Fully developed by Arco68, a version of CyanogenMod is slowly enthusiasm to surface on the Samsung GT-i9001 (aka Galaxy S Plus). More clearly, it is based on Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) without the TouchWiz interface (well over) and is currently in its second alpha phase.

Scopad SP0712 – And so the subject appears on everyone’s lips: should we adopt a tactile medium for education? To what extent and for what purposes? We mentioned this morning, our new President has been working in this direction in his department of Correze in choosing the first version of iPad for 2500 students. But Apple’s tablet is not the only possible solution and considered. And it is in this sense that Thailand has decided to act by unveiling the largest body of Touch Panel education ever undertaken.

The tablet is called the chosen Scopad SP0712 by Shenzhen Scope. It is a slate featuring a TFT capacitive multitouch LCD 7 inch, 1024 x 600 resolution. It is powered by a Rockchip processor single core 1.2 GHz clocké – ARM Cortex-A8 – offers 1 GB of RAM and runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Connectivity is complete with WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. Connectivity is not left since a USB Host port is in the game. 8 GB of internal storage is allocated and it is possible to extend it via the microSD port of the device. We are thus faced with a tablet of good quality Chinese that will meet all the needs of elementary school use.

Now that is done around the house, back to the Thai government’s decision. A first order of 2000 tablets Scopad test will be honored by the manufacturer, followed by a mass distribution of 400,000 units across the country. This results from a campaign promise Pheu Thai party which has since come to power. It aimed to equip all high school students in bars and then, for industrial reasons, only children between 6 and 7 years were concerned. For some time, an informal contract couverait the hands of the government that would allow the delivery of 530,000 additional Scopad SP0712 – the agreement would therefore be $ 75.7 million – and would thus equipping all elementary students.

The Scopad SP0712 cost is $ 81 for the Thai authorities. Happy enough to make Mr. Liu Jun, chairman of Shenzhen Scope, which stated:

    “Thailand is the first country for which we provide a number of slates for students. Now we are in discussions with other governments such as Pakistan, Brazil and South Africa, to provide this kind of tablets. “

If Shenzhen Scope has set up new production lines to meet this potential demand, this has not prevented the Thai project to take long overdue. The deadline for delivery has experienced numerous delays, so schools across the country could not be delivered on time to start this school year. To counter this problem, the local government has made every effort to find new partners and has signed an agreement with the Chinese government, which told him a few names of companies ready to enter the bidding process. It was therefore not surprising to see included the names Huawei and Lenovo in quinté winner, alongside a Thai company – whose bid was ultimately rejected.

This large-scale experiment, very expensive, should allow us to draw many learning: intentions are good and are a particular level of education. I do not know if the first degree should be the main target of this kind of project. High school students can, in my opinion, benefit more from this material touch the face of more complex issues – I do not say that primary education is simpler. Then, it is complicated to entrust such an ambitious project to a company that has not been proven or, more simply, is not able to exactly meet the expectations of the authorities.

The Local Initiatives and International popping up everywhere on the globe, as the operation OLPC XO tablet that offers its 3.0 dual boot honeycomb-Sugar Linux to emerging or Studybook Intel for American schools. The Next Web also recalls that the largest custom iPad for a educational need was made in San Diego, where 25,000 Apple tablets were delivered to students. Scopad SP0712

Kindle Fire – When you sell hardware at a loss, what you have left to enter your expenses? If your name is Amazon, of course, the services, whether the supply of books, that of music, movies or applications, but if you want more money. Sell ​​a Premium subscription that will serve both to deliver packages for virtual benefits! What, More? Oh, well in that case, you will have to fall back on advertising.

Amazon had already tried the thing on its Kindle Touch by selling the U.S. version at a discount of 25 dollars, instead of wallpapers – all the time that are displayed when the Kindle is not used – were paraded the message of the advertisers. For 25 dollars less, you pay a price advertising eternal, but at least you had a small discount. In the case of Kindle Fire, it seems a bad beginning for the rebate since the sale of this new advertisement concerns all existing tablets.

For $ 600 000, an advertiser can display their advertising on the front page, that is to say, a place seen by millions of users – at least five – at least once a week, if not a times a day. For Amazon and the advertiser, so it’s all benef for by the customer against this is so funny: it will end up with the advertising service it has already paid a high price. That said, if you are interested in a possible Nexus Tab, you should start to the idea: it would be surprising if Google is deprived of an opportunity to run full blast its own service. Kindle Fire
