The One Plus 2 set to cost less than $450 / €407 says CEO #OnePlus2 #Tech

It will not be long before we see the release of the One Plus 2 which is highly anticipated,price though has been a factor with the current One Plus one costing buttons people have wanted to know what the cost of the new device would be and now we have an answer,its more than its predecessor but is it too high ?

It will cost less than $450 dollar CEO Pete Lau says so can we assume it will be $449.99 that’s how things typically are advertised in general but we shall wait and see,will this price put you off or keep you waiting,considered what the One Plus One gave us for its price it is hardly a reason to complain is it. ?? With the recent updates and what we know of the One Plus 2 it would be safe to say it will be a good deal,we shall know more when the device is revealed shortly..see the related posts section for other news.

 

Shuff – A new messenger app that is ahead of its time. #Apps #Messenger #iOS

Shuff is a new realtime messenger app that has landed on iOS that claims to be ahead of its time,so lets take a look and see what this new messenger app has and how can it can compete with multiple competitors in the messenger scene today..Firstly we asked Cyril Trosset who is the founder of the app to tell us how it all began.

The Shuff story

We won’t tell you Shuff was born in a garage.That the application has been developed by a geek, bored in his student room. No.Shuff tells a lot of us, our friendship and our different ways.Freshly graduated engineers, designer, communicant, paralegal and financial man, our profiles are diverse but we always shared a passion for new technologies.The Shuff project was born from that wish to use the new technologies to create the first direct messenger, really direct.At first, it was just an idea, to have fun for a summer, and finally: a fast messenger, innovating and the more interactive it can be. And mostly fun.

Who has never dreamed of communicating faster? Sending a message without pressing “send”? Not waiting to receive the answer you hope for? Sorry? You want more? You want to see what your friend is typing? Shuff can do it for you. Shuff revolutionizes the way we communicate, by offering users the ability to follow a conversation letter by letter, as it is typed. Our famous Oxford Dictionary specifies: « Instant »: [usually before noun] happening immediately..

The real definition of an instant messenger. “Today, thousands of applications offer to chat with friends, but none of them propose to do it in real-time. Here is where Shuff innovates. And amazes,“ the project founder, Cyril, explains. The fully secured application does not keep any record of the conversation: there is no history. And, for more privacy, the letters of the messages are mixed so that, only the first and the last letter of each word remains in its original place, to permit reading without any difficulties. The others letters are “shuffed“ (meaning randomly mixed), which provides more privacy from prying eyes (no need for a college degree to decrypt the shuffed messages).

Shuff is an international application. I’m drinking some wine with my friend on a terrace in New York, I’m sending a pic to my friend in Lisbon right now. I’m drawing a (very good) portrait of my sister in the drawroom with my brother. I share my location while I’m in Los Angeles and talking with my cousin in London, still under the rain (any use of existing “clichés” is purely coincidental). By the way, what time is it over there? Don’t worry, Shuff indicates to you the local time of your friend with whom you are conversing, if he or she is long distance or abroad.

The App itself.. Shuff is a real-time messenger app which allows you to see word for word what the person at the other end is typing,this factor I like and think its a great idea,personally im not one to spend all day sending text but this is something I like nonetheless.Another great feature in the app is that it shows you the local time of the person too,this is also good,if only something like this was on Twitter as I spend most of my day conversing there and its with others from all over the world…

Shuff is an app with no history. Only the last sent message of your conversation appears. But you can “favorite” a message with an up-swipe, and find it later in the Favorites menu.

Create masterpieces with your friends in the Drawroom. Everyone can draw on the same board, using different brushes and colors. You can also share your best pictures.

 

Who is Shuff for.

Anyone who wishes to find out the direct messenger, really direct! Anyone who wants to stay in touch with friends and family, Anyone who is sick of waiting for receiving a message but want to follow its writing, Anyone who looks to save time, Anyone who wants to share everything, Anyone who dreams of having fun while chatting, Anyone who wants to express its artistry

 

Shuff your messages! You can choose to mix the letters of each word, all but the first and last letter. It’s fun decrypting messages, and provides more privacy from prying eyes. If you like, you can send shuffed messages via text or Whatsapp or post it to Facebook or Twitter.
Another feature is the ability to talk to your friends with your identity kept secret. The “anonymous” mode is an enjoyable and safe way to have fun with your friends.

Shuff is also available for the Apple watch..

 

You can download Shuff over  HERE for free.. Share your thoughts below if you have used or tried this new app which looks quite good to me,also we wish to thank Cyril Trosset for getting in touch with us..

Data roaming charges set to end in EU by 2017. #Data #Roaming #Sms #Calls

This has been an ongoing mess for some time now and finally we may have it settled which is going to be great news for consumers in the coming years.Everything is not quite final just yet but its good news regardless.

The “Fair Usage Policy” is still present though,this is something which alone is not clear cut here with terms and conditions,the same as the term “Unlimited” both these terms go hand in hand so be careful to read your contracts before purchase..The is an ever increasing pattern of “Bill Shock” still here with people not understanding data limits and what consumes it..

“Net Neutrality” is also a topic at hand in which operators will be treat all traffic the same providing internet access .

This all applies to the EU zone but as to outside the EU there is still not much happening there where the networks make big money if you go over you set limit or purchase a bundled prior arrival.From April charges no more than 5c per minute of outgoing calls, 2c per text and 5c per MB of data this is excluding V.A.T

This has been a slow painful process and another 2 year wait is pretty much a downer for most and it gives the networks plenty of time to think some more and become more competitive,perhaps not…..
