that have been launched in recent months, which have served to give a
boost to sales of these types of smartphones.

This new laptop is the successor to the Yoga 13 and if they have been
waiting for it then you can buy it, because it has gone on sale
yesterday.
The base model of the Yoga IdeaPad S11 is priced at $ 800.
Its screen measures obviously 11 inches and has a resolution HD + 1366 ×
768 pixels, also has 4GB of RAM, uses an SSD of 128GB and its processor
is an Intel Core i3, which can best replace it with a Core i5 or by a
Core i7.
We can also improve other aspects of Yoga 11S: the SSD drive capacity
can go up to 256GB, the maximum available RAM is 8GB and higher screen
resolution of 1600 × 900 pixels.
The Yoga 13 is a notebook
hybrid that was very well received in most markets, now Lenovo is
launching a smaller version of the laptop, which can also be used like a
tablet.
We hope you continue to improve your online Lenovo Yoga with the arrival of new models of modern technology.
Liquid cooling? Into a smartphone ? Yes, believe it or not. The cooling systems are usually seen more often in computers , mainly in computer gamer, not any equipment. Perhaps this is a smartphone gamer? Nor, is simply a phone which has become the first smartphone with liquid cooling, and obviously the liquid used is water.
The phone we are talking about is called NEC Media X 06E and is one of the first devices mobile in having a water cooling system. In addition, the terminal has a powerful processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.7GHz quad-core, which gives it a few extra points.
Additionally, the design of the phone is quite striking and stylish,
but as indicated mainly caters for women, insurance so many do not like
to use it.
We expect the NEC Media X 06E is the first of many future smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices with cooling system to be launched in the future
Remember the HTC One ? A smartphone high end that was put up for sale recently this year.
As announced by HTC, are currently increasing its production capacity
to achieve produce at least twice as many units of the One, since
apparently there is a great demand from their customers.
HTC has plans to double the number of units produced of One last month,
and the idea is to keep production further increased with advancing
weeks.
According to Jack Tong,
one of the key executives of the Taiwanese company, its production
capacity will increase significantly from now on, after having overcome
some problems that arose some providers. Overall HTC is optimistic and believes that in the coming months its new flagship smartphone will have very good sales.
Improve production to meet demand without doubt take the company to
generate more profits, which did not come too bad because in these past
months things have not gone so well.
By the way, if you do not remember the specs, the HTC One has a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and full HD screen 4.7 inches, among other things.
Google to become known a lot of interesting details about several of their services and products. According to the large search engine company to date have been activated over 900 million Android devices, which surpasses any other operating system.
You may remember that in his first year and a half old mobile operating
system did reach 400 million activations, which undoubtedly is a
record.
Lets look at some additional data that Google has decided to give us about other products or services:
-Google I / O 2013: More than 6000 people from different places attended the event these days. -Streaming: is estimated that over 1 million people have been watching I / O conference streamed via YouTube. -Chrome: Browser has over 750 million active users currently. -Maps: now there are over 200 countries listed in Google Maps. -Street View: More than 50 countries are part of the network pictures of this service. -Sites with Maps: More than 1 million websites have integrated a Google Map.
Undoubtedly are some pretty interesting numbers. We expect Apple to make a similar announcement in WWDC conference that will take place in a few weeks.
It seems that just seep 8-inch version of the Galaxy Tab 3, the latest tablet introduced by Samsung.
The South Korean company unveiled the 7-inch device a few weeks ago,
and now there are rumors and there are several data on a version with a
slightly larger screen. Obviously, the 8-inch model looks very like the 7-inch, and the differences between them are really few actually.
As rumored, the new August 3 inch Tab has a screen resolution of 1280 ×
800 pixels (slightly better than that of his younger brother), also has
a 5 megapixel camera on the back and the front is one of 1.3
megapixels. Its connectivity available include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and 3G, and level has an interface port for USB 2.0 . Its battery has a capacity of 4450mAh and its processor is a dual-core running at 1.5GHz.
That's all we know for now. Probably Samsung will release this new version of the Galaxy Tab 3 next month, so I should not be surprised to see an official announcement in a few weeks.
Corning, the same company developing Gorilla Glass glass found on the iPhone and many other devices, just to publicize his new creation, a new glass called Lotus Glass XT, created with the latest equipment technology .
Lotus XT glass
has several other properties Corning glass, but the main difference is
that it is also easier and cheaper to manufacture, thus certainly more
providers begin to use in new devices, or at least we hope.
Lotus Glass XT is designed especially for high-resolution displays and
helps improve both the brightness and the quality of them compared to
other existing glass.
As we know, the different products of the company are widely used in the field of mobile phones and tablets to improve not only the resistance of the devices, but also the quality of the screen. Reportedly, Apple
is planning to use Gorilla Glass vidirio 3 in its new line of iOS
devices, and surely the Lotus XT also appear there, given the strong
relationship between the company Apple and Corning.
Maybe in your country on Mother's Day
already passed or may not have arrived yet this year, but in large
amounts of countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of
May, ie tomorrow. Here I will recommend a few things that you can give to your mother, but beware, they are gifts for geeks or that mothers understand the technology today. Come up with a list:
- A smartphone : obvious? Well, actually yes. A smartphone is an ideal gift for any loving mother of devices and gadgets. No need to explain the functions of a mobile phone because everyone knows them. The only thing needed is to choose the model that is most appropriate. To do this you have to consider two things: 1) your pocket and 2) the platform that most would like your mother.
If you already have (or had) a smartphone that runs with certain
platform, we suggest you present him one using the same operating
system. Obviously if you have a little iPhone 5 will present him a similar or 4S. Think carefully on your choice.
- Tablets : for sure we all love tablets. Fortunately this year we have more variety than last year. Remember that there are already several Android tablets of 7 inches and up for sale. The iPad also has its Mini version and the traditional version of 10 inches. If you opt for one that runs on Windows, for now you will not find anything about 7 or 8 inches, you have to find a bigger one.
- A vacuum cleaner robotics : a great choice is the iRobot Roomba 630. It is a modern vacuum cleaner with many functions, including going to the charging station when battery is running low. If I remember correctly, this particular model was launched last year, so it's very modern. If you plan to give her one of these, be prepared to give a blow to your wallet.
- A USB:
USB flash drives, also known as "pendrive", are having a bit of fashion
due to the use of the cloud, but having never been anything wrong,
right?
By the way, is that the design goes hand in hand with the occasion,
that is, other than the typical all-white, flat memory without scenery.
- EBook Reader: ebook reader is a great gift if our mother enjoys reading. In addition, there is a huge collection of books in digital format available.
- A watch: there are many watches modern with interesting features, so one of these will not all bad. A good choice can be the Sony SmartWatch. The downside of this small, it's available only in white and black.
If you think of any other medium geek gift we can add to the list, do not forget to leave a comment.
