There is many accessories for our devices these days and the supply will always continue but here is something quite cool and i think this will do rather well and it looks like a typical ipad case but its not its much more than that,its a new product called Phorm made by tactus
Tactus brings real physical buttons that dynamically appear and disappear into a flat touch screen. Never again will you have to choose between thin stylish devices with edge-to-edge touchscreens and amazing usability. Mobile can truly mean productivity, immersive gaming, and adaptive interfaces with Tactus.
Another bonus is that this does not need your devices battery either. Finger Guides allow you to feel the letters so you can strike the right target as you type. Soon you’ll be typing fluently without even looking.
It looks like it will take time to adjust from the traditional feel of your tablet in general but it would not be hard to adapt,we are in a fast changing world and we are now becoming able to adapt quickly example being moving from smaller screened phones to phablets,who would of thought it at the beginning of the phablet boom…
Check out more over at Phorm you can now pre-order this for the iPad mini for $99
As mentioned during the week with W10 TP now available people wondered if we could roll back should we have issues or do not like it could we roll back to 8,1 and the answer was yes,and now the option has arrived for those that wish to do so.
This is now available for users to download to their PC..

Facebook have now introduced a featured so that when you die you can have someone look after it for you,some might find it a bit morbid but im sure there is plenty out there who would like to see their digital legacy continue,its happened before with some stars that have past with people managing their accounts and there is a surge of digital legacy companies setting up in the last couple of years which shows its a trend.
Facebook however are taking a different approach by allowing a user to select somebody to to act on their behalf. This is only allowed in the US for now but surely will become more available over the coming months.
Today we’re introducing a new feature that lets people choose a legacy contact—a family member or friend who can manage their account when they pass away. Once someone lets us know that a person has passed away, we will memorialize the account and the legacy contact will be able to:
If someone chooses, they may give their legacy contact permission to download an archive of the photos, posts and profile information they shared on Facebook. Other settings will remain the same as before the account was memorialized. The legacy contact will not be able to log in as the person who passed away or see that person’s private messages.
Alternatively, people can let us know if they’d prefer to have their Facebook account permanently deleted after death.
Until now, when someone passed away, we offered a basic memorialized account which was viewable, but could not be managed by anyone. By talking to people who have experienced loss, we realized there is more we can do to support those who are grieving and those who want a say in what happens to their account after death.
Open your settings. Choose Security and then Legacy Contact at the bottom of the page.
After choosing your legacy contact, you’ll have the option to send a message to that person.
You may give your legacy contact permission to download an archive of the posts, photos and profile info you’ve shared on Facebook.
We’ve also redesigned memorialized profiles to pay tribute to the deceased by adding “Remembering” above their name and making it possible for their legacy contact to pin a post to the top of their Timeline.
Sky News and Sky Sports have joined Snapchat,some might find it odd and as ever they have had some funny comments thrown at them on Twitter,most would see Snapchat as a kids platform but everyone has their own opinion,personally im not bothered about Snapchat ..
They can be found in the discover tab alongside some other well known names such as MTV,Yahoo News,National Geographic and the Mail Online. Snapchat Discover launched in the US and globally at the end of January.
Around 5 to 10 stories will feature in each edition, curated by editors at both companies. The edition disappears after 24 hours.
Snapchat chief executive Evan Spiegel said: “We are huge fans of Sky News and Sky Sports and are grateful for the opportunity to partner with their outstanding team.”
Snapchat is one of a new wave of messaging apps that have gained popularity, along with WhatsApp, Line and Kik.
Moving from messaging between users to publishing content to them is a shift for Snapchat and could offer a new revenue stream, with adverts served up next to publishers’ editions.
Snapchat does not share its number of monthly users, but Techcrunch reported in December that it had around 200 million.
For news organisations, Snapchat offers access to a much younger demographic than even Facebook or Twitter do.
John McAndrew, Director of News Output for Sky News, said: “Our partnership with Snapchat is very exciting. We can reach a whole new audience hungry for news in a concise and creative form on a platform they already enjoy.”
What do you think of this news from Sky ?
A couple of days ago we spoke that Microsoft is going to release a Preview of Windows 10 for phones some point this month, and now we can be safe that if something goes wrong and is to much to look at, we can go back to WP 8.1.1
Thanks to a Tweet of the man who apparently never sleeps has now confirmed that such tool exists and will be able to all of us.
Stay tuned for more Buzz!
