While the operator Free Mobile will celebrate in a few days her first birthday, it was announced today via a press release, a significant change for now since its offers, in addition to being able to call landlines in Guadeloupe, French Guiana , Martinique and Reunion unlimited, or within 2 hours of their package for subscribers to package 2 € / month, it is now also possible to call at no extra cost to mobiles in these destinations! As good news never comes alone, this new capability is also built for the Freebox Revolution subscribers or Freebox V5 who subscribed to the "Calls to mobiles!"

iPhone 5S: a "NEW" design and a larger screen?


Rumors say that the next iPhone will have a larger screen and a new design



The rumors about the iPhone 5S intensify even despite the distractions obtained through the CES 2013. Rumors say this time that the next generation of iPhones will have a screen larger than 4-inch LCD of the iPhone 5 and a "new" design.

As usual, this information comes from DigiTimes, so take them with caution ...

Rumors are increasingly confused as different sources are part of an iPhone "low-cost" or more models of different sizes and prices.

Although there is some logic to the argument that Apple needs to start now to differentiate its products, it does not really look like the character builder, which is known to
is generally reluctant to major changes.

Other rumors have suggested that the next iPhone will be offered in a wide range of colors and it was reported that a great change will affect the visual design of the iOS platform from Apple. Jony Ive, the head honcho of design at Apple has indeed been assigned new functions interface.

DigiTimes sources say the price of low-end iPad Mini seduced emerging markets and China, a factor that may have served as a catalyst to push Apple to introduce more variants at low prices of its products.

The new Qualcomm Snapdragon chip would also design an iPhone cost, but it would mean the abandonment by Apple of its own chips: Another big change about which one can have serious doubts.

IPhone Mini 2013?


A major U.S. newspaper claims that Apple is working on a cheaper iPhone, which could leave this year.



Apple is creating a cheaper iPhone to be released this year, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The device looks similar to the current iPhone, reports Reuters, but would be crafted from less expensive materials, such as polycarbonate shell.

This info comes from the Wall Street Journal from an anonymous source who claims that Apple has decided to go this route in response to the unprecedented growth of Samsung between 2011 and 2012.

Apple analysts have decided importance for the company to release a product cheaper, especially to target emerging markets and users of pre-paid cards, in order to remain viable over the long term.

Analyst Sector & Sovereign Research, Paul Sagawa, issued the following note to investors concerning the business of the iPhone:

"See smartphones competitors achieve some market similar to Apple's iPhone and rival platforms ready to subsidize the sale of equipment to build their base for profit web applications, I am skeptical as to whether the approach to high-margin can be maintained for a long time yet "

Apple declined to comment on these rumors.

Jailbreak iOS 6 - A new hope


There are many that are waiting for the Jailbreak iOS 6, not just any hack, but often find an environment of non-standard applications, not present on the App Store.

For about a week we saw that this jailbreak took a turn for the worse, some hackers have more or less taken lachés and even asking Apple to relax the rules a little. In addition, and this is probably more embettant a way to install applications \ \ "fly \ \" iPhone without jailbreak, appeared here and there.

But now the hope Jailbreak iOS 6 seems reborn if one believes the hacker Planetbeing. Indeed, it has posted some lines on Reddit saying that his iPhone under 6.02 is jailbroken so jailbreak untethered and it is stable and functional.
But he also says he will not release the jailbreak because Apple is certainly not far out iOS 6.1 and showed that if the flaw he exploited, while Apple does not deprive the bridge with update. Suddenly, all be redone.
Planetbeing said he wanted to stay one step ahead of Apple iOS 6.1 jailbreak to more easily and then release the Untethered Jailbreak iOS 6.

A lengthy discussion ensued, discussion and article you can find on Reddit.

So hope for thousands ... as I say, millions of followers Jailbreak which, no doubt, are not all pirates but people in power who want to circumvent the rules imposed by Apple for their iPhone a very personal environment.

We will be sure to follow all that closely.

Twitter has it surpassed the billion users?





Twitter is definitely in vogue in recent months. First it is the young who have approached this social network Facebook by releasing a few. And Twitter is a bit like MSN, and we also saw the odd texting or resurface.

And then, as we have seen in the French statistics, population a little more aged, seniors are told, were also seized this social network.

Twitter has a policy a bit special, they do not report number, whether the number of users, or even the financial figures. Furthermore, you hook well, some analysts believe that the value of Twitter is expected to reach $ 11 billion in 2013. The publicity Maintenat well taken on Twitter, tweet Sponsored being more numerous.

Since Twitter does not ComUnique figure, we must work with estimates. And this is the site that launches today Twopchart figures who wobble.

Twitter count today more than 1 billion users in any case of open accounts, we know that 40% of these accounts, at least, are often inactive or followers.
Moreover, the site is even estimates of new accounts per day, minutes and even seconds. We talk more estimates than reality, not knowing the truth.

But we also know that a year ago, Twitter had 500 million registered users.


It should not be given too much importance to these figures, but they may not be far from the truth after all, it is clear that there are more people on Twitter, and it lasts for some time now, and we're in France


Blackberry Z10 - An idea of the price



Always on the lookout for new Blackberry mobile future, here is information that may be important for many people.

To begin, imagine that the operator BELL, Canada already has the Blackberry Z10 pre-order. This confirms once again that Blackberry should market the Z10 just after the official presentation.

Then Bell has decided to launch a game to win a Z10. And this is where things start to get interesting.

The rules of the game, there is a price index and ... Blackberry Z10 costs approximately $ 700, according BELL.

But hey, it gives us an idea of the rate at which RIM intends to market the BB 10.


There has to wait for January 30 to know everything.

Facebook Messenger - Voice messages are activated


Update:



We were talking yesterday, referring calls testing via Facebook Messenger in Canada and today, at least that night, the Facebook Messenger has been updated on the iPhone.

It is now possible via the iPhone app, leaving voice messages to friends on Messenger, rather than writing a message.

To leave a voice message is very simple:


Press the "+" button, select "Save voice" and keep pressing to leave your message.
When you release the button, the message will be sent


Seen in this update that Facebook talking about voice calls. The service, which will use the data plan, will gradually be available in the coming weeks. This service will then use VOIP, and should be available in WiFi but also 3G / 4G.

Facebook has therefore compete with services such as Skype and Co with the big advantage of being the largest social network in the world and thus allow users to be in contact with many people.


A Facebook Phone? No voice calls on the application Messenger




Voice messages are activated via France iPhone application Facebook Messenger

Facebook today began testing a new feature on its Messenger application. This test is happening in Canada and you imagine that Canadians can now make free calls via Faceook Messenger from the moment they have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection.

For the moment, this only works with the Messenger application for iPhone, but the coming of the test phase, if it is convincing, then Facebook could extend these voice calls for Android devices.

But then, what does it mean that? We will all be able to call in via Facebook Messenger?

Although somehow we could say that, like Skype for example, the main competitor of this principle. So, Facebook should probably ask additional things like our phone number for example.

Communications are communications VOIP, I guess you know the principle.

So finally, this Facebook Phone, it arrives?

I did not much can be wrong in the title of the article because, if you look closely, you may have more friends on Facebook than you do on Skype so if it can be called via Facebook Messenger easily, looking on our smartphone if the contact is online or not, it is perhaps not far from a non-Facebook Phone?


We will wisely wait until the end of the test phase in Canada to see if Facebook gives everyone the opportunity to make voice calls from the Messenger application.


Blackberry Z10 - new information





New information comes to us via Blackberry Z10 that Business Insider reported that it has submitted a source who was able to test a little, Blackberry Z10.

To recap, the Z10 will be announced on January 30 in New York, but the event will be broadcast in a few cities in the world, including Paris and I have the chance to be present.

So says the person who tested the Z10 Blackberry Blackberry under 10:


the build quality is really nice, the back cover gives sensention rubber and snaps a bit like the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The screen is superb
The browser is very fast, as fast as a web browser (that we could see). Flash is also supported
You can set up separate profiles for work and use one. Great for people who use one phone for two different activities.
Evernote is integrated
The new store is very similar to AppWorld store Google Play
it only takes a minute to start.


Below are two pictures of a Z10 taken next to an iPhone 4S. You will also notice that the Z10 left, top, there is the mark of "Verizon", the U.S. operator who will market the Z10.

Moreover, the mark of this operator can make us think something very interesting. Blackberry is it ready to market the first day or the Blackberry Z10 almost the Keynote?


Obviously this will be the first to be released Z10, but no information on the release of Blackberry X10 for now.

And if the Nokia Lumia Pad tablet was the Nokia Windows 8?



We again about the possible Nokia tablet some time ago, and if you believe the rumors, this tablet Nokia, Nokia Lumia Pad why not be presented at the MWC 2013.

Its features look rather nice and it is quite normal for a designer starts to imagine how this would be Nokia Lumia Pad.

These photos are the work Jupeng Zhai and they we Pontiac a concept rather realistic base Lumia 920.

Now the question is whether Nokia will show us the same.





Sony Xperia Z - the price before the Keynote




The Sony Xperia Z was already unveiled in pictures, photos from Sony's marketing obviously. We know that Sony origanise a press conference Tuesday, January 7 at 17h local time (January 8 at 2am for France) to Las Vegas, I have also been invited to this conference but could not be attend unfortunately, I stay in France.

We already know about the Sony Xperia Z, and now we know the price of it, thanks to a site Thai SonyXP.
The price will be around 500 Euros (19,990 Bath for those who want to do the conversion). But beware, this is about $ 660 so if you practice the usual conversion, it is possible that the Sony Xperia Z sells at a price of 660 €.

But otherwise this is a relatively low price, compared to what is usually known with respect to the material qu'embarque this smartphone Sony.

Mind you, this is a solution to compete with all players in the market, which, except for the Nexus 4 are well above this rate, even with less features.



We will all soon

Blackberry Z10 - RFH121LW model is the European model


We'll talk Blackberry Z10, which, if we are to believe the images appeared on the FCC documents, has acquired the rights of exploitation in Europe.

A few days ago, we had seen a model close to the Z10 had received a agreement FCC Engadget today and we had another.

Rummaging through different documents made available by the FCC, which reveals nothing other than the model, there it is the Blackberry RFH121LW, I came across the picture you can see the bottom of this article and which states that this model has its agreement EC, so European.



To recap, the full touchscreen Blackberry Z10 should be announced January 30, 2013, at the same time as the X10 and Blackberry officialese presentation of the Blackberry OS 10.





Xbox 720 June 11, 2013, the countdown starts


We have seen recently that Sony would be the PlayStation 4 announced soon, well it's time for Microsoft to make a very big teaser for E3, the big video game event to be held in LosAngeles on 11 to 13 June 2013.

Indeed, a countdown was installed on Major Nelson's blog, which is actually Larry Hyrb, head of Xbox Live.

Nothing like waking up in the myth of the Xbox 720, which has done so much and talked with rumors foreshadowed for some time.


The year 2013 promises to be a great year for gamers , PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 ... finally ... can be



The new Samsung Chrome Box


Samsung has put online its new Series 3 Chrome Box, this mini machine, such as a Mac Mini, but separated from her look a little too similar to Apple's Mac Mini.

Side composition, nothing has changed, Chrome Box has the same characteristics, namely:


Intel Celeron B840 running at 1.9 GHz
4GB of RAM
16 GB SSD storage
802.1.1 WIFI a / b / g / n
6 USB port
2 ports display
a headphone jack and 1 microphone input



Then design side, we like it or not, the choice, but Samsung seems to want to stand out a little Apple can be to end the war between them, in any case side design. But in this case, we will see a revolution in the design Samsung Galaxy S4?



The year 2013 bug to Apple - Do not disturb


The new "Do Not Disturb" is activated or not, the iPhone, has undergone a bug ... when switching to 1 January 2013.

So, people who do not want to be disturbed while Eve had to "pester" against their iPhone. These are things that happen, we have known the bugs related to the time change and awakening that sounded too late ... 1 hour too late.

Anyway, Apple has taken this bug seriously and announced that the bug is fixed, mean by that ... set ... January 7, 2013. That's not cool?


Finally ... not for those who have the problem now of course, there continue to be those awake at night by the dozens of emails, tweets, Facebook messages that arrive every hour on their favorite iPhone. But Apple advises them to the application "Do Not Disturb" Off for now ... if so, Apple said.



Twitter - 5.5 million users in France


Twitter in France is not doing too bad, we are very far from the U.S., but still, France is 7 th in the world rankings.

ComScore conducted a survey of Twitter users in France, the results correspond to November 2012.

Well we are 5.5 million using Twitter in France. Surpenant most is that they are over 55 years old who have experienced the largest increase over the previous year with an increase of 100%, which still represents some 1.3 million users .

Then come the 15-24 age group, and they are 1.2 million users.


I'll let you look at the graph below provided by ComScore.



12 mobile OS choice in 2013


The year 2013 promises to be a big year for mobile OS, OS increasingly used with many touch pads come on the market, and this trend is not ready to stop if we believes the spaciest, it will even tend to increase in the damn future.

Suffice to say that this market is certainly the most promising in the near future or the challenge of the mobile OS.

Today, there are 2 OS sentimentalism who share the cake, I want to speak on Apple's iOS and Android. But others, more or less old, continue to exist or begin to nibble market share, I'm talking about the Blackberry OS, Symbian still present and of course Windows Phone.

But in 2013 the situation will change, depending on the speed of development, and also tastes of everyone desires builders, the cake will have to share a greater number of shares, and it is not clear whether the biggest today who continue to inject between them, the users.

The question that we are entitled to ask is is it will not be too late for all these new mobile OS? I sincerely believe that some will find it difficult to break, but there is a large portion of the world's population is not equipped smartphone market in emerging countries is huge and there is a place in the sun to do.

Let's take a closer look.

Start with the OS we already know pretty well:



Symbian Nokia (very present as mobile work)
Apple iOS: the OS will continue its path, alternating updates we see elsewhere iOS 7 point the tip of his nose
Google's Android: again, this is definitely the most popular OS in the world, and is awaiting 5 Android
Windows Phone 8 (not to mention 7.8): the latest OS from Microsoft that is beginning to see its share of phone (Lumia 920, 820, 620 - HTC 8X, 8S - Samsung Ativ S - Huawei W1)
Samsung bada: OS this might be misunderstood believe is quite popular, particularly in France




Then there are the newcomers that are expected to emerge in 2013:



Blackberry 10: The new BlackBerry OS should equip Blackberry Blackberry Z10 and X10 on 30 January 2013.
Firefox OS: Mozilla's mobile OS has made its merry way and should arrive this year on a mobile ZTE
Tizen: A New Open Source OS that many manufacturers and mobile operators follow closely. Samsung will be the first to offer a mobile in 2013 under Tizen
Ubuntu Phone OS: Ubuntu OS should offer this year, probably before March, and Ubuntu Phone is planned for 2014.
Open webOS: the direct descendant of webOS, HP laché, and continues to be developed and brought on a lot of smartphones or tablet. The last portage date is Open WebOS on the Nexus 7
Sailfish OS: a new OS based on MeeGo me it seems, developed by former Nokia, which is already beginning to turn ... on Nokia (see video below made by Engadget)



And then, which is the 12th mobile OS?

RT Windows 8: The mobile OS listed above all work on smartphones and some on shelves, while Windows 8 is that RT for tablets. But the fact that it is part of the mobile OS, this is the first advantage of a tablet, not to be mobile?



AND now, I think we did a tour of what awaits us in 2013 next mobile OS. I do not know what will be your choice, but it is clear that each of them have peculiarities, addicts, and defects course.


The year 2013 promises to be a great year test.




iPhone 5S - The colors and 2 sizes of screens


And we talk of the iPhone 5S, at least the analyst Brian White. The latter says that the iPhone 5S should be completely different from other iPhone, and for good reason ...

On many occasions, at least before each new iPhone, many people imagined that the iPhone could be sold in as many colors as the iPod.

Well they come back as Brian tells us the following: "Our checks indicate that the next iPhone will offer more choice to customers. Several colors and various sizes of screen for the next iPhone will be launched in June 2013."

So, with that, you are served.

Take a step back. The current iPhone 5 iPhone is made ​​of aluminum ionized therefore accepts paints ... We have already seen that this made him still vulnerable to shocks.
Based on this principle, it would be easy for Apple to offer an iPhone 5S with several colors, probably with the same concerns content to shocks, but still.

Then, as regards the two screen sizes. I want to start by saying: "Why?"
So either Apple wants to offer an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 ... I do not know ... with various rates, depending on the amount of storage, as today, but also in terms of screen size and probably components that accompany it.
We find ourselves, therefore, as the iPad, with an iPhone and an iPhone Mini?
And it would be called iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 Mini Mini?

And what screen sizes? a 4.5 inch, 5 inch over the size of the current iPhone 5?


You believe? ... not me
