The next big thing; is it the iPhone 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S3?
Sep 19th
We don’t know how they do it, but yes, yet again Apple’s new flagship iPhone is on the roll and breaking one record after the other. Apple is certainly not being modest about it; clearly stating that this is the best Smartphone to have been launched on planet Earth (a bit exaggerated? We think so too), yet their fan base still seem to flock by the thousands all over the United States. Just when we thought camping outside the Apple showrooms was so-last year, fans proved us wrong for they are and will be camping for the next four days up until the Cupertino-based technology company actually puts the magnificent device at its showrooms.
Apple is not to be blamed for having such a big ego; the iPhone 5 has just won over the title of the fastest selling Smartphone in the history of Smartphones by their legendary record of selling 2 million iPhone 5 pre-ordered handsets in a mere 24 hour interval. This number is sure to please Apple’s executives, and it is speculated that within the first week after the launch, numbers will boast even higher, as high as 10 million handsets.
Never the less, do not be a fool thinking Apple is going unchallenged in this competitive market. The 4.8 inch Samsung Galaxy S III is still getting a lot of love from avid Android fans and making it fly off the shelves faster than a hot pancake, and it has not suffered any setbacks since the launch of the iPhone 5. Statistics show that Samsung has sold what amounts to 25 million units of the Galaxy S3 since its launch over 3 months ago.
If you would like the latter for free, then be sure to enter our “Spot the Android” competition for a chance to win a brand new Samsung S3 + an unlimited lifetime G Cloud account. (Set previous blog post for details).
Here is a comprehensive comparison to make your choice a bit easier:
Tech gift ideas for your mom
May 13th
“Hundreds if dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.”
~George Cooper
In celebration of Mothers’ day, we took it upon ourselves to give you a roundup of the best tech-related gifts that will surly brighten her day.
1. A tablet : A few years ago, a tablet may have merely meant a medicinal formulation made of a compressed powdered substance containing an active drug and excipients, i.e a pill. Yet, in this fast paced world of ours it has a different meaning, which most of us know as a kind of mobile computers, usually having a touchscreen or pen-enabled interface. Consider getting one of the many options out there ( Sony Tablet P, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, Amazon Kindle Fire and the iPad of course) and we’re pretty sure you’re mom will appreciate the much easier approach to watching videos/ playing games with the kids, manage calendars and discover new recipes. Add a beautiful bag to the purchase and you’re good to go. Here a review of the tablets by Cnet.
2. Belkin Chef Stand + Stylus: If your mom is already tech savvy and owns a tablet, this can come in handy, especially if she enjoys cooking and browsing for new recipes. The problem with this modern “recipe book” is that one might be too worried to ruin it by having it in the kitchen with all the mess and fuss. This is where Belkin Chef comes in handy; your mom can just adjust her tablet for easy viewing and navigate the page without getting messy fingerprints on the screen. The stylus is rubberized and designed to get messy and wiped clean again.
3. Fitbit Ultra activity tracker: We are all obsessed nowadays with our fitness level and daily walking/ running routines, hence the popularity of the pedometers. However, they are soon to be become obsolete with Fitbit Ultra since it takes a step further by tracking sleep patterns as well as the number of steps you climb each and every day. To make it a complete present, get the scale that goes with it; it will sync via Wi-Fi with the Fitbit Ultra.
4. The latest smartphone : Walking without a smartphone in this day and hour is like going to the beach without sun block, okay maybe not that drastic but still everyone seems to be obsessed to have their hands on the latest bit of mobile technology. We’ve conducted a comprehensive comparison chart earlier in April, which may help you choose the best one for your dear mom.
5. Clarisonic PLUS with Body Brush Head: Last but not least, our personal favorite is
The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System; we all know how women enjoy their Spa experiences, and how rejuvenated they feel after each one. Well, treat your mom to a spa experience everyday with the oscillating brush.

It’s what you do with what Nokia Lumia 900 does!
Apr 17th
Living in this fast paced world may be quite a hassle without the “right” smartphone to help guide you through your day.
Apple has been at the forefront for quite sometime now, even though Samsung seems to be catching up with its Galaxy S2 and rumoured Galaxy S3 to be released on May 3rd. However, we must not neglect Nokia’s well deserved efforts for a come back and trying to keep “ connecting people” with their Lumia 900. They’re even trying to win over the fellow gentlemen with their new ad that promises to win over the ladies in a similar way the Iphone used to do. Even though a brand new mobile gadget may send an aura of elegance and sophistication, we might not agree it will attract the right kind of females.

However, if you’re still not sold on buying the Lumia 900 once it’ll be released, here’s a comprehensive comparison chart that may aid you in the pursuit for the right smartphone.
