Technology- Way Ahead of Time

There was time when people were more than satisfied with 7 inch black-and-white TV. Sega Mega Drive Genesis was the best gaming console out there. People were happy. They thought they had the best of technology. They thought they had it all. They thought there was no place for progress in this technological world. But no, they were all wrong. Technology bought us things that we had never imagined, things we never dreamed of. We have everything all right but how many of you think that we have things that are more than necessary and things that looks like more for future use than right now? So, I have listed a few of the top gadgets and technologies which are going to be awesome some 10 years later.

Let us start up with 4K TV's. Also known as Ultra HD resolution TV, 4K TV's pack resolution of 3840x2160 which is four times the resolution of Full HD (1920x1080). That is way too high resolution, isn't it? It sounds great on paper,doesn't it? But if you look deeply, these TV's have no use in practical life. How many 4K movies have you watched so far? Yes, none. There are no movies so you can just forget about the TV shows. They are not going to come in 4K resolution any time now. If you are thinking of streaming 4K videos, you may just want to wait a bit more. Our download speed is not fast enough to stream 4K videos. Even Blu-Ray disc can't store 4K movie in a single disc. It is time for Blu-Ray discs and 1080p HD videos, so 4K resolution will have to wait for a while. 4K resolution is way too ahead of time. It is going to be a rock star some 10 years later, possibly. 4K is really way too ahead of time.

We have a lot of example if you know what I mean. How can we forget about the 1080p resolution in a 5" smartphone. It sounds crazy, doesn't it? But, that's exactly what we are getting right now. Mark my words, 2013 will be full of smartphones featuring FHD screens which are capable of playing back 4K resolution. Ask yourself, do you really need 441 ppi in a 5 inch display? Anything above 300+ ppi is just waste of your battery and undoubtedly your processor. How can we foget about the Exynos A15 Octa-Core Processor that Samsung released this year? What can a octa-core processor do in a smartphone when most of us probably have a dual core processor running in our PC? Octa-Core processor really doesn't mean anything as it won't be as powerful as a PC dual-core processor and we won't really use it to its maximum potential.    

Technology has been improving a lot at recent times. What people want, they get in a snap! That is the power of technology. Doesn't matter if technology is ahead or behind time, we will still love it! Thank you for reading my post.Stay tuned and stay updated.

Will Nokia ever rise again?

Nokia was the best mobile manufacturer ever until now. Things are slowly changing for Nokia as its competitors are growing strong with their Android operating system. Nokia is having a hard time coming back. Nokia who is working with Microsoft Windows and Symbian OS are really not being able to catch up with Android which has a large application library.  

Windows 8 phone especially Nokia Lumia 920 has been very successful but not as successful as Samsung Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 5 or HTC One X. People don't want to migrate to Nokia as neither Symbian or the Windows phone have as many features as Android or iOS. Nokia's  Asha series is really doing well in the low-end segment. But that isn't enough for Nokia to get back up. Windows Phone seems to be Nokia's last hope.

If Windows Phone 8 fails, then what? Will Nokia go do just as Blackberry did? No, Nokia won't go down by any means. Nokia is planning to build Android smartphone if Windows Phone doesn't work well. That will sort everything out. There's no doubt that people will come back running to Nokia if it adopts Android as its operating system. Nokia is trying its best to take the lead like the old times and looks like it is succeeding slowly. Lumia phones have been a great help to Nokia to get its share back. No doubt, Symbian is slowly dying.

Talking about Nokia rising up, there is no doubt about it. Nokia will rise up and stand where it used to be years back. If Nokia takes up Android, there's no doubt, it will be the No.1 smartphone maker as well as No.1 smartphone seller. Even if Nokia doesn't take up Android, it will catch up as Windows Phone is improving greatly in the recent times. Nokia will be back to wow you all. It's just a matter of time....

iOS - The Good and The Bad

iOS is a premium OS which has the biggest application and game store which runs on only Apple devices. The iOS OS runs everything very smoothly. Everything is fast and easy in this OS. All you need to do is open the application you want to use and you are done. It is a power efficient and non-resource hungry OS. One thing good about iOS is you get almost the the new features via firmware (software ) update. iOS is well known for its security, easy user-interface and great variety of applications. The OS is itself top notch and well polished. You will be getting few updates including stability patches and many other bug fixes as soon as Apple finds it. It has well integration of famous apps such as Facebook, Viber, Skype and many more. Although, you are only limited to your app tray, you also get pull-down notification bar for easy access of your notifications. You get security features to protect your device by using pass-code. Find my iPhone application lets you remotely track your device and even lets you remotely erase all your data. Almost all the applications and games are optimized to run on iOS devices.

However, there are a lot of drawbacks of using iOS. There are a lot of features missing in iOS. iOS sure is secure. But, you will have things you'll need to sacrifice for the sake of security. One major disadvantage is that you will be iTunes dependent to transfer all your music, photos, games and Videos. Also, you are not logged into your Apple account, you can sync your device from only one computer. Further, you won't be able to transfer any of your data from your iOS device via Bluetooth  Doesn't matter if it has Bluetooth 2.1+EDR or Bluetooth 4.0, FTP will be disabled. Customization is next to zero in iOS device where users are forced to use theme which is already set by default. Also, there is no homescreen and no widgets. The drop-down notification bar shows only few things and doesn't let to toggle through settings. These are few of the iOS drawbacks that you will need to know.

So, you now know the good and the bad about iOS. You can surely chose whether you want an iOS device or not. If you are a professional person who's going to use such device for work, you will be more than pleased to get it. If you are a teenager like me, you may want to check out Android OS as well. Android is skyrocketing right now. It too has many cool features that you'll seriously love.

Windows 8 - Should you upgrade?

Windows 8 is here folks! It's the latest and the greatest operating system (OS) from Microsoft. It has wowed many of us and for few it is not a major upgrade. Windows 8 sure has a lot of new features. Some of them are:

• Support for both x86 PCs and ARM tablets
• Touch-centric, Tiles-based User Interface (UI)
• Snap Multi-tasking
• Much easier Windows 8 Control Panel
• Web Navigation by Touch
• Two Touch Keyboards
• Enhanced Copy Experience
• Native USB 3.0 Support
• Better Support for Multiple Monitors
• Better Graphics Hardware Acceleration
• Metro UI
• Microsoft Account Integration
• Fast Boot Time
• SkyDrive Integration
• New Task Manager
• Improved Malware Protection

Seems like a lot has changed and in fact it has! But it doesn't mean you will notice all the changes. If you are a tech savy, you will surely see a lot of changes but if you are just a basic user, you won't like the new interface at least for a month or so.

Upgrading to Windows 8 is suitable for those people who are upgrading their PC itself (with TouchScreen featured Monitors). Windows 8 is optimized for touch screen monitors. If you want to make the most out of your Windows 7 make sure you have got a touch screen Monitor. Also, you will need a active Internet connection all the time to use its premium features. Although the minimum requirement of Windows 8 is same as that of Windows 7, you may want to have a high spec PC to enjoy all the features of Windows 8. 

If you have a old Windows 8 PC which has low specs and uses a non-touchscreen PC, then trust me, you won't enjoy much of Windows 8. The touchscreen optimization itself will trouble you. It will look funny to use your mouse as a finger input to swipe through different Windows panel. Windows 8  uses a lot of gestures and touch options which will surely trouble you.It's certainly not going to be worth spending 100's of dollar for just upgrading to Windows 8.

So, that's it for now. Stay tuned and stay updated. You can also catch me on Facebook. Just click this "Facebook" word to be redirected to my page. Thanks for reading my post.

Should you get Nexus 7 or should you wait?

Well, its been almost a year since the launch of the Nexus 7 and it is still selling like hot pancakes. 100's of 7 inch tablets have been launch after Nexus 7 but none have been able to take over the Nexus 7. It may sound cheesy but Nexus 7 is still the best 7 inch tablet we have around us. Well, but it's 2013 and it sure is a new year for rise of tablets and mind you tablets sales are increasing rapidly. You may even see a Nexus 7 II this year and who knows what else! So, do you think it is going to to be wise enough to  get your Nexus 7 at this time of the year? Let's find out.

Nexus 7 may be a 2012 device and may seem old to many of you but actually it does everything perfectly just as you would want a perfect 7 inch tablet to do. The specs are still high end with 1 GB of RAM and 1.2GHz nVidia Tegra 3 Quad-Core Processor. Yes, I know nVidia Tegra 4 has just been released but don't expect to be seen in a budget tablet like Nexus 7 any time now. Some of you may think that this is going to be a bad time to purchase Nexus 7 but to be honest you won't find any better time to get such premium product in such less price. Nexus 7 II is going to cost a lot more than Nexus 7 as it will feature a back facing camera and a better processor. Just like the Nexus 7, even the Nexus 7 II will have a higher price at the beginning and will ultimately reduce the price at the end of the year to maintain the sales. 

You buy a gadget today then be sure it's going to be outdated tomorrow. That's one fact you will need to face. No matter how good and premium product you buy it is going to die one day. Just thinking that if you start waiting, trust me, you will wait all your life. Go for Nexus 7 and you won't regret. However, if you are planning to get a 7 inch tablets months after today, you might really want to wait. But, if you are planning to get it today or tomorrow, just don't wait and get it right away. It is worth the price. You will simply love your Nexus 7!
