Nexus 10 Tablet Officially Annonced

The Samsung made Google nexus 10 is now official.


The most important feature of the tablet is its 10.1" display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. This makes for a pixel density of 300ppi, beating (at least on paper) Apple iPad 3's 9.7 inch display with 1536 x 2048 resolution and 264 ppi pixel density

Under the hood the Nexus 10 packs Samsung's Exynos 5 chipset with a two Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.7GHz, a quad-core Mali T-604 GPU and 2GB of RAM. Exynos 5 already created some great results in benchmarks so there is no doubt it'll absolutely fly with the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

According to Google the battery is capable of delivering 9 hours of continuous video playback. Unfortunately, Google hasn't yet disclosed the battery's capacity.
The Nexus 10 will be available on November 13 on the Google Play store in the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan. The 16GB version will retail for $399, while the 32GB edition will go for $499.

LG Nexus 4 Announced


Despite Google cancelling its event today due to the hurricane Sundy, LG has already announced the Nexus 4. Most of the details about the phone were already known and I have even pointed out the key feautures earlier.
                               It has a 4.7" True HD IPS Plus screen with WXGA resolution (768 x 1280, 15:9 aspect ratio)and is  powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with four Krait cores at 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM and Adreno 320 GPU.The phone is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (yeah,the name is the same) and there is no microsd card support.There are 8 & 16 GB versions.


The camera is a 8MP sensor and it has a cool feature called Photo Sphere. It's like a panorama, but you can snap photos in every direction you like - sideways, upside-down, wherever.It has a 2,100mAh battery, which is enough for 15.3 hours of talk time or 390 hours of standby. The phone supports wireless charging.
As far as connectivity goes, the LG-made Google Nexus 4 will have GSM/HSPA+ and NFC . We suspect there will be a CDMA version later on, but there's no info on that just yet.
                               The first LG Nexus 4 phones will be available from the Play Store in US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia starting November 13. If you prefer brick and mortar stores, the you'll have to wait until the end of November when the Nexus will hit Europe, Central/South Americas, Asia, CIS and the Middle East.
                            The 8GB version (unlocked) is priced at $299, while the 16GB version is $349.

No 7" Windows 8 Tablets In Recent Future

Image representing Windows as depicted in Crun...
Windows
There will be no 7

Microsoft and its partners are currently focusing on the 10" tablet space.And that means that the future of 7" Windows 8 tablets is bleak.

It is not entirely sure if the statement goes for Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets alike, but it is believed so... which is really not right because 7" or 7+" Windows RT tablets really make sense. With a smaller screen (and lower price), people are less likely to use such a tablet for productivity purposes and more likely to be OK with using it as a consumer device - mainly for web browsing, reading, music, a bit of gaming, etc.

What do you have to say about Microsoft's decision?Comment below.

Live Wallpaper In Windows 8

 Yes,you heard that right.There is a chance that WP 8 may bring live wallpapers in the lock screen.
                    Microsoft's Joe Belfiore and the other guys in charge with Windows Phone development did promise more  features to be unveiled at the event today than what was already revealed in the summer.
        
However,it is still a rumour.The image you see above has been sent as an example of this new functionality, which apparently will take some of the default apps, or there live tiles, to be precise, on the lock screen. Pretty good,right? Here,we are seeing the Bing search changing wallpapers as an option, as well as the Sports and News apps getting front and center, with what appears to be live updates directly on your lock screen.
                       Well,if its true then its quite good since one of my friends was reluctant from buying a WP 8 device just because it doesn't have a live wallpaper!What do you people think?

Nokia Lumia 920 Hands-On video


 Nokia Lumia 920 shown off in hands-on video                
           The Nokia Lumia 920 is not  expected to start selling until November 12th, but Swedish operator 3 Sverige seems to have accidentally put a full hands-on review of the handset on its official YouTube channel.

                  Not just that, 3 Sverige has also leaked out the LG Nexus 4 in a similar hands on video. The video shows the Windows Phone 8 new start menu, music app, browser, and Nokia Drive, and all seem to be perfectly smooth.

                Finally, the reviewer throws in the FatBoy wireless charging pillow and shows just how easy it is to charge the device. However,its camera performance was not shown much.

Here is a link to that video

How To Take Photos While Video Recording In Iphone 5

Often it happens that we don't record a video,fearing that then maybe we can't click photos .Then you have a tough decision to make.Do you stop filming, snap the photo and go back to recording, or just miss out on it altogether? Well, if you own an iPhone 5 you can now do both. Yes,the iPhone 5's native camera app has the ability to snap a photo while you're recording a video.
Iphone 5 Camera
           
    While recording, you'll see a camera icon on the screen. Tapping on it will snap a photo without interrupting the video.

                    The photo is then saved to your Camera Roll. The only downside is that any photos snapped while recording a video are taken in the iPhone 5's 16:9 aspect ration, with a size of 1,920x1,080 pixels. So you'll be missing out on the same quality you've come to expect from the camera on the iPhone, but the quality is still moderate.
