BBM coming to Android and iOS as early as this week, no more excuse

An earlier report on Twitter from Samsung Nigeria confirmed that BlackBerry’s popular BBM messaging platform will be coming to Android and iOS quite soon. Although it won’t be a three-month exclusive to Samsung as was initially speculated, BBM could hit Google Play and the iOS App Store as early as this Friday. BBM Communications Director Victoria Berry had this to say on the impending launch: “The excitement around the upcoming BBM launch on iPhone and Android devices seems to know no bounds. Although I’m a big fan of this passion, I want to clarify that no one will have an exclusive on offering BBM. We’ll be bringing the app to Android and iPhone users across the globe soon.” BBM has long been a staple of BlackBerry’s messaging platform, allowing BlackBerry users to communicate between one another for free, but has until now been limited to BlackBerry devices. The latest incorporation of other mobile OS’s i

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

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 widget. He

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
