Lenovo Group, attracted by the smartphone market as the next growth driver, could launch its terminals in Europe from 2014.

China's Lenovo Group experienced strong success in sales of computers, enjoying solid growth when most of its competitors have their deliveries settle and allowing it to become the industry leader.

But along with this surge in a market suffering from competition from tablet computers, the company does not hide his appetite for smartphones（Lenovo P780） and tablet computers that are strategic areas to fuel growth.

Having made his debut on the local market, China, Lenovo now wants to become a global player in this segment. Focusing mainly on Android and based on a partnership with Intel to use mobile phones in its Atom chips, the group has demonstrated its capacity for iovation.

Lenovo K900 So logically it is interested in inteational markets, and it should start soon in Europe. According to a report in Le Figaro reported by AFP, Lenovo could offer smartphones on the European markets from the second quarter of 2014.

The director of Lenovo EMEA that says who is none other than former CEO Gianfranco Lanci ... of Taiwan-based Acer, which had raised it on smartphones in 2009 with an ambitious strategy but had the remains elusive.

With sales of mobile（THL W8 Beyond） devices (smartphones and tablets) are now higher in volume than those of its PC, Lenovo wants to take advantage of its favorable position and invite over yet already congested European markets and already suffering from slowing sales attributed to a saturation phenomenon.
 

Today many IT professionals found that Open Source is a true "lifestyle" which also has the huge advantage of being financially rewarding, also adopted "The Free" in their Windows Phone even to "Microsoft" and "Free" in the same sentence may cringe. This is found on the Windows Phone platform quite a strong commercial interest for all professionals, regardless of their skill level or responsibilities (Single User, Technician, Administrator, Engineer, .. ., or even Big Boss).

Looking for a good monitoring tool to ensure optimum operation Smartphone France we passed some time ago already Zabbix solution seems a good alteative to gas works too professional that are not adapted to the supervision of a few servers ruing mainly under Windows(THL W100). We could play ease by choosing a Microsoft product, but as we like challenges we opted for a Linux solution :)

The good news is that this solution Zabbix seems genuinely effective, reliable and highly scalable. With it you get today and for several months to measure real-time site performance (response time, for example), something we had never done before in 10 years of existence! The other good news is that "it Zabbix" is provided on the Windows Phone Store an application that allows to have an eye on servers that we have a responsibility in all places and at all times.

For those interested the utility in question is called Zabbkit that despite not really optimized interface is rather functional providing access quite simply and effectively to key information useful when you realize the supervision of servers. In addition since it is totally free and compatible with both Windows Phone 7 Windows Phone 8, what more?

The Huawei asend P6 looks nice and has the latest technology. In addition, the smartphone impresses with its low price! But there is a catch? The test reveals the PC world.

The Ascend P6 is focusing its 4.7-inch display only on HD (720 x 1280 pixels). Nevertheless, most of the content are sharp, which thanks to the IPS + technology is possible. We find no blurring when fonts or round objects. The luminosity is measured with 401.89 cd / m2 is also very high and the viewing angle of over 170 degrees very far.

With the Ascend P6 succeeded the Chinese a real design piece. The clean workmanship, the straight lines and the aluminum casing make the phone extremely high quality. It is given with 6.18 and we measured 6.5 millimeters slimmer than any other smartphone(THL W11 Monkey King) in the test. This has a positive influence on the feel, since the P6 is very stable and easy to operate.

Under the hood of the Huawei Ascend P6 operates the house K3V2 quad-core CPU, which is clocked at 1.5 GHz per core. It is supported by 2 GB RAM. Together with current software they provide acceptable services because the system we use mostly liquid and restart, close and switch apps quickly.

On the Inteet, the speed will slow down significantly. Until a website fully loaded, pass around 8 seconds via Wi-Fi and 10 seconds on HSPA (21.1 Mbit / s download) - clearly too long for a premium model. In addition, we navigate back and only very laboriously on image heavy pages because the page is unresponsive and quite long reloads the new view.

The test duration surfing the 2000 mAh battery keeps the Ascend P6 6:43 hours on life before it requires exteal power. With the battery life, the device is in the upper third of the test field. It also weighs in at 120 grams for the size quite small. Thin, it is also, so it fits perfectly into your pocket.

To justify the low price, Huawei needs to save some coers. So is Bluetooth version 3.0 only used NFC and HDMI compatibility completely missing.

The rear 8-megapixel camera provides you with daylight sharp and crisp images. The colors are crisp, but sometimes a bit artificial.

The front camera scores points with its high resolution of 5 megapixels, with which you can in fact produce sharp images in the self-portrait or carry high-definition video conferencing.

While you get with the Ascend P6 a top-class unit with an unbeatable price / performance ratio. However, there is a catch: you have to give up some features that distinguish the current top devices. These include NFC, LTE and HSPA +, HDMI via MHL adapter, Bluetooth 4.0 and a full HD display. For that you get a smart phone with a beautiful design that can be operated use pleasant.

New Nexus 7 3Nieuwe Google Nexus 7 yet equipped with Snapdragon 600 variant

We have leading up to the presentation of the new Google Nexus 7 dozens of leaks and rumors pass by which spoke of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600. However, Google reported during the presentation that the tablet is equipped with an older Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. Yet now that the new Nexus 7 runs on a Snapdragon 600 variant.

In recent months, the new Nexus 7 spotted several times as the ASUS K009, equipped with a Snapdragon processor 600. At first we were assuming that the WiFi-only model, the K008, would have a Snapdragon S4（THL W11 Monkey King） Pro processor and 4G/LTE model a newer Snapdragon chip 600. However, Google released during the presentation of the tablet know that both models run on a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz.

Yet it seems to be. Bit more complicated According to the website Anandtech does not have the new Nexus 7 namely the standard Snapdragon S4 Pro, also called APQ8064. The chip used in the tablet is the APQ8064-1AA, a special version of the Snapdragon S4 Pro that does not have four Krait cores but 200-300-four Krait cores available. These cores are Snapdragon 600 in the new generation - and 800 Snapdragon processors used. Actually, we are dealing with a slightly lower clocked Snapdragon chip 600, which normally begins at 1.7GHz.

An interesting development and the question is why Google has not emphasized during the presentation. This chip is more mode than the standard S4 Pro chip offers better performance with less power consumption.

    Microsoft has made a habit of releasing a major update of its OS a year after the launch of a new version. In general this is called a Service Pack. But this time, the update has its own name: Windows 8.1. And that's new.

    Windows 8 is the first Microsoft OS ruing on both tablets and PCs with touch screens and the good old computer keyboard. With a somewhat schizophrenic result that destabilized the most experienced users.

    The main interface uses a system of thematic blocks (tiles colors) designed for touchscreen use. But this first interface includes a second (the Office) supposed to meet the owners of a standard PC. And that's where the shoe pinches. Many consumers who buy computers keyboard are confused in this interface. It will be the task of version 8.1 to catch the sauce.

    Windows less powerful

    Since 2010, the touchscreen revolution has been there with the appearance of two new leaders: Apple with its iPad and then Google with Android. And it completely changed the buying habits and market share of each.

    If we add to this the crisis that pushes PC buyers to opt for models without touch screen, you get a context quite complicated for Windows.

    The main changes in 8.1

    Windows 8 was lighter than Windows 7 and it will be the case again for the 8.1 update. So no need to invest in a more powerful PC.

    The main change is in the back of the Start button. Dating from 1995, the button will disappear as 8 months. It is to meet the traditional owners of PC, although it will undoubtedly be located exactly at the same place (in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen). Without saying so, and Microsoft recognizes his mistake.

    There is also the Miracast function to distribute audio and video content in HD (on screens that support it of course).

    The interface "Mode UI" can be customized easily. For example, to add photos in the background or create tiles of different sizes. It's cosmetic, but it was expected.

    SkyDrive, the Windows disk placed in the cloud is better integrated and the touch interface can simultaneously display up to 3 applications. Windows 8.1 also adapts to the new 8 inch tablets and the performance index of the PC disappears.

    We download or expected?

    The more impatient can already download the Preview Release. But it is not yet the final version.

    The finalized RTM (Release to Manufacturing) version of the system will be available at the end of August. But only for PC(PIPO M9) manufacturers to equip them with new computers that will be sold for the holiday season. It will probably be in October, hair cell a year after the release of Windows 8.

    As an update, the current owners of a Windows 8 PC can simply download.

    A complicated future

    Microsoft claims 100 million Windows 8 passed in 8 months licenses. According to Net Applications, sales in June were even excellent. But the numbers are there: Windows 8 is 5.10% market share, even against 44.37% for Windows 7, Windows XP 37% and 4.6% for Vista. Apple provides in 7.2% with OS X and Linux is marginal, with 1.28%.

    But this is without taking into account the shelves that are also PC. Starting this year, it will sell as many tablets as laptops and in 2015, it will sell more tablets than all the PCs(PIPO s1s) together (portable, all-in-one desktop PC). The market share of Windows that is still 90% from the PC is going to melt like snow in the sun if version 8 is not necessary to rapidly among the shelves.

    In less than a year Windows XP (37%) will no longer be updated or maintained by Microsoft. For simple reasons of security, many companies will be migrating to a new system, but which one? Windows 8? Windows 7 ... or a competing offers Apple and Android? The era of the PC market subject to a monopoly OS is over

Ubuntu Touch OS was aounced last January with the promise of seeing the first devices by the end of the year. On the Inteet appeared the first photos of a (THL W8 Beyond)smartphone with the operating system from Canonical.
 
Lovers of Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distro and used at all, will surely be delighted in being able to see their favorite operating system in its iteration for smartphones by the end of the year.

Ubuntu Edge

The aouncement came last January with the public presentation of the Ubuntu OS Touch, and further details were leaked with the registration of the trademark "Edge" by Canonical, the company that handles distribution of Ubuntu. The objective voiced last January was to release some Ubuntu Touch devices later this year.

In a recent interview, Mark Shuttleworth of Canonical, has aounced the future availability of four different devices, including a high-end and one mid-range, as well as two variants with technical characteristics similar to the previous, as we read on Phandroid.

In the past few hours have been disclosed some render depicting what should be your Ubuntu Edge, just in response to an advertisement appeared in relatively veiled Ubuntu site, where you could read "The line where two surfaces meet," we can easily translate with "The line where two surfaces meet," that is a vertex, translation, in tu, Edge.

The render depicting a device aesthetically care where the emphasis is minimalist with an angular design and the logo in the center of the operating system. Ubuntu Touch OS will still be compatible with all Android smartphones last generation, although initially be supported only the last series terminals Nexus Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 with regard to smartphones, while Nexus Nexus 7 and 10 for the area of the tablet(PIPO Tablet PC) .

The Inteational Telecommunication Union, the United Nations Organization alert on mobile phone technological vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to attack at least 500 million of the 6,000 million units are estimated to be in operation in the world.

The flaw, discovered by Germany's Security Research Labs, allows hackers to gain remote control and clone certain mobile phone(ThL W8S) SIM cards, with which they could commit financial crimes or electronic espionage.

The details of these vulnerabilities will be reported at the conference on hacking (Black Hat) which begins in Las Vegas on July 31.

The UN agency aounced that notify regulators and govement agencies in nearly 200 countries on the potential threat and hundreds of mobile phone companies, academics and other industry experts.

According to researchers all types of phones are vulnerable: Apple iPhones, Android devices and systems using BlackBerry phones.
