Microsoft announce a “Switch to Windows Phone” App. #Microsoft #Android.

Yes you read that correctly they have announced a Switch to Windows Phone App its akin to Transfer My Data. Ok I still use WP daily but now alongside Android and Blackberry but considered the amount of people that have jumped ship over the last year and the fact there has been no flagship in almost two years fans are not happy to say the least with the continued low to mid tier handsets now available,but with Windows 10 almost upon us that will change everything wont it,well we will soon find out and hopefully all the rumours of a flagship floating around are true and we actually see one or two THIS year..

 

The app is set to make life easy for those who want to switch from Android to Windows and is now available to download..BUT it could have been much better in what its offering right now so hopefully it will be improved in the coming months…

1) WiFi: if you’ve already set up your Windows phone. You’ll be able to move your contacts, text messages, photos, videos, and music over directly using virtual Wi-Fi and an app that you install on your new phone.
You do not need any network, real WiFi router or account. But you need to install a Windows Phone app on your Windows Phone. The name of the app is “Switch to Windows Phone”.which you can get HERE

(2) OneDrive: if you haven’t set up your new phone yet. You’ll create a backup copy of your bookmarks, photos, videos, and apps, which can be downloaded automatically when you set up the new phone.
You need network connection and an Microsoft account.

Take a look at Portal the new app to exchange file between PC and movil devices wirelessly.

There’s nothing new with this kind of application for Android, but what makes Portal interesting is the simplicity of the interface.

You’ll need just 4 steps to do it all:

1. Open the web browser on your PC and go to portal.pushbullet.com

2. Open the Portal app on Android and point the QR code of the website.

3. In the browser, drag the file or files you want to share via Wi-Fi.

4. Access the content posted on your smartphone or tablet located in the same Portal folder .

The files can be even bigger than 1gb

For those folks running Android 5.0 Lollipop or even newer OS, they can also move their transfer files to the SD card.

Let’s see the app in action, shall we?

That’s it! surrounded by a simple white and green interface there’s no complications on doing this.

You can find the app HERE (free)

#SipSup – A Mobile connected glass serves you your favourite drink, but also your favourite moments. #Kickstarter

SipSup, the uniquely designed social glassware, launched a Kickstarter campaign today. The 42- day Kickstarter campaign has a funding goal of $30,000 that will be used to begin mass production and app development.

 

Using a specialized NFC chip (for Android phones) and Visual ID (for iOS phones) to enable communication between a smartphone and the SipSup glass, users can drop and view photos and videos that commemorate idyllic life moments. Our ever-present smartphones have changed photography. They are always with us and we can now capture every single moment of our lives. What smartphones also changed is how we look at our photos.

 

“It’s funny how I carry all these photos in my pocket and I almost never look at them” Miha, SipSup co-founder.

https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/1873672/video-552290-h264_high.mp4?_=1

 

“Dropping” captured moments easily into a SipSup drinking glass inspired the team to create a base that resembles a ripple effect, like a drop falling into water. After many prototypes and testing, the glassware was created with a tall, curved shape, designed to fit naturally in the drinker’s hand. SipSup can be used for coffee, smoothies, a cold mojito, or the iciest craft beer. SipSup glasses are uniquely designed in collaboration- tion with local Slovenian glassworks, Steklarna Hrastnik.

 

All glassware from the company has a Vitrux certificate, which guarantees that products from can be washed up to 3,000 times in a dishwasher without retaining a single scratch. The glass is free of heavy metals and yet achieves brilliance of the crystal. Backers for the Kickstarter campaign could receive a multitude of exclusive gifts, including original, custom prototypes that had the SipSup chip in the bottom of the glass instead of the side.

The final version of the glass contains the SipSup chip on the side, displaying the SipSup logo, which increases visibility and ease of use when uploading photos and videos. For more information on SipSup, or the Kickstarter campaign, visit SipSup.me

 

 

The SipSup app is free and will be available for Android and iOS devices, however, you can access the app only with a SipSup drinking glass.

Using a specialized NFC chip (for Android), or visual ID (for iOS) within the SipSup logo on the drinking glass, users can drop photos to be recalled in the future via SipSup app. Using the SipSup app, you can choose favorite photos and videos that you’d like to keep personal(private folder), or share (public folder) it with anyone who taps your SipSup glass.

Post-it feature is created for so your friends, family or other visiting guests can interact with you. They can leave you private messages on the photo only you will be able to see.

 

Connecting tradition with modernity. SipSup glasses are crafted in collaboration with local Slovenian glassworks, Steklarna Hrastnik. SipSup glasses have Vitrux certificate, which on the basis of research of independent laboratories guaranties that products can be washed up to 3,000 times in a dishwasher and remain without a single scratch. The glass is free of heavy metals and yet achieves brilliance of the crystal.
