The cheaper iPhone got a lot more cheaper with the availability of the iPhone 5c 8GB at UK. Unfortunately, the iPhone 5c 8GB is still missing in the Apple Online Store PH which means that it won’t be available yet on our resellers.

I love Gran Turismo series on the Playstation not just because of the cars but also because of the graphics. I’m really amazed how Sony made Gran Turismo look realistic on a more than half a decade console. If gaming consoles has Gran Turismo and Forza, well, the PC master race has Project Cars. Don’t worry, the game would be available on consoles too. Basically, the game is like Gran Turismo or Forza but hey, you should check out the graphics of this game. Trust me, it’s awesome.
Oh and did I say that the game is still at Alpha stage?
The ASUS Fonepad 7 might not have a FHD display on its display but the 1280×800 is already decent enough for a 7” display. The Intel Atom Z2520 processor might be dual-core but it acts like a quad-core processor thanks to the hyper threading technology of Intel. Check out the specifications below:

Hence the slogan, Consumers can run Android Apps through Nokia Store, third-party Stores and through installing APKs. “We believe this unique combination will resonate with consumers around the world and set a great precedent for the level of quality that can be achieved in the fast-growing, affordable smartphone segment” a word from Gary Chan, Head of Marketing Nokia Pan Asia.

You will love the Design of the Nokia X, the back shell is made of Matte Plastic. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel too fragile. The Volume Rocker and Power Key are placed at the Right side while on the Bottom is the Micro USB Port. At the back, you’ll find the small but very loud speaker and at the top is a headphone jack.
The Fastlane user interface from Nokia X is like combining the UI of Asha and the Lumia. You can edit and enlarge the tiles, Move it to a folder and you can also add some Android widgets there. They have also preloaded some Games, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, ASTRO File Manager and More. And when installing an APK File, it’s still easy to install like a typical Android device.

The leak screenshot features some apps that are present on Mac like the preview app and the textedit app. The interesting new app in the screenshot is Healthbook. We really don’t know how that app will function but it will probably act like the S-health on the Samsung Galaxy devices. Because of this app, it gives us a clue that Apple might release a wearable device this year. Expect more changes once the next version of iOS is out.
Good luck Apple!
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 was just announced earlier this year and it looks like we have found the first Android smartphone that’ll sport the powerful processor. The Snapdragon 805 would still run on a Quad-Core Krait 450 cores at 2.5 GHz and it will be paired by Adreno 420.
Normally, when Samsung has a new flagship product, they release an official hands-on video of their new product. If you’ve been following the latest tech news in the past few weeks, you probably know that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would be coming soon along with the Gear Fit and Gear 2. Well, here are the official hands-on of the Samsung Galaxy S5, Gear 2 and Gear Fit in where they’ll show you some of its features and its interface.
The video is kinda dull maybe because of its slow pace and less audio. Nonetheless, I still want a Samsung Galaxy S5 along with the Samsung Gear Fit. But of course, I can’t afford those devices yet. LOL. Expect the Samsung Galaxy S5 to be launched on April 11.
Beyond Innovations is currently having a warehouse sale that started last March 8 until March 15, 2014. You’ll see a lot of audio products like Headphones, Soundbars, & Speakers from JBL, AKG, Harman Kardon, Denon and Alto. If you can still remember, I reviewed the JBL Synchros S100a and the JBL J33 recently and yes, both of them were great. If you want to check out the warehouse sale here’s the location and the pricelist.
Last Friday, we were invited by National Geographic to the premiere of COSMOS: A Space-Time Odyssey. The new show will premier simultaneously on National Geographic Channel and FOX on March 12 at 10 PM.
COSMOS: A Space-Time Odyssey tells us the story of our universe and how the human beings developed their place in the universe and their concept of the laws of nature. The new show would feature some reinvented elements like the Cosmic Calendar and the Ship of Imagination from Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, a show that was hosted by Carl Sagan in the 80’s.
This series was produced by Seth MacFarlane. You might probably heard that guy because he is the man behind Family Guy and TED but this series proved us that he isn’t just great at making funny films but also in Astronomy.
Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey will be hosted by popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Author of New York Times bestsellers and also the man behind this meme:
