

One is the HTC Android smartphone more enjoyable to watch at all. This privilege, however, you pay heavily, at least as evidenced by recent statements of iFixit. The new flagship of HTC is the first smartphone to total as close to 1/10 with regard to the simplicity of the repairs.

If you are going to get a HTC One, you'd better protect it to the best of your ability. The popular site iFixit gave the vote of 1/10 with regard to the ease of the hypothetical repairs, consequential damages are not covered by warranty.

HTC One is a terminal aesthetically beautiful, with the best materials available on the square with a unibody aluminum case. Faced with particularly pleasing aesthetics however, the internal components have been installed with confusion. Moreover, it seems to be very difficult to disassemble the device without causing irreparable damage to the back case.

The most obvious problem is the fact that if you need to replace the display (whichever is more prone to break after a fall) you will need to remove the back case. In practice it is impossible for an inexperienced staff can perform the operation in its entirety without cause even more damage irreparable.

HTC has then used a kind of copper plate to better dissipate the heat produced by the internal electronic components. This seems extremely difficult to reinsert the device during reassembly, to the folds that are formed inevitably.

In short, if you are used to repair your device with your hands to save some money, HTC One is not for you. IPhone 5 in the past has been considered as one of the most difficult to repair in absolute scoring, however, a score of 7/10, well above the rating of 1/10 for the proposal of HTC.

We end users we see the next iteration of the smartphone of Cupertino only in July, during which will be released in stores.

The next iPhone will recharge in half the time with the new chip from Texas Instruments?

Texas Instruments has developed a number of chips that can recharge the batteries of our devices in half the time than is currently the case. These are designed to be inserted into both smartphones to tablets, but also LTE portable router, speakers, Wi-Fi and more.

Technological change does not go only by the SoC, or the computational power of future devices, but also the small details that dramatically improve the user experience of our devices. In fact, if it is true that iPhone has a battery much less bulky than the competition, it can take 80% of the charge in times much shorter than those required for the competition.

The situation might improve with the new BQ2419x, the new chip from Texas Instruments based on impedance compensation. The system, called "battery impedance path compensation system", allows you to load the individual cells of a lithium battery in half the time than required by current technologies.

This can be used within a wide range of different devices, going to improve an industry that is seeing clear improvements in recent years, that of lithium batteries, especially with regard to the density and general safety.

The new chip has an efficiency of 92%, within a space of only 4x4mm, a result that more commendable!

How will the iWatch Samsung? See it in a satirical drawings!

Samsung has already announced that it is working on a smart-watch, which probably will have a display of 500 × 500 pixels. You do not know details about its aesthetic appearance, but we thought the website The Dog House Diaries to provide a possible example of Samsung design. Article found in the image!

If Apple did a smart-watch called iWatch, six months after Samsung propose a device like what you see in the image later, probably called Samsung Swatch Notes III, equipped with a display vastly more massive than the Apple counterpart! This is what we can see in the new cartoon The Dog House Diaries , published just below.

It seems obvious that the pun is obvious in relation to the design of the Samsung of the past, incorporating the aesthetic forms of competitive proposals to provide solutions quite similar in most large enclosures with display significantly larger.

Besides, Samsung has already admitted to be working on a prototype of a smart-watch, identified as one of the projects that the South Korean giant will be completed in the near future. Inside the competitions we have, in addition to Apple with its possible iWatch, Google and LG, with personal proposals in the field.

Appeared on the Internet the first photos of Motorola X Phone!

Have appeared on the internet the first pictures of the new smartphone Motorola Phone X, a model that should be particularly innovative, especially since the first one has a customizable hardware. The photo shows the back of the device.

There are lots of online rumor about the new top of the line Motorola, many of which were published only in the last month. Some report that X Phone will have a customizable hardware , others that could be launched in November, and others that will be presented in May at Google I / O , to explain the cooperation between Motorola and the Mountain View giant.

The site Android Authority had interviewed a source inside the company that announced some new features and the terminal shown in the picture, at least in his own back. The commercialization is expected in July, with one month delay because of some problems in the production phase. The launch will initially only online, while only reach the stores in the fall.

The smartphone will be customizable, but only from the point of view of design. From a strictly hardware can only change the amount of internal memory, while from the point of view of the technical specifications the terminal will be available in a single variant. The shell instead, may be chosen according to 3 different materials (with a cost probably different), including plastic, metal and carbon fiber.

The user can also customize many aspects of the software, even if they were given additional information. According to the source the smartphone will probably be a worthy opponent of proposals such as the wildly popular Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S (or 6).

The Paradoxes of technology: Google dominates in the App Store, but not on Google Play

Unlike Apple's closed towards other platforms, Google earns more on services and hardware sold. That is why it offers its app on all operating systems, seeking to maximize the quality and my earnings by the same.

According to the latest market analysis conducted by App Annie, Google has surpassed Apple as the largest developer in the App Store, winning the first position of the virtual market both in January and in February. For Apple it is only the second position, although he still enjoys the largest gains.

Unlike Google, which offers only free applications, many of the app from Apple are paid, some at very high proportion of the average store. The most downloaded applications are Google Maps and YouTube, despite the efforts made ​​by Apple with iOS 6 to drag their users to native services introduced with the latest release of operating system, results in the end not to the levels of the proposed Mountain View.

Nevertheless, the Play Store is not the same Google to dominate with Facebook occupying the top positions of the ranking. The only four applications of Zuckerberg have been discharged several times compared to the 62 Google that are located inside the main virtual store for Android. Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram cover the first three positions of the "Top 5".

Already 10 million pre-orders for the Galaxy S4, will be a smaller version and economic

Galaxy S4 will be a success announced. As well as Apple, Samsung has managed to create around a large group of followers that follow, almost blindly, all the new products released by the company. The new top of the line South Korean has already signed a record relating to terminal Android, about 10 million pre-orders. It will be also a version "Mini", smaller and cheaper.

Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy S4 on 14 March, the terminal will not be sold on May 1. However, the estimated number of pre-orders have already made ​​more than positive for the South Korean giant: it speaks, in fact, about 10 million pre-orders already made, one more than accounted for by his predecessor in the same amount of time.

In comparison, the iPhone 5 has had more than 5 million pre-orders in the first three days, but there is no doubt that in both cases the numbers are exceptionally high, exceeding the sales of the production of competition in a whole year!

Meanwhile, as for its predecessor, Samsung has planned other two terminals of the series, including the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 (which will have a display from 5.9 to 6.3 ") and a S4 Galaxy Mini, cheaper and small compared to the other two solutions.

Apple will soon launch a controller to play games with iPhone and iPad? [Updated]

PocketGamer claims that Apple will enter the market soon on its own controller, similar to a real joypad, we can play with the numerous titles available in the App Store for iOS devices.

Apple, during the Game Developers Conference, he would talk to some developers about the upcoming release of an iOS game controller. The rumors about this alleged joypad for iOS popped up a year ago, but now the Cupertino Company has not yet issued statements in this regard.

During the conference would be held the meeting of Apple, registered under the name of a fictitious company to avoid attracting the attention of the media. Apple could officially announce his plans at an event in April, the month in which in recent years has turned the spotlight on new versions of iPad.

The meat on the fire is great. First there was talk of iTV and iWatch, now it turns out this new accessory designed to encourage gaming on the iOS platform. While there are those who say they do not expect anything new June 1, we just have to wait for official news and be pleasantly surprised by Apple.

UPDATE: Jim Dalrymple of Loopinsight denies the rumor without adding further details. Who will prevail?

The Apple iPhone 5S is the WWDC 20 June will be presented

Once the competition has revealed its flagship for this year, the company from Cupertino is your turn to play off his cards. In recent times, it is increasingly reported that the iPhone 5S will be presented at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. Now throw the Japanese journal MacFan an exact date in the round. The 20th June.

The report shows that the next-generation iPhone in July, and the iPhone "mini" will be on the market in August. Apple would change with this step, the release cycle again and bring out a little earlier than last year, the smartphone. This information is based to a large extent the recent speculation, but on closer inspection contain one or other discrepancies.

Such an early idea of ​​the unit would be very unusual for Apple. Normally at WWDC, a first look at the next OS iteration, ie shown this time iOS 7. Then begins a month-long beta phase, which is celebrated in the end with the presentation of matching iPhones. In view of this fact would have to Apple iPhone with iOS 6.x 5S on the market. This compromise Californians certainly a no go.

Otherwise, there is already a period that comes through a gap in the schedule of the Moscone Center, on the short list. The 10th to 14 June is still free and could theoretically have been posted by Apple. All in all I stage 20 June as a rather unrealistic one.

Display comparison: iPhone 5 on Galaxy S4, Xperia Z, One, Galaxy S3, Lumia 920. Best IPS LCD or OLED?

People complain about the screen size of the iPhone 5, that is not based on an OLED panel and many other qualities that theoretically would lack the proposal to Apple. But let's see how does the direct comparison with the giants in the industry. Is it really that low?

The site PhoneArena gives us a nice comparison test between the screens of terminals in vogue at the time, comparing them on so many factors that determine the overall quality of display. How does iPhone 5 than the competition?
We know that Apple iPhone 5, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Nokia Lumia 920 has IPS LCD panels, as opposed to the proposals for Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 are based on Super AMOLED technology. This ensures deep blacks, but fails to offer a full range of grays, as well as offering shade too cold, especially in the most extreme viewing angles.
BRIGHTNESS AND VISIBILITY
From the point of view of the brightness and visibility, the proposals with the best results are given by the LCD panels, extremely brighter than those OLED. The advantages of the first evident especially in extreme lighting conditions (outdoors in direct sunlight) when S3 and S4 do not seem to offer the same readability of the content. However, the latter provides better results than its predecessor. Furthermore, the products of Samsung can not lower the brightness over a certain threshold, becoming a bit 'annoying in the dark.
The winner in this field is iPhone 5.

ANGLE OF VIEW
All smartphones have shown excellent results from this point of view. PhoneArena reports only the Xperia Z where the contrast and brightness degrades rapidly once bend the terminal before our eyes. In ascending order in the ranking we have then the two Galaxy S with evidence that tend to cool shades once they bend slightly. Contrast and brightness are good.
As usual, the LCD panels of other solutions are best in these circumstances, with the HTC One and iPhone 5 which behave in an exemplary manner. Lumia 920 has to be similar to the Xperia Z.
The winners are iPhone 5 and HTC One.

RESOLUTION
This is a totally objective. There is no doubt - according to PhoneArena - that the new terminals that have 400 PPI (pixels per inch) and most have something more than iPhone 5, Lumia 920 and Galaxy S3, which respectively 326, 332 and 306 PPI. The results of the latter are considerable and it is impossible to see the pixels except at extremely small distances. But what they fail to make new panels S4 Galaxy, HTC Z One and Xperia pushes the bar even higher to a point, hiding completely the matrix of PenTile AMOLED S4.
The winner of this category is HTC One, with an LCD screen FullHD 468 PPI that no PenTile matrix offers a perfect viewing, as you can see from the picture below.

REPRODUCTION OF COLORS
The best colors are offered by LCD display, iPhone 5 and HTC One in the head. Their color fidelity is exemplary. Lumia 920 offers good results, even if the colors are not as lively as the proposals mentioned above. Xperia Z offers a high fidelity, but that goes to degrade significantly if we change even slightly viewing angles.
The AMOLED has improved considerably in recent years, but still - according to PhoneArena - did not reach the levels of the proposals based on IPS LCD. The direction taken is the right one, but still have images that are extremely prone to cold colors. Despite all Galaxy S3 is much more "tending to cyan" compared to the new model, a sign that Samsung is making the right choices of evolution.
The winners are iPhone 5 and HTC One.

CONCLUSIONS
According to PhoneArena, the terminals that offer the best overall image quality are iPhone 5 and HTC One and this seems to have no doubts. However, the progress that is making Samsung the evolution of its OLED panels are obvious. S4 The display is a clear trend compared to that present on S3, but there is still a long way to go before the results offered LCD technology, a lot more mature.

Sources close to Foxconn claim that iPhone 5S will arrive in June

very often the rumor about the release of a new product from the manufacturers of accessories are not very reliable because they themselves are organized according to what transpires from other sources. A Chinese company, however, would seem to be more reliable than others because it has the privilege of having a direct line to Foxconn, the company that assembles iPhones.

Many rumors say that the next iPhone will follow the roadmap laid out by Apple itself in recent years, which will be launched approximately 12 months after the submission of the previous model.

A Chinese company in Shenzhen, which is in direct contact with Foxconn, but he maintains that this year the timing will advance and that we will see the next iPhone as early as June.

The company has sparked the rumor during the presentation of its new line of accessories, arguing that by working with Foxconn, the company has been able to obtain detailed information on the iPhone 5S.

We're a bit 'skeptical of this news because in the past similar rumors proved to be completely wrong then. The company said that cooperation with Foxconn, but not received any confirmation (or denial) by the latter. The only thing we can do is wait, the only thing certain is that by the autumn we will have a new iPhone.
