Samsung Galaxy Note III: professionals should assess

Technology: Departure already thinking for professional use, the new version of the Galaxy Note supports this mission with ergonomic and functional improvements

It has often been said here, in the spirit of its creator, Samsung, the phablet is above all intended for professional use, in particular through the dynamic use of the stylus, multi-windowing etc ...

With its range Note, South Korea has carved from the later in this segment and has attracted many mobile workers. Domination which will certainly strengthened with the arrival of the third version of the phablet, Note III.

Samsung has indeed improved the existing well. in the form of first with a larger screen (5.7 inches against 5.5), greater finesse and above all much less weight than its predecessor: 168 grams against 180.

Under the hood, Samsung has been great with a super fast processor (1.9 or 2.26 GHz) and 3 GB of RAM. No delays on the horizon then. But the pros will focus especially dedicated functions.

Samsung has redesigned its famous S-Pen, this smart stylus that gives access to new functions via a button. Just Air Command fly screen with the stylus and press the button to bring up a circular menu that provides access to actions such as handwriting recognition (S Finder), taking notes convertible into email, calls etc. ... (Action Memo), annotation content and synchronization with third party applications like Evernote (S Note) ...

Smartphones: like Apple, Samsung will move to 64-bit

Technology: After the announcement of the iPhone 5s and its new 64-bit SoC, Samsung has confirmed its intention to adopt this technology for the chip that will facilitate its future smartphones. Beyond the marketing hype, the benefit to users is far from clear.

If Apple thought hold a good head start on the competition with the new 64-bit system that his team was A7 chip architecture iPhone 5s , it should be of short duration. Samsung has confirmed yesterday when he planned to propose the same thing for its upcoming smartphones, likely the Galaxy S5 and Note 4.

And Samsung is not the only puisqu'Intel which this week unveiled its new Atom Z3000 SoC platform based on Bay Trail , has said it will release early 2014 Windows drivers that will allow its chips to manage instructions 64 -bits.

The 64-bit on a smartphone requires 4GB of RAM 

Still, the benefits of 64-bit for a smartphone are probably not nearly jumping in the eyes of users .To take full advantage of these capabilities would require terminals carry at least 4 GB of RAM.The most powerful current smartphones display only 2GB and 4GB passage will not end before 2014 at best see much later. For who said memory also said higher energy consumption, and manufacturers already have great difficulty in combining power and autonomy.

It will also require that the mobile OS and applications use 64-bit, which again is not in the agenda. In short, many conditions that are ready to be filled. Currently, only iOS7 has been optimized for its 64-bit SoC Apple invites developers to update their applications. (Eureka Press)

Patents: Samsung made concessions to Brussels

Legal: According to the European Commissioner for Competition, Samsung has made ​​new proposals in Brussels about the exploitation of patents on "essential".The Korean could find common ground and avoid an antitrust lawsuit.

Samsung makes it a misuse of patents to prevent competition in Europe? Yes had sliced ​​the European authorities , who in 2011 opened an investigation into the practices of the Korean manufacturer. 

And this process will soon come to an end. This was suggested by the European competition commissioner, Joaquin Almunia, in a speech in New York. 

Patents: Samsung Will he align words and deeds? 

Samsung has indeed submitted new commitments to meet the expectations of Brussels - the previous having been deemed insufficient from the point of view of the regulator. These proposals, which are not detailed says Reuters , will be subject to market. European authorities then decide to approve or not. 

The dispute relates to patents essential to the proper functioning of smartphones and subject to the rules of the FRAND license. For Brussels, Samsung has abused its patents on standardized technologies and require non-reasonable royalties. 

Korean is not the only manufacturer to be criticized in this area. Google, through its subsidiary, Motorola is also accused of not respecting the principles of FRAND license. The manufacturer and demanded $ 4 billion in royalties to Microsoft in exchange for a license on several patents on standards. The U.S. Justice ruled against Motorola. 

Paradoxically, in spite of sometimes abusive practices, major IT, which just Samsung, have formed a coalition in Europe for alarm risk drifts arising from European unitary patent, including the emergence of "patent trolls" and improper use applications sales ban.
