Apple-t-she forgot the iPad ? In recent months, apple has presented very many novelties. iPhone 7, MacBook Pro, TouchBar, AirPods, the innovations are multiplied, but the tablet responds conspicuously absent. On 21 march, it will be a year that the iPad will not have changed. An eternity in technology. The rumors may predict the arrival of a new generation in the months to come, the latter is no longer part of the priorities of Apple. In the Face of this lack of innovation, the tablet market has a tendency to stagnate. It is, however, the central axis of the post-PC era, described by Steve Jobs in 2010. the iPad must it reinvent itself to better exist ? It is the opinion of the chronique geek meltyStyle.
The 3 next April, the first tablet of apple will be celebrating its 7 years old. Since its introduction, it has revolutionized the uses. It has a large screen and the power in the hands of millions of people. But in the face of the iPhone, still the king of smartphones, the iPad has always had a hard time to exist. TouchID, Retina display, or 64-bit processor, Apple has booked the first of these innovations to its smartphone. The tablet had to wait sometimes months before you have the right. Even today, this is a private 3D Touch or haptic feedback. Without these new features, the iPad was hard to arouse the enthusiasm of the crowds. Little surprise, then, to see the sales decline quarter-to-quarter.
The innovations of the iPad should not be limited to its screen size. Apple should give more importance. The Apple Pencil or TrueTone should not be the only new additions. 2017 could be the year of the redesign of the tablet american. Since the generation of ” Air “, released in 2013, its design has remained essentially the same. Many advances have nevertheless been made in the last 4 years. In the Face of the iPhone and MacBook always innovative, the current iPad seems a little behind the curve. The competition has also had time to organize. The latest Microsoft Surface or the next Samsung Tab S3, which will be presented at MWC, will no longer have to be ashamed in the face of the Apple tablet. The brand needs to regain its leadership if it wants to save the iPad. do you Own an iPad ?
Everyone seeking an experience of pure Android has on the Nexus and on Pixel Google the best alternative. Updated frequently and with all the news of Android, are the machines of choice.
But those who are not able to, or want to have these smartphones, always told with the Launcher of Google, the Now, which gave them the whole picture and the basic features. Google will, unfortunately, remove the Google Now Launcher to the Play Store soon, not leaving any alternative.
Present in Android since version 4.1, this Launcher has been a long time restricted to the Nexus, part of your uniqueness. Slowly Google has opened up to the rest of the Android world, extending their use.
But after all these years, and with multiple updates and improvements, Google seems to be preparing to discontinue and remove from its app store. This information is to be sent by e-mail to all partners that use the Google Mobile Services. The message is clear and indicates that the Google Now Launcher will come out of the Play Store. However, Google will continue to give support to this software.
Google has warned still that despite ceasing to provide the Google Now Launcher, its partners can use the "Search Launcher", which gives access to research and information cards, and should be incorporated into other Launchers, which are developed, or that Google provides in the AOSP.
for most manufacturers this will be a simple problem to solve, because many of them already have their Launchers themselves, in the case of the Nexus will be much more complicated.
The Google Now Launcher is the standard of these equipment for several years now, and Google has decided that they will not make the new version, the Pixel Launcher. This change comes so leave these devices without a support and updates. The possibility that exists is that Google change its decision and pass to be available already in the Android 7.1.2, the Pixel Launcher for the Nexus 6P and 5X.

it Is still possible that Google do with the Pixel Launcher which he did in the past with the Now Launcher. Shall make it available on the Play Store for everyone to use.
it is Still too early to have any certainty, but Google will want to have a strong presence in your market, guaranteeing that the searches are made on your search engine and that users use its services, using for this the your Launcher.

In one fell swoop last October, Google launched its new Pixel phones and killed off its beloved Nexus devices.
If you own a Nexus and still feel betrayed, there might be some good news on the horizon.
It wouldn’t be the first Pixel feature to find its way to the Nexus. Google recently brought the Pixels’ “fingerprint swipe” gesture, which lets you swipe up and down on the fingerprint sensor to scroll through notifications to the Nexus 5X, due to popular demand.
If Hall”s source is right, Google is porting the Assistant to the Nexus 5 and 6P would be a dramatic shift in strategy for the company.
When the Pixels were announced, Google said the Assistant would be exclusive to its new phones and Google Home. The Assistant, Google said, would be one of the key differentiators and major selling points of the Pixel and Pixel XL.
Google porting the Assistant to the Nexus 5 and 6P would be dramatic shift in strategy.
But as I noted in my Pixel review, while the Assistant is good (especially at understanding context), limiting it to just Google hardware hurts more than it helps since it’ll only be used by the smaller subset of Android users who can affords to pay big bucks for a premium device.
The rest of Android’s users — the midrange and even upper-budget tier — are left completely out of the loop.
Putting the Assistant on more devices (even if they’re old ones) would greatly expand its user base and machine-learning capabilities. I’d even argue it’s the “Google way” of doing things.
Google’s Nexus phones might not be the only devices that will get the Assistant. Android TV’s getting it via the Nexus Player. Leaks suggest the Assistant will also make its way to the company’s two flagship Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches, which could be announced on Feb. 9. The same goes for LG’s upcoming flagship G6 phone.
Google Assistant, which is a bit like a conversational Google Now, was announced at last year’s Google I/O. While so far it has only been available for Pixel smartphones, the latest rumor is that it will be coming to Nexus devices soon. The two lucky Nexus devices that will be the first to receive the assistant are the 5X and the 6P.
Google Assistant is Google’s own intelligent assistant, which differs from Google Now in that it doesn’t require direct, specific commands. It can understand the conversational speaking style, so you can make requests naturally. If you’ve never seen it before, check out the video below.
The addition of Google Assistant to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6P is due to come with the next “major” update, according to a source familiar with the topic, which you can see in the Tweet below. Perhaps this means we’ll have to wait beyond the next Nougat maintenance update (7.1.2), or even until the release of Android O.
In addition to the 5X and 6P, Google Assistant will be coming to the Nexus Player as well. The director of Android TV, Sascha Prüter has confirmed it, but we still don’t know exactly when Google Assistant will come to each device.
Are you excited about Google Assistant? Or are you unimpressed? Let us know in the comments.
Apple has closed without further explanation the web service “Block Activation”, which allowed you to lock (and unlock) the iPhone and iPad stolen or lost. In reality, the system had a flaw that allowed attackers to unlock the iPhone and the iPad locked, which also causes problems to other unsuspecting users.
Apple has not issued any official communication, but it is possible to understand what happened, starting from the web service removed last Monday. All the latest generations of iPhone and iPad can be locked irreversibly in the event of loss or theft, so that they can resold because they may not be associated with information of a new user at the expense of the old. The web-based system, however, according to when he writes MacRumors, he would have had a serious security problem that allowed hackers to act, not only unlocking the phones and tablets that are lost, but even blocking those unsuspecting computer users.
The problem would be related to a weakness in the security of the Apple ID (the software that Apple associates the digital identity of a user to a particular iPhone or iPad) that would, by changing the last two numbers of the code associated with the phone (the codes IMEI, and ICCID), to unlock a particular phone or tablet that was locked by the owner because lost or stolen when you guess a number that belongs to another registered device.
This is the second element, as reported in a series of reports emerged in the network of users who have seen it suddenly stop responding to their phone or tablet-Apple, because of a problem with collateral. The manoeuvre of the workers of iniquity, in fact, would move the block from the stolen phone to another device, the innocent, whose only misfortune is to have a code of IMEI and ICCID is equal to that “found” by the thieves.
For this reason, according to the reconstructions of the specialized sites in the us, Apple would have decided to close temporarily (or perhaps permanently) the website of the service Block Activation.
VERONA – To sell, or not to sell, that is the question.
Augusta County must soon decide whether to sell the Nexus Services the additional land in the Mill Place Commerce Park development in Verona where the company’s existing offices are headquartered.
Nexus is hoping to purchase the 4.4 acres next to its current facility to expand its Verona operations and this is the only piece of property that will get that done, Nexus CEO Mike Donovan said.
On the county’s side of things, Board of Supervisors Chairman Tracy Pyles argues that all future developments in the park should be sold to companies for manufacturing use, this use returns the best investment per square foot to Augusta citizens. However, the land Nexus hopes to purchase is situated in the front section, called “Area 1″ in the draft master plan for the park (embedded below), which as it stands is designated in the plan for office space development and potentially the hotel — not manufacturing.
Add into that mix the fact that Nexus has had a history of friction with Augusta County in June 2016, the company filed a $ 1.2 million federal lawsuit naming the Augusta County Sheriff Donald Smith and other county employees of the defendants. How will the county play this?
Pyles said he anticipates the board will likely make a decision on whether to sell the land to Nexus at the supervisors’ regular meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 8, probably during the closed session, though Pyles said he would prefer to settle the matter during their regular open meeting. After that decision is reached among the board, the next step would be to reevaluate whether the park’s master plan should be re-worked to shift the slated office space land use to additional manufacturing land use.
In the master plan, produced by the Timmons Group, advanced manufacturing was estimated to produce a potential investment of $ 300 per square foot, while office space or commercial use would produce a potential investment of $ 90 per square foot. Pyles said when he has carried out manufacturing could potentially net the county more than three times the revenue back on its investment, he then asked the Timmons Group about revising the plan from the mixed-use development to all manufacturing and the contractor said that would work well and still be attractive to companies.
“You try to adjust with new information,” Pyles said. “We are responsible for these investments that we’ve made and I think the taxpayer very much wants us to get the best return on his investment.”
With its location right off I-81, the park is the “premier manufacturing site,” and “I don’t think we should diminish it in any way by having anything other than the manufacturing,” he said. He’s asked the rest of the Board of Supervisors about revising the mixed-use plan, but “at this point there has been forward movement,” the other supervisors want to figure out the Nexus decision first.
Donovan said he could understand that argument if the county had a list of buyers lined up for the property — “if there were a line of manufacturers beating down the door to buy that land, that would make sense,” he said. But given that he sees none, he can’t see the reason why the county shouldn’t sell the Nexus the land.
"What’s the point of that?" he said.
The county can sell the Nexus, the land next to its current offices and use the other land in the development for manufacturing purposes — “I think the county has the win-win,” he said, especially since the Nexus isn’t asking for any tax breaks or incentives for development, just the land as it is. “We’re asking for nothing.”
Donovan said he hasn’t come up with another strategy should the county decides to deny the sale. He’s confident Nexus”s history with the county wouldn’t influence the Board of Supervisors to not sell the company the land.
“It would be so shocking to me that I have not considered a Plan B,” he said. “I can’t imagine that the Board of Supervisors would engage in such an action that would really hurt the people that they serve.”
The new Nexus facility would bring 200 jobs to Verona that would pay at least $ 12 per hour and offer full benefits, Donovan said, and so “whatever concerns I may have are set aside by confidence that the members of the Board of Supervisors will do what’s best for the county.”
Nexus actually previously had a contract in place to buy the land in question under the same terms — all the company had to do was exercise it — but Donovan said he got the letter in December 2016 from the county that the contract had expired. He said he didn’t exercise the right to purchase the land sooner because of the delay in finishing the plans for the buildings, but that there’s never been a question in his mind of the company’s intention to buy the land.
If the county agrees to the purchase, he said he would hope to close the sale by March or as soon as the county is ready and then begin construction in late spring to early summer of the the first building of the expanded Nexus facilities.
Pyles said the county has turned companies away in the past because the board is “looking for a certain type of company to come in” — they want the best opportunity to get people jobs.
as far as other interested parties in the land, should the Nexus be denied the purchase, Pyles said, “we have several active prospects,” and that he hopes to have more announcements this year and that the priority for the development is manufacturing moving forward.
Whatever the county decides to of holds significant weight, the revenue potential from the fully built-out Mill Place Commerce Park is great for the county — it could generate about $ 2.1 million in additional real estate and machinery and tool tax revenue per year, the Timmons Group estimates. Fully building out the park is anticipated to take another $ 20 million or so in infrastructure costs, like road, landscaping and water and sewer utility improvements though.

The new teckningsappen Linea from the Iconfactory delivers properly, with great support for Apple Pencil and an intuitive interface.
Icon Factory can do more than just design great looking icons. The studio is also behind a number of IOS apps, of which the most famous probably is the Twitter client Twitterific. Now is the Icon Factory, however, back in the spotlight with yet another app, this time exclusively for the Ipad.
Linea called the, and is a teckningsapp in particular built around the Apple Pencil. Although it’s possible to draw with your finger too, but it is not recommended. Ever since the Ipad Pro was launched in 2015, it is Apple themselves who set the standards to use the Apple Pencil without any lag – best works Notes with its built-in drawing mode. Other apps have managed various good to accomplish a quick and laggfri uppelvelse, regardless of whether it is in text notes, or artistic creation.
Linea is the first app I encountered where laggen is just as good as Apple’s Notes. It is not entirely free from the lag, and by drawing bushy and fast with many features, it is possible to get the device to lose the speed. But during normal use, interferes with it is not at all, but the bar is floating under the pen just as fast as if it were a real paper. It feels phenomenal, and is something that all third party apps should strive towards.
The other thing that makes the Linea a pure pleasure to use is the interface, which is exemplary, free of buttons, options, and controls. Of course there are more advanced apps to create, but few that are this easy to use compared to the features offered. Here are five stocks to draw away, and a number of different virtual pappersbakgrunder and patterns. It is clear that the app is tailored for the developers, for a part of the templates is the outline of tablets, mobile phones or app-icons. Perfect for sketching up a quick layout of the app before the hard coding starts. The other pattern is a grid of different size and kinds – a favorite is the isometric grid that will certainly appeal to many game developers who want to design courses.
Stock and setting for backgrounds is located on a small control panel on the right hand side of screen, along with the various pens available to choose from. Nor here is there any weirdness; this includes pencil, ink and marker pen. All have three different sizes at the tip. It is also possible to select if, for example, överstrykningspennan should be additive or non-additive. The latter makes it possible to draw on previous field and replace the color, while it förstnämda allows the two fields mixed up.
On the other side of the screen there is a control panel for color selection, and here is the app automatically nearby shades. This makes it very easy to for example, the shadow of an object, or find colors that fit well together. It is also possible to save your own colours here and build together their own palette. The entire interface does a very good job at keeping the screen free from too much control. Nyansvalen and other settings folds up from the grundknapparna, and disappear when they are no longer used. Full focus on the actual signing.
The five layers is, of course, in the smallest team compared to Photoshop and Pixelmator, but does just fine for what the app is for; namely, sketches and creativity. It is easy to, for example, sketch up a drawing with pencil in grundlagret, and then fill in with more details, ink and colors in the layers above.
another snilledrag that Linea offers for subscription with Apple Pencil is that the user’s finger smoothly works like the eraser. It is much easier to just drag your finger to remove an unsuccessful dash than to choose suddverktyget with the pen. Nifty!
Linea is a premiumapp, and costs accordingly. 109 crowns to the Icon Factory, and then it acts like I just said with the Ipad, and is in all honesty the best suited for the Ipad Pro with Apple Pencil. For those who are on the lookout for a really smooth and intuitive app for sketching and drawing, it is however among the best so far. Full points for the Linea from the Icon Factory.
Sales of the Ipad continue to fall, but Apple ceo Tim Cook promises exciting updates.
In its latest quarterly report, Apple announced that they sold 13.1 million Ipad devices during the quarter covering christmas 2016. The corresponding quarter of the previous year, was sold at 16.1, and compared with the 26 million units sold in the corresponding quarter of 2013, the amount halved.
Apple ceo Tim Cook has on several previous occasions, expressed its confidence in the #Ipad, and said during the quarterly report, once again, that he was optimistic. Cook says:
– We have some exciting things in the works when it comes to the Ipad, and I am optimistic about the direction in which it goes. Customer satisfaction is phenomenal. For the Ipad Pro are the 99 percent. So I see a lot of good things, and hope for better results.
Apple is the market leader when it comes to tablets, but other manufacturers are experiencing declining sales, according to data from research Firm IDC, the Worldwide. Samsung is the second largest as regards the shipped units, and were off by 8 million plates during the last quarter; a decrease of 11.4 per cent. Only two manufacturers managed to grow compared with last year; Lenovo and Huawei, which sold 3.7 and 3.2 million units.
According to IDC’s report, it is still Apple’s simpler Ipad-models that account for the majority of sales, that is to say, the Ipad Air 2 and the Ipad Mini rather than the more advanced and more expensive Ipad Pro. Apple reveals itself not how many of each model they sold.
One reason for the declining sales can be considered that most consumers do not update an Ipad or other plate as often as a smart mobile phone. For Apple’s part, it may mean that many Ipad owners are still using an older model and don’t see any need to update.

Farewell books, bye bye pen and paper. At school you learn with the iPad and with a motto fixed in the head. "we Want to change the world, we started from the school" is the slogan that accompanies the "revolution educated" – so like to call it – of the Istituti De Amicis, a secondary school, the secular equal of Milan. A revolution their was launched about seven years ago, when in September 2010, they began shipping the first ipads to students and teachers. From 2015, Institutions De Amicis are the Apple Distinguished School, an integral part of the worldwide program in the settore education APPLE.
to understand how To exploit the potential of the instrument to the best it took at least a year. In this period, tell Tuttoscuola, "our thoughts have been aimed at understanding how an iPad would help students improve their knowledge and teachers to work more effectively".
their revolution started by three people, Giulio Massa (ceo of the Institutes, De Amicis), Stefano Massa (dean of school) and Angel Dalessandri (Science teacher, responsible for teaching innovative and Apple Distinguished Educator, Apple Education Trainer). In a time in which the school and the digital does not always manage to go hand in hand, these three people have brought forward their idea to innovation and the future. Are able to demonstrate concretely the benefits of their revolution by using the same tools that they had put in the hands of teachers and students. Once a month they gather in the presidency, the rules of the match are simple: no judgment on the opinions of others, and a theme hard, "How to change everything that we have done up to now?".
iTunes U is their window on the world. Thanks to this Institutions De Amicis able to participate in many public events, many of which have been called in to talk about their experience of innovation arrived on the benches of the school. Thousands of students have downloaded their courses.
the aim of this "revolution ” educated" Institutions De Amicis is to improve the learning of the students. their pupils are active members of the school and benefit from the advantages arising from the use of the iPad becoming, in their turn, the authors of the change. Students, in fact, is issued with an iPad managed by the MDM server that makes it possible to transfer content and information in the most efficient and economical way. the Istituti De Amicis have also adhered to the Apple School Manager from its initial stages, and this is very facilitating the management of the iPad.
the open Door to the digital-to-school, therefore, but not only. One of the projects that, in fact, is very much at the heart Institutes De Amicis is one of the Hospital School. Also there would have to get their revolution: "our school – we are told – will donate 47 iPad 2 to the project School in the Hospital, and will follow the start of the teaching activities with a cycle of training and coaching. The Istituti De Amicis, and the trainers involved, work on this project in the form of a free view of the nature of the project. The objective of the project is to help the teachers follow the children who attend the hospital for treatment long to develop courses on iPad".

Apple’s latest quarterly report shows that Ipad sales continue to decline. Ceo Tim Cook, however, is of good courage.
Sensitive quarterly report from Apple surprised everyone and beat analysts ‘ expectations. But a category of products continues to deliver the disappointments: the Ipad.

Apple’s most successful product, the Iphone, was initially supposed to be a tablet, before the company thought about and decided to make a mobile.
But the Ipad as a product has never really lifting, at least not with Apple’s standards. The figures from the latest quarter show that the company sold just over 13 million Ipads, which generated revenues of 5.5 billion u.s. dollars, equivalent to slightly more than sek 50 billion. For almost any other company at any time, it would have been amazing numbers but when it comes to Apple is the bar higher. As a comparison, the generated the Iphone, which accounts for a majority of the company’s sales, 54,4 billion dollars in revenue during the past quarter.
the Ipad has now been in existence for seven years and a few years ago, falling sales growth, as evidenced by the charts below which show the moving average from the last four quarters (via Sixcolors).
Compared with the same quarter last year, revenues from the Ipad, with 22 percent, while the number of units sold fell by 19 per cent. It means that Apple has a lower average revenue from every sale of the Ipad, something that may indicate that the products are reduced in price.
During the conference call was Apple’s ceo Tim Cook to the question about how he looks on the Ipad. He explained that he is "very optimistic" concerning the Ipad’s future, and pointed among other things, on customer satisfaction with the product is brilliant. He also stated that many of those who buy an Ipad are doing it for the first time.
Tim Cook also pointed out that a large number of Ipads have been shipped out to the customer the corresponding quarter of last year, which affects the comparison figures.
Apple’s latest Ipad was launched in the first half of 2016, it remains to see if Apple makes a new upgrade of the product and the software in order to reverse the trend.
