Moto X now available on Flipkart

After the overwhelming response for the budget smartphone Moto G, The most awaited android phone Moto X from Motorola has been launched officially in India. Yes, It runs on the world's most powerful mobile platform: Android. It has been launched in India by the national online business leader : Flipkart. Flipkart has officially made a contract with the Motorola for launching Moto G and Moto X in India.

Pricing?

The pricing has been efficiently done so that it gives a tough competition to other smartphones in the same range from other giants like Apple, Samsung, Nokia and LG. This phone (MOTO X) costs Rs. 23999 for White , Black, Royal Blue , Turquoise and Red colored back polycarbonate plastic finish and Rs. 25999 for Teak and Walnut wood back finishings.

What's Hot?

The phone arrived in 2 days from flipkart and here is the picture of the blue version which I had ordered.

The most interesting feature is it's touchless control. All you need to say is "Okay, Google Now" followed by what you want you phone to do. One more cool feature is it's Active Display, which shows all notifications at a single place.

The phone is very handy and also awesome in looks. Talking about the specifications, the phone has got a 10MP rear camera with a 2MP front camera. It has 2GB of RAM in it with 2,200 mAh battery, 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and micro-USB 2.0 support. Also, Flipkart is offering free 50GB free space on Google Drive.

 

What's not?

Unlike Moto G (which had it's 8GB and 16GB variant), Moto X has been launched only in it's 16GB variant in India.  Unfortunately, features like the ONLINE STUDIO MOTO MAKER will not be available for customers in India (A feature that allows users to customise their Moto X devices with over 2,000 possible combinations). Also, It is a single SIM phone, unlike MotoG which was Dual SIM.

The bottom line : BUY THIS PHONE, It's worth it. :)

MOBILE RECHARGE MADE EASY

MOBILE RECHARGE MADE EASY

What did you do if you wanted to recharge you phone balance Two or Three years ago?
I know the only possible answer would be to go out to a STD shop or a mobile shop and get a recharge coupon; scratch it and then put the 16-digit secret code when asked by the customer care caller id.

If the same question was asked before 1 year, one more possible answer would have been added to the list.
"I get it done by telling my phone number to the shopkeeper who did something with his phone and my balance got top-up", this would have been a possible answer when I asked this to my Mother.

And when someone asks me the same question now, My ONLY answer would be MOBIKWIK.
I've been using Mobikwik for more than 6-7 months and trust me, this is the safest site that you can use to get your phone recharged through Internet sitting at your home.I have also used many other sites like paytm but the main reason to go with Mobikwik is that there really care their customers.
I've recommended this to my brother, who in turn is also getting used to this site.The site has great yet simple user interface and the site experience is also excellent.
You can go to this site by clicking this link-
www.mobikwik.com

Why Mobikwik?

» You can add money to your Mobikwik Balance (This acts like your e-Wallet).

» With that Balance, You can recharge your mobile Anytime via Website, SMS, CALL or Mobile App.
Plus,  Get *FREE* coupons worth Rs 4000 on every payment!

Mobile Recharge has been made too simple by these people.The firm is having it's head office at New Delhi.
Hats off to them. Thanks MOBIKWIK.

ANDROID VS IOS

ANDROID VS IOS

Who wins the race?

SUBJECT	ANDROID	IOS
APPS	4,00,000+	5,00,000+
DEVICES	HUNDREDS	14
NETWORS	4G	HSPA+
CLOUD NETWORK	3rdparty  APPS	ICLOUD

THE RACE!!
The race between GOOGLE and APPLE is competitive enough and a learning for all those struggles in life over the world. The god of internet GOOGLE has launched its OS – ANDROID which has hit the market and pushed IOS back to very extent. No wonder APPLE is the brand name and you can blindly trust the APPLE products. But off course the brand followers are the rich ones who have the money at their finger tips. Considering the fact that the ratio of the rich to average people are 1: 4 Google the master mind did its job silently and grabbed the market. 

* In just 2 years ANDROID store has 350k APPS.
* Hundreds of devices and still more are opting ANDROID as it is not more expensive than those 200k devices used for the same purpose.
* The VOICE RECOGNITION pattern in IOS devices is natural voice encryption but ANDROID has command encryption voice recognition.
* The ICLOUD feature in IOS is remarkably excellent. You have to use equivalent third party software/app for the purpose- (DROPBOX is trying its best to make the same available)
* Google search is limited for ANDROID users. Other search engines like bing, yahoo are not available to them (not at all a big issue).
* ANDROID APP store is vast but not as vast as the APPLE store. Here APPLE wins the race. But in no time Google will take over here also.

So what’s the count folks??

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ANGRY BIRDS?

No doubt the best entertaining source has made remarkable number of users and fans around the world. Its origin also came from ANDROID (huh! +1 for android here too)

IOS has gained reputation from IPHONE 4S which encouraged the people and their demands- for the same reason IPHONE 5 is most awaited after STEVE JOBS death. The pre-booked count for I phone 5 is enormous. Thus the race can be referred as the race between the two most renowned personalities LARRY PAGE and STEVE JOBS.  Moreover IOS has to provide $4.5b Google revenue.

You can make your job easier by the voice recognition service. You offer them to call your friend by their name and the job is done. The natural voice recognition is provided by IOS devices not by ANDROID devices (+1 for APPLE)
you can set your alarm, save your files, set the password in just no time – that’s the power of voice control system. Also the Google app inventor helps you to write your own apps which is much convenient. This is not available for other OS.

The developers however prefer to make IOS apps as they have already been stabilized in the market ad will be much difficult for them to switch over. So the new developers have their chances to prove them. The competition is on its rise. According to the developers the ANDROID apps are less complicated and have improved features which take nerves to do so in IOS.

So now the task is yours to decide which is better?

How You Can Sell Your Phone for Cash

It seems like everybody with a cell phone has at least five or six old ones laying around. They collect dust in drawers, sit in glove compartments, and lay around the bottom of bags and purses. Most people's old phones don't go unused because they don't work- they're just no longer up-to-date. This doesn't have to happen to you, though. With a little bit of effort, you can sell your phone for cash, and cut down on old phone clutter in your home.

Cell phone companies upgrade their selections constantly. This is great, if you're the kind of person who likes having access to all of the latest and greatest gadgets, but is less great if your old phone breaks, and you don't like the selection of newer generation models. A lot of people fall into this latter category. If you have an old cell phone to get rid of, you can sell your phone for cash, and help these people out at the same time.

Part of the problem with phone companies is that they sell people on the idea that their old phones aren't any good, and aren't worth anything. This is absolutely not true, and you shouldn't let that keep you from trying to sell your phone for cash. As long as it's clean, in decent external condition, and in working order, your old phone has value to someone. If someone out there is willing to buy your old phone, why shouldn't you sell it to them instead of letting it sit around and become outdated?

It's easy to sell your phone for cash, too. Unlike newspaper classifieds, which cost money, don't give you much visibility, don't target your ads to a specific audience, and charge a lot of money if you want to include a photo of the phone you're selling, the internet gives you the chance to get rid of your old, unwanted phone in a way that's as effective as it is simple. There are a growing number of websites out there that let you turn old phones into money, and all you need to so is come up with a concise description of what you're selling, take some good, well-lit photos that accurately show your phone's external condition, and be ready to ship it out to the buyer as soon as you sell your phone.

Unlike taking ads out in other areas, using a site that helps you sell your phone for cash is cheap- in many cases, it doesn't cost any money upfront. Some sites just charge you a small fee after you find a buyer for your phone, or take a percentage of the sale price in order to cover what they pay in bandwidth and money transfer fees. You get cash money transferred to your account, you get rid of your old phone, and your buyer gets the phone they want. Everybody wins!

Even if you find out that you can't sell your phone for cash like you'd hoped, don't give up! Many of the same sites that let you list your old phones for sale also allow you to send your phone in for recycling, or to be donated to a charitable institution. Many people don't realize that, while using cell phones is completely safe, many of them contain materials that need to be disposed of as hazardous materials, especially batteries and certain screens. Therefore, simply throwing your old phone away if you can't sell your phone for cash isn't just wasteful, it's a bad idea. If you can't find someone to use it as-is, recycling your phone will ensure that none of the hazardous components end up in a landfill, where they don't belong.

If you're sitting on some old or discontinued phones, you're sitting on a potential gold mine. Why wait for your phone company to discount their latest and greatest phone, when you could get money to put towards it by selling your old ones? When you sell your phone for cash, you help yourself, your buyer, and the environment by keeping a perfectly good old phone from going to waste. Don't wait- turn your unwanted junk into cash today.

Why One May Want To Unlock iPhone 3G

With the current number of network operators hitting the skies, it is possible that the trends in the telecommunication industry have taken new forms. Talk of market behaviors, sales techniques and even service delivery; all have now transformed into forms that are very incognizant by one, a few years earlier on. Well, this is just but the truth however; the centre of concern here is the trend of mobile locking. It is almost a trend to purchase some handset only to realize they can’t work with one’s network service provider settings. This is really nothing to raise eyebrows at, let alone broiling over: but yes, there has to some way about it.

One may have had similar cases with their iphone 3G but didn’t know what to do - but for the smarter ones, they at least tried to find possible ways to unlock iphone 3G handsets from experts. Whichever the experience, it is quite handy to outline the reasons which may warrant one into entertaining the thoughts of trying to unlock iphone 3G –enabled handsets. Well, not all people may want to unlock their iphone however, for those who have taken bold strides in doing so, they usually do this out of the possibilities of being tied down to one network or even after relocating into a new country where the network settings are not compatible to those supported by their handsets. These are just but the main theories revolving about unlocking an iphone 3G.

The possibilities of one trying to unlock their phone may be barred by the negative ideologies usually surrounding such thoughts. Without having the consideration that phone-locking prevents people from a lot of features and utilities, certain individuals usually associate this to a vice rather than a convenience. In a psychological perspective, one may deem themselves free from the chains of a certain network operator after unlocking their iphone, as may be they really don’t like the services provided by them. Reasons may vary from one person to another however, it all goes down to the basic features one may wish supported by their iphone.

Unlike the bad reputation the act of unlocking has been associated with, such as hacking, it is quite beneficial and must be encouraged but done in a very professional and integral way. In actual sense, the benefits realized by unlocking an iphone are just immeasurable and can’t be really ignored or even worse off, neglected.

So what is a HEPA Filter?

All of the top of the range filration systems today have a HEPA filter and we mostly all know that it’s a positive benefit, but do we truly understand what it does? It’s considered the contemporary apex of vacuum cleaner tech and the only way to improve on one HEPA filter kit is to have two working at once. Let’s take a critical look at this advanced piece of tech to get an idea of what they offer us as far as home cleaning and technology is concerned.

The Definition of a HEPA Filter

The High-Efficiency Particle Air filter, or HEPA filters, are effective in vacuum cleaners but are also used in industries such as pharmaceutical cleanliness, cars, planes and residential units. For a HEPA vacuum filter to be considered efficienct enough to qualify to standard they need to remove around 99.97% of items smaller than 0.3 millimetres. The DOE of America set this precidence but how that exact percentage is measured is anyone’s guess; when we’re talking about removing dust though, it’s a welcomed figure. A HEPA filter cleaning precedence is also achieved according to exact indoor parameters along with its ability to remove minute debris.

How a HEPA Filter Works

HEPA air filters are made up of a matte of arbitrarily arranged fibres which are typically made up of fibreglass and possess distances of aroujnd 0.5 and 2.0 micrometres. HEPA filter vacuum cleaners are meant to target incredibly small particles and harmful material; more so than the average filter and the ability to do this is dictated by three aspects. The three stages of a HEPA filter, be it on an air purifier or a vacuum cleaner, are all handled simultaneously; there is the interception phase when minute debris pieces follow a single air stream within one area of a fibre and stick to it, the impaction phase where larger minute objects are incapable of navigating the curved bends of the passing air flow and are cornered into a wedge locking them inside the filter and finally the diffusion phase is the marrying of the two above phases to heighten the possibility that any trailing particles are caught.

Universal HEPA Filter Functions

The HEPA filter comes in many classes all designating the effectiveness of their practical use and serve to illustrate their usage depending on the need. The seminal HEPA filter was developed at the same time as the atomic bomb, in order to curb the distribution of flying radioactive debris. Although the technology is somewhat older than one would expect, it’s only in recent years that its function in vacuum cleaners has been used. Either way the HEPA filter has many functions for use in modern cleanliness.

BlueStacks - Play all the android apps on your Windows PC

Feel the android flavor right on your computer. Recently, Silicon Valley-based Company called "BlueStacks" recently released an application for playing android apps on Computer which they call as "app player". It is a PC program (.exe file) that enables users to download Android apps & games directly or transfer them from your Android phone to PC.

You need to do NOTHING to android app to make it work in BlueStacks – the app will run as is.

I myself am using this software & trust me; this will make your day! Play all your favourite games on your PC. I’m thinking of making my PC as my phone! Well that’s a future idea for all mobile brands.

Cost?

Nothing. They say they want to build the best possible product for their users for free.

Also, if you use apps which are designed for a tablet, you’ll get the same kind of app functionality on the PC. Now that sounds cool as well.

BlueStacks actually gives the Android crowd, device functionality on PC and puts the Android a step ahead of crowds of Windows & of Apple. Apple understands this trend and will soon merge the two app development platforms into a single one. Eventually, most, if not all, of its iOS apps will look and work the same on the iPhone, iPad and MacBook.

As for Microsoft, I'm uncertain if it even understands this concept.

For your knowledge, there are 200,000 plus Android apps already, it may not matter, since BlueStacks makes all of those work out of the box today.

So, if you have an Android phone or tablet and a Windows PC, check out BlueStacks.

In doing so, you just might get a glimpse of what the future of cross device apps will look like and how this could be a blueprint for the future of personal computing.

Such a nice & creative idea from Bluestack to make your Windows PC, a platform of Android.

As we say, Use IDM for downloading, here’s the download link for BLUESTACKS!

Instagram for Android? Yes, Please.

iPhone users have been enjoying the fun and functionality of Instagram for a while now, and Android users are about to see what all the hype is about. After months and months of waiting, Instagram became available for Android users on April 3, 2012.

What is Instagram?

Instagram is an application that allows for photo editing and photo sharing. Users can add filters to the pictures they take, making them look older or more vintage than the actual true image. Users can also share these images with other Instagram users, and like other social networking sites, users can post comments or "like" someone else's photos.
Though there are other photo editing and photo sharing apps available, Instagram is one of the most coveted. Instagram is a great app for people who enjoy taking pictures and playing around with different looks and styles through editing software. Many aspiring photographers use Instagram as a virtual portfolio, using the app as a way to showcase their artwork.
Instagram for Android

Instagram has been one of the most popular apps purchased from Apple's app store for a very long time, and many Android users wanted it for their devices. Instagram was recently made available to Android users on the Google Play store, and users downloaded the app like it was going out of style. Instagram is available on Android smartphones that run 2.2 software and up. Currently, it will not run on any Android tablets.
With Instagram for Android, users can alter their photos the same way that Apple users can, and they can still view the images from others, but it doesn't contain all the functionalities that the Apple version does.
Google and Instagram wanted to launch the product quickly, so they held back a few key features, such as the sharing capabilities through email, Flickr and Posterous, as well as Blur and Tilt/Shift features. Some other complaints have been that the in-app camera doesn't work very well, and users have to use the stock Android camera instead. This is a problem because the stock Android camera does not produce images in the same format that is required to use the Instagram app.
Instagram plans on making updates to its software in the near future to take care of the issues that users are having as well as implement the features that are currently missing. Reps for Instagram have said that their goal is to make the user interface the same between both Android and iOS devices, and that users should never be able to tell the difference between the two.
Though Instagram for Android may be lacking a few functionalities and may have a few tweaks that need to be addressed, most of the customer reviews found on Google Play are positive. Android users are happy to now have the photo editing tool that was once only available on Apple devices, and users are also excited to join the thousands of individuals already using the app and see the millions of images currently available.

Ashley Cole is a stay at home mother and frequent Instagram user who loves to write for blogs in her down time. She rarely writes without the help of a grammar checker and often uses the software to spot mistakes and problems she didn't even know were in her text. She is currently masterminding a kitchen remodeling project and wants a more transitional kitchen design.

Micromax's new tablet-Funbook

As we know Mircomax introduced an affordable latest tablet on Tuesday, a 7-inch touch screen with latest Android ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) based tablet in just Rs. 6499/-.The most awaited tablet from Micromax mobile company has paved its way to serve our country. Micromax has also jumped into Tablet market after introducing its very first tablet called MICROMAX FUNBOOK.This is a very cool device for students and we can call it future of education. 

This tablet is targeted towards youth (especially k-12 students), because this device is specially designed for students. Micromax is giving a strong competition to other companies by its new tablet. There are also more tablets in the market recently launched HCL. There are also giant brands like iball, hp, spice and many other companies in the tablet market but Mircromax funbook gives competition from its very latest features and configuration. Micromax’s funbook includes installed apps which can use as study material as well you can access video & audio in many different formats.

Latest ICS (Android Ice Cream Sandwich) doesn’t need the front buttons and this makes a tablet cool and attractive but Micromax's device was not originally intended to run on Android 4.0 and the software upgrade was thought of later taking note of the interest in the latest version of Google's mobile operating system. Sometimes it is a bit awkward to find two sets of buttons, one on the screen and other on the body to perform exactly the same functions. But the advantage of having the hard buttons is that they are easier to access than their tiny on-screen buttons. But Micromax should have given adding touch buttons a thought, which could have been an added feature for the customer to buy it.

You can use Wi-Fi and USB dongle to surf the net. The 2800 mAh battery gives, according to Micromax, a browsing time of about 5 hours. I had been using the device intermittently (on WiFi) for this review and it ran out of battery in a little more than 4 hours.There are lots of apps already installed. 1000 movies installed by micromax.

Here you can have a look at the specifications of this device
1.22GHz Cortex A8 Processor- Quite good

Dual Mali - 400 2D/3 GPU - Okay

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich- Great

Display: (7-inch) capacitive- Good

Camera: 0.3 Fronts VGA- Okay for video calling

Memory: 4GB internal; Expandable 32GB micro SD - Satisfactory

512MB RAM- Okay

Media support: 1080p video; MPEG2/4, AVI, WMV, MOV (also supports MKV, FLV, MP3)- Good

Sensors: Gravity, accelerometer- Satisfactory

Battery: 2800mAh; 5 hours of browsing time-Okay

Connectivity: 3G dongle support via USB; HDMI out; Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g; USB 2.0- Good

Colors available for this device
This device is available in two colors: 

•        Suave Silver, and
•     Brilliant Black.

Why to buy?
The plus points for this tablet are:

•       Price: - pricing is so affordable for any one it just 6499/- INR
•      Views: - it is stylish and attractive 
•      Weight: - its light weight and slip tablet
•      Power: - you can browse 5hr.

Why not to buy?
The minus points for funbook are:

• Charger: - There is no specific standard charger for charging the tablet and its seem very odd.
• It’s hard to carry some looking chains equipment for charging the tablet.
• Usb port: - there is no micro usb port for using and its essential requirement of any tablet

The Funbook will be made available through 100,000 retail outlets across 50 cities in India.
