iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will release in Quarter 4, iPad 2 continues producing

According to KGI Securities analyst Mingchi Kuo, iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will probably release in the fourth quarter of this year, which is different from the news that these products will release on Sep. 10.

"Since iPad mini 2 will feature better resolution with retina display, we think its [processor] will have the same grade as iPad 5 – the A7X," Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a research note, MacRumors reports. "But we now believe that iPad mini 2 may be pulled in for launching in late 2013."

Several days later, we will see new iPhone and this is the most exciting news. 

Sony announces Xperia Z1, with 5 inch 1080p screen and 20.7 megapixels

Recently, many corporations announce their new products. Apple, Samsung and Sony unveil their smartphones one after another.

Sony announces its new smartphone and camera lenses.

Like the Xperia Z, the Z1 is completely waterproof. You can submerge it in water to a depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. If you've destroyed a phone by dropping it in the toilet -- or by making calls in the rain -- the Z1 might be the phone for you. It keeps water out by sealing its ports with smaller flaps. While the Xperia Z placed a flap over the headphone jack, the Z1 has simply made the jack itself waterproof, meaning you don't need to undo it every time you want to plug your headphones in.

Probably the most exciting update to the Z1 is the camera, which now boasts a whopping 20.7 megapixels. That's a significant jump from the 13 megapixels of its predecessor, but Sony says that there's more than just a megapixel bump going on.

The sensor size, at 1/2.3-inch, is bigger than what you'd find on your normal smartphone and is similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom's (1/2.33-inch). In comparison, the iPhone 5 uses a small 1/3.2-inch sensor, and the HTC One's UltraPixel sensor is slightly larger at 1/3-inch. The Nokia Lumia 1020 has the biggest sensor at 1/1.5-inch for smartphones running a modern OS.

Samsung unveiled latest products in Berlin on 4 Sep

Yesterday afternoon, Samsung officially unveiled its new products. They are highly anticipated Galaxy Gear, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

Samsung says the Gear can act as an extension to a smartphone by discreetly alerting users to incoming messages and calls on its display screen, which measures 1.63 inches diagonally.

Now I will introduce them one by one. First, it’s the new Galaxy Gear.

Galaxy Gear

People are all focus on the smartphone of Samsung because it is the first time that Samsung develop a smartphone. Several days ago, some pictures of this mysterious smartphone leaked and there are few differences between leaked photos and new devices.

The Galaxy Gear, which has a 1.6-inch screen and weighs 2.6 ounces, looks relatively similar to other smartwatches on the market. But it does have some unique features, such as a 1.9 megapixel camera embedded in the strap and a built-in speaker that allows users to conduct hands-free calls.

Users can even make calls, secret agent-style without getting out their phone. The Gear also sports a basic camera and works with popular social media and fitness apps such as Twitter and RunKeeper. The Android-powered device starts shipping in most countries Sept. 25 starting at $299.

Moreover, Samsung announced 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 smartphone too.

Galaxy Note 3

The screen sizes have been creeping up slightly from Note to Note. The first version from 2011 measured in at 5.3 inches, followed by the Note II at just over 5.5 inches, followed by the Note 3 at just shy of 5.7 inches.
There’s a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, three gigabytes of RAM, a big 3,200mAh battery and a 13-megapixel camera.
The Galaxy Note 3 will be available starting in October. Prices haven’t yet been set by U.S. carriers.

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Samsung also revealed its latest revision of the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. Dubbed the "2014 Edition," Samsung's latest tablet measures just 7.9 millimeters thick and is billed as the "ultimate productivity" device. It's also seen an uptick in resolution compared to the previous model, now featuring a high-res 2560 x 1600 display. In fact, it's basically identical to the panel we've previously seen on Google's Nexus 10, which of course is manufactured by Samsung. That's about where the hardware similarities end, though.

As you'd expect, Samsung is bringing the same new software features and apps found on the Note III to the larger tablet. Air Command and improved takes on S Pen and Multi-Window are all included. Like the Note III and Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it will be released worldwide in 149 countries on September 25th. 

From this we can see Samsung is seeking for best product so we should believe in it and continue using Android products. As to me, it makes me easy to use a phone to do what they want. By my phone and tablets, I will watch my favorite movies; no matter they are English, French or Chinese. Though sometimes I feel a little confused, I’d like to know how people live in other countries. I use a blu-ray player and it can alter languages, of course in your PC. If you use a mobile phone, it can also play audios and videos. The only thing you need to do connect your tablets and make it useful and you could just enjoy your movies here. This player is amazing and I like it.http://www.blurayplayermac.com/

Share some video/audio formats

How many video and audio formats do you know? Here I will give a brief introduction of these formats. AVI Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology.

AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. Like the DVD video format, AVI files support multiple streaming audio and video, although these features are seldom used. Most AVI files also use the file format extensions developed by the Matrox OpenDML group in February 1996. These files are supported by Microsoft, and are unofficially called "AVI 2.0".

AMV is a proprietary video file format, produced for MP4 players, as well as S1 MP3 players with video playback. There are now two different MTV formats: the older one for the Actions chip, and a newer one for ALi’s M5661 chip. This format for ALi one was ALIAVI.

WebM extension. Webm Internet media type video / webm audio / the webm developed by Google initial version 2010-05-19 format video file specifically the case VP8 (video) extending Vorbis (audio) since Matroska free open source.

WebM is an audio-video format designed to provide royalty-free, open video compression for use with HTML5 video. The project's development is sponsored by Google Inc.

A WebM file consists of VP8 video and Vorbis audio streams, in a container based on a profile of Matroska. The project releases WebM related software under a BSD license and all users are granted a worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free patent license.

The 'Matroska Multimedia Container' is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows.

Matroska File Extention .mkv .mka .mks Internet Media Type video/x-matroska audio/x-matroska Developer Matroska.org Type of format Container format Container for Multimedia Open format? Yes Matroska The name "Matroska" is derived from the Russian word Matryoshka (Russian: матрёшка [mɐˈtrʲoʂkə]), which means nesting doll (the common Russian cylindrical-shaped doll within a doll, also known as a babushka doll). This is a play on the container (media within a form of media/doll within a doll) aspect of the matryoshka as it is a container for visual and audio data. The loose transliteration may be confusing to Russian speakers, as the Russian word matroska (Russian: матроска) actually refers to a sailor suit. File types Matroska media defines three types of files: ·         MKV （Matroska Video File): Video file can contain audio and subtitles; ·         MKA （Matroska Audio File): A single audio file, how many types of tracks; ·         MKS （Matroska Subtitles): Subtitle file.

The following list is a list of MKV and AVI:
