Windows computers on which to run Android - Computerworld

If anyone thinks that AMD in place of Windows wants to install the Android system, it is wrong. AMD also plans to provide users with PCs that support dual-boot option. He wanted to offer users an executable file (designed in collaboration with BlueStacks) that, when run on a Windows machine turns it into a device operating on Android.

Android developed by BlueStacks provides the user access to individual components of the computer (such as camera, accelerometer or gyroscope) and the files created by Windows. We can say that we are dealing with a virtual Android created within the Windows software. Both of these systems see each other, they can communicate with each other and exchange their resources.

AMD announces that the first computers dual-OS (Android / Windows) software installed BlueStacks will go on sale in the second half of the year. For us it is important that they come on the first two European markets – in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. They will be desktops, laptops and tablets containing integrated circuits manufactured by AMD.

Working under the supervision of BlueStacks software, the computer can download Android Apps from any source and run it in full screen mode or in a window, which is managed by Windows.

3M Touch Ideum announce table with Google Android - PCLab.pl

3M and Ideum two companies which together have decided to develop a new product, so the table with a large touch screen, working under the control of the operating system Google Android. Already in 2007, Microsoft unveiled for the first time this type of project, called Surface. Nearly seven years ago this device was treated as a mere curiosity, as each realized that the version of the market it would be hellishly expensive.

Ultimately, the project

Microsoft Surface PixelSense started hitting, among others to hotels, expensive apartments, medical centers. Never device that was not addressed to individual customers. First of all because of the price. Perhaps another product of this type, which is a result of cooperation between 3M and Ideum, will have a chance to break through to private houses and apartments, although in this case would be the possessions of people with deep wallets. 3D and Ideum had previously designed the small tables with touch screens, working under the operating system Windows 8, but now their portfolio joins the project with Android.

Currently, both companies offer two models of the table with Windows 8 – Platform 32 and Platform 46 In both cases, using quad-core Intel Core i7 3.7 GHz frequency, screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, as well as Blu-ray Combo. The model captures the platform 32 to the screen 40 touch points simultaneously, while in the case of the model 46 is 60 points recognized. We know that Platform 46 is also equipped with a hard disk of 500 GB, 16 GB of RAM, while the less we drive 250-gigabyte and 8 GB of RAM.

3M and Ideum are planning to introduce to offer next table, Platform 46, operating under Google’s Android “Jelly Bean” 4.1. It’s a bit strange choice, because probably everyone would expect the use of longer version of “KitKat” 4.4. Perhaps in the future there will be an appropriate update. For now, the project developers say nothing about any changes in the operating system or copyright applications that would fully utilize the ability to recognize up to 40 or 60 points touch. It is worth noting that the table is of course waterproof.

We do not know exactly how much you will have to pay for a new table with Android. The cheapest version of the table Platform 32 with Windows 8 is priced at 5050 euros, so the 46-inch version of Android will probably be even more expensive. We already know that soon it will be possible to install another operating system and platform selection during startup. As a curiosity, let us add that in the course of the purchase of Platform 32 or 46 with Windows 8, you can choose to change to Windows 7

Until recently, the choice of tablet running Android or Windows came down mainly to their wallets – the former were usually cheaper. Today, the situation is slowly changing and the market are starting to appear models with Intel Atom and the “full” version of Windows 8.1 (designed for x86 processors), the prices of which are not so different from the prices of Android rivals. Faced with the choice of the tablet, you have to consider not only such basic features as: the quality of the display, built-in memory capacity, duration of action, but also the operating system installed. Today we will discuss this last issue.

is easy to see that now almost anyone can create their own tablet (though not everyone should). Every moment of the depths of nothingness market emerge previously unknown brand, and there have been reports that the tablets take a company known for something completely different phones and smartphones. For the latter group is undoubtedly iriver – known manufacturer of portable music player. What stands out for its tablet, ITQ701, against the background of the sea “Chinese”? Mainly the fact that it is not another cheap equipment Rockchip processor, and only … another with Tegra 3

Battlefield 4 is important not only because it is one of the most popular online FPS type games. It is important first of all by the fact that it uses modern engine Frostbite 3, which surprisingly does well with support for multi-core processors and new graphics cards extensions such as DirectX 11.2. That’s why today’s test cards and processors is an important indication for those who intend to buy in the near future new equipment for the upcoming games. After a long wait and the battles in the trial version of the beta, players from many countries of today can play in the final, complete edition.

  • Samsung Galaxy Mega
  • Samsung Galaxy Light
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

Now, thanks to an entry on the blog Robert Nawrowskiego, met Schedule smartphones and tablets available in the international market, which will also receive the appropriate update. Here it is:

The smartphone has already received some time ago to upgrade to version 4.3 Jelly Bean and despite the fact that since its release it had been a long time, recent reports have suggested that users, however, live to see the “KitKat”. According to the official information obtained by Robert Nawrowskiego from Samsung, the cause is too “small amount of RAM”, which is the argument of not having any basis, since the Galaxy Grand also has enough memory, and the list has not been deleted. What’s more, the operating system “KitKat” was yet optimized for even with 512 MB … The blogger added at the end that this message applies only to the 1-gigabyte, so if you are the model of the Samsung Galaxy S III with 2 GB of memory, it is very possible that you will be able to download in the relatively near future upgrade to Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

In turn, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5, which will be officially announced next week at MWC 2014 will be immediately installed the latest “KitKat”.

Independent lab AV-Test proved 30 mobile ... - PCLab.pl

independent testing laboratory AV-Test specializing in testing security software, conducted a test lasting four weeks 30 mobile protective programs intended to present the most popular Android platform. Which programs are worth attention, and which disappointed?

While on almost all the January test, the experts at AV-Test tested the effectiveness of the programs in the detection of malicious code attacking smartphones and tablets operating under the control of Google’s mobile system, and more specifically Android version 4.3. In addition, subject to assessment testing application functionality, ease of configuration settings and their flexibility, impact test tools on the performance of the protected device and the number of generated false alarms in cases where harmless code was blocked as malicious.

Of 30 only two applications have not received AV-Test certificate. These were: SPAMfighter PRO VIRUSfighter Android and Zoner Mobile Security.

VIRUSfighter Android PRO (its interface visible in these shots) killed primarily for testing the efficiency of detection of malicious code. Among the reference sample more than 2,000 malicious codes, the program detected only 36.1%, which is the result of completely disqualifying. Faced with such disastrous program effectiveness has not helped that his action does not affect the operation time (does not involve additional battery) and performance smartphone / tablet. Also, lack of false alarms is fatal to the effectiveness of a poor consolation. Average efficiency test tools was 96%.

src=”http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/markowal/newsy/zoner-mobile-security.jpg”

Another program that has not earned a certificate AV-Test was Zoner tool called Mobile Security (measuring 1.1 version of the program). In this case, the efficiency of detection of malicious code was admittedly a little higher than its predecessor – because “up” 67.5% – but still, this result is hardly even fair. As a result, experts AV-Test to test the effectiveness of the application awarded the lowest possible note.

Since we know that conservation programs available in the store Google Play does not deserve – according to analysts AV-Test – for consumer attention, how is the situation among the best

The highest score achieved

programs: Avira Free Android Security 3.0, BitDefender Mobile Security 2.6, G Data Internet Security 25, Kingsoft Mobile Security 3.3, KSMobile Clean Master 4.0, KSMobile CM Security 1.0, McAfee Mobile Security 3.1, Qihoo 360 Mobile Security 1.5 Trend Micro Mobile Security 3.5 and TrustGo Mobile Security 1.3. All of these programs detected 100% of the samples of malicious code, and none has generated a false alarm during testing. Test on the test security applications for the detection of false positives was implemented using both applications from the official Google Play store and other shops offering software for the Android platform.

Among the most effective programs

three applications apps stand out further than the average functionality:

Trend Micro Mobile Security in addition to high efficiency also offers additional tools such as remote management (the ability to remote lock, clear the memory and location of the device in case of theft smartphone), function block unwanted calls (anti-stalking), message filter, phishing mechanism that protects User while using the mobile browser, and even parental control.

The other two applications are McAfee Mobile Security and G Data Internet Security. In both cases, the tools offer additional features like in the case of applications Trend Micro, with the exception of parental control, which in the case of McAfee and G Data has been replaced by a backup of user data to the cloud, or on a memory card.

All Readers interested in the detailed methodology of tests conducted by AV-Test, please refer to the documentation published by the authors of the test.
