Massive PS4 Update 1.70 Gets a Release Date

Change gonna come.

Sony has announced the upcoming massive PS4 Update 1.70 will be arriving in Europe on April 30.
A tweet from the company announced that the update, which includes both the SHAREfactory and option to switch HDCP off, will be launching at the end of the month. Presumably North America will be getting it around the same time.
In case you missed it, SHAREfactory is a “new rich video editor app for PS4 that makes it easy for you to customize your gameplay videos.” These videos can then be uploaded to Facebook directly, or put on a device connected via USB.
The update will also see you able to pre-load games you've purchased ahead of release, meaning when the clock ticks over to launch day you'll be able to play them instantly. Finally, the option to switch HDCP off means you can capture directly from HDMI out, which should make things significantly easier for anyone wanting to create longer clips of gameplay or walkthroughs.

The PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. Wii U Comparison Chart provides an easy visual aid to compare hardware, user interface, media compatibility and other features on the three "next-gen" systems. By popular demand, a Wii U column has been added to the chart for reference. Note that several comparison specs like GPU are not possible at this point due to a lack of confirmed, concrete information.  Feature PlayStation 4 Xbox One Wii U Optical Drive Blu-ray/DVD [1] Blu-ray/DVD [2] 25GB Optical Disc (Proprietary) Game DVR Yes [3] Yes [4] No RAM 8GB GDDR5 [5] 8GB DDR3 [6] 2GB DDR3 [7] CPU Single-chip x86 AMD "Jaguar" processor, 8 cores [8] 8 Core Microsoft custom CPU [9] Multi-Core PowerPC "Espresso" CPU [10] Storage TBA 500 GB Hard Drive [11] 8GB or 32GB Flash External Storage TBA Yes, USB [12] Yes, USB Cloud Storage Yes [13] Yes [14] No Mandatory Game Installs TBA Yes [15] No Requir...

Samsung releases Gear 2 and Gear Fit SDK

Image
Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo went official just three days ago, running on a Tizen-based OS. This time around though Samsung has confirmed both smartwatches will support third-party apps. The lack of third-party apps was a major drawback on the first Gear watch and we are happy to see Samsung is changing its strategy. So, just as promised at the announcement, the SDK for the Gear 2 duo is now live. Even better, the SDK also supports the Tizen-based Galaxy Fit band, so it will also welcome third-party apps once it hits the shelves. Finally, Samsung is launching another SDK for the S-Health services. Both SDK kits are now available for download on Samsung’s Developer Portal.

Microsoft Office Mobile for Android drops Office 365 subscription requirement

Image
Yesterday, Microsoft finally announced the Office suite of apps for the iPad, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. But along with the new announcement, Microsoft also made a quiet change to its existing Android app. Just like its iOS counterparts, the Android version of the Office Mobile app required an Office 365 subscription to actually be used to create and edit documents. Surprisingly, Microsoft has dropped that requirement now, which means you can access the app fully without having to spend a dime. The app still only lets you create Word and Excel files, with no way to create or edit PowerPoints and all your files will be saved on your OneDrive instead of locally. Also, there isn’t really a version optimized for Android tablets yet. Still, it’s a free app so you can’t complain much about it.
