HTC ONE M8 !!!

HTC ONE (M8)

 

                        
The HTC One was one of  the best smartphone of last year.The phone won critical acclaim last year, yet it barely made a dent in the marketplace. It's overshadowed by Apple's iPhones and Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones.An updated One expands on some of the features that made it notable. The new One has a metal design like last year's model, but it feels smoother and more comfortable in the hand. The back edges are more curved and feel's great. HTC also turns its hub for personalized content, the BlinkFeed as they call it can turn into a companion rather than an unwelcomed guest.
 
                         The One still has some flaws - namely, its 4 megapixel rear camera.Which should be said that is not as much higher pixel count than it's contenders.But must say that 4 mp is much lower camera spec for an high end smartphone. Though HTC is saying that ,"megapixel count is just one factor in what makes a good camera. It prefers making the size of individual pixel sensors larger to absorb more light for night and indoor shots".
                           Compared with last year's model, though, the One's camera is much better, even at 4 megapixels. Colors look washed out in day shots I took with last year's camera. The new model seems to have fixed that. The new version also has a 5 megapixel front camera for selfies.

HTC also has improved its camera software
Thanks to a second lens on the rear, the phone now captures with a much more  depth information. That lets you decide later through software whether to focus on the foreground or the background while blurring everything else.The One offers plenty of manual settings, as other phones are starting to offer. The One goes further in letting you save frequently used combinations of settings. If you take a lot of action shots indoors, for instance, you can save a combo that uses a fast shutter speed to reduce blurring from motion, while adjusting the white balance to filter out the hint of color from the ceiling lights.
The Coolest Feature:
You can pause video recordings!!! Really it does it! Most phones only let you stop recording, so you have to stitch together several files with software to get the same effect.
As for watching video, sound quality is wonderful, thanks to the phone's two front-facing speakers. If
             The One also has some useful shortcuts when the screen is off. Swipe from the left to get the BlinkFeed content hub, and swipe from the right to get your regular home screen. Press the volume button to get the camera and press it again to take the shot. Double tap to get the lock screen.
With an optional Dot View case, you can see the time and the weather through the small holes, or dots, on the case's front, flip cover. You can answer and reject incoming call by swiping on the case, without needing to flip over the cover.
              Though it is an upgrade from the original HTC One ,but it also will come with a new version of Sense.HTC sense 6.0 comes with it and is far more better than its pred.decessor it's more cleaner and better GUI.It's far more crisp and clean and has some good features than the plain vanilla android.

THE MOTO WATCH!!!

 MOTO 360

 

                           Motorola revealed more details about its exciting Moto 360 smartwatch, one of the first devices that will be powered by Google’s recently released Android Wear OS for wearable gadgets. Designer Jim Wicks explained some of Moto 360’s features, without going into too much detail about them. The most exciting feature mentioned so far may be the device’s battery
                        The Moto 360 will not have a microUSB port for charging the battery, and Motorola would not say how it plans to charge the device.

                     Motorola chose a circular design for the Moto 360 because that’s the most popular watch design, with 80% of all watches sold globally using a circular watchface. Moreover, the Moto 360 is supposed to appeal to both sexes, and thanks to its design it’s supposed to work similarly whether it’s worn on the right or left arm.
                        The Moto 360 will have interchangeable straps, it’ll be water-resistant and won’t pack a camera. The device will connect to any Android device that runs Android 4.3 or later – likely because it will pair with them over Bluetooth LE technology – and will heavily rely on the voice-based features supported by Android Wear.

                        Speaking about  it would be amazing to see  smart-watch develop like these and this is going to be really amazing.,to see where android wear and the Moto 360 takes us through the wearable technologies.

THE FUTURE OF ANDROID SMARTWATCHES !!

 ANDROID  WEAR 

  

                      Google is officially getting into wearables. The company has announced Android Wear, a version of the operating system designed specifically for wearable devices. The company has released two videos that show off what the watch interface and it's very impressive.

                           There are several key features that have been announced. Of course, fitness is a key component. Google says that you'll be able to get "real-time speed, distance and time information on your wrist for your run, cycle or walk." This means Google Maps will be built in so that you'll be able to get directions at your wrist.

                            We also got to know that company will also be using Google Now in the watches. Automatic, passive reminders will be sent to users via their smartwatch. The watches will also connect with Android smartphones so that you'll be able to get all the notifications that you want from whatever apps you have installed on your phone.

                             You'll also be able to say "OK Google" to perform voice searches. Lastly, the company is teasing with multi-screen functionality .Fossil and other "fashion brands" will apparently offer watches using the operating system later this year. The company says it is also already working with current Android partners like Asus, HTC, LG, Motorola, and Samsung on wearables. LG's first device with Android Wear will be called the G Watch.It is also been confirmed that the circular watch is Motorola  designed and named Moto 360.It is also the first watch to be shipped with android wear and later the lg g watch will be shipped.

MOTO 360 :

LG G WATCH :

 

                       Google isn't offering specific details on when we can expect to see more about Android Wear — or what other devices will use the system in the future — but a preview of the operating system is available now so that developers can make sure their app notifications will work with Wear.

We expect to hear much, much more about Android Wear at Google I/O from June 25th to 26th.We are not blogging about the LG G watch as there is insufficient info about it.

As there is not so much information ,I will not say about it but ask you 

WHAT FEATURES DO YOU WANT IN ANDROID WEAR??

And we will keep you updated with features and other functionality of android wear.Please comment below .

THE SELFIE PHONE !!

   OPPO N1 

Over the last year's we have seen a variety of android phones,so why is this different and why not show reputated brands.We will they , but for now it's exceptional than any other phones.The company choose to enter the high end device that aims to compete with Samsung Galaxy S5 and the lumia 1520.Let's take a look at what it's got.We will see the key aspects for this phone.

Just One Camera, Not Two:

            It is normally the rule of most manufactures that the rear camera is far more higher pixel and resolution than the front facing camera. But oppo has redefined it completely.The most killer feature of this phone is that the rear camera flips into front facing,sounds weoird but it's actually true.The camera given is a 13MP and can rotate around its axis.The picture quality is far decent and the details are amazing.

The OS :

      Without a doubt the plain vanilla android is the best.But companies have been doing something more and new to the OS like the HTC sense which has been quite good. The Oppo N1 has a done tweaks and calls it the color OS.It's very intuitive and uses gestures far better than any OS.The music and video player are also fun and easier to use.

Just Gesture It :

       Everyone has tried to make the gesture work , but could not live up to the mark.Oppo has cracked the best way to do it.For example you can scribble C on the screen and it activates the camera. A simple 3-finger scroll up saved a screenshot.

This One has a REMOTE Also :

         The device comes with a small device called O-click .The small white disk works like a remote that connects the phone over Bluetooth 4.0. It also alerts you if you move too far away from phone and call. In addition it let's you track the phone when you can't find it.
It also is very handy to use and can be worn as a band also.

Built like a Tank :

          At a time when we end up the word "plasticky" in every android phone review.Oppo shows us the good and built quality is not something to be compromised on. You start feeling confident the moment you hold the device, only sole has such quality. It probably reminds us of the HTC one and this is done a step ahead of it.

MY WORD : 
               Though it is a good spoec and a competition to high end phone's , but at a price tag of rs 39,999. it seems to be a heck of a deal.But as it is a new company and you might be in limbo if something happens to the phone is the only cause of worry .

QUESTION : DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS WOULD CHANGE THE CAMERA CONCEPT ??

A SMARTER WIFI

 WIFI SENSE !!

                                                



Along with the cortana another leak has come out things that Windows Phone 8.1 brings along,  a much smarter “Wifi Sense” feature, which like Data-Sense, helps windows phone users with their internet connection.


                    Wifi-Sense allows users on WP8.1 to join WiFi Hotspots without having to manually accept any terms & conditions or enter any personal details like their Name, or Phone Number, etc. This is mostly useful incase of public Wifi, where some brands, like many  major cafe's, require you to accept their terms before joining.
                 Windows Phone 8.1 will also be able to share your Wifi network information with your Outlook, Skype, or Facebook contacts so that they can access the internet connection without having to share the password with them.








                This is a great feature a small feature but a useful one , for common people as for free hotspots is available at most cafe's but you have to go through a lot of hastle for accessing the "free feature" , they have to offer.Still it's a leak not sure about it but it's a good feature,as no OS has it inbuilt.

AMAZING RING !!!!

FIN

                          WHAT A DEVICE, REALLY WHAT A DEVICE!!!!!!. Now from smart watch to smart rings,time is changing as quick as we know it.The endless wave of wearable gadgets continues to wash ashore some pretty intriguing ideas. Fin, a thumb ring designed to enable hand gesture control of smart devices, aims to not only offer improved connectivity, but to alter the way we interact with our favorite gadgets.
                       Fin is packed with a ton of sensors , to enable it to mark the coordinates in the 3D image of the palm . In addition, it can also distinguish between each segment of your fingers and convert your palm into a numerical keypad. Gestures are then translated into commands for various devices that are transmitted via Bluetooth 4.0.


                       The potential of this device is far more and varied .Examples provided by the company include adjusting the volume or changing channels on a any device by swiping your thumb in a particular direction, acting as a game controller, or controlling your smart phone while driving.
                     With iOS, Android and Windows phone compatibility, the company is releasing an SDK (Software Development Kit) in the hopes of providing a foundation for developers to explore their own ideas for how Fin could be used.
 
                      The ring sports an LED indicator and runs on a lithium-iron battery that can be recharged through a Micro-USB port, with each charge providing a month of use, according to the company. It also claims the ring is dust proof and waterproof, with a rating of IP67.

                       The company has developed a second prototype and has turned to Indiegogo to crowd-fund the remainder of its testing, finalize the design and get Fin into commercial production.
 However the products remind me of futures products of wearable gesture controls just like Pranav Mistry's SixthSense.And however this shows India's  true potential as an entrepreneur and gives the young minds of India a better opportunity . This is also showing the future of gesture control.

HERE COME'S COMPETITION TO SIRI & GOOGLE NOW

  CORTANA

                CORTANA a voice assistant  service on windows phone 8 has been leaked by a website.it is showing a great abilities of  both siri and google now services .It would be a great deal for windows phone users .
               Cortana aims to bring some intelligence to the Windows Phone platform, and requires that you be signed in to a Microsoft account. Rather than the Google Now approach where Now quietly displays cards for information that it thinks will be pertinent to you at some point in time, it appears that Cortana works on a question-and-answer approach; it will only surface information when you have asked it to do so. There appears to be 2 ways to activate Cortana; either from the Start Screen or via a press of the hardware Search button. Interestingly, it also seems that Microsoft has gone ahead with the Cortana brand name.



               Microsoft explains it as “a personal assistant on your phone, ready to help with reminders, suggestions, tasks and lots more”. We also note that Cortana makes use of location, contacts and email information, voice input, text messages, browser history and search history in order to learn about the user’s habits. It asks for the user’s name as well as some information on the user’s hobbies centred around a few questions:

• What are a couple of the most enjoyable parts of your everyday evenings?
• When you think about food, what’s most important to you these days?
• What are two of your main motivations for going out to an event/activity?
• When you want to catch up on what’s going on in the world, which section do you go to first?
• Under the question of what are the most enjoyable parts of one’s evenings, Cortana presents these options:
  
• Cooking something
• Going out
• Hanging out with friends
• Spending time with family
• I go to work at night
• Watching something
• Being online
• Reading
• Hanging out with my significant other
• Exercising
• Taking my dog for walk   
• Listening to music

               I think this a great for windorvice iws and its users as we will see the WP has grown emerge in the last two years.This would increase the users as well as their app store.This would be a great service if this leak is real.Please give your views.

NOW J.A.R.V.I.S IS ALIVE!!!!!!

            J.A.R.V.I.S  A   SUPERCOMP

               Now J.A.R.V.I.S. has come to life .Ever wonder the IronMan  film with jarvis super computer.How would it be to have a computer like this. U just command it and it does the rest for you.It is like your best buddie ,wouldn't it be awesome?
                      Taking a cue from Iron Man, two young Indian technologists want to play Tony Stark and ask their computer to do stuff for them. To make things easy, their intelligent assistant is also called Jarvis after Stark’s virtual butler.
                   Delhi-based Chirag Dewan and Jaipur’s Himanshu Vaishnav, both computer science students in their early twenties, think their idea of artificial intelligence can change computing for ever. While start-ups the world over are working on solutions that make input methods for computing more natural, Jarvis Corp is working on an entire operating system that is fully automated and learns as it goes. Of course, it will interact with the user with the help of voice and gestures along with traditional input methods.
                       

                             From the origin of operating systems, everyone has been following the same thing. All of them have the same internal structure with a similar skin and flesh. With each new version of an operating system we are just seeing a new set of features being added to this legacy,” says Dewan, on a Skype call from the US. He says Jarvis is a totally redesigned OS. “We are not changing the paradigm, but we will change user experience for sure.”
                               At the core of Jarvis is artificial intelligence, which the duo think can be included in the system as a component. “So, the next time it performs even better. With the inclusion of unconventional inputs as the standard, you will communicate with the system as if it is an individual,” adds Vaishnav.
                                  Now you know that it is called Jarvis. But if you thought this would be an ideal solution for a mobile operating system, where users are already using voice and gestures for input, you are mistaken. Jarvis Corp, strangely does not want to tackle what for everyone is the fastest growing computing segment. They want to start with the traditional desktops and maybe other connected devices and home automation. But not smartphones. That would be too easy.
                                    “We are a start-up and would like to see how it works before scaling up,” adds Dewan, who is the CFO of the company which now has 10 people working on the project in multiple countries. The two, who met on the Internet due to their shared passion for artificial intelligence, scouted for like-minded talent by launching a website seeking applications. They got 3,000 bios, of which they have roped in eight so far
                                               
                                      But don’t expect Jarvis to be running your computer, or your lives, in the near future. The company has set a deadline of 18 months from the time they get the first level of funding to come out with the first version. During this period they plan to make the SDK available to developers so that they can make applications to run on the new OS.
Where you will run Jarvis seems to be the question that might illicit no answers soon. The company wants to create its own hardware for the OS. It could be a smartwatch or a desktop, but that is not going to be an easy task, especially since the two at the top are adamant on doing everything on their own. “We are not that keen to talk to the big players. We are not doing what they are doing, they are working on methods,” says Vaishnav, the CTO.
                                    They also have no idea of starting with apps or programmes for people to see what they are up to. “If we come up in parts, it defeats the purpose of what we are trying to do. Our main objective is to give the user a companion so that he does not think he is using a machine,” explains Vaishnav.
                                The company declined a $2 million angel investment. “Samsung approached us to make a mobile version first, but we declined that too as we didn’t want to lose focus on what we are planning to do. I know it sounds stupid that a startup is declining offers, but we would like to choose partners carefully,” says Dewan. They duo are meeting other investors and VCs too. But it remains to be seen if any of the investors will impress them.

SAMSUNG FIT

SAMSUNG  GALAXY FIT

SAMSUNG FIT ,IS IT REALLY FIT????????

LET'S SEE.........

                         In addition to the two new Samsung Gear smartwatches we got saw a few days ago, Samsung is actually showing us something new in its wearable line: The Gear Fit, a combination smartwatch and fitness tracker. It's svelte and slick—and potentially the gorgeous functional wearable we've been waiting for. Updated with hands on below

                        The new Samsung wearable has a curved Super AMOLED touchscreen display measuring 1.84 inches. Its dimensions are 23.4 x 57.4 x 11.95 mm, and it weighs just 27 grams—half the weight of Samsung's lightest smartwatch to date, the Gear Neo.

                  The Gear Fit replicated many of the functions of the Gear we've already seen, including the capability to receive incoming calls, emails, SMS messages, alarms, as well as notifications from S-planner.

 

                    

               Besides the form factor change, it's not immediately apparent what sets the Gear Fit apart from its brethren. It's got built in Gyrocope, accelerometer, and heart rate monitor. The Gear Fit can measure a host of fitness metrics, including pedometer, exercise level, heart rate, sleep time, as well as a stopwatch and timer.

              The Gear Fit has a 210 mAh battery which Samsung says will get it 3-4 days of battery life.

All in all, it looks like a very interesting device that's sleeker than the clunk Galaxy Gear/ Gear 2 that came before. Sadly, it appears it only works with Galaxy devices.

Update: Hands-On

                  Here's the skinny. Most fitness trackers don't have heart rate monitors yet, which makes them much less of a compelling buy. So it's exciting that the Gear Fit has one. Provided that it works. We got to spend a few minutes with it at the New York press event, and it took it a couple tries to actually give a reading. We had to make sure it was on very tightly before it worked.

The Gear Fit is pretty much a pared down version of Galaxy Gear. It's smaller and lighter and much more comfortable. But that's not to say that it doesn't have any heft. For it to have an LCD screen it has to have some.

                 The interface is pretty basic and easy to use. There's a stop watch, a timer, a section where you can track your activity, a watch, and a music player. It's straightforward and easy to use. But it's not the most stylish piece of wrist wear, although that's not at all surprising considering the existence of Galaxy Gear in the first place.

Though the stylish looking features of the fit . the perfectly balanced gadget it packs a lot of features .The question still arises  with fit is it really worth it???

                      Though I thought it would have been great if the gear 2 and fit were merged and samsung would reveal an outsanting product combining the 2 products.Its still beginning but fit is a good product.

SAMSUNG GALAXY GEAR 2

                             GEAR 2!!

               As expected, Samsung has released its follow-up to last fall's Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The biggest change? That it's left Android in favor of a Tizen, an open source operating system that gives Samsung a battery boost and, more importantly, a sense of independence.
            There are some internal upgrades here worth talking about as well; the Gear 2 gets a boost to a 1GHz dual-core processor instead of the 800MHz guts it sported before, and will be compatible with "dozens" of Samsung smartphones and tablets from launch instead of the limited selection the original Gear was limited to. It also adds a standalone music player and a heart rate monitor, making it a more capable workout companion than it had been. And a shift in camera placement means you can swap out three band colors—black, brown, and orange—which seems to be the last of the perks. After all, it's barely been five months since the original.
 
                The Gear 2 will also be joined by the Gear 2 Neo, a device that appears to be essentially the same except that it's lighter, has no camera, and offers a grey strap instead of a brown one for some reason. It will also presumably be cheaper, though it's not clear yet by how much. Or, for that matter, how much the Gear 2 will cost; hopefully less than intimidating $300 price tag that burdened its predecessor.
                    All of which is to say that there's probably not much here to draw you to the Gear if you weren't before, which makes sense given how close the sequel comes to the original. If anything, at least on paper the move to Tizen seems to benefit Samsung more than its customers, a notice to Google that it's willing to flirt with other viable hookups. It doesn't need to be a Galaxy to take on the world.

                   That said, it'll be interesting to see if Tizen can at the very least make the Gear a bit zippier than its initial iteration had been. Its problems ran deeper than software alone, and it's hard to imagine that if Android apps felt unfinished that their Tizen counterparts will fare much better, but the extra day or two of battery life that Samsung is promising (2-3 days on one charge now), combined with a software experience that doesn't constantly trip over itself, would go a long way.      

                   Although given the choice between broad Android compatability and Tizen, well...

Meanwhile the Gear 2 Neo, which ditches the camera that no one wanted in the first place, and drops ounces that were decidedly cumbersome, could end up being the smartwatch Samsung should have started with in the first place.

                   We'll know more once we've had a chance to play with the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo ourselves, of course. But for now, two things are clear. First, the original Galaxy Gear felt like a beta product because, it turns out, it was. Second, and even more importantly? Samsung's ready to imagine a world without Android on a wider scale than it ever has before. And how that particular experiment goes could have repercussions that go far beyond any two smartwatches.

                    

                      Although the gear 2 has changed a lot from its preceder .But also now supporting a variety of services and a great number of functions.Despite all this is it really worth it?  .
The same question repeats itself              Do you need it right now?????

THE Z2 IS OUT!!!!!!!!!

THE  Z2

             Sony's flagships have struggled to find success, but that hasn't stopped the company from quickly iterating its smartphone line in order to keep up with its rivals. With the Xperia Z  now over a year old and the Xperia Z1 staring its six month birthday in the face, MWC comes at the perfect time for Sony to unveil its latest flagship: the Xperia Z2. It certainly borrows from its predecessor in terms of looks and features but the company's breathed some extra life into the phone to set it apart from its older siblings. What's it added, you ask?

                            The end result is a handset that has been upgraded in nearly all departments. While the Xperia Z 2 slightly taller and thinner than the Z1, you'd be hard pressed to identify it in a lineup alongside its younger sibling.
                            One area that Sony has improved is the display. In an effort to further optimize its screens, Sony's Mobile teams worked with its TV engineers to outfit the Z2's Triluminos IPS screen with BRAVIA technology. Live Color LED is one example of that, generating brighter and more consistent color using a mix of red and green phosphor as well as blue LEDs.

                             Sony's strong optics make for impressive photos, but its desire to futureproof its handsets has led to   developments in the video department too. The Z2 includes 4K video recording at 30 frames per second with SteadyShot image stabilisation, but videos will only play back in full HD on its 1080p screen. However, you'll still be able to zoom in and inspect the stunning detail of your recordings on the device.
                             If specs aren't enough, Sony's also developed made some camera tweaks to get even more mileage out of it. There's Timeshift video, which'll let you shoot and quickly edit slow motion video at 120 frames per second, better background defocus and augmented reality options are now available for video. Unfortunately, Sony's limited Timeshift videos to 720p at 120 frames per second, putting a dampener on those plans to record a slo-mo of yourself on a slip-and-slide in high(er)-definition.
                                 A strong entertainment focus helps set Sony apart from many of its rivals, and it's looking to push that angle a little more with the Xperia Z2. If the device ticks all of the right boxes and you find yourself heading out on launch day to grab Sony's latest flagship, it'll bundle a pair of MDR NC31EM headphones in the box as a little thank you. They'll do a pretty great job at isolating ambient noise on their own but with a little help from the Z2's built-in digital noise cancelling algorithms, you'll be oblivious to most of the great outdoors.




                            Sony tells us that for the Xperia Z2 "the difference is in the experience," but given the spec bumps across the board, it's certainly trying to appeal to consumers who want industry-leading hardware and software. The phone is light but sturdy, fast and responsive, and continues to utilize all of the best features from other Z-series smartphones. There's plenty to like about Sony's new flagship, we just hope that stays true when it our hands on it for a full review. It's set to launch globally from March, so we won't have long to wait.
                                    Still the dates are not sure of the launch .Full specs of the Z2 are given below.
Despite all the Z2 is an overall good phone which is well in all around aspects. Build quality is far superior .But at the end it is the same design and just tweaks of the previous generation.It's better if the prices come out soon so all could is it worth every penny of ours.I think still the UI needed an uplift.The UI has been a major disadvantage to sony in terms of the Xperia series.Still hoping the company will notice this.So it's up to you.

DO YOU THINK THE Z2 IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY??????

THE X's ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                THE X's ARE HERE!!!!



                             


A couple of days ago, Nokia launched its X-series at the Mobile World Congress 2014 and stole Samsung's limelight even as the South Korean major unveiled the Galaxy S5, the latest in its flagship S-series phones.
                         But is the Nokia X-series actually that good a phone as it is being presented? Not really. Though not touted as a giant killer but as a phone for the masses, the Nokia X series Windroid phones leave much to be desired.
                          The Nokia X-series phones come with the built in Android OS, v4.1.2 (Jellybean), but it deviates from the typical Android UI to a more Windows-based UI.
Though it is powered by the Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play processor, the phone's internal storage - 4GB for all three models of Nokia's X-series - and the RAM - 512MB for the Nokia X and 768MB for the X+ and the XL - leave much to be desired in a day and age when most companies are offering Android phones with nothing less than 1GB RAM at similar prices and with a higher internal storage.
                          Add to that the fact that both the Nokia X as well as the X+ comes with a 1500mAh battery and the Nokia XL comes with the 2000mAh battery. Considering the market it is entering, one would have expected Nokia to bring in a phone with a better battery, after all, Nokia phones, at one time, were known for their battery life as well as sturdiness.
Another factor that goes against the Nokia X and the X+ is that both these phones do not have secondary cameras and come with the 2009-10 era 3.15MP primary camera. The Nokia XL has a somewhat better primary camera pegged at 5MP with the secondary camera slotted at 1.3MP. Camera-wise, Nokia's X series isn't actually the phone one would look to buy even though they are affordable phones

 
.
                          One more thing that goes against Nokia is the fact that its X-series phones are not actually pure android phones in the sense that they do not come prebundled with the Google applications such as Gmail, Google Maps etc and instead have been replaced by Microsoft Exchange and Here Now. The phones are also not likely to be supported by Google Play store as Nokia is said to be creating its own store of applications for its android phones.
However, considering the price range and the specifications, this is a fight that Nokia is likely to lose from the start since Nokia has itself launched Windows phones with better specifications for a tad higher price.
                         Prospective customers who have gone through the reviews and the specifications of all three phones have already started wondering why Nokia would launch a set of phones that would support specifications that are lower than what the market norm is these days.
A primary demand of the customers is that the phone be launched with the latest Android OS, Kitat, at least a 1GB RAM, a 13-MP camera and an HD Display (the X series comes with an LCD capacitive touch display, another negative).
                         Though affordable, what remains to be seen is if Nokia's X series will revive the brand's floundering fortunes or will the half-baked Windroid phones make a dent in markets such India that are already saturated with Android phones.

1..2..3.. WHATSAPP SOLD TO FACEBOOK


 


                    OMG!!  Whatsapp what happened?so whatsapp ythe all time favourite messaging app 
is been sold to none other than Facebook. It was bought by the giant for a whooping 19 BILLION $ .The transaction involves $4 billion in cash, $12 billion in stock and $3 billion in restricted stock that vests over several years.This far the biggest  deal ever done by any company.
                       
                          Founded by a Ukrainian immigrant who dropped out of college, Jan Koum, and a Stanford alumnus, Brian Acton, WhatsApp is a Silicon Valley startup fairy tale, rocketing to 450 million users in five years and adding another million daily.
                                         Zuckerberg said that," it would help them towards growth and mobile (smartphone ) in future".
                  
PRICE TAG
                             Seems to me that it was overpriced as facebook bought instagram for 1 billion$
and even Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten just bought messaging service Viber for $3 per user, in a $900 million deal. 

                   SO WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS FACEBOOK JUST PAID TOO MUCH????
