Sony Launches SmartWatch 2

Sony's foray into wearable tech started with their iconic Sony Walkman  series of the 90's, they plan to revisit that golden era and today launched their new smartwatch, the SmartWatch2, The smartwatch is a unibody aluminium watch that sports Sony's design language, it shares features with other sony Xperia Z brand of products.Sony doesnt want the watch to be a geek only affair but more of a fashion statement, so the watch will be available with a variety of strap styles and colors.

The watch can serve as an alternate screen for your phone when they are synched together.It would let you control the camera shutter, take phone calls and have a quick glance at maps without having to pull your phone out of your pocket or pouch while driving or on the move.

The watch comes loaded with android and NFC capabilities which enables pairing with other android devices. It is also waterproof  with an IP57 rating. At 1.6inches ,The watch comes with a bigger display than its predecessor and at 220 X 176 pixel resolution favours improved outdoor and daylight viewing.

Should other brands of wearable tech or smartwatches be scared? Since sony recently made the smartwatch available to developers to build apps specifically for the watch should increase the appeal of the watch. I believe with a good marketing budget any thing is possible.

INFINIX RACE EAGLE: FULL REVIEW

OVERVIEW Straight out of the box the infinity Race Eagle is an unassuming phone, its a slightly hefty device with a 5.0" capacitive touch-screen across the diagonal.

iOS 7: PICTURES AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Apple announced iOS 7 at WWDC this week. Today we bring you an in depth Review of the OS. Many iPhone and iOS users have been clamouring for a fresh breath of air in the look and feel of iOS. iOS 7 is already bein touted by apple as the biggest break away from the norm since it announced its first generation iPhone back in 2007. Personally I think the comparison is a little far fetched because most of the functions are already available on other platforms like windows phone and Android. I have included snapshots of the iOS 7 key functions. However let's take a look at the goodies....... LOCK SCREEN: the new lock screen takes the personality of your wallpaper. Its not a far departure from what's available on android jellybean. HOME SCREEN This is the new home screen in iOS 7. Apple redesigned all of its icons for this major update, including Mail, Settings, iTunes, Game Center, Photos, Safari and more.

Tecno a few months ago released a "High-end Budget phone" the Tecno F7 phantom . Budget in terms of specs and build quality and high-end because its the most expensive device TECNO has ever built. All that is about to change with the recent introduction of the TECNO Phantom Pad N9. i had the opportunity to spend some time with the tablet and i will be giving you a concise hands-on review and first impressions about the tablet.
