The New Nokia 110 And 112 Dual-SIM Phones!

Nokia is definitely a force to reckon with in the smartphones world of today, but they definitely are not losing sight of their low end customers with the launch of their new Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 dual-SIM phones. The phones are all about being social, with direct access to Facebook and Twitter from the home screen, and the eBuddy IM service preloaded.

They may not be the ideal hardwares for viewing HD movies, but are likely adequate to pass for viewing the shots taken with the VGA camera. Talking about a stripped-down phone with prices to match; the 110 landing at around 35€ and the 112 just three euros more.

Symbian Belle for 35€? Make I go wash my eyes abeg...

Safely Remove USB Drives By Just Unplugging Them!

Over time we have become so conditioned to go through a few clicks before being assured we are disconnecting our USB devices safely.

Theoretically, this process is necessary to ensure that Windows is not busy reading or writing onto the device before disconnecting it, which can result in data loss or, in some cases, damage to the device!

Windows 8: This Is What It Looks Like!

Love it or hate it, Microsoft has taken a huge leap with this OS. Gone are the days of boring interfaces with annoying rigidity. Better days are here for sure. I don't know which side of the bed Microsoft woke up on when they thought this up but it definitely makes a whole lot of sense. Although there's been some little complaints here and there, but don't worry y'all will get used to this one in no time. In my opinion, I think it's a laudable change.

Unboxing The BlackBerry Porche!

Google Drive Launched With 5GB Free Storage Space!









Behind the grammar, Google Drive is basically a repackaged Google Docs sent into the clouds! You can store your documents, photos, music, videos, etc. all in one place.

It syncs with your mobile devices and your computer, so if you make a change from one gadget, it will automatically show up if you were to access it elsewhere. It also tracks changes you make on-the-go (but always push the 'Save' button!).

Nokia N9: Thanks, But No Thanks.













The Nokia N9 is surely a candidate for one of the most pleasant, fast and thoughtfully designed phones you are going to see around. There’s a lot of things to like about the N9: (bullet) the quality and responsiveness of the touch screen, the nifty ‘swiping’ features, the general look and feel of the (unibody) hardware, the navigation and ‘Drive’ applications, the curved glass, the camera quality, the way notifications work, the incoming updates river view, the lack of buttons, built-in NFC capabilities, and so on. Thumbs up Nokia!
