Prince Of Persia Classic Game Review

Prince Of Persia first came out in 1989 and this mobile game is simply a remake of that game.There have been a few other remakes if this game by Gameloft & Ubisoft and they have been removed and replaced by this one.

Title: Prince of Persia Classic
Developer : Ubisoft
Platform: iOS (iPhone / iPad),Android
Release Date: June 2015(iOS),September 2015(Android)
Size:212MB / 195 MB (iOS),224MB(Android)
Price: $1.99 / $2.99(iOS), $2.99 / Free (trial)(Android)

In this Classic game you are a wanderer known as the prince whose main aim is to save the life of the Sultans daughter from the evil Vizier and regain the lost kingdom.No 3D pleasure for you folks,this purely a 2D game.
Now ,I personally didn't like the game.The controls are partly responsible,I must say.
There is no precise movement You can’t make him start running properly, you can’t make him stop when you want to. Half the time he just ends up running over an edge because he didn’t stop where you thought he would.I hope you can understand the situation.
Climbing up and down is even more frustrating. The Prince’s moves are ridiculously limited, so he can only jump straight up when not moving. You have to line him up perfectly under an edge for him to grab it, not easy when you consider the aforementioned lack of movement accuracy. Climbing down a ledge is similarly frustrating.

And another much more annoying part is the laggy movement.Every action you do is followed by a slow, deliberate animation that makes you feel as if you’re watching the game in slow motion. There is no urgency in the movement and the animations feel lethargic, robbing the game of the energy and making the fairly short levels seem to drag on and on.
You’ll lose in the game many times, and 90% of the time it’s the game’s fault. The checkpoints are also spaced far apart, so if you die you have to go through a whole lot of trouble to get back to where you were, only to die again. You can choose to respawn instantly but that’s something you have to pay for using in-app purchases. Very irritating indeed.

Truly speaking ,I wouldn't recommend this to my readers.Still,those who are on Android can try a free trial.

Microsoft Surface Experience Centers In Australia and Europe

Microsoft plans on opening a large number of Microsoft Surface Experience Centers so that visitors can get a hands-on experience with the Microsoft Surface tablet. They have opened in Australia, Germany, the U.K. and France and centers will open in the U.S. later. A visitor to one of the many Experience Centers in Berlin snapped some pictures and discussed his experience at the place.
Microsoft opens Microsoft Surface Experience Centers in Australia and Europe

The unnamed visitor went to the Experience Center at the Motel One in the Kant Strasse 10, near the Zoological Garden Berlin station. He noticed that there were only two units out in the open for people to use. Guests staying at the Motel One do have the option to rent a Microsoft Surface tablet.

The visitor liked the Microsoft Surface tablet, noting that it was heavier than it looked, although not more so than the competition. He also was pleased to see that the staff knew the difference between the Intel-powered Microsoft Surface 8 Pro and the Apple iPad/Android tablet feel of the Microsoft Surface RT.

"Since today in some German cities Microsoft's new tablet computer, the surface is presented. Here in Berlin, there are several places where you can take a look. I was at the Motel One in the Kant Strasse 10, right near the Zoological Garden Berlin station. The Experience Center is located in the entrance hall. Only 2 units to try out were available. Guests at the Motel One can also rent a surface and try to rest. Therefore, additional devices.

Two Microsoft Surface tablets were available for visitors to test

The tablet looks good and great is processed. The format may be a little getting used to. The weight is slightly larger than expected .

If you can live with Windows RT course everyone must decide for themselves, after all, you can only install programs from the store on it. The staff knew at least the difference between Windows 8 and RT, so that potential customers will be advised at least not wrong. You can buy the surface unfortunately only in the online store."-unnamed visitor to Microsoft Surface Experience Center

How Can Apple Steal Customers From Android?

Recently,I was at one of my friend's house.He said that he will be buying a new smartphone soon.He said that he was extremely confused between two smartphones.Can anyone guess which are they?
Well,they are none other than the Iphone 5 & the Samsung Galaxy S III.This friend of mine,doesn't really have much idea of cellphones so I asked him to consider Windows Phone as well and well,if he could wait till 2013 then even Blackberry 10 will be there. But he just won't listen to me.This is the kind of effect that Samsung and Apple have created on their customers.Obviously he hasn't used Android or iOS so he didn't know which one would suit his needs.

I tried very hard to make him incline towards Galaxy S III(mainly,becaue I am not too fond of Apple,just a personal choice ;don't be angry Apple fans!).But he just won't listen.He knew that the Galaxy S III has more features but insisted that there is something "royal" about the Iphone.He said ,"An Iphone is an Iphone after all".
Why I said the above is mainly because i wanted to emphasise the kind of aura that the two companies have created in the minds of their customers.From this I can conclude that Apple fans will always remain loyal to Apple no matter what happens, that's why Apple is so popular and that's absolutely understandable.Apple has supported Iphone 3GS for such a long time and their UI is not at all laggy (though multitasking is still a bit.......).Now what can Apple do to steal more customers from Android?Here are what I think the possible ways are :

1.Multitasking

This is really one of the biggest things that keeps me from accepting iOS.i mean,come on Apple!Its 2015!If Apple is so afraid that it will make their UI laggy then atleast they can provide that option isn't it?Those who need multitasking can enable it while others wh think that it is making the phone laggy can simply disable it.What do you reckon,Apple?

2.New Design

Apple has rolled out the sixth iteration of that groundbreaking platform, and it doesn’t look all that different than the first-generation release pictured above. That’s from 2007.

I’m not saying change, in a visual sense, is an absolute requisite of advancement. Of course Apple doing just fine without widgets, glanceable information, advanced multitasking and notifications, or any of the other features I demand of a modern UI. Evidently I’m in the minority. But competing platforms are continually evolving to bring more functionality to the end user, and the more they flood the market with their offerings, the more iPhone users are going to start sitting up and taking notice of all the things they can’t do as well.

3.Widgets

I am not too keen about widgets but there are a lot of people out there who need that.The basic advantage is that you don't really need to open an app,just glancing at the widget and you get all the info.

So maybe you can consider that choice too,Apple?

I want to hear from you, though. You out there. You’re on Windows Phone, or Android, or Symbian, or BlackBerry, or (bless you) webOS. This is a geek-oriented site, so you’re on those platforms for a good reason, i.e., not because you bought something without knowing what OS it ran. So you probably have a fair bit invested in your platform of choice. Awesome.

Now tell me what it would take for you to make the switch. What would Apple have to do to entice you to leap across the gorge to the world of iOS? Or, if that leap is in progress, and your new iPhone 5 is in the mail this very moment en route to your door, tell me what it was that pushed you over the edge.

1080 p Screens,What Next?

Almost a year has passed since we first started seeing smartphones with 720p displays. Since then, they’ve rapidly become the norm for smartphone screens, such that it’s hard to accept even a qHD display on an upper-tier handset. Now, 1080p displays are about to arrive, with the first-such Android models already announced. Will we be seeing these super-high-res screens migrate to the other major platforms, or is 1080p going to end up like 3D displays, and quickly fizzle out?

1080 p manufacturing process

The Rise Of 720p

LG premiered its Optimus LTE last season, with a 4.5-inch 720p display. That may have gotten the ball rolling, but Google really helped move things along with the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus and its 4.65-inch 720p screen. Seeing Google accept the technology like that signaled to OEMs that this was more than just a fad.

Now, we’re about to see the first 720p screens come to Windows Phone devices, and RIM will be introducing 720p models for the full-touch offerings in its BlackBerry 10 lineup next year. Even Apple’s sort of gotten on board, with the iPhone 5′s 1136 x 640 screen inching-up closer to 720p (though it’s still got 20-some-percent fewer pixels).

1080p Comes To Android

We recently saw the announcement of the HTC J Butterfly for Japan, featuring the company’s first five-inch 1080p display.There are plenty of rumors that other Android manufacturers will follow with similarly-equipped models. We know that LG has been working on phones with 1080p screens, and have seen rumors that manufacturers like Samsung and Pantech could also be getting ready to join the gang.

Already, 1080p sounds like it’s going to make a bigger splash than 3D displays ever did; if what we’re hearing is true, there appears to be some strong support from major manufacturers (Samsung never jumped on the 3D craze), and 1080p could, like 720p before it, quickly become something consumers look for in their high-end smartphones.

It Doesn’t Matter That 1080p Won’t Look Better

I recently wrote an article ,pointing out all the reason why we just don’t need them. Sure, as we move into tablets that’s not so true anymore, but for the moment I’m just concerned with 1080p on phones.

The problem is, as I see it, that 1080p displays are simply going to look awesome. Even if they’re battery hogs, and even if we can’t even see the difference between one pixel and the next, they’re going to look just as good as 720p screens, if not slightly better.

The idea of 1080p being superior to 720p is firmly ingrained in the minds of consumers by this point. Anyone who’s shopped for an HDTV in recent years has seen how great 1080p can look on a big screen, where the difference between 720p and 1080p is more easily appreciated. This isn’t like 3D, where no one knew quite what to make of it; the superiority of 1080p has already been well established.

So, whether it’s a significant improvement or not, 1080p on smartphones is already set up to succeed. The only thing I can see standing in its way is if some of those other problems Michael mentioned, like power consumption, end up substantially detracting from the user experience; in essence, smartphone manufacturers would have to really botch things – and in a big enough way that the public takes notice – in order to convince customers that 1080p isn’t something they should desire from a new phone.

Ultimately, I expect to see 1080p screens on Android devices start claiming a substantial share of the market for new, high-end phones by next summer.

After Android ,Who Next?

Apple has the potential to be the wild card here. It loves “wow”ing its fans, and its Retina Displays have really drawn attention to what’s possible with screens featuring very high pixel densities. That said, it hates to be seen playing catch-up, and has a history of dismissing otherwise-accepted technology (like NFC) when that just doesn’t suit its own vision for its platform. If anyone’s going to be able to stand up and say “you guys don’t really want 1080p; here, let us show you what you’ll actually like”, it’s going to be Apple. Combined with its distaste for jumbo-sized smartphones, making the small improvements 1080p offers even less apparent, I’d say we can probably count Apple out of the 1080p race.

Microsoft’s attitude towards new technology has shades of Apple’s, but I think that’s less a matter of wanting to dance to its own tune, and more about taking a slow approach to introducing change. If Microsoft sees Android users flocking to 1080p phones, it’s going to have to consider giving its own users the same option. Considering the pace it moves at, though, it might not even get around to evaluating such a thing until well into next year. Maybe we’d see some Windows Phone 9 handsets arrive with 1080p screens in 2014, but I can’t see it bringing 1080p to its platform anytime soon.

As for RIM, it clearly wants to be seen as a manufacturer with current, desirable hardware, but 1080p might be biting off more than it can chew. For one, it’s still too early to say whether or not BlackBerry 10 will be a hit. Follow that road long enough, and I’m left wondering if RIM will even still be making smartphones by the time it has to seriously think about 1080p. On the other hand, if it gets the sense early-on that 1080p is here to stay, it might want to take the initiative and beat Microsoft to the punch. If it can squeeze ahead of its competition in even that one area, that could go a long way towards making BlackBerry still seem relevant.

In the end, I’d have to put my money on Microsoft. Of all the companies running major platforms, I don’t see it having a fundamental issue with 1080p (like Apple might), and regardless of how Windows Phone 8 fares, it’s still going to be around and kicking a couple years from now.

1080 P ,what next?

Well,after 720 p,came 1080 p whats next?Personally I don't think that there should be anything else.Mainly because between 1080 p and 720 p,the difference is not really that much noticeable on a mobile screen.Anything more than 1080 p the difference will be negligible.

Why LG Is Still Behind The Competition

In the recent years, LG hasn't really featured strongly in the mobile world.Don't misunderstand me: in the era of the featurephones, LG was quite a sensation, bringing us aspirational designs like the Chocolate series and VX8700 for Verizon Wireless, and the Fusic/Music line for Sprint. It even provided Verizon’s headlining Apple competitors back in the pre-3G days of the iPhone in the form of the EnV device family. Internationally, it pumped out incredible designs like the mouthwatering BL40.

LG Feature phone

Then came the era of smartphones. Not just the smartphone-market shakeup Apple accomplished with the iPhone -which LG managed to use to its advantage with its own wave of carrier-branded competitors like the EnV and Voyager- but the sudden influx of smartphones into the consumer space. As RIM, Microsoft, Palm, Google, and Apple started taking consumers into the smartphone world, hardware partners started gaining traction along with them. The smartphone explosion catapulted HTC into relevance and slingshotted Samsung into orbit, where it recently surpassed Nokia to become the world’s top handset vendor. Meanwhile, we’ve seen LG dwindle in scale, cutting its Windows Phone offerings amid conflicting statements about its future support for the platform, and professing a new focus on Android.

That focus shift, if unfortunate for lovers of Windows Phone, might actually be a tactically sound move for LG; it’s certainly worked out well for rival Samsung. And indeed, LG has managed to consistently make headlines with its Android offerings, churning out a bevy of “firsts.” The company was the first to roll out a dual-core Android smartphone, and the first to offer a glasses-free 3D smartphone. We expect to see the company unveil another first-in-class very shortly as it takes the wraps off the Optimus G, the world’s first smartphone packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro, which will offer LTE and quad-core performance on the same chip. Clearly, the company hasn't been standing still.But the company also fails in some crucial areas. Here’s the top reasons LG hasn’t yet caught up to Samsung in the mobile-technology arena, and why it might not ever do so.

1.Ugly Software

The discussion about Android skins has been a long, involved one. Android devices now feature skins more often than not. In the case of some manufacturers, like Samsung, HTC, and even Huawei, that’s not an entirely bad thing. There’s been a steady trend toward adding features without increasing lag, so skins are less onerous than they once were.

LG’s unimaginatively named “LG UI” doesn’t necessarily increase lag, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of utility. As we saw during our hands-on with the Optimus L9 in Berlin (linked previously), the latest iteration affords users extensive options for customizing app icons and transition effects, and it’s quite responsive in version 3.0. But its visual design is stuck in the Gingerbread era, it’s beset by typos in our Intuition review unit, and it doesn’t offer enough compelling set-offs to justify its inclusion over stock Android. Especially considering the inevitable update delay all skins cause.

2.Poor Hardware

That rundown of well-crafted LG devices above was fun to write, but in retrospect it’s quite depressing. The company hasn’t cobbled together a truly good device in years. That’s speaking from a visual standpoint; LG has certainly made headlines by beating others to the market with innovative new features.It even implements traditional -some might say old-fashioned- features like hardware keyboards quite well; but these quality implementations always seem to be wrapped in a casing that’s dull at best.

These are the main reasons why LG is not being able to make the headlines.But with launch of extremely impressive LG Optimus G and the soon-to-be-launched Nexus 4,the tables just might turn in LG's favour,who knows!

Galaxy Note II Top Features

The Note II ,the successor of the successful Note is a giant .Its screen size is 5.5 inches and the S pen really makes it unique.Here are the top features of the Note II.

1.Memo-Taking

Samsung loves taking gambles,and that is why it introduced the S Pen,thus bringing back the long forgotten stylus.The pop-up S Note function is quite useful

The execution is pretty simple: if you’re out on the town and someone wants to give you the name of a local bar, or a phone number, or an address, or anything you need to jot down in a hurry, the Galaxy Note II is always there. Pop out the device’s S Pen, press the button on its side, and give the screen a double-tap with the tip of the pen. No matter what app you’re in, a popover window containing a miniaturized version of S Note will appear, allowing you to jot down the salient bits of info that might otherwise have been lost to the haze of the night. Too bleary-eyed to write well? The eraser function is carried over from the full-size version of the app, as is the text-recognition option. When your note is complete, tap the check mark to save it and dismiss the pop up … or hit “x” to delete the memo once you realize that whatever this person is saying isn’t that critical after all.

2.Powerful Multitasking

The Note II is not only big in size,it packs 2 GB Ram as well.Surfing the feed in Twitter and come across a link that’s begging for a click? On any other smartphone, clicking on that glowing string of blue temptation clumsily dumps you out of the Twitter app and into your device’s browser, requiring you to sit there and watch as the phone loads the page. Not so on the Galaxy Note II, whose big display and powerful hardware offer enough canvas and horsepower to whip up a miniature browser in a pop-up window. Keep on scrolling and clicking away in your Twitter stream or Facebook feed while the page loads; when it’s there, read what you came for, then click the X to send Pop Up Browser on its merry way. Or, maximize the window (this requires a page reload) to see your webpage in full size.

If you are a power user, needing simultaneous use of more than just a browser and another app, Multi Screen is your solution. It allows a handful of apps -even select third-party apps like Facebook and Twitter- to run side-by-side on the Galaxy Note II’s display, both of them in focus at the same time. This eliminates the need to, say, hop back and forth between Email and Maps looking up an address your boss sent you; Multi Screen allows both apps to run simultaneously.

3.Hovering Action

Bringing the S Pen close enough to the Galaxy Note II’s screen results in the software projecting a cursor onto the display at the location of the S Pen’s nib. This cursor can be used much like a mouse cursor on a desktop computer, to bring up preview windows on a video scrubber, activate drop-down menus on websites without clicking the underlying link, or open preview panes in apps like the Calendar and Gallery. The end result is a relationship with the interface that feels more like a full desktop experience than any other smartphone can offer.

So there you have it,these are according to me the best features of the Note II.If you want t add more,please comment below.

Motorola RAZR i Defeats Galaxy S III

Recently,Motorola released the RAZR i,a single core android phone which has a Intel processor running in its heart.But don't get fooled by the single core processor.I know that many of you must be thinking that a single core processor can never compete with a dual core processor,let alone the quad core ones.And that is where you are completely wrong.Cause this is no ordinary chip.It is made by Intel,and is the first processor to run at 2 GHz on a mobile device .That clock speed is the key to the RAZR i's responsiveness and smooth UI.

RAZR i

I know that there is a common belief that bigger is better.But not always.The RAZR i completely blew the Galaxy S II away in terms of multitasking.Check out this video,if you don't believe me.

So,I just want to make one thing clear.Don't simply buy a phone only because it has a quad-core processor.

At the end,it is not the number of cores that matters but how they perform in real life that matters and in terms of that Motorola has a clear winner in the RAZR i.
