Rovio, the Finnish publisher of the series Angry Birds became world famous, is now trying to go beyond this first success for not staying with his birds. Amazing Alex output (0.79 €), a purchased game to another developer was not as successful as expected, but Rovio board for a year on a new game will take over and do as well as its predecessor.       
Bad Piggies released on September 27 and as its name suggests, this game takes place in the clan pigs. They were enemies in Angry Birds, here they become heroes and they should be much more friendly and engaging.

Welcome Home: Nokia helps move to Windows Phone

Welcome Home to Windows Phone, Mark / Space implements a Microsoft patent: This application supports iPhone users, Android or BlackBerry to Windows Phone.

First, it enables to create a full backup of your existing phone. Contacts and calendars are transferred to your Windows Live account, with the exception of data iCloud, which are not supported. Photos, videos and music are saved in iPhoto and iTunes (on OS X). We can then use the Windows Phone Connector to retrieve them.

The apps are not transferable from one system to another? Big deal! Welcome Home uses the services of search engine applications Quixey to offer the equivalent of your Windows Phone applications iOS, Android or BlackBerry. With a few exceptions, which reveal more delay than Windows Marketplace weaknesses of the application, the suggestions are rather convincing. It is however not present on your iPhone apps that are detected, but those stored in your iTunes library.

It was sponsored by Nokia, and as such is free: it is a tool to promote the Lumia range. Mark / Space has long been a similar tool to move to Android, sold $ 9.95 (€ 7.95).

The iPhone 5 video


You are still wondering what exactly look like the successor to the iPhone 4S. Here are two videos that should give you an idea if you still have difficulty to visualize the new Apple device.

The first video shows it seems a real iPhone 5. We would like to believe gsmisraelnews, but coincidentally, the presenter deflates and refuses to turn on. This is definitely a fake developed by a manufacturer to test his cases, but it still gives a good idea of the object.



      Note that this type of model is now in shambles in China, as shown by MIC Gadget, which publishes many photos and talk about prices starting at $ 5. For its part, MacRumors posted a video this time focusing on the screen successor 4S. A 4 "screen, it changes what?       

Rather than go watch any smartphone with a screen of this size, the site has been rumored to make a video that shows the benefits of a 4-inch screen. Remains to know what to think ... our pockets because it has not only advantages! And you think a 4 "screen, is it really a good idea?

Concept: a real typewriter for iPad


The youngest will perhaps not a mechanical typewriter prints the letters on the paper by pressing a lever strikes the paper and an ink ribbon.

A designer had the crazy idea to take this principle of mechanical lever to apply to the iPad: the concept is iTypewriter born. The principle is the same: pressing a button, a lever is operated just make a tap on the screen of the tablet.

The idea is fun, but the concept is really not very practical keyboard of this strange machine is stuck on a configuration and it is not even the QWERTY. Typing is very slow as shown in this video, but who cares, the pleasures of nostalgia has no price...
