WebOS Back on the top

Wow, that was ,AWESOME, HP Wrapped up their WebOS event in san francisco a few hours ago and all i can say at this moment in time is ,wow like seriously well done. Some of the products shown are truly revolutionary and also pretty cute, HP released 2 smartphones and a tablet (yes the mythical WebOS tablet was revealed)

HP Pre 3
This is all about the speed baby

CPU it packs a 1.4Ghz single core processor, 1.4Ghz! that is mental we are only just getting dual-core phones of 2Ghz and samsung is pushing their 1.2Ghz orion chips, but this snapdragon  seems so powerful its unbelievable.

Screen a welcome change from WebOS devices of the past, gone is the tiny 3.1inch screen with the lowly screen resolution, HP is grabbing it by the horns with a 3.6inch 800x480 WVGA display, Now from what we know (which isnt much) im just going to guess its a normal LCD display but it looks incredibly vibrant i'll say that.

Keyboard i know most of you who have used a Pre loathed the keybord,but no more, this is the largest keyboard they have ever put on a mobile device and thats saying something, but this is aweosme the keys look alot more firm than mushy they are well spaced out,not cramped up like Pre's of the past were you had to use your nails to type.

PS the camera is 5MP and is autofocus and finally can shoot in 720P HD


HP Veer
Cute as a button ,but slightly more powerful

Think of the veer as an upgrade to the pixi, but in physical terms as a squashed down pre, and thats not a bad thing because this thing is so cute im definitely UK.

CPU next-gen 800Mhz snapdragon processor, see this chipset is fast on phone that have large scrren and other stuff on a phone with a 2.6inch screen this thing screams more than 1Ghz running nexus S

Screen now the screen is sort of the same as the pixi but it has more in relation to the Pre2 and Pre3 , it has the same size and resolution of the pixi at 2.6inches and 320x400 , but it if flat instead of curved, it uses gorilla glass on the front for extra security and its capacitive with multi-touch just as speedy and responsive as before.

Keyboard now this is where people will get worried or turned off,the veer houses a full QWERTY keyboard in this tiny form factor, and people will be having night terrors about the original Pre, have no fear HP have said they have manufactured this the same way as the Pre3 and have used extensive research to find out what people want when typing on the keyboard.

other a 5MP rear camera with Autofocus no word on whether it will be able to record 720P HD Video


HP TouchPad
The TouchPad is the rival the ipad has needed and wanted lets delve deeper into this might beast in the façade of a unicorn.

CPU 1.2Ghz dual core snapdragon , currently the highest clock speed in any dual-core mobile device, it blazes through any task you want it to, switching between apps and trying to run this device into the ground seems doubtful when all of this is on-board, its hard to fail also its coupled with 1GB RAM.

Screen a 9.7inch LCD display with a resolution of 1024x768 , not much else really ,just an awesome screen

Software this runs WebOS in tablet form, which is WebOS yeah but its called WebOS 3.0 , and i wonder if we'll see webOS 3.0 come to WebOS Smartphones ,android 3.0 as well ? coincidence i think not.but yeah the first device to ship and run WebOS 3.0

Camera this has a 1.3MP front facing camera for video telephony ,but that is all, there is no rear camera, but if we are honest would you really use a tablet as a camcorder ? you would look a bit of a prat there if i saw you using it like that.

network there will be a WiFi only Touchpad coming out in summer with 3G (and 4G if your in america) variants

audio and last but most definitely not least , the inclusion of beats by dre into the touchpad for AWESOME music playback , the sound quality on beats by dre is excellent because of the technology , and obviously this can only happen seeing as HP Own the company that makes beats by dre


Now guys im definitely getting a Veer over a Pre3 because i dont need the power of the Pre 3,i already carry around 2 fully fledged smartphone a blackberry and a n android device,if i could carry all 3 i would but if i had to choose 3 i think i would give android the boot (sorry andy the android) and the veer is the device that suits me, if its priced competitively it will be a real winner.

comment down below on what you thought of these products and what you think of WebOS in general, do you love it but hated the old and dated hardware, did you hate it for soft and hardware i want to know everything.

Should People consider a mid-range phone for their next upgrade?

2013 has been a bit of an odd year,for Smartphones that is, Every year we are basically conditioned to believe that we want the biggest and best phones that are available at that time, but that's actually changing,This year we have seen OEM's create "mini" versions of their phones, and for once, They.Don't.Suck This, is the Galaxy S4 Mini, From Samsung, it doesn't have the most mind-blowing specs , its a dual-core Snapdragon 400 (Krait 300) , it's got an 8MP camera from the Galaxy S III, it's pretty thin and pretty light, it's got a 4.3" qHD (960x540)  Super AMOLED screen, also the Design of the Galaxy S4 and some other stuff. And guess what, it's doesn't lag,and the Minor bits of lag that are there are Touchwiz based,which are being remedied as we speak, same as the Larger Galaxy S4, which ad software glitches which caused it to lag, they are being ironed out as we speak. And yes, the Screen might not be HD, but it kinda does...

Why I'm not a fan of the OnePlus 2

Photo credit from GSMArena To those that Follow me on twitter it's no surprise to you that I was very underwhelmed with the OnePlus 2, but it's hard to explain why in 140 Characters, so here I'm going to expand a bit more on the things I’m not a fan of and why. First up is the USB-C Port. Now as we already know, USB-C the Port isn’t the same as USB-C W/USB3.1, the Damn USB-C, it's there,but not quite there. latter is the all singing all dancing version of USB-C, nothing has this yet (the closest we have so far is the new MacBook and Chromebook Pixel, that use most of this, except at USB3 speeds, or what has retroactively been called, USB3.1 Gen1). The OnePlus 2 though, like the Nokia N1 before it, isn't doing any of this, it hasn't got support for up to 100w, it doesn’t transfer data at the blisteringly fast 10gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2) or 5gbps (USB3.0/3.1 Gen1), no the USB-C port on the OnePlus 2 is USB2 based, that’s right 480mbps, same as microUSB in ph...

Sony Smartwatch 2 SW2 Review

Launched in the tail end of 2013, the Sony Smartwatch 2 (SW2) is not Sony's most recent wearable, but it's the last in Sony's line of Smartwatches running their own OS. The SW2 is a relatively pretty Smartwatch with a fair few bugs that keeps it from being great. Scratchy scratch number one Utilising an aluminium frame, a "scratch resistant" glass  and a metal strap the SW2 has all the pieces of the puzzle on paper to make it a gorgeous piece of hardware, unfortunately Sony got to the last hurdle and stumbled, they used capacitive navigation buttons which mimic Android's old style ones, before Android 4.0 ICS, the power button on the side was as mushy as all heck and lastly, the scratch proof glass isn't all that scratch proof. The Aluminium frame is anodised black, and chamferred  on the top edges, and just like every device that has ever been chamferred and polished, it scratches and dings so quickly I've forgotten what mine looks like witho...
