Acer Iconia W3, Windows 8 Tablet with 8-inch

In mobile platforms, Windows 8 has managed to draw the attention of users, adding the final point on the issue of performance portability, is that the tablets(Hyundai T7) with systems like Android or iOS, still fall short of applications capable of performing to the level of Office, and is where Windows 8 and Windows RT can succeed, although sales and the diversity of its teams have not helped, but now, with the spread of the brand in the market with Windows 8 recognized manufacturers and tablets with this system help to improve their position, and Acer will be one good way to start this new branch of the ecosystem.

Earl Tablet: a tablet survival electronic ink

It does not exist yet, but it may be a matter of time. If the funds are raised (and this is a good start), an e-ink tablet of a new kind could make an appearance.

C'' is the Meetearl site you can discover the amazing draft tablet(Ramos W30HD) Earl electronic ink. The concept of a tablet tailored for the adventure is presented in the context of research funding by crowdfunding. These are pre-orders of the device proposed $ 249 until June 9, financing the project. If the funds reach the target, namely $ 250,000, while those who have pre-ordered will be delivered, whereas if the goal is not reached, they will be repaid, because unlike other projects, Participants are immediately debited. But what exactly has this tablet?

A shelf cut for adventure

The project consists of a tablet(AINOL CRYSTAL ) equipped with a monochrome screen and able to survive all conditions electronic ink. And it resists water, dust, shock, or in the mud, and meets IP67 allowing it to be submerged in three feet of water for 30 minutes. It can be used at temperatures between 0 and 50 ° and up to an altitude of 12,000 meters.

It loads Android 4.1, a flexible from LG E-Ink screen, offering a resolution of 1024x768, a useful backlit display for night use as emergency lamp, an infrared touch screen for use with gloves, 16GB expandable by micro-SD memory, all in 303 grams(SANEI N78 ).

It is of course a positioning system GPS device compatible Glonass (the Russian equivalent) and Waas. A radio is also integrated FRS / GMRS / MURS compatible and also incorporating a system Walkie Talkie.

Many sensors have been added in addition to the traditional accelerometer. We therefore also find a gyroscope, barometer, humidity, thermometer and anemometer sensor. Here is a real small portable weather station.

For autonomy, it will take 20 hours, but especially one supported by the integrated five hours in the sun solar panel.

 

For connectivity, the tablet will support WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0, ANT +, or NFC. No integrated 3G module here, a feature that might have an interest, even if 3G is not necessarily available everywhere. A usage examples cited is the ability to check their heart rate in real time on the device through Bluetooth and ANT +.

Finally, the device can connect to many android applications, and can of course be used as a reading light for ePub, PDF, and mobi.

In short, the unit is very well equipped, and the price is hence justified. The tablet will be available for those involved in the project costs $ 249 instead of $ 349 provided once the project is launched. It will add $ 20 shipping outside the United States. It will also pay to buy cards depending on where it is (for now limited to the United States, Canada and Mexico). But a European version, with suited cards, would be scheduled for late 2013.

Be careful though. If we can have confidence in specialized sites such projects as Kickstarter or Indiegogo, hopefully Meetearl the site is trustworthy. Unlike those sites where the money is debited if the amount is reached, here the sum is debited immediately, and the site says that if the $ 250,000 is not met, participants will be reimbursed . Some people worry that the company is new and unknown in the area.

The head of the company has responded to some of the comments, saying he was new in this area, and it is responsible for project coordination with manufacturers. So realistic project or not? We also know that there is a gap between a list of possible specifications on paper and create a truly effective instrument in practice. So be careful, but that in any case an original idea ...

Microsoft focuses on low cost tablet to impose the system Windows 8

 

Of the difficulties that Microsoft is having to impose its new operating system in the field of tablets(VOYO q907) has been said and written in recent weeks, accomplices sales data released by IDC and other market research company. Now the attention of many industry professionals is focused on what he will do in the near future the Redmond to reverse a trend that certainly can not be considered satisfactory in the presence of the force of a competition called Apple and Google.

Acer and Asus the first vendor to focus on low cost tablets
The feeling, from different surrogate rumors, is that the new bet of Windows 8 tablets(Allfine Fine7) with screens are smaller than those in use on the Surface of vendor partners and products of North American society.

The fact that Amazon has appeared on a few days ago (only for a few hours) for pre-order at $ 379.99 a product of Acer 8-inch board with the highest performance version of the platform, which suggests that the tablets "mid range "may be the road chosen by Microsoft to play for their cards more seriously in this area.

A change of strategy that makes the rest following the announcement of new hardware requirements for Windows 8, starting right from the lowest resolution (1,024 x 768 pixels) screens than initially supported by the operating system.

This matter was also expressed in recent days, the Wall Street Journal, according to which even Asus (producer notoriously very close to Microsoft on the front of the computer) is working to bring to market in the coming months a Windows 8 Tablet PC with list prices below $ 300.

Farewell to Windows RT and chip Arm?

Eight, in other words, could become the platform for producers of reference for mobile PCs "bonsai" new generation. At the expense probably of Windows RT, the version of the new operating system developed to work on tablets and portable "low end" to Arm processor architecture and addressed, with little success so far, the final user.

Given the incompatibility with existing Windows applications, RT would lose all or almost reason to exist. With all due respect Arm and various Qualcomm and Nvidia, which for this version of the software they have developed dedicated chips, and extreme satisfaction for Intel, which would become sole supplier for tablet Windows exactly as he did in his time with the netbook.

The Colossus of Santa Clara, for its part, has long made no secret of wanting to play a protagonist in the mobile arena (also in smartphones) and as far as the tablet is known that in Serbia has the launch of a new family of Atom chips , based on the new micro-architecture

"Silvermont" to 22 nanometers which uses the tri-gate transistor, by the end of the year.
So think of ultralight tablet equipped with Windows Blue (updating Windows 8 expected for the autumn) and quad core processors (code-named "Bay Trail") that guarantee performance and efficiency much higher than those of the models on the market today is not utopia. Indeed. The first products in the concept - that of Acer and Asus above and probably others signed by HP, Samsung and Dell - could debut as early after the summer.

A billion dollars to the digital assets of Nook Media

Somehow related to the issue Windows 8 tablet is finally indiscretion, made public by the specialized website Tech Crunch, that Microsoft would be willing to pay a billion dollars to detect a number of assets from the joint venture Nook Media, formed in 2012 with Barnes & Noble.

In the internal document Redmond ended up in the hands of Tech Crunch would speak also plans to release the "new company" (in which Microsoft invested
$ 300 million for a stake of 17 percent) from the business of the Nook Tablet to the Android platform, scheduled for next year, and a new strategy focused on the licensing of content to third-party developers. To which you will be asked limitation, this might be expected, to work only in orbit Windows 8
