Project Tango getting close to reality by @Tiwaash #ProjectTango #Google #Intel

Earlier this year we heard some news about Google and Project Tango with some great features. Intel and Google have come together and developed a Project Tango smartphone that uses Intel’s Real Sense 3D camera technology. The company unveiled the Project Tango developer kit for Android smartphones utilizing RealSense at the Intel Developer Forum 2015.

Google’s Project Tango that graduated from ATAP in February this year and became an official Google Project, combines the camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer to estimate six degree of freedom motion tracking, providing developers the ability to track 3D motion of a device while simultaneously creating a map of the environment.

Earlier in May, Google said that Qualcomm Snapragon 810-powered Project Tango smartphone will come in Q3 2015. However, Intel did not mention any specific date for the smartphone at the event. The company said that developer kits will begin shipping to Android developers at the end of this year.

The smartphone features a 6-inch display and has a number of cameras at the back, which makes it possible to scan the room in 3D in real time. Intel first announced its RealSense sensor for mobile phones in April this year. The smartphone will be useful for virtual reality, augmented reality and digital mapping as well.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.

KillBiller talks about iDMobile. A price war in the works ?? #Irish #Mobile #Plans

With iDMobile launching very soon, KillBiller will be the only place that people can find out how much iD mobile plans will cost them – we’re the only ones with tariffs! says Bart Lehane

New mobile operator to spark price war, says mobile plan recommendation service KillBiller

 -The New report by KillBiller, the Irish mobile plan recommendation service, says new mobile operator iD will deliver significant savings to Irish mobile users

 

– iD is set to be the most competitive 4G network on launch, being the cheapest operator for over 75% of 4G customers

– iD plans available in the KillBiller application from today (17th August) 

The introduction of a new mobile operator will significantly shake up the Irish mobile market, says a new report by KillBiller, the Irish mobile phone plan recommendation service.

KillBiller analysed a database of over 15,000 Irish mobile users and over 350 plans as part of this comprehensive report, including plans seen exclusively by KillBiller in advance of the launch of iD. The report looks at the impact of iD, as Ireland’s newest mobile operator, on the Irish mobile market.

The KillBiller report reveals that iD will have most impact on the 4G network. It will be the best value 4G mobile operator at launch, with over three in four Irish smartphone users (76.2%) finding the best priced 4G plan with iD.

Its closest competitor in the 4G space will be Three, who will have the cheapest 4G plan for 14.3% of users.

When you consider both 3G and 4G, iD will be the best value for just under one in three Irish smartphone users (31.5%).

Tesco Mobile is the cheapest overall for four in ten users (42.4%), however, it should be noted that none of the Tesco Mobile plans include 4G data.

Vodafone is the most expensive operator on 3G and 4G; it is only best value for 1.8% of users.

Its findings reveal that the average SIM-only plan on iD will cost customers just €20.18 per month, this is €166[1] per annum less than the average billpay cost per user across the Irish market.

Commenting on the report, Bart Lehane said: “iD’s introduction is going to significantly add to the amount of competition in the market, which is good news for consumers. We know that there is a lot of wastage in the Irish mobile market. Based on our findings, iD will deliver plans that will result in genuine savings for the consumer. While consumers can expect iD to be strongest in the 4G space, overall, it will have the best value plan for one in three people on both 3G and 4G.”

Bart Lehane also predicts a reaction from other operators: “The entry of a new operator will always be watched closely by its competitors. Given how competitive iD is set to be at launch, we can expect to see the other operators react with offers and updated propositions. With increased competition in the market, we would advise consumers to shop around to find the best value plan that best suits their usage requirements. The KillBiller app will perform an phone audit for you and recommend the cheapest plan based on your actual call/SMS/data usage, meaning it is the most accurate way to select a mobile phone plan.”

KillBiller’s report into the impact of iD on the Irish mobile market analysed the phone usage data of over 15,000 Irish mobile phone users. Over 7.9 billion cost calculations were made as part of the report, with 350 plans – both prepay and billpay – analysed.
