Moto X to feature Magic glass display

The most recent leaks of the hugely anticipated Moto X smartphone points to a 'Magic glass' gorilla display. It is just few days before the phone is released and might probably see lights on August 1, 2013. The recent leaks came from Mr. Taylor Wimberly, a technology journalist, who wrote on his Google + page that 'Moto X features something called Moto Magic Glass. This is a single sheet of Gorilla Glass which is molded to a special polymer to make a continuous surface that wraps around the entire front and edges of the device. There is zero gap with the back.'

Cheaper iPhone to be called iPhone 5C? (Rumor)

There are already more than few leaks about a cheaper iPhone from Apple. Now a Chinese website has published an image of what appears to be a plastic packing case. The white case clearly shows iPhone 5C written over it, and there is an Apple logo. The leaked pictures were found on Chinese website  WeiPhone  and spotted  first by Nowhereelse.fr. Like most of the Apple devices, nothing much is known about the specifications of the device. Apple is known to maintain their devices under tight wraps until its official launch. Not much are known to the outside world before they launched officially. This time, however, we have information of the colors and dimensions. iPhone 5C is expected to come in Red, Yellow, Black, White, Blue and Green colors. This information comes from the site Nowhereelse.fr, that displayed images of the device from a Chinese website. A part of the information comes from Tactus, a company manufacturing the iPhone cases.

Google Chromecast TV Gadget launched

Earlier July 24th was expected to be a day to launch the Android 4.3 OS update. Later we heard about the rumors of Nexus 7 being launched on the day. But nothing was discussed or expected about this $35 Chromecast TV Gadget. So what is Google Chromecast? Google chrome  cast is  a tiny device that plugs into the HDMI port of your HD TV and stream the contents on the internet. You can watch videos and do much more using this gadget. But this is not an innovation from Google. We already have similar devices from Apple, Netflix and numerous other makers. So the question is what makes the Google Chromecast device special? First thing that comes to my mind is the price. At $35 it is priced much cheaper than Apple TV. Google also offers 3 months of Netflix subscription, so the price drops for around $24 for those already have Netflix subscription, bringing down the effective price to $11, which is cheap by all standards Another thing is the way it works. Most android s...

Samsung Galaxy S III might get Android 4.3 update instead of 4.2.2

An OS update for Samsung Galaxy S III is already brewing, and we all know it from several leaks. Samsung is expected to offer the 4.2.2 jelly bean to this device. There were several leaks in the past to support this claim. However there is twist in the story now as the temefy website reports that the Samsung R & D is testing Galaxy S III with a Android 4.3 OS. They have an image of the device running on Android 4.3 in their website. The site claims to have procured the data from one of testing devices of an insider.
