I am a VR head its safe to say,Since the launch of Gear VR I have taken quite an interest in the platform and its something thats interesting and with the ability to see things in a different perspective sure why is it not interesting.. To get that real immersive feeling you need the right tools, At a consumer level Merge VR have pulled it off in every way not only with looks but in all departments.
The consumer wins here you may ask why… Well lets look at Oculus,HTC and the likes you pay big money for the base product and that does not end there you need the hard-wear to back it up,we will need to purchase a laptop or PC that could fly a rocket into space to get the full functional experience of these headsets which again are cumbersome and heavy and over a long period of time your head will hurt. However there are new OEMs to the market with their own headset such as LG but Samsung still win the more favourable and immersive race at a consumer level price which can reach the masses,but the content lacks,to be fair it does all round in the VR race…Yes I have tried HTC Vive and Oculus here at some events they are indeed great but they will not have mass market appeal and the cost is for now too much…
Google-cardboard is one example of how they have mass market appeal,its cheap and cheerful but the overall experience is not overwhelming but it does give you an insight as to where we are going in the future,there is a multitude of offerings out there with many variations of cardboard viewers and now its a thing for companies to make their own and pass on to the consumer.. Not a bad thing especially for marketing as we now see many companies using VR as a tool to sell their product..
This MERGE VR headset though is unique in every aspect,from the design the thought put into it its looks and its feel,All of the headsets and viewers we see are solid be it either laminated cardboard or a universal type headset which are flooding the market now that is made of solid plastic and whats become the norm just black or white or both,This headset is which is uni bodied is made of foam,its soft to the touch with some components in the mix but when it comes to comfort you are in for a treat.

We also have access to BOTH sides of the device be it for your USB cables,power cables and headphones,Yes you can argue we can use bluetooth headphones but hey not everyone has them and again for charging you can get caught out,i have several times and this issue is eradicated with the ability to charge while playing..
Also we have a removable piece on the front which allows the user to maintain camera functionality should you need it this is a clever idea and of course you do not have to use this but its there nonetheless I like the idea alot. We have tried several devices in the headset and they all fit comfortably and feel very secure which is important and with the protection here on this headset it is safe to say should you drop it your device will be fine whereas with other headsets I dont think the result will be the same,see the clip below.. ENOUGH SAID…
Using the headset is also a great experience,the level of comfort is great compared to what I have tried and some I own but remember we are progressing here in the industry so things will change I still like the other headsets I have they are early products and Merge VR have caught onto something before anyone else with their product and you cant blame them for that.. When it comes to long periods of use it remained comfortable since I test many apps and have featured them all here I spend a bit of time trying them out and my experience here was one of comfort and not one of constantly wiping the lens to see what I am doing which is annoying..Its soft on the face and the headbands are also comfortable too..
Like with many headsets we dont need a separate power source your mobile phone is you power so before use you would want to charge it but like the smartphone we now have quick-charging with this headset should you run low on juice you have access to charge it up and keep a power supply which is great,nothing worse than being in the middle of a good video or coaster ride and your battery dies….

To get set up on this is quite simple with a webpage to type into your browser on your device,you do not need to use this particular page and surf for material yourself but this page has some amount of content to check out,Pin the page to your homescreen or place in a folder on your device,If you are interested in VR you should already have a folder called VR or similar. The page you need to check out is https://www.vrstart.com/ or just copy from here and away you go its that simple,the page is nicely presented matching the headset colour, Within the page you can pick from featured content,categories,A-Z,Popular or Paid content..
Overall this headset is fantastic all round for any age group due to its comfort level,functionality and safety it has it all and we would like to thank the guys at Merge VR for sending us this over again..
Mozo have kindly sent us over the Light Wood finish case for the Microsoft Lumia 650,this makes a nice addition to its range giving your device a nice unique finish which not only feels good but looks great too it also enhances the devices looks all over especially from the back. With the case too we also got a screen protector which was a nice bonus and sets you up to go keeping your screen protected..
The case as mentioned does have a fantastic look and finish and feels really smooth on the back this however makes it a tad slippy but its a small price to pay considered the bog standard case that comes with the Lumia 650, Also to note on these covers the Mozo branding is not present so for fans this may or may not be a problem but having said that I cant see it being an issue although some folks like to sport a brand where possible so you can understand their point of view..

On the inside of the case all is present as you would expect to find on the original case that come with the Lumia 650 which is the NFC contacts so no loss of function here as you could expect to find from other third party case makers,again another strong point with Mozo they keep it real and keep it good.. Overall the case is excellent looks well and resembles our previous review with the Black finish case which you can see over HERE
Features
Replaces the original back cover of your Microsoft Lumia 650.
Moving onto now another case from Mozo,This time a bit more funky with some candy stripes thrown in and its the Candy covers stripes case for the Microsoft Lumia 650.
Following on the same lines as being sleek and a fine smooth finish the candy case just looks simplistic and adds some jazz to your device,Probably more aimed at the female audience it would still be fine for males to sport a more vibrant looking case than say a plain one.The case does look well and feels smooth all over and this time round we have a Mozo logo down on the bottom right hand side,so for branding fans you are sorted!!
Again Mozo have included the NFC components so no loss of functionality here again so for NFC fans its a bonus,As mentioned before some third party case makers do leave out NFC components but its not particular to the Lumia 650 either..

There is a stack of news apps about today and perhaps maybe too many,though these days people prefer the summarizer or aggregated type which pulls in news articles and leaves us for less need of multiple news apps on our mobile device wasting screen space and memory,given we can place such in folders and have less clutter on our home screen its the storage element that will benefit in the long run,For me at one stage I would have had around 20 news apps which now has been dwindled down to just 2/3 local news apps and the rest are the likes of this app called Zolt, Even recently I have began using a new app which covers technology news which to date has been working well and cut short more apps from my device,check out Tech World
Rush Sadiwala founder of Zolt explains…
Zolt was created to solution to the problem of ‘too much information, not enough time’. Founder, Rush Sadiwala, worked in investment management and private equity for six years prior to forming Zolt in November 2015. He was inspired to create Zolt after his repeated experiences of being bombarded with reams and reams of information only to realize that the core facts could be captured in a few sentences.
At Zolt we wanted to build something that would allow you to get quickly updated about a large number of stories whilst giving you the ability to also drill down and get into the details whenever needed. By reading the stories for you and cutting the fluff, Zolt saves its users to consume more information in less time.
Nice transition effects and its well presented too with a clear menu structure to boot,With the ability to hand pick your own topics and search through a big catalogue of topics this app is really nice and the UI is clean and its also a very smoothly running app..

If you’re like, you probably know what are we talking about here. All those countless hours we spend in our bedrooms playing with our siblings or cousins to see who was better playing Galaga.
And for the not so young around, we talking about one of Nintendo’s best-selling consoles:
Nintendo Entertainment System or NES
The NES is coming back to stores! Pick up the new mini NES Classic Edition on 11/11 w/ 30 included games! pic.twitter.com/wFDw7lHWb7
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) July 14, 2016
Back in the 80s there was nothing better than playing your favorites games at home. Those games were so good than even today you can find newer versions or simple “ports” to work on our smartphones via a simple APK or an emulator.
Today Nintendo officially announced that they’re going to be releasing a revamped version of it called Nintendo Classic Mini.
This version comes with improved (too improved for those who remember how it was) video output with an HDMI connection to pair with the newest TVs out there, and its own version of the NES Controller
That package comes with the console, a controller and a USB cable to power the device
Second controller is sold separately
And if you happen to have one of your old controllers you can also use that
But as weird as it sounds , there’s no AC adapter so you’ll need to buy one (or use one from another gadget) to actually turn it on.
As we’re talking about a mini version of your old console, your games cartridges will not work with it, instead it comes with 30 games preloaded.
The included titles are:
Balloon Fight BUBBLE BOBBLE Castlevania™ Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™ Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE Dr. Mario Excitebike FINAL FANTASY® Galaga™ GHOSTS‘N GOBLINS™ GRADIUS™ Ice Climber Kid Icarus Kirby’s Adventure Mario Bros. MEGA MAN™ 2 Metroid NINJA GAIDEN® PAC-MAN™ Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream StarTropics SUPER C™ Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 3 Tecmo Bowl™ The Legend of Zelda Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
As you can see, most of those titles were best sellers back then, and some of those have a bunch of loving memories.
Unlike modern games, there will be no online connections or accounts, but unlike old games you can save your progress and specific point of the game without the need of codes like the good old days.
The launch date is set to November 11th, just one year after their 30th anniversary. For you to remember (and for the ones that never watched it before) here´s the very first TV ad
The console will have a price tag of $59.99 which honestly is way cheaper than I expected, but totally love the price.
The extra controller will set you back at $9.99
What do you think of this? Will you buy one once they´re available? Let us know in the comment section below or tweet us with your thoughts.
Mozo have sent us over a range of cases recently and this time round we have some new iPhone 6 cases to check out,This time round we take a look at both the Leather and Oak cases which certainly look pleasing the eye.For those who are not familiar with Mozo they began their range with Microsoft Lumia devices and now have spread their wings to more manufacturers which is welcome news because they make really nice cases and are priced well alongside competition in the market,its a big market too…

With attention to detail these cases look more than you pay for them,Feeling good in the hand and adding protection all around the device including a lip around the entire front of your device you will be protected from the elements and getting an additional quality look too,there is no bulk here to be concerned about either and all keys are easily accessible with no issues pressing any keys,Also all ports are accessible too with no issues here and the speaker is also not covered so no sound loss or muffled experience here when left sat on table or in pocket. With the lovely rose/rose gold trim that surrounds the case and also around the camera area this gives the cases a bit of an extra BLING look to it but not overdoing it,even for me and the hatred of gold I think it compliments the chosen finishes here on both cases,With the leather probably most suiting the ladies and the wooden finish oak look for men I think thy have done a nice job here,but male or female can decide for themselves on what set-up to go for,either way they both look great.
Check them out below at Mozo Accessories and watch out for more coming soon..

There is plenty of news aggregators out there today and have been around quite a while and some also have vanished into the wilderness never to be seen again and you will probably say Oh No here is another news app,They are welcome though as some offer more than others and some of course offer less,Also the content provided is another important matter for some trying to keep their feed lean.. And also people like choice too which is important…

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone by now, but ’till yesterday everything was nothing but speculation about whether or not the next Note series was going to be the 6th or the 7th.
It Was Samsung itself who clarified everything, with a special invitation to book in our calendars August 2nd as the day of the Unpacked 2016 event. Where we will meet the new Galaxy Note 7.
There’s been plenty of rumors about new design language but still nothing official, what we DO know for sure now, is that the new Note will bring enhanced S-Pen features(as you can tell from the image above) and an Larger screen.
The main event will take place in New York at 11:00 a.m. EDT but just in case you’re worried, this Note will find its way to the UK this time as simultaneous event will be held in Rio de Janeiro at noon and in London at 4:00 p.m.
