Archos GamePad 2 : la console de jeux dévoilée à la FCC

Par Jason Champagne le 13 août 2013

On apprend qu’Archos pourrait présenter prochainement sa console de jeux Archos GamePad 2 qui semble avoir validé les tests à la FCC.

En résumé, la FCC est l’équivalent de l’ARCEP en France. C’est une commission fédérale des communications qui s’assure de la régulation des télécommunications afin d’obtenir des certifications FCC et que l’appareil a été testé conformément aux exigences réglementaires des organismes correspondants.

La console de jeux Archos GamePad 2 a été vue au FFC !

Durant le début de cette année, l’Archos GamePad premier du nom n’aura pas connu de succès signifiant, pour une tablette qui présentait des négligences en terme de qualité d’affichage, de performances et d’autonomie.

Pour le modèle GamePad 2, on retrouve bel et bien une ressemblance quasi-parfaite avec le premier modèle, excepté un bouton latéral sur la partie supérieure.

Du côté des caractéristiques, nous savons simplement que la console sera dotée du Bluetooth, ce que la précédente ne disposait pas, ainsi que de la technologie Wi-Fi.

La console de jeux sous Android sera donc certainement annoncée prochainement, ou nous verrons arriver sur la Toile de nouvelles images et/ou confirmations sur les spécifications de la bête car c’est bien ce qu’il nous manque actuellement pour juger de la qualité et de la puissance de la machine.

Pour le moment, beaucoup espèrent que la console Archos soit présentée lors de l’IFA 2013 qui se tiendra très prochainement à Berlin, et qui devrait d’ailleurs présenter bien d’autres surprises dignes de ce nom sur l’actualité Android.

D’autant que la marque est sur la bonne voie avec des résultats positifs et la venue prochaine d’une large gamme de produits, avec pas moins de 7 téléphones et 5 tablettes classés dans le haut de gamme.

Alors, êtes-vous pressé d’en découvrir davantage sur la console de jeux Archos et les projets en cours ? Avez-vous déjà acheté un appareil de la marque auparavant ?

Console Android pinky, delayed, if not released early June

Benjamin André 11 may 2013

Console Android pinky will be delayed and not out coming in early June as planned, but eventually end of June. A first delay.

The announcement was published Thursday by the Director of the company, which launches the Pinky, Julie Uhrman. It a delay due to the "future success" of the console, which so well would be for sale, that the manufacturer produce and supply more models to wants to sell, avoiding bottlenecks as any console output, except perhaps for the Wii U. was known

Joking aside, interest seems much more important than expectedand the company said easily exceeded. Production is at maximum speed and voluntary funds were already largely to raise the more than 8.5 million dollars (for 63416 donors) for the project participants get their consoles at home.

Pinky, the Android console is delayed until end of June

Since the announced cause of the delay not a problem of production or is, it should in theory not other delays, but one wonders if this is real or if an underlying problem a very special event are specially designed for smartphones for consoles, Lager-Outs. The delayed Android pinky console have another concern?

Appears this Android console on October 25, but the delayed Pinky really makes it 3 weeks a great success? American traders seem to believe and also investors, as company financial support of $ 15 million Mayfield fun, NVIDIA Corporation, Shasta ventures, and Occam has received from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, partner. A success story that will allow should, play the potential of the console with the editors, and develop marketing and advertising company.

Hope that the company will be able to keep these parts and not to disperse.

The Pinky console in 1000 pieces: It will be very easy to repair!

By Gabriel Manceau may 8, 2013

Repair of the Pinky should be a breeze ! The long-awaited Android games console passed into the hands of the famous iFixit laboratory that once fully boned the beast to reveal the inner workings and to determine whether it is easy to repair the console problems.

The device would have built with ease and without any problems. Easy disassembly and repair, which earned the Ouya note 9 of 10 from the website! The ability to discover embedded the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and 1 GB RAM. Detail is important, had to leave more to the TV shoot a little cable with five measure developer of console Lester metal to make stable the whole and not the console fall. Everything seems to make, a facelift has undergone a success, including the joystick, since the first designed by the developer.

The Pinky easy to repair

Repair of the pinky is perhaps easy, but it is in the hands only of a few lucky ones. People who have already promoted the product, receive it and others have to wait a little to acquire the precious metals, which should earn money for $99. For this price, you will claim on the console and a joystick. The additional controller costs $50.

The iFixit team has removed also the lever, which is equipped with a Cortex-M3 processor. This time, it is slightly less good, as far as simply the hull on the printed circuit board and easy games to replace controller is soldered, if a wall to break, if you lose a game (it can happen). Easily repair of the pinky is an argument more eagerly awaited console. Will it be after its release?

Ouya details their shipping schedule for early backers of the console project

Ouya founder and CEO Julie Uhrman has sent out a message to the Kickstarter backers of the Ouya console that gives a peek at their projected shipping schedule. We see a sharp uptick today, and another near the end of the month when "larger-scale" weekly shipments are expected.

She also mentions that they have made a tweaks to the process that could shave days off the shipping time. We imagine building, sorting, and shipping out consoles to all the backers is not an easy job. Things can (and often do) go wrong, throwing off projections. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and backers have their unit in hand soon.
