SOS ANDROID

It is not a big surprise, Flash 10.1 for that some people wait firmly on motive will not be available for all. Indeed, the animal needs power!!!

According to a developer included into the team of porterage to only Adobe, processors ARM Cortices will be able to benefit from the support of Flash 10.1. Indeed ARM is part of l led by Adobe to develop the support of flash. Pre-requested techniques were included into processors ARM A Cortex only (see this link ). Processors Qualcomm SnapDragon or Texas Instruments OMAP 3 will support Flash therefore. Let us point out however that these are the upmarket processors.

In it add the necessity to use versions of ANDROID 2.x, it puts some telephones of quoting already on the market. has list some telephone (thank you Cyril) already on the key in are ticket: HTC DREAM, HTC MAGIC, LG GW620, Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Dext,

At the same time, it does not surprise me, it has been 6 years since I hear  Flash arrives on motive and will be available everywhere  . This promise is still not valid. For the leaving for count, reassure you, the arrival of HTML 5 is going widely to diminish the interest of Flash and ANDROID 2.x support HTML 5. Webmasters is going progressively to migrate their sites to HTML 5 and to bring you a better experience on your motive.

Do you think that supports him of Flash on motive am necessary finally?

Motorbike is a society which works widely upstream of products and of their bet on the market. The society defined with the reference designs which will serve for defining products of tomorrow. Motorbike introduces the Android Media Platform (AMP) who controls himself in 3 variants differentiated mainly on the size of the screen, the family of processor and use:

• Screen 3,5 OLED, processor OMAP 3630 720 MHZ ARM Cortex A8 (smartphone, PMP, terminal of control)
• Screen 5 OLED, processor OMAP 3430 600 MHZ ARM Cortex A8 (PMP, Navigation GPS, )
• Screen 10,4 OLED, processor OMAP 4XXX 720 + two-tier MHZ core ARM CORTEX A9 (Centres photo communicating, Bar web, terminal of case, player linked medium)

All have a screen OLED or TFT (option), a video exit 720p, of 256 Mb in 2 Go of internal memo, Multi Touch capacitif, management of one or two sensors photo to 8 Mpx, etc (see complete specifications).

It shows us to which direction go apparatus Android and applications which will follow from it. Because you should not forget him, telephones will not be the only application of this BONE and all the industrialists well intend to use the opportunity given by ANDROID. We could see for example soon a linked refrigerator loading an AMP module.

According to Motorbike, a starting of plan supporting with their reference design allows the second semestre 2011 the beginning of production and therefore the bet on the market for summer, 2011.

The society no maque no ideas since she imagined a surveillance of your electrical consumption since a simple webcam, a small electronic card working with ANDROID and a little of genius. Another idea of the firm is a solution of piloting of electronic paper based also on ANDROID. And you, what product imagine to you with these designs?

This evening Archos introduced during a press conference its new range. Very centered on netbooks, 4 models were introduced or represented. It was also a matter of the entrance of Archos in telephony via Andro d.

Already announced last February for the 3GSM, Archos works to give a substitute to Archos 5 3G + sold with SFR. Therefore re-confirmed Henry Crohas the development of such apparatus. Based on the association Archos Andro d, seen as natural by the society, apparently confessed purpose is to go to walk widely on the flower beds of Apple. Ambition is to make better by linking expertise Archos in the multimedia (music, TV, video, GPS) and that of Google in telephony via Andro d.

We are impatient to test him because furthermore was divulg only what had been already said last February (see the technical details). As soon as possible, we will make it.

A thing is sure now, the market of the contructeurs of telephones is going to be jostled with the entrance of new actors who will not hesitate to innovate hard to share a part of the gateau. It is as it that Apple arrived, others do the same: Constructive Archos, Geek' s Phone, Kogan, Lenovo Les established doivents fit urgently because teeth are salient!

The press pack

It is not the first experimentation of Andro d except telephony. The announcements of netbook were legion recently. He there there in had also for a frame photo. We remain sceptical and however it is necessary reconnaitre that some people can be serious. It is probably one of the consequences of infatuation for the BONE and of the public availability of the source code. It will lead microphone willy-nilly to a strong division by the adaptation of this one in conditions at instant T and make difficult the job of the developers. This history reminds of saga Linux.

Today, it is ISB CORP (JAPAN), that shows one Internet lock-up garage (top jeu lock-up garage). It is an archetype based on the platform Texas Instruments OMAP 3530, for who ISB CORP still works on the improvement of the video support by Andro d to get a video reading HD of quality. The society had besides apparently announced it during a press release published at the beginning of April.

Beyond the Pinch Gesture Introducing the next generation of mobile Multi-Touch Interfaces for applications.

Such is what it is possible to read on the site web of Stantum. Habitually, it can make laugh to the point of having tested the product. We had this chance in the foyer 4 of last MWC in barcelone. Where the screen of the iPhone returned dated touch screens then used on Mobile Windows by HTC, the screen of Stantum has of what to make dated that of the iPhone.

It seems that Engadget thinks of the same thing. Indeed, precision is really in appointment (<0,8mm) as well as reactivity (the cursor follows your finger without any observable latency and without the famous jitter). Besides, made impossible for the capacitif screen of the iPhone, this one is sensitive to pressure. It allows to imagine a lot new functionality based on the pressure of the screen. Multitouch management is also bluffante. His screen manage 4, 5, 6, fingers at the same time. We were astounded by the quality of the product.

The society which we introduced you at the beginning of December has of what to entice the mobile market of the constructors. The first terminals equipped with this technology should apparaitre for the first quarter 2010. It will be necessary to be patient, but it is almost tomorrow. Linked to Andro d, this terminal should make a misfortune (Compatible Andro d, Symbian and Mobile Windows for the moment via the platform OMAP of TI).

Let us hope to this society of Bordeaux for a nice success! It should have leave well since Microsoft (via TechDays) is also interested in their technology for Mobile Windows 7.

In 2008, Archos threw, with SFR, Archos 5 3G +. The society has just announced to work on an Internet bar based on Andro d.

INTENDED IMT (Internet Multimedia Tablet) aura for heart a processor Texas Instrument OMAP 3 especially optimised for Andro d who, according to R mi Ouazanne, VP OMAP PLATFORM BUSINESS Joins, will allow to Archos a nice entrance on the market of the mobile Internet by giving capacities of management of voice. The apparatus is envisaged in the 3^rd quarter 2009 (for the Christmas market).

Among listed functionality, we have

• Processor ARM OMAP 3440 - 800 MHZ
• Touch screen of 5
• Television, Video, Photos, Music, Games, Flash
• To 500 Go of stocking
• A 10 mm thickness
• To 7 h of autonomy
•  "3,5G " HSDPA and HSUPA 7,2 MBITS
