Intel put 3D scanners in tablets and Smartphones in 2015

3D scanners
A lot of work and new ideas from Intel has been working for some time on developing a 3D scanner, which is due to the extremely small size can fit into any slim mobile device (tablet or smartphone). The primary goal of the company is ready to have this new technology and fully operational by 2015 and to transfer it to the tablets, the CEO of Intel, Brian Krzanich, within the institution MakerCon 2014 New York, indicate that the that technology will come to mobile phones. 

"We want to have a tablet out there that can buy anyone and to have this opportunity. Within two or three years, we hope to be able to put this feature in a smartphone », a part of what he said before the public, Mr.. Krzanich. 

The CEO of the company and some of his colleagues who make up the core planning team, I did a little demonstration of the technology, with one of his assistants to rotate a tablet around a man and this in turn to record and captures the screen in the official three-dimensional form. They pointed out that the three-dimensional models can then be easily processed through special software or sent directly to a 3D printer. The name is attributed to the implementation are «RealSense». 

The basic idea is to enable future users of this technology to capture anytime the 3D model they like. It is estimated that the tablets with integrated 3D scanners will reach the hands of consumers in the third or fourth quarter of 2015, with Intel while working on integrating 3D scanning cameras and drones. 

The predecessor of tablets with 3D scan mode was announced earlier this month, talking about the Dell Venue 8 7000 series Android tablet, which will be available by the end of this year.

One of the new features in Android L will be automatically encrypt data

Android L
Following revelations on electronic intercepts the NSA, is a natural and next to no longer have confidence in our portable devices, or at least treat them with suspicion. The Google company as a literal data management is always the first accused (not without a lot of times) in these cases the shot to catch everything and Android. Stays close to the situation then, Google announced today that the upcoming version of Android L will encrypt out-of-the-box data of our device, to avoid not only watch but also phenomena such as Heartbleed. Aside from the obvious increase in operating safety, this is a smart move on the part of the company, mainly because in any request for waiver of confidentiality by agencies of the state, will not be able to give them our data, as well as the unique decryption key will be located in our device. Locks that substance and herself from the outside. This option already exists in the security settings of Android, but the Android L will necessarily activated when you first set up the device. But the question is: "Since Google has already made its debt to us by adding this option to Android, because it should be enforced?" There has certainly become clear during the set-up if you choose "Yes" or "No" or simply informs us that encryption is mandatory, but it is an arrangement that will both help to increase the security of Android, but the other may create problems for power user who frequently change custom ROM.

Meizu MX3 Review


Can we Chinese smartphone inferior than those officially coming to Europe, but few models exist to refute us. The Meizu MX3 is not just one of them, but perhaps the ultimate example of exceptional design combined with quality features, from China last year. 

The characteristics of the MX3 is not anything terrible, firstly because it is a last device, and secondly because we see things and miracles this year from other manufacturers. It has to be said that has given special attention to the most important gadgets of the Exynos processor built Samsung, which is the same as the Galaxy S4 I9500 and the camera which is built Sony. So at least we know that apart from the appearance, there is a serious "engine" that drives the smartphone and we will not leave us in the middle of the street. 


Features 
Processor: Oktapyrinos Samsung Exynos 5410 @ 1.6GHz A15 & 1.2GHz A7 
GPU: PowerVR SGX544MP3 
Memory: 2GB RAM - 16/32/64 / 128GB storage 
Display: IPS 5.1 "@ 1080 x 1800p (412ppi) 
Camera: Rear 8MP with LED flash, 2MP front 
Connectivity: 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS (GLONASS), NFC, microUSB (MHL, OTG) 
Battery: 2400mAh 
Dimensions: 139 x 71.9 x 9.1mm - 143g 
Operating System: Android 4.4.4 (Flyme 3.0) 

Summary Characteristics but not the most important advantage, in terms of appearance as well give change. It is a very nice phone, for that matter, much like the iPhone 3GS. It is quite lightweight, yet rugged, no corners so they can grab is pleasant to the touch, while the rounded back of the joy of rest. Most importantly of all though is the fact that it gives you the feeling that it is one piece, no matter if the back cover is detached and in no case resembles ftiniariko. We saw other smartphone with glossy (shiny) back, for example Xiaomi Redmi Note, but did not have the quality of MX3. Great idea is also touch key on the front which can lock and unlock the screen with a touch, avoiding rubbing the button Power. Those who have iPhone which has spoiled the Power or Home button I think I understand how important it is that touchpoint. 

The software now have the custom ROM called the Meizu Flyme OS. This is a clean, convenient and above all beautiful ROM which resembles the iOS but not as much as the MIUI. A key feature is the smartbar at the bottom, which is actually the navigation bar of the stock Android, except that upon the various buttons appear, depending on the application you have open. Actual "smart" bar! Where we have opened one full screen application, like YouTube for example, smartbar disappears and use the main function key to get out of this by pressing once to return to the home screen or dragging it up if we want to take a step back. 

And the top bar, however, doing the tricks as well if you hold the device in landscape and we have an open browser, for example, we can go back by pressing the left top corner to display the browser menu by pressing the right (where the clock is ). Smart little things that make the difference. 

Another clever feature of the integrated way to do root! Just go to device settings, choose "Open system privileges >>  "Accept" thats it! Easy, quick and something that should be there for years to Android. Finally there is an easier way to do a manual update on the MX3. Download the package, you get into recovery and choose the flashes and you press "OK" in the window that will show you! TPO-TO-PC !!! 

And he talked about the upgrades MX3 started with version 4.2.2 Jellybean today wears 4.4.4 KitKat, via a beta channel which is updated every week, for about two months. Regardless whether recently announced the MX4, there are no announcements for stopping upgrades MX3 but which I do not think to go to Android L.

What we did not like? 
It may be that more overall quality we have seen so far from China, but that does not mean it is perfect. First the processor which is quad on paper, but the four cores "sleep" permanently. According to Meizu, we are awaiting an update from Samsung which will unlock and the other four cores, so you will see fallen stats to benchmark. 

The battery is also a controversial situation as with some of the frequent updates kept us a half day, but others xeligonontan until evening. You might blame the beta channel update, I do not know. Finally the camera which may have a lot of quality lens and sees several good photos that attitude, but the lack of auto focus in the video is less irritating. Nice HDR, nice burst mode but Hey Meizu ... auto focus. The conclusion that I could not fit more words about the pluses and minuses of. It is a very high quality construction with advanced software that just needs some little job yet. What we have is the model of 16GB, which is brought before 5-6 months from China to 300 euro and now you can even find them at $ 260 (about 210 euros). It's a good case that deserves to keep in mind while you hear that starts and the movement in Greece. Come and see. However, if you decide you will find everything in the forum Meizu fans.

Looking for free and Offline GPS navigation on Android; Try NavFree

NavFree

Once appeared in Android and really broke buying GPS devices, as there was no longer any reason for its existence, constantly looking for the best solution at the software now. Can we have the excellent Google Maps, but what I really want is a free application that works without internet connection. 

The NavFree is one such application that is as smart screen, and does all that interest. Uses based maps of Open Street Map, a service which operates under the license Creative Commons, one of the freest license circulating software. On this team NavFree built the navigation service, which has the following useful features: 
  • Full navigation system with voice 
  • Beautiful high-resolution maps, 
  • Quick route calculation with automatic recalculation if we lose our way, 
  • Running gait when walking, 
  • Address search with or without an Internet connection. 
  • Landmarks using the Foursquare ... 

and ... all these (except Foursquare) without the requirement of Internet connection! 

Can be freely available but there are some services that are paid and include traffic updates, voices surnames, security cameras on the street, integrated Google street view and more. 

So it is relatively complete, is free and is probably the best solution for the economy, especially if you take a trip abroad and need a map. The maps of Open Street Map have small mistakes but we can login to the official page and correct, helping to develop the service.

HTC Eye Leaked raw information (Rumors)

HTC Eye

A few days ago, we learned that HTC is preparing a mysterious event on October 8. In this event seems about to present a new selfie device called HTC Eye. Now we come to light new information about this smartphone, known byupleaks.

According to the leaker, the company's upcoming smartphone will have a 5.2-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 1080p. This means that the pixel per inch will reach 423 For the position of SoC, seems to be predominant at 801 with the Qualcomm Krait 400 quad-core processor and Adreno 330 GPU.

At present these are the only information we have, but certainly until the day of the presentation, will be released and others, both on the characteristics of, and for displaying.

Practical Tips: Preparing the device for receiving the iOS 8

iOS 8

The iOS 8 is just around the corner, with the widespread availability has been officially announced on September 17. So it is a good time to prepare our devices for big update for the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod touch. Before we proceed to the transition to the redesigned new operating system, you need to check the compatibility and do a cleanup and to our iOS device. Here we present six steps ca preparation reception iOS 8, we consider necessary and would suggest to follow religiously. 

Check the compatibility of your devices 

The list below does not seem to have changed since the first release of the new operating system. So make sure that if you hold the device included in the list below. Specifically iOS 8 is compatible with the following devices: 

iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5S, 6 and 6Plus 
iPad 2,3,4, Air, iPad mini & mini 2 
iPod touch 5th gen 

Something to note here. That is the older model iPhones and iPads compatible as anaferentai list does not mean that it is necessary to upgrade now. Friendly advice from our experience, one such upgrade would be good owners of older models, waiting for the next version (8.0.1 or 8.0.2) which will solve problems and speed display. This may not apply to iOS 8, but it is good to raise. 

You have already beta version of iOS 8 

Polloi you may have installed some of the demos (formally or informally). You should know that all trial versions expire. Once the trial expires the phone becomes inoperable. You either have to downgrade the version (downgrade), or to upgrade to the final test GM. 

Both options are easy to measure. In the first one, put your device in DFU Mode and then select restore from iTunes, while the second will have to search for the final test in the known - unknown points. We can not report on that. Not available OTA as previous demos. 

Scrub iOS applications 

Not to be claimed, it would be such magor updates, and satisfy one given the opportunity to do a cleanup and applications that we have in our device. I think it's understandable. Remove applications from both the iPhone and the iPad which is not in use, freeing up considerable space on your device and arrange the rest, is a chance! There is no risk of loss because all the applications that you have purchased, you can re-download at any time without the need to physically xanaplirosete. 

Copying Photos and Video on your PC 

These days most of us use the iPhone as your primary camera and video camera. This means that many memories of our trips or moments are there and of course we would not want to miss. The Photostream for many is a misunderstood service and also keeps only the last 1000 photos. In this service hitherto supported video. 

The best thing to do is to copy it to your computer, and Video as many photos you want to save, whether you have Mac or windows. Alternate you can use services like Dropbox or Cloud where it is necessary to use a computer. 

Double backup on iTunes and iCloud 

I recommend you keep double Backup as minimize the chance of losing your data. Make a Local Backup to iTunes and a Backup to iCloud, if you want to remove your device for any reason. The Backup devices are very easy on any Apple device. 

Backup in iTunes: Connect your device to the computer> select in iTunes> click "Back Up Now" 
Backup to iCloud: go Settings> iCloud> Storage and copies> "Copy iCloud" 

Always keep backup before doing any update on your device. It is particularly important, especially for large upgrades such as iOS 8. 

Update and Install iOS 8 

You are now ready and willing to proceed with the upgrade to the iOS operating system iOS 8. The installation process is now very simple via OTA as usual and will be widely available on September 17th ie tomorrow. On the other hand if you are a developer you can install the final trial GM from Apple. Now if you are impatient there is another method by making clean install now, but do not recommend the longer expect tomorrow as official. Anyway wish you great enjoyment as the iOS 8 is expected to bring many new features to our devices.

Apple Officially announced final version of iOS8 available for the general public

Apple iOS8 Final version of iOS 8 is available today, the main annual upgrade of the younger generation mobile operating system from Apple. The iOS 8 is definitely the most important update of the year from the last fully redesigned version of iOS 7 exactly one year ago. 

Some of the key features of the upcoming release are photos, Messages, smart keyboards, the Family Sharing, the new design, the iCloud Drive, the new application preinstalled Health, function and Handoff Continuity. In new chaktiristika can prosthetsete the hotspot between devices when there is no possibility of Wi-Fi, the renewed Spotlight newcomer and other features. 

There are some defterefnta which had not been mentioned in the presentation as battery usage per application, pans on iPad, Safari private browsing tab at the newcomer and application tips. 

Significant improvement for Greeks accepted the Siri as the upcoming version will fully support the Greek language in the dictation. This means that very soon it seems that Apple's virtual assistant will speak our language. Another feature that we found is the inclusion of the song recognition service Shazam, which has the ability to recognize a song from the sound to the environment that you are giving you the opportunity to buy it from iTunes. And of course we do not stop here. 

Drivers who use virtual assistant during the driver was forced to supply even for a little attention in order to activate Siri. Now you can enable it with a phrase, ala "Ok Google", saying "Hey Siri". This means that your device always expects ts commands, but do not know if this charge and the battery life. 

Sure is a surprising tool for times when one is not able to touch the device. Important here to emphasize that the device should be connected source. Besides the Greek supplement that recognizes the Siri dictation from a total of 24 languages ​​and 22 has voice recognition. 

Devices that support the operating system iOS 8:
Apple iOS8
  • iPhone 4s
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 5c /5S
  • iPhone 6 / 6Plus
  • iPad 2
  • iPad 3rd generation
  • iPad Mini with Retina Display
  • iPad Air
  • iPad Mini
  • iPad 4th Generation
  • iPod 


Like all upgrades can be downloaded OTA (Over thw Air) or by connecting your device to iTunes and clicking Update. We in any case recommend to do a clean install and so on the eve of the user posting the presentation upgrading the basic preparation steps

Last advice before installation, be patient as quick to upgrade millions of users simultaneously.

Therefore, following the revision of the estimates Sony expects total losses of 2.1 billion dollars for the fiscal year ending March 2015. 

The reports that Sony has revised the damage and will offer new strategies in order to reduce as much as possible the risk and volatility and bring more stable earnings. Thus, it intends to focus more on premium devices-they will probably reduce the entry-level and mid-range devices. The category of financial devices the Sony (along with Samsung) faces stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers and even devices like Motorola Moto G. 

Recently renewed its flagship launching the new Sony Xperia Z3 which are waiting to see whether it would help.

Here comes the Nexus 6 and upgraded Nexus 5

You do not need any more evidence to be convinced that the Nexus 6 smartphone is beginning to show on the horizon, since the information is constantly enriched. Still, a Canadian telecommunications company when asked why the Nexus 5 is no longer in their support page, they said that most of this model does not have stock and have withdrawn from their stores, so visitors will not find it available for sale. 

Indeed the Wind Mobile in reply to a customer through Twitter said that not many available pieces of Nexus 5 and stated that it no longer produced. Marching for this fall, Google may be preparing the arrival of the new Nexus 6 on the international market and has probably "kill" the existing Nexus smartphone to prepare the ground on the new model. To upcoming Nexus will be built by Motorola on behalf of Google and the code name is Shamu. 

The Wind has said it will last as long as this situation on depletion nor said if the production of particular mobile is finally finished. For obvious reasons, the conversation has been deleted, but that is far above the posted screenshot to prove that all these have been said. 

Whether the Google intends to downgrade the previous flagship not know, however, anyone who wants to acquire the Nexus 5 let's do it now simply because later you might be left by the wayside.

The only difference between the two models is that the 735 supports LTE networks, while the 730 is dual-SIM and supports networks up to 3G. 

The presentation of the devices starting with the Samsung criticizing the notorious selfie the Oscars, as they were good quality. The Microsoft, the Lumia 730 and 735 gives a solution to this problem, both thanks to the hardware, and software used. 

Lumia 735 & 730The technical characteristics, we find two models with 4.7-inch screen and resolution 1280 x 720.

Nokia Lumia 830, an "Economic Flagship"


Nokia Lumia 830
The Lumia 830 presented including the Microsoft, the world's first Lumia event made​​. The new smartphone, characterized by the American company 'economic flagship ", it combines high-end features at an affordable price.

It is the sequel to the Lumia 820 combines "the best of the Lumia and the latest technology of Microsoft». It is very thin, with a thickness of 8.5 mm and 'convenient pocket "as written in the presentation. The screen is 5 inches and resolution 1280 x 720 pixels, technology ClearBlack IPS.

In terms of software comes with Windows 8.1, and even with the latest version, Lumia Denim embedded MS Office. In this device, Microsoft has focused on photography skills, especially compared with Google's camera iPhone 5S. 

Will it remove the Nokia brand to the next WP devices

Nokia next WP devices
Acquiring section devices and services Nokia, Microsoft plans to implement new changes as the brand for the next device, which of course is not surprising, new owner, new name. 

This will not take long to happen, as the software giant so far retained the brand of Nokia and Nokia Lumia 830 and Nokia Lumia 730 which occurred only last week. However, a rumor claims that this will be the last two smartphones that will be written on the name of the Finnish Nokia, later this trade mark would be "lost". According to the leaked document from within, from the festive season and the campaign will take place then, the Nokia name will disappear. Not likely to happen, however, the same with the brand Lumia, which indeed will remain unchanged. 

Deal of particular interest last July when an informal photograph Lumia 830 saw the back of the phone as the logo «Nokia By Microsoft», but the normal name is Nokia. Maybe it was a strategic move for Microsoft is suggesting that a significant change. So very likely to see new Microsoft Mobile devices to be called plain or Microsoft Lumia Lumia. 

Similar plans for renaming seems to have Microsoft and named Windows Phone, which wants to remove entirely the word Phone. So the mobile operating system called Microsoft Windows, as well as the desktop OS. 

Reasonable to prefer a common name, since Microsoft expressed long ago its intention to join the two operating systems, so you need to have a common name to not distinguish between them. 

Update: And while we were talking yesterday about Microsoft's plans to wipe the Finnish brand Nokia the upcoming device and the word Phone from Windows Phone, you can show this information be confirmed as leaked photos showing the front panel of a device that bears the brand of Microsoft. 

The photographs come from the French site NowwhereElse if the look closely we see a great device with very thin margins around the screen, it may be the next flagship Microsoft or it could also be the descendant of Lumia Icon / Lumia 930. True or misleading the images above? I did not know at the moment, so we suggest be wary.

The scorecard for Apple Watch 
Fashion: The Apple CEO Tim Cook repeatedly stressed that the Apple clock is made to be used and has many customizable features. Also, watch Apple will have six different straps that can be easily exchanged. 

Navigation: The clock uses a line to navigate with a touchscreen. Digital Corona is used to select the dates, gliding through catalogs and go to the main screen. 

Innovation: Charging through MagSafe and sensor alignment. Sensors detect pulse. A gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS and Wi-Fi iPhone is used. It is digital touch, similar to Morse code system delivers messages to your contacts quickly, or a list of close friends. 

Win: The strap design is Apple. Guess who wins ... Apple fans will buy multiple straps for any occasion. 

Applications: See Apple already seems to have more applications than the corresponding clocks with Android. The Siri is a nice touch. A photograph of applications makes the watch more than Apple as a "suspension". 

Developers: Apple spent the WatchKit, which allows developers to create communication applications and more.

Failures

Price: Starting at $ 349, but will rise as gold and features it contains. 

The clock has an Apple iPhone. 
Availability. Watch the Apple will be available in early 2015, to the dismay of fans of the company. 

Battery life: is a mystery. Cook said Apple's clock can be charged every night, which means the battery life of approximately 12 hours.
