If you found the Samsung Unpacked launch event of the Galaxy S4 to be somewhat cheesy, what you witnessed was actually theatrical mastery compared with what the poor folks of India have been burdened with from the Korean company. Now granted, the company is feeling a bit patriotic having seen compatriot PSY's 'Gangnam Style' become the most-watched, most-liked video in the history of YouTube and indeed, t'internet, but the smartphone vendor really shouldn't have gone as far as to bring it's own, ahem, 'Samsung Style' adaptation for the Indian launch of the new flagship. But regrettably, it did.
Microsoft may be languishing behind Apple and Google in the mobile operating system stakes, but that hasn't stopped the Redmond outfit from coning out on the offensive with its latest Windows Phone ad. You can check it out after the jump.
The T3 YouTube channel has posted a very interesting looking concept render of a Google smartwatch, designed very much in the image of the search giant's Nexus brand of products. Running, as you would expect, an adapted version of Android, it would link up with your smartphone to supplement the overall experience by answering calls, syncing calendars, and generally lessening the need for you to incessantly reach for your pocket.
With Apple having announced the date earlier on today for WWDC 2013, we’re bracing ourselves for a marked rise in the number of Apple-related news, rumors and reports. With iOS 6 having failed, in the opinion of many, to bring any dramatic improvements on iOS 5, the concepts and ideas for iOS 7 have been arriving thick and fast. The one you're about to see below, as well as having been presented in a very professional manner, is one of the best iOS 7 concepts yet, and features a radically redesigned interface including a new Notification Center, widget support, and lock screen toggles. Catch the full demonstration video after the break!
There's much made about the so called 1%. Vilified by the press and the vast majority of the United States, the 1% represent the 'haves', with everyone else firmly in the 'have not' column.
One of the first videos to show a Galaxy S4 to have a knife taken to it shows that Samsung's new smartphone should be able to hold its own in a pocket full of pointy things!
German auto manufacturing giant Volkswagen has teamed up with Apple to design a car aptly entitled the 'iBeetle', but those of you hoping this to be the genuine, all-singing, Steve Jobs-endorsed iCar will be sorely disappointed. The renowned automobile engineer has joined forces with the Cupertino tech firm to create a "genuine integrative interface" for the iPhone, allowing both car and handset to harmoniously link together in what the Wolfsburg-based firm describes as Volkswagen Car Net The Beetle.
These Specs Offer Google Glass-Like Point Of View Video Recording For A Fraction Of The Cost [VIDEO]
It's hard not to get just a little bit excited about the prospect of Google Glass hitting the market later this year, but considering the cost of Explorer version, which currently costs $1,500, it's going to be a product many consumers will have to admire from afar. If you would like some techie spectacles but don't want to pay large sums of money, you may be interested in the Mitamanma Megane from Japanese company Thanko. Although not in the Google league in terms of overall features, it does come complete with its own hidden camera, allowing you to shoot POV video with ease, and at a cost of just $91, is certainly a lot more affordable to the general consumer.
We're all playing the guessing game when it comes to Apple's next iPhone. Some people prefer to deal in the land of the reasonable, whilst others throw caution to the wind, prophesizing all manner of weird and wonderful features that will never see the light of day.
Back last week, we heard how an iPad survived a strange sequence of events which saw it fly from a car roof and embed itself into the bonnet of the vehicle behind. Although it did in fact sustain a great amount of damage, it still worked well enough for the device's owner to be sourced from information found on the device, and if nothing else, was a great advert for the market-leading tablet's durability credentials. Today, a video circulating around the blogosphere once again appears to reiterate what a tough cookie the Cupertino slate is, having survived a foul softball hit with apparently no damage whatsoever.
