Apple Releasing iOS7 Gold Master on September 5

The beta version of iOS7 succeeds at a frantic pace and the question everyone asks, finally, it is released when the Golden Master. BGR has seriously addressed the issue and the site has taken the initiative to contact his best sources to learn more about the subject. And if we are to believe the latter, then the GM of iOS 7 is scheduled for September 5 to Apple employees and partners. Developers, meanwhile, should be able to benefit from the September 10, just days before the launch of the final public version, a version that will be deployed at the same time as the iPhone and the iPhone 5S 5C.

But before the Golden Master, we should be entitled to a new beta version - the sixth - expected next week, probably Monday or Tuesday. Following this release, it is a GM that will be given to employees and partners of the firm, a GM should be deployed as of September 5.

Five days later, so the September 10, these are all people with an iOS Developer license should be able to get their hands on. An interesting time since AllTingsD believes, however, that the iPhone 5S and 5C iPhone could be unveiled at the same time. And Apple would kill two birds with one stone. However, it should wait a few more days before the final version of iOS 7 is deployed on all terminals of the firm. Interestingly, the deployment of the platform should be done in conjunction with the marketing of two new Smartphones cabbage. There is a good chance that they do not arrive on the market on 25 October, as suggested by the latest gossip dated, but towards the end of September.

It is obviously preferable to remember that all this information should be taken with caution. BGR has often flown in the past but this is not a reason to get excited too fast.

Update: Apple has deployed the sixth beta of iOS 7; it would appear that the organization is a little ahead of schedule BGR. This update would also only one goal; fix the bug that some users encountered with iTunes.

Tablet requires the application developers have obviously made ​​sure to adjust the resolution Mailbox and the size of the iPad screen. So it looks like any client of the same kind with a window divided into two areas: the message list on the left, the content of the messages right. At the top, on the left, we also find a button that allows us to access the different files in our account. In short, nothing new to that side, we finally found the same logic as for ergonomic Mail and all the other tools in the industry.

Anyway, this is a new step has been taken for the couple Dropbox / Mailbox and it will now be able to focus on new ports. Here, also, while we're at it maybe would not hurt to attack Android.

iOS 7: A new concept of "flat design"

Ran Avni is a creative especially popular for some time, which is a creative concept is excellent as this one, which features an iPhone 6. Last week, our guys decided to put the cover in addressing this time iOS 7 and more specifically its interface. An interface that smells "flat design" that will give you a clearer idea of what might look like Iceberg platform should it really take its path. The video is obviously in the sequel, the same for all information about it.

What is interesting with this concept is that Ran is assumed that the "flat design" could only be... a simple option. In other words, our creative, each user will have the option to activate it or not. This is even more fun that Apple is not really known for leaving the choice to its customers, the company has effectively used to impose purely strategic choice, as almost all of the largest firms world.

By activating the option, so it's all iOS 7 that changes a snap interface. Application icons then become more sober, more minimalist, thus focusing on the essentials and turning its back on glare and all the little things now become inseparable from the platform. Same course for proposed by Apple, as the good old calculator tools, or for the lock screen.

To be totally honest with you, this concept is not my favorite, but it's still a good job. After that, the question I ask myself is whether the "flat design" is really suited to iOS. Certainly, it is very fashionable at the moment, a lot of companies have decided to play this card, but Apple does not usually to simply do as others. So, I think that the bitten apple may finally hit where we least expect it.

Finally, it is hoped, in any case, especially if she wants to keep selling smartphones and tablets.

Best, but Apple is waiting out there to introduce the same in several markets.

But the 11.0.3 version of iTunes has at least an improved mini-player, where you finally see where you are in the play and gets a little more control over playback functions and active playlist. In addition, there is a new view for albums on several CDs (yes, there are still). The update comes as usual via software update in the App Store.

The Mobile World Congress 2013 looks busy. Proof is yesterday is that Mozilla has started the ball rolling with a series of announcements on its new mobile platform, namely Firefox OS. Even Firefox OS mentioned, and finally looks like an alternative to all current platforms. But in fact, if you dream to ask the tabs above, then know that you will not necessarily have to wait long as the first dedicated smartphone arrives in Europe this summer, and it will be even Alcatel One Touch Fire for those interested.

Great course, but still know that all countries will not benefit at the same time. In reality, the One Touch Alcatel Fire will first entry into Poland before landing quietly in the other countries of the old continent. Again, everyone will not necessarily be served at the same time and apparently our friends are Spanish and German will be the first opportunity to play with Firefox OS.

So of course, Mozilla has not stopped there and the foundation took the opportunity to highlight the first applications to be ported to Firefox OS.

Simply the ability to watch videos in streaming directly from the tool. The best is to come elsewhere since this feature is available on all versions of Android from Honeycomb. Need not, therefore, have the latest version of the platform to enjoy it.

With the latter, you will actually be able to watch your favorite videos directly from the application without having to transfer them to your device. Ideal to relive the first steps nephew's cousin's neighbor or to admire the last sauerkraut cooked by Auntie Janine. Progress, it is beautiful.

Vine soon on Android

At the beginning of the year, Twitter has caused a stir by unveiling a new application for any mobile user to make small videos before sharing them on the platform. You will understand, it is obviously Vine ! A pretty nice tool, but unfortunately suffers from a major drawback: for the moment, it is only available on iOS. Not terrible, it is okay, but be aware that this will change soon. Yes, because Vine has published a recruitment offer earlier in the week, an offer which allowed us to discover that the company is currently seeking a Chief Engineer with solid experience ... Android.

And be careful, because this time it is not a rumor or even a smoky hallway noise from a source secret, mysterious and close the file. No, as mentioned just above, it's downright Vine who spilled the beans by publishing on its website a recruitment offer which leaves no room for doubt. Really doubt yourself.

It is written in black and white, Vine is looking for an engineer who will be responsible for the development of the first version of Android on Vine . An engineer who will work closely with the rest of the team and will increasingly have at least three years of experience in the industry and a good knowledge of the Android ecosystem and community. Also note that the case "android" appears seven times in the ad, just in case it would have passed.

So Vine will land on Android, and it is obviously a good thing. After the whole question is how long the application will be available. And then, much to warn you, it will probably show you very patient, especially as the project certainly has not started yet.

DashClock: integrating notifications from any application

DashClock is a great little surprise last week . For those who are missed, it is actually a simple widget that can be integrated either on the Home screen of a device running Android, or directly on the lock screen. The whole point of the thing is that this little tool can display the real-time notifications from some applications. And indeed, the Android community has been so seduced by the idea that she decided to enrich DashClock. Yes and know precisely a developer had the very good idea to create another application AnyDash , which will simply allow you to integrate notifications from any application!

But be careful because AnyDash is only in its infancy and the tool is currently under development. It works, of course, but it is perfectly feasible that some applications are not yet supported. However, if one believes one of the comments on the present form of the application, then it would seem that the developer is very responsive to the community and it deploys and frequently updated to incorporate new notifications.

And this is still a really good thing. Do not have Android device in hand, I have not had the opportunity to test AnyDash but it appears that the operation of the application is fairly simple. Once the extension is installed in DashClock, it will display all the notifications from the applications added to the list. So you can get the tool of your choice and even set the icon that will accompany the notification.

Tablets for Ubuntu: Ubuntu on your touchpad ...!

Canonical made ​​a surprise yesterday by setting up a strange counter on the website, a counter announcing the arrival of a product in connection with touch pads. Many people have obviously thought the South African company would unveil a new slate top revolutionary, but it was finally decided to do a lot better by launching a special version of its famous distribution , a completely new version designed for our kind mobile terminals. His name? Tablets for Ubuntu, obviously. And there are better since they are more images that will soon be available, images that work with the Nexus Nexus 7 and 10.

On the question of the interface, this is no great surprise that we discover an environment very similar to other versions of Ubuntu Mobile. Same colors, similar ergonomics, Ubuntu for Tablets fits completely in the ecosystem created by Canonical and this is a good thing, especially for fans of the distribution. And yes, there are a few.

In terms of functionality, it has a lot of things, obviously. Starting with a complete multitasking that allows you to quickly switch from one application to another. The interesting thing is that Canonical was a little further by proposing a system similar to that found in Note 10.1 and, more recently on Note 2: it will be possible to display side by side two applications, two windows. The other thing nice is the management of multiple accounts. With this feature every beast, the tablet can be used by the whole family and even find a guest account for visitors.

To quickly launch favorite applications, we can also see a dock side, stowed away to the left of the screen. Dock will be hidden by default but you can bring up a single gesture.

And so, this special variant of Ubuntu also includes evil evil other features to share content quickly on social networks that you frequent or even take control of his voice terminal. And if we add to this the integration of an application store, it is said that Ubuntu for Tablets is likely to attract many users.

History finale, it may also indicate that Ubuntu for Tablets has been designed to run on tablets ranging from 6 to 20 inches. As for the images to Nexus, know they are available on the website of Canonical a few times and we'll talk when they are obviously arrived.

iOS: a new concept for multitasking

iOS is a good mobile platform, it is a fact, but it is not perfect, however, and among the reproaches can send him there obviously its aging interface. An interface that has unfortunately not changed significantly in recent years. Every major update is expected at a real revolution and it never seems to happen. iOS 7 will perhaps some adjustments, but nothing says that this will indeed be the case. In the meantime, in any case, many creative trying to imagine what could become the mobile platform from Apple and that is precisely the case who made ​​a very interesting concept on multitasking. The video is obviously in the future.

Since multitasking is it always behaves in the same way. Is pressed twice on the button "home" , a horizontal bar appears at the bottom of the screen, it performs some scans side to access open applications or to get their hands on the controls of iTunes and you're done . The trick, of course, is that the button "home" is not necessarily the strongest part of an iDevice - if you have problems you should know that there are ways to fix itself - and would be very wise for Apple designers are addressing the issue for future versions of the platform.

And if they are lacking inspiration, they could easily go look towards the concept of s3ntry93 seen there is no shortage of interest. To bring up the multitasking bar on this concept, it suffices to support the bottom and in the middle of the screen. There is a vertical bar that has split the screen active, as Moses face to the Red Sea. The user will then have to place the finger on the application of their choice or to make small scans to access some common options like WiFi, Bluetooth and so on.

The result is not bad. After that, we can of course ask whether this concept is very an ergonomic point of view, but that is another debate.

A tool called DashClock and that will allow you to turn the lock screen of your mobile in a real small town of notifications very visual and very pretty to look at.

For a few words, DashClock is a widget that will be positioned on the lock screen of your magnificent smartphone, instead of widget used for display time. The great advantage of this tool is that it does not just give you time because you will add some notifications particularly useful.

Not bad, for sure, but the best is yet to come because Roman has opted for opening the most complete, which means that developers around the world can get their hands on the source code of the tool to add plugins or even develop new features. It suffices to go for a ride on the Play Store to see that there are already plugins designed and developed to work with DashClock.

And it is still very nice. Be careful though because it is necessary to have Jelly Bean 4.2 to enjoy
