Apple will remain the champion of Internet tablets, at least until 2015, according to research firm Gartner. Arrival a year before its competitors with the iPad, the company headed by Steve Jobs should retain 47% of the global market in 2015 and internet tablets. In four years, Apple would sell 138.5 million of its own shelves, using the solution to those of Google (113.5 million), Canada's Research in Motion (29.5 million), U.S. HP (8.9 million) and finally MeeGo Nokia and Intel (3 million).

Google's Android system should therefore take 39% market share in 2015 against 20% this year, according to Gartner estimates. Slower than a breakthrough in smart phones that Google is poised to dethrone Apple's iPhone.

In addition, two other new players will emerge.Internet tablets, in the minds of the next playbook, proposed by the Canadian manufacturer Research in Motion's Blackberry, should take the third place worldwide. "It will take time to create an economic model with applications and services to create a viable competitor to Apple and Android," warns Carolina Milanesi.

The operating system WebOS, acquired by HP for its future tablet PC and, finally, should climb to fourth in the world after the release of its first products expected in June.

The stakes are high. Because the tablets are the most dynamic products in the history of computing and telecommunications. The market will represent 294 million units in 2015 against 17 million in 2010.It took nearly thirty years and ten PC market to that of smartphones to reach volumes of comparable sales.

The recording of the meeting on 14 February at Renault had not yet yielded all its secrets. Challenges magazine published on Friday that new clips directly implicate Jean-Claude Marin, the Paris prosecutor.

The latter had been contacted by the management of Renault in the early days of the internal investigation. He then gave his agreement to continue investigations despite the illegality of the information collected, including those relating to account numbers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. "What interests me since the first second, it is the materiality of that. By any means. And when I say by all means is that the process of the Republic, he accepted that our means were borderline (range, note), because the evidence in criminal cases is free, we intend to say Christian Husson The legal director of the manufacturer.

He adds: "It could very well send us and refuse to walk, he agreed to cover our ways and means were borderline, because we are in the extraterritorial, outside France. So we, we are cushy terms of legal framework and legal stuff. We went in knowing Marino, saying that our ways are extra, extra, extra border. He has covered there. "

Denied "formal"

The prosecutor's reaction was immediate.It "categorically denies having been issued by any authority to conduct informal investigations, even though he led an inquiry by the Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence (DCRI) of which he was already apparent at the time of this conversation, and thanks to information provided by foreign judicial authorities, that the accusations were unfounded by Renault, "said a statement.

"The comments made during this conversation are therefore a manipulation by the misuse of imagination endorsement given by the Paris prosecutor to pursue a private investigation," he concludes.

Dominique Gevrey alerted his leadership

If we believe the registration, Gevrey Dominique, head of security, had already alerted his leadership on the dubious nature of the evidence collected by the "Belgian" paydayloans."We would have expected in late February or early March, we have taken every son of this case which have not been learned. You'll see the DCRI (Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence, ed), you do not wear complaint. Either it tells us to go and see 'Sort this out with your crappy file that you started without us', or so they say, 'OK, we take into account the record'. They are our three Pomeranians (the three executives, ed) monitored, it lasts until July to August or September to October, and then they will fall very slowly. And the case was conducted by the DCRI, "said Dominique Gevrey."It drew attention, but hey, Tixador and Gevrey, in the machine, it is a damn!" He says, alluding to his colleague of safety, Marc Tixador.

Counsel feared money laundering

Another new element from this recording: the suspicion of money laundering which aroused the attention of the group's lawyer. As part of this investigation, the source was in fact paid with money obtained through an intermediary based in Algiers from false invoices. "There on the circuit of money, I'm in a situation where I stopped breathing because that is what I call money.We went out of the money bills, it was given to a person who took out the liquid! And with all that, Ghosn is going to do 20 hours 'Youp Youp' next to Gad Elmaleh or I do not know that! "Irritated John Reinhart.

Despite all these pressures, Dominique Gevrey never given the name of his source at this meeting.

The backlash from senior Renault

The false espionage affair may be very expensive for Renault. According to a survey published tomorrow Marianne, the three executives dismissed wrongly claiming the automaker between 2.4 and 3.2 million euros for moral prejudice. Unprecedented amounts, with the exception of the 45 million euros paid to Bernard Tapie in connection with the Credit Lyonnais case, and in addition to statutory compensation and unfair dismissal. In total, the addition to the builder could climb to 11 million euros.

The three executives, who made between 22 and 33-year career at Renault, has already received compensation law: 480,000 euros for Michel Balthazar, 200,000 euros and 50,000 euros Bertrand Rochette Matthieu Tenenbaum, according to Marianne.He will also receive compensation for wrongful dismissal amounting respectively to 750,000 euros, 500,000 euros and 120,000 euros.

Abuse of social good or tribunal

Each also claims are moral damages, which are considerably higher than these amounts.Michel Balthazard require 3.2 million euros, Bertrand Rochette 3 check cash advance.5 million euros and Matthieu Tenenbaum 2.4 million euros.

As for Philippe Clogenson also dismissed under an earlier anonymous tip, the same type as that which launched the pseudo-espionage, he could rejoin the group with a salary higher than previous financial compensation to approximately 300,000 euros.

Renaut now faces a dilemma: if the group agrees to pay the sums demanded by executives wrongfully dismissed, "she takes the risk, in turn, be a complaint for abuse of social good," writes Marianne. "Conversely, if Renault refuses to bow to their financial demands, the company takes the risk of sounding prud'hommal trial and a new media campaign, terrible for the image of the brand and, most importantly, for its CEO. "

The decision could be taken at a meeting of the Board extraordianaire Renault scheduled April 11.

While the new law Lagarde which governs consumer credit and debt situations will apply to early May, the French seem to turn away from credit. According to a study conducted by TNS Sofres for the French Banking Federation (FBF) the share of French households owning a credit had not reached a level this low since 15 years. Less than half (49.5%) of households had a credit and the end of 2010, down 1.3 points compared with 2009 (50.3%) and 3.1 points compared to 2008. These figures confirm the results of the previous Barometer published in January 2011.

Under consumer credit

This decline is due to a decline in the use of consumer credit.For the first time in 15 years also, the number of households holding a mortgage (30.5%) is higher than with consumer credit (30.1%). The share of households using a consumer credit to finance a project (equipment for home, auto, housing improvements) has remained virtually unchanged. At the same time, the use of consumer credit to finance spending on leisure, vacation, "or consumption, has also declined sharply (13.8% in 2010 against 15.8% in 2009).

"This decline is mainly due to changes in the use of consumer credit," says Michel Mouillart, professor of economics at the University of Paris X-Nanterre, and author of the study payday loans for bad credit.Franck Lehuédé, project manager of the Research Centre for the Study and Observation of Living Conditions (Credoc), "this is not a new trend, it's just the fact that consumer credit has rather suffered from years of crisis, "he said on Europe 1. For him, we are witnessing a rebalancing, and the French have refocused on the basics: investing in stone. The number of home loans has indeed jumped 18% over 2009. Households – those under 30 years in particular have benefited from historically low interest rates, and aid to the accessions introduced by the government (tax deductibility of loan interest …).

Finally, Marc William's Circle economists, believes the speech and alarming warnings about the risks of the government's revolving credit facility, could discourage a number of French borrowing.

If house prices continued to rise in early 2011, at a rate slightly less intense, according to figures released Tuesday by the Chamber of Notaries of Paris-Ile de France.

Always important, the increase reached 4.3% in the capital, down from the 5.2% recorded between July and October 2010.

The pause recorded earlier this year could well be the "backlash of the exceptional activity" at the end of 2010, says notaries in their statement. The announced end January 1, state aid to the acquisition (doubling of interest-free loan, deductibility of loan interest …) has indeed led many households to accelerate their purchases to take advantage.

From our correspondents in Nanking (China)

Finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 want to expand the powers of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and bring the yuan in special drawing rights.

All participants in the seminar of the G20, which ended Thursday in Nanjing, agree: 2011 may be another year of instability. The establishment of a new monetary order is needed to better withstand the crisis than before. "We are now all convinced of the need to reform the international monetary system", launched satisfied, the Minister of Economy Christine Lagarde, before leaving the old capital of China.

If the recovery makes cooperation less urgent in the G20, the collapse of Greece, Ireland and Portugal recalls the extreme fragility of the global economy.The recent G7 intervention to rescue the yen proves the effectiveness of concerted action. "This system of flexible exchange can not evolve without rules, without coordination, without supervision, otherwise the instability," warned Nicolas Sarkozy at the opening of the seminar.

"Does it make sense today, given the growing impact of capital flows, the IMF can make recommendations to a country on its current account, not on its capital account? I do not think so, "said the head of state.

Amend the articles

Thus, when Benin needs money, the International Monetary Fund aid in exchange for strict control of its finances, while a country accumulates foreign exchange reserves in defiance of international cooperation has no accountability overnight pay day loans.

In Nanking, Timothy Geithner, U.S. Treasury Secretary, said that in the face of world currencies flexible "emerging markets have exchange rate regimes closely managed, with extensive capital controls. This asymmetry creates a lot of tension. "Prime target, the yuan, accused of being undervalued by the Americans, very vindictive about it.

France, she thinks he can calm the scenePresident Hu Jintao would be prepared to discuss the entry of the yuan in the basket of special drawing rights (SDRs) and closer to the Chinese currency's dollar, euro, yen and pound, all of which are included . "This is a matter of time," he reportedly said head to head to the President of the French Republic. It is also a way of reflecting the economic weight of China now second largest economy on the monetary side. But the integration of the yuan in the SDR basket guess it is really convertible. One question that China refuses to discuss the time officially.
