0 iWatch may be the next Big Thing by Apple

Speaking of the future, it looks like there’s a good chance there will be an Apple-made watch in it. That means two things are on their way: Tons of speculation and an equal amount of “iWatch” puns and wordplay. 

 According to reports, Apple is definitely working on some sort of wrist wear that could be out in the very near future. If you choose to believe the latest reports, the supposed iWatch is definitely in production, whether we want it to be real or not. With other options already beating Apple to the market with the smart watch idea, Apple will have to step up its game. 

 We know the company has been down this path before with the iPod Nano as an accessory, but we’re hoping this idea is a little better than a wearable afterthought. Let’s all fast forward two years when smart watches are a whole market and reports about the latest one with a 6-inch screen.

Yet another Rumor of iWatch is Below :

0 Government plans to reduce price of the Aakash 2 tablet to Rs 1,500 ($28)

The world’s cheapest tablet, the Aakash 2 , just got cheaper! Kapil Sibal, India’s IT and Telecom Minister, announced at a media event in Delhi that the government has asked the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, the partner in the Aakash project, to reduce the price of the Aakash tablet to Rs 1,500 (~$28). Currently, the Indian government is buying the Aakash 2 from manufacturers DataWind at Rs 2,263 (~$43), while offering the same to the Indian student community at a highly-subsidized rate of Rs 1,131(~$22).

 What this low price point will get you is a 7-inch capacitive display with 800 x 480 resolution, single-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage expandable via microSD up to 32GB, a 0.3MP front-facing camera, and a 3,000mAh battery. Obviously not the best specs around, but at that price, and considering the target consumer base, the Aakash tablet is absolutely  amazing!

 With plans to reduce the Rs 2,263 price point evenfurther down to Rs 1,500, it’s logical that the device might get even cheaper for Indian students, expanding its reach even further to the millions of students currently a part of the Indian education system. Of course, while the idea is impressive, execution has been a huge problem so far. The first Aakash tablet announced two years back never made it. The Aakash 2 has been plagued with logistical difficulties as well, and is not even close to reaching the targets that had been set by the government.

 What are your thoughts? While the plans sound good, do you think it will ever come to fruition, at least the extent the government has planned? Are you waiting to pick up an Aakash 2 tablet?

0 iPhone Mini -- This Could Be Apple's Next Big Thing

Rumors are circulating that Apple plans to counter Samsung’s ever-increasing control over the smartphone market by releasing a petite version of the iPhone, dubbed by pundits the iPhone mini. Could a ‘Honey I shrunk the iPhone’ version of the smartphone be the next big thing to come out of Cupertino?

 While it might seem like Apple has a tight grip over the smartphone market with the iPhone, Samsung is a bigger player. During 2013 Samsung smartphone sales are predicted to grow 35 percent, from 215 million last year to 290 million. In contrast, Apple sales are tipped to grow by 33 percent, to 180 million.

 This shift means that Samsung will command 33 percent of the smartphone market, compared to Apple’s 21 percent.
