Google created new bracelets for Android Wear – Pplware

Android Wear is Google’s proposal for the device wearable . This system follows the line of Android being open and available to everyone.

If brands have several offers for smartwatches, accessories proposals are not rich, rarely exist. But to end this situation Google created the MODE, their bracelets.

the new proposal from Google wants to open the doors to the aftermarket within their ecosystem. Are bracelets that can be used in any of the smartwatches Android Wear that are for sale, which makes them almost universal.

With a link mechanism is the same in all models, is simply the process of exchange. This way they can be adapted at any time and any situation.

This mechanism was developed by Google and can be used even in traditional clocks. The first collection will include leather and silicone bracelets with “rainbow colors” to be present.

In the first phase the MODE will be marketed in 16 colors and four different sizes, from the 16mm up to 22mm. The bracelets bring a special tool to adapt to the smartwatches and are compatible with most smart watches.

Although not yet be on sale in Europe, prices in the United States are $ 50 for the silicone version and 60 for versions of leather.

But Google wants to take this further its concept and prepares to open to any brand that wants to create proposals in this area. The concept of MODE is open and can be used by any brand.

Google hopes that in this way the proposals arise more simply, with brands to have available the necessary basis and without having to develop mechanisms and sure to work in almost all smartwatches Android Wear.

This is an important step that Google gives to get so create a line of extra accessories for smartwatches that are associated with your brand.

it is an asset that Apple has in the Watch and every year renews, with new offerings, with new colors and new shapes.

it is hoped that the concept MODE is adopted by most brands and will soon offer even more diverse, thus improving almost zero supply that existed until now.

The case of the Google Android and creating a digital Europe – Economic

The famous economist Joseph Schumpeter spoke of “creative destruction” as the engine of capitalism. Innovation, understood as the development and application of new and revolutionary business models to facilitate economic transactions is undoubtedly the main and the only way in the long term, to increase the standard of living of a society.

Few events illustrate so well this reality as the technological transformation that we have been living in recent years. It is amazing to think that just a decade ago imagined that our economic future would be based on personal computers. It is now clear that the PC were overshadowed by mobile technology. In the US, sales of mobile devices with Internet access exceeded personal computers in 2010 and in 2016 will represent six times more than the last sales.

Despite the overwhelming adoption of these devices by users, the Old Continent continues to feel complexed face the innovative wave from Silicon Valley. Why – ask our leaders – European countries fail to emulate the success of Apple, Facebook and Google? It is the main reason why the European Commission (EC) proposed last year, creating a digital single market whose aim is none other than to join the demand of 500 million consumers and thus promote entrepreneurship in continent in the field of information technology.

Effective competition between suppliers is key. Only through a competition in this nascent digital market will be possible to reach new levels of productivity. To promote this fight between companies is the objective of the Commission in charge of the process that has just started against Android, the mobile operating system from Google.

The competition authorities fear that Google is using its wide market share to promote the adoption of its own applications, including the famous search engine and YouTube online video portal. However, it is very possible that the EC has the wrong shot this time. Being sure that Android has over 70% of the mobile software market compared to 20% of Apple and about 6% of Microsoft Windows, the three companies have clearly different business models. While Apple and to a lesser extent, Microsoft seek maximum integration between its operating systems and their mobile phones, Google works with independent manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei, among others, including Amazon.

This assumes that Google provides more freedom to manufacturers time to incorporate its software. They decide the level of integration of their devices with the Android platform and, optionally, if they want to pre-install a suite of Google applications. In fact, a considerable number of manufacturers in France, Finland and Russia market Android models without any application of Google. In China, about 70% of smartphones on sale comes from the factory without them.

The model of Google is based on greater flexibility for mobile phone manufacturers and greater compatibility between devices. From a commercial point of view it is less advantageous, since, on average, an Android user generates significantly lower income than the average of an Apple iPhone user. However, it is certain that this strategy has enabled Google to expand its market, even though the Android domain is a very recent phenomenon.

There is thus the danger of the European Commission’s intervention to serve, not to enhance competition, but, on the contrary, to undermine long-term innovation. A regulatory intervention would undermine contractual arrangements similar from other manufacturers, thereby reducing the incentive to these (and potential competitors) to innovate in the future. That serves to reach the top if it leads to hostility on the part of public bodies?

It is not unrealistic to say that, in a few years, Google may be overtaken by new companies with better business models. That’s what happened with Microsoft and, before that, with Nokia and IBM. Digital markets are highly dynamic and are far from being restricted to a few large companies, since competition is increasingly strong and diversified. But to preserve the European Union and national governments should ensure a climate of innovation-friendly business. If not, Europe is at risk of falling behind.

Smartphones low cost Android are damage to Microsoft … – Tudocelular.com

The increase in sales of handsets cheap Android is hurting an important income source of the Microsoft . As the owner of Windows is one of the companies that profit from royalty charged for the sale of mobile phones and tablets of green robot on the market, the popularity of low-cost devices influences the amount paid to the Redmond company.

in addition, the charge for the use of intellectual property in Android is done only to manufacturers who have signed royalty . As the leading brands in the world are in the payor group, a significant portion of Chinese companies that come starting to dominate the market low-end , not disburses amount some to Microsoft .

to reverse the situation, the company expects that manufacturers like LG and Samsung , which are also partners on PCs with Windows market, able to grab a bigger slice of line tops market segment led by Apple. The hope is therefore that the LG G5 Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 are able to reverse this scenario.

The Samsung has responded well. In recent reports, the Korean manufacturer presented significant increase in sales Global, doubling its market share compared to Apple. Although this does not mean large increase revenue, it concentrates mainly cheap handsets, the new line of tops have been selling more than expected in some markets.

The question is whether this will be enough to maintain a stable source of income for Microsoft, which is not to make money so soon with its own platform for mobile phones.

Android applications are coming to Chrome OS – Pplware

The latest evidence came in Chrome OS, which very soon will be able to run all Android applications.

it is still present in a very limited way, but the version of Chrome OS testing began requiring the first evidence that will soon have support to run the Android applications.

version 51, which in testing has already been in the definitions a new option that opens the door to the users in order to enable compatibility between these systems.

This is not itself a novelty, since the Google already in 2014 had shown the first features of ARC Welder, but it would appear that now is the time to finally open the thousands of Android applications to this operating system

Discovery by a Reddit user, this new Chrome OS is still hidden and only appears for a few seconds. But who can access the code there to see the ever-present option and prepared to be used in the future.

the last time there were rumors that Google would unify these their two systems reactions were not the best. Most users understand that each of these systems has its own platform and are designed to be used in this way.

This solution, to open the Chrome OS applications from Android, can be a form of food Google’s desktop OS with the required applications, without forcing developers to their having to redo or reschedule.

Check out some new features that are worth mentioning on the Android N – Tudocelular.com

The new mobile operating system from Google, entitled Android N , promises its users a user experience much better than the old versions thanks to the implementation of various interesting news.

several of them have already commented here, but there are other features that are worth mentioning, for example, ADB , which now has significant improvements in performance and can perform push commands, pull, and synchronization faster.

Shell commands also show up much more capable, thanks to its ability to exceed 1024 characters, and the ability to return output codes of remote processes, distinguish commands “stdout” and “stderr” and more.

last but not least, the the new Google platform brings an improved window management, improvements related to the command line tools like “ls” and “sed”, more complete diagnostics for adb / fastboot USB and more stability for automated testing.

One of the proofs that the system really improved, not only in theory and in practice, was published by Eliot Hughes on your Google+ profile, where he says that sync your Nexus 9 went from 60 to 20 seconds.

Many of these improvements can also be noticed in other versions of Android, however, to have access to all the news related to the command adb need to have the version latest service adbd installed on the smartphone or tablet, or in other words, you must be with the Android N installed.

HTC Nexus 9 is not yet available in Brazilian stores. To be notified when it arrives.

Google may allow Android apps to run on Windows – Tudocelular.com

Have you ever imagined can run their Android favorite apps on Windows? It seems that this is Google’s proposal, which is apparently working on a way to run the Play Store application on Windows, which seems to be a natural step, if we consider the company’s job to do it for Chrome OS. How Chrome OS is an operating system designed specifically to run the Chrome browser, make this possible using Chrome on Windows sounds easier than it seemed initially.

The method would allow this would be the Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC), launched about a year ago to allow developers adapt their apps for Chrome OS as simply as possible, with some success. But does not mean that to happen without problems, since, according to Android Central site:

 

So far, Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC) includes a rudimentary version of the Google services (Play Services) that enables Cloud Messaging, Google authentication, a contact provider and support OATH2, since the developer do some extra steps to set things through the Google developer console. For access to Google Play Store to happen, this restriction should be treated. This could mean that a full version of Google services, or must be built into the Chrome browser, or should be built on a bigger and better version of ARC module. Or even these two things could happen, but it would force Google to build it and distribute it to those who really work.

 

Unify Android and Chrome OS turned out to be harder than it seemed at first, but later migrating this process to Windows through ARC occur more easily, so using a sandbox in Chrome called Native called (NaCl). Still, Google would still have to officially announce this kind of support, which has not occurred to date. The biggest problem is to scale the apps for a larger screen, since resolution is not enough to be a problem, but adapt it to scale properly on monitors and screen notebooks.

Microsoft and Google fighting for the same problem but in different ways. Google focuses on the mobile platform, with a limitation for migrating apps to the desktop. Already Microsoft through the UWP (Universal Platform Windows – Windows Universal Platform), has programs in Windows and want to open the way for them to run on mobile platform. One does not work with the other, so we’ll have to wait to see which strategy will prove to be the best in the future:. The UWP (Microsoft) or ARC (Google)

We will have more information on the ARC on Google I / O, which will take place in the middle of May this year, what will be the position of Google in relation to the plans of unification Android-Chrome OS, or even about what will happen between Android and Windows. What do you think? I wish I could run Android app on PC? Tell us in the comments!
