Sony develops its own version of a GoPro

A camera tha films your point of view while you're doing a sport, is being developped after the announcement of Sony. The GoPro cameras that are most used in this area should come and see a new competitor.

Particularly suitable for sports, this camera records your perspective. It is positioned logically on the head, helmet, handlebar ...

This camera will feature SteadyShot stabilization and an Exmor R CMOS optical sensor. A sensor according to Sony, offers great viewing angles and good performance in low light conditions. The video capturing is performed with Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). Sony describes this future camera as easy to use, very compact and lightweight.

Without giving any indication of price or product name, Sony plans to roll out this camera for fall 2012.

Google Nexus Q, the other Google bet

By its design, the Nexus Q makes you immediately think of the Apple TV. This little black ball with a diameter of 11.6 cm and weighs 923 grams and has connector almost identical to those of the Apple TV: HDMI, USB, optical digital audio output and Ethernet. Google complements very judiciously by the analogue plugs. The Nexus Q is capable of powering passive speakers. It has an amplification of 25 watts. The integration of power supply within the unit is also part of the concept of Google.

Wireless side, the Nexus Q operates using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. Google product by definition, it operates the home mobile OS: Android 4.0 with 16 GB of storage, its 1 GB of RAM and ARM Cortex-A9 (a OMAP4460).

The design of the Nexus Q is awesome : matte black material, translucent ring backlit by LEDs. In action, the effect is compelling while remaining discreet.

Nexus Q: What is it?


Google introduced the Nexus Q as a case of streaming audio and video ... But if Apple TV is inseparable from the iTunes écostystème, the Q is bound with Google play. It gives access to Google Play Music, Google TV Movies and Play as well as YouTube, but nothing else. It is little, especially for a product sold at  300 $/ € (€ 100 for Apple TV). Especially since these services are not yet available in all countries. No Google Play Music in France for example.

The Q, how does it work ...


Google does not deliver remote control with the Nexus Q. It has been designed to work in conjunction with a smartphone or tablet running Android (like the Nexus 7). The Nexus Q provides the bridge between the content of Google Play, Music and TV or YouTube into a screen or sound system. Tablets and smartphones provide access and manage playlists, audio and video.

The upper hemisphere of the Nexus Q rotates and serves as a volume knob. Touching the sensitive surface will switch it to silent mode. Google also offers accessories: cable bananas, pairs of speakers (the Triad Bookself $ 400).

Many small ideas very useful, but do not offset the very small universe of Nexus Q. Why not push the horizons a little: access to Android applications, web browsing ... The Nexus Q would become perhaps too close to the concept of Google TV. We should certainly avoid offending its partners (Sony), while the products are not yet on the market.
