The computers all-in-one continues to leave its mark on the market with multiple models from various manufacturers. Teams are interesting but some areas for improvement for the future, mainly the price and the actual availability of the equipment in stores. Unfortunately it seems that manufacturers put much effort to fix and improve.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z is an upcoming all-in-one Lenovo. It is not yet official, but he was already beginning to filter out some features. There will be models with screens 20 and 23 inch, attention will be touch and will be designed in Windows 8 . The new Microsoft operating system and its interface Metro have our fingers as major players, and not only in tablets or laptops but also in other types of equipment.

The rumor says Ivy Bridge Intel processors and dedicated graphics, and although probably not determine the models talk about some of the new Nvidia 600 Series that are close to being submitted. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z will be a top model, designed even for office use. By having a reference, the price of the current model (the ThinkCentre M90z) starts from $ 600 for the most basic setup, so we should start thinking from there.

Regarding the release date rumor says will be available in the month of July , perhaps the most rushing the release of Windows 8.

From Taipei get news related to Nokia, Microsoft and a tablet . Yes, as you are imagining the whole Finnish company is preparing to launch a new tablet on the market of 10 inches and will have, as you can imagine, Windows 8 , the new operating system was presented recently at the Mobile World Congress .

The device will come, according to information presented by informants DigiTimes , a chip Qualcomm and will be available for the last quarter of 2012 . And that’s if all goes well, because they could delay. The first wave would be 200 thousand units, so it seems to have enough confidence.

On the other hand, also confirmed that Nokia will also enter WoA , which means Windows on ARM. This, supposedly, will give the company the strength to compete in a real way against IOS and Android. If you succeed or not, only we’ll know in good time.

It is clear that although this is not confirmed, was a matter of time. Nokia partnered with Microsoft to build your business, and Microsoft created Windows 8 designed not only for desktops but also for tablets and smartphones .

Google Search for Windows Phone 7.5 redesigned

After presenting the Developer Preview Windows 8 a few months ago, today Microsoft has become the arena of operating systems with the launch of Consumer Preview Windows 8 , the evolution of the previous version that gives us a much more reliable than it finally -it will be released sometime in the second half of 2012 – and which now can be downloaded in 32 or 64-bit flavor in English, German, French, Japanese or Chinese.

But before you run to install , you need to read all that follows and that Windows 8 is completely different from its predecessors.

Windows 8 everywhere

This is the fundamental pillar on which rests the philosophy of Windows 8 . This is a softwaredesigned to run on PCs, tablets , laptops and “all in one” and provide a good user experience on any device, whether controlled by the classic combination of mouse + keyboard or touch gestures.

The task is formidable, and like Apple is “iOSizando” Mac OS X , Microsoft’s strategy to achieve this is to implement formulas also Windows Phone 7 on Windows with the implementation of the interface Metro and give more weight to the Internet and all its possibilities, which also gets to put smartphones in the equation. In the words of Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live divisions:

With Windows 8 we re-imagined the ways in which people can interact with your PC, and how to make all these interactions are integral to a device with Windows 8, be it a tablet, laptop or all in one.

And everywhere, is almost literally everywhere. For example, during today’s presentation showed Consumer Preview Windows 8 running on a tablet , then on a PC, followed by ultrabook and to finish the play on a team with ARM architecture, typical of mobile devices. My verdict, based on what we showed today is that Windows 8 have made ​​it work just as everywhere fluid and interface seamlessly adapts to different resolutions, so minidot for Microsoft.

Operating System “two in one” and other herbs

On the one hand we have a screen, which is what the user will be nothing more power on it and is very similar to the Windows Phone. In her applications and other functions appear in a fully customizable grid rectangles, some of which show updated information obtained from the Internet (news for example) and where you can launch programs and services snacking on these rectangles.

That is, just turn on, the user has at hand all you want to have. For example drawer with the climate of your city, another playlist, another contact, another leading directly to a particular site and so on.

On the other hand, is the desktop of a lifetime . Well, more or less, because we also have updated since the typical applications such as scan to notepad via the control panel or task manager. Stresses in particular that the classic start button lower left corner disappearswith the awesome bar extending entire side to side of the screen.

Completing all this we add a bar on the right you can show or hide the taste in which there are icons that give access to different functions / applications. Specifically there are four, one to access the search tool, another panel that displays content sharing via email and social networks in the future, a third by which “talk” to other devices (for example, transmit a video player directly to the Xbox and so see it on TV) and the last, Settings, through which you access system settings (if picked to be in a particular application, provides access to the settings of it).

To this was added a second drop down, this on the left, which shows the applications that are open on your computer to easily navigate between them.

Note also the subject of applications. They come in two types , the setup.exe of life and those of “Metro style”, specially designed for use in the home screen we discussed which are downloaded from the store Windows applications that gradually fills up.

During the trial period OS applications are free and users can transfer, including configurations, across multiple computers. Besides the Windows Store offers recommendations based on the interests of each other, which is used to discover new.

To clarify that apps Metro logically also be full-screen display, and have very good looking, at least those that come pre-installed such as finance or Xbox Live. Of course, they are scalable , which will look great in any resolution.

Forms of navigation, great differentiator

In previous Windows how to navigate the operating system was limited exclusively to mouse clicks. Windows 8 is maintained, but have less weight to move to support gestures and other forms of navigation with the mouse and keyboard.

For example, the bar-ons I said before can be deployed in three ways: by dragging your finger along the right side of the touch device that is by placing the mouse over the upper right corner or the key combination Windows + C . Other examples:

• If you are on the desktop by hovering over the bottom left, leads directly to the home screen.
• Good positioning the mouse over the upper left corner, or the finger in the case of touch screen displays the application menu pop-up said.
• If there are 3 open applications, which we pass to the next and the previous one, is as easy as dragging the stylus or your finger to the edge of the left or right of the screen.

 Integration with the cloud

This preliminary version of Windows 8 offers how could it be otherwise, complete integration of all material on the Internet.

When you log into a PC, or whatever, with Windows in our account of Windows (Windows Live life go), SkyDrive automatically synchronized with the settings , language preferences, themes and browser bookmarks. Also included is pre-installed application to manage manually by SkyDrive (for example to raise any particular document that we want to be accessible from any other team).

On the other hand some applications allow you to connect to other network services. For example, photos can be associated with Flickr and Facebook to import the images that we have there to the application.

 Download and considerations

As indicated at the beginning, Consumer Windows 8 Preview now available for download .Some preliminary considerations to keep in mind:

• We talked about a draft, which means it’s easy for failures and certain things do not work.
• If you install the version and in the process you leave your computer unusable, Microsoft will not give you support.
• The team must have a minimum 1 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM (32 bit) or 2 GB of RAM (64 bit), 16 GB of free disk space (32 bits) or 20 GB (64 bits), minimum resolution of 1024×768 pixels and graphics with DirectX 9 and WDDM support.

 Conclusions

Without having had a hand, clearly Windows 8 Consumer Preview is far more evolved than the version meant for developers. In principle I see an operating system with careful aesthetic, quick-start from 8 seconds off in one-and the ambitious goal of being the link between the user devices that are being used more support from the cloud and applications so they can have everything working perfectly timed and so easily on the move.

The big question remains the same: the combination will interface Metro / home screen / normal desktop users forget the windows of a lifetime?

I have not clear, a priori I see a bit cumbersome but it is all right to make value judgments about how something works without trying it, nor can we forget that this is one that is released just prior to collect feedback from user and application of the same in the final version.

In the coming hours we will be publishing a review of the operating system and can make further conclusions.

Although in the last hours, the only thing you’re talking about when jumping is the name of the famous Microsoft Windows 8 , from the central Rednom other news we get also the sea interesting than expected. Surely we all remember the famous Microsoft Flight Simulator .After a long life of more than 10 years, became its own right in the flight simulator more powerful and realistic market. After going through a period of uncertainty, was transformed into Microsoft Flight X and Microsoft finally decided to cancel the project … or not. Because finally been given a new life as a project “free” under the new name of Microsoft Flight .

Well the big news is that a few hours ago it was confirmed that Microsoft Flight is now available for download on-line and as rumored, its download is free. We remind you that this new version of the simulator is presented in an excellent format “freemium” : the game itself is free, but if you want to expand or to play with all the possibilities of this have to check out.

Now then, as you do not have a good connection, you can go and arming of patience, since his discharge are nothing less that 1.6 GB of data. And as always, I recommend having a team to the last, the MFS is usually very demanding in terms of equipment is concerned.

Although Samsung says it does not do very well in tablets, do not think that stops them to launch more and more sizes and versions of tablets, with the idea of ​​flooding the market and thus keep all that Apple can not get with the iPad .

Starting with the idea of putting a pencil on a tablet so far was simply an attempt to make easy to use a screen that does not work very well with your fingers or simply do not have a streamlined interface as Windows 7 tablets in If Galaxy 10.1 Note changes by using thetechnology developed by Wacom Touch Screen and present in their tablets.

But far from discussing whether it is an interesting tablet for artists, is rather an interesting tablet for education. You can take notes by writing with a pencil and you recognize what you write. This writing software is updated to recognize mathematical formulas, can recognize and search Wolfram Alpha and resolve them.

I’m sure there are more than a student who sounds quite interesting that with a tablet you can write directly to the screen a formula automatically solved.

During the first day of MWC we saw the first terminal of series including the latest update of Windows Phone 7, Tango, incorporating developments regarding minimum specifications required hardware necessary for a necessary lower-middle range of smartphones with the Microsoft operating system, you’re missing an important part of the market because of its strict guidelines. Tango also come pre-installed on other computers, such as ZTE Orbit, which will hit the market before summer, giving an approximate release date for the update, which also comes with some minor changes to current phones.

According to IntoMobile , Windows Phone 7 Tango will launch a massive scale – although staggered, if we reference the arrival of Mango – during the month of April, reaching all Windows Phone Marketplace in theory. The main new features of the system are new additions to the list of supported hardware, which is extended with support for terminals with256MB of RAM and slower processors, from 800Mhz , such as Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC line 7X27A of 610 Lumia , keeping Microsoft says the fluidity characteristic of the mobile ecosystem. Along with the new supported hardware comes visible only new Tango, support for new languages.

But Tango is not just improvements, due to lower hardware, the lower-end devices will have limitations within the operating system, with services such as Bing Local Scout or upload photos automatically disabled in these smartphones. Naturally, some applications will not be available for Marketplace such terminals, specifically 3D games, evidently because the low frequency of CPU clock and humble graphics chips. While wait in distribution “retail” would be normal, sites like The Verge ensure the availability of the latest update of Windows Phone 7 notable before the arrival of Apollo WP8 will be limited to manufacturers for their characteristics, which cover almost exclusively the device needs less potent. This update will make it slightly to the evolution of WP7, which will be orphaned, if reports are correct, until next year , when Apollo finally arrives. I would not upset any other improvements related to multitasking, connectivity and data synchronization.

Before the Mobile World Congress and following the routine of other manufacturers, Viewsonic has announced its range of products to display during the fair of mobile communications.Before we saw the new line of smartphones with Android and Windows Phone 7, and now it’s the turn of the tablets, with a trio of new additions to its catalog. The company will demonstrate at the show on Monday its ViewPad tablets G70, E100 and P100 , which come in very different formats to please all audiences.

The most humble of the three new models is the G70 ViewPad , a 7-inch tablet “super light” and “super slim” that come with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage with MicroSD expansion through and chambers of 2 and 0.3 megapixel rear and front for video communication. The simple tablet includes Mini HDMI output for connection to external displays, and Micro USB and Mini USB for data transfer. By the time the manufacturer has not offered details on the SoC to rule this model, although not surprised seeing their characteristics rather limited processor, which would ensure a sale price of content.

The second tablet is announced ViewPad E100 , a standard 9.7-inch IPS panel with 1024×768 pixels resolution (4:3) SoC processor to 1GHz , and the usual features of such device, front and rear cameras , HDMI ports, USB, and storage expansion via MicroSD. Surprise the format of the tablet, weighing just 620 grams and only 9.1 millimeters thick, wrapped in a beautifully finished casing.

Finally we find ViewPad P100 , the alternative for those who do not want to hear about Android tablet is that this 10-inch widescreen with IPS panel and resolution 1280×800 pixels comes with Windows 7. Obviously to have the operating system from Microsoft, the P100 includes x86 processor, specifically an Intel Atom N2600 Cedar Trail 1.6Ghz dual core, which ensures a high degree of autonomy if we go by predictions from Intel. The tablet, like the other two models, incorporates two cameras, but have not been detailed specifications. Still no word on availability in the market or price, but will probably be unveiled next week at MWC.

Watch out, because ZTE is coming for all the world of smartphones. Although this brand in China has been known for creating very cheap terminals to several operators and in general being a manufacturer you could say, almost as disqualifying “ Made in China ”for its quality, completely changes the direction of the brand in the West terminals to launch much better quality, almost to compete with other higher-end terminals.

But not only this terminal Android, are also about to launch new terminals, eight in total over the next week at Mobile World Congress, including a new terminal Windows Phone 7 .

ZTE will present eight new devices with significant advances in power, high-definition multimedia and design. The new innovations include a set of multi-core chips, wireless LTE and the latest versions of the Android operating system and Windows Phone.

Interestingly, ZTE go for the LTE, first because it was introduced in the U.S., but second, because thanks to his good relationship with European carriers, terminals can be ready to launch when ready LTE networks in Spain and Latin America .

The objective of ZTE’s crazy “ to become one of the top three mobile phone providers by 2015 . “ If ZTE achieved a combination of good hardware, nice design and good price, it has won.
