Tablets Kote 14 March 2011 | 12: 08 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Last week we presented you the same survey conducted by the people of IHS iSuppli with Motorola Xoom, one of the main competitors of iPad 2, cost component was close to $360. Today we share with you the estimate on Apple's new product: $ 325.

The estimated price that give us is for the 32 GB with connectivity model 3 G, United States out of 729 dollars, more than double the cost estimated by components. Again I would like to comment that it is a study more interesting than real, that helps us compare with other teams. In it are they left out lots of expenses: advertising, labor, design, development, distribution, etc.

Specified us a couple of different values in the source, depends on whether the team is the operator Verizon, $323.35, or good of AT & T, $326.60 (uses more expensive connectivity hardware). For this reason we have decided to round off with the figure.

Values that give us that think that Apple has much room for manoeuvre in the benefits, although the above-mentioned expenses are not included. But it is not very different from what we see in the competition, in one quick comparison have the equivalent Motorola Xoom which sells for about $800.

There are very different forms of distribution, between the two gadgets that Apple runs with the cost and infrastructure of their own shops, and that also influences the final price, for their benefit is that you have to pay less middlemen.

Entering components, says that the cost of the new A5 is 75% higher than the Apple A4, according IHS iSuppli has a cost of $ 14. This morning we presented you the higher price in which moves Nvidia Tegra 2 and the new Intel Atom.

There is no mention to other elements of the SoC as the new graphics processor from PowerVR, that you have more information and an interesting comparison in Applesfera. Always bearing in mind that (top in Xoom) screen resolutions quite influence the final results of the benchmarks.

Logically the most expensive component remains the touchscreen, the IPS panel developed by lg Display has a cost of $127. Despite being almost the same as the first iPad, in that it was a cost of $95 (April 2010), what other aspects (refinement, improvements in design, materials...) have raised the price of the same.

Camera modules, discussed by his photographic work, quality, since they are clearly focused on the use of Facetime leaving $ 4.80. The memory of the iPad 2 also comes from Samsung, with NAND (DRAM…) total cost of 65.70 dollars. I leave you with a table in which are collected all these components and which are missing:

Finally I leave links to other gadgets that have passed through the hands of iSuppli, as the tablet samsung galaxy tab, with 205 dollars of cost, a nokia n8, 188 dollars, the same as that estimated for an iPhone 4.

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.

Portable Kote 14 March 2011 | 09: 49 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

I guess that I will not be the only one who has to take a look at the website to determine what model we are talking about when I find an asus eeepcnetbook, develop many versions where changes just a letter, it is good that we are including in our page each one of the models.

The last to arrive are the Asus EeePC 1015B and 1215B, as we can be deduced from its name the first model is 10.1 inches and the second from 12.1 inches. The most important developments coming for the use of the amd fusionchipset.

We remind you that hide behind the AMD Fusion name APU (accelerated processing units) which AMD and ATI are developing, and are characterized by inclusion in the same package of the processor, 3D acceleration, and other functions of GPU.

In the case of the model Asus EeePC 1015B uses the APU Ontario C-30, who works at 1.2GHZ and has a single core. There will also be a version is available with the Ontario C-50, dual-core, this time to 1 GHz. both models have inside a GPU Radeon HD 6250.

If we're going to the Asus EeePC 1215B model, opts for the dual-core Palapas, specifically the model E-350, which runs at GHz, accompanied by a graphic Radeon HD 6310. We have wanted to see the actual return in power and autonomy of the latest developments of AMD.

The storage capacity on all models is 500 GB, and with regard to memory, the model of 12.1 inches can find it in configurations of 2 and 4 GB, while the small will be available with 1 or 2 GB of DDR3 RAM.

Common specifications are Wi-Fi connectivity n, webcam of 0.3 megapixel camera, HDMI output, Bluetooth 2.1 (3.0 in some models), as well as 3-port USB 2.0 and one 3.0.

As regards autonomy, the model of 10.1 inches comes with a battery 3 cells (23W/h), expandable to 6-cell option. In the latter case, the chip C30 (56W/HR) has a range of 8.5 hours, and with the C50, 7.5 hours. The Asus of 12.1 inches comes standard with 6-cell and has a range of 8 hours.

We do not forget to report on the screen, in the case of the model resolution small we are left with 1024 × 600 pixels, while the EeePC 1215B we are going to the most appropriate for HD content consumption, 1366 × 768 pixels.

We end up with specifications, talking a little about their size, they move in that because we have seen in previous Asus EeePC, and it is that the design has not changed too as you can see in the images. We go with the data:

ASUS 1015B, 62 × 178 × 23.6 ~36.4 inch, 1.28 kg (3 cells) and 1.30 kg (6-cell) Asus 1215B, 296 × 203 × 38 mm and 1.45 kg with 6-cell battery option.

Now we have no knowledge of prices or dates of availability, but we know that they are products which end up appearing in major markets, so we look forward to his departure to inform you. Needless to remind that the teams work with Windows 7.

HTC Pyramid, Prime and Ignite, do new phones?

Mobile Kote on March 15, 2011 | 19: 13 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

What we see here, a pair of terminals Windows Phone 7, and another Android, all signed by HTC. We cannot say with absolute certainty that these recreations are real, but they have all the earmarks are Yes, achieved them, and by that any of the phones are awaiting them.

If it is confirmed its authenticity can report that the Taiwanese company is betting strong by the operating system of Microsoft with a model with a QWERTY keyboard, the htc Prime, and other touch, htc ignite. But on these two points out a htc pyramid, from which we have already spoken a few weeks ago.

The specifications accompanying the news already we fiamos a little less, and it is that some details not marry the requirements imposed by Microsoft, even so we are going to share with you:

Perhaps we see in the next CTIA, it's a terminal with QWERTY keyboard and touch screen of 3.7 inches (WVGA), 512 MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, accompanied by flash.

The four rows of features a new design with respect to what we have seen on other models of the firm in Taiwan, such as the HTC Pro 7 or Desire Z, with a few keys something most "panoramic" and oval.

According to the source of the news, the web china XDA.cn, the Ignite HTC has a resistive screen of 3.7 inches, question of which we have our doubts. Yes we can report that its resolution is WVGA, like the rest of Windows Phone 7 phones.

The specification refers to a processor 800 MHz, 512 MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera, nothing out of the ordinary. As you can see, its appearance is that of a "chassis 1" of Windows Phone 7 phone.

HTC Ignite could appear on the market by mid-2011.

We have been reading on this terminal, but the truth is that he had never put face specifications coming to us are so strange. First of all have a screen of 4.3-inch Qfhd resolution (960 × 540 pixels).

In the part of process refers to a 1.2GHz processor, we have no doubt that it will be signed by Qualcomm, but what we cannot know is if it is an anti-wrinkle version of what you already know, or are committed for the first time to the dual-core. The RAM is 768 MB, and the front camera of 1.3 megapixel camera.

A detail that is not consistent in the information is that they put Android Honeycomb as operating system, the version for Android tablets, would make more sense even to speak of Ice Cream. In any case, if the models were real, and a little following the trajectory of HTC, they come with Gingerbread.

Sure that the next CTIA in Orlando which is held between September 21 and March 24 will have more information about any of them, and it is that if you look now they are beginning to appear leaks of new devices, such as the Motorola of a few hours ago.

Updatein Android and Me refer to the hardware could be a Qualcomm MSM8 × 60 1.2GHz and dual-core. If so it would be the first to reach the range of HTC, I am sure that expected by many.

HP opal: HP will also put a 7-inch with WebOS tablet

Tablets WhisKiTo 14 March 2011 | 18: 51 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

HP TouchPad will have a little brother. You already seen it coming and little by little is confirmed, although the wait to get it in stores yet aims to be long. HP Opal is the name of development, although it is expected to change before it reaches the device to the market.

It is known that it will be 7 inches and that it will have a size of around 180 × 144 × 13 mm, perhaps a bit wide for the great competitor who stays in the 0.86 inches. The screen can be one of the strong points, because it will have higher tablet resolution but these 7 inch discussed: 1. 024 × 768. It will of course be capacitive type and we hope that also multi-touch. Can you imagine a tablet with a resistive? It would be digging its own grave, the less.

Few details are known of Opal HP apart from those who commented here. WebOS is an excellent operating system and has one of its strengths in tablet-mobile synchronization. HP is a giant, one of the most veteran and knows well to do his work, although it should not be forgotten that TouchPad is its first tablet and Opal aims to be the second. In the Tablet market no one is giving away nothing and no one is going to do in the future.

Initially expected that HP Opal is launched to the market in the month of September, but this date is not official and may be modified in the future. Its price is still completely unknown, but by reference to the rumors that put the TouchPad in the range of $500 to 600 Opal should be substantially cheaper.

Note: the header image is the current HP Touchpad, as Opal still has not been officially submitted.

The external disk Lacie Little Big Disk, the first with Thunderbolt, arrives in summer

Peripherals Txaumes on March 14, 2011 | 14 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

I already commented a few days ago that LaCie would be the first company to launch a device compatible with the new connection Thunderbolt developed by Intel and Apple platform. It's a version of the lacie Little big disk. Unfortunately, you still need to wait until summer to ensure that the owners of some of the new Apple computers can plug this Little big disk.

With casing of aluminum and the usual design of the House, the lacie Little big disk Thunderbolt version weighs less than 500 grams and incorporates two units SSD Intel 510 of 250 GB. What seems a beastly boasted in a matter of storage is reasonably necessary in the light of the transfer speeds of Thunderbolt, with two bidirectional channels to a bandwidth of 10Gbps. The system is able to transfer a film in high definition media in about 30 seconds.

Thunderbolt at the same time incorporates protocols PCI Express and DisplayPort, and it is capable of making copies of records of considerable weight and transmit, for example, high definition films simultaneously. Lacie has not revealed only the price. With two internal drives in solid state and this capacity, we can venture that it will not cheap.

Accessories Jesus Leon 15 March 2011 | 20: 15 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Iomega has revamped its line of hard drives for desktop with the Prestige Desktop Hard Drive 3.0series, as evidence has the USB 3.0 connection your main claim (in the same line as the of Pocket already discussed). It is devices with a stylish design in polished black but who has looked his metal construction to make them resistant and robust.

In addition to the above-mentioned main feature with the new interface 3.0 (up to 5 3Gbits/s, which is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0), including the pack of Iomega Protection Suite with antivirus software and backup software, as well as by 256-bit AES hardware encryption.

This renewed Prestige series of Iomega is a solution affordable, with prices restrained in their three available capacities: 1TB (89,90 EUR), 2 TB (129,90 EUR) and 3TB (209,90 EUR). What we must add the posibilidiad of 3-year limited warranty (registered product). Your speed with the 3.0 is something far compared with the recent Thumberbolt that Lacie is going to captain, but for the benefits offered and the price it is postulated as a competition, rather than interesting for those who do not need a special transfer speed.
