Flight Attendants from United to Get iPhone 6 Plus

Besides getting some pretty awesome travel perks, 23,000 flight attendants from United Airlines will also be outfitted with Apple’s latest iPhone 6 Plus sometime during 2015. This move is designed to be another step in the airline becoming “paperless” and making things run that much more smoothly while in the air. Flight attendants will be able to use the iPhone to perform retail transactions, to read their emails (work related, of course), view the calendar, etc. United is also reportedly preparing to make the policy manual for flight attendants accessible via the iPhone in the near future, thereby saving that much extra space in the cabin.
Flight Attendants From United To Get iPhone 6 Plus
I’m a bit surprised that more airlines haven’t attempted to do this sort of thing earlier with the advancement in smartphone/tablet technology over the past few years. It seems things would be much more efficient than with pen and paper methods. (Many pilots have been given iPads, though).

Now you can watch your favourite YouTube videos even offline




Google on Thursday announced the new offline feature for it’s video community service Youtube that allows users to download videos to their Android device for later consumption when without usable network connectivity. That means you can watch youtube videos offline (Without internet connection). Google had already made the announcement about this feature 2 months ago, and now Google has finally started rolling out the offline viewing feature to users of its YouTube Android. But wait , there’s bad news for most of our readers: it’s only available on Android devices in India, Indonesia or the Philippines for now. Google, In it’s official blog , did not mention when this feature will be available worldwide but we can say that the wait is not going to be so long.
Offline mode was first announced by Google India representatives at the Android One global launch event earlier this year. They had promised a year-end time frame for the feature’s introduction.

How to watch Youtube videos offline ?

The question is how can we watch Youtube videos offline ? without internet connection ?
In countries like India and Indonesia, The internet speed is very bad if we compare to other countries so this new feature can be helpful to watch videos without buffering .
This feature allows youtube users to temporarily store videos offline to watch later during short periods no internet connectivity. For videos where this feature is available, users can choose to add the video for offline viewing by tapping on the offline icon located under the video frame.
youtube-offline
As Google mentioned in its blog , videos can be played back without an internet connection for 48 hours once taken offline. it adds that a large part of popular YouTube content in India is already available for users to view offline, including video content from labels like T-Series, Saregama and Yashraj Films.  Content owners can choose if they want to opt to allow offline viewing for their media.
To download videos users can simply tap on the offline icon (a down array symbol) that sits under the video frame and select the desired quality. The icon will be visible only against videos that have offline viewing enabled.

Guy Bought 99 iPhones to Propose & Got Turned Down

Who knew there was such a thing as Single’s Day? (Props to you if you did know that!) Apparently it’s
celebrateddreaded in China on November 11th. Unfortunately, one Chinese man is going to be remembering this Single’s Day for the rest of his life. Deciding he didn’t want to be single anymore, he decided to propose to his girlfriend before the unfortunate “holiday” could visit him again. And this particular man spent a ton of money just to pop the question – and I’m not even talking about an engagement ring. He went out and bought 99 iPhone 6’s, set them up like a gigantic heart, and proposed to his girlfriend inside of the iPhone heart. Unfortunately, love was not in the air, and she said no. I hope all those iPhone 6’s were still within the return period, because the heartbroken guy spent somewhere in the ballpark of $82,000. And no, I have no idea what he planned on doing with the iPhones if she’d said yes. So if you think you’re having a bad day, just look at the photo below.

iPhone 6 Can Play 4K Videos, Who Knew?

Apple are notoriously tight lipped when it comes to their products.  In fact when leaks or mistakes do occur, the company tends to come down on the individuals responsible with an iron fist.  Either that or they turn spin the issue into a part of their Keynote speech! When a product is released though, the guys at Cupertino tend to make a large noise about how good their products are. They also give full specifications during the Keynote presentations at the product launch. Apple have, it seems, failed to mention that iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be able to play 4K videos.
It has been reported by Tuaw.com that the developers of the WALTR video upload app discovered this great news whilst testing their app. At the moment you are not able to transfer 4K files using iTunes. If you want to transfer this kind of file then you will have to use an alternative service to get transfer them to the new model iPhones.
The quality of the media will be limited by the screen resolution, so I guess the larger and higher screen resolution iPhone 6 Plus is a better device for viewing 4K videos than the iPhone 6.
Although the iPhone 6 can’t shoot 4K video, it is a pretty cool feature. Because of this and wild rumours that the iPhone 7 will be getting a camera boost, (it may allow shooting in 4K video), Apple appear to not be touting this is a main feature of their flagship device.
With the new iMac Retina 5K display,  it is pretty clear that Apple is looking to higher resolutions in their products.

Texting Really Hurts Your Spine!

We’ve heard about the dangers of texting for years now. At first, some people complained about text messages, saying that they were a cheap replacement for phone calls and were highly unprofessional and impersonal. There were those who didn’t believe texting would ever really catch on. I needn’t have to argue that texting is incredibly popular now, and that it’s probably more popular than ever; as such, health experts are warning us of another potential problem of constant texting – spinal issues. That’s correct – a back surgeon from New York has done all kinds of research on the subject, and he’s convinced that the way we normally text, by looking down at our phones, exerts around 60 pounds of additional force on our heads. Given the fact that many Americans spend somewhere in the ballpark of an hour a day texting anyone and everyone, over time, that pattern can really have a damaging impact on the spine. If left unchecked, it can ultimately lead to back surgeries, etc. Texting Really Hurts Your Spine!
I realized people texted a lot, but I must admit I never thought it could lead to spinal problems. And then, I stumbled across a special on the subject while watching the news the other day. It appears the only way one can “safely” text is by holding the phone directly across from your face, without angling your head whatsoever.
How long do you spend texting each day? Have you suffered any spinal problems directly related to texting? If so, please tell us about them in the comments section below. It will be interesting to see how common this problem really is!

Best Budget Tablets For Under $350

When it comes to tablets, you are absolutely spoilt for choice. Even if you are on a tight budget, there are plenty of options for you but it’s important to bear in mind that for under $350 (or £200), the choice is narrowed and you are certainly not going to get anything near the quality of an iPad Air for instance. However, there are some great options so you should be able to get a tablet that suits you and your budget. What’s key is to get the best specs you can for the money, i.e. storage, screen size, pixel density, processor power and battery life. Here are our pick of the top 8 budget tablets; they are all based on a budget of just over $300 or under (that’s £200 or under).


8. Asus MeMo Pad 8

This 8-inch tablet is the same brand that was behind the Nexus 7. It is well-built and reasonably fast, with 16GB, which can be boosted to 64GB with a microSD. If you are looking for a straight forward device then this could be the right one for you. However it is no where near as good as the Nexus 7 and is not ideal if you want to watch videos.
 

7. Archos 80 Titanium


For the money this is a good tablet and don't be put off by the fact that it runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean because despite the older version of Google's OS, you still get a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-inch HD display, front and rear cameras and a microSD slot. Although it doesn't look as good as some of its rivals, this no frills tablet will perform all your basic tasks.


6. Acer Iconia A1


If you are looking to use your new tablet to surf the internet, watch videos and use social networking sites, then this is a great budget tablet. It is just unfortunate that it doesn't have a microSD slot.

5. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7


You would be forgiven for thinking that the Kindle Fire HDX 7 was an actual Amazon tablet but it's not - it's Android. However, Amazon has practically rebuilt it thus allowing you instant access to all of its services like eBooks and LoveFilm. Of course it can also be used for browsing the internet. If you don't mind the limited user interface then this would be a good choice.


4. Advent Vegra Tegra Note 7


Unlike most 7-inch tablets, the Advent Vegra Tegra Note 7 comes with a stylus and sports a powerful Tegra 4 chip, which is fantastic for gaming. The front-facing speakers also provide good sound quality for all your tunes, while the excellent screen and decent battery life help it to compete with any of the budget tablets that are on offer.


3. Tesco Hudl


Priced at just over $150 (just over £100), Tesco's Hudl is a steal. I still find it bizarre that a supermarket has its own brand of tablet but when you look at the specs, that shouldn't put you off. It has a good-quality 7-inch screen, with sharp display and ample storage. It comes complete with a microSD slot and a micro-HDMI port, something which most of the other budget tablets don't offer. I think this is a great choice if you are on a really tight budget.

 

2. LG G Pad 8.3


The LG G Pad 8.3 not surprisingly has an 8.3-inch screen that is full HD. Running on Android Jelly Bean, it sports a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB. What makes this stand out from some of the others is the metal finish, which give it the look and feel of a premium tablet, even if you aren't paying a premium price.

1. Nexus 7


This is by the far the best tablet in its category. With a great design, good quality screen and rear camera, it really is the best budget tablet on the market. It has a pixel density of 323ppi, resulting in a stunning display that rivals that of the iPad Mini 2. It sports a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core Krait processor and 2GB of memory. The excellent build quality really makes you feel like you have got more tablet for your money.

HTC Desire 620


The HTC Desire 620 has been authoritatively declared in Taiwan – HTC’s nation of origin. HTC has recently made the supposed Desire 620 authority. So the following cell phone in HTC’s Desire arrangement – you know, the particular case that’s about the “everything else” in “leads, transporter marked gadgets, and everything else” – is by all accounts the new HTC Desire 620. The organization has advertised the gadget in its nation of origin Taiwan, and it will be accessible in 3g and LTE variations. The new handset has two forms: the Desire 620 (emphasizing LTE integration and a 64-bit quad-center Snapdragon 410 processor timed at 1.2 Ghz), and the Desire 620g (this one doesn’t help LTE, and is controlled by a 1.3 Ghz octa-center Mediatek Mt6592 processor). Distinctive chipsets aside, the 620 and 620g offer the same set of peculiarities, including: a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, double SIM abilities, 8 MP back camera, 5 MP front-confronting camera, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of expandable storage room, and a 2100 mAh battery. Both handsets run Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Sense 6 UI.
591e8136f6cea98944762e0d32bbbc30b9cb39e6
The Desire 620 is relied upon to go marked down in Taiwan on December 1, while the Desire 620g ought to be discharged in mid-December. The Snapdragon model expenses $225 (6,990 TWD), while the Mediatek one will be less expensive: $160 (4,990 TWD). Bulgarian site Nixanbal.com figured out how to get its involved it and introduced the gadget for whatever is left of us. The first article has been pulled down from the media, yet a stored rendition is still accessible. The gadget, which shows up retail-prepared and could be affirmed soon, offers an all-plastic form. What’s more in the event that you look greatly hard, you may detect the double front-confronting speakers that beautify the top and base bezels.
Despite the fact that it’s a long ways from the HTC One (M8’s) power and enchantment in all divisions, the Desire 620 is getting down to business as an issue low mid-reach advertising. When we surveyed the HTC Desire 510, which is a considerably lower-situated model, we needed to note the telephone ran easily and didn’t experience much difficulty with scanning or gaming. So the 620’s execution ought to be okay, in any event hypothetically.

Wire – a new app by Skype’s Co-Founder

 

Janus Friis, Co-Founder, Skype, rolled a new communication app “Wire”, which is available now for iOS, Android and Mac. The new app “Wire” contains in itself most of the aspects that users don’t pay attention to – advanced file sharing (compression and delivery), media processing and several other units which have been bought to us. Wire packs in it a clean, nothing of “not-in-use” simple design which will likely gather attention of wide mass of users.
Skype is no doubt on of the leading and trusted application when it comes to user end, but however, the technology it uses is quite old for now. Call quality issues, synchronization, connectivity problems are forever pertinent problems which still have no certain solution!
Wire Screenshot on Mac
Skype was launched more than a decade ago. A lot has changed since then – we are all used to free calls and texting, and we have taken to carrying our computers in our pockets,” said Friis in a statement about Wire’s launch.
To be honest, Wire is not the only attempt at bringing out a new technology for communication. Even the team Skype at Microsoft rebuilt on its take on a modern Skype with a new app called Qik, which was launched recently.
The team behind Wire is strong though, with people having deep background in communications. In addition, including people who worked previously with Apple, Skype, Nokia and Microsoft.
Janus Friis  and Niklas Zennstrom
Jonathon Christensen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder behind Wire, has been in Internet communication for 15 years and previous records include his works on MSN Messenger and Lync at Microsoft. Ahan, not stopped yet. Later on, being Co-founded audio processing software company namely Camino Network, which was later acquired by Skype.
Co-Founder Alan Duric also co-founded Camino Network, as well as Telio, a VoIP company similar to Vonage. Priido Zilmer, who previously led design teams at Vdio and Skype, led the product design at Wire.
Also, Wire’s Chief Scientist Koen Vos created the audio compression format SILK and co-created the audio coding format OPUS.
The question is still between an abyss and sea: Is Wire a replacement for Skype?Skype Logo
Well, No.
^Not for today though.
The application is available for both mobile and desktop. It provides the utility of sharing text, pictures, GIFs, HD audio and other rich media, including contents from SoundCloud and YouTube. But the problem arises when it comes to the sharing of videos. Yes, it lacks video sharing support. Neither for real-time video chats or saved recordings.
The company plans to add the feature as soon as possible along with including the support for HTML5 and several other #premium features which will be available after user payments.
Wire Application on Smartphones
The most interesting feature of the Wire app is its “elegant” design, which is the matter of appeal for younger users as well as non-technical users. With the provision to use gesture based controls, the feature adds to the beauty of the app use. Most likely gesture uses are swiping up and down the screen for contact lists, etc.
Although several users may not find this more interesting, the app gives the usage tutorial after installation for further usage.
The focus this time is on the usage of the app, file sharing and messaging; rather than the app itself which holds on to user’s priority, almost disappearing in the background.The app also has smart features, for example; it sorts the contacts on the top by listing the ones at first which you interact with the most.
The company said no word for the amount of funding from Friis and Iconical.com ( a collection of engineers, executives and designers which serves as a new, non – VC model for investments including Aether (Cone), Rdio, Vivino, Vicarious and others.).
We looks at every single aspect of the landscape,” said Christensen. “We had the context and history having been in this for quite a long time and having seen the pain points,” he says. “We took all of them apart, rebuilt them the way they should be built…we hope.”

Transparent Like a Glass But Still a Phone




It’s been the dream for years and years: transparent computer displays, and transparent phones. We’ve seen them over and over in sci-fi, and we’ve seen plenty of device render concepts, but this is the first real prototype that we’ve seen in real life. The key to it is the transparent display that has been developed by Taiwan-based Polytron Technologies. Some existing phones, like the LG GD900, have transparent parts, but so far no one’s created one with a completely see-through body. Part of the problem is that the electrodes in the typical lithium-ion batteries found in today’s gadgets aren’t transparent. All they have so far is a very very early prototype, almost just a proof-of-concept, but the team expects to have a more fully functioning prototype with working software by the end of the year. You’ll also notice that the device isn’t 100% transparent, because some components – the battery, SD card, and microphones – simply can’t be made transparent right now. Still, it’s a pretty cool start.Ads by Sense1
Polytron Technologies has named this concept Switchable Glass’ technology. In Switchable Glass technology a conductive OLED screen uses liquid crystal molecules to display text and images. The screen uses electric current to align these molecules into images on screen. The result is a screen which is completely transparent, but is still able to show clear, color pictures. Polytron told Mobile Geeks that a completed device would have touchscreens on the front and back, and hidden microphones and speakers, and in future maybe even transparent batteries. A similar project is also being pursued by Mobiado, the luxury phone maker, and Aston Martin, the luxury car maker, in collaboration are trying to co-create phones. The first prototype they’ve shown is a stunning transparent Android phone. The Mobiado concept phone is called CTP002 is basically one big, transparent sapphire glass with two titanium edges on the left and right. The glass is a color capacitive touchscreen. We know it’s only a concept and from a technical standpoint it seems all but impossible, but the Mobiado CTP002 is a joy to behold.

Review: OPPO N3




Oppo N3
Appearance:
The phone has looks quite similar to its predecessor, Oppo N1. A big screen, rotating camera were some the bliss from N1. As the camera occupies a lot of space, the screen size of this phone is 5.5 inches, making it easier to hold it in one hand.
This model also features a notification light bar at the bottom; yes it is similar to Sony Xperia LT26 but the latter has been replaced with notification LED light commonl0y seen in android phones.

A Word on ‘Motorized’ Camera:
This is a great improve of the swivel camera as of Oppo N1. The drawback of rotating camera in Oppo N1 was that the user had to use their one hand to hold the phone and the other one to adjust the camera. This feature in OppoN3 has reduced this problem to an extent and has proved to be easier to use.

Second feature; you need not to hover around being a statue to provide stability OR fly high to capture a vast scene. The camera automatically scan the entire landscape and is enable you to take amazing snaps as tall as skyscrapers!
Having a motorized camera, photographic need can be filled up to a price. You can expand the field view of the camera as well as track down the objects. Coming down to lens; a 16MP camera with 1/ 2.3 sensor. However, one can take 64MP panoramic shots with a camera like this provided with a dual LED flash.
Interesting to note that Oppo has opened up the SDK for its camera app, so developer can add their taste to it.
OS, Internal hardware and Power:
Running on Android 4.4.2 KITKAT, powered by 2.3 GHz Quad-core (Krait 400) Snapdragon 801 processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM, you won’t notice any kinda lag, stutter… The OPPO’s COLOR OS UI v2.0 is also fun to use with. Also, the phone has Adreno 330 GPU, oh yea, get set gamers!
3000mAH Li-Po battery- that will surely last for hours giving you undisturbed experience of movie watching and gaming!
But, what about fingerprint scanner?
Oppo N3’s fingerprint scanner is not the type which demands a swipe with your finger. You need to press on it like a button and you’re done! The scanner is provided by ‘AuthenTec’, the hardware is similar to iPhone 5S. The scammer is sensitive and responds to quick touches.

You can lock apps on the phone using this scanner + Oppo stated that one can set up to five different fingerprints for this purpose, so installing apps like ‘Applocker’, etc. is out of the way now!
