A lot of speculation has been in the running about Appleswearable gadgets. It is expected to get something from the Apple this year. This is not the only time something was expected from Apple. It was mentioned multiple times by Apple that they are working on a new product line.

 The reason things have not been disclosed so far is that Apple aims to be at the best of things not only the first one to introduce a new gadget. In this category of smartwatches, Apple is not the only contender. The market is flooded with wearable tech including smartwatches from the likes of Samsung, Sony, Pebble and some more as well.

It is yet to be seen if the iWatch would be a success after it is launched. The reasons for the success of earlier products including iPod, iPhone and iPad, there was a need for those devices. However, here the case is different. Apple might be making some space for its new product to convince the people that it is needed as well.

The main function of iWatch is expected to connect an added interface to your wrist that might work as a middleman between your iPhone and you. Smartphones have replaced watches and many other gadgets and everything has been merged to this little device, our smartphone.

 However, the brand always sells. Apple has a big market to get everything they make succeeded in the market.

The expected release date for iWatch is not yet confirmed but it is expected to be Q3 or Q4 this year. Price of iWatch is also not yet confirmed. If someone tells you the exact price, he is definitely lying. Specs of iWatch are yet to be confirmed, as Apple has not announced its launch officially so far.

Technology: the game changing story

Gone are the days when human life was a jumble of hardwork.Early humen beings had been spending their lives to be more and more comfortable with the environment.Gradually, with the passage of time, they made their lives easier with the help of technological advancements Industrial revolution of 18th century, started from england, resulted in the less engagement of human source and more and more usage of technological resources thus technology proved to be a solace for overall human existence.
At the same time, on the other hands, technology caused serious harm to the balance of nature For instance, Global warming and other environmental issues proved to be the dark side of technological advancements.Two great wars were another negative outcome of technology as John F. Kennedy commented on technology's dark perspective in his very true words:

"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life."

Even with the latest technology in use these days, magnetic tape is still a robust way to backup data. People used to listen to music on tapes as well as stored data on them. With the advancement in technology, the music shifted to CDs and later portable drives. Tape drive still count when talking about backing up data. They are considered one of the best options to backup data. Sony has done a marvelous job by pushing the things further and make tape drives far better than they initially were. Sony just introduced a tape that can hold 148GB per square inch. It means the whole cassette can store about 185TB of data, which is quite huge. Get ready to join all tape to get one giant one.

In 2010, the maximum data that can be stored on a magnetic tape was 29.5GB per square inch. Sony has announced a new technology to be used for magnetic tapes ton increase the capacity. The capacity 148GB per square inch is the new record for magnetic tape storage. On a full tape cassette, it will total to 185TB of data that is equal to 3,700 dual blue-rays disks. This is really a huge capacity for data storage on magnetic tapes.

Sony has used a vacuum forming technique to create a layer of magnetic crystals by shooting argon ions at a polymer film substrate. This technology is called sputter deposition. The crystals, which are just the average size of 7.7 nanometers, pack together more densely than anything used in the previous methods. Therefore, the result is wonderful. Data equal to three blue-rays can fit into only one square inch of this new wonder tape by Sony.

Sony has developed the technology for long-term, industrial-sized data backup. This is the field where slow write times and the time taken to scroll through yards of the tape to find a single file is not a problem at all. It is yet to be decided by Sony when they plan to launch this product in the market but it is sure to hit the market hard and quick.

Apple vs Samsung

Apple and Samsung should make it clear that smartphone industry is being categorized in what to have and what not to. Both the companies report their record earnings for the first three months of the year, mainly focusing on smartphone sales. They are offering almost similar features in their phones. Yet they both are quite separated.

Apple sells just one smartphone, the iPhone. They emphasize the design and portability of this device over sales. They invest heavily in the consumer brand. They earn good from the variety of softwares and apps. On the other hand, Samsung, which is the world’s largest tech company, follows Apple with great speed and offers multiple products with wide range. They create multiple versions of a product to meet the needs of its customers. The profit here is controlled by own manufacturing.

Their different paths are a proof that different models can prevail together. They both control about 25% of the global market share of smartphones.

 

 At the end of 2010, Apple’s market share reached 23.5% from 16%. Samsung was holding 22.8% of the market in the same quarter, which was quite increased from previous 9.4%. At the moment, it looks like they both are pulling away. The battle to be supreme over the other has caused many clashes between the two giants. In April 2011, Samsung was sued by Apple over the design and patents for smartphones. Samsung replied in the same coin and the legal battle spread in nine countries. With the help of commercials, Samsung has taken over the market with its Galaxy smartphones that are available in different version in different countries to suit the needs of the customer.

On the other hand, the companies has learnt to work together. Apple is the largest consumer for Samsung’s component divisions, including display screens and chips. Their legal battle has not slowed down their financial performance in the market.

The phone industry is now focusing on fast moving products where even one missed cycle can result in a downward movement. This industry works in cycles where one is dominant at one time and the other at the other time.

Samsung Galaxy S5

We can define Samsung Galaxy S5 in one work, ‘Evolution’. The camera has evolved to perform better for clearer, faster pictures. Fitness tracking abilities have been increased as compared to Galaxy S4. A more powerful health App has been added to Galaxy S5 with a dedicated heart rate monitor on the rear. To increase the security of the device, a fingerprint scanner has been added. It has a larger battery, bigger screen with increased brightness, faster processor and altered design. The specs are quite fascinating: a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 2800mAh battery that is removable, 16/32GB of internal memory with 128GB micro SD card capacity, 5.1 in screen. All these features have added beauty to the device.

Talking about price, if you are an experienced Galaxy phone user, you should not be shocked by the price. It is in fact a bit cheaper than previous years in some areas of the world. The prices ranges from 550-600 pounds in UK and $650 in US while AU$900 in Australia.

The design is not as good as from Apple or HTC. However, it is not too bad, as Samsung has added a number of new apps to attract the customer. The body is made of plastic and has a good look. On the other hand, HTC has maintained its metal unibody history with One M8 while Apple has maintained its sharp design in iPhone 5. The main reason for the plastic body seems to be the cost of manufacture that increases much with metal body. Samsung ties to keep things lighter. Waterproof with metal could have been a difficult situation to cope with. One thing is sure that Samsung S5 is more solid phone than Galaxy s4 and it looks more well packaged.

With the larger screen in Galaxy S5, Samsung has managed to keep things in proportion. However, the chassis is larger but not too much that it looks odd. If you are moving from iPhone to Galaxy S5, you might find it trickier to switch to bigger size. For the Galaxy users, there is a lot to like in this phone.

LG G Pad 8. 3 Yahoo Engage in edition hands-on.

If you've been eyeing the LG G Pad 8.3, your decision just became more difficult. Yesterday Google announced -- and began shipping -- a Google Play edition of the tablet for $350 in the US, which makes it the very first slate to receive the stock Android treatment. What does this mean, exactly? Google Play editions come with Android 4.4 KitKat without any manufacturer or carrier customizations, so it looks precisely the way Google intends it. This can be good or bad, because there are a couple tradeoffs you need to consider: The good news is that these types of devices typically get upgrades to the newest version of Android far earlier than the vast majority of smartphones and tablets, but you also need to give up a few features that were unique to their skinned counterparts.


In the case of the G Pad 8.3, this means you won't be able to enjoy the Knock On (aka, "double-knock") feature, nor will you have Slide Aside or access to a litany of LG's Q-branded functions like QPair, QRemote or QSlide. None of these missing services are crucial to the functionality of the G Pad, although we must admit that we've grown rather fond of Knock On. The camera interface is also quite different, but the only thing that might frustrate you is the lack of manual settings; if you only rely on automatic mode to make the photo magic for you, this likely won't be an issue of concern. Just like we saw on the Z Ultra Google Play edition, the G Pad also doesn't come with the native Android gallery app, as it appears that the Google+ Photos app has taken its place as the default. You'll also have the stock camera UI to deal with, rather than LG's, so you won't be able to make many manual adjustments. Of course, this probably isn't a huge concern for a lot of tablet users who may only use their camera for basic needs.

Aside from software changes, you're not going to see anything different on the outside. The dimensions are all the same as the original model, as are the actual hardware components. It's only available in black (the back strip is fitted with brushed metal, with black plastic ends), but it's offered for the same price as the model we reviewed last month. We've got a bunch of images for you to behold below.
