This tablet will not be for everybody but its setting new boundaries again as Samsung do,they where the first to introduce the phablet we all once laughed at if you can remember back to the Galaxy Note one and look how successful that came and what spawned a new breed of mobile devices,can we see the same happen with tablets now ??

Google earlier today updated their “exlpore” option which enables people in the UK and USA to find restraunts and food outlets easier,now they have also updated street view,so Google seem to be working hard this week alongside other news they have shared..from today you will be able to tour immersive 360-degree imagery and submit your own to to Google Maps. Find a great hiking trail, check out restaurant and hotel interiors, and snap and share your own photo spheres (360-degree panoramas) to Google Maps for others to explore and enjoy. All in one place.This Street View app will replace the Photo Sphere Camera app for iPhones and the Street View from Google Maps app on Android phones.
Explore
In one gallery, you can explore Street View collections and content from Google Maps alongside photo spheres contributed from people around the globe. So whether you want to track the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, scale the famed rock wall El Capitan in Yosemite, or hike Mt. Fuji, the Street View app has you covered.
Google today have announced a new update to the “explore” option to make life easier for food goers,however this update will be just for the UK and the US first,this might be a nice idea if you are stuck for choice or want to let Google decide for you,there is already similar options available on the likes of Augmented reality app City Lens from HERE maps which is also a very handy app on Windows Phone ..try it out… For now this update only applies to Android only and no word on iOS…
Google say
Starting today in Google Maps for Android in the US and UK, you’ll be able to uncover the best your city has to offer with our updated explore feature. And in NYC, San Francisco and London, you’ll enjoy curated recommendations from Google Maps. Now you can discover what is unique (and delicious!) about the neighborhood you’re in — whether it’s pre-theater dining in the Theater District in NYC, Dolores Park picnic fare in the Mission in San Francisco or centuries-old pubs in The City in London.
Once you pick the category that suits your craving, you can see in-depth details about each location. Swipe through photos, get details (family-friendly? quick bite?), and check out ratings and reviews from Google and other diners. And for select spots, you also discover why it may be particularly relevant to you: for example, Google Maps may recommend a place that’s popular with other diners who visited a place you’ve been to in the past.
So there you have if,off with ya now and find some food if you are hungry,tell us how it is…

Archos have announced a new 5.5 inch phablet although the brand would not be that familiar here in Ireland it would be more so in other regions ,this device does have a Huawei look to if if you check this walkthrough. “There’s no reason customers should have only one model option in our quest to offer 4G/LTE smartphones to a greater public. Offering a larger-screened product with a slightly different design gives ARCHOS customers more diversity and choice,” says Loic Poirier, CEO of ARCHOS.
The ARCHOS Diamond Plus offers all the hallmark traits of the prestigious Diamond line — an Octa-Core processor, 4G/LTE connectivity, great cameras, and more — in a new silver design featuring a gorgeous 5.5” inch FHD IPS screen with full lamination. Sleek, thin, with a slightly curved silver back-casing, the ARCHOS Diamond Plus is immediately eye-catching, especially with its bright screen illuminated.
The Octa-Core Cortex A53 1.5GHz processor in the ARCHOS Diamond Plus smartphone is among the highest quality hardware available in smartphones today. With industry-leading power, this processor seamlessly powers apps, games, and web browsing. All of this content can be stored in the roomy 16GB of storage in the device, which is easily expandable up to 32GB with a MicroSD card.
It also has fast charging capability to be fully ready as soon as possible. Its two cameras clock in at 16MP for the back camera and 8MP for the front camera. A fiveelement lens of the back camera prevents distortion, and the very wide angle of the front camera is perfect for selfies.
The Diamond Plus will be available in November 2015 for £179.99
Robin is a new kick starter project which is set to put cloud first and it will run on Android and comes bloat-ware free when I first seen it at a quick glance I said it looks like one of those fancy bottles of perfume, that does not mean it does not look nice,it actually does and its different,its also good to see different too… I think its actually really nice…. Already though some have complained its got no wireless charging but for the price its got plenty to boot.. Wireless charging has still not hugely tool off here in Ireland anyway and that didn’t stop people buying devices without the feature….
The specs detail is not shabby either –
Processor: Snapdragon 808
Memory: 3GB RAM / 32 GB onboard / 100 GB online
Screen: 5.2” IPS LCD 1080p
Rear Camera: 13MP with phase detection autofocus, dual tone flash
Front camera: 5MP
Battery: 2680 mAh
Dual front facing stereo speakers
Fingerprint sensor
NFC
Quick charging
Bluetooth 4.0 LE ,WiFi A/B/G/N/AC – GSM 850/900/1800/1900 – WCDMA 850/900/1800/1900/2100 -LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/20/28
Nextbit. Say “We made a smartphone that brings the power of the cloud to everyone with an integrated cloud OS. We made it because we’re tired of waiting on others. Because we believe in a cloud-first future. And because no one else was making the phone we wanted. This is the phone we want, and we think you’ll want it too. Smarter. Powerful. Bold. And, direct to you.”
Robin manages your power based on what you use and supports quick charging. Even when it’s connected to the cloud, Robin won’t drain your battery. It only backs up when you’re plugged in and on Wi-Fi unless you say otherwise. And it doesn’t use any extra power to make more space when you need it.
Check it out over on Kickstarter Will you be thinking of buying this device ?? Jimbo Likes this…..
Android wear now works with iPhones folks which may come as a surprise to some but its happening right now and some of you may be a bit peeved of at the idea after splashing out on an overpriced Apple watch..
From today it rolls out and you just pair your iPhone (iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus running iOS 8.2+) with an Android Wear watch to bring simple and helpful information right to your wrist currently Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane.
Get your info at a glance: Check important info like phone calls, messages, and notifications from your favorite apps. Android Wear features always-on displays, so you’ll never have to move your wrist to wake up your watch.
Follow your fitness: Set fitness goals, and get daily and weekly views of your progress. Your watch automatically tracks walking and running, and even measures your heart rate.
Save time with smart help: Receive timely tips like when to leave for appointments, current traffic info, and flight status. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions like “Is it going to rain in London tomorrow?” or create to-dos with “Remind me to pack an umbrella.”
The response has been rather funny if you read the comments in the source link below….
