By Vijay @ 09:20am




Nokia’s upcoming phablet device, with an expected release at the yet unannounced September event has been making the news lately as the Lumia 1520 and it is expected to have a quad core processor and a 1080p screen. WPC have gotten their hands on some alleged images of the device that look very real to us, the device is placed next to a Lumia 1020.

The device is rumored to be 6″ and ultra thin with a 20Mp camera; what we can see here is that the bezel is indeed quite small matching up to the previous screen leeks we saw a month or so ago.
Note the accessory which resembles an ipad smart cove, that can double as a stand for the device, I want! hopefully this is real, because my pockets have begun to itch!


*Note: the device above bears a striking resemblance to another alleged leak we saw a while back

Rumoured Gold iPhone 5S and plastic iPhone 5C compared in a Video

By Vijay @ 10:10pm


By now you must be more than familiar with how the forthcoming iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S are likely to look, according to several leaks. Adding to the already long list, is a video posted by AppAdvice, which shows the back casings of the gold colored iPhone 5S and the blue variant of the iPhone 5C. 


About 4 min  long video shows the gold variant of the iPhone 5S alongside the aforementioned blue variant of the iPhone 5C and the two iPhone 5 colors. The iPhone 5S looks strikingly similar to the iPhone 5, with the only visible difference being an elongated flash unit, which could house the dual LED flash module that was leaked earlier. Additionally, the iPhone 5S is also expected to feature an upgraded camera and a fingerprint scanner.

The iPhone 5C plastic back panel, on the other hand, remains consistent with the previous leaks. It is likely to be offered in two variants—codenamed ‘Zenevo’ and the ‘Zagato/Bertone’. The variants are said to look the same but will feature slight differences on the hardware front. Zenovo is reported to feature a dual-core Samsung H5P processor, 1GB of RAM and Bluetooth 4.0, while the Zegato/Bertone, is said to feature an H6P processor and 1GB of RAM, and Bluetooth 4.0. 

Additionally, the phone is also expected to sport an 8-megapixel rear camera.

Both the devices are expected to be announced on September 10.

Sony planning to launch Z1 aka Hanomi on September 18th in INDIA

By Vijay @ 09:58pm

Sony Xperia Z1 aka Honami, is going to launch in India on September 18th at an event in New Delhi. Just like the Xperia Z, which was the Japanese giant’s flagship smartphone for the first half of the year, Sony will rope in Bollywood star Katrina Kaif as the brand ambassador for the device. The fact that Sony will launch the Xperia Z1 within two weeks of its global announcement suggests India will be in the first wave of countries where it will be launched. 

Notably, the phone will carry a price tag of close to Rs 50,000/- if not more, which might fluctuate depending on the prevailing forex rate. The Xperia Z1 is expected to be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU clocked at 2.2GHz, which will work in tandem with 2GB of RAM and will have a 5-inch 1080p display that will boast Sony’s Triluminus display technology.

The Xperia Z1 is an imaging monolith as it will combine a Cyber-shot branded 20-megapixel sensor that will have Carl Zeiss optics and a Sony G lens that the company reserves for its point and shoot cameras.

 Additionally, is also expected to combine Sony’s BIONZ image processing engine and it is expected to be the first phone to be able to shoot video at 4K resolutions. Design wise as the above press image shows, that it could have a metal frame much like the Nokia Lumia 925 and internally it will also have 16GB of memory, a microSD card slot and a 3,000 mAh battery. It will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. We have also heard that the phone will feature an augmented reality app called Info-eye which could work similar to Nokia’s CityLens app on its Lumia devices.

Satya Nadella, born INDIAN, is in running for Microsoft top job...CEO???

By Vijay @ 02:59pm

Satya Nadella born Indian, currently heading Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group, is listed among likely successors to the information technology giant’s CEO Steve Ballmer, who is set to retire within a year.

As executive vice president, Nadella “runs a group that continues to churn out growth and profits”, noted Seattle Times in a story on the start of a guessing game among Microsoft watchers since Ballmer’s impending departure was announced.

“There is no single clear successor to a lightning rod of a leader who remains one of the most identifiable CEOs in the country,” it said.

“What’s more, the next CEO may well have a far different job than the one Ballmer is vacating”, the Times said as “Once the dominant force in technology, Microsoft now finds itself chasing companies in key businesses such as Google in Web search and Apple in mobile devices.”

Nadella, 44, as head of Microsoft’s $19 billion Server and Tools Business, is credited with the transformation of the business and technology from client-server software to cloud infrastructure and services.

Before joining Microsoft in 1992, he initially worked as the senior vice president of R&D for the Online Services Division and vice president of the Microsoft Business Division, Nadella worked with Sun Microsystems as a member of the technology staff.

Listing Nadella among potential Ballmer successors, the Wall Street journal noted he “ran the Server and Tools business successfully from 2011 to this year and took over running the company’s important cloud-computing efforts in last month’s management reshuffle”.

“Indeed, in reassigning a number of top executives, that reorganization seems a tailor-made bake-off for the top job,” it said.

Nadella also figures on the New York Times’ list of current Microsoft executives who could be contenders besides Tony Bates, former director of Skype and now executive vice president of business development and strategy.

Speculation by analysts and executives about external candidates included Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook; Reed Hastings, chief executive of Netflix and a former director at Microsoft; Scott Forstall, who ran iOS at Apple until last year and John Legere, chief executive of T-Mobile, it said.

Nadella holds a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago, and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology. He is also an alumnus of the Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet.

So, Wish him all the Best...

By Vijay @ 02:16pm

 
Apple’s buyback schemes for its phones and tablets have been a huge hit in the Indian market and nearly all the other companies like LG, Nokia,, Sony, Samsung and BlackBerry have followed the same with their own schemes. Now, the latest to enter this arena is HTC. 

HTC is offering a buyback scheme on its Desire series of phones, especially the Desire X and the Desire U. Under the scheme, when you exchange your old phone you will get Rs 2,500/- off on either one of the aforementioned devices. Needless to say, the cashback is subject to certain conditions. The scheme effectively brings down the price of the Desire X from Rs 16,790/- to Rs 14,280/- and in the case of the Desire U from Rs 14,390/- to Rs 11,890/-.

Unlike the schemes offered by Sony and Samsung, where they offer cashback after having raised the prices of the devices, HTC hasn’t raised the price of the Desire X or the Desire U. Without the scheme, the Desire X is available on e-commerce sites at prices ranging from Rs 16,000/- to Rs 17,490/-.
