Tablets fighting back against smartphones

by Leave a Comment

tablets or smartphonesAt one point in time, there seemed to be a clear distinction between smartphones and tablets: the former was your go-to device for calling, texting, and checking email, while the latter was used for recreational purposes like gaming and video steaming. However, as more tablets begin to offer calling capabilities, the line between the two devices has become somewhat blurred. Let’s take a look at what improved calling capabilities mean for the future of tablets:

Could a Tablet Replace Your Primary Phone?

Whereas users once had to download apps like Skype and Viber to make VoIP and video calls on their tablets, the next generation of tablets is equipped with all the features you need to turn it into your primary phone. The new Nexus tablet comes with the option of 4G LTE connectivity, as does the new Samsung Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Note devices. The new ASUS Fonepad incorporates full 3G-phone functionality so that users have fast, reliable coverage whenever they want to make a call.

For those who think that a tablet is too large to make phone calls with comfortably, consider this: you don’t have to hold the tablet up to your ear to make a call. Instead, you can take advantage of in-line mic headphones or a Bluetooth headset, thereby eliminating concern over the awkward sizing of tablet devices.

Phone, Tablet, or Phablet?

In reality, tablets aren’t that much larger than top-of-the-line smartphones. After all, the latest trend in smartphones is to make larger displays that are better for browsing, viewing, and gaming. You need look no further than the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4 handsets for examples of this point. The HTC One measures a whopping 137.4mm (5.41”), while the Samsung Galaxy S4 measures 136.7mm (5.38”). Needless to say, it’s a struggle for the average person to fit either one of these devices in the palm of their hand.

By contrast, tablets are more compact than ever. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes in a 151.2mm (5.9”) model, while the Asus FonePad is offered in a slightly larger size—152.4mm (6”). The Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nexus 7, and Asus FonePad all come in 177.8mm (7”) models as well. In fact, the differences between smartphones and tablets are so indistinguishable these days that some of these smaller tablets with phone capabilities are actually being referred to as phone tablets, or “phablets.”

Smartphones and Tablets Go Head to Head

Whether you decide to invest in one of the new phone tablets or stick with a more traditional mobile device like the BlackBerry Z10 or iPhone 5s, one thing is clear: by offering more functionality, tablets are fighting back against smartphones for control of the global market share. But tablet makers have a lot of catching up to do. According to statistics from Tech Crunch, smartphones accounted for 60.1% of the global market share in 2012, while tablets accounted for just 10.7%. It is worth noting that while tablets control only a small portion of the market, sales of these devices grew 78.4% year-on-year in 2012, and are forecasted to grow a whopping 109.9% through 2017, surpassing both desktop and portable PCs in market share. Test out the next generation of tablets to see what everyone is talking about.

by 2 Comments

Just Imagine this, you are sitting in an office bored out of your mind by the monotonous work you doing when suddenly you receive a message beneath the desk, thanks to a intimate smartphone app and lingerie  developed by durex

durex australia phone app

Crazy aussie underwear invention stirs people up  !!

And No, it’s not your sleazy boss or colleague trying to get some extra action, its your boyfriend, across town in his own workplace or at home sending a special touch message via his smartphone to your underwear or might i say Fundawear by durex.

The price for this fundawear is possibly estimated  in the $200 price range in australia

 

check out the –

Durex Fundawear — Touch over the Internet [OFFICIAL] Video here

This brand new wacky and weird invention, from Durex – the world’s largest condom manufacturer – is bound to attract attention due to its not too normal appeal.

Durex has come out with prototype technology which Durex claims allows "physical touch to be transferred wirelessly between couples" which is  called “Fundawear  his and hers”.

How fundawear works?

The couples buy and wear Fundawear – boxers for him and knickers and bra for her – which are pre-fitted out with a series of mini-vibrators.By using the touch screen on their “Durex smart phone app” they send signals via the internet from one phone to another, which sets off the vibrations in the underwear or fund a wear.

What is even more interesting is the speed and sequence of the stimulation can be controlled by pushing the right buttons on the touch screen.

This device is pretty much a wireless tickler or stimulator whatever you may like to call it  – Upstairs? Downstairs? Faster or slower.  Whatever your lover prefers. Sending a erotic message via your smartphone just got more personal  and intimate  irrespective of distance between partners  and if not used properly could lead to a sticky situation. This underwear has been extensively tested for replicate the sensuous touch in a  Australian bio mimicry lab by the developers

Last year students at MIT created the Like-A-Hug jacket, which inflates to "hug" the wearer whenever someone "likes" one of their Facebook posts and in in 2006 London-based designers CuteCircuit created an internet-controlled HugShirt. although there are much more explicit inventions like LovePalz and Vibease released int he market.

According to durex australia ”Fundawear is an innovation from Durex that allows touch to be transferred over the internet. Visit http://www.durexperiment.com.auto find out more & get Fundawear for yourself.”

The project is still in the planning stage with only a few samples currently available to test public reaction and is surely set to turn people on when released to the public , not to mention awkward situation in the meeting rooms

Amnet Internet is fair Dinkum

by Leave a Comment

I switched from IInet to amnet or amcom telecom about 4 years ago and  definetly a happy camper.Despite of tempting things like Naked DSL and  other nice offers, i have stuck with amnet. I was with TPG  telecom before ..good plans.. but bad service

amcom telecom Ipo Perth australia Fibre NBN

Prompt and reliable internet broadband -Amnet

Its just because they are a smaller company and they provide good service . Over the period i had their internet connection they have had problems only twice, and eve when they did  , both times i was quite surprised that they called immediately saying  that their Bulwer exchange had a problem and they were currently fixing it , NOW that’s personal service.

Good Internet download limits, Local human customer service personnel

Their broadband is fast enough and their speeds and limits are awesome, infact tehy were giving me 150 GB download limits long before the top internet providers started doing the same. One thing thats very important for me is getting a local human on the customer line who cares, and amcom certainly does have that and  on the 2 occasions that i needed some support i got real nice friendly an prompt service from a customer rep.

If you looking for a reliable , good internet provider , you surely cant go  past amcom , there might be other providers a bit cheaper or with more download limits.. but it certainly makes up for that with good and reliable customer service  and broadband.

Special offer – Amnet Australian ISP

They recently had a special offer of a  FREE month and FREE connection on the 12 and 24 month  and also being fair to older customers “12 oldest residential customers  were given a free month each to share in the 12 th birthday celebrations

Get a free ipad 2 for refferals
