The Samsung Galaxy S4 – photos with flexi screen

January 12, 2013Android, Jan 2013, Tech NewsGavin Fabiani-Laymond

These are quick photos taken at CES by The Verge. Could these be the upcoming S4? Is this the device set to become King of Smartphones in 2013.

The design certainly looks cool. And if the flexible screen is unbreakable then we have a winner.

NFC Enabled Oven

I’ve just watched LG’s NFC oven. I just think this technology will make us brainless. Who can’t turn a dial to the right temperature? Would you really want to rub your phone over your oven?

Gazelle has a lovely chart at CES which shows the trade in values of a broken iPhone and a mint S2. And no surprises despite being broken the iPhone is worth more in trade in values.

AT&T – 110,000 sales per day – More info

January 12, 2013Tech NewsGavin Fabiani-Laymond

AT&T will announce its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012 later this month, but the carrier has today confirmed that the quarter saw its “best-ever” sales of both Android and iOS devices. More than 10 million smartphones were sold during the three-month period, with an average of more than 110,000 smartphone sales a day.

It will be interesting to see how many of those were iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3 / Note 2.

What do you think will be the split. I personally are gunning for an iPhone 5 majority but you never know.

2013 The Year Apple Moved to 6m Refresh Cycle

January 11, 2013Apple, Jan 2013, Tech NewsGavin Fabiani-Laymond

There are many rumours that Apple will finally have to move to a 6m refresh cycle for its iPad and iPhone lines in order to keep up with the pace of change from competitors.

I’m not so sure on this one, but it would certainly help keep the product lines fresh from a hardware point of view. If Apple did update every 6m it could only be incremental updates too.

Lets see whether we get 2 new iPads in March, a full size and Mini. What do you think?
