MotoX Launched

Google MotoX Launched

Motorola MotoX pair with nfc bluetooth speakerGoogle and Motorola have officially unveiled the Android run Google Moto X, the company's latest smartphone. The Moto X is the first smartphone designed under the auspices of both Google and Motorola and manufactured in USA.


Available for $199 (16GB) or $249 (32GB) with a contract, the Moto X will be available on all major U.S. carriers at either the end of August or early September. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular will selling the phone at their stores and at national retailers, including Best Buy. The phone will be available for purchase on all carriers, including T-Mobile, at motorola.com.

The Moto X sports a 4.7-inch 720p screen and has a dual-core processor, a quad-core GPU and 2GB of system RAM. It includes support for the 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and it supports Miracast (wireless HDMI) and NFC.

It has a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 10-megapixel rear camera. The rear camera uses Clear Pixel technology, which is supposed to capture 75% more light than a traditional RGB sensor. Motorola says that means it can take photos twice as fast in bright light, which means less motion blur.

The phone also has a specially designed custom battery that promises 31% additional capacity, while keeping the shape of the phone comfortable to hold.

The phone has Corning Gorilla Glass for the screen and the internals are have a water-repellent coating, which should make the phone safe to use in the rain.

One of the big differentiators of the Moto X is customization: If you buy one online, you'll be able to choose from over 2,000 color combinations via the company's MotoMaker suite (exclusive to AT&T for a limited time). Although the front comes only in black and white, several different colors are available for the back and highlights. You can also get an engraving. And since the phones are assembled in Fort Worth, Tex., you'll get your phone in four days, Motorola says.

Moto X buyers will also get an extra 50GB of Google Drive storage for two years — in addition to the 15GB free offered to all users.

Google sending Google Glass Invitations

Google has begun rolling out invitations for Google Glass similar to what it did for Google+ and other new applications it launches.

Ryan Mott,Glass Explorer program member for early adopters, posted a screenshot of an email from Glass Support to his Google+ profile.




The Application form looks something like this.



It will be interesting how this kicks in as we have seen people selling the G+ invites on Ebay, something similar might start happening for Google Glass too. But in all the gain will be for Google.

New Google Nexus 7 : Sleeker and more Powerful

New Google Nexus 7 : Sleeker and more Powerful

Google has introduced a sleeker version of its Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 8064 processor rated at 1.5GHz.

Nexus 7 brings you the perfect mix of power and portability and features the world’s sharpest 7” tablet screen - putting over 2.3 million pixels in the palm of your hand.

With 323 pixels packed into every inch, you can read text that’s sharper than the printed page, see images more vivid than the highest quality photo magazine, and watch videos come to life in vibrant 1080p HD.

The device, which touts a high-definition LCD display, comes with 5.0MP rear-facing and 1.2MP front-facing cameras, Bluetooth 4.0 and a micro USB 2.0 port for power and data transfer.

The new mobile operating system will allow users to access restricted profiles, limiting content for certain users. This can be used not only for parental controls, but also in places such as mall kiosks to limit accessibility.


The specs were not necessarily a surprise, especially after the 16 GB and 32 GB devices popped up on Best Buy's website hours before the event. The retailer's site listed the price for the 7-inch tablet at $229.99 for 16GB of memory and $269.99 for 32GB. You can find the full listing on Best Buy's site.

Google is also shipping a new 4G LTE version, priced at $349, which comes unlocked and will work with any carrier. It boasts nine hours of video playback and 10 hours of web browsing.

The all-new Nexus 7 will be available in the US beginning July 30 (with more countries coming soon!).

Google Chromecast : Stream Content from Netfilx, Google play and more to Television

Google Chromecast : Stream Content from Netfilx, Google play and more to Television

With Chromecast, you can easily enjoy your favorite online entertainment on your HDTV—movies, TV shows, music, and more from Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, and Chrome. No more huddling around small screens and tiny speakers. Chromecast automatically updates to work with a growing number of apps.

Chromecast is an HDMI dongle that communicates with video and audio apps — including YouTube, Netflix and Pandora — running on Android or iOS, and transfers that content to your big screen HDTV.

Users can then control content on the big screen using apps on their phones or tablets. Users can also "cast" content from the Chrome browser to the Chromecast. There's also beta support for bringing any Chrome tab to the Chromecast.

Right now, the Chromecast will support:

  • YouTube
  • Netflix
  • Google Play
  • Google Music
  • Chrome for Windows, Mac and Chromebook Pixel
Chromecast is priced at $35 with 3 months of unlimited Netflix access and is a competition to Apple TV.
