Play the Google topped 700,000 apps

Last week, Apple announced that the App Store had passed the 700,000 apps available for iOS device users. Google does not rely on a leash and responds a week later so loud: the Google Play also comes to exceed the 700,000 apps downloaded by Android users.

In the area of mobility, the hardware plays a crucial role. In this game, Google has placed several skirmishes with rival Apple in particular, yesterday revealing serious competitors to the iPhone 5 with the Nexus 4 , with the iPad with the fourth generation Nexus 10 and iPad Mini by expanding its range Nexus 7 (model 32GB, 32GB 3G model and updating prices) . Hardware which can support mobile OS richer, efficient and innovative: this other game, Google Android 4.2 unsheathed yesterday (available first on the Nexus 4 and 10) which provides multi-user account, a quick setup menu accessible from the notifications panel and "Photo Sphere" which allows you to take 360 degree pictures and share them on Google+ but Google Maps. Google responds to Apple released a 240-degree panning with iOS 6. This is the application that Apple plans is scratched in passing (since it has no views).

Microsoft is the third player (until perhaps RIM BlackBerry OS and 10) now playing in the big leagues with Windows Phone 8. The Redmond company is doing everything to attract developers and to offer the famous "killer apps." For the third cornerstone of a mobile ecosystem is well in its apps store. Apple has long used its advantage in the field to attract users with marketing muscle. This is no longer an argument against Android.

Apple will always mean by saying that its apps store is more profitable than Google Play. Its 700,000 apps translate into more sales better able to compensate developers. Thus, since the creation of the App Store in 2008, 6.5 billion have been distributed to developers. But Google is based on a different model to monetize the Google Play: advertising often allows users to enjoy the same free apps than iOS users. The advertising revenues provide compensation developers.

According to his words, a thousand planes would be ready to launch Windows 8.

Graceful termination market share?

However, this discourse may be subject to change over time, either because of the need for a smaller size or the need to provide new equipment at discounted prices. This would encourage consumers to integrate tablets into their daily lives.

If this choice tends to confirm why he graciously let Microsoft market share to its competitors? The battle is already fierce in the tablet market, Windows scrounge hope PDM on the shelves of large format.

The real change will come with Google's finally an aggressive pricing policy and an operating system matures to finally open the market to competition in the absence of directly opposing the iPad.

Indeed, the various iPad killer were all eventually face the supremacy of the Cupertino company in the area and it is finally choosing a different angle than the competition ended drill: size. Democratizing 7 inch format, it is a new market that brands have developed, especially a snook at Apple refused to release a tablet in this format before changing his mind with the iPad Mini . It is the latter which is in the viewfinder that Amazon announced on its website U.S.  a comparison between the iPad Mini and Kindle Fire HD running obviously to the advantage of the latter.

The e-commerce giant uses a short slogan but has the merit of being clear "  Much more for much less  "before insisting on a few things to the advantage of the tablet as the definition of the screen (30% more than the iPad Mini), the density of pixels per inch (216 pixels per inch Kindle Fire HD against 163 for the Apple tablet) but also HD video playback and two stereo speakers (one for iPad Mini) and a faster WiFi (MIMO).

Amazon does not hesitate to take a direct competitor before insisting on the strengths of its tablet, the $ 199 against $ 329 for the Apple tablet. Practice not really surprising since Apple, via Phil Schiller, had also chosen to compare its new tablet than a direct competitor namely Google Nexus 7.

Apple's new iMac ultra efficient and super fine

The iMac has made ​​a very noticeable entry in this keynote. The Mini iPad was not the only product offered. Apple surprises so with this "desktop in its most advanced form."

Since its launch in 1998, the iMac has really changed. Today, the screen is so thin that it is difficult to imagine that his ancestor looked like a huge block. Edges appear 5 mm, the iMac has been reduced by 40% compared to the previous generation. To do this, Apple has made ​​engineering feats including inventing new technologies. The computer is much thinner, but the screen (21.5 to 27 inches) has lost nothing of its beauty and performance. Level measures, the reduction is also visible as the LCD (IPS) is 5 mm thinner. Apple also removed 2 mm between the glass and the LCD using the method "Lamination total." The latter offers a real advantage since the user has 75% less glare.

The iMac therefore offers unsurpassed performance. However, it is more energy efficient with 50% less when idle with the screen on. Careful to respect the environment, the computer is free of many toxic substances (arsenic, mercury ...). The iMac is made ​​of glass and aluminum. A brand new storage option is offered "Fusion Drive". The new iMac proposes to associate a high capacity hard drive with a high-performance flash storage.

All performances are boosted with the latest Intel Quad Core i5 2.7 GHz clocked at 3.2 GHz. Consumers also have the ability to customize the power with an Intel Core i7 processor running at up to 3.4 GHz. The prices range between 1349 and 2049 euros.

Features:

8GB Memory
Hard Drive 1TB (5400-7200 rev / min)

5 thoughts about the iPad mini

The iPad mini has been officially announced last night during an Oct. 23 keynote Apple during which many other novelties were presented.

As a preamble, a reminder of the main features of the iPad mini , which are those of the iPad 2, smaller:

Multipoint touch screen tablet 7.9 inches
Resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels at 163 pixels per inch (ppi)
Height: 200 mm
Width: 134.7 mm
Thickness: 7.2 mm
Weight: 308 g (note that the Google Nexus 7-Asus weighs 340 g and already seems incredibly light in hand)
A5 processor bicœu
Lightnin connector
Mini-jack 3.5 mm stereo headphone
Built-in speaker
Microphone
Three-axis gyroscope
Accelerometer
Ambient light sensor
Wi-Fi
Digital compass

The iPad mini will be available from November 2 and November WiFi version version "cellular" 3/4G. Note that the 4G versions will not be compatible with the 4G, crowing.

This ad - long awaited and long - some remarks, born over rumors that fueled the headlines over the last few months.

1. The iPad mini is the first real product after Steve Jobs.

I already know that some of you will fit in against this false claim, arguing that the creation cycle of a product is at least two years while Jobs has handed (and the rest) it only a year ago. But facts are stubborn and unrelenting: in October 2010, six months after the release of the first iPad, Steve Jobs had publicly declared a 7-inch iPad made ​​absolutely no sense. Any visionary he was, the guru had for once deceived, and the pragmatism of the team who succeeded him took precedence over the incantations: the tablet market completely dominated by Apple and even stifled the iPad on 10-inch thrives on unexpected segment, where Cupertino was absent mini-tablet 7 inch format (for which I argued since the beginning). If Apple does not want to be cannibalizing the bottom, it was time to react. It's done. Now that Jobs is gone, his successors had the elbow and could contradict oracle Chef. It is therefore the first product of the post-Job, or at least a product that would probably never be released under his reign. You me retort that mini iPad is 7.9 and that Jobs talked about 7 inches, and that therefore he was right. What you're bad faith sometimes

2. The iPad mini is expensive. Too expensive?

339 euros, or 329 dollars in the U.S. for the entry-level model, namely a 16GB WiFi 3G/4G connectivity without therefore, it is indeed expensive. Especially if we compare it to the price of its current direct competitor, the Google Nexus tablet 7, which costs 249 euros in the same configuration, which must deduct 25 euros more vouchers credited to the Play Store Google to download movies, applications, games and books. However, this is not so much for an Apple product. Firstly, the difference in finish compared to the Nexus 7 is taken as the first hand striking. The brushed aluminum shell of the tablet from Apple has proven, and is a range above the competition back features a molded plastic anti-slip practice but less flattering. The style and design against the functionality. On the other hand, the screen of 7.9 inches has a surface of 35% higher than the Nexus, a virtually identical external dimensions, and a much lower weight (308 g against 340 g for Nexus 7). Finally, another argument in favor of the iPad and can justify a higher rate: the 275,000 apps available, and thoughts developed specifically for the iPad. A strong point when we know that many apps available on Android that adaptations are sometimes very risky versions for smartphones, and even when they are compatible. I know something since I use my Nexus 7 daily for 2 months now and if 95% replaced my iPad, it does not go a day without my app against a plague poorly designed, buggy or just unusable, which NEVER happens on iOS. And I'm not talking about apps that do not yet exist for this format (Jellybean 7 inches), and not least (and generally all MyTF1 media apps, or Flipboard, still conspicuously absent by 10 inches).

Of course, like all observers and users, I would have hoped for a first prize of iPad mini 249 or 299 euros for the worst. But we can also understand Apple's strategy: at equal performance products feature MUST sell more expensive, and especially to guard against the fact that if the iPad Mini cannibalize the "big" iPad (which I opinion is likely to occur), it must not be at the expense of margins. And where is it written that a smaller product - if it meets a strong demand - must be cheaper than its larger counterpart, if everything is equal elsewhere (components, design, functionality) and that it brings a real plus in terms of usability? Do not we say that miniaturization expensive?

3. The iPad mini is compatible with iPad applications 10 inches

That was the big question that I asked yesterday and I was surprised that nobody has mentioned. The keynote yesterday gave the answer in a chapter specifically devoted to him, demonstrating the importance Apple places on it, including on its website . The mini iPad natively supports all iPad applications, due to its screen resolution identical to that of the iPad 2, ie 768 × 1024 pixels. There will therefore be no question of the developers to provide updates as was the case for example for the iPhone 5, and we are entitled to our favorite apps in the format that we already know: a Flipboard GarageBand or turn version of iPad, iPhone and not on the iPad mini. Good news and a small stone from the garden of Android aisles sometimes not very well drawn.

4. The iPad mini is unlikely he not kill the 10-inch iPad?

It is a risk, probably calculated and provided by Apple. And I think in this respect that the choice of size 7.9 inches is not totally innocent. If Apple had released a 7-inch, comparison, and thus the competition with other 7-inch tablet market was inevitable, and perhaps bloody for Apple. By adopting this format "in-between" guards against Apple and avoids comparisons to spend a follower. On the other hand it allows him to sell his pad just more expensive and avoid being drawn into a spiral of low-cost carriers which seem to engage some competitors (low cost does not mean cheap, eh) . But actually, this choice format also includes a risk that significantly cannibalize the 9.7-inch iPad, which seems suddenly very clumsy and cumbersome. It will be interesting to see the purchasing behavior and segmentation between the two models in the next few months, but I'd bet on a strong scalability rapid mini, and sales representing 50% of total revenue in the coming year . The iPad 9.7, which retains some advantages to him as the Retina display and a more powerful processor, could remain the first choice for professionals, and mini star to the general public ... to see.

5. Apple compares for the first time publicly a competitor ... android.

Unless I am mistaken, the keynote yesterday unveiled a new and amazing practice at Apple, at least since the era iPhone / iPad: direct confrontation with the competition. Phil Schiller, vice president of marketing Apple has indeed held a long comparative demonstration between 7 and Nexus mini iPad, and everything is past, large format photographs in support: finishing materials, size and especially of the screen (but not the resolution, coincidentally). Perhaps ultimately the best tribute we can pay to the excellent Google tablet and unexpected advertising, which shows that Android remains the bane of Cupertino, even after Steve Jobs.

Finally, after these facts and (relatively) objective, I give you my personal opinion: they follow me here know that I have always praised the format 7 inches and I always thought - even when I argued the opposite stubbornly with arguments that I have never changed your mind - that Apple would come out one day a mini iPad, because it would have no choice. Also - after you have said all that I think my Nexus 7 - I will not surprise you by telling you that the iPad mini for me is a really good news, and I will hasten to sell my iPad 2 to place orders on October 26. Cannibalization has begun, and I am one of the first actors. For me, the 9.7-inch iPad died last night, and I do not think I will return one day.

Facebook: 1.01 billion and 604 million active members on the monthly mobile

On the occasion of the publication of its financial results for the third quarter cash, Facebook has released statistics that are worth a look on its users.

Regarding the financial aspect of the company Mark Zuckerberg has slightly exceeded analysts' expectations with a turnover of 1.26 billion and earnings per share of 0.12 dollars, while analysts were betting instead on a number of Affairs of 1.23 billion and earnings per share of 0.11 dollar ...

As for statistics, the social network has passed the symbolic threshold of 1.01 billion active members per month to 30 September 2012, an increase of 26% compared to last year. And Facebook has nearly 604 million members each month on mobile, with an impressive increase of 61% compared to last year. Finally, the social network identifies an average of 584 million active members per day in September 2012.

The latest available figures, and relayed on this blog at the beginning of October, reported a billion active members per month and 600 million on mobile.

The iPad Mini and 4th generation iPad not compatible with 4G LTE

The iPad Mini has just been unveiled. A careful examination of its cellular connectivity demonstrates that it is not compatible with 4G LTE in France (and in many other European countries).

If the iPhone 5 is not compatible with the bands 7 (2600 MHz) and 20 (800 MHz) of the 4G LTE allocated to French mobile operators by ARCEP, the iPad Mini is not either.

In the specifications for cellular connectivity is discovered that Apple has made ​​a substantial effort (compared to the iPad 3rd generation). The iPad 3G/4G Mini comes in two versions: A1454 A1455 and. The model A1454 is compatible with the bands 4 (AWS) and 17 (700b MHz) while the version is A1455 with bands 1 (2100 MHz), 3 (1800 MHz), 5 (850 MHz), 13 (700c MHz) and 25 (1900 MHz).

4th generation iPad is also being unveiled is also available in two versions (for model "WiFi + cell") and A1459 A1460. Both versions have the same accounting respectively 4G LTE A1454 and A1455 versions of the iPad Mini. They are not compatible with 4G LTE bands allocated.

There remains only one hope with the re-farming of band 3 (1800 MHz), which allow mobile operators have space in this band for use of 4G LTE (instead of GSM).

However, it should be noted, however, that the iPad Mini and 4th generation iPad is compatible with DC-HSDPA.

We waited as the highlight of the show offered by the keynote and it has been announced. It is the iPad Mini, Apple's response to Google and Nexus 7. The firm at the apple has also not denied on several points compare to the iPad Mini (forgetting, however, that the price of the Nexus 7 is less than $ 80).

The iPad Mini declined in two colors (black or white) is characterized by a screen of 7.9 inches with 1024 x 768 pixels, 163 ppi (Retina Display not so). Size that is easy to remember because the iPad "classic" has a 9.7 inch screen, two digits reversed for "move" from one size to another.

An inch larger than the screen of the Nexus 7 which, according to Apple, makes a difference and contributes to ease of use. The usable area of ​​the screen is so much higher (3/2 larger) on the iPad Mini on the screen of the Nexus 7. According to Apple, the 4:3 screen also helps to show more content on the screen making it (in landscape mode) surfing on the internet much more comfortable.

He joined the A5 chip (not the A6 as in the iPhone 5 or even the new iPad A5X) has Lightning connector (like the iPhone 5 and the new 9.7-inch iPad also unveiled) a FaceTime HD camera with 5 megapixel sensor and has 4G LTE connectivity and a WiFi n on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It is characterized by a thickness of 7.2 mm and a weight of 308 grams (312 grams for the WiFi version + cell). Apple indicates that Smart Cover will be available (with more green model). Finally, add the iPad apps are compatible with the iPad Mini.

The 4th generation iPad ships A6 SoC (like the iPhone 5), which translates into power twice the CPU and GPU. Autonomy is 10 hours and receives a 720p FaceTime HD Camera. Dock 30 pin connector is replaced by a Lightning.

The iPad Mini is available in six versions (16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB WiFi but 3G/4G/WiFi). Versions For WiFi, the price is $ 329 (16GB), $ 429 (32GB ) and $ 529 (64GB).

Apple Announces MacBook Pro 13 inch Retina Display

After Tim Cook, Phil Schiller is mounted on stage to present a new MacBook Pro. And not just any model because it is a model with resolution Retina Display.

MacBook Pro 13 inch in its declination is the most sold models in the range. It therefore seemed logical that Apple offers a version with display Retina Display.

On its 13.3-inch screen, it displays 2560 by 1600 pixels, or 4,096,000 pixels, which makes the laptop with the second highest resolution after the ... MackBook Pro 15-inch Retina Display.

It has two ports Thunderbold, USB 3.0, HDMI output, an SD card reader, but lost its optical drive.

Display side, Apple says 29% more contrast compared to previous models and 75% reflected light within a viewing angle of 178 degrees and a brightness of 300 nits.

It can integrate up to 768 GB of flash memory (SSD) but come with 128 GB in its minimum configuration.

Its battery ensures an autonomy of 7 hours.

It also features 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5 or i7 (Ivy Bridge) Dual Core.

The conference live from Apple's Safari browser

By a little more than two hours, Apple will begin his keynote during which we should discover the iPad Mini and possibly other products.

We have seen that Apple TV owners will be able to view it live on their HDTV. The information is now confirmed on Apple's site.

But the Cupertino company has decided to extend this opportunity to all owners of iOS devices: iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. This requires that the device is running iOS 4.2 minimum .

Finally, if you have a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 minimum (condition probably need to install version 4 (minimum) Safari), you can also view it from the Safari browser. To do this, you must have the version 4 (minimum) of Apple's browser . One can also imagine that it should be possible to watch it from any PC if Safari v4 (at least) is installed or another browser "modern" (Chrome, Firefox, IE ...).

A radical change in communication since Apple since 2010, it is not possible to see the live keynotes from Apple.

For now, the Apple online store is closed, the history of the "achalander" with new products that will be presented at the end of the day. The star should be the iPad Mini, this iPad with 7.85 inch screen probable. Tim Cook dared a format that Steve Jobs had yet relayed to the rank of ridicule. Many questions are now focusing on these characteristics and prices.

A fair price could be at $ 330 or $ 350 (for the least expensive model), that is to say between those battery of the iPad and iPod Touch. However, if the first model includes only 8 GB of internal memory, you can also expect it to be lower.

The keynote is expected to see a MacBook Pro 13 inch Retina Display (only one 15-inch model is now available with Retina Display screen). Finally, Apple has also in its cartons a new Mac mini and a new line of iMac.

Many presentations of new devices that could potentially dilute, if confirmed, the effect of the announcement of the iPad mini.

See you on the URL to 19 am, French time, from your web browser Safari (version 4).

For Windows users, go to this URL to download the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7 dated 9 May 2012). Other browsers should also do the trick (if the installed version is newer) .
