The creator of video clock Moto360 as will be shown on our wrist

The arrival of the Moto 360 is suppose many people back to believing in smartwatches : it's about time that someone present a real clock not an artifact strangely the only similarity that can get to keep a watch is that tied to our wrist but do not have even a remotely similar to the classic watch life form. Motorola has given the stroke with a round design that almost makes you go through a real clock and has attracted much attention of people failing to know more details of Moto360 Android and Wear. The fact is that The Verge has deepened to an article in their natural style that takes us into a Motorola that has changed dramatically in recent months and coveted product and for the first time can see how it looks when a real person wearing it on his wrist  out of those ads so well prepared and with a few hours of planning and After Effects back. The only pity is that Chris Ziegler failed to get a closer view of Moto360 but can not say he did not try. And without further to say here's what really exists Moto360 today.  Do you like the design? Do you see it as your next watch?

Google accelerates and strengthens HTTPS connections in Chrome for Android

The HTPPS connections are focused for maximum security websites we visit. Encryption however varies from one browser to another. So far Chrome for Android has been using AES-GCM a rather old protocol . But this will change now that Google has been working for many years in most modern safe and fast encrypted. After its launch in desktop Chrome Android reaches new ChaCha20 and Poly1305 for encryption and for authentication . The work behind this is huge and on a technicality completely out of reach but it is very interesting to see how slowly working to implement new and more optimized solutions.

ChaCha20 and Poly1305 more safety and performance

These new protocols offer more security. ChaCha 20 is immune to various types of attacks  we recommend the own Google security blog to learn in detail about these. On the other hand it achieved performance three times higher than what we have with the old encryption protocols such as AES or RC4-SHA-SHA. Better exploit the capabilities of the CPU and also got a 16% reduction in bandwidth used. chart From February 2014 almost all HTTPS connections through Chrome using this new cipher suite. But it is a slow adoption process . To check what kind of security we only have to click the lock bar URL and we will open a tab. If you ChaCha20 - Poly1305 is the new while the former is AES_128_GCM.

info

All this work is due to Professor Dan Bernstein of the University of Illinois at Chicago. A renowned researcher who has got a simple design for an open source algorithm used by one of the world's most popular browsers. Good to encrypted with a commitment to this caliber and expect to reach all sites soon. Should we give more importance as crucial as this?

Huawei will launch its own SmartWatch at WMC 2014

The market for wearable devices is something new and that no company wants to miss. From the smart watch from Samsung the Galaxy Gear until February SmartWatch   from Sony and through the much rumored iWatch from Apple that could see the light this year.

A SmartWatch a smartphone and two tablets. Huawei not to

K3 The Chinese company plans to launch its own smart watch in Worldwide Mobile Congress in Barcelona . Surely you see that Huawei thinks not miss one. If the future are wearable devices  they also manufactured. The main objective of these watches are to ease the day. That's why this market can be beneficial in the future when more people get used to this series of gadgets. Having a device continuously synchronized with your smartphone on the wrist which notifies all is a major technological leap. P6 Not only we will see this clever clock in the MWC  but also show their new flagship. A new smartphone that has nothing to do with existing Ascend P6  it is one totally new . What will these Chinese hand?. Until his presentation will not know anything about your physical appearance or performance you will have. Your CEO has made ??clear no details until then. The intent of Huawei is clear not only highlight leave Samsung in WMC . Already expected by the South Korean Galaxy S5 and perhaps a new model of Galaxy Gear . So what you see Huawei wants to be noticed. Last but not least because Huawei will also present its two new tablets with Android . It is unknown sizes and performance . Although knowing Huawei maybe try to tablets to compete with the current big manufacturers. Providing good design and performance at a good price.

Chinese manufacturers a significant rival

Being an Asian manufacturer will make things easier. The price at which they can sell their products is lower than the other manufacturers and that's a help. Not only have the case of Huawei  which already makes good competition to many manufacturers but there are more companies that are getting noticed. This is the case of Oppo with their recentOppo N1 or Xiaomi terminals with high and low range to cover large market. Undoubtedly the major manufacturers should keep an eye on their products and the other in Chinese products because they could be a surprise. Source | WSJ

One week we bring you one of those who surely is and will remain one of the best games on the Android scene. Since it went on sale on Google Play and other mobile platforms Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour has become by its own merits the best shooter war in recent years as mobile devices are concerned. Today we will take a look at all its benefits in case one / a have not tried it yet.

The hostages will have the president of the U.S. of America. It is found that the contracted security for peace event was directly responsible for the inauguration of the hostages and the entire fortress where the meeting was held. This takes a nuclear war is imminent  and will be responsible for saving the planet from the start of it. Zero Hour does not change almost none of the gameplay of the previous game. The difficulty is still growing as we move forward in the game throughout its 12 main missions. Many cinematics through a number of different scenarios that give richness to the title scenes. has been improved several graphic and sound aspects of previous installments. We will be picking up ammo along the path of enemy soldiers killed or seize their weapons after they have fallen. Controlling our protagonist is complicated at the beginning is never easy and quick to adapt to a shooter on a touch screen but the guys at Gameloft have done a great job of that. As in other similar title cut as Dead Trigger 2  here will press your finger on the right side of the screen to move the sight glass on the left side and on the joystick to move virtual . We will also have dedicated buttons to fire the main guns grenades reload weapons zoom crouch run and jump. In the game modes we have the campaign with twelve missions that we discussed before and multiplayer that gains more and more followers. In this way we will have several online forms with which to hang:
  • Battle Mode : is an all against all in which we will have to eliminate all opponents and we will have to reach a defined number of casualties.
  • Team Battle Mode : Similar to above but in teams.
  • Capture the Flag : Team we safeguard our flag with soldiers and steal the opposing team keeping our fief few seconds.
  • Manhunt : an all against all in which we find the flag and keep it as long as possible to gain points. There are limit points.
  • Zone control : here will be for equipment and we also we capture and protect three different areas to win.
  • VIP Mode : Team is a captain on each team and must kill the VIP (captain) of other equipment.
  • Bareback : team battle without support equipment or extra abilities. Only basic weapons.
  • War Mode : similar to the control area but this time to some areas we have extra ammo an improved radar and military support.

Paragraph graphic and sound

Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is characterized by but the best one of the best graphics paragraphs for mobile devices today. We have used this game next to Batman to show that a terminal is powerful or falls short. worked very Textures  own special effects of the first PS3 titles and a lot of particles. The game detects the quality that our devices can display and automatically chooses the quality of all textures and fluidity that suits more and better. Whenever we start to play the game smoothly.

BlueStacks and AMD allow install Android on Windows

Run Android on your PC. Not the first time we see something Intel has its own way of seeing things while there are other solutions like Genymotion that let you install Android on any computer either windows linux or mac. Each manufacturer seeks its way to differentiate yourself what is clear is that Android is unstoppable in the race to enter the sector PCs  Until now those who wanted to see an app from Google Play in Windows we installed BlueStacks  a simple and perfect program to play any particular application. With the future release of BlueStacks App Player will spend playing programs to run the full Android operating system  including standard user interface of Android and other components. Amd  

Installing Android on Windows

How is it possible to run Android on Windows? Well the secret is in collaboration with AMD .Inside the new fourth generation APU AMD introduces one Trust Zone  that includes an ARM Cortex A5 chip  the same type of architecture that we see and that allows to install Android on it.A specific optimization BlueStacks leverage to achieve this level of emulation. It is unclear if the next version of BlueStacks will work on other platforms as yield chips that have ARM native code inside. move by AMD that contrasts with the development of its Android x86 Intel. Two antagonistic forms of the two manufacturers that saw their architecture was not compatible with Android and now want to be part of the family.  Over the coming years we will have (those who really want to install Android on PC) a transition period of Android mobile operating system to something more global. What do you think the AMD and BlueStacks maneuver to ally?

300: Embrace the Glory shows our Spartan side in Android

Surely there are few films that can better adapt to video game 300 the film based on the original comic book by Frank Miller which consisted of a succession of action scenes violence and making Spartans Spartans. And yet (with the exception of a title for PSP) we had to wait until the sequel titled 300: Dawn of an Empire to enjoy this action on our Android. 300: Embrace the Glory is an action game how could it be otherwise  where you control the general Themistocles in its mission to prevent the conquest of Greece by the Persians. Nor is it a historically reliable game since the argument is nothing more than an excuse to kill enemies without rhyme or reason. Game In this regard  300: Embrace the Glory is what is known as a "machacabotones" a game in which all you have to do is to eliminate enemies as it exits. Occasionally change of scenery and new enemies appear. But it is thanks to its developers have decided to make a title unpretentious this is capable of entertaining. [app]com.warnerbros.game300ROE[/app] Also I must say that the graphics are pretty good considering that unlike other games here we have some freedom to walk around the stage the downside is that depending on the model it may be that the performance is not adequate . 300: Embrace the Glory serve to get ready for the next film  and considering it is free is a great entertainment to its release.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes to Play

I think I remember playing Spiderman games since I was little though I've never been a big fan of the performances on the big screen this superhero. Naturally with every film release accompanying its corresponding release of the video game industry and this includes our mobile devices like Android. Gameloft is usually responsible for bringing us this adaptation and with the release of  The Amazing Spider-Man 2  is to be expected we already have an official game on Google Play compliant delight the gambler to the saga. The two strong points of the game could be summarized that leave us on our own in a New York fully open and the graphics at their disposal are not short . We will have all kinds of events in which act as superheroes with our spider cobwebs and our abilities so we can face six villains in Marvel ... in a story that goes a little beyond where the development of the film arrives. And I think you can already imagine what will the rest: battles beats combos ... if you are looking for a fast-paced action game than you have already found. Perhaps the only downside is that in addition to the € 4.49 entry costing Google Play the game have payments within the app so we hope you are not required to enjoy the game and finish conditions.

Dungeon Keeper for Android gets an absolute classic but with some changes

No longer do games like Dungeon Keeper. The masterpiece of Peter Molyneux of the time when expectations were fulfilled provoked their games takes a few years without a new release and therefore was unlikely to recur but has done so with an Android version after a time in limbo has been released internationally . The original game was well-liked by the fans and even in The Free Android we consider one of the games that we would like to see more on our platform. Have you met? You need only take a look at the screens to realize that this is not the same to play Dungeon Keeper at the time  despite using the same name. Instead it is adapted to the new times both graphically and playable version. If that is good or bad is something that each player will have to decide but for now if we waited a direct port of the original PC we will disappointed. That does not mean it has not kept anything from the original game as the basis of the game is the same. In Dungeon Keeper are not brave heroes who kill hundreds of enemies while his mane blowing in the wind instead we are the villain of the piece a real demon with too many claims .To our orders will have several types of imps and monsters that abide by our orders in general but we can always give them the motivation beating them mercilessly. The mechanics of the game hence is more like defense towers to a classic strategy game and actually playable changes catch inspiration in simple style titles have appeared so far in Android.And to be free we can expect a good portion of micro payments in the form of actions that need time to complete unless we get out the credit card. The other major change from the original game is the graphics which replaces the darkness and rough models that allowed the computers of the time for a more cartoonish and colorful style. [app]com.ea.game.dungeonkeeper_row[/app] Dungeon Keeper is free and is available on Google Play.Download it and enjoy.

Samsung bicycle charging your phone while pedaling

Not all phones tablets or things to the car. We know that Samsung tucked everywhere and they are able to surprise us with devices that did not think that would take. This time it is the turn to bicycles. Yes those devices with two wheels and a handle. The Korean manufacturer has partnered with Trek Bikes to create a prototype of a bicycle in the dock for the Galaxy Note 3 just on the handlebar is included . In addition to support for placing the phablet Samsung will have a special charger to keep the front wheel on and charging your device while driving. A great solution that harnesses the energy we spend on pedaling to charge mobile in our long walks. A load above allow us to listen to music use the maps or GPS Note itself without fear that their (large) battery pack. In addition to loading we can use the various applications during exercise bike connected to a device to show the vital information such as speed we carry and other distance  making it a very capable crawler. We leave the video (in English) that the guys at Phandroid have been made ??during his visit to CES and where all the benefits and possibilities of this is Trek Domane 6 Series + Note 3 . Samsung says that what is shown is only a prototype and still far from the final design it could take even months to arrive. Currently we believe that they will wait to see the success of wearables devices before launching reimagine classic although very interesting to see how they are already thinking about everything. A sneak peek into the future of cycling seen by Samsung.

Huawei TRON the new Android console that "inspired" in the Mac Pro and Xbox 360

Fashion Android consoles not seem to end but we had a somewhat quiet week in this regard. That ended today with confirmation that a major Chinese manufacturer Huawei is also preparing its own console. So far we have seen independent proposals but now Huawei may well be the first major company to get into the sector. Huawei   And it will do with TRON console cylindrical appearance in black or white but very elegant look we've seen on other devices. And when we say "other devices" we mean "the new Mac Pro" .The similarity is such that it raises many questions particularly because it is not the only element that seems copied directly from other devices as we will see. Perhaps more important is what's on the inside although it has not specified the processor model itself known to use the "Nvidia platform"  so you can expect Tegra 4 together with the usual connectivity options such as wireless Ethernet and Bluetooth. Console   You will also have HDMI and audio jack ports plus a USB 3.0 port that you can use to connect a USB stick or hard drive and use the console as a media player capable of playing video at 4K The controller in turn gives you great tactile control zone in the center  which will be very useful to control the interface or games in which the buttons are not very helpful. Some buttons on the other hand are not surprising and are equally available to the common on these devices.Regarding the software Huawei has developed its own interface to the console  resulting suspiciously familiar to anyone who has played with an Xbox 360. Indeed it is very similar to the Microsoft console and even the icons appear to be similar. For games Huawei is working on getting a decent catalog and says it has already won 12 titles suitable for your store but it is hoped that as in other consoles can also install Google Play games. The TRON Huawei still has no set price but we do know which will go on sale in China in May.Given the popularity of the brand in our market and fashion consoles would not surprise us to play with it during this year

Huawei HiSilicon Processors eight-core 64-bit and LTE 2014

Huawei  the Chinese international manufacturer is ready to launch three new chips this yearincluding his first 64-bit processor HiSilicon to compete against the new Samsung or LG . The information comes from Richard Yu an executive of Huawei announced for the upcoming events.Also in SinaWeibo several screenshots of these products that are ready to present filtered.

Three new processors

The logo will apparently CPU with a quad-core A57 and a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 thus becoming the first 64-bit Octa core market always waiting that Korean factories not progressed. Two chips will also be launched to accompany him but somewhat less power. The first will be another octa-core big.LITTLE ready and will have a quad-core ARM Cortex A15 and another quad-core Cortex A7. The third would be a processor quad-core Cortex A9 for media devices curious range when other manufacturers like Mediatek or Rockchip chips are already using ARM Cortex A12 processors for midrange oriented we'll see how it compared with respect to the latter chip competition. Nvidia Tegra 4i also your stays in Cortex A9 but we think that is the real big fish K1 NVIDIA . cilicon   The three new processors both 64-bit and the other two will be manufactured in 28nm  a big jump from 40nm who had their K3v3 and K3V2. Admitted modems of all types and they have integrated the LTE chip if it was an obligation in 2013 is even more so now. This will multimode LTE which means it will be compatible with both WCDMA networks as those of China Mobile TD-SCDMA.

Availability over 2014

Should be able to learn more about each of these processors during the MWC in Barcelona  when the Chinese company inserted in their mobile CPUs present. Did they really may be racing in 2014 with own manufacture processors?

ZTE Grand S II portable projector with Android Hotspot ZTE

Asian ZTE being felt at the start of  CES 2014  and no wonder. The famous brand of mobile terminals has launched several new devices and one of them back on the market. As you know the CES is a trade show where the best manufacturers show their new devices and ZTE has taken the opportunity. Among mobile devices launched by ZTE must stress the ZTE Grand S II  with high performance and also a wireless portable projector small size.

ZTE Grand S II: 5.5 "Full HD and Quad-Core

ZTE   As you can see from the name the ZTE Grand S II is just the big brother already launched Grand STrue the Grand S and boasted good performance and good quality but the update of this device makes my mouth water. With a screen of 5.5 inches Full HD and processor Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core 800  the ZTE Grand S II is to be noted in the ESC and push through major mobile manufacturers.Undoubtedly the benefits include this phone are quite good matching the flagships of its competitors.

  • Processor:  Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 2.3 GHz
  • Internal memory:  16 GB
  • Back camera:  13 megapixels
  • Front camera:  2 megapixel
  • Battery:  3000 mAh
  • Operating system:  Android 4.3
We must also mention the 13 megapixel camera that incorporates and battery that powers the entire device. Also one of the most important features of this device are the voice commands including. These commands allow you to control your Job Telephone or with your voice and you associate with other giving you the chance to unlock the terminal  take pictures or operate the device . Who knows who is boss. Is unknown for now the availability and pricing of the new ZTE mobile phone company but knowing this will not be an expensive device. Yet as we know something we will let you know.

 Hotspot ZTE Projector projecting from your mobile in 120 inches

Projector   Definitely one of the most surprising so far CES releases. ZTE not surprise stops and launches a new device a projector WiFi access point . This new ZTE device will not only projected video size 120 inches  but also serve as a wifi point for up to 8 users . With a size of  4.7 x 4.7 x 1.1 inches  lets you share videos via internet or connecting to any of our device wirelessly or wired . We may also connect to a laptop via HDMI or via WiFi Display . The advantage of this device is that it supports LTE and WiFi provides high-speed network . In short we need a card with 4G data plan and we will enter it into the projector to act as a WiFi hotspot . One of the disadvantages of the network is that it provides only support up to 8 users connected  but are connected to WiFi network will have an excellent though. This device comes equipped with a 4.0 inch touch screen IPS with which we can handle it and the operating system that is fitted is 4.2 Jelly Bean . In addition the ZTE Hotspot Projector comes equipped with a 5000 mAh battery that provides good video projection length and can also be used as portable battery for your mobile device. Here we show the technical specifications of this new device more briefly. Hotspot Projector Specifications
  • 4G LTE Connectivity
  • Connection of up to 8 users
  • WiFi
  • WPS
  • Screen 4.0 "touch screen with a resolution of 800 ? 480 pixels
  • Size: 120mm X 120mm X 28.5mm

Projector Specifications
  • Projector type: DLP
  • Brightness: 100LM
  • Image size: Over 120 "
  • Resolution: 1080p
  • Contrast Ratio: 1000:1
In my opinion it seems a great idea to launch this device. I think the launch of a portable projector with WiFi Android and qualities of WiFi hotspot is a fantastic idea. Thus we can connect other devices to the home whether phones tablets or computers and display video in a 120-inch screen.When watching movies or some recorded video it must be great to connect using the same WiFi network this projector and your mobile phone for example. Hopefully the ZTE is not much to spend money and be fairly affordable for more buyers. If so I will surely make me one. And you would you have liked the ZTE launched devices at CES 2014? Comment below.

Nearby Google Android feature that detects if we are close to a friend or site

We get an exclusive Android Police interesting. This is Google Nearby a function that is integrated into the Play Services and with which we interact with other people nearby also places and even things. If we add reminders Google Search as the park  while shopping based or contacts we will immediately geo powerful tool. And available for all Android.

What's more we also assure you that this is not any rumor but from fully trusted sources and should receive all the information soon probably during the next Google I / O that looks better every time.

Nearby Google alert if we approach other people places or things

Nearby Google allows us to connect with people or objects nearby . If you activate this function automatically receive notices to be close to sites that we find valuable. Also let others know that we approached.

Google will keep track of positions and create a powerful network of positions perfect for creating communities around places. One idea that has already been carried out by specific apps but with the potential of Google Search another level is reached.

The built-in geolocation social Play Services

Imagine for example that are in our favorite coffee shop and have enabled Nearby. We may get an alert when approaching our partner or eg cafe itself can know that we come and go preparing coffee.

nearby

Nearby could also use the Bluetooth or WiFi to automate actions to certain places .For example logs automatically in the cafeteria or activate the bluetooth to be close to our friend who always had photos. The issue of privacy is important . Google only provide information to the levels we want. Totally public or only our closest circles. This initially limit the scope of Nearby but with the rise of services that make use of it gradually the users would use it. The same happened with the location. The interesting thing is automation Nearby position because we will not have to press and constantly seek not even making check-ins . This opens the door to many businesses whether local home automation and even use the phone own trades. Google has long worked on the idea of ??the Chromebook when approached unlock the Android phone. With Nearby and proximity detection system that could be a reality.Who says a Chromebook says the car.

Lucid Launcher: light and quick to give a different touch to your Android

The launchers what a great way to create a single interface on each device. With them you have no excuse to personalize your Android simple without getting in trouble with ROM's Xposed modules or anything. In Google Play have dozens of different launchers from the most comprehensive and customizable other ultra simple but all different.

The great thing is that there is always some developer able to get a new launcher concept as in the case of Lucid Launcher. Its design is based on vertical columns three in particular: one drawer of applications where a central column "blank" would be the desktop itself where as add widgets and access all installed appear always in second place.

Launcher Lucid

And finally a third section that hides an integrated web browser really easy and very fast which is always there ready to search for anything on the web or access to your favorite websites. To move from one area to another simply swype side we could say that everything is on the main desktop. As a complement on the left side of the screen there is a slide-up panel where it is possible to fix our favorite Apps for quick access to them at any time. On the other hand the top bar is the Apps search to find any application installed writing some letters. Lucid  

As for the settings are not the most complete but may vary slightly aesthetics launcher remove unwanted panels change the layout of icons and colors and little else.It's free but also has a Pro version that unlocks more animations and gestures.

A different launcher that can appeal to those who want something different but at the same time useful  having direct access to the web browser and the preferred Apps luckily only weighs 639k and can give good performance in fairer terminals. That if Lucid Launcher is not suitable for those looking for maximum customization and hundreds of choices.

GO Launcher 5.0 now available on Google Play

There are many launchers on Android. Over time there have been some really impressive but today we will talk about possibly the first launchers that knew how to win the general public. It is GO Launcher and now in its fifth version. One that is already available on Google Play to test and has suffered countless changes.

Go Launcher 5 redesigned deeply

This version of GO Launcher 5.0 is specially created to redesign the look and improve overall performance. Animations have been changed opening times and application installation and startup time are reduced.

We have 3D effects you can choose from thousands of topics and have access to our most used apps via shortcuts . Best we leave the video presentation to give you an idea.

Go Launcher Prime free for 3 days for new users

Leveraging off its fifth version. Until June 1  we can get the paid version which normally costs € 4.33 for free . However this promotion is only for new users who do not already in GO Launcher. launcher What do you think? We believe that this renewal is a good time to try it again and compare it with other launchers.

Samsung is preparing his spectacles dock with augmented reality Oculus

Virtual reality is an untapped field and already several companies who are looking for solutions of all kinds. One is known Oculus VR creator of the famous sunglasses Oculus Rift and that was news a few days ago when it was acquired by Facebook for about 2000 million . The giant Samsung is not going to miss this train and a few weeks ago it was rumored that could be working on a similar device now from Engadget ensure that both companies are sharing technology to improve their products.

According to this report which Samsung is preparing a virtual glasses were full Oculus type but it would be more of a dock a kind of head support where the user would enter the smartphone taking advantage of its hardware. The phone would be placed with facing eyes and obviously the gadget would have different accelerometers and sensors to control without touching the display panel.

Samsung Vr

Glasses where the smartphone is the core

People close to the project say that Samsung would be using the kit specific software for mobile devices Oculus which is still in a very early stage and that the Korean company would have exclusive access. Regarding the design of these glasses-dock remark that will mount some physical buttons as the specifics of Android (Back Home and Multitasking) and other extras. Certainly if we think it is very strange to imagine a phone about 5 inches just a few inches from our eyes but from Engadget ensure that people were able to test the invention using terminals S4 Galaxy and the result is surprisingly good . It would also be possible to use the back camera of smartphones to see through them without having to take off the glasses and could lead to other uses of augmented reality. This idea is more attractive if you can think of it as an accessory since Samsung could sell as a supplement and to a more reduced price lacking all more expensive components like the screen dedicated processor or GPU. As for the controls sensors and motion detectors are given for it but could be fully compatible gamepads or even separate voice actions. galaxy vr

Technology exchange between Samsung and Oculus VR

Okay so the question is what shows Oculus VR helping Samsung? There's obviously something in return and response are screens. Reports indicate that Samsung would be providing panels Oculus OLED extremely small and incredible resolutions higher than 1080p.

Neither party has confirmed this information so for now we must be cautious as this does not mean that Samsung will launch this accessory-dock virtual reality in a few months. We may never see the light but can serve as a basis for development of other products. Can you imagine playing with your smartphone on the head ?

Keyboards come in many types and more on Android. Today we bring you one that is quite out of the canons seen so far. These SwipeWheel an original keyboard and it is based on a concept of wheel-shaped keyboard .

Samsung announces Simband its commitment to sport and health

Samsung today had a health-related event and the sport called " Voice of the Body " .And although they would not present any device yes they have done something. This is creating Simband a reference prototype for use in the gym or the street and give data on the health and our fitness.

Samsung Simband a hardware and software platform for fitness

This move is actually to create a platform dedicated to the standardization of data collection. A movement that contrasts with the movements of Android do in this aspect where since the last Play Services already have a specific API for this.

As usual Samsung has its own solutions to get away from Android. His broad market is its greatest asset and increasingly moving away from Android and closing more applications under SDKs made ??by them but this time yes SAMI  the name of the platform will be open source. Would you leave this movement right?

Simband who need a platform of partners

With the Galaxy S5 and began this course for athletes users. The heart rate sensor still has much room for improvement but with the addition of more technology to their repertoire may well end up also relating to Samsung as a brand for athletes.

The bracelet model is able to monitor blood pressure calculate the amount of oxygen in blood keystrokes and more. This inserted into a database created especially for this may shed a lot of information about the physical condition of the athlete.

Technology

Samsung plans to launch Simband for later this year but will need help from other manufacturers or startups to create prototype-like bracelet that showed business models. Sport is a hot topic and Samsung wants to go all out.His sports-related marketing should prove that it is. What do you think of this move? Are the Android APIs sufficiently complete or Simband this is really a noticeable improvement?

Amazon could present its 3D smartphone on June 18

To present this event Amazon has released a video  for invitations and various users is shown holding it with the hand quite surprised. Obviously neither the device nor the reactions shown are striking.

LG G Watch and Motorola Moto 360: the two that come with Android smartwatches Wear

Two new smartwatches are just around the corner and so we've decided to compile the most up to date information so that you guys can make the right decision.The smartwatches are the G Watch from LG and Motorola Moto 360 which are going to be responsible for giving the go-ahead to Wear Android.Google's new platform that we had a few weeks ago focused exclusively towards these devices to take advantage of some great features .

This is the situation and what we know today of the two smartwatches :

LG G Watch: From June at 199 euros

G watch

From many sources it is confirmed that the South Korean company have decided the date and price of their new smart watch. So the June seems to be the month when it will be launched and the price with 1:1 conversion between dollar and euro will be 199 euros .

Watch the LG G is also known to feature a 1.65-inch screen and 4GB of internal memory and also the screen will be active at all times and be resistant to water and dust. Also available in black and gold.

Motorola Moto 360: tradition and evolution

Unlike most smartwatches we've seen so far the company Motorola proposed a square or rectangular design the Motorola Moto 360 intends to relocate over a clock to your use of the lifetime of course which is going to be intelligent .Thanks to The Verge we could see more closely the gadget and how to stay on our wrist:

The data that have been "releasing" a dropper in recent weeks speak of a OLED display with curved sapphire crystal a chipset signed by Qualcomm and logically Wear Android operating system.

And you dear reader which one do you prefer? Please share opinions of yours with us as Android Peak always eagerly waits for your point of view.

 

The Chamber of Google gets a new update 16:9 and timer

Google launched a few weeks ago the "Camera" application with a completely new design . With it getting that many users could get among other things now known blur effects and focus as the"Dual Camera" HTC One (M8) or the newly introduced LG laser focus G3 highlighted.

Few minutes ago Google has once again updated this app with little change but certainly interesting for some users. First it incorporates sizes supported image formats 16:9  to display the image in full screen although reduced in most cases the number of pixels used.

Google Camera

Secondly one is added option "Timer"  very useful when you want to take pictures with friends acquaintances and not want anyone left out of the picture. According to the website Droid-life  at the moment only has option for 3 or 10 seconds. As you can see it is a minor update but Google keeps a good pace "updates" which gradually shaping a camera application up to the top especially if complemented with the "Photos" application built into the Google Plus social network from which you can edit and add effects to your screenshots. At the time of this writing has not yet appeared in updating although it is expected to start progressively distributed. Google Play | Chamber of Google (Free)

Google Play Services know when we walk and when we run

Google Play Services translated as "Google Services Play" is used to update the Google applications and Google Play . This component provides key features such as authentication for Google services contact synchronization privacy settings and various other things such as better maps and better gaming experience which I believe all very relative.

Today this extension of Google Play has been updated to version 4.4 which together with a new list of API's-Application Programming Interface and services that has added some new features to our smartphones that stand out especially in Google Maps Google Play Games the location service the ads of applications and finally Google Wallet.

Starting with Google Maps API this app has received improvements in the area of location and geolocation . Until now Google Maps could know if our phone was being transported in a car bicycle on foot if we stand ... and now also know if we're walking or running to facilitate the location of our smartphone  opening a range of possibilities for example the Android Wear .

Navigation

On with Google Play Games remember that in the previous version 4.3 Play Games Google implemented the ability to send and receive gifts from other users thus making the gaming experience and use Android to become more social and can have a group of friends to play with our favorite games as the new King's League: Odyssey and collaborate together. In this new version gifts can be sent to multiple recipients . Regarding Google Wallet and to improve purchases in-app not all like us it has improved the function of "instant purchase" introducing new APIs dubbed "Wallet Fragment" so that the develop yourselves can put a faster access to these purchases  giving a boost to Google Wallet and its payment system. Smarter wallet

Then we finish talking about Google-Ads which has improved in the sense that developers can now do shopping promotions in-app advertising of the application  so we can then buy items from it. Also this will favor the application developers better choose their target audience which will bring them a greater amount of active users.

This update was just deployed and certainly take some time to reach all corners of the world but do not worry because eventually coming. If you do not want to wait thanks to Android Police have gotten the APK which can be downloaded from the following links :

If like me I'm a maniac of official applications Google Play Services so you can download totally free on Google Play and if you want you can wait for Google to update it to your device which will soon come

What do you think of this news? What do you think about these services?

Android features that still better than iOS

Apple's new iOS may have blatantly appropriated some of Android's marquee features like the Notifications panel and support for third-party keyboards but it still misses some of what Android users love about the mobile operating system. Your Apple-using friends may try to rub your nose in their shiny new version of iOS on their shiny new iPhone, so here are ten features that Android has that you can retort with.

Better app management

In Android’s Settings menu under Application manager, you can force quit and uninstall apps as you see fit. You can also clear the cache for apps that are acting up, or view how much storage space each app takes up, so if you really don’t want to use Google Chrome as your browser, you can choose something else from the Google Play Store.

Total interface customization


iOS may have a few new neat new interface perks, but the overall interface of Apple’s mobile operating system hasn't evolved much over the years. It's still the same old grid of icons, one stacked after the other. You can't hide apps, and you still have to cycle through various screens to find the app you want to use. You can’t even change the icons or really customize how things appear, save for changing the wallpaper.

Transit directions in Maps


android transit Don't feel like taking the bus? Take the subway! Don't feel like taking the subway? Take an Uber! Google Maps offers many options.Apple may have fixed its Maps app since its disastrous launch in iOS 6, but when you ask it for directions it still won't tell you how to get there by bus. Google Maps offers options for different types of transit, too, so if you decide to take a boat, bus, or train to get to where you're going, you're covered. And while some might not be too crazy about the fact that there's Uber integration in Google Maps, at least you have the option to call for a ride when you're in a bind.
