I do not think that there are many doubts about the success of the tablets in the market, but there is still much cake for sharing and all the protagonists, from hardware manufacturers to creators of operating systems, are aware of this.

Bets of Google and Apple are clearly winning horses, but we must not forget that Microsoft is preparing its way. The from Redmond, as usual in their operating systems, go in the first instance for X 86 architectures, hand in hand with Intel.

Intel has ready his latest development within the family Atom, known as Oak Trail, with the internal name of Z670 for the higher performance model. On the chip, and as the reason for this news, has been leaked that it will be priced at $ 75, in the face of manufacturers.

This price represents a value higher than the previous Atoms, and more expensive than other alternatives "not Intel". We more important comparison can do with the more widespread chipset (if we leave aside the A4 chip) on the market of the tablets: Nvidia Tegra 2.

Famous dual-core based on ARM Cortex-A9 is priced at around $ 20 for manufacturers, and their balance power/autonomy is difficult to beat for Intel options.

Ultimately, three times more expensive, by what we think we really need Intel to adjust the prices of the new processor to be competitive in the market, which we should remember that hand in hand with Windows 7, it also entails the payment of license.

If we consider that in addition to Nvidia we have Texas Instruments and Qualcomm welcoming to the rest of tablets on the market, the space for Intel is shrinking, not to mention the intentions NVIDIA with its Project Kal - El, with Quad before the end of the year.

Most important benefits of the Intel Atom Z670 are their 1. 66 GHz (single core, 2 threads), 512 KB of cache memory and a 5W TDP thermal design power. Although we are talking about a processor, it will be distributed within a SoC (System on Chip).

Some products already presented to used Oak Trail are tablets and netbooks from major manufacturers, good friends with Microsoft, such as Asus, Acer and Samsung. We highlight some of them like Samsung PC7, MSI WindPad 100W, or Fujitsu Stylistic Q550.

Intel Oak is not only the hardware that arises as ideal for tablets and netbooks that use Windows 7 operating system, is also a reference for MeeGo products that have to go out to the market. Please remember that Intel also is developing to Medfield, a geared more to the Smartphone platform.

In addition to MeeGo version 1.2, they advance us that to Google's operating system support will in future come in their latest versions, as they are turning to Intel processors.

Curious this filtration is that previously had been informed that the price would be about $ 25, a very competitive price for a chipset based on x 86, of low power consumption architecture. With the use of MeeGo, an operating system that does not have to pay license, you could put affordable products on the market. It seems that at the end the accounts will come out slightly higher.

Motorola has three Smartphones Android in the oven

Mobile Kote on March 15, 2011 | 15: 01 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Motorola is pure productivity since Android came to his life, if not we have recovered two phones more important and powerful of the past fairs, Motorola Droid Bionic and Atrix 4 G, they already have three others in the line of departure.

Two of the Smartphones will come to replace phones on the market, such as the Motorola Droid 2 and the X Droid, which unfortunately are taking to reach our country. The third appears to be a completely new terminal which goes by the name of Targa.

The renewal of the phones will come more or less a year of its existence, in summer, and has all the earmarks that the names of Motorola Droid 3 and Droid X 2, will be received to keep us in the range. The first will feature sliding QWERTY keyboard, to continue the habit.

While the second utilzará the new screens qHD (960 × 450 pixels) 4.3 inches, and dual-core processor, we bet on Nvidia Tegra 2. As I talk about it a few weeks ago, under the name in the key of Daytona.

If we're going to the mysterious Targa (first image), they tell us that her strong will be in 4 G connectivity, and in the presence of a Chamber of considerable dimensions, as you can see in the images. Refers to that module will be 13 megapixel.

On the motorola targa not miss the camera front for video calls, and output HDMI. In view of its possible photographic direction, some already will be crossing fingers that come with Xenon flash.

I have no doubt that all phones will come with Gingerbread as operating system. As phones seem to be related to American carriers, possibly know more about them at end of month, during the CTIA show that takes place between the days from 21 to 24 April.

Sony introduces three new speakers for PC, basic and affordable

Speaker Jesus Leon 10 March 2011 | 22: 15 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Sony has launched to expand its range of loudspeakers for PC with three new models very simple and they are affordable. While they are two distinct lines, sharing its basic spirit. On the one hand we have the srs-a3, small, compact, with 5 watts of power and a digital amplifier. They are speakers for those who do not strive for complications or an exceptional design, as they stand out for their black classic and sober lines.

On the other hand, the srs D series with two new models, they are a somewhat different concept. More power, better output level and serious, adding the possibility to control the settings. The two models, the srs-d4 and srs-d5 are systems of speaker 2.1, with 27 W and 40 W respectively. And this model, the SRS-D5 something bigger and with different design. Both have a more careful finish and higher quality sound. Although share the main characteristic of being simple systems responsible for putting sound to our computer equipment but without a display of performance or design.

However, the three models are basic systems with affordable prices that range from 30 to 60 euros and will be available in store from the month of April.

XFX offers its support to three monitors and AMD Eyefinity

Accessories, screens WhisKiTo on March 6, 2011 | 17: 35 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

It was little more than a couple of years ago when XFX announced that he was associated with AMD, by then ATi, aside from manufacture models NVidia. The Alliance has come to such an extent that the then traditional Alliance XFX-NVidia has already been forgotten altogether and the manufacturer now focuses entirely on AMD products.

One of the most curious and interesting of the own AMD technologies is Eyefinity technology, on which much discussed and that is to have multiple video outputs for each graphics card to be used in configurations of up to 6 monitors at the same time. This XFX has submitted a support for three monitors 24-inch, something a priori as simple as a metal structure that holds devices to put them to the user. Simple? The logic tells us that Yes, but in practice the prices of these accessories are extremely high. In the case of the new model from XFX talking around 400 euros, then added the cost of each monitor.

This new support has not yet appeared on the official website of the manufacturer, but has been submitted (or at least shown) in CeBIT 2011. Is it expensive? Yes for the average user, but as we have discussed these housings are not cheap accessories. They are usually oriented to the professional sector and that is something to have it in our homes to pay for it expensive.
