Apple iPad Pro with 12.9″ is now official

Posted on by

The first major announcement made by Apple today was the new iPad Pro, which was rumored for quite some time. The iPad Pro packs a big 12.9″ display with 2732 x 2048 pixels resolution, which keeps the same pixel density as the iPad Air 2 – 264ppi.

The new display is capable of variable fresh rate, which should improve the batter life. It also comes with a new accessory called announced Apple Pencil – an active stylus specifically designed for the iPad Pro. You can draw various diagrams and stuff on most of the system apps – they have been already updated to support it.

The iPad Pro is powered by a brand new A9x chip, which according to Apple offers twice the memory bandwidth of the A8x (within the iPad Air 2), twice the flash storage speed, 1.8x better overall performance and twice the GPU processing power. We can’t confirm the new CPU core count and clock, neither can we yet detail the GPU and RAM amount.

Apple also says the iPad Pro is faster than 90% of all portable PCs shipped within the last year.

The iPad Pro has a promised battery life of 10 hours if you are to use it nonstop.

Apple iPad Pro comes with four speaker system, which support automatic balance depending on how you tilt the slate. There is no word if this is a surround setup, or just a double stereo, but we’d bet on the latter.

The iPad Pro is big, but it’s just 6.9mm thin and weighs 712g, which is decent for the size.

Apple announced another exclusive accessory for the iPad Pro – the Smart Keyboard, which is basically Apple’s take on the Surface Type cover.

The Smart Keyboard is an external keyboard, which is magnetically attached via the new magnetic smart connector. It offers a full-blown keyboard and thus you’ll have the entire screen estate for your apps.

The Apple Pencil do the same things an S-Pen does – you can draw on documents, emails, add notes to word/excel documents. Apple announced it has cooperated with Microsoft and the MS Office was optimized for the iPad Pro and its Apple Pencil.

Apple iPad Pro runs on iOS 9 by default and it supports picture-in-picture and spilt screen view.

The Apple iPad Pro comes with the same 8MP iSight camera the Apple iPad Air 2 offered. Its connectivity options are virtually the same – Bluetooth, Wi-Fiac, and optional LTE Cat.4 support. There is a Touch ID sensor as well.

Apple iPad Pro will become available in November in Silver, Space Gray and Gold. The avaialble storage options are 32GB ($799) and 128GB ($949). The LTE model comes with 128GB only and costs $1079.

Finally, the Smart Keyboard will set you back $169, while the Apple Pencil is priced at…

Samsung lanza discretamente su aplicación de navegador web en Google Play

Posted on by

Samsung Galaxy apps

Como habitualmente decimos, prácticamente no hay día que Samsung no aparezca en los medios por un motivo u otro. Esta vez no es por ningún nuevo rumor acerca de su próximo dispositivo móvil, pero sí está relacionado con Android.

A pesar de eso, no significa que toda noticia acerca de él sea para mantenerse en boca de todos, pues de forma indiscreta y para nuestra sorpresa, Samsung ha decidido publicar en Google Play su navegador web, el llamado Internet para Samsung Galaxy.

Ya en Google Play el navegador web de Samsung

En un primer momento podemos pensar que es un claro movimiento en contra de Google y su exitoso navegador Chrome para quitarle su público y hacer que, de un modo u otro estos pasen a formar parte de la comunidad de usuarios del navegador de Samsung, pero no ha sido así.

Aparentemente y sin motivo alguno, el navegador de Samsung que en estos momentos ya se encuentra en Google Play sólo está disponible para dispositivos Samsung Galaxy, pero mucho más limitado de lo que nos gustaría.

Con esto nos referimos a que, si posees un terminal de cualquier otro fabricante que no sea Samsung no podrás usarlo, ya que se limita a los propios de la firma para ser usado. Y no creas que si posees, por ejemplo, un Samsung Galaxy S5 podrás usarlo, no, ya que también está limitado a únicamente el Samsung Galaxy S6 o S6 edge en adelante.

Meses atrás ya conocimos el movimiento del fabricante surcoreano, con objetivo de lanzar un navegador que unifique todos tus dispositivos en uno sólo, sincronizando todas tus acciones, marcadores, historial y demás características para ser mucho más accesible, al igual que ya disfrutamos desde tiempo atrás con otros de terceros. Pero una vez llegado el día, está tan limitado que ni siquiera podemos probarlo en otros dispositivos, curioso de hecho.

Y para más curiosidad, el mismo estaba oculto en el anonimato y alojado en Google Play desde el día 24 de agosto, fecha que como podéis comprobar, en ningún momento se ha hecho mención de ello, todo muy discreto y sin sentido por el hecho que a Samsung le encanta competir con el resto de compañías, y en cuanto a navegadores web el gigante es Chrome.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ con teclado

Aún así, si eres poseedor de un flamante Samsung Galaxy S6 o similar de esta misma generación, puedes descargarlo con la ventaja de que será actualizado a menudo y no sólo mediante firmware como suele ser habitual.
