A review of Google Nexus 7, Preorder, price and specifications

So the Nexus 7 is all set to release in India on April 5th. The device is available for a grab at the Google play store. 

Lets take a look at the specifications

The display is a 7-inch backlit IPS HD display with 1200 X 800 resolution that has a corning gorilla glass. A sad thing though is this doesn't have a SIM card slot and connects only by WiFi. 

The best part though is that even-though the shipping is supposed to start on the 5th of April, people who has ordered the tablet has already started getting the product, well before the release date. I think companies like Micromax has got a lot to learn from this!

So if you want to buy your nexus 7, just go ahead. for 16K INR, this is sure a nice grab! Buy now! 

iPhone 5S fails, explodes while talking

Imagine you talking on your cellphone and all of a sudden the cell phone explodes! Yes, this is quite a possibility and a few days ago it just happened. Now if you thought this phenomenon could occur only with low grade manufacturing quality cell phones, you are wrong. This has happened with Galaxy S2, S3, Note and the recent victim in this explosion line up is none other than the iPhone 5S!


This happened in Thailand when Suwicha Auesomsaksakul, talking on an iPhone 5, not even 30 seconds (he says so!) started feeling  a warm/burning sensation on his ears. What he then saw was smoke coming out of his phone. Completely perplexed, the guy threw the phone on the floor and it just started exploding like a set of lit up fire crackers!

What to buy, Android or iOS tablet? Sales figures say Android

The day when Steve Jobs released the first iPhone, we all thought that the future was iOS. It was such a treat to the eyes and all we tech lovers fell in love with the idea. Little did we think that another OS platform was going to take over the iOS platform and one day even out run its reach with a style and simplicity factor!

They already have taken over the Smaprtphone market and the sales figures shows that they have outrun the iOS sales. Now it is time to take over the tablet industry and and Android is on the verge of doing that! A small example is the sale of Nexus 7. in 2013, its expected to sell about 191 Million units as compared to 173 previously. 

The Android tablet market in 2012 was 41.5% and now it has plummeted to a good 48.8% in 2013. Where as iOS has slipped down from 51% to 46%. The sales figure says it all.
