  WinZip for iOS 3.5 adds Google Drive and OneDrive support, makes zip file management easier

  Publié: juin 30, 2014, 11:56pm CEST par Nick Peers

  WinZip has released WinZip for iOS 3.5, a major update to its iOS app for managing zip files on an iPhone or iPad. The latest version of the app, which is heavily discounted to just $1.99 until July 2nd, allows users to zip, extract, encrypt and share zip files safely.

  Version 3.5 opens with added support for two new cloud-based storage accounts, with users now able to directly access both Google Drive and OneDrive accounts in addition to Dropbox.

  To access cloud-based accounts, users need simply tap the account, provide credentials if required, and then the account is fully accessible. Users can zip up files stored online, unzip files to their cloud accounts and even create and save zip/zipx files directly to the cloud.

  The app can also be used to download files from the user’s storage account and save it on their iPhone or iPad, plus -- thanks to improvements introduced in version 3.2 -- upload music tracks from the user’s device to their cloud storage.

  Version 3.5 also tweaks the user interface to simplify the task of navigating files. The UI redesign also makes zipping up, protecting and sharing files simpler than before.

  WinZip already supports the viewing of a wide range of document formats, and version 3.5 extends this further by adding support to the latest iWorks 13 formats for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

  The update is rounded off by providing users with access to WinZip’s helpdesk should users fail when attempting to open an archive file.

  WinZip for iOS 3.5 is available now for a limited time for $1.99 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or later. The normal MSRP is $4.99.

  Samsung not concerned about the prospect of an Apple smartwatch

  Publié: juin 30, 2014, 7:27pm CEST par Sam Pudwell

  

  Speaking at a press event as part of Samsung's Business Discovery Day, Jae Shin, the vice president of Samsung's Knox mobile security business group, said that wearable devices will take off with or without Apple's help.

  Historically, the hype surrounding the launch of a new Apple product has provided the kick-start for interest in a new type of technology. This has previously been the case for smartphones and tablet computers, thanks to the iPhone and iPad, respectively.

  However, when asked whether Samsung was worried about losing its early lead in the wearables market when Apple eventually releases its much-rumored iWatch, Shin argued that consumers have "the know-how and the resources to make a smart decision".

  He went on to say that Apple isn't the only company that can generate excitement in its products anymore and that other firms can get in on the action.

  "Consumers are lot smarter these days and there's a lot for information available to them," he continued.

  "At Samsung, we provide a lot of technical support and SDKs to developers so that they actually create innovation solutions and applications and user experiences that provide what the consumer wants; transparent technology. They want to be able to use it for a purpose they're going to benefit from".

  Apple's iWatch will inevitably attract a lot of hype and publicity when it does arrive, but until that time comes, Samsung won't be wasting any time worrying about it.

  Silicon Power releases really fast Marvel M70 USB 3.0 flash drive -- looks a bit like a sex toy

  Publié: juin 30, 2014, 7:14pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  

  Everybody is gaga over the friggin' cloud. Sure, I love the convenience of the cloud too -- I backup my precious family photos to Google Drive just in case. The cloud should not be anyone's sole means of backup however, and if it is, there should be redundancy between 2 or 3 services.

  For my important files, I do not trust the cloud exclusively. Believe it or not, I still like to use optical media as a backup medium. However, I no longer use CD or DVD, but 50GB Blu-ray disks. Pricey? Yes, but worth it. In addition to optical media, I also use flash drives, but only ones of quality and performance. In the past, I have had luck with Silicon Power products, and that company announces the M70 flash drive -- super fast and super sexy.

  "Incorporating the surprisingly high transferring rates up to Read/ Write 240MB/80MB/sec and incredibly large capacities up to 128GB, Marvel M70 appears to be the most powerful addition to its current USB 3.0 portfolio, also marking the milestone of memory storage industry. Steering away from conventional designs, Marvel M70 exercises the design concept of sports car and features the sumptuous, sleek and dynamic character with artistically delicate craftsmanship and luxurious zinc alloy casing. Featuring extraordinary performance and contemporary appearance, Marvel M70 embodies the spirit of high-fashion technology which thoroughly shows the new vision of storage device design", says Silicon Power.

  

  The company further says that the "flash drive is built with untraditional [sic] and dynamic shape design that conveys the strength and grace in the same time. Simple yet powerful, Marvel M70 executes sleek and succinct lines to express the sense of speed and power. Moreover, Marvel M70 is artistically crafted with luxurious metallic material of zinc alloy and exquisite sandblasting treatment that altogether create the high-end visual enjoyment. Combining exceptional performance and head-turning designs, Marvel M70 is the drive for professional and modern users. To better satisfy different mobile needs, Marvel M70 offers multiple choices of storage capacities including 32GB, 64GB and 128GB".

  The company lists the following specs:

  • Dimension: 56.6 * 20.0 * 12.4 mm (+/-0.3mm)
  • Weight: 16.8g (+/-10%)
  • Capacity: 32GB / 64GB / 128GB
  • Material: Zinc Alloy
  • Color: Dark Gray / Silver
  • Interface: USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 / USB 1.1 compatible
  • Operating temperature: 0° C ~ 70° C
  • Supported OS: Windows 8/7/XP, Mac OS 10.3.x, Linux 2.6.x
  • Certification: CE/FCC/BSMI/Green dot/WEEE/RoHS/KCC
  • Warranty: Lifetime warranty

  While new ground is not being broken with this product, I can still appreciate it as a seemingly high-quality drive. I would not hesitate to trust my data on a product from Silicon Power. It is fast, beautiful and crafted from quality materials. Hell, it even looks a bit like a pocket-sized vibrating marital aid and that is pretty cool, right? I only wish that it came in 256GB too. Unfortunately, pricing is not available, but it should be available at Newegg and Amazon soon.
