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.

At last!!!

I mentioned the 2 dual sim samsung galaxy phones a while back. Samsung galaxy Y Pro and Samsung  Galaxy Y Duos are now in the Nigerian market. The technology also allows true work, life balance for users who need to balance their busy professional and social lives. I have been waiting since.

Below are the two latest smartphones in town

Samsung galaxy Y pro

 The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro is tailored for emerging professionals striving to keep work and social life in tandem. Outfitted with essential business applications in a sleek modern design, the Samsung Galaxy Pro is a highly efficient and advanced communication tool for improved productivity and better performance for active users who simply want more out of life.

Samsung galaxy Y duos

The Samsung Galaxy Y Duos is Samsung’s first affordable full touch screen smartphone with the dual SIM functionality. It is targeted at young and practical consumers who want to manage their busy day to day life and busy social life. Beyond the dual SIM flexibility, the device is a beautifully designed smartphone with polished metallic finish. Its ergonomic design is complemented by a 3.14” full touch display that provides optimal legibility for a smartphone of its size.

Facebook Phone

Today the Tech press posted news that facebook has brought out their own brand of smartphone called the facebook phone. However a credible source has denied that rumour . The denial was made by Dan Rose, head of business development at Facebook, who told it to Reuters. He was replying to a report by the business rag City A.M. that two new Facebook-branded phones made by HTC would be coming out at the Mobile World Congress.

Granted, Facebook is pushing into mobile hard, with new features like Facebook Places making a bit of a splash. But most of us already have more Facebook than we need, and possibly can take.
