Look at Those Curves....Samsung presents OLED Curved TV!

First demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, Samsung's 55-inch S9C curved OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TV is already available in South Korea and the US.
The idea is that, by mirroring the curvature of the eye, the screen is more immersive and produces a cinematic viewing experience.

"It's like bringing home an IMAX theatre that you can enjoy every day," said Guy Kinnell, Head of TV and AV for Samsung UK and Ireland.
Samsung claims that, as well as offering amazing picture quality and sharper colour contrast, the S9C is the first TV to feature Multi View capabilities, meaning two people can watch completely different full-screen Full-HD content - even in 3D - on the same display.

The Multi View feature is enabled by Samsung’s 3D Active glasses, which come with built-in personal speakers providing full stereo sound. Viewers can switch between the two sources with the touch of a button, without changing glasses.
The S9C also incorporates the latest Samsung Smart TV features including the new Smart Hub interface, which organises entertainment and content into five panels - On TV, Movies and TV Shows, Social, Apps and Photos, Videos and Music - and the S Recommendation feature which recommends content based on the owner’s viewing habits.

Apple iPhone 5C : A much affordable iPhone for its fans.

Just like Samsung, HTC ,Sony and other smartphone manufacturers,Apple has also decided to launch a much a lower priced version of its iPhone 5 smartphone.As of now,if the rumors are to be believed the phone is expecting a mid-September launch. Even though there have been no official announcements from the Apple end, the Apple's online community is filled with leaked pictures and rumored reports regarding the 5C launch.
  
The leaked photos show the white plastic device with Apple's iOS 7 running up front. There are also a couple of pictures of a dummy iPhone 5C wearing a bumper case - the dummy is supposed to keep the seat of the real device in the retailer's store warm until the real-deal gets there.

We'll have to wait and see as this would be an unexpected step from Apple - first by releasing two iPhone's, second by making a dedicated cheaper iPhone (instead of discounting its previous flagship) and third by going back to its plastic roots (the iPhone 3G and 3GS spring to mind).

Apple iWatch or Samsung Galaxy Gear

First smartphones then tablets and now smart watches, Apple and Samsung have always been arch nemesis.Samsung has recently announced that it will launch its smart-watch Galaxy Gear in September at the same time Apple has started registering trademarks for the brand iWatch in various countries.Since then the speculations are high and various concept artists have released all the possible designs they could imagine,storming their brains.From flexible display to transparent dials,all the random bizarre ideas have surfaced within few hours of announcement.


But the main question that remains is,Will these watches be stand alone devices or have to be integrated with our smartphones and tablets?
Being a  fully functional and highly concise version of a smartphone,these devices are expected to come with a dual mode of integration,where one could use these watches as standalone portable-smartphones-on-the-go or these could be used as a highly integrated accessory to our smartphones or tablets which rest in our pockets or handbags.

The possible features that are expected voice calls,messaging,driving mode gps.The possibilty of a high end camera can be ruled since the device will be mounted to our wrists which would make it obsolete,but still a basic front camera would be a nice addition.

But the recent surveys have given a negative report,only 19% of the smartphone users would go for a smart watch,still nothing can be said beforehand. As of now this device look a handy new addition to the smartphone era.which could give a new dimension to the modern communication trends.
