A défaut de sortir des nouveaux téléphones, Apple poursuit Samsung à nouveau, en cause le Galaxy S3...

C'est quoi le problème cette fois, il ressemble trop au modèle qu'ils auraient aimé sortir en 2013?

Tout frais de Google I/O, Google Nexus Q:





Le prix parait barge, 299$ ... Ca fait cher en comparaison avec Apple TV.

Asus Nexus 7: plutôt sexy pour 199$ !

Je ne sais pas comment Jelly Bean/4.1 fait pour fournir autant d'info contextuelle sur des questions générales sans connection internet.

Le tarif est super agressif effectivement...

Les sites produits: Nexus 7 - Nexus Q

Il y a bien un ampli classe D 2x25W pour permettre la connexion directe de deux hauts parleurs passifs, mais je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi ça justifie le prix face à Apple ou Roku.

Ca doit être le prix de l'ambilight Philips incluse dedans...

Pour l'instant, n'ai pas encore compris non plus...

Quelques commentaires intéressants lus sur Engadget (pot pourri de différents éditeurs):

That aside, the Nexus 7 just feels like a rehashed Kindle Fire. A powerful one, yes, but it really doesn't strike me as the device that'll change the tablet game. Had ASUS somehow managed to hit the $99 price point (even subsidized with ads), then I'd be singing a different tune. I'm also distraught by how ecosystems truly are taking over, and sadly, diverging from one another. I feel like I'm being forced to get with the Google+ program or else miss out on loads of amazing Google content. And until Facebook allows me to port over years of memories, I'm not going anywhere. I'm stuck.

I couldn't be happier about Jelly Bean (Android 4.1). The features shown on stage are truly terrific, and the offline voice dictation and more useful voice searching both one-upped Siri in my mind. Part of me wishes the brains behind this stuff and Siri would just come together to create one all-encompassing ball of awesomeness, but I'm betting the SEC wouldn't take too kindly to that idea. Or most sane people, actually.

OK, so now Microsoft's scramble to announce Surface last week seems a bit more justified. But, just a bit. Those Windows 8 tablets have little in common with Google's budget offering, but I suppose the fact that the Nexus 7 too offers a touchscreen, web access and video playback makes it a threat to MS. But will Surface have an impact on Nexus? That's a bit less likely -- unless the software giant plans to steal Goog's thunder with a sub-$200 price tag of its own (which, based on the hardware we saw last Monday, would drop the company's margins far into the red). Both companies are targeting entirely different segments, with Surface aiming for price-elastic businesses and professionals, and Nexus 7 destined for the sensitive consumer market -- the folks who would otherwise be picking up a Kindle Fire.

It's that slate's fate that's a bit more questionable. A $199 7-inch tablet from a household name is what gave the Fire mass appeal, despite its locked-down OS and hefty build. Now, Google is stepping in with an arguably stronger offering in the Nexus 7, with a 1280 x 800 IPS display, quad-core Tegra 3 chipset and, perhaps the biggest feature of all, Android 4.1. That's not to mention the NFC functionality, accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer and gyroscope that combine to deliver an experience that goes far beyond content consumption. For reading books and watching flicks, the Fire's still got it, but if you're looking to do all that and more -- for the exact same price, mind you -- that aging tablet is about to be extinguished. I'm a Kindle Fire owner myself, and while I don't plan to unload that seven incher on Craigslist, my Nexus 7 order is signed and sealed -- and I'll be counting the days until it's delivered.

Android 4.1 looks delicious, with offline voice input, dynamic new search functions and a slick retooled notifications system. Google is streamlining and enhancing its OS in all the right ways, and I imagine Android's notorious "learning curve" is leveling out in the process. As nice as Jelly Bean looks, though, I know it'll be ages before it makes its way to my Galaxy Note. Sure, there are far more Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Xoom owners out there, but one of the OS' strengths is its presence on such a wide variety of devices. Unless Google's going to commandeer both the hardware and software sides of its Android ecosystem, it needs to work with carriers, hardware manufacturers and developers to roll out its latest software to many more handsets -- and stat.

And lastly, the Nexus Q. Even though it's marketed as a more capable and hackable streamer than the Apple TV, its $299 price tag will be a big obstacle for most people. But then again, this futuristic-looking device isn't made for "most people." Buddying up with the renowned Triad Speakers (I know these guys, and they mean business when it comes to audio), Google clearly wants the Nexus Q to be seen as a high-end smart entertainment hub; and by taking advantage of users with a higher budget, the company will slowly turn Android into a cool party machine. Seriously, the more I look at the introduction video clips, the more I want to try it with a bunch of friends. That said, I still hope the Q will get subsidized in the near future, which would obviously require the multimedia part of Google Play to do very well. So start spending, folks!

C'est peut-être dû à sont coût, il semble qu'il est complètement fabriqué aux USA, assemblé dans la Silicon Valley, avec les composants principaux provenant aussi des USA. Apple TV à $99 est un prix très compétitif, qui leverage un maximum les composants de l'iPhone et l'iPad, Google, même avec Motorola n'a pas de volume approchant ceux d'Apple.

Ca à l'air d'être de belle facture... et ça donne envie de craquer malgré le prix !

[alainp]

Dommage que pour Nexus...

[Huntox]

Une ROM va sûrement pas tarder pour les autres

Je viens de déballer "mon" Nexus 7, il est plutôt épais pour sa taille, mais la prise en main est irréprochable. Mise en route très simple, ça marche correctement. Le "scroll" n'est pas aussi doux que celui d'un iPhone ou iPad par moment c'est saccadé. Par contre il n'y a manifestement pas de mode paysage ! une vidéo Youtube pleine écran devient un petit rectangle horizontal, à peine plus grand que l'écran de l'iPhone ! Faudra voir si l'iPad Mini (si il vient) va être aussi bon marché, mais je ne doute pas qu'il n'aura pas de mal à faire mieux pour cela.

Si tu veux un mode paysage, installes nova launcher ouapex launcher.

C est dommage que ca soit une 7pouces vivement une 10pouces.
Tu te l es procurer ou et a quel prix ? Sans vouloir etre trop indiscret.

Par contre il n'y a manifestement pas de mode paysage !

Bizarre car je n'ai encore jamais vu un appareil Android n'ayant pas le mode paysage. Est-ce que l'orientation de l'écran ne serait pas bloquée ? voir dans les paramètres d'affichage.
