Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge could be banned from the American market

The delay put on the market by the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will certainly have consequences on overall sales, especially after the huge success of the iPhone 6 Plus., But now the South Korean company has to face another obstacle. According to a lawsuit filed by NVIDIA , Samsung Exynos processor, as well as some SoC products Qualcommm, infringe patents of a company specializing in graphics processors. If the allegations of NVIDIA proved true, the Galaxy Note 4 could risk not being sold in the United States.

After presenting the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 4 Edge at the IFA show in Berlin, the liberation of Samsung in the smartphone market seemed certain. But despite the two devices have been presented almost a week before the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the vast majority of potential buyers are still waiting for their arrival in stores.

A launch, so to speak, the less has already taken place in his native South Korea, but the notes 4 has yet to make his debut in the major world markets , and after a strong advertising campaign to promote the new phablet, the prosecution of NVIDIA could create serious problems for Samsung.

In the long list of devices that infringe its patents, NVIDIA has included, along with Note 4 and Note Edge, even Galaxy S5, S4 Galaxy, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note Pro and Galaxy Tab 2 In the case where were judged as guilty, for Samsung, the consequences could be disastrous .

Programming in iOS, how and where to start

To develop applications for iOS have to use Xcode , an  integrated development environment , also called  IDE  (acronym for Integrated Development Environment ), which means it is a computer program composed of a set of programming tools .

This IDE provides a graphical interface that is very useful for application development and includes new programming language Swift , launched by Apple this year.

Apple is touting Swift , but that does not mean you can not be programmed with other languages ​​such as Objective-C. The language you choose is up to you, here's a list of resources to guide you:

· Start Developing iOS Apps Today : This is the official guide for Apple to start programming, compression starts in Xcode and boots from the structure of your application, your implement and ends with the ascent to the App Store.

· Introducing Swift : The new language of Apple, it is much easier to use so if you are learning from scratch, maybe it's an excellent place to start learning.

· Apple's Development Videos : Apple has a compilation of videos from the WWDC in which parts of the development, teach tricks and resources worth moving to see some.

· Ray Wenderlich's Tutorials : If you want to make a game, Ray Wenderlich tutorials are the best starting point. You will have some understanding of Swift and Objective-C.

· Apple's API Capabilities : Apple has many different APIs to access iOS Extensions 8 including Touch ID, Photos, HealthKit, and others. Familiarize yourself with these APIs can raise the level of your application exponentially .

· Code School's iOS App Development class : You can access the basic development concepts for free through the introduction of classes this school.

· Stanford's iOS Development Classes : Stanford offers  free classes to learn iOS .Currently they are only available for iOS 7, but it is likely to take out an update for iOS in August soon.

Application Review Guide

Apple has a very specific vision of applications that will allow in the store , so it is useful to know the rules before you even start the application. If you do not, you can spend much time on an app that Apple will not allow in the App Store. These rules are in the  App Store Review Guidelines .

When you finish the application, you can send it to the App Store and will be heavily revised based on their content, design and technical details. It is therefore important to consider the Review Guide,  Review Guidelines . Apple also has a list of the most common reasons for rejection .

Just as there are specific guidelines in case you want to use any of the APIs, the most common are:

Design Guide

Apple wants all applications from your store have " consistency ", and while this does not have to mean a good design, it does mean that applications use the same basic elements in the user interface, which is detailed in the  Human Interface Guidelines . Here you will find what you require both application design and icon design .

To facilitate this process have a summary of what can and can not do to make it easier to start, you can see it in  Do's and Don'ts . Other resources are;

Testing

It is important to test the application and new eyes are always welcome, so it is important to use beta testers to put your app limit . In this scenario we have two interesting features:

· GitHub is indicated for software version control and collaborative work . Once you register with GitHub, it's easy to link your Xcode on it, so everything you do is stored there and is accessible on other equipment. If you need some help using his guides .

· TestFlight is an application that allows users to test your app , you only need to download and install  TestFlight .

Developing for iOS is familiar with Xcode , once you understand the operation can write your app in a lot of languages ​​or introduce you to Swift.

iTunes Store will receive a flat appearance to the arrival of Yosemite

Yosemite follow the steps marked by iOS 7 and brings the flat interface to Mac, hence thenew version of iTunes is the most minimalist we have seen to date. To get everything in line to the new design, Apple updated the iTunes Store appearance to give it that touch that is simplistic to characterize the company in recent years.

It is clear that this design may like more or less because we know that tastes there is nothing written, however, we are seeing not only Apple has registered the flat design is that there are already many companies that opt for something . Like it or not, the flat lookis here to stay and proof of this are the changes that will offer iTunes Store in the next few days and can see in the gallery below:

New photos of the iPad Air 2 confirm the processor A8X

In the absence of a few days to know what lies ahead the next generation of Apple tablets, the network still appear photographs of components iPad Air 2 . This time we set aside the aesthetics of the device and go directly to your motherboard that reveals a number of interesting details about your hardware.

As can be seen in Plate Air iPad 2 looks like the tablet will have a SoC Apple A8X , a vitamin version of Apple A8 found in the iPhone 6 and offer better performance, both in terms of CPU as level GPU.

The improvements in the CPU usually come conditioned by a greater frequency of the processor, making computing power increases slightly. For the GPU, the "X" versions of Apple chips typically provide a fairly strong performance as a result of the more pixels you have to move the iPad screen. Keep in mind that you are talking the possibility that the iPad Air 2 has Retina Display HD , therefore, there is even more reason to incorporate an even more powerful graphics if you want the gaming performance not see diminished by a increased screen resolution.

Memory RAM Air 2 iPad is not yet known anything but it still maintains the possibility of incorporating 2 GB, at least that would be the most sensible option if the jump occurs resolution is being discussed. If finally has HD Retina Display, Apple is likely to continue with 1 GB of RAM like the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

Another detail that reveals the motherboard Air iPad 2 is in its LTE version, the SIM tray is integrated into the board itself and not in a separate component as currently. Surely this measure has been taken to achieve that reduction of 0.5 mm versus Air iPad is now sold.

The second component of the iPad Air 2 filter is the cable flex I Touch D containing steel hoop capacitive sensing when we have your finger on the sensor surface. Remember that iOS 8.1 makes reference to an ID for iPad Touch so again, it is a leak with many possibilities become real on 16 October.

Finally, the filtration components Air iPad 2 ends up showing the volume buttons where we have no mute switch allowing the tablet or lock the screen rotation. Again, this is a decision that is motivated by the reduced thickness of the tablet.
