Samsung Inspired by Apple’s MAC Book Air Design Released ChromeBook

In the preceding week, Samsung in Collaboration with Google announced the copy of MAC Book Air with a lower price called Chrome Book. This new ChromeBook by Samsung features a 0.5-inches smaller screen with a 1366X768-pixel resolution. The weight of the chormebook is less than 2.5 pounds, but it got the same battery life of 6.5 hours. The major difference that is spotted in this edition of ChromeBook is of the Samsung’s Exynos 5250 dual-core processor with a Cortex-A15 Chip that is capable of running 1080p Videos without any hustle.

The new Chromebook is a great computer at any price, but it’s an incredible computer at $249. It’s one of the lightest laptops on the market. You can easily carry it around all day—it’s 2.5 pounds, a mere 0.8 inches thick, with more than 6 hours of battery life for the typical user. And with 100 GB of free storage on Google Drive*, you can get to all of your stuff anytime, anywhere.

Even with its compact design, it’s packed with performance—it boots up in less than 10 seconds and resumes instantly. High-resolution videos (in 1080p) are beautiful to watch and when using the touchpad, you’ll notice smooth scrolling due to a hardware-accelerated user interface. And as you‘d expect from a Chromebook, it’s easy to share with others. Everyone—mom, dad, grandparents, tech lovers, tech haters—can have separate accounts where all of their stuff is kept safe. Finally, if you’re an active Google user of products like Gmail, Drive, Search, Maps, YouTube, Play or Google+ Hangouts, everything just works seamlessly.

The price at which Samsung has placed its ChromeBook is the best competitive price in comparison with Apple’s MAC Book Air. The MAC Book Air by Apple costs $999 and this ChromeBook by Samsung costs $249. The price of the ChromeBook is relatively very competitive and is about quarter of the price of the MAC Book Air. The amazing thing about the ChromeBook is that people who buy it get 100GB of space online to store all of the data.

This Samsung ChromeBook seems to be best for the users who are not power users of the internet and want a Computer for their personal use or for some small task.

iBooks 3.0 in the Pipeline of Apple Getting Ready for October 23

The last Media Event to be done by Apple is just around the corner and is about a day away. This year Apple will be doing four Media Events after the upcoming Media Event on which the iPad Mini would be announced. This Media Event would be the second Media Event that would be dedicated to the launch of iPad Series. The first Media Event that Apple did was back in February when Apple announced the New iPad. Following that Media Event, WWDC 12 took place in June, then the iPhone 5 Media Event took Place in September, and now is the time for the iPad Mini/Air Media Event to be held on October 23.

Apple teased the iPad Mini Media Event invites by saying, “We Have got a Little More to Show you”, in which the expectations for the iPad Mini were and are high. Other than the iPad Mini, refreshment of MAC lineups is also expected. After these things are done, the Media Event doesn’t ends. There is one more thing that Apple’s iTunes Leaked and no one was expecting that thing to come on the Media Event or never thought of that update would be arriving.

The thing that was leaked by French iTunes Store is an update of iBooks 3.0. We all are using the old version of iBooks 2.0, where as Apple is planning to beef up the old version with the new one that is iBooks 3.0. This amazing piece of information regarding iBooks 3.0 was leaked by iGen, a French Website that discovered the listing of iBooks 3.0 on a French Comic available in the iTunes for download.

This great hint by Apple in the French iTunes regarding the iBooks 3.0 Update makes some sense. The iPad Mini is rumored to have a 7.85-inch Retina Display, which will be used mainly for iBooks in our opinion. This low priced iPad Mini would be released to compete in the small sized tablet market. Therefore, an update to iBooks 3.0 is mandatory because small sized tablet market is mainly focusing on the E-Books Reading and small works that a person can do with the help of a handy tablet.

However, the update of iBooks 3.0 will purely focus on the improvements that might have been made for the iPad Mini compatibility. It is very early to say anything about the iPad Mini or the iBooks 3.0 update.

Just wait till October 23 and you will come to know about that little more thing.

Pakistan is one of those countries where every kind of cell phone is being used starting from top niche to lower niche depending on the niche of people. In the op niche we can count in the iPhone, Galaxy Series by Samsung, Blackberry, and other brand phones that are mostly based on Android. The lower niche contains some low priced Android Phones that are being used by about 30% of the youngster because the prices are low of the phones and they are affordable b them.

This newly announced road show; “Explore the Galaxy” was inaugurated by the Business Head of “IM” Division Samsung Electronics LTD Pakistan, Roy Chang in collaboration with Business Head of Mobile Phone Division Samsung Electronics LTD Pakistan, Farid ullah Jan in Lahore.

1. Galaxy S3

What are the Cities of Pakistan in which the Road Show of “Explore the Galaxy” will be held?

The time span of the road show of “Explore the Galaxy” by Samsung is said to one Month which is further divided into 4 weeks for above mentioned three major cities. This means the road show will stay for about 10-12 weeks per city.

This is a lifetime opportunity to do hands on something that we cannot have until we buy them. We really hope that the road show of “Explore the Galaxy” will motivate many youngsters, professionals, and who ever is interested in the cell phone category to be motivated and stay up to date with the advancement that is being made in the technology these days.

iPad Mini Display Images Leaked Ahead of Official Launch on October 23

The iPad Mini Unveiling is only few days away and the leaks have just taken a start to uncover the upcoming Device before it is officially launched. The same thing is expected to happen with the iPad Mini that happened with the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 leaks started in May and ended on September 12, when the same alleged iPhone 5 was announced by Apple. Before the iPhone 5 could share the stage, the leaks regarding the iPhone 5 started to spread like a fire on the woods. From every where we were seeing the same design of the iPhone 5, which was said to be a rumored design until it wasn’t announced.

When the iPhone 5 was announced, it had the same leaked design. This time the same thing is going to happen with the upcoming iPad Mini that is going to be announced on October 23. As the days are enclosing by, different traders/dealers have started to leak the iPad Mini components in wild. Recently, ETradersglobal leaked the front panel image of the iPad Mini. The front iPad Mini display is of the same alleged height of 7.85-inch. Moreover, the front iPad Mini Display carries the same 4:3 aspect ratio that we are seeing and using in the original iPad series. The height of the iPad Mini Display is 162mm in length and 124mm in width.

The back text on the iPad Mini Display confirms that the displays were manufactured by LG Display.

The labeling did on the iPad Mini Flex cable hints towards the confirmation that the part shown above in the images is genuine because such labeling is seen on original Apple parts.

Other than the iPad Mini Display, ETraderglobal have also published some alleged iPad Mini Battery images.

The iPad Mini is rumored to use 16.7Whr running at 3.72V. This increment in the battery size of the iPad Mini makes the Battery three times larger than the battery of the iPhone 5. This means the iPad Mini will perform much better than other tablets.

All we have to do is just wait for October 23 to arrive and see what Apple has got for us.

The Return of @Comex makes the iPhone 5 iOS 6 Jailbreak Hopes Rise

The long gone iOS Hacker, @Comex was working at Apple as an Intern because he was the kick ass hacker in the iOS Jailbreak community. About a year ago, @Comex left the Jailbreaking scene to work at Apple as an intern. Apple hired @Comex because of intense shame due to his low level exploits that Apple couldn’t patch up that easily. Therefore, Apple offered an internship to this famous iOS Hacker and he happily accepted the offer of Apple and started to work at Apple until today. Today the famous iOS Hacker, @Comex Tweeted something strange on his Twitter account that made the Fans waiting for the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 Jailbreak happy.

Today @Comex announced on his official Twitter account about the terminated internship at Apple about after a year.

So… no point in delaying.As of last week, after about a year, I’m no longer associated with Apple.

— comex (@comex) October 18, 2012

The real person behind the identity of @Comex is Nicholas Allegra. Allegra is the student of Brown University. The reason stated by Allegra regarding the ending of internship at Apple suddenly to Forbes was that he got late to answer the E-mail sent by Apple to him regarding the continuity of the internship at Apple or not.

(As for why?Because I forgot to reply to an email.)

— comex (@comex) October 18, 2012

Andy of Forbes Writes:

When I followed up with Allegra in a phone call, he explained that the email he forgot to answer was an offer to continue his employment at Apple as a remote intern. At Apple, apparently, offer letters are taken rather seriously, and Allegra soon learned that his had been rescinded. “I wasn’t too happy about it, but it didn’t seem like I was able to fix it,” he says. “So that’s what it is.”

As for now the plans of Allegra are to continue his studies at Brown University and no words have been said on the iPhone 5 iOS 6 Jailbreak by him. However, we got another iOS Hacker who Tweeted about the iPhone 5 Tethered Jailbreak.

Upgraded the #failbreak with a kernel exploit so tweaks actually work on iPhone 5. :D Almost a full tethered JB, though need dev account.

— planetbeing (@planetbeing) October 18, 2012

The iOS Hacker is Planet Being. Today he Added an exploit for #Failbreak to make the tweaks work on iOS 6 on iPhone 5 with a full Tethered Jailbreak. To perform this tethered Jailbreak, you need to have a Dev-account. Even if you got the Dev-Account, you cannot go on wit the Tethered Jailbreak because the iOS hackers haven’t released any method to perform the Jailbreak.

“The Play Ground is Open” on October 29, After iPad Mini Media Event

Well-known Tech Companies are joining in the competition by inviting the Media in the last week of October. The well-known Tech companies are Apple, Microsoft, and Google. One competitor after another is placing a Media Event following the preceding Media Event. Following the previous Media Invite that was sent by Apple with the Teaser of, “We’ve got a little more to show you” on October 23. It is highly expected that Apple would be announcing the iPad Mini and few MAC Series refreshments. After Apple Media Event, Microsoft has planned to announce its Surface Tablet in the market on October 29.

The date is exactly six days after the iPad Mini Media Event will take place. Soon the iPad Mini Media event is over, we would be seeing Microsoft taking the stage to announce the Surface Tablet that would be interrupted by the father of all, Google. We can say this a co-incidence or a perfect rivalry plan made by Google to beat out Microsoft the same day by announcing its own Media Event with the teaser of, “The PlayGround is Open”. Today some Blogs started to cite about the Media Invitation received by Google regarding its Media Event taking place on October 29 in New York.

The beauty about the Media Invite is that Google has used a SIRI sort of Mic in its invite with the teaser, “The Play Ground is Open”. This means that Google is going to announce more than one product on its Media event to outshine the upcoming iPad Mini. The expectations are that Google will announce more than one Nexus Device to public. Even we can expect another tablet on the upcoming Media Event by Google because Apple is going to play its move on October 23 and Google will play its move exactly six days after Apple has announced the iPad Mini.

Expect the unexpected to come at October 29 because Google is going to roll out some vast updates. The play ground is open also hints towards a new Jelly bean Update, Nexus Update, invitation to developers to make new Apps, or possibly Google is going to open source some hardware stuff as an invitation for hardware experts to make the devices better and better from time to time.

It is very early to say anything regarding the teaser released by Google. However, the Media Event will take place at 10:00 AM ET on October 29.

Therefore, mark you calendars for the last week of October because heavy releasing is going to be done. On October 23, the iPad Mini gets announced, three days later the iPad Mini announcement, on October 26, the iPhone 5 Launches in India by Apple, and on October 29, Microsoft and Google go head to head on dual Media Events.

Let the show begin.
