During the years have been seen many new devices of modern technology , while others have been discontinued and you were removed from production. Let 10 major devices that were discontinued this year.
1 - The White MacBook Apple: although it was discontinued in 2011, 2012 was the year in which his life was finally discontinued production. This laptop used to be quite used by students because it was more expensive than the rest of the Apple catalog.
2 - Dell Venue: the company announced its withdrawal from the market of mobile in March. The Venue was a mobile that experienced several technical problems.
3 - Amazon Kindle DX: the largest e-reader company was discontinued in the last months of 2012 after three years of little success in the market.
4 - Apple iPad 3: 6 months after the iPad 3 was released, this model was discontinued due to the launch of the new iPad 4.
5 - Logitech Squeezebox: This music platform was discontinued after the launch of its replacement, the Smart Radio service.
6 - iPhone 3GS: the third generation of the iPhone, launched in 2009, continued in production until the 2012. After announcing the iPhone 5, the 3GS was removed from production.
7 - Motorola Webtop: a combination of hardware and software that allowed us to use a smartphone in a dock of a laptop. Its high price and low functionality made came to an end.
8 - 17-inch MacBook Pro: introduced in 2003, this laptop stopped production in 2012 and now only models 15 and 13 inches are available.
9 - Asus Eee PC: in September it was confirmed that Asus would stop making this netbook and would focus on tablets.
10 - Google Nexus Q:
technically it was discontinued, but the first streamer social content
of the world would be launched this year, but ultimately was delayed
until 2013.
Usually
the cheap tablets are often of poor quality, but in this case we have
one that is good quality and low price as well: the Acer Iconia B1. It is a device that many rumors but nothing confirmed officially. Will it be able to compete with the Nexus 7 Asus and Google ? Probably not, since their specifications are a bit poor in comparison.
What we have here then? The first major advantage and the unique prácticmanente Acer Iconia B1 is its price of only $ 100. Looking at your hardware , the device has a 7-inch screen with 1024 × 600 pixels, that is equal to the BlackBerry PlayBook. The processor runs at 1.2GHz and used further states that has a SIM card slot and runs Android 4.1.
A danger to the iPad Mini and other small tablets? The truth is no.
As already mentioned, the only real advantage over the rest is the
price, while the main mini-tablets are not only better specifications,
but are also well-known brands.
When the app maps Google iOS 6
was released several days ago ago, soon positioned at the top of the
download list and only 48 hours had been downloaded 10 million times. 4 days ago I commented that many people had upgraded to iOS in June following the departure of that application, but the truth is that not due to this, but to something else: the launch of the iPhone 5 in China.
Last week not only was the launch of Google Maps, but also the launch
of the new iPhone in mainland China, where in just three days were sold
over 2 million units of the device.
This was verified by an analysis that was done a couple of days ago. Looking back slightly, up 29% updates seems much so that only one application can pull it off, do not you think?
The CES 2013 is just around the corner and there we see a lot of gizmos, gadgets and devices of all types and sizes. One of these will be a smartphone , the ZTE Grand S. It is a new mobile with 5-inch screen and photo, we see above, has started flying Internet recently. It seems that a new smartphone with full HD joins the club next to the HTC Droid DNA, Oppo Find 5 and some more.
We do not know much about it, but we do know that he would become the full HD smartphone with the world's thinnest
and that its thickness is only 7.6 mm, although this would not be true
if we take into account the Find 5, whose thickness is even lower.
We do not have the slightest idea of what their hardware , but we hope to have a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a camera of at least 8 megapixels.
What do you expect from the ZTE Grand S?
Most Android tablets are not up to the iPad from Apple , but expects its new Archos Archos 97 Titanium HD can cope with the king. It is a tablet like the iPad 4 having a 9.7 inch screen with resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels. Under his shell hides a dual-core processor at 1.6GHz, a GPU Mali 400, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory.
Other noteworthy specifications of the Archos 97 Titanium HD include a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2 megapixel front and a microSD card slot. Besides this the tablet has WiFi and runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The truth is that it's not bad, but unfortunately still not aware of its price or availability date. According to estimates, will cost about $ 350.
What do you think about it?
Instagram,
the popular service designed to upload pictures and apply filter
effects to other people see them has received an update yesterday. If you like a lot of the filters or if you know English, this update will come in handy.
Both app for Android and iOS version has been updated and now supports 25 other languages such as Spanish, French and Chinese. This is also available for the web version of Instagram.
In addition, a new filter is available called "Mayfair", which is a
kind of filter that darkens slightly touched the edges of the picture
and gives more light to the center. Besides the photos you take with the front of our camera smartphone no longer in mirror and you use an iOS device can select photos that are not on the roll of film. Of course that also includes fixes for bugs classics.
Here is the Android version, and here we have a version of iOS.
Over the years, the iPhone from Apple and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones have become the best known devices of the phone market mobile terminal and currently no other has been able to compete with them. This could change as Google along with Motorola are working on a mobile to rival the rest of the market, including with top level competitors iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Recall that Google already has experience in the development of mobile phones and mobile devices, so for them there is a new market.
For now, the new device is known as the X Phone. It is said that it will be a very powerful phone with a camera and software for photos, but also have a flexible screen and outer ceramic. It speaks well of course X Tablet to be released sometime next year, although the data are about zero.
What Google and Motorola will bring up to? Let's wait a bit to see.
In about five weeks, the world will see if one of the giants of the market for mobile phones in the last two decades does stand or fall finish after having encountered a couple of years ago. The phones of RIM have not been what many expected and its technology has been somewhat "short", and while the company still has some loyal followers, the BlackBerry market share has plummeted since the arrival of iOS and Android. Many complained when RIM announced that BB10 would be launched only in 2013, but what if the wait really worth it?
If the company takes the time to make your new platform to work
properly, then it could be the rope that will pull the pit in which they
find themselves.
It's easy to say that iOS and Android BlackBerry crushed, but certainly we all like good returns and RIM may have chosen a perfect time to return.
It will be the only company to introduce a new platform in the first
quarter of 2013 and it seems that many are willing to give the
manufacturer a new opportunity.
Another point is also key to the victory possible RIM: international sales.
The market U.S., UK, China and Japan is large, but we must not forget
the rest of the world's countries and continents like Africa where RIM
devices still continue to sell quite well. Perhaps RIM fails to conquer the few large markets, but you can still try to conquer the hundreds of small markets.
As noted above, in only five weeks we'll know.
