Windows 8


Windows 8 is the latest version of Microsoft Windows, an operating system from Microsoft, for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, media center PCs.

System Requirements

1 GHz or faster processor
1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit),
16 GB of available disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit),
video card with support for DirectX 9 and WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

Samsung Galaxy S3


When launched in the market recently, it was assumed that Samsung had made a backward move regarding its handset design which bears a very close resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy S. On the contrary, this was a strategy by Samsung to gain an advantage with its noticeably curved glossy look (from the back) and organic design to withstand severity. A design job well done on the nicely rounded corners and conveniently placed power button, and despite the Samsung Galaxy S3 being large (136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm) in dimensions, comfortably fits in hand.

SPECIFICATIONS     

Screen A bright 4.8 inches screen with a brilliant HD ready resolution, the screen has been well designed to pack huge amount of details for movie viewing, video making and web browsing. It is one of the sleekest super-AMOLED phones in which the colors leap vividly with ultrafast response on the display screen.      Processor plus performance When it comes to graphic performance, nothing beats the hardware performance with software compatibility than the Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with the Xenos 4212 Quad processor performing on Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU making it the fastest and strongest multitasking. To add more it has Mali-400MP GPU.   
  
Interface        

Built with the clone of SIRI, the S-Voice interface can interact, provide suggestions and perform tasks. This smart voice-activated assistance can be called upon to check phone numbers, set an alarm, make a call and other basic activities. S-voice is indeed a smart move by the Samsung to clash with other competitors.     
Camera
Drafted with an 8MP camera with 3264x2448 pixels, auto-focus, and LED flash. It reflects a commendable job done in delivering detailed, well-exposed, and colorful images, while the apps are easy to use. Furthermore it has features like quick snap where a continuous frame of 8 snaps could be taken at a stretch.

OTHER FEATURES

Other notable features to be mentioned can be its 2G, 3G, 4G (regional) network capability; Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection with Touch Wiz UI v4.0; 16/32/64 GB internal memory with 1GB RAM and 64 GB micro SD; camera features with geo-tagging, touch focus, voice activated commands, face and smile detection and image stabilization; the sensors (accelerometer, gyro, RGB, proximity, compass, barometer) are top-notch. Features like Smart Stay eye tracking, Dropbox (50 GB storage), social media, YouTube, and much more can be obtained from Samsung’s official website. Not lacking all the wow features like the classy looks, stunning display and practically mind-blowing performance, Samsung Galaxy S3 has been worth the wait. 



i Phone 5

Introduction

The iPhone 5. As in five million units sold over the course of a … weekend. Can't say no to that. This is the latest installment in the smartphone series that changed the mobile phone industry and we can understand people couldn't wait. Now, what is it they couldn't wait for?
The Apple iPhone 5 brings the long anticipated larger screen and more capable internals that we already know are ready to trade blows with the most powerful chipsets out there.

There's also the new slender, slimmer body that no photos really do justice to. If all of Apple's claims are true then the iPhone 5 is a real engineering masterpiece - double the performance in a more compact package without sacrificing anything in terms of battery life.
They could've done worse. A lot worse. But this is Apple telling you to prepare to be wowed. So you have every right to play hard-to-please.
