As the resource The Wall Street Journal, Sony is considering options to avoid the use of physical media for games in the next generation of its gaming system PlayStation 4, but ultimately rejected the option to stay on the good old optical drive Blu-ray, and are used in today's gaming systems Japanese company.
The company already offers a wide range of games through their service PlayStation Network, available on systems PS3, PSP and PS Vita. Let a lot of players and enjoy multilayer online projects, a lot of people prefer to download games, but still most of the high-end projects are still available on physical media.
The gaming industry has long been a way for the increasing development of digital distribution. The most striking example of the PC can serve as a platform Steam from Valve. The company offers a lot of games from the publisher, and a series of its own projects such as Left 4 Dead, Half-Life and Portal.
It is reported that Sony has decided to abandon the concept of lack of support for physical media, because as an Internet connection is not developed uniformly over the world. As a result, many users will have to face a long and grueling series of downloading games, occupying tens of gigabytes. Announce PS4, as well as the Xbox 720, is not expected this year.
has updated Android declination 4.2, which may appear on the LG Optimus G version of Nexus, introduce a number of improvements in the management of energy and store Google Play.
LG Optimus One Android 4.2 Nexus G launched next month
Google is expected to unveil a new Android update next month. According to the site Android and Me, this Android 4.2 will be introduced with a new smartphone LG Optimus G "Nexus". It would be a priori the same version as the Optimus G must happen in Europe in October: 4.7-inch HD display, Snapdragon S4 Pro processor 1.5 GHz and 13 megapixel camera sensor.
Android 4.2 would be updated with minor to major new improved energy management and adjustments to Play Google online store. The strategy for the Nexus devices has evolved. Google does look more exclusive with only manufacturer but has established technical prerequisites which manufacturers must comply to display the name Nexus.
With the sixth
update of its mobile operating system, Apple has not sought to fundamentally
revolutionize the practice, as he had been able to do with the appearance of
the store, for example. We
feel that Passbook has great potential and could be more than just a
door-boarding passes, tickets, tickets and electronic coupons, but it is still
too early to judge. The
other big project io6, which is also still not finished, this is the Maps
application and the new mapping system, which replaces, with more or less
success, Google Maps.
Two
big news then, but beyond an innovation too shy, we would have liked Apple
focuses on the applications that came with iOS. Used
regularly, they are often a little frustrating or sometimes lack satisfy us for
a stupid detail.
So
we walked the applications installed by default on io6 and listed a few points
we would like to see improved in the iOS version 7 or why not update 6.1 ...
Tell
us what you think and send us your ideas for improvements in this comment
section. We will
integrate the most relevant ...
iOS: the
heart of the operating system
The
mobile OS Apple has a big room for improvement functional. No
need to say Android or have jailbroken iPhone. We
list a few points, but we are focused primarily on applications built into iOS.
-
This will probably counter to the vision of Apple, who wants to avoid overflows
to control the quality of the user experience and simplicity, but the
appearance of a file manager is not delusional to time
when smartphones and tablets become everyday tools which handle many documents.
- Same
thing for the user account creation on iOS. A novelty that
would be welcome especially on the iPad.
-
The ability to remove the basic applications for iOS, mainly for those who are
not strategic: Weather, Stocks, etc.. and cluttering the pages of
the iPhone. With a special
mention for Kiosk application.
Notification center
The
arrival of the center of notifications was a good news for all those eyeing the
side of Android or iPhone jailbroken without wanting to leap. Without
turning it into choppy mess, one can easily imagine that it would be possible
to develop and use more effectively the display area.
enlarge
-
First of all, Apple could add shortcuts (we do not call them voluntarily
widgets) to access some settings. Eg
turn on / off Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, location, etc..
-
There may even be a kind of pop-up box that would display, like Facebook and
Twitter buttons, depending on the applications open when displaying the center
of notifications. One
way to quickly access specific settings or options to an app.
Mail
The
new version of the e-mail client for iOS already includes some new welcome
flags and VIP function.
enlarge
-
But we would also like to see happen, as with Sparrow, the ability to manage
Gmail labels.
-
To centralize and process more easily attachments could also imagine a
dedicated directory, which will be accessible via the file manager built into
iOS.
-
Many of us are an incredible number of e-mails every day. Hence,
to avoid saturation, need to do a little cleaning and classify e-mails in local
directories on the hard drive of the host computer. We
can imagine some directories to synchronize local e-mail with iCloud / Dropbox
/ SkyDrive / etc. so they are always
accessible from Mail.
Plans
Apple
passed Google Maps overboard, which, of course, led to some loss of data or
services displayed: StreetView farewell ...
However,
the function of navigation with voice guidance is a significant step forward. Yet it would be welcome:
enlarge
-
Display views "real" or 3D exits and junctions to make changes in
itinerary.
-
Allow, on the basis of enrichment cooperative, add points of interest or
"danger zones."
-
Provide also a navigation node, which would indicate optimally like going from
point A to point B starting car, then on foot, by bus or subway, etc..
-
To improve the accuracy and relevance of traffic information.
-
All this without mentioning obviously improve the mapping of existing and
adding new cities in 3D.
Safari
The
browser on Apple iOS has also experienced small improvements. But
since the arrival of Chrome, competition seems more solid.
-
Reinforcing the impression that we should be able to choose the default browser
on Apple's mobile OS.
-
Use Chrome, precisely, we realize that it is absurd that the configuration
tools are not accessible Safari Safari but since having to go through Settings.
Why
not use the notification center "contextualised"?
-
Merge finally address bar and the search bar, as is also the case in Safari on
Mac OS X.
-
Remove or increase the limit of eight tabs open simultaneously.
-
Rethinking displaying open pages to navigate faster: a mosaic? As a hand of playing cards? As
a pop-up list (or folder, such as that used for applications) when holding your
finger on the Safari icon?
Notes
Whether
it note idea, write a reminder, a list of books, disks or consult buy Notes is
a handy tool. However,
it has hardly evolved since its birth. Without
making a real word processor, we would like this:
-
To emphasize part of the text, italicize or bold, etc..
-
Share a note as editable document in order to establish a list to multiple
users. We
imagine and build a shopping list for Christmas several people, for example.
-
It would be also be open to the Notes sync with Dropbox and SkyDrive or other
Google Drive.
-
Finally, like any good tool for taking notes, you should be able to integrate
images and sounds may, also without making an equivalent of Evernote.
Camera and photo
sharing
The
iPhone 5 8 Megapixel sensor maintains but improves in low light, and iOS brings
the Panorama function, also available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4 and
3GS. Nevertheless,
further improvements to some from the Android world could be added.
-
The Panorama function is welcome, although limited to 240 °, but have also
enjoyed a burst mode. Like the Galaxy SIII,
to name one.
-
Because Facebook is now integrated into iOS, the fact tag people in a photo
could have any meaning. Yet
they can tag their friends for photos shared with the system proposed by Apple.
-
Precisely, the Shared Photo Stream could be more open. Not
only users of other mobile devices, but also Mac and PC. Sharing via a web site
is relatively small.
Dictaphone
Function
Dictaphone to record their thoughts on the fly but when the sound quality is
not perfect, record maintenance. It would
be much easier if we could and relevant:
enlarge
-
Name or rename files so you can easily identify them. When
you start to have multiple records, it is an ordeal of having to go one by one
to find the right interview.
-
Synchronize directly with its iCloud or Dropbox account, etc.. In
order not to have to go through the tedious manipulations export.
-
To send by e-mail, there should be a automatic recording cut in order to send
the entire file into several parts and many mails. Side
Mac or PC, iTunes could easily manage the end to end delivery of the file.
-
Small detail, but the needle does not often oscillates when recording because
the sound source is too far. This
may worry unnecessarily good place of registration. So,
it should be able to propose a visualization more "sensitive".
Videos
This
is where we find the videos purchased from the iTunes Store and you can read
them. The
interface is very bare, almost as functions. We would like as videos can:
-
Play DiVX files or MKV with subtitles their potential.
That
would solve much use other readers available on the store, but that they
provide a great service, are not as well optimized for our save battery
terminals.
Reminders
If
Recall is not unanimous for those who already use Outlook alerting for example,
the ability to geotag a warning is a good idea.
enlarge
-
Damage, however, we can not define the address that triggers the address
manually positioning it on a map.
-
It would be even more interesting than it could possibly on the basis of opt-in
and moderation, used to add custom points of interest (POI) on the new map that
Apple really needs.
Game Center
Game
Center is beginning to have more appeal than Open Feint, even if it is not able
to bridge the gap between Android and iOS world. However,
it has made great progress recently, one would like to see happen to other
functions.
enlarge
-
One of the pleasures of having fellow players is to communicate with them, not
just the challenge. It
would therefore have Game Center offers a system like Facebook wall to post
messages, screenshots, etc.. and
also a messaging system: either instant or on a principle SMS / iMessage.
-
Some car games will challenge a player and run against him in delay. For
example, your friend is running a race on Monday, you run the same race on
Tuesday. It
might be nice to be able to see / share the videos of these races / fights /
phases of the game before and after the challenge.
-
In a similar vein, see a schedule of parties and progress would be nice.
-
A systematic backup in the cloud of his progressions for all games would be
nice. In
order not to lose everything in case of sudden relocation (without saving) or
change your iOS device. We then resume the
game where you left it.
-
This is not strictly related to Game Center, but it would be good that Apple
allows and encourages the use of Bluetooth controllers to play on iOS, without
the need to pass it to a keyboard and shorts and the keyboard.
FaceTime
Now
we can FaceTime calls from a network operator, 3G. Progress. However,
what should be simple is sometimes a real gas plant. Should be:
-
Can easily call one of its own iOS devices managed by the same iTunes account. It
should for example be able to identify different devices to call the iPhone
connected to this account from the iPad connected to the same account ...
-
Be able to leave a video message (audio only?) Few tens of seconds when you
called someone by FaceTime and he has not responded.
Calendar
With
the new iPhone, the calendar takes advantage of space saving display. However, the application
evolves little.
-
Locate the manner of my friends, who temporarily share your location for
events, we would like to share a portion of its schedule with other users, to
schedule an event, make sure that someone will look good children, etc..
