How Tecno Stole The Show From Nokia AndBlackberry

Tecno Mobile Nigeria is one of the leading
mobile brand in nigeria and also africa. Tecno is
well known for selling android powered phones

the launch of Tecno N3 In november 2012.
Tecno's first android phone , tecno N3 didnt
feature some awesome specs. Looking at the
specs alone you'ld know that at that time , tecno

Grand Theft Auto 5 Breaks Seven World Records.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has smashed seven Guinness
World Records, it has been confirmed today.
The records, which include "best-selling video
game in 24 hours" and "most viewed trailer for
an action- adventure video game", confirm the
phenomenal
success of Rockstar Games' premier title.
GTA 5, which has already outsold its predecessor
raced to $815m in sales within 24 hours of its
release, and surpassed the $1bn-mark just two
days
later. As a result, the game shattered seven
different world records from across the
entertainment industry.
"GTA totally deserves to be recognized as an
icon of modern British culture," said Craig
Glenday, the Guinness World Records Editor-in-
Chief. "How exciting that it's taken on the might
of Hollywood and won! I'm also doubly proud
as a Dundonian to welcome this home-grown
series back into the Guinness World Records
book."
The online portion of the game has experienced
some teething problems since it was launched
last week, but it doesn't seem to have halted the
continuing success of the open-world crime
epic.
A full list of the records broken by GTA 5 can be
found below:
1) Best-selling action-adventure videogame in
24 hours.
2) Best-selling videogame in 24 hours.
3) Fastest entertainment property to gross$1
billion.

Apple shows off thinner iPad Airand retina iPad Mini

Apple has unveiled a top-of-the-range
tablet called the iPad Air that is 20% thinner
than the previous version.
The 9.7in (24.6cm) computer is 7.5mm (0.3in)
thick and weighs 1lb (469g), which the firm
claims is the lightest full-sized tablet on the
market.
It is powered by the same A7 chip found in the
company's iPhone 5S.
The launch comes at a time when some analysts
have suggested that Google's Android is about
to overtake Apple's iOS as the bestselling tablet
platform.
Apple also announced a new version of its iPad
Mini.

LG announces curved screen phones to launch in 2014

LG has announced it is to start mass- production of what it calls the "world's first flexible OLED [organic light- emitting diode] panel for smartphones". The South Korean firm said it hoped to start selling the first handsets to feature the tech next year The news comes weeks after Samsung made a similar announcement Samsung said it intended to launch its first product - a special edition of the Galaxy Note 3 - later this month Both companies already use the technology to offer curved OLED television sets. Although the displays used in the TVs are in theory "flexible", they are mounted in fixed shells so they cannot be bent or otherwise re-shaped by the owner A press release from LG's display division indicated its handset screen would curve from top-to-bottom rather than side-to-side, the design Samsung described in a recent patent It said the advantage of using the tech was that the panel was "bendable and unbreakable"."The new display is vertically concave from top to bottom with a radius of 700mm [28in], opening up a world of design innovations in the smartphone market," LG added."What's more, it is also the world's lightest, weighing a mere 7.2g [0.25oz] even with a 6in screen, the largest among current smartphone OLED displays." One industry watcher was not convinced the product, as described, would have much appeal."I think LG is doing this to show it is innovative, to do something different and to stand out from the rest of the bar-style screen devices that we have at the moment," said David McQueen, a mobile device expert at tech consultants Informa"But I don't think consumers are going to be that interested by a slightly curved design."However, we do think there will be interest if flexible screens are used to offer different form factors."For example a device that you snap round your wrist or a traditional shaped smartphone whose screen wraps around the sides onto a bit of the back so that the edges become touchscreen rather than hard buttons."

World Solar Challenge: Crash ends Cambridge University race hopes

Just days before the start of the race,
Resolution crashed during testing
Stewards scrutinised the damage to
Resolution at the roadside
The only British team to qualify for a
solar car race in Australia has been
forced to pull out after its vehicle
crashed just days before the start.
The Cambridge University Eco Racing
car, Resolution, was expected to take
part in the Bridgestone World Solar
Challenge, but crashed on Tuesday.
The team hoped to fix it before the
start, but withdrew on Saturday.
In a statement, the team said: "We have
not been able to reassure ourselves of
the safety of our solar drivers."
Resolution was one of 28 vehicles
entered in the Challenger category of
the 1,860-mile (3,000km), seven-day
race from Darwin to Adelaide which
started earlier.
'Rolled and skidded'
Built by a 60-strong team of students at
the university's engineering
department, the car weighs 265lb
(120kg) and is designed to run at an
average speed of 50mph (80km/h).
During testing prior to the race, the
team wrote on their blog: "The first
three hours of testing went exactly as
planned.
"Unfortunately, we also did one
unplanned test, of the structural
integrity of the chassis. We had an
accident."
The vehicle rolled on its side, skidded
along the road and slipped down an
embankment.
The driver walked away unhurt as the
roll cage and chassis stood up to the
impact.
However, the team said: "[The] solar
cells on the side of the door... do not
take kindly to being sanded by 50m of
rough tarmac.
"Large portions of the side panel cells
are now scattered in a thin, very
expensive layer over the surface of [the
road]."
The team added the car was "only
designed to withstand one such impact
- and as such needs to be repaired to
be fit for purpose".
Members were unable to make the
repairs in time for the start of the race.
A message on their website said: "The
team is very disappointed but we are
confident that we have made the right
decision."

THE BLACKBERRY Q10 REVIEW

After the not so epic introduction of the blackberry 10 series with the launch of the Z10, Blackberry seems to have taken into consideration the pros and more especially the cons of the maiden blackberry 10 device and now present the market with the blackberry Q10.

The new device sports a 3.1 inch Super Amoled display with 720×720 resolution and 360 pixels per inch a notable difference from the 4.2 inch 1280×7260 display that came with its predecessor, 2 gig of ram, a dual core, 1.5 GHz processor, 16 gigabyte of internal memory and an 8 mega pixel rear facing camera.

One standout feature of the Q10 is the presence of a physical keyboard which puts it above its peers, the Q10 is the only Smartphone in its class with a physical keyboard, and knowing that the blackberry has always been known to have the best text entry hardware, the Q10 doesn’t disappoint following in the trend.

The Q10 also comes across immediately as aesthetically pleasing with its jet black casing with silver accents, complete with carbon fibre on the back of the handset passing off a message of luxury and class which is one of the major reasons why Nigerians go for high end smart phones.

Unlike previous blackberry models which used the email capabilities of the device as a key selling point, Blackberry seems to have borrowed a page from apple’s notebook and are now marketing the Q10 based on its application capabilities, swiping up and down bring up settings, notifications and open apps, while left or right gestures let you scroll through home screens. All communication: messages, e-mail, calls or Facebook and Twitter are put together in the Hub, the intuitive central nervous system. One of the major problems though is the lack of third party applications, currently boasting about 700,000 apps on the blackberry world they still have a long way to go if they intend on competing with the likes of apple and android in this regard. The new blackberry Messenger (BBM) as found in the Z10 also features a new and improved dark themed user interface, it features free voice and video calls as well as voice recognition which is not very accurate.

One area where most Nigerians have faulted the previous blackberry devices is with the batteries especially putting into consideration the erratic power supply in the country. Nigerians are in need of a Smartphone capable of lasting for a reasonably lengthy period of time and the Q10 solves the problem, with heavy use, the 2,100 mAh battery lasts around two days, which is amazing for a Smartphone
In all, the blackberry Z10 doesn’t really present any eye popping improvements which would see it compete favorably with other smartphone manufacturers but if you are in need of a high end Smartphone for emailing or texting ,with a very effective qwerty keyboard that allows easy manipulation and input of text then the Q10 is your best bet. What do you think?

South Korean ‘Armadillo’ Car Folds Up For Easy Parking

With a click on a smartphone, the experimental “Armadillo-T” electric car made in South Korea will park itself and fold nearly in half, freeing up space in crowded cities.

The quirky two-seater, named after the animal whose shell it resembles, may never see production but it is part of a trend of developing environmentally friendly vehicles for urban spaces.

The car can travel 100 km (62 miles) on a 10-minute charge and has a maximum speed of 60 km per hour (37 miles per hour).

When it comes time to park, the rear of the vehicle folds over the front, almost halving its body length to just 1.65 meters (65 inches).

“They can be parked in every corner of the street and buildings, be it apartments, shopping malls or supermarkets,” said Suh In-soo, a professor at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology who led development of the car.

Suh did away with rear-view mirrors by adding tiny digital cameras that show the back and sides of the car on a flat screen on the dashboard. A Windows-based computer system communicates with the driver’s smartphone and enables self-parking.

The Armadillo-T cannot legally venture on to the road in South Korea because it does not meet certain mandatory criteria, such as withstanding crashes. Suh said South Korea should relax rules for micro cars, exempting them from crash requirements because of their relatively low speeds.

A video demonstrating the prototype has been viewed more than 780,000 times on YouTube.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) specs and features

In addition to unveiling the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone and Galaxy Gear smartwatch, Samsung also announced a new tablet during its IFA 2013 Unpacked event, the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

The second-generation Galaxy Note 10.1 model is also a 10.1-inch tablet, just like its predecessor that was unveiled at MWC 2012.

The new tablet will still be made of plastic, and it will share the design and features of the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. We’re looking at a “warm and textured back cover with stitching” which should “inspire a sense of elegance and sophistication. Even a Home button is present, something the original Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet did not have to offer.

Specs and features

Here are the main specs and features of the new tablet:

• Size: 243.1 x 171.4 x 7.9mm
• Weight: 535g
• 10.1-inch WQXGA Super clear LCD (2560 x 1600 resolution)
• 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor (LTE version) / 1.9GHz octa-core Exynos 5 Octa processor (3G/Wi-Fi version)
• 3GB of RAM
• 16/32/64GB of storage
• microSD support up to 64GB
• 8-megapixel camera with BSI sensor, and LED flash
• 2-megapixel camera with BSI sensor
• Wi-Fi ac/a/b/g/n (2.4GHz & 5GHz), Wi-Fi Direct
• Bluetooth 4.0
• USB 2.0
• GPS, GLONASS
• S Pen
• 8220mAh battery
• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz on top and Samsung features (the tablet will offer the same software features that will be available on the Galaxy Note 3)
• 
  

Release date and pricing

While the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet is called the “2014 Edition,” the tablet will be launched in various markets starting with the third quarter – which means it will hit Nigeria in a couple of months

When it comes to connectivity options, Samsung will sell three Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) versions including a Wi-Fi-only model, a Wi-Fi and 3G model, and a Wi-Fi and LTE(4G) version. 

Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch: specs, pics and details!

The Galaxy Gear from Samsung finally arrived yesterday at the IFA in Berlin and we’ve got all the details. For Samsung fans, this will be a very useful device. For those of

Specs

While the metal frame around the screen will come in two colors — silver and rose gold — the band will offer many more choices. Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, Jet Black, Mocha Grey, Wild Orange, and Lime Green will make up the wrist strap choices at launch, but don’t get excited for third party bands just yet: the camera is actually built into the band, as you can see in the picture below. you desirous for the Note 3, this may be a must have accompaniment.

Samsung didn’t give a megapixel count for the camera, but did note it can take 10 second videos in high definition.

The Super AMOLED screen is 1.63-inches square, with a 320 x 320 resolution and 278 PPI. The 315mAh battery is said to get you a full 24 hours under “normal use”, but will diminish much faster with any intensive activity. Samsung does report the device will charge in about 1.5 hours on the included cradle, and uses pins on the back of the face to connect to the Gear.

The 800 MHz Exynos processor powering the Gear was of unspecified type (dual core or quad core), and our crew on the ground report it felt sluggish in many circumstances. The two microphones on either side of the screen are used to help with noise cancellation, and can be used for voice-to-text input, or to control a voice call. The home button will rest on the right side, and clicking that will take you to S-Voice, Samsung’s Google Now substitute.

Software

Samsung says the Gear is based on Android Jelly Bean, but is heavily modified. The home screen shows a clock face by default, and you can swipe to the left or right for notifications, much like the Google Glass interface. Swiping left will give you notifications like text or email from the parent device (more on that in a minute), settings, and apps. Lifting your hand will wake the display, and when paired to a device, it will disable the pattern lock screen. Dragging down from the top will send you back to the home screen, and dragging down from the home screen launches the camera.

A package deal

For now, the Galaxy Gear will only work with the Note 3. We can surmise this has to do with the Note 3’s updated TouchWiz skin, but Samsung wasn’t willing to confirm why the Note 3 was the only compatible device. With music playback controls, and a “find my device” feature being used harmoniously with the Note 3 and Gear, this smartwatch may just be proprietary to Samsung smartphones.

The Gear is not a standalone device, but offers much of the same features as current smartwatches (pedometer, notifications, music controls, etc.). Samsung reports it will have over 70 compatible apps at launch, including Evernote, Pinterest, and RunKeeper. Gear Manager, an app available for the Note 3, will control settings and apps for the Gear.

CES 2013 - LATEST TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERIES AND INVENTRIES

Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon

The mission of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system is to break down the barrier between the PC and tablet, but it's also a challenge to PC makers to rethink the fundamentals of computer design. Lenovo picked up the gauntlet and ran with it, creating a huge 27-inch monitor that lays flat and becomes an interactive table. The IdeaCentre Horizon has an HD screen, i7 processor, a 2-hour battery, and a specialized multi-user UI called Aura with games and activities oriented towards multiple users. The Horizon should go on sale this summer for around $1600.

Canonical Ubuntu For Android

Ubuntu—the cultish, open-source computer Linux operating system—has made it onto a phone. And gestures are king in Ubuntu for Android, the first foray onto smartphones by Ubuntu's for-profit arm, Canonical. Due in late 2013, the open-source phone OS swipes uses swipes from the sides to reveal favorite apps or running apps. A drag-down windowpane reveals elegant, horizontally scrollable access to the phone's settings. The interface is a beautiful take on classic smartphone icons, which aren't stuck in a static grid but instead come and go as they're updated. For instance, they change size to display recent posts on Twitter or active text message conversations.

Ford's Open Developer Program

Ford has been working with a small group of developers to come up with innovative apps for its in-dash Sync environment. At CES this year, the company announced the program now would be open to all interested. Entrepreneurs will pitch ideas for apps, which Ford engineers will review for safety and approve the app for work. Ford sends out a development kit, application programming interface, and grants access to Ford's library of Sync intellectual property without a licensing cost.

Samsung Smart TV Platform

Samsung has won an Editor's Choice Award before for its smart TV platform, which helps users navigate the increasingly complex and diverse world of video entertainment with custom apps, as well as voice and gesture control. This year, the company has launched a big update to its platform with a quad-core processor, facial recognition that customizes content to the individual viewer, plus improved natural language and gesture controls. Samsung's line of 2013 smart TVs also uses predictive analysis to monitor viewing habits and suggest relevant content. And, as it has in years' past, Samsung offers an Evolution Kit that bumps up older sets to the new processor and interface.

Sony Xperia Z

Sony's newest smartphone is a model of corporate synergy done right, incorporating the company's display and image capture technology into its stunning 5-inch 1080p touchscreen display, and also including the world's first smartphone sensor that can take HDR video. The Z has smart features such as NFC connectivity with other Sony devices, and a battery-saving mode that turns off power-intensive apps when the screen is off. But our favorite feature is the one every phone should have: The Z is seriously water-resistant. You'd never know it from its sleek profile but this Sony phone can sit under a meter of water for a half-hour.

iTwin Connect

The beauty of the iTwin Connect is its simplicity: Plug one half of the device into the computer you're using and you can browse the Internet via VPN through one of the company's servers. Or you can create your own VPN using two computers—one at home, say, and the other in an insecure public network—to tunnel your Internet browsing through your personal computer and keep your browsing safe and secure. The Connect, which costs $129 and is available now, protects all browsing with AES 256-bit encryption.

Vehicle Diagnostics by Delphi

The lightning fast development of in-car electronics has been a boon to automotive techies, but much of the benefits are lost to used car owners. Now Delphi has released the Vehicle Diagnostics, a dongle that plugs into the OBD-II port found in any vehicle built since 1996. The dongle has a Verizon data connection and GPS sensors that send position and vehicle data up to the cloud. A smartphone or tablet can access all the vehicle data, diagnostic information, speed, and remotely unlock the doors or start the car via web. Other neat stuff: You can set up geofences to alert if the car leaves or enters and area, starts speeding, or does all kinds of things you don't want your teenagers to do. Pricing will be set by Verizon and the unit will go on sale by the end of the first quarter.

LG Smart Control Appliances

By embedding its home appliances with NFC chips, LG allows everything from washers and dryers to vacuum cleaners to be operated via smartphones (you can also control them through LG's TVs). With a single tap, appliances and phones pair for remote control and diagnostic alerts. The appliances also work together, too. LG's smart refrigerator, for instance, preheats the oven based on a chosen recipe, generated from the ingredients on hand. The camera-equipped vacuum cleaner, an update the LG's Hom-bot, doubles as a surveillance device. These, and all other LG smart appliances, respond to natural-language input. They're also built to maximize energy efficiency, showing that the smart grid starts at home, not just at the utility level.
