iPad Air : FeatherLite

Apple Inc. known for its sleek looks and distinctive monolithic design,has rolled out yet another milestone in its iPad range i.e. the iPad Air.Hailed as the slimmest and lightest Apple,the built is unbelievably solid due the aluminum body.Resembling its younger sibling( iPad Mini),Air is just 1.9in larger than Mini.Air is quite thin at just 7.5mm however; the Sony Xperia Tablet Z remains the thinnest at a ridiculous 6.9mm.

On the Outside

iPad Air shines a 9.7in display,ofcourse it is Apple 's much hyped Retina Display,with a 2048x1536 resolution and over 3.1 million pixels.The dimensions are 240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm and it weighs 469g.

Camera and Video

Air comes with a 5MP main camera,decent yet unsatisfying.Capable of 1080p recording serves decent purpose of recording regular vidoes.The front camera is 1.2MP,does a decent job for video calls and Skype.But definitely not for clicking selfies.....LOL.

On the Inside

Air has the A7 chip,64-bit core and M7 motion coprocessor, which is IMPRESSIVE.Gaming,computing or processing ,anything is easy on this tablet machine.

Battery and Power

Air houses a power house of 32.4Wh Li-Ion battery,capable of 10hrs of rigorous usage of WiFi,Gaming and voice calls.The tablet also has some amazing standby time so when not in use, you can literally go days without having to charge it. This is something Android tablets simply cannot offer,definitely a win for Apple.

Air also has an option of an attractive cover case,which not only protects the device but can be used to mount the device at an angle suitable for viewing videos or hands free operation.

Considering the looks of iPad Air and its distinctive style,it might prove to be a sucess,but at the same it has competition from its younger and smaller sibling,iPad Mini which though might be smaller but it is much cheaper than Air.So just extra 1.9in and slimmer depth might not be sufficient enough to explain the extra bucks a consumer needs to pay for iPad Air.So the final word is,this tablet might be a collector souvenir or a choice for an hardcore apple enthusiast,but for a a moderate fan of Apple ,buying Mini would be practical as well as economical.

SONY PS4 : Report

It has been a while since PS4 has been out in the market,breaking sales records and getting crazy attention from the gamers as well as non-gamer community.Dominating the market with record high sales,it has been the major setback for the XBOX One's success and I bet Microsoft still, is having nightmares.Just Kidding.

All major reviews have been head over hells in favor of PS4 and are smitten by this SONY's little kid,which will turn out to be the major player for the company.Already being a strong contender for the Gadget Of The Year,over most of the online websites and forums,PS4 marks the success and advancement of the gaming industry.

Starting from the warehouse of this machine,solid built and a rich glossy finish mark the boundaries of its territory.Bisected in the middle by a denture,it separates the two halves of the external unit,just as a design.Talking about the tech-specs and features,the major positive point to the external unit is that it houses the power box inside itself,ironic to that of XBOX One,which it is external and requires cords and of course space.



The DualShock 4 might look an awful lot like a DualShock 3, but it's far from the same old controller from the past seven years. It's built on a series of tweaks, rather than an overhaul, of the last Sony controller. Even though the new DualShock is even PS3 compatible, a lot has changed from one generation to the next, and mostly for better.

Inside, the PS4 is all business. It has a custom single-chip processor that combines an eight core x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" CPU with a 1.84 teraflop GPU based on AMD's Radeon tech. That's backed by 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a 500GB mechanical hard drive.
Sony claims that the PS4's overall performance is ten times that of the PS3. You can also remove that 500GB drive and replace it with a larger drive, or an SSD for better performance. Sony says these do it yourself upgrades will not void the system's warranty.



Those two USB ports are the PS4's only front facing connections. In the rear you'll find HDMI, Ethernet, a digital optical audio out and a proprietary auxiliary connection for the PlayStation Camera.
For wireless connections, the PS4 uses 802.11 b/g/n for WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 for its wireless DualShock 4 controllers.

Firefox OS for Mobile and Tablets

The latest in-trend development in the field of smart phones is the on-going work on the Mozilla's new brain toy,Firefox OS.Living in a world where the mobile phone market is dominated by the iAmericans and the GalaxyKoreans,its hard to keep a firm foot in this market,even then Mozilla has considered working on this new project.


Considering Nokia's downfall in the recent,which was once a major mobile giant and ruled the market for more than 10years.To a rational person this launch might look like a foolish step,BUT Firefox OS could play the spoilsport for these otherwise mobile giants,if it turns out to be the UBUNTU or RED HAT of the mobile devices #if you get the metaphor.Firefox is a Linux based open source operating system programmed in C++ , Java , CSS and HTML5.

Features:

• The adaptive app search,which is a global as well as the local search .
• The social networks get synced with the contacts,and are easily accessible from the contact list.
• Comes with an inbuilt photo editor.
•  Includes basic features,music radio,messages email etc etc. Nothing as exciting,some normal tids and bits.

The advantage of FirefoxOS is that it is an open source Linux based OS,which  means all the features available on any Linux based operating system gets added to this OS,in addition to this ,the code is freely and openly developed,is available for download from the official Mozilla site.Not only is it a open source software but it is developed by Mozilla team,very well know for its interaction with its customers as well as enthusiasts.


So there would be no harm in getting a hands on to this handy OS,but it success only depends on the fact that how Mozilla plans to shape and develop this software in the near future,because as of now it hardly stands a chance against its rivals,the iOS and Android.
