iPhone Sales Hit (Dubious) Record, Here's What Apple Isn't Saying

If  the long lines on Friday  weren't a good enough indication, Apple wants doubters to know the new iPhone is a roaring success. Early Monday morning,  the company announced  that it had sold 9 million models of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C during the first three days of sales -- calling it a new record high for an iPhone debut. But that's not the whole story. Apple has turned boasting about record-breaking sales into a tradition: Three days after it debuts a new iPhone, Apple puts out a happy press release. In 2012, the company said iPhone 5 sales  topped 5 million . The year before, Apple sold  more than 4 million  iPhone 4S handsets during its first weekend, and the year before that, it sold only  1.7 million models  of the iPhone 4. So with more than 9 million new iPhones sold this year, the iPhone 5S and 5C certainly are record breakers for Apple again -- a nice fact that they can trumpet to weary...

Andriod Change a good for Nokia instead of Microsoft

S martphone manufacturer Nokia recently sold its devices and services unit to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. Before that deal, though, it seems like the Finnish company may have thought of crossing the fence to Google’s Android operating system sometime after late 2014, according to the New York Times . While Microsoft and Nokia have had a long, well-knit bond over the Windows Phone-based Lumia series, new evidence now shows that a Nokia Lumia Android phone was being considered, and prototypes were also reportedly made by the company. Nokia supposedly had a team working on bringing Android to its Lumia handsets well before the Microsoft deal took place. The source has stated that Microsoft executives were also aware about the existence of this project. Nokia’s plan to shift operating systems is not such a surprising one. Most smartphone companies often have alternatives in mind in case they need to shift the operating system or iron out better deals with software...

TUT:Shutdown Your Computer or a Remote PC via Command Prompt

Most of us shutdown our computers using the power button given in the Start menu. Some of us use the physical power button on our machines. Very few people actually use other means of shutting down a computer and even less is the number of people who use the command prompt to shutdown a computer. A reason for this is that most of us don't know that the command prompt can be used to not only shutdown, restart or log off  our  computer instantly but also to shutdown a remote computer provided you have administrative access. It can also be used to hibernate a computer and give a comment containing the reason for shutdown. This post will show you how to do all this. Required A computer running Windows (XP, Vista, 7 or 8) with the command prompt working perfectly, i.e. not  disabled by a virus . Initial Steps  1) Press Windows Key + R. 2) Enter CMD and press Enter. This will start the command prompt. Follow the instructions below depending on what you want...

Huawei Ascend P6 review to storm NIGERIAN market

   Huawei’s latest is being flaunted as the slimmest smartphone ever! We find out if there’s anything else that the handset can brag about. For a company that had nothing to do with smartphones till three years ago, Huawei has built itself quite an arsenal of products by now. While most of its earlier models were budget phones that were barely acknowledged by gadget enthusiasts, the more recent line-up of its mid-to higher-end smartphones have been getting a fair bit of attention. The latest to fit the bill is the Huawei Ascend P6, marketed by the company as the slimmest smartphone ever! We picked it up to see what else it can possibly boast of! FIRST IMPRESSIONS Right out of the box, the Huawei Ascend P6 greeted us in Chinese. For some strange reason (which is explained later), Chinese was the default language, so we had to fiddle with it before we could get it to swap to English. The obvious launch pad – the homescreen of the smartphone sports the customisable ME w...

ASUS launching the new PadFone Infinity on September 17

1 in Share The ASUS PadFone has been a very interesting concept that unfortunately has never made it stateside. It’s a smartphone just like any other Android smartphone. But once slid into the back of its tablet housing, it becomes a full fledged tablet, complete with the large 10-inch user interface and all of your apps molded to fit. ASUS has a new PadFone in the works. Literally, it’s called “the new PadFone Infinity.” Not very creative, but it’ll do. The device will have an upgraded Snapdragon 800 processor, along with the addition of a microSD slot and a white model to the lineup. It’s not a huge upgrade for those who already own the previous device, but it’s still a nice product refresh for those who were willing to buy it soon. The new PadFone Infinity will be launching on September 17 in Taipei, and the event will be hosted by ASUS CEO Jerry Shen. They have also posted a promotional video taking the “launch” literally, w...
