THE NEXT BIG THING -'YOU'   The next generation of cool gadgets are here and they are  definitely

'Wearable tech:function with style'

          

                                 

At CES this year ,the buzz was all about pixels and next form factor of our daily drivers.Watches,glasses  bracelets and clothes are the things that most of us use daily and we wish that they could be more.More?yes ! ,imagine your watch being able to adjust your car temperature on a hot summer day before you hop in or a glass giving you turn by turn navigation (This is very real now). Wearable technology (also called wearable gadgets) is a category of smart devices that can be worn by a consumer and often include tracking information related to health and fitness. Other wearable tech gadgets include devices that have small motion sensors to take photos and sync with your  mobile devices.The field of wearable tech is an outcome of  'wearable computing'.Wearable computing is the study or practice of inventing, designing, building, or using miniature body-borne computational and sensory device.Seems like every major company is in a rat race for the next big thing. Just a google search of this topic will give us an insight into the pace at which the  tech  industry is competing .But it is clear that the the next big thing is  'YOU' .Soon our virtual and real worlds would be merged into a Smart world ( optimistic point of view) using augmented reality and smart material science. This video in the link Top 5 Wearable Tech! (Early 2014) :MKBHD should  give a small picture into the current scenario of this trend.

While the devices are undoubtedly conversation starters, and the look may be coveted in some circles, for the most part wearable technology has a fashion problem.But some are finally trying to break out of the gadget world and into the fashion world.The technology inside these devices is moving ahead while the design side stagnates. Sensors are getting smaller, cheaper and more advanced. It's possible that the technology will become so advanced that trackers could bypass the design problem altogether by shrinking down electronic elements enough that they can be invisibly embedded in regular clothing, hats, shoes and belts.For the most part, wearables offer a limited selection of the features already available on smartphones. The idea is to save people from the distracting task of pulling out a phone, looking at it, tapping on it and returning it safely to a pocket.
As for anything that is new there will always be people who hate or love this concept. But one thing is very clear that we cannot just ignore them.

 

Why samsung galaxy s duos will never get an official jelly bean update

      Yes,you read it right .Though this is not official ,below are the reasons that point that samsung will not update its younger cousin of the flagship 's' line up -the  s duos to jelly bean .

     S duos was announced in august 2012 and was expected to be a performer .But as they say 'Expectation leads to frustration' ,the device was laggy and underperformed .But everyone hoped that it will soon be updated to jelly bean 4.1. Samsung announced a list of devices that it will be updating and s duos was in that list .http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_announces_list_of_devices_that_will_get_jelly_bean-news-4853.php 
         But now its dec  2013 and there is no official wording on any 'jelly bean' and  samsung has announced the next duos -'' S duos 2'!!

This is a clear indication that s duos  users( including me ) are stuck with ICS and have to depend upon custom ROMs to get a taste of jelly bean. When S duos wan announced, it was launced in India @ a price of about 15k INR and now its available at a price of about 9k INR .This makes it clear that samsung want to sell out the device and leave its users in the darkness .
 But lets just hope that samsung 'might' provide an update ,else we have the option of rooting and installing custom ROMs.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS VS MICROMAX A89 NINJA

SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS VS MICROMAX A89 NINJA

    WHICH ONE TO PICK?

 

      This blog is for those of you who are tired of going through all the reviews and comparisons and still thinking -' which one to pic?'. But if u still want to go through the specs ,u go to the links given at the end of this blog.

Both the ninja and s duos have a similar design ,but s duos fells better in the hand an feels solidly built . Ninja on the other hand feels plastiky and cheap. Coming to the display ,the ninja's display with the same resolution comes no close to the crisp display of galaxy s duos. The touch response of s duos feels more fluidic  .Both the phones have an average readability in sunlight. The UI of ninja is  stock android .S duos runs on the 'touch wiz' skin seen on  other samsung devices . This makes the device slow on multitasking . Ninja has an upper hand over s duos because of its stock interface and it feels very fast. The camera of  s duos performs well in well light conditions whereas the pictures taken on ninja were grainy and the colors felt washed out.In dark conditions s duos performs better because of the presence of the LED flash . The video quality on s duos is good and that of ninja  is poor. When it comes to performance , ninja equipped with a dual core processor performs surprisingly fast .S duos lags on multitasking. The music quality on s duos is the best . Not only does the music sound crisp and clear ,but also the wide variety of equaliser options are a boon. The virtual 7.1 feature is a big USP of the device.Music on ninja lacks bass and the stock headphones provided are of poor quality.
