Logitech turns the iPhone into portable console.




Installed on most smartphones , games are among the most popular apps and more addictive .

Yes but now, if the touch controls work just fine for " Angry Birds " or " Candy Crush " they are much less suitable for more demanding games

To remedy this, Logitech launches PoweShell , a hybrid between the controller and extra battery for the iPhone 5. After the Bluetooth keyboards for tablets and speakers, the Waldensian company continues to diversify in the field of mobile accessories.

Few games yet :

Simply slide the mobile in the controller to automatically create a connection. The ergonomics of PowerShell is compelling. He holds nicely in hand and is designed for all iPhone features (photo , volume, headphone jack ) remain accessible.

To meet the players, the controller features a directional pad , four buttons, two triggers and a pause button. The reactivity control is good, and above all, need to tap the screen to play , freeing the display surface.

Attention PowerShell is by no means compatible with all games. Damage. Logitech publishes on its website a list of applications which are subject to its controller. The most demanding players also regret the presence of a simple directional pad instead of two joysticks , including standard configuration for action games.

Battery out for Christmas, PowerShell turns smartly designed and turned instead to the general public. Not sure it will convince gamers , even if it is a good first step in their direction.

1.Compatible with the iPhone 5 and 5s, and the latest iPod touch, PoweShell is both a joystick and a booster battery.
2.Powershell and accessories : a micro-USB cable for charging, an iPod adapter and an audio extension cable.


3.Powershell in action.

   Travellers will soon be surfing the web easier. From March, the train stations of Lille Flandres and Avignon test the first free and unlimited Wi-Fi network, provided by the operator SFR and deployed by the French company Nomosphère. Priority will then be given to Parisian and regional stations: a quarantine should be equipped in late June. And in February 2015, are 128 stations that offer WiFi to their users. "Our goal is to develop very fast and very strong. We are also the first in Europe to go so far, offering unlimited free WiFi. And we do not stop at these stations 128, believe me! "Promises executive director of Gares & Connexions, Rachel Picard.

Service funded by advertising :

To connect, users will have to create an account, then that will work in all stations equipped. Avanr to access the Internet , however, they will see an advertisement because the service is funded entirely through it . "The goal for us was that it was free for the traveler. There should not be any additional cost to the station, but the system will finance itself , "said AFP Director . Management portal and advertising has been entrusted to the company WiFi Metropolis.

Until now , free WiFi access was available in some railway stations , but only for SFR customers.

In the longer term , the SNCF dream of a completely connected station where travelers could do their shopping online and pick them up later or play them on digital walls.

Well, Sony began to make radical decisions.



  That was in 2006 . Sony launched in the U.S. its reading light e-reader and its online store Reader Store to download digital books . It was a year before the outbreak of Amazon and its Kindle tablet digital ink.

The Japanese group was visionary. The U.S. market for digital books is indeed now the largest in the world. In the United States, more than 20% of turnover comes from digital publishing .

Despite these favorable conditions , Sony announced Thursday, Feb. 6 , closing the Reader Store and transfer its customers to the Canadian group Kobo .

How consumer-electronics group has large he could miss the boat and end up marginalized on the market that had opened ? This is in fact already the subject really .

For this failure does not weigh much in view of the difficulties faced by Sony . But it is remarkable insofar as , contrary to what seems to be the culture of this giant of some 150 000 employees , the problem was quickly treated .

This reactivity is probably one of the qualities most sorely lacking in the Japanese giant . As its CEO, Kazuo Hirai, launched Thursday for the second time in four months , a significant warning on earnings forecasts of the group, also announced it was cutting two diseased branches .

That lost time :

It will first sell its Vaio PCs at a Japanese investment fund. Become ninth largest manufacturer with 1.9 % of a declining market , this department was lost and uncertain future.

And Mr. Hirai, arrived there two years as head of the group, announced the spin-off of the manufacture and sale of televisions . No question of an assignment for the moment, but this separation of accounts , functional and legal , lets consider .

The inventor of the cathode ray tube Trinitron color television in 1968 thus solves a painful revision. But lost time !

It has been ten years since this activity loses money . It has been ten years since the band promises every year that recovery is at hand . In total, he has accumulated 787 billion yen ( 5.7 billion euros ) in losses on this single trade. Yet it is the third largest television screens .

These decisions sale or cantonment appear wise . But they reveal the excitement of a group at bay. In January, Moody 's had stored the quality of Sony 's debt to the status of junk bonds because of the difficulties of the group to restate its PC and TV industries .

The success of the PlayStation 4 console , launched in November 2013 , and the range of Xperia smartphones and tablets are not sufficient to compensate for this strategic languor .

Sony will fall into the red with an expected loss of 110 billion yen ( 800 million euros) in its accounts 2013/2014 ended March 31. He had to head out of the water in 2012-2013 , its first profitable year in five years.

EXCLUSIVE: Galaxy S5 specs confirmed, Galaxy S5 mini and S5 Zoom also in the pipeline.




  Ever since rumors surrounding the Galaxy S5 started to evolve from faint rumblings to full-blown tremors, there have been multiple questions raised about Samsung’s next flagship smartphone. Will it be made of metal or plastic? Would it be powered by the new Exynos 6 / Snapdragon 805 processor? Has Samsung finally implemented hardware optical image stabilization in the camera? Well, thanks to our insider, we can now answer quite a few of those questions, and also confirm some of the specs of the Galaxy S5 mini and Galaxy S5 Zoom, which are also in the works.

GALAXY S5 :

First, let’s get the most mysterious thing about the Galaxy S5 out of the way: Yes, it will come in both metal and plastic versions as has been rumored, with the metal version costing around 800 Euros and the plastic model coming in at around 650 Euros. It’s pretty much similar to what Apple has done, offering both a plastic iPhone (iPhone 5c) and a metallic one (iPhone 5s). Naturally, Samsung will be pushing people towards buying the much-anticipated metallic model – we weren’t given more details, but if a recent rumor is to be believed, the phone will basically have just a metallic back plate while being constructed of metal on the sides and front. Also, it’s still no telling whether the premium metal version will be named Galaxy F or something else.

As expected, the Galaxy S5 will sport an AMOLED display of 2,560×1,440 resolution; we were unable to confirm the size, though it should be around 5.25-inches as has been rumored often. The back of the phone will sport a 16-megapixel camera, though it’s unclear if it will have hardware optical image stabilization (OIS). Underneath, the Galaxy S5 will either be powered by the Exynos 6 processor or a Snapdragon 805, depending on whether it’s LTE-enabled or not. On the software front, the S5 will run on Android 4.4 KitKat, which is unsurprising.

While the Exynos 6 CPU was expected - which will likely be capable of operating all eight cores simultaneously - to power the handset, it’s only just been confirmed that the S5 will become one of the first smartphones to sport the Snapdragon 805 CPU, which should offer considerably higher performance than the Snapdragon 800 in the Galaxy Note 3, especially in the graphics department. It’s unclear what factors will decide what processor Samsung uses on which model – the metal version will likely have 64-bit support with the Exynos 6 processor, while the plastic model could be powered by the Snapdragon CPU (we’ve been told that LTE isn’t an issue for the Exynos CPU anymore, so we could see a change in tradition and find the plastic version of the phone with only the Snapdragon CPU in every country.)

When can we expect to see the Galaxy S5 come to market? Well, an announcement should be made in March, likely in London, followed by a launch in early April. We’re still unclear on a few details, such as the amount of RAM, battery capacity, and whether photos will be more blur-free through hardware OIS, but we’re pretty sure those details will show up in the coming weeks, as we near the official unveiling of one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2014.

Here’s a recap of the Galaxy S5′s specs :

- QHD (2,560×1,440) Super AMOLED display
- Exynos 6 / Snapdragon 805 processor
- 16-megapixel camera
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- Plastic/metal versions

GALAXY S5 MINI, GALAXY S5 ZOOM :

We were also able to confirm that Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S5 mini and Galaxy S5 Zoom sometime after the Galaxy S5, with an official unveiling taking place sometime in June and May respectively. Both devices will have a Super AMOLED display (4.8-inch on the Galaxy S4 Zoom, of qHD resolution) and run on Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, which are all the details we have on their hardware at the moment. The S5 mini wasn’t really unexpected, but it looks like Samsung will also be releasing yearly upgrades to its Galaxy S Zoom camera-centric smartphones, hopefully with a better design than the one on the Galaxy S4 Zoom.
