Bubble Gum or Candy? Nope,that's iPhone 5C.

Quoting in Joker's words " iPhones become mindlessly pricey , no one bats an eye....suddenly they become cheaper and everybody loses their minds."

As revealed by Widgetiser on Aug 24th ,the leaks gave the true design of iPhone 5C.

Cheap is never meant for apple,but iPhone 5C is.Ironic but true.Giving rest to all the speculations,Apple unveiled the much talked about iPhone.But is it really that cheap or is it just a new strategy to get back the share of market,that Apple has lost to Samsung.

As reported by Apple, 5C is the phone that has been launched for the countries where people can't afford spending a chunk of their incomes on buying a expensive phones.

Keeping all the statements aside,the main focus is now on the question that....What is Apple going to give us at a price tag of $99?

Cheers,'cuz the answer is not at all disappointing.5C does quite well in an hands on review, And to all those Apple enthusiasts who would love to have a colorful iPhone,its time to rejoice. The iPhone 5C features an all-new polycarbonate casing, with a design that's hewn from a single block of plastic with a steel cage thrust in there to help stability and improve antenna performance.Apple is offering colorful cases for this colorfil iPhone,available in all colors,you could customize your 5C as according to your choice,but that's going to cost you a lot of extra bucks,that hurts.

However beyond that we're really seeing a re-badged iPhone 5.The CPU is an decent A6 chip, the screen is a 4-inch Retina display and the internal storage options are the standard 16GB and 32GB choices.

Replacing its predeccsor,the phone is much silmilar to original iPhone5.So these might be a deal breaker for all the iPhone 5 fans,since it will be out of racks in few days.But 5C and 5 are almost silmilar phones,the only difference being the price and the color.This works for the advantage of 5C,as it is much cheaper and colorful indeed.

5S and 5C,both the devices come with a preinstalled  iOS7 , giving them altogether a newer look.In the nutshell,Apple Inc. is now just not aimed at the elite class,but is also interested is its other fan following,who may not be capable of spending tons on an iPhone.

Eventhough this iPhone is cheap,but at the same time it is still quite costlier than some other smartphones,like HTC ONE or Galaxy S4.So to wrap things up,5C is not a cheap phone at all,It might be considered as a cheaper version of iPhone,but in absolute terms 99$ for 16GB and 199$ for 32 GB are sure to dig a hole in your pocket.

Out now : Lighter,Better and Smarter,SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III

So one more addition to the long list of Galaxy devices.And this time a big one,NOTE III.It seems Samsung has played its cards right just before the arrival of the much awaited iPhone 5S and the cheaper iPhone 5C. But this is not just about the game,the new NOTE is better in lot many aspects.

THE OUTSIDE:

The new Galaxy device is bigger but lighter.This is another aspect that will hit the minds of the consumers.Samsung has slimmed the device a little and its 5'7in screen shines brightly which is bit wider than the previous note device.Around back is a 13-megapixel camera with LED flash. The rear of the phone is decorated by a artificial leather design replacing its much criticized plasticy back.

THE INSIDE:

NOTE III is powered by a 2.3Ghz-quad core heart,and a whopping 3GB RAM,no kidding and comes with a 32GB internal memory,extendable up to 64GB. The powerhouse is a 3,200mAh battery,to ensure the survival of your big boy on a long day at work.

MULTITASKING

Looks as if,Samsung has put a lot of effort in the area of multitasking in the new NOTE. And the result is utterly smooth interface of multitasking abilities.Selected apps can be called up to quickly float over your main app then be just as quickly pushed to one side, waiting to be called on again. The clever part is, you can have as many of these quick apps open or minimized at one time as you'd like.

These quick access apps include the calculator, phone dialer, and the YouTube app. Grab your S Pen, call up the Air Command wheel, and select the option to call up one of the quick apps. Then draw a box or just a line where you want the app to appear -- any size, and anywhere on the screen.

 

S PEN:

As soon as you unsheathe the S Pen from its cubbyhole, the Air Command wheel appears on screen, floating on top of the app or home screen. You can also call it up beholding the S Pen hovering over the screen and clicking the button on the side of the stylus. The onscreen wheel includes icons that give you shortcuts to assorted clever features that use the stylus. 

With the smart phones getting mindlessly bigger in size and weight,NOTE III is a perfect example,how a phablet of this size and weight can be utilized to its full potential. With this launch , the NOTE brand comes back.....Bigger , Better and Smarter.

ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH : 'Cuz adequate is for losers.

WRAITH,the name is all you need to get your adrenaline pumping. Rolls-Royce announced the Wraith as a model that would "indulge a passion for innovation, engineering and adventure."Swear by the words,WRAITH is a beast in an Armani suit. 

 

Where the name seduces and the looks impose, the power train obliterates. Hailed as the most powerful Rolls ever,the engine is a hefty 6.6L V12 arranged powerhouse.No kidding but the Wraith is meant to be driven on race tracks,feels as odd as driving a Ferrari on a dirt track but its true.

This baby is capable of clocking 62mph(100kmph) in just 4.6 sec,quick enough to expect from a car this big,IMPRESSIVE.With a top speed of 155mph(249kmph) the car literally cuts you out of the atmosphere while cruising at this rocketing speed. 

Inside, there are 1,340 fibre optic lamps hand-woven into the headlining - mimicking a "starry night sky" - together with coach doors with proper wood and much leather. It looks stunning, and feels very non-automotive. There's space for four, and while headroom in the back is decent, access is a little difficult.

Not that ingress matters much, not when you've got 624 horses to play with and that body to ride on,price doesn't matter.

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.

The new Nexus 7 will also be the first device to get the 4.3 version of its Android software.

Display

The new Nexus 7 tablet boasts a higher-definition 17.5-centimetre display screen promising a retina-quality display. Nexus 7 features a higher pixel density (323 pixels per inch vis-à-vis 216 on the old model).

Price

A model with 16 gigabytes of storage will sell for USD 229, a USD 30 per increase from the original Nexus 7 released a year ago. A 32-gigabyte version of the Nexus 7 for USD 269, a USD 20 price increase.

Storage

Google Nexus 7 has no microSD support, which means that you will have to make do with the existing model. Incase your demand for space storage is more; you have no other option than to buy the higher-end model.

Camera and music

The device sports a 5-megapixel rear camera though it is being widely said that the camera is not certainly the best in range.
