  • Angry Birds – Now on Windows Phone 7

    Angry Birds – Now on Windows Phone 7

    For those of you who own a Windows Phone 7 Smart-phone, there’s some good news! You can now download  Angry Birds from the Marketplace onto your phone. The first time we heard that this game was coming to the platform was in October 2010, even before the mobile OS was launched. A few days before its launch, Microsoft included an image which hinted at the game being a part of the platform. However, Rovio, the company behind the physics game, had not developed a version for the platform.

    Microsot and Rovio later made up and the software giant hinted at a 2011 release. The game was scheduled for mid May and then pushed back to 29th June. On Wednesday, users from around the world could download the game from the Marketplace.

  • Internet Explorer 10 Preview 2, holds upcoming strength for Microsoft

    Internet Explorer 10 Preview 2, holds upcoming strength for Microsoft

    Microsoft has released a new Internet Explorer 10 preview, the second pre-release of Internet Explorer 10 designed to give developers access to the new technologies that Internet Explorer 10 will deliver.

    Still in preview mode the explorer does not grant access  to technologies and structure that will be available in the final build, but it does give a preview of the browsers capabilities.

    Preview 2 also includes support for the new Web File API, Web Worker API, HTML5 Test, Javascript test and Acid 3. All of which show that Internet explorer is making good progress with its new capabilities. As it is Microsoft is ahead of schedule in releasing beta updates for the IE platform. It shows the ability MS has in bringing its primary browser up to speed with the competition sometimes even leaving it behind.

    Features like Web worker and Web Sockets will make developers really happy, and the end product which is just a fast paced internet experience would do the same for end users.

  • Microsoft will launch a new Xbox at E3 2012

    Microsoft will launch a new Xbox at E3 2012

    According to a source close to BGR, Microsoft intends to unveil its next-generation Xbox console at E3 2012 next summer. The rumored console has been in development since 2006 and has been carefully kept under wraps.  Earlier it was speculated that the next revision will be called XBOX 720, But that really seems unlikely.

    With Kinect already doing better than expected, It makes sense for the Gaming department at Redmond to improve the hardware in the XBOX to bring on the next generation of Consoles which will be ready to handle next-gen Gaming.

  • Want a Free iPad? Join the Singapore Military!

    Want a Free iPad? Join the Singapore Military!

    According to several reports the Singapore Government is prepping up for  boosting the joining rate for its military services. The govt. plans to provide free iPads to army, air force, and navy recruits in November. The best thing about this story is that everyone in Singapore (men who are healthy) has to serve in the military for at least 2 years. This would mean that the coming generation of Singapore population would be all (almost) holding a tablet (namely iPads).

    [quote]By exploiting the use of popular and current information and communications technology, we are able to harness our advantage of today’s technologically savvy servicemen” Said Defence chief Neo Kian Hong[/quote]

    Troops can use the iPad’s built-in camera to take photos and video clips in the field which can be uploaded to the SAF’s online platform, LEARNet. Soldiers can use these photos and videos to carry out post-mission assessments.

    Samsung will not make the Apple A6 Processor

    TSMC or Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp will be the next company to manufacture the Apple A6 Chips that will go in the upcoming iPhone 5 / iPad 3. According to rumors Apple is looking for a high performance chip with a much more smaller topography than Samsung can manufacture. Samsung already had difficulties in the A5’s 45nm process. While it is suggested that TSMC will manufacture the processor on low power 28nm ARM chips.

     

  • Google’s Nexus Prime will be the first to run ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’

    Google’s Nexus Prime will be the first to run ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’

    Looks like Google’s dropout with HTC  will continue for the coming up proprietary Google Smartphone, Usually dubbed as a developer phone, these devices get the latest versions of Android OS first and also run Stock un modded-roms. This time around the device may be dubbed the ‘Nexus Prime’ and will be manufactured by Samsung, just Like the Nexus S.

    According to BGR, the new Nexus Prime will have a “Super AMOLED HD” resolution display which will have a 720p size. There are also reports of the OMAP4460 being used as the main processor in the device.

    There are also reports that this time around Google may have a multi device launch for the Ice Cream Sandwich (seriously!) that could include flagship devices from everyone including HTC, Samsung, Motorola and even LG.

    HTC Unveils The HTC Flyer In India, The First Tablet With HTC Sense

    ·         Marks HTC’s foray in the tablet market in India

    ·         Aluminum unibody design with touch and pen interaction make HTC Flyer unique

    ·         First tablet with HTC WatchÄ video service, HTC ScribeÄ Technology and OnLive cloud gaming

    New Delhi, India – June 27, 2011 – HTC, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced its first tablet in India, the HTC FlyerTM. HTC Flyer blends HTC’s trademark design language with an all-new HTC Sense user experience that has been reimagined for the tablets. Using an intuitive and innovative approach to tablets, HTC Flyer combines natural touch and pen interaction. HTC also announced HTC Watch, a new connected video service that will debut on HTC Flyer tablet, and will collaborate with OnLive, Inc. to launch the first cloud-based mobile gaming service on a tablet.

     

    “HTC believes that many people are progressing beyond a single wireless device paradigm into an era where some will own multiple wireless devices that serve their different needs,” said Faisal Siddiqui, Country Manager, HTC India.  “We saw an opportunity to create a tablet experience that is different, more personal and productive, and are extremely excited to introduce the HTC Flyer in the Indian market.”

     

    Encased in a sleek aluminum unibody, the HTC Flyer tablet exudes the iconic style and build quality HTC is known for.  It is also ultra-light, weighing as little as a paperback book, and compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket only.  With a seven-inch display, lightning fast 1.5Ghz processor and high-speed HSPA+ wireless capabilities, the HTC Flyer tablet is perfect for those who have been waiting for a tablet that is both compact and powerful.

     

    HTC Sense for Tablet

    HTC Sense revolutionized smartphones by placing the person at the center of the experience. HTC Flyer’s tablet-focused HTC Sense experience focuses on surprising and delighting people with its gorgeous 3D home screen. A unique carousel of widgets puts a user’s most important content and information at the visual center of the experience.  The HTC Flyer tablet also offers uncompromised Web browsing with Flash 10 and HTML 5.

     

     

     

    HTC Scribe Technology

    Touch interaction lights up the HTC Flyer tablet experience, but it also offers a groundbreaking pen experience. With the new HTC Scribe Technology on the HTC Flyer tablet, people can rediscover the natural act of writing. HTC Scribe Technology introduces a wave of integrated digital ink innovations that make it easy and natural to take notes, sign contracts, draw pictures, or even write on a web page or photo.

     

    HTC Scribe Technology on the HTC Flyer tablet transforms traditional note-taking into smart note-taking by integrating natural onscreen writing with thoughtful and integrated innovations. A feature called Timemark enables you to capture the audio of a meeting in line with your written notes, so tapping on a word in your notes instantly takes you to that exact place in time in the audio recording of the meeting. Notes are also integrated with the calendar so when there is an appointment reminder you are automatically prompted with an opportunity to begin a new note or in the case of recurring meetings, to continue where the last meeting left off.  In an industry first, the HTC Flyer tablet also features built-in synchronization with EvernoteÄ, the world-leading notes application and service.

     

    Streaming Mobile Movies with HTC Watch

    The HTC Flyer tablet premieres HTC Watch, HTC’s new video download service.  The HTC Watch service enables low-cost on-demand progressive downloading of hundreds of High-Definition movies from major studios. The intuitive, natural design of the HTC Watch service makes it easy to find the latest movie and video content, while advanced technology on the back-end enables instant playback over the HTC Flyer tablet’s high-speed wireless connection.

     

    Mobile Cloud Gaming with OnLive

    HTC takes mobile gaming to an entirely new level by being the first mobile device in the world to integrate OnLive Inc.’s revolutionary cloud-based gaming service. OnLive is leading in the home gaming market by letting people play top video games on their televisions and computers without the need to buy expensive gaming hardware or software.  When integrated fully, the OnLive service will enable customers to pipe the OnLive service through the HTC Flyer tablet’s broadband wireless to their television sets, or let them play directly on the tablet. When integrated on the HTC Flyer tablet, people can play a variety of games, including hits like Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood™, NBA 2K11 and Lego Harry Potter™.

     

    Pricing & Availability

    The HTC Flyer will be available at a Market Operating Price of Rs. 39,890* at all authorized HTC resellers across the country.

    * Prices may vary according to the local applicable taxes

  • Edit : Should You Buy The iPhone 3Gs?

    Edit : Should You Buy The iPhone 3Gs?

    The iPhone 3Gs was a hardware revision device for the iPhone 3G, bringing more CPU power and Ram to the equation. The iPhone 3GS also brought about a better 3.2mp camera with tap to focus.

     

    We got information of the impending re-launch of the iPhone 3Gs on 24th June. Without fail the 3Gs reappeared at the new price point of 20k. Now the question remains does the iPhone 3Gs qualify as a good option? Does is present a value for money deal?

    Here is what we think.

    The iPhone 3GS was originally launched in 2009 in the US and 2010 in India. The Device  features a 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, PowerVR SGX535 GPU, 256 MB RAM, and upto 32GB of storage. The device also currently features iOS 4 and works brilliantly with iOS 5 (we’ve tested it and can verify, that till beta 2 iOS 5 works great on 3GS).

    Reading a whole bunch of articles written by Tech – Bloggers , I was shocked at how blatantly the iPhone 3GS was being shot down. Though in a personal opinion the 3GS is an old hardware based device and has specs which would disgruntle almost anyone looking for souped up smartphone. The iPhone 3Gs bring a lot more, than any device at the price point can.

    Lets look at it point by point.

    1. OS

    iOS by far is the simplest of operating systems, designed to be used by a finger. The UI is fluid and begs you to interact with it.  Currently multitasking between apps is great on iOS where most Android handsets in that price range don’t support true multitasking, the iPhone 3GS has it and it works great. Using the right setup you can do a lot of things on your device. Wireless sharing of emails, pictures and music, streaming internet radio and movies, home automation, wifi printing and even controlling a quadro-copter  the hundreds of thousands of apps from the App Store let you make your imagination run wild, and then, there is an app for that. The Apps are designed to run perfects in harmony with the iOS infrastructure.

    The best part (according to me) of iOS for someone who does not understand or have the time to understand the intricate details of technology, is that the system is safe and bug free. Because third party apps go through a strict verification process, seldom do you find an App which would slow your device down. So no matter what you install or how many you install, Apps will not slow down the OS. That makes perfect sense for someone who is not a techie.

    On the other hand Android brings the ability to customize the OS, and play around with it, the more you edit and tweak the OS, the more your chances  of a system restore appear. Now there is no need to throw a banter, you can be extremely safe with Android, you just have to know what you are installing and what all does it access. But in Android, third party apps can have a built in snooper sending all your information back to the designer of the app.

     

    2. BUILD

    While it isn’t an iPhone 4, the 3Gs is pretty solid when it comes to construction. One of the most beautiful phones available today the 3Gs is available in black and white and millions of customization options are available, from skins, decals to plain covers, flip covers, leather covers, plastic covers, branded covers and hard cases. The most number of accessories ever made for a phone? the iPhone stands at number one in that record.

     

    3. Conclusion

    When we first heard rumors of the iPhone 3Gs being relaunched, we heard a price point of about 16,500/-. But, when the actual price came to be 20,000/- we lost confidence that Apple would do well selling its last year legend. Sure there are those who would love to buy the 3GS for its “Brand” and its simplicity, there are also those who will buy it for the sheer number of apps and usability features that these apps will give.

    There are better options in terms of hardware specs, the rugged motorola defy is much cheaper and its water proof, the Galaxy S, the Nexus S, The Galaxy Sl, Wave 2, Blackberry Bold 3, Nokia  N8. Sure these devices have better hardware, But we can promise one thing No operating system in our opinion comes close to the smooth and lag free experience of the iOS running on the iPhone 3GS (Of-course we mean at that price point)

     

    So if you don’t have time to mess with your device / Smartphone get the iPhone 3GS because it doesn’t get any better than this. But if you are more of a tech friendly person get an Android device you will be much happier with the open-ness of Android infrastructure.

  • Apple Sues Samsung for the Second time , Now in Korea

    Apple Sues Samsung for the Second time , Now in Korea

    Apple inc. has filed a suit for the second time, against Samsung for copying the iPhone’s design. The suit claims that the Samsung Galaxy S copies the third-generation iPhone.

     

    “It is no coincidence that Samsung’s latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging,” an Apple spokesperson said regarding case

    The suing war started back in April when Apple sued Samsung claiming it copied “Apple’s technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products.” Samsung responded just one week later by filing countersuits.

    The interesting aspect behind all of this is that Apple is currently Samsung’s largest buyer of LCD components. Go figure !

    iG Exclusive : Apple Re: Launching Iphone 3GS in India Tomorrow for 20k, Factory Unlocked

    This is it, exclusive news for those waiting to spend up-to 20k on their smart-phones. Apple has just made the choice tougher. The  iPhone 3Gs will be re-launched in India and go on sale tomorrow for 20 thousand. Whats more its going to be completely factory unlocked and will work with your carrier of choice.

    The iPhone 3GS was originally launched in India in 2010 approximately 10 months after its launch in the United States. the 3Gs was sold locked to Airtel and Vodafone at full pricing. this in turn led to a lot of controversy in Apple’s Indian Market strategy. This year Apple started to sell the iPhone 4, again after 10 months of its US launch, but this time around the device was factory unlocked and ready to use worldwide.

    The pricing of the iPhone 3Gs seems very competitive especially when 20 thousand is a decent budget for a smartphone these days.

    We will get you more news on this as and when we gather.
