Microsoft: towards a Touch Cover capable of charging Surface Pro

The Surface Pro starts to show the tip of his nose and some users have begun to examine all angles. This is an anonymous user discovered the presence of strange connectors located on the bottom edge of the tablet, different connectors from those of the RT area. Neither one, nor two, our nosy decided to ask directly to a Microsoft representative. How to see, and very funny thing is that he replied to the message. Yes, he responded by indicating that these new connectors are destined to ... new accessories.

Surface and Surface Pro RT are not unanimous, it is a fact, but they do not lack assets provided. No and among these, there is of course the type and Touch Covers. Accessories that look exactly the same way that Smart Cover, except they boarded a true full physical keyboard and a touchpad true.

And this is still super convenient when you need to send long messages or wishes when fiddling with the traditional desktop in Windows 8. Well aware of this force, Microsoft would therefore go a little further by launching new blankets thoughts better, stronger and extra capabilities. For now, we know absolutely nothing about them but they are apparently able to charge the tablet. How? The question is there, but knowing that the autonomy of the Surface Pro is one of the ugliest faults, we say that Microsoft has indeed interest in putting the package.

In my case, I think it would be very appreciated by the community that is federated around the tablet, it would be a Type Cover with built-in battery, a type that could well recharge Cover quietly Surface Pro and give it and a few more hours of battery life.

Blackbird, the social network for students

Many have forgotten, but Facebook was the basis for a service only to students . Service on which they could express themselves, share their views or even post pictures of the cutest girls in their campus. Today, of course, things have changed. Yes, this is exactly why a group of enthusiasts decided to develop its own social platform, a platform designed solely to facilitate the lives of students by giving them the opportunity to easily share any type of content. His name? Blackbird, and finally the address to know when arrives at a new school.

Blackbird operation is quite simple. In reality, each student will have the opportunity to create a group for their school. Once it has opened, all students attending the place will have the opportunity to share different types of content such as tips, useful info, classifieds and so on. Be careful though because in order to share content in the group, it will obviously show white leg and thus have an email address in-school. In addition, to create a new group, the student will necessarily achieve together 50 people.

And then, how's it going? Well every page, every group, every school in the form of a huge panel on which students will be able to pin up their contributions. Obviously difficult not to think of Pinterest, we agree. The interesting thing, however, is that each content can be categorized. Thus, when open the page of the school, we can easily filter the contributions according to their usefulness, and also in terms of the message delivered. In a few clicks, you can therefore put forward the recruitment offers for student jobs, classifieds shared by peers, tutorials or even information related to accommodation.

To open content, it will just click. From the window that magically appear before your eyes wide open, you can leave a comment or share contribution on Twitter and / or Facebook. Cool. At the top of each page, you will also find several buttons to access his profile to find friends or to access notifications.

Simple, practical, well thought out, it is a service that will appeal to students necessarily. Remains whether just manage to find its audience, of course.

Samsung Galaxy S4: a beautiful 3D rendering

We hear a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S4 right now, but unfortunately we do not know yet what it will look like. Oh sure, we had a few pictures over the last few weeks, but they were not very exciting since they are content to take essentially the same lines as the S4. And this is precisely what prompted this anonymous designer to achieve a 3D rendering totally stunning and should undoubtedly attract many of you. Yes if the Galaxy S4 should really look like that, then I think we would be very likely to fall in adoration before him.

Samsung makes good products, it is a fact, but the firm still leaves too much room for plastic and not enough noble materials. And when we see what are capable of manufacturers like Motorola, Sony or Apple, you can not help thinking that the latter may be based too much on its laurels. Casually, mobile users are increasingly attentive to design their precious Samsung starts to lag seriously behind in this field.

And that therefore emerges this incredible concept that has a Galaxy S4 playing card ... metal. The result is interesting and even 3D rendering if not please everyone necessarily - tastes, colors, huh - I was literally stuck in place. A beautiful metallic dress, the integration of speakers on the front of mobile, a button dedicated to the camera onboard, we can say that it imposes and is typically the kind of device that would see happen in the catalog of Samsung.

Finally, in any case, we should soon be fixed as the Samsung Galaxy S4 could be formally submitted by the manufacturer as soon as next month.

Samsung Galaxy S4 for March 15 launch

At last, the Samsung Galaxy S4 was supposed to be presented March 22 , for an official launch in early April. These dates have obviously not been confirmed by the manufacturer and it seems that he has finally decided to accelerate the movement. Sat Mobile has obtained additional information from one of its sources and from the latter, Galaxy S4 could be presented a little earlier than expected since it would issue an event scheduled for March 15, is in a little over a month. And that, I think it will be of interest to many.

If you are interested in any news dealing with the South Korean firm, then you're probably aware that it should organize a Mobile Unpacked Event next month. And if Android Authority had previously indicated that it could take place in the second half of March, the sources of Sam Mobile think about it that this event could ultimately be held on March 15, so with a little week ahead of the schedule originally planned.

Same effective date for the launch of the smartphone. Basically, it should actually be sold after April 15, but it seems that Samsung has once again decided to take a little ahead of its schedule. Always according to the same rumors, the Galaxy S4 and could reach the market in early April. The best is to come as elsewhere in Europe would be among the first to get their hands on. United States, Australia and Africa, the launch of the Galaxy S4 would intervene and not before May or even June.

As a reminder and in case you have not seen pass the info on Samsung Galaxy S4 should enjoy a full HD 4.99 inches, an 8-core Exynos processor 5, a Mali T658 GPU, of 2 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel sensor, a second sensor 2 megapixel front and Jelly Bean 4.2.1. All this information is obviously to be taken lightly, since Samsung has nothing confirmed at the time of this writing.
