G7: a new Android tablet by Virgin

The shelves - and more particularly those under Android - seem to meet one big hit, at least on the level of the manufacturers and distributors. For this week, Virgin Megastore of the airports of Orly and Roissy have marketed G7, a shelf of Gpad mark under Android 2.1, posting a flagstone of seven inches of the resistive type (18 centimetres of diagonal).

Distributed by Itec in France, this product profits from tempting characteristics: a processor with 800 MHz, a memory flash of 4 extensible Go of 32 Go via a chart microSD, the assumption of responsibility of a large range of audio and video formats (until in 1080p) and an integrated camera of 1,3 mégapixel. Without having the functions of telephony of a Samsung Galaxy, G7, much cheaper, supports the network 3G for Web navigation through a dedicated dongle (sold in option).

Available to the price of 279 euros, Gpad G7 seems however less attractive than Archos 70 Internet Tablet under Froyo which, for less low price, integrates 8 Go of memory as well as a multipoint capacitive screen. A model 10 Gpad inches under Windows 7 is also proposed in the two Virgin stores.

Rincon & Associates Introduces New iPhone App Brings Census Data to Your Fingertips

The Census Bureau produces a wealth of demographic information about our nation’s communities – data that is used by both public and private organizations to monitor our quality of life, set public policy, and guide the introduction of new products and services. Accessing this wealth of information can be a frustrating experience for individuals who are not computer savvy, unfamiliar with demographic or geographic terminology or feel lost when navigating the Census Bureau web site. Even experienced users may lack the time required to retrieve needed information.

Many people depend on demographic information to understand the size and composition of their audiences, including entrepreneurs, journalists, advertisers, public relations experts, researchers, non-profits, health care providers, media buyers, planners, retailers and others. Global organizations that provide products or services to U.S. markets also have a need for such demographic information and may experience more challenges in accessing the data. Both domestic and international users, however, have a need for data that is both current and credible.

Rincon & Associates, a market research firm that specializes in expanding the cultural intelligence of organizations through research and teaching, recognized these challenges in the design of Populus USA. Populus USA is an iPhone app that takes the headaches out of accessing and using Census data. Following are some of the app’s key features:

1. All data is derived from the most credible source of U.S. population data - the U.S. Census Bureau - which conducts the American Community Survey (ACS) every year. The 2008 ACS data is included in the current version of the app, while users will receive annual updates as well.

2. Selected population and income data are provided for the total population and four race-ethnic groups: whites, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics. Users can also select from a number of Top 20 Lists that rank order the largest states, metro areas, counties, and cities for each race-ethnic group.

3. The population and income profiles are available for five geographic levels: U.S., 51 states, 504 metropolitan/micropolitan areas, 802 counties, and 525 cities/places.

4. Users can easily email the data tables in pdf format to other persons for review, while a reference guide clarifies the demographic terminology used.

Populus USA is available at the Apple Store for $4.99. Future plans for Populus USA call for introduction of formats other than Apple and an update with the ACS 2009 data that was recently released. In addition, new products are planned for educators, attorneys, and other occupations.

Microsoft: " Nobody plays anymore first-person shooters on the PC "

In less than two months will be marketed Kinect, the new control system to the Xbox 360 does not control. Microsoft has a long history of promoting its new product, with the top executives to go out often in the media and to support their statements in Kinect. Not missing, however, and excesses .
The Kudo Tsunoda is one of the Microsoft people who contributed to the development of Kinect, so it is perfectly normal to speak with the best words for the new control system . However, his enthusiasm leads him often to excess. A few days after finding that the Kinect will sell much more than the iPad, a Tsunoda invoked a rather extreme argument to refute those who are reluctant to Kinect.

According to Tsunoda, skeptics say Kinect now for something similar to what they said when they get their first first-person shooters on consoles : that "no suit was handled in those games ", the FPS " have been constructed for keyboard and mouse etc. The Tsunoda says that over time the FPS on consoles perfectly matched with games like Halo, to the extent that today " almost no one plays FPS on PC ".

It is true that in recent years have seen very significant FPS on consoles . From this point, however , to be said that PC gaming is dead (at least in terms of the shooters) is a huge distance. A huge number of gamers still prefer mouse and keyboard for FPS. And ultimately , sales of graphics cards show that PC gaming has a respectable market share.
