BOLT: INSTAGRAM's SNAPCHAT APP

 

BOLT

                   Instagram has released quietly an snapchat like app. The new "one-tap" messaging app, named as  Bolt, for iOS and Android. The app lets you quickly send a photo (or video) to a friend, which then disappears once it's been read. Tap on a friend's face to send a photo instantly, or long-press on their face to send a video. Shake your phone to undo an accidental Bolt.

                   Bolt, like Taptalk, only lets you send messages to one person at a time, which makes it most useful for sending quick photos or videos to a small number of people. The favorites bar at the bottom of Bolt only holds four friends, after all, though you can add up to 20, a list of which you can access with a swipe.There's a catch , Bolt is for now only available in New Zealand, Singapore, and South Africa.

 

           

                      Instagram still operates largely as an independent company within Facebook, we're told, making its own decisions on most everything. Bolt, for example, includes no Facebook log-in. To find friends, you have to sync phone numbers from your contact list, like with Snapchat or WhatsApp. So, I think Bolt addresses a desire within Instagram to create a sharing tool that's fast and casual. 

"Our tradition is that we look at a space and create a super simple, pretty experience to fit it."

Instagram doesn't seem to have any qualms about imitating any of the apps that inspired it. "When Instagram itself launched four years ago, we weren't the first photo filter app," said a spokesman. "Our tradition is that we look at a space and create a super simple, pretty experience to fit it."

         

It seems that before Bolt has even made its way to the rest of world , it's already finding itself in a heap of drama. The drama ultimately won't matter, however, if Bolt is genuinely useful to millions of people. And Instagram certainly hopes it will be. "This isn't a side project," said the Instagram spokesperson. "We are totally behind this thing."

        
              This is great news for consumers as there's a healthy competition between social giants . Creating most awesome users for the consumers and greater services.This app will gain momentum but as the world is changing day by day the whole situations.On day the app is on a hype the next time it is outdated. The Social media is changing with a great pace and people do need change anyway.Bolt is a great app just by looking at screenshots,but it will have to expand and let the future decide. 

WILL THIS BEAT EVERY OTHER APP ??

MOTO X+1 : Will this be the next Flagship ???

MOTO X+1 : LEAKED

      Mototrola X+1 is now getting quite a buzz and tweeting after some leaked images by a website. We all have  been hearing rumors and seeing all the rumors of a new Motorola flagship for the past few months. The Moto X was released in August 2013, which was a great success for the company.
After that company has not made a flagship phone.It is about time for a flagship phone for the company.The images seen below are quite resemblence of Moto X but can be though of it's next successor.

The photos show a device very similar to the current Moto X in shape and layout, but the silver-colored segmented ring around the phone's sides is made of aluminum, though the metal build doesn't extend to the front or back. The phone is claiming  to have a 5.1-inch screen with no capacitive buttons, which roughly matches various reports, along with a loudspeaker beneath the screen and opposite the earpiece in the style of the Moto E. . The two white dots on either side of the circular camera module are claimed to be dual LED flashes. Like the Moto X, there is no MicroSD card slot.

                The rest of the phone is typical of Motorola's current design language, including the right-side controls and the top-mounted headphone jack.Other rumors  claiming  that the X+1 will use a 1080p screen, a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of standard storage, a 2900mAh battery, and 12MP/5MP cameras on the back and front, respectively.

Given that Motorola eventually released the Moto X on all four of the major US carriers, plus Canada, some European countries, India, and Brazil, it's a safe bet that they intend to make the next flagship release count. Considering the timing of this leak, it's unlikely that Motorola's new parent company Lenovo had any real input on the device's core design.
 

                   It's a compelling leak, and at this point it's more likely than not that this is the genuine article.Still we believe that this flagship from he phone will be interesting .Like the Moto E and Moto G the level of expectition by Motorola has become more and even more after launch of Moto 360.
