The “C” in Apple’s Budget iPhone 5C is perceived as Cheap or Color. The new low end iPhone is reportedly cheaper by $200-300 and will have polycarbonate casing in 5 different colors. This is seen as the firm’s response to consumer’s demand for affordable yet capable smartphones.
Michael Morgan, analyst at ABI Research says that “the days of great growth in the high end of the market are gone.” That is why Apple has made efforts to venture into emerging markets .CEO Tim Cook, reportedly, went to China twice to strike a tie-up deal with China Mobile, world’s largest telco operator with 740 million subscribers. If the agreement goes through, Apple could achieve tremendous growth in China which, currently, has only 4.8% market share. In comparison, rival Samsung enjoys 17.6%.

We are on the final countdown of Samsung’s launch of it’s next flagship smart phone Galaxy Note 3. It is expected to unveil at the Berlin Radio Show in Germany similar to the announcement of predecessors Note 1 and 2. Samsung has sent out invitation to the event with hints on what to expect. Notice the phrase “note the date”. Note 2 was billed a success with 5 million units sold within 2 months of release. However, with Samsung’s introduction of newer technologies, some analysts predict a more huge hype on Note 3 which could surpass Galaxy S4s unprecedented sales record of 10 million units sold in 27 days. That remains to be seen. Do you think Samsung will again succeed with it’s Note 3 offering ?

Most consumers put off purchases of tablets and wait for the new iPad 5 expected to be released later this year. Research firm IDC recently cited this, as the reason why global tablet sales fall 9.7%. Tom Mainelli, research director at IDC, said in a statement, “A new iPad launch always piques consumer interest in the tablet category and traditionally that has helped both Apple and its competitors. With no new iPads, the market slowed for many vendors, and that’s likely to continue into the third quarter.

Released last July 22, 2013, Leap Motion Controller is a small, lightweight device that allows control of computers with the movement of your fingers. Yes it is almost like what you’ve seen in futuristic movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise. An elegant replacement to the mouse or an alternative to touchscreen, you can navigate a website, draw with high-precision, play games and much more. This motion-sensing technology comes with a “cool” factor at an attractive price of US$79.99. However, with limited available apps thus far, it doesn’t have much practical application yet. We hope they will include voice and facial recognition control scheme. We might have to wait for an upgrade or complementary apps to be developed to fully unleash it’s true potential.

With all the hype that is happening in andoid smartphones, still, I am immovable in switching from the iOS phone. Few months back, my phone carrier has offered me an android Samsung tablet with a very reasonable monthly due, I was seduced by the offer and finally got my very first android tablet.
Being a user of an iOS device for almost 3 years now, I was excited to try and compare the android’s interface. But to my disappointment, I have experienced unpleasant encounters with it that in just few weeks of usage, I sold it to my colleague.
