Calorific ,A new app that will help you manage your calorie intake. by @jimboireland #Apps #Calorific

A new app called Calorific developed by Nic Mulvaney will show you what 200 calories of your favourite food looks like,the devs have captured many photos of popular foods and you can see what calories are in selected food stuffs before you actually eat,it aims to help people be more aware of what their daily intake is which will be quite helpful for those who are trying to maintain a healthy living or who is currently on diet programmes.

Hard work has gone into the app with research,photos and products weighed all for your convenience.

Calorific shows you exactly what 200 calories look like with beautiful photography.

Why 200 calories? Because it’s a nice portion size and makes it easy to recognise roughly how many calories you are eating without needing to check the labels.

You’ve probably been told at some point how many calories you need to consume each day. But the concept of a calorie can be hard to grasp and understanding what foods contain how many calories can be even more difficult.

So what does 200 calories of any given food or drink actually look like? Well it turns out it’s a whole lot of spinach but only half a spoon of peanut butter!

Each food has been meticulously researched, weighed and photographed in high definition.

Features:

• Over 140 beautiful retina photographs
• Sort by name, weight or food type
• Compare interesting foods side by side
• Instant search

SPECIAL OFFER: Save over 60% when you share Calorific with your friends. See in app purchase.

Moto360 Smartwatch unboxing,gallery and walkaround. by @jimboireland #Tech #Moto360

New tech in today and its the new Moto 360 smartwatch and it looks quite nice so far on first inspection.

Included with the packaging is the Watch itself,instructions,desktop charger and plug that is it sure what more do you need..A fully charged battery would be nice for first use hey…. Have a look at the gallery and unboxing below,and we shall talk more soon.

Full info is available at Moto360

To buy the Moto 360 here in Ireland you can head up north or import from UK ,if you have a parcel motel account you will find it much easier to import from sites that do not ship to Ireland which is a bit silly in this day and age.

The Moto 360 cost €249 which is a pricey watch but its the best looking out there now at the moment in my opinion..

Something new is coming by way of @Vsenn_Official its one to watch,by @jimboireland #Vsenn #Tech

Just recenlyt a new twitter account popped up on the Twittet machine by the name of @Vsenn_Official

Slowly the word spread and people are now interested in what is actually going to happen here,im very curious due to who is involved,which is a former Nokia X Android programme manager and im actually quite hopefull,i do have some other thoughts going forward on this but will discuss them again when the time is right,they are all good by the way…

So this was the first tweet,then another came along which now beefs up the situation here..

The twitter profiles reads as follows,A smartphone with Upgradable and Modular hardware + Android OS updates for the next 4 years. Customizable and Secure. That’s what we stand for.

Some may get the drift and some may not but this looks exciting and looks pretty cool.

This is said to be going up against Goggle with Project Ara and they also state on twitter GLOBAL BRAND so this looks very interesting ,follow the journey over here on Vsenn

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is heading to Ireland this November with CarphoneWarehouse. #Tech #Samsung by @jimboireland

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has been one of the most anticipated devices this year from Samsung but they also suprised us with the Note Edge which has taken a different step and certainlty a world first on how the screen slopes at one side,this looks quits nice and it may suit some and not others,i think people are more curious as to how this looks and feels rather than own it.

Having said that Samsung did say it will be a niche device but now we are now seeing more info on its availability across the world,however a while back it was also said its not expected to hit Ireland and the UK and today we have heard that it will be available with the Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone but with a limited supply.I think its quite nice but since i use my phone in my right hand this may not be suitable for me,currently i use the Note 4 and its quite big but size is not the issue here due to how the Note Edge is designed.But i must admit i still like it.

If you are a fan of charged magazine which we pick up every month we see its been already noted on the online edition that the Note Edge will soon be in stock with the CPW.No price or exact date has been given but will update on any news.It wont be cheap..

Will you pick this up or have you got the Note 4 let us know..

Check out Charged for more.
