Apple set to release bigger-screen iPhones

NEW YORK: Apple is planning to release two new versions of its iPhones with larger screens this year to meet competition from rival handset makers, the Wall Street Journalreported Friday.

The report, which follows rumors circulating for several weeks on technology blogs, indicates Apple will come out with the two devices in the second half of 2014.

It said one will have a screen larger than 4.5 inches (11.4 centimeters) diagonally, compared with the four-inch display on current iPhones.

A second model will have a display bigger than five inches, according to the report, which said both would have metal casings.

But Apple will not be using curved displays used by some rivals including Samsung andLG of South Korea.

The news comes amid broad success of large-screen smartphones, sometimes called "phablets" because they combine the features of a phone and tablet computer.

Samsung's Galaxy Note series, with a 5.7-inch display, is one example of a successful phablet.

Juniper Research forecast this week that shipments of phablets will breach 120 million units by the year 2018. An estimated 20 million phablets were shipped last year, according to Juniper.

Micromax, announced, that it was launching operations in Russia, it’s first market in Europe. In an official press release the company said, that it “aims to have an aggressive plan to make its mark in the Russian mobile handset market and plans to offer innovative products customised to the needs of consumers in Russia.”

Micromax, is partnering with VVP Group in Russia for distribution and the Canvas and Bolt smartphones will be launched in the country. Micromax said that it will launch 14 products in the Russian market in the initial phase, and aims to be among the Top 4 brands in Russia by the end of 2014. It also plans to have 60 operational service centers by end of the month in important cities in Russia.

Commenting on the launch, Mr Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Micromax said in a press statement, “Our initial focus in the Russian market is to replicate the success witnessed in our other markets in the last couple of years. We have carved the vision for ourselves to be the 1st Indian hardware brand to be global and set our footprint with Russia as the first developed market to venture into.”

He added, “We see a growing trend of data consumption through mobile devices in Russia, and we would be initiating partnerships with the leading operators in the region to aim at efficient data consumption on our devices in the coming year.”

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Vasily Sibirtsev, Chairman VVP Group said, “We are very excited to work with Micromax, one of the world’s leading mobile phone brands. We will be working aggressively to strengthen our presence in the retail space across 9000+ sales points in the country backed by an efficient service infrastructure.”

Micromax has with other service providers in Russia including Odnoklassniki which is Russia’s popular social network service; IVI.ru, which is Russia’s first free video & music service, and Viber as part of the launch. Micromax plans to support the launch with a heavy-duty branding exercise, similar to the one we have seen in India.

BlackBerry to bring BBM Voice & Channels on Android and iOS

After BBM for Android and iOS, BlackBerry plans to bring its other renowned features on rival mobile platforms. According to a report by BusinessLine, Blackberry is all set to launch BBM Voiceand BBM Channels on competing platforms. However, there is no word on the exact date of availability.

Late last year, we saw Blackberry introduce its popular messaging service for Android and iOS users. The company later disclosed that it witnessed more than 10 million downloads on the first day itself. The number increased manifold, and BBM was downloaded about 40 million times by the end of 2013. Probably to continue the momentum, the company now plans to bring its other features to the leading mobile platforms.

Let’s quickly brush through BBM Voice and BBM Channels. BBM Voice allows users to call/text anywhere in the world for free over Wi-Fi, provided both have access to BBM Voice. While on a BBM Voice call, users can still respond to BBM messages, check emails or even access other apps. Just like other some messaging services, it shows the BBM Voice icon beside a person’s name to indicate if the person is available.

BBM Channels is a new social networking feature within BBM that takes the sharing experience beyond your friends and acquaintances. It also allows channel creators to generated unlimited number of followers.

After BBM, this is yet another move by BlackBerry to leverage its apps and services market. The company has also tied up with popular local manufacturer Micromax, which means the Canvas series will now come preloaded with the BlackBerry Messenger.

Firstpost also has a BBM Channel. You can follow us on BBM or add us via the pin:C002E13E7.

BANGALORE: Tech-savvy Karnataka government is offering free Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) to citizens of the state capital to accessinternet and stay connected with their near and dear ones on social media. 

Touted to be the first of its kind in the country, the facility - Namma Wi-Fi (802.11N) will allow citizens to use smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops and other mobile devices to connect to internet seamlessly when they are around MG Road and Brigade Road in downtown or at Shantinagar or Yeshwantpur bus terminals and at upscale Indiranagar in the city's eastern suburb. 

"The facility is a first step to make Bangalore a smart and connected city," internet and Wi-Fi service provider D-VoiS Broadband Ltd managing director Ramesh Satya told IANS here. 

Initiated by the state IT department and the state government's ICT (information and communications technologies) group, the facility will be extended to 10 other hotspots across the city later this year. 

To use the service, a user will need to have an authentication password, which will be sent to his or her mobile number after he registers on the network. 

"When a mobile user is present in any of the five hotspots, he will be able to connect by configuring his device to our ION service and access internet after registering and getting the password," Satya said. 

As the facility is being offered at the state's initiative, all government services such as Sakala, a time-bound service delivery are available on the home page. 

"With a speed of up to 512 Kbps (kilo bytes per second), a user will have connectivity within the coverage area. Usage, however, will be limited to three hours a day or up to 50 MB data," Satya clarified. 

The facility is expected to benefit thousands of people visiting the five hotspots located in commercial areas.
