You may remember the history between Apple and Fitbit. The little bracelet connected were sold in the Apple Store until her manufacturer has decided not to support Apple Health (Health), unveiled the new application with iOS 8. A small scandal course for Fitbit there who saw one disappear of its most important business partners drop, an abandonment that favored competition, Jawbone first. That's the story repeats itself. These are not the same actors. This is not the same issue, but the principle is exactly the same. Three competitors ejected Fire TV Amazon first Western merchant web, now refuses to sell three fairly iconic products. The first is the Apple TV, the new multimedia decoder of Cupertino. The second is the Nexus Player, a small box Android TV can turn into a game console. And the last is the Chromecast magic dongle that allows (among others) to display on the TV screen smartphone Android. A unilateral decision, of course, to which dealers present on the Amazon marketplace are required to comply (under penalty of being themselves removed from the market place). This deletion will take effect on October 29, according to an email from chief Amazon and retrieved by journalists from Bloomberg.

In the US, Samsung launched its own music platform called Milk. Online since March 2014, this service only available on certain mobile and Samsung tablets, is supported by a US specialist thematic radios, Slacker (a partnership that looks exactly like the one signed by Sony Music and Spotify Playstation). The Milk Music service, which combines a pay offer ($ 4 per month) and offers a free (ad-supported), is declining so far in video format, Milk Video. But it will soon cease. Closure in two months Indeed, on 20 November, in two short months, Milk Video will be closed by the Korean giant. In a short message to these users available on the Play Store, the automaker simply confirms the date and refers users to Milk Music. All without real explanation. But we suspect that this is primarily a problem of hearing and therefore a loss of interest for advertisers who supported the initiative financially. Milk Video was free streaming platform, only accessible on Galaxy S3, S4, S4 Mini, S5, S5 Mini, S5 Active, S5 Sport, S6, Edge S6, Edge + S6, S6 Active, Note 2, Note 3 , Note 4, Note 5, Note Edge, Mega, Tab 4, Tab and Tab S Pro. Therefore exclusive to the US, this application was substituted to some extent for YouTube users and advertisers broadcast content that consumers share and repartageaient. The system is based on brands, broadcasters (College Humor, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, Vice, Red Bull, Vogue, GQ, etc.) and users that can be followed in order to be notified when new content is available. And application wants to be more intuitive and more qualitative than competition, especially visually.

For 10 days, holders of an iTunes account can listen to unlimited music from their Mac, their PC, their iPhones, iPads or iPod Touch 5th generation (compatible iPod only). Indeed, Apple has made Apple Beats Music and 1 in a hundred countries. The first is a catalog of 30 million songs in a formula "all-you-can-listen" based on Beats Music and marketed $ 10 per month ($ 15 for 6 members of the same family). The second is a live radio broadcastée for three geographic locations (London, New York and Los Angeles) and operating with a real personal (DJs, animators and artists) as conventional FM stations. Beats 1 is accompanied by a string of thematic radios, also free and where the number of track jumps is limited. A comprehensive offering combining the power of Apple, Beats Music adaptability, integration with iOS, the connection to the artists and to exclusive content, and pay a premium formula and free content but qualitative. Social networks invaded deserters? Many are obviously those who have turned on the first day (June 30) the 3 month trial offer for the premium version. And Apple hope that on 1 October, many will choose to remain on Apple Music and fail over to the pay formula (warning to all those who have registered their payment card on iTunes: the scale will without your intervention share at the end of the trial period, the automatic renewal is activated by default). Meanwhile, the first signs of a significant impact of the arrival of Apple Music on the hearing of competitors already be felt. The information comes from Brandwatch. It is a consulting firm that tracks trends on social networks. Obviously, the panel is restricted to the users of these networks (ie Facebook and Twitter), including those that express all their facts and publicly gestures. But this offer, once again, a trend (which is difficult to extrapolate figures or percentages). According Brandwatch, therefore, migration of users of "historical" services is already significant. Whether at Spotify, first question obviously, but also the main competitors: Pandora, Play Music Unlimited, Rdio or the Tidal controversial Jay Z.

Things promised, things due: the Cupertino yesterday deployed the update to iOS 8.4 which includes the application "Music" and audio streaming services which we do not keep talking: Apple Beats Music and 1. recall, the first competitor to Spotify is based exclusively on a pay system with three months of testing offered; and the second is an accessible digital radio for free, emitted from three cities (London, New York and Los Angeles) and funded by advertising. At WWDC, Apple confirmed that Beats 1 would be available in a hundred countries from the start (including France). We did not know if it would be different for streaming offering. Finally, we are housed in the same boat as Americans: YES! The opportunity therefore to discover this new music application and operation of the musical offering. You will first notice that the application icon has changed somewhat to approach the latest graphics standards of the operating system. By opening the application, you see five tabs: "for you" (made suggestions based on iTunes purchases, followed the artists and musical preferences), "new" (the latest artists and albums last arrived in the catalog ), "radio", to which we return, "connect", where the user finds the information, videos, photos and news of artists followed, and finally "my music". In this section are the songs purchased from iTunes playlists and personal. It is always possible to classify songs by artist, album, song, genre and composer. It is this latter tab which includes all the features of the old Music application. A fairly simple operation appearance By logging in for the first time to one of the first two tabs, Music offers instantly benefit from three months to test the pay offer. If you decide to accept, you are leading in a recommendations customization process, one of the great strengths of Beats Music. Two steps: loved musical genres and favorite artists. It works through a bubble system. Press once to love. Press both to worship. You stay support three seconds to remove a genre or artist.

The enemy of my enemy is still my friend? In most cases, of course. It is even a golden rule when it comes to tackle a mastodon music like Apple. And even if you are yourself a mastodon mobility. Google and Samsung have obviously understood. Although the Korean giant wants to limit its technological relationship with the US firm, he knows seize every opportunity to annoy its main competitor, especially during such a strategic launch Apple Music. From 3 to 6 months free for the purchase of a Galaxy Yesterday, the Cupertino published the iOS update that introduced the new version of Music app. And parallel, Samsung and Google unveiled a marketing partnership around Play Music Unlimited and Galaxy S6. The information was revealed by our Canadian colleagues MobileSyrup. To purchase the flagship Korean, American offers six month subscription to Music Unlimited Play. If Canadian consumers crack for a less ambitious model (or newer), Google will be slightly less generous since the trial period is halved. Note that Google usually gives only one month trial to Play Music Unlimited. According MobileSyrup this trial offer is meant landing the recent launch of free streaming music offering from Google, which is not accessible in the country of maple syrup. However, the schedule seems too good to be coincidence. No other local subsidiary of Samsung or Google seems to have signed such an agreement. But its extension to other countries is not impossible.

We know since last spring that Google is up to something in the world of video game parts streaming. But recently, Google has made a big step. There are two weeks, Google went to the Tokyo Game Show, one of the big international Masses of gaming. On site, the Mountain View giant has introduced its next project related to video gaming and Android, naturally. A double communication operation in a country where the mobile game becomes an institution, but where the iPhone remains the undisputed leader in the telephony market. The announcement made at the Tokyo salon, succinct, announced the arrival of a video game streaming service from Android to YouTube. This will be accessible via the gaming hub of the OS and will rely on the same principle (but that, Google has not specifically said) that Twitch, the popular streaming platform that the Mountain View giant tried to buy last year before being blocked by US antitrust authorities. Google Play Games finally useful? Google has not detailed its operation, but our colleagues of Android Police have discovered some clues by analyzing version 3.3 of Play Games application. So it seems that the functionality is not available in the game: the installation of Play Games, including the latest, be mandatory. Which would provide a little more meaning and function to a hub to date quite poor (and therefore largely dispensable). This should be achieved by the arrival (or activation) of a new feature that will be similar to Screen Cast, already present in the Chromecast control application. It seems that two video definitions will be offered from 480p and 720p. There are two usual standards in the video on the Internet (in the audiovisual and in general). Nothing says 1080p monitor, but it might seem logical if Play Games landed on TVs via Android TV. There will also be options on the different sources that will be attached to the streaming: besides the main screen of the smartphone, it will be possible to record sound (for voice) and image (to film the player's head by example). As many obvious answers that offers Twitch, but also YouTube. Google Android TV Cast and put to use All this is obviously trite, given the competition. However, we must link this service to other technological components already sighted in our columns this past year. We think including Google Cast. As a reminder, Google Cast is a standard for transmitting and receiving a streaming flow. A standard that supports Android, iOS, and Android TV Chromecast (and YouTube, of course). In short, everything needed to broadcast and watch a live broadcast. Obviously, Google is working hard to regain control of the area of ​​streaming live on the Internet with YouTube. Lost to Twitch, the reference of the segment, particularly in the gaming sector, this sector is a boon, because it consists of a loyal and passionate audience more sensitive to an advertisement or a targeted promotional campaign. The stakes are obviously huge and there is no question of leaving Twitch for Google and Amazon (the owner) time to consolidate their lead.

Last year, the installation rate of 8 on iOS the first weeks after the launch firmware was significantly worse than that of iOS 7. The latter brought the Flat Design Jony Ive, which explained a craze. But the difference observed with iOS 8 was not just a lack of interest. It turns out that the weight of the archive was too important to smartphone users (or tablet) with only 16GB of origin. A lack of space so that obviously sobering oils Cupertino, with existential question became: How to reduce the footprint of system memory installed? For the more space available, the user downloads more and more it consumes! And above all, the more he feel satisfied. In short, it is "win-win".

Between the output of Xperia + Z3 and Z5 Xperia marketing, there were only four short months, a faster time than the half-year renewal that seemed to abandon Sony earlier this year. The Xperia Z4 (Japanese version of the Z3 +) was formalized in April. Its international counterpart was the end of May for commercial release, Darty, June 24 As for the Xperia Z5, it was made official on September 2, at the IFA and was released commercially last few days. That certainly will make us understand why the Xperia + Z3 was a link between the Xperia Xperia Z3 and Z5, it proves to be the true successor of the Sony line up last year. This hypothesis is also revealed in the data sheet well as ergonomic aspects. Some changes made by Sony on the + Z3 on the bottom and the form found naturally on the Z5.

Moreover, the store reveals not only its design, you end up with the visual above, but also a data sheet and a price. The latter would be set at 249 dollars, 220 euros. What appears to be a great price considering the promise, the site explains that the smartphone has a screen of 5.5 inches Ful HD (resolution of 401 pixels per inch), an octo-core MediaTek MT6795 (Helio X10) 2 GHz, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB to 16 internal storage. Not bad to below 250 euros. Continue to browse the data sheet: battery would have a capacity of 3050 mAh, the camera displays 13 megapixels and 5 megapixels webcam. It would be consistent n WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE (FDD standard, as in France) with the frequencies 1800 and 2600 MHz bands (not 800 MHz). Finally, the OS that would give life to this smartphone would be Yunos, alternative branch of Android created by the Chinese giant Alibaba (through its subsidiary AliYun). The international version is compatible Google Play services (and therefore with the Play Store). The version of Android as a basis to Yunos would Lollipop (5.1). A false-sheet Several elements make us think that this data sheet is made only from rumors, not official evidence obtained in phase advance. First, it would not be the first time qu'Oppomart launches such a product. Since there is a history, it makes sense to take all its information with tweezers, even if found to be ultimately true. Then, the only details missing in this data sheet are those that have never been discussed by rumors: Product dimensions and colors. Finally, the site announced that Yunos will be the operating system of the mobile, even in international version, while the visual that accompanies this form FlymeOS this product (which we now know well, since it is the same version with the MX5 and m2 note. For us, this data sheet is made from recent rumors. So do not rely too much at that price, even if at first glance it is not only consistent, but also interesting . See you in two days for all official information.

We learn that the Galaxy is 5 was equipped with a 5 inch HD screen like the Galaxy A5 E5 or J5, except that it is based on a simple TFT and not AMOLED panel. So positioned below these three models and this is confirmed by the technical platform that seems to have inherited from the Galaxy J2, with a quad-core Exynos 3475 chipset clocked at 1.3 GHz and 1.5 GB in the center RAM and 8GB of internal memory around. A microSD slot is also mentioned. For the photo, we find the same equipment as the Galaxy E5: 8 megapixel sensor on the back, 5 megapixel sensor on the front. The battery gives his side a capacity of 2600 mAh, like the Galaxy J5. Android 5.1 Lollipop is obviously in control, masked by TouchWiz overlay the course builder. Everything is stored in a fairly traditional plastic chassis. Its price should be around 135 € after conversion. The existence of the Galaxy ON7 confirmed passage The Galaxy ON5 is an unpretentious entry. He will be accompanied by a larger model, the Galaxy ON7. His record has not been put online, but its manual, though. So it does exist. It is expected around € 175 with a screen, always HD, 5.5-inch, a 13 megapixel camera and a battery of 3000 mAh, while the rest should be inherited from the smaller model.

This surprise is because the price is slightly lower than that found earlier this week on the US plug published early. Bad joke or last minute change following the strong reactions he provoked? Whatever, as long as the difference is to the advantage of the consumer. It is not huge either, $ 50, but it still puts the Priv under the $ 700 mark, with exactly $ 699, and brings a little more flagship stores of competitors that run around $ 649 instead. Note that this does not necessarily mean it will be positioned below the € 700 here ... QHD screen, Snapdragon 808, slider, and 18 megapixel camera Regarding the specifications, nothing new however. We find that we already knew with, as a reminder, a qHD display of 5.4 inches and curved on both sides under which slips a complete mechanical and sensitive keyboard, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chipset supported by 3 GB RAM, 32GB of expandable internal memory, cameras 18 and 2-megapixel and a 3410 mAh battery. The whole packed in a chassis 9.4 mm thick and run by an ultra-secure version of Android Lollipop. Hopefully now we will not have to wait too long to be able to pre-order the Priv in France.

Meizu has introduced a new version of OS FlyMe with Pro 5. It is numbered 5.0 and, if based on Android Lollipop as the previous one, it obviously brings some novelties that might interest users MX5 just reach us . If you are one, please note that an update is planned. It is even already being deployed to believe what he tells in GizChina. FlyMe 5.0 arrives on the MX5 Our colleagues report in fact that FlyMe 5.0 is now available for the old Meizu flagship store, at least in China. Other markets are obviously not mentioned but it is likely that there is a little wait. Especially as the Meizu servers are already saturated. If however you were already invited to download the update, so it is advisable to wait a bit to prevent it is too long. Already it is not light ... The archive weighs a little over 900 MB Many changes expected This is not a small update. Note that it will obviously provide a little more space on the smartphone for decompression and installation, after which you should be able to observe many changes. The interface has been redesigned with a presentation more "flat" and new animations, notifications appear in floating windows, multitasking has been enhanced by a multi-window mode and most native applications have been updated.

Last month, rumors have circulated about a Lenovo Lemon X, supposed to be the first brand to inherit the smartphone Motorola design, and later called Lenovo Vibe X3 by the latest rumors. This time it is one of its variants made about her, since Vibe X3 Lite has just made its appearance on TENAA. With the code name "Legend K51c78 lemon X3 Lite" on the Chinese certification body site, this Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite seems less well equipped than the Vibe X3, especially in terms of RAM and camera equipment. The site Mobile Dad, who relates this information was also shared visual smartphone, which you can see below. If one sticks to the back cover and side slices, this Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite looks exactly like its predecessor. But the rear façade is distinguished, especially at the block containing the dorsal sensor and the fingerprint reader that is issued by the flash. The Lite version is also more compact (153 × 75.9 × 8.7 mm x 76.4 x 154 vs. 9.4 mm) and lighter (152 g vs. 175 g).

It is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop but, as usual, Samsung has not satisfied the version of Google. No TouchWiz here, however. He obviously created a special overlay that revolves around a video hub where gathered of conventional streaming services like YouTube and Netflix, but also those of TV channels like CNN and CBS visible on the visual end Article. In short, it lacks more than the TV tuner and remote control to turn into a real TV. A shelf equipment mid-range It will here be content with the touch screen for navigation. As for viewing content, they will come from the 32/64 GB of internal memory, a MicroSD card or internet, accessible via Wi-Fi or 4G ac. The Galaxy View also supports Bluetooth 4.1 for communicating with other devices (on when a remote control?). Connectivities it owes to the Exynos 7580, chipset octa-core 1.6 GHz particular animates the New Galaxy S5 and that we find here accompanied by 2GB of RAM. A 2.1 megapixel webcam is also present for video conferencing, and a 5700 mAh battery which should provide up to 8 hours of video playback.

Apple seems to have given reason for the refusal, but it is possible that the American company has decided to retoquer this application as a precaution. In fact, she probably wanted to avoid user complaints reckless, which may for example damage to the unit by placing too heavy objects. Yet it exists balance applications on the App Store, but none of them displayed a real precision. Moreover, none of them uses the 3D Touch. Huawei, one of the competitors of Apple, had promised his side it would be possible to measure the weight of an Orange by placing it on the screen of his Mate S, during the presentation of the latter. Equipped with ClearForce technology (at least not for now) the smartphone from the Chinese company would indeed be able to offer functionality designed by Ryan McLeod, but without having to spoon. This is the case of Ryan McLeod, who created an application for the iPhone 6S to turn into food balance. But as we reported on the site 9to5Mac, the idea does not seem to have convinced the Cupertino company, which has not allowed on the App Store. His system was nevertheless quite ingenious as it allowed, after having calibrated the scale with a teaspoon, to accurately determine the weight of the container of the same spoon.

This appears to be true. According to several sources of our colleagues from 9to5Mac, Apple would have chosen the first half of November to begin marketing the tablet and its two dedicated accessories. The date of November 11 is even mentioned or Wednesday of next week. It would therefore only a small ten days before having the opportunity to test the product. Note, however, that even if the wait was not as long as for Apple Watch, it was not until two months before Apple offers the iPad Pro, an excessively long period into account the habits of the firm. According to the sources of this indiscretion on sale this concerns both online stores its network of physical stores, sales forces have the obligation to complete their training about the product before November 6. However, it could not be any pre-order product. Indeed, typically, Apple takes the time to communicate in advance a date for the opening of reservations, a period that usually lasts about a week (but this can stretch up to 10 days). The lack of pre-order on an Apple product is an interesting signal. This means that Apple does not really matter on the general public to generate volumes, like the MacBook Pro and iMacs that are generally sold overnight. During his presentation, in September, Apple has greatly raised the professional world as the main target of this great tablet. The stage presence of Microsoft and Adobe, the multi-window mode, the accessories at launch and price (between 919 euros and 1249 euros, logically) are obviously all signs are unmistakable.

Obviously, as we have you noticed in our published test last week, given the mobile configuration and despite a very nice design, the smartphone may seem a bit expensive at this price, especially when compared to Chinese singers of the report value, like Meizu, Honor and OnePlus. That's why both are important information to report. First, as we learned, HTC has introduced an offer of deferred payment 70 euros, so reducing the price of One A9 to 529 euros. The offer is valid until January 16. Only requirement to qualify, you must purchase the mobile home one of the partners in the operation. Find the complete list of participating stores at this address, as well as all terms (documents to provide, contact address). Then, the mobile home is subsidized operators. Let's begin this overview by Orange. The phone is offered at 70 euros or 140 euros with an Origami Jet, the price varies depending on the options (commitment, roaming consumption). Note that you will have to pay 100 euros more to the order, a sum that will be refunded afterwards. The ODR 100 euros is valid until November 18. Play with Origami, the price of the smartphone starts at 140 euros (without ODR), and gradually goes up if you change the data plan or commitment period. With a package Origami Zen and M6 Mobile, the smartphone price is the same as in open market. And it is blocked Orange ... At SFR, the One A9 is available from 30 euros. Some conditions for this: opt for the package including 15 GB of data, benefit from ODR 200 euros accompanying and pay 3 euros more on your bundle for 24 months commitment. Either the mobile 102 euros at the end of leasing. If you're not prepared to pay 85 euros per month packages, look at other offers. With the 10GB package, the One A9 is proposed at 180 euros (60 euros and 5 euros from every month), including an ODR 100 euros. ODR, which also applies to 5GB package with which the mobile costs 252 euros (60 euros from 8 euros every month). From the package 1GB of data, more ODR. The price of mobile climbs gradually to 472 euros.

Meizu has long taunted us with its smartphones reserved to China, but since last year, most eventually also reach us even though we often one step behind, as with the MX5. Remember. He was put on sale at us while a Pro 5 had just been announced in China. We would also not surprised that some have finally decided to wait until it arrives in France rather than throw himself on the MX5. Well if this is your case, we have good news. Pre order in the French shop Meizu Finally good, but perhaps not as much as you expected. No. The Pro 5 is not yet available in France. But we know when it will be and at what price, since just added in the online shop of Meizu. It is still possible to pre-order but deliveries will not begin until 15 December launch date. As for prices, expect to € 499 for the 32GB version and € 549 for 64 GB. Note that each is available in silver or black with white facade. A high price but justified As expected, Pro 5 is much more expensive than the MX5. The gap is still € 100, but the equipment seems justified. The screen is Full HD, but still larger (5.7 inches). The chipset is faster because it is the Exynos 7420 the latest high-end Samsung. There are also more RAM (4GB, with the 64GB version), a better camera (Exmor RS IMX320 21 megapixel camera with autofocus laser), USB Port-C while the fingerprint reader and webcam mTouch 2 5 megapixel MX5 are obviously preserved.

A variant of the HTC One A9 just been certified by TENAA, the name sour One A9W. The Chinese certification body site on this occasion, and as each recording also published visual and specifications of the smartphone. And the least we can say is that the differences between the HTC One HTC One A9W and A9 are minimal, both aesthetically, as technically. Indeed, by taking its specifications, we find that the smartphone also offers him an AMOLED Full HD 5-inch screen, with the same components inside. Although the chipset is not appointed, the octa-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon SoC corresponds to 617 of One A9. This means that a Adreno 405 GPU should accompany him. The One A9W also include 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which corresponds to one of the configurations of his elder. Photo hand, the One A9W as it features a 13 megapixel sensor on the back, with optical image stabilization (OIS) and aperture of f / 2.0. A webcam Ultrapixel 4 megapixel takes place in turn in front of the phone. Also note the presence of a 4G connection. In fact the only real difference between the A9 One and One A9W seems to lie in the capacity supported by the MicroSD slot. Indeed, as one of the flagship can accommodate a memory card of up to 2 TB, that of One A9W is limited to 128 GB. So we have to expect the official release of this phone to see what HTC wants to give this positioning HTC One A9W. Now that the model was listed on TENAA, this announcement should logically take place in the coming weeks.

After a period of sampling (test production) and benchmarks with manufacturers, Qualcomm has finally decided to present very formally, in New York, its Snapdragon 820. It was time some will say. But the wait is definitely worth it. On Snapdragon 810 standardized octo-core, with Adreno 430 and 28 nm engraving, we turn to a heterogeneous quad-core 14 nm FinFET etched (which confirms the contract with Samsung to manufacture) and accompanied by a GPU Adreno 530. The gap between the two chipsets is considerable. And totally different philosophy. We find all the elements that we presented last July. Namely the four Kryo hearts whose rate can go up to 2.2 GHz today, but as the Krait cores, this limit will certainly grow over time and versions of chipsets (maybe up to 3 GHz) . These four cores are accompanied by the X12 modem (LTE category 12 or 600 Mb / s download and 150 Mb / s upload), the Hexagon 680 for signal processing, the GPU Adreno 530 and the image processor Spectra, which is compatible with the image sensors up to 28 megapixels. The perfect opponent As expected, the Snapdragon 820 is compatible Zeroth, Smart Protect, Quick Charge 3.0 and Wi-Power (wireless charging) and LPDDR4. A beautiful beast that we look forward to position the face of these rivals (Helio X20, Kirin 950, Exynos 7420 and 8890) and will be integrated into smartphones marketed early next year, as we supposed before. This implies that manufacturers will have beautiful formalize their smartphones in the coming weeks, they will not sell them before January. According to rumors, could unveil its Xiaomi Mi 5 in three weeks. An early announcement to wait understanding the fans.
