Positives

The most interesting feature of the Sony Xperia look at is the level of connections. Both 3G and WiFi as the most important moment, but also has a good camera sensor with 5 megapixels and the ability to record video at 30 frames per second.
As for support for microSD cards, add more of space to store videos, songs and other files. The performance of the Sony Xperia look is right, not out, but it is bumpy at any time. Fulfilling tasks for video playback at any time and without complications.

Negatives

Unlike other phones Sony Xperia family, the look does not use the BRAVIA TV screens Sony. A shame because they achieve excellent colors and a resolution of luxury, but has been omitted from this phone tighter. Also the screen, only 3.5 inches, it may seem a bit small for a smartphone.

Conclusion

The attempt to Sony Xperia look very interesting. Without the need for a large phone, users may need a smartphone connected at all times, and there lies the positive part of this design.

The look is a compact phone but can be connected all the time through 3G and WiFi, and also has Bluetooth and DLNA technology. In short, a mobile in terms of connectivity does not have anything to envy to other larger devices.
In turn, the Sony Xperia has limited capabilities but look accurate to record video and take pictures. And all for a price that is expected below 300 euros. In short, a great way to access different functions of a next-generation smartphone, but with reduced size and limitations designed to obtain a better price.
To this we add four different colors and look at the Sony Xperia is postulated as an option in a market relatively personalized widening of mobile phones with the Android OS.

Sony , one of the companies linked to technological devices in the world, is preparing a launch luxury segment tip to the tablet. Before the end of 2012 could reach the market the tablet, but it is a rumor that has not yet been confirmed.
 Major technology companies are present in the segment of the tablets: Microsoft, Apple, Google, Samsung and Amazon, but Sony has taken a while and it's time to catch up.
The first attempts to Sony in the world of tablets were real failures, to the point that many users do not remember, but there are Tablet S1 and S2. Sony's strategy to launch a new beginning in the segment of the tablet seems to be the right one, seeking to leave behind past failures, but still no confirmation of the characteristics that have the device.
An interesting sign on the new tablet is Sony's recent purchase of Gaikai, a company dedicated to offering games via the cloud. This implies a great advantage in the world of mobile devices as it aims to offer a variety of games and applications ahead of a device capable of running excellent graphics you consider to be a tablet to compete with smartphones and tablets from other companies have already begun to include graphics cards and processors dedicated solely to get the best graphics on mobile devices.

WHDI, avoid cable clutter in the dining room

Technology advances and one of the most practical discoveries was that of wireless technology, which lets you connect wirelessly to disturb the pace. Today there are many wireless devices, but still the TV usually requires many different inputs for DVD players, Blu-ray, consoles, audio equipment and much more, but WHDI gets a chance to eliminate the hassle of bypass jumper cables from side to side in the room.
But this technology, which solves our problems by eliminating the need for cables, is expensive and not yet standardized. The wireless transmission system HD is just taking its first steps and protocols are most commonly used in multimedia equipment and WHDI WiDi computing devices.
The Chinese, as always, have offers cheaper and more accessible for this type of technology. Whether DealExtreme stores like Amazon or the same, the Chinese produce different brands but are not recognized as Samsung or Sony, they work relatively well and are accessible, working in the 5 GHz band without interfering with WiFi networks home.

The devices are available in these stores usually include a remote control and can send a full HD signal at a distance of 30 meters. The price is about 130-150 euros. Another option is Gefen, a little more expensive but more support in terms of quality. The price amounts to 330 euros but offers an issuer which also supports 3D video.
Phillips also has a proposal with multiple HDMI jacks, SWW1800 has four inputs (2 HDMI, 2 component) and serves as a small media hub so you can get the equipment out of the room but enjoy high quality picture and sound.

Roku: present in Spain and Germany?

Roku could reach Spain and Germany to offer a rental service and online video store after Netflix abandon the project. Roku is one of the greatest experts in the industry and it is intended the project to devoting himself to the market not only in Spain but also Germany is included in the European landing.
The news came alongside the new firmware update package for computers LT Roku, HD and 2. In addition to updates that give a new look, Roku now comes with new interface languages: Spanish and German.
Too many coincidences? Some data within the HTML of the website Roku seem to point to the cues that can serve to suspect that the company is preparing the landing in the new countries mentioned above.
Roku had not reached other countries where it was running its services: Netflix, but now that the service has not been reached due to problems with copyright, everything seems to point to a Roku landed directly in Spain and Germany, is to see how the project develops.
For now, Roku computer users in Ireland, United Kingdom, United States and Canada can start using their reproductions in Spanish and German, is progress. We will be watching for the latest ads related to the expansion of Roku and the possibility that one of the movie rental services and online media player to reach two of the major European countries.

Macbook Pro 13-inch Retina

Sometimes rumors come true, and if Apple is doing this. The new Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch display is an enhanced version of the model presented during WWDC.

New data on 13-inch model arise from the results of benchmarks performed with Geekbench 2, and there is an Apple computer with a CPU model identical to the mid-2012 and 4 GB of RAM.
The new Macbook Pro 13-inch Retina have an Intel Core i7-3520M and two cores running at 2.9 Ghz frequency. It is one of the top models distributed by Apple at the moment and has half the RAM that other business models.
Come with the OS X operating system and the famous Lion Mountain Retina Display screen with its high density of pixels for the best picture and multimedia playback. The model is presented in the evidence as MacbookPro10.2 and may be a joke, but while still a rumor should be taken into account the possibility that it is a new project from Apple.
The idea of a new Retina Display screen 13 inch is only logical if we consider the point of view of consumers, as the 15 inch version had a blockbuster and now may be looking more broadly at a segment cheaper.
The Macbook Pro Retina 13 could be Apple's answer to the new tablets as Google and Samsung Nexus Note Galaxy 2, but will have to wait for confirmation from the Cupertino company.

Acer: "Microsoft, do not sell too cheaply Surface"

 http://i.imgur.com/HpYtM.jpg

Acer is the Microsoft partner that less is being cut in talking about Windows 8/RT and Surface, a few days ago criticized the Redmond foray into the world of hardware , and today, more smooth, worry about the price promising the Microsoft product.
Again, the Taiwanese company's CEO, JT Wang has confirmed its commitment to the new Windows strategy, but again reaffirmed that Surface will do more harm than good to the interests of Microsoft in the PC ecosystem / tablets.
Wang also claims to be more optimistic President involved in this adventure (the rest is silent), and Acer has come to be concerned, since it is difficult to understand the new rules of the game from Microsoft, which could play with aggressive pricing.
From Acer saying that the price of placing on the market two models of Surface, choice RT or Windows 8 will mark the relations with the other manufacturers. If Microsoft decides to go down to the more affordable model for $300 instead of 500/600 provided, others can not bring to market a competitive product.
In my opinion, the price will be high, exceeding $500, but Microsoft will have some leeway and can choose to get close to cost prices. But these declarations, the CEO of Acer wants to send a message to Microsoft: if much lower price, others can not compete, and Windows 8 will not be an interesting platform.
We have already experienced this situation a few weeks ago with Google, ASUS, and Nexus 7 . Placed on the market a product hard to beat on price, with outstanding specifications, and that is causing problems to other manufacturers to present alternatives
