The transition will slowly start by porting several crucial services such as messaging and groups, but through the passing of time other important components like voice, screen share and channels will soon find their way. On top of all things, the company feels so strong about the move that wishes to make Messenger available for free. The rather sad part in the whole story is that only iOS 6 and devices running at least Android 4....
To be a bestseller, and still not be considered a hit The keyword to be noted here is “perception.” While sales do matter most, constant negativity in the media (traditional as well as social) about a device can make many think of it as a failure. It is not the worst place to be in – “I would rather have a phone that some hated and everyone bought it, rather than the other way around,” former Motorola and Lenovo Mobility Sudhin Mathur had once remarked to us after a launch....
Windows Phone vs Android, iOS For example, Nokia, has produced some amazing Windows Phone models, but regardless of the fact it has been selling a lot of cell-phones in the entire world, it has been somehow excluded from the United States for years now, so iPhone and Android platforms have eaten up all the market space. Customers did not bother to take into account Symbian, Maemo or MeeGo when going to the shop and purchasing a smartphone....
A recent report has revealed that Samsung is gaining positive numbers only in the US and the UK. The Korean giant faced a startling downfall mostly in China and Italy with intent numbers in Germany and Australia. Unsurprisingly, the crucial factor affecting their growth is the stiff competition being offered by Huawei which has been doing astonishingly well especially in China thanks to their impressive releases in the past couple of months....
We’ve already lost count of how many new Chinese companies are entering the Indian market, but it’s no wonder, as the country is somewhat close to China and India is also the world’s third largest and the fastest growing smartphone market. And even if Coolpad doesn’t ring a bell, you should know that this company was once the biggest smartphone vendor in China, but it didn’t manage to keep up with the strong and mature competition coming from other companies....
For, make no mistake about it, if all that you want is a briskly-performing camera app with a decent feature set, then Google Camera is pretty much your best option. It is a 14.87 MB download and comes with no price tag attached, like all Google Android apps. And well if it is turn of speed that you seek in a camera, then this is the app for you – we tried it out on the Galaxy S5 (yes, a review of that will be coming, do be patient), and it certainly seemed to start up significantly faster than the default camera app....
The best part is that one can also toggle other controls, for instance by speaking “next line” the cursor will shift to the next line, and the same holds good for punctuation as well. As of now, the Dictate supports 20 languages and real-time text translation for up to 60 languages. The Dictate was initially built during the Microsoft Hackathon which had seen more than 1,500 Microsoft employees participating in it....
When I signed up to write for TechPP, you folks told me that my job was to cover gossip in the tech world. To come out with information that was not available through official channels – the leaks (I still do not like the term…it is so…urinary), the rumors (which are actually different from leaks), the job movements and so on. And well, for a few months I have been trying to do that....
Update: Firefox 9 is now officially released. You can check for the update within the browser or read below to manually download. Firefox 9 will be released officially anytime now, but for the impatient souls like me, Mozilla has made available the final version of Firefox 9 on their FTP servers. As with Firefox 7 & Firefox 8, there are no notable changes to the user interface. The onus is on the performance this time around....
Like the Xiaomi and YU devices, the Lenovo A6000 remains an online exclusive, and has been selling out in seconds on Flipkart. The reason is not difficult to find: it offers staggeringly good specs for its price – a 5.0-inch 720p HD display, a quad core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz, with 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage (expandable up to 32 GB), an 8.0-megapixel camera at the rear and a 2....
The Yoga Book, now, is rather different. It hits you as being different from the moment you clap eyes on it. Because for one, it is incredibly compact. It is about slightly larger than a regular magazine and at 690 grams, is only slightly heavier than the original iPad. At 9.6 mm, it is almost a third thinner than that worthy – and at 4.55 mm thin when opened, thinner than anything we have ever seen in mobile techland!...
We first learned about the Apple App Accelerator in 2018 when we met some Indian iOS developers who were preparing for WWDC 2018. With WWDC 2022 only about a month away, we met some new app developers who are building apps in a variety of genres, from engaging games to productivity apps to music apps and more. What is Apple App Accelerator? Before we look at the apps, here is a brief overview of Apple’s App Accelerator program, which is currently set up only in Bangalore....
When Xiaomi’s Hugo Barra says that about a device, you would expect it to refer to one of his own company’s phones, or perhaps one of the high-profile Androids in tech town. But nay, the device he was referring to was from the company that many of his brethren consider THE enemy. It was an iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone vs Android relationship has been at best a rocky one....
CamCard Starting off with an iOS utility app called “CamCard”. As the name suggests, it allows you capture accurate images of business cards and manage them in a single place. In addition to that, CamCard supports nineteen languages, hence, it can read and recognize most cards out there. App Store Link Sutoroku Icons Next up – Sutoroku icon pack for Android users. The package brings a rather playful set of over 2500 icons that breathe a new life into your phone....
So when there’s a gadget in your home to which anyone including kids and guests can shout and ask questions, it does raise some concerns about its sources and integrations. Well, until today there wasn’t any information about how Google Home will handle multiple users but a new finding by the good folks at ComputerWorld has discovered that might alter your buying decisions. Also Read: Five Exciting Features of the New Google Home There are currently, though, two ways out of this – You can either go into your account settings, remove the queries others asked one-by-one or disable connection with your private matters such as emails altogether....
We thought LG and Google stopped producing the Nexus 5 back in November of last year. And it did make sense, since the massive Nexus 6 was already out and Google would be just following its usual cycle of discounting a flagship Nexus device one year after it’s been launched. However, in the beginning of the previous month, we’ve seen the handset being relisted on the Google Play Store, featuring the same price....
The Nexus 6P looks to change lots of notions that we had of the Nexus range. Be it the price, the build quality or the ability of the camera to match other flagships and that is the reason why we believe it will be a game changer – and one of them is to start a premium flagship war. Nexus 6P is a very well designed phone coming from a new vendor – Huawei – who have added a touch of uniqueness in many ways....

“Ideally, you should go for the 3 GB / 32 GB version. You get more storage…” “The storage is not an issue. It takes a memory card. Does the RAM make a huge difference?” “Well, 3 GB is always better…” “Yes, but my friend has the Moto G (3rd generation) and her husband has the Nexus 5X. Both are running fine with 2 GB RAM. Why should I pay extra for the 3 GB version?...
But vShare, a pirated app store has recently figured out a way to bypass those security hoops letting them create a giant store of fake/pirated iPhone apps, even for non-jailbroken iPhones. According to researchers at ProofPoint, Apple lets companies create their own applications that are solely used by their employees. The company has to pay $299 an year to get a special licensed certificate from Apple and these companies join the Apple Developer Enterprise program....
