 This is going too crazy. Even though the smartwatch market barely exists, it seems that this place is going to be overcrowded before its even created. 

The idea of a smart watch was all started by apple's iWatch, and before we can get information about it, we have got many rumours of companies like Google, Samsung, LG and many other companies about making similar kind of devices.

Now, according to the latest report of the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft too is working on a design for a "touch enabled watch". This information was given by some executives of a company which supplies parts to Microsoft.

Even though the concept of the smart watch is not new, Many companies are getting on it. But hardly any devices in this segment can be termed as "Successful", except the recently launched Pebble smart watch.

The Pebble smartwatch uses Bluetooth to pair with an iOS or Android smartphone and once it’s done, the watch alerts the user for incoming calls, text messages, emails, etc. The smartwatch even comes with apps that can measure health metrics or golf strokes.

So, that means that we will get many smart watches in the near future but we have to see that will this be a success, or a big failure.






Some new rumors about the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S are surfacing today, this time with their origins being someone, somewhere in China. As the rumors spread, many are asking if anything passes for an industry source these days.
The rumors are saying that Apple is planning two new iPhone models sometime in 2013: an iPhone 5S that looks exactly like an iPhone 5 and a new iPhone 6 which will boast a 5-inch touchscreen display. There are indications that the iPhone 6 would come in a very thin and light body too.

The rumors were first reported by MacRumors after a posting on the Chinese site Laoyaoba.com was translated by Brightwire. The source supposedly saw new iPhone models at an Apple supplier in China. Here's the Brightwire translation of the some of the pertinent details released in a Sina Weibo report about the anonymously sourced report, which ended up on Laoyaoba.com.
  • A source told Chinese mobile phone information site Laoyaoba.com that he has seen the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 at Apple's suppliers. Both models may be released in 2013, according to the website's microblog on Thursday evening.
  • The source noted that the iPhone 5S resembles the iPhone 5, and the five-inch iPhone 6 is lighter and thinner.
Don't rejoice about Apple releasing their version of the Galaxy Note yet. As you can see, the chain of translation, reporting, and reposting obscures the entirely unknown source of the first report, which 9to5mac has traced down to a non-news-affiliated microblog that is part of the Laoyaoba.com site. While 9to5mac concedes that there have been prototypes of a larger-screen iPhone (somewhat reliable reports have it at 4.7-inches), it's a bad idea to take this uncorroborated report very seriously.
If something comes out that backs up this rumor, though, we'll definitely find out and report it to you. And keep in mind some releases start out as rumors, like the recent 128GB iPad that we reported before Apple announced it.
So keep following us for more on the next products Apple has in store.





Samsung has done an excellent job of keeping us in the dark regarding the forthcoming Galaxy S IV launch dates, but the folks over at SamMobile seem to have locked in an announcement date of March 15.
However, previous reports suggesting that the Galaxy S IV would be available in stores by mid-April may not be dead-on. According to SamMobile’s sources, Europe and Asia will get the flagship Android smartphone in the beginning of April, while America, Australia and Africa won’t get their hands on the GS4 until May or June.
The Galaxy S III, last year’s model, launched in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia before it hit store shelves in the U.S. The same is true for the Galaxy S II before it, so these rumors (while disappointing to us in the U.S.) seem to line up with historical evidence.
We’ve received no invitations from Samsung regarding any March 15 event, but they have plenty of time before invitations need to go out. Samsung will be attending MWC, but it would appear that they’ve reserved that event for the 8-inch Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet.
Plus, the Galaxy S IV (the latest in a line that has brought Samsung to the top of mobile) probably deserves its own dedicated event. Just like the Galaxy S III got a massive unveiling at a London Unpacked event last year.
As far as we know, the Galaxy S IV is set to be one of the best specs phones on the market, with a 1.8GHz Exynos 5 Octa eight-core processor, a 5-inch 440ppi display, Qi Wireless charging and a 13-megapixel camera to name a few.

Vertu, luxury phone maker, is planning to launch its first Android phone this month itself. Purportedly named as Vertu Ti, the phone could also be the first Nokia made Android phone as the Finnish company was the owner of Vertu just recently before selling it to an investment firm.
Reportedly, the Vertu Ti will come with an 800 x 480 resolution based display, 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon MSM8260A SoC, Android 4.0.4 and a rather minuscule 1,250 mAh battery. The phone additionally has NFC, WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0. While the phone gets very average spec sheet, Vertu phones have never been known for high-end specs and are rather known for being handcrafted and made in the tradition of fine Swiss watches.
According to another website, it is going to be priced at 3000 Euros, making it the cheapest Vertu handset till date.




The Apple iPhone 5s rumours have begun again! and this latest one comes from blog, iLounge which claims that Apple could launch three new versions of the iPhone this year.
The report states that there will be a 4-inch-screened iPhone 5S and a supposedly larger-screened 4.8-inch “iPhone Math” model before the end of June, while a third model with a 12-megapixel camera will arrive before Christmas, the report claims.
Meanwhile Macrumours has images from the French site Nowhereelse.fr which the French site claims are speaker enclosures for both the upcoming iPhone 5S and a future iPhone 6.

The bigger screen iPhone rumours are not new. PreviouslyApple Insider, Apple was testing the new iPhone 5S and another smartphone. The report added that the smartphone could be out by June or July and was based on a note circulated to investors by Jefferies analyst Peter Misek where he states that Apple is testing two iPhone prototypes.
One being the iPhone 5S and the other a low-cost iPhone. The analyst had also stated that the iPhone 5S has a new “super HD camera/screen, a better battery, and NFC,” and “possible updates include an IGZO screen for Retina+” The device could come in six to eight colours like the iPod Touch (fifth generation).





Speculations were high regarding Facebook’s event on Tuesday at it’s headquarters while some going on to suggest that the social networking giant might just launch it’s own smartphone. But, all that wasn’t the case as  the Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg took the stage  and unveiled the company’s new search feature- The “Facebook Graph Search”.
Facebook Graph Search enables the users to quickly search for any information they might need about people, photographs, places and interests within their social connections. Though, the new service is till in beta mode and is available to select users only, at present but will eventually be rolled out for every user on Facebook. The new feature will make it’s way to the desktop users first whereas the mobile version will take some more time. 
With the new search feature, Facebook takes a step further to directly compete with Google, the company which earns a majority of it’s revenue through it’s most popular product- Google Search. But Zuckerberg says that unlike Google, the Facebook Graph Search isn’t a web search but a search that would give you results based on what your connections on Facebook have shared.
Once it goes live, the Facebook Graph Search will show up as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. The words you type-in on the Graph Search, appear as the title of the page and gives the users a set of results based on their search while giving you the option of changing the title of the page as well.









For instance, the user may type – “My friends in Delhi who have watched The Dark Knight” and the all the results regarding the query would be displayed in a new page with the same title. Basically, the Graph Search let’s users to type-in search phrases in natural language rather than specific keywords to search for stuff.
Cnet accurately points out the monetization aspect of the new graph search feature and says,

Graph Search will help the company prove to Wall Street that it can continue to exponentially grow another important metric: engagement. Better still, the product has the long-term potential to be a money-making machine. As Altimeter industry analyst Susan Etlinger told me, Graph Search will fill in the dots between the person, the brand, and the preference. This unlocks the potential for brands to provide people with relevant offers for things they actually want.

Many users may fear that their privacy might be at risk with this new feature, but Mark Zuckerberg pointed out during the press event that Graph Search won’t compromise on the privacy of users. Graph search will only display results which are wither public or have been shared with friends or friends of friends

press release


January 15, 2013
Facebook’s mission is to make the world more open and connected. The main way we do this is by giving people the tools to map out their relationships with the people and things they care about. We call this map the graph. It’s big and constantly expanding with new people, content and connections. There are already more than a billion people, more than 240 billion photos and more than a trillion connections.
Today we’re announcing a new way to navigate these connections and make them more useful. We’re calling it Graph Search, and it starts today with a limited preview, or beta.
When Facebook first launched, the main way most people used the site was to browse around, learn about people and make new connections. Graph Search takes us back to our roots and allows people to use the graph to make new connections.
Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. When you search for something, that search not only determines the set of results you get, but also serves as a title for the page. You can edit the title – and in doing so create your own custom view of the content you and your friends have shared on Facebook.
Graph Search and web search are very different. Web search is designed to take a set of keywords (for example: “hip hop”) and provide the best possible results that match those keywords. With Graph Search you combine phrases (for example: “my friends in New York who like Jay-Z”) to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that’s been shared on Facebook. We believe they have very different uses.
Another big difference from web search is that every piece of content on Facebook has its own audience, and most content isn’t public. We’ve built Graph Search from the start with privacy in mind, and it respects the privacy and audience of each piece of content on Facebook. It makes finding new things much easier, but you can only see what you could already view elsewhere on Facebook.
We’re very early in the development of Graph Search. It’s only available in English today and you can search for only a subset of content on Facebook. Posts and Open Graph actions (for example, song listens) are not yet available. We’ll be working on these things over the coming months.
The first version of Graph Search focuses on four main areas — people, photos, places, and interests.

People: “friends who live in my city,” “people from my hometown who like hiking,” “friends of friends who have been to Yosemite National Park,” “software engineers who live in San Francisco and like skiing,” “people who like things I like,” “people who like tennis and live nearby”
Photos: “photos I like,” “photos of my family,” “photos of my friends before 1999,” “photos of my friends taken in New York,” “photos of the Eiffel Tower”
Places: “restaurants in San Francisco,” “cities visited by my family,” “Indian restaurants liked by my friends from India,” “tourist attractions in Italy visited by my friends,” “restaurants in New York liked by chefs,” “countries my friends have visited”
Interests: “music my friends like,” “movies liked by people who like movies I like,” “languages my friends speak,” “strategy games played by friends of my friends,” “movies liked by people who are film directors,” “books read by CEOs”
The Graph Search beta starts today. Go to www.facebook.com/graphsearch to get on the waitlist.
The roll out is going to be slow so we can see how people use Graph Search and make improvements.
We look forward to your feedback. Enjoy and explore the graph.
A replay of the Graph Search media event is available here.__

Apple has started to feel the heat as it’s biggest rival Samsung continues to enhance it’s dominance in the smartphone space. Samsung, which earlier dominated the sales mainly in the Asian markets has of late seen immense success in the US with it’s flagship devices like the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2. Apple is now reportedly working on a cheaper variant of the iPhone and hopes to tap the emerging markets with the new device in order to boost it’s sales and increase it’s market share.
To keep the costs of the rumored iPhone low, Apple would most probably use plastic instead of the aluminum casing and other less expensive internal components. The cheaper iPhone could surface sometime in late 2013  and is expected to cost less than half of the current iPhone 5′s price. 
According to the latest report on Bloomberg, the Cupertino-based giant has been working on a cheaper variant of the iPhone since at least February last year  and is in talks with a top wireless carrier in the US regarding these plans.
Smartphones running on Google’s Android OS accounted for around 75 percent of total smartphone shipments in the third quarter of 2012, which is sharp increase from the 58 percent shipments during the same time in 2011 whereas the iPhone was confined to just 15 percent of the total smartphone shipments in Q3 2012.
While Google announced that over 500 million Android devices have been activated since it’s debut four years ago, Apple has managed to sell “only” 271 million iPhones till date.
If the rumors indeed turn out to be true, it would mark the diversification of Apple’s smartphone lineup which until now was just confined to a single model being upgraded at regular intervals. Apple at present tries to lure the budget-conscious smartphone buyer by reducing the prices of it’s older models 
However, not everyone is talking good about the rumored, cheap iPhone. Many experts believe that by introducing a cheaper variant of the iPhone, Apple would somewhat diminish it’s premium image and the new device might also dent the company’s profit margins as people might be drifted towards buying the cheaper variant.





It’s coming — soon. But we wouldn’t miss one last opportunity to see BlackBerry 10 before it is announced on January 30th. There are still plenty of features of the OS that we haven’t yet seen and RIM is doing a good job of keeping some secrets under wraps until launch day.
Forbes got a great look at the almost-finished OS running on the Dev Alpha B hardware, which we believe to be quite similar in specs to the finished hardware, which we know as BlackBerry Z10. As we’ve seen before, the exciting things (that have already been revealed) are the keyboard, the Peek and Flow gestures for notifications, and the centralized Hub where all your important content is stored.
As we’ve heard before, the keyboard has heat-mapping which will learn over time where you most commonly hit keys in error and adjust accordingly to increase accuracy.
We’re getting excited as Launch Day approaches, and can’t wait to try out the device for ourselves. What do you think? Does this whet your appetite for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 phone?






The Samsung Galaxy S4 rumor mill got heated up Friday when a new report, coming straight from South Korea, hit the web saying that the next generation Galaxy S smartphone would be released in April 2013 with S Pen functionality.
This would imply Samsung’s looking to go at least 5 inches as far as display size goes, but that’s another story for another day. The S4 would introduce all the familiar S Pen features we’ve come to know and love, as well as new features that Samsung’s sure to be cooking up as we type.
A refresh of previous rumours had Samsung launching this in April 2013 and once again increasing the size of their flagship Android to a 5-inch display (1080×1920 resolution) with 441 pixels per inch (ppi), embedding a quad-core processor and a 13-megapixel camera, plus running Jelly Bean.
In addition, the report also indicated that the GS IV will be 9.1mm thin, which is also a bit thicker than the current Galaxy S III at 8.6mm thin.
Samsung found quite the niche market with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and combining the two would help line its pockets even more. After all, what sense does it make to have your main flagship play second fiddle to the “little big brother” each year? While some characteristics of the Galaxy S3 — such as its less encumbering size — are more desirable for some people, it’s no secret that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 either matches it or outclasses it in every other way.


Soon after the launch of the 4th generation iPad, rumors are now doing rounds that Apple might be gearing up to launch the next-gen iPad aka the iPad 5 in March 2013. The report which first appeared in a Japanese blog Macotakara suggests that the upcoming iPad will be thinner and lighter than the iPad 4 whereas it will also incorporate some of the design elements from the iPad Mini.The new iPad is expected to sport the same retina display as the third and fourth generations iPads.
Along with the next-gen iPad, Apple might also unveil the second iteration of it’s smaller, iPad Mini which now might sport a Retina display. This will surely bring a big grin on some faces, who wanted to buy the iPad Mini, but only held back due to the lower-resolution display.
If the rumors indeed turn out to be true, it would be a quite aggressive move by Apple to release the iPad 5 within just 5 months of releasing the iPad 4. But whatever the case turns out to be, it’s quite obvious that Apple is now feeling the heat from the tablets running Google’s Android OS.  Google’s own Nexus 7 has been a hot selling property and the relatively new Nexus 10 too, has gained immense popularity amongst the masses.
This news from Macotakara could be quite credible as the Japanese tech blog had previously been quite accurate in regard to it’s information surrounding the unreleased iPads. Macotakara has also been spot on previously in it’s information about Apple products production timeframes and other design information.
The same rumors about the next generation of the iPad and the iPad mini had previously appeared in a report by Digitimes, which claimed that the next iPad would be thinner and lighter, while the iPad Mini would get a Retina display in it’s second generation.
