class=”p1″> [John] was in fact recalled that the OS can use sensors that contains the Freescale processor, … to measure the temperature. Since it is useless, most of the time, it can therefore serve as thermometer, and assess the ambient temperature.

Suffice it to create a thermometer directory under / mnt / us and install the files. To have an ideal temperature measurement, based on electronic ink, then you are on the right track.

class=”p2″>

Some scripts will conduct an audit of the temperature every minute, and display large on the screen. The buttons are then used to convert the measurement of temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. It is also possible to display a graph of the change of temperature.

class=”p1″> Note, however, every reason to believe that this is the temperature of the Kindle that is displayed – here a model Paperwhite – jailbroken beforehand. And not that of your environment. It may make a little warmer inside of your machine than you …

Taiwan United Daily News , MediaTek has signed a contract with Amazon to provide processors to the Kindle Fire.

You have to take the tongs rigor, but it seems that MediaTek has found a place within the range of Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. According to information from newspaper United Daily News, MediaTek has concluded an agreement with Amazon for U.S. multinational uses the MT8135 chip manufacturer Taiwan in future tablets . The newspaper did not specify but if the chip is present in a single tablet model or several. In view of the characteristics of SoC Mediatek, there is a good chance that we find in an entry declination even mid-range of the Kindle Fire.

Quad-core and GPU PowerVR

To recap, the SoC MediaTek MT8135 integrates two ARM Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 two that work on the principle of big.LITTLE MP, a technology that allows you to run 4 hearts same time if the unit has a large power requirement. The graphics SoC is supported by a chip PowerVR G6200 Rogue has a computing power of 83 GFLOPS, comparable to the Adreno 320 on the Snapdragon 600. If the MT8135 is present in a future Kindle Fire, it will then compare the performance of all with what will happen. 64-bit SoC may well overshadow this MediaTek chip but its floor price could allow Amazon to offer an inexpensive and powerful enough for most tablet users.

Breakthrough MediaTek internationally?

If this information proves correct, the presence of international MediaTek would grow because Amazon sells its million tablets worldwide. This would enable MediaTek to be represented by a manufacturer other than Chinese and try to put aside his image very low-cost.

class=”c7″> eReaders and many other things
class=”c4″> Amazon states that this new partner will also sell other branded products Amazon without specifying which. class=”c4″> In addition, the firm of Jeff Bezos is going to serve Giunti al Punto, a new website allowing customers to buy line physical and digital books and many other products. They will accrue good of “Giunti points” that can be converted into vouchers to buy products in physical stores.

class=”c4″> a time when Amazon boycotts appear to be organized in Europe this agreement is somewhat strange. The Italian Seller, agreeing to a pact with Amazon locked up the ecosystem of the brand, without exclusivity.
class=”c4″> is known that when customer buys a Kindle, it no longer (or almost) goes through another library that is available in the reading light, ie the Kindle Store. Turnover of Giunti may therefore be rather ephemeral, no real customer loyalty and contribute to Amazon butter. class=”c4″> However, terms of the agreement are obviously not disclosed.
class=”c4″> When Fnac in France signed with Kobo, the Partnership was exclusive and could think the deal was a win-win. A little over a year later, Kobo has opened the floodgates and offers its playback devices with several resellers.
class=”c4″> We also remember that at the announcement of the creation of the Amazon Source program in the United States (November 2013), the concept had caused an outcry from independent booksellers, and for good reason (read our article).
