2012 Year of Android

This year was the upsurge of android. They scared the hell of out of Iphone this year. They actually almost gave them a run for their name. But you know Ios still have their faithfuls in the US even though Android won a lot of converts.

In Nigeria here, ofcourse peeps still dey ping so tey RIM, despite their Grim situation globally, still saw a glimmer of hope thus opened a blackberry outlet in Nigeria on October.

Android has come to stay, with so many apps to experiment and very good ones which are free from ads. Android will still win more converts as long as smartphone is concerned except an idea comes along and sweeps everyone away.

Whatz Up With Windows 8 Phone

The gist is the windows 8 phone is out of course you know the marriage of necessity between Nokia and windows. Their first issue Lumia series. The lumia came with windows 7.5 unfortunately cannot be updated to the new “belle” the “8”.

Windows 8 has got some cool features up its sleeves

-   The technologies that power windows phone 8 are essentially the same. This striking compatibility

     allows windows 8 and window phone 8 to share common file system, possesses the same web

     browser, security and network technologies.

-   Audio, graphics and media playback all work more like their Windows equivalents, which should m

     make for more powerful games and entertainment apps

-   Microsoft has teamed up with Audible to bring speech recognition to Windows Phone 8, allowing 

    users to shout a variety of commands at their handsets.

New App gives Early Warning of Mean Messages

Computer scientists have developed a mobile phone app that can predict the tone of incoming messages after a user reads them so that they don't get caught off guard by angry or hostile words. The android phone app “stress @ work” created at the University of Portsmouth colour codes messages so people have time to prepare themselves. It integrates itself with the social media sites like facebook, twitter and the rest. Nice messages are coded green while negative messages are designated red and neutral is blue.

It is designed in English Language. So if you inbox on my facebook or DM me on twitter an insult in Igala language, I might still have that heart attack.

The developers hope to make this app available for free downloading from the android marketplace by the end of June and on other platforms within the next academic year.
