Although Samsung announced the Note7 recently, the S line up is not to be forgotten as they just got a new family member.
A Pink Gold coloured version
Maybe the photo doesn’t let you really appreciate the theme on this variant for it’s way more impressive live.
The only downside, as far as now you can have this phone in the US onlythanks to a BestBuy deal. The good side is the fact there’s a model for each carrier including Verizon wireless.
Adding new colors at this time probably is their way to boost S7 sales now the Note7 is in town.
But to be honest, I’d have jumped right on was the beautiful Emerald Green color they have for the S6 edge.
But let us know, Would import this version if not available elsewhere? Or if you are in the States, will you get one for that special lady? Sound off below or join the twitter conversation
If you have not yet took the plunge on the overpriced no sales figures APPLE Watch Sport or any model for that matter this deal might persuade you. For me its still a no go and dont justify its price but I must admit it does look nice..
Openly I have admitted I am not the worlds biggest Apple fan but they make nice products albeit overpriced and I do own some products myself which mostly lay boxed in storage.This is not a bad deal given the product is refurbished,something Samsung are said to do later this year with their mobile phones giving their consumer choice.

Just a few days ago, we read about the public release of a consumer ready Android 7.0 Nougat for the masses. But although this is great news, the well known Android update stress began.
But amongst all that chaos, there are some OEMs that have served well their customers when it comes to OS updates, one of them is Sony who just anounced which devices will be updated first.
Xperia Z3+ Z4 Tablet Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium Xperia X, XA, XA Ultra and X Performance
These devices were the ovious choices as actual or former flagships, but something that caught our attention was the ommision of the regular Xperia Z3 as the company let users installed an early version of the OS.
As it has happen before, probably this first list of phones will be updated later with new additions like the M or C series of phones released on 2015.
But what do you think about this? What are your most expected features of this update? Let us know in the comment section below.
Most of us rely on the weather forecasts we hear on the radio or see on the TV after the news bulletins and most of the time they are right but sometimes they are wrong, long range forecasts for example realistically speaking can be 10 days long anything else is waffle as far as im concerned, As a weather fan I use apps that give live data or trustworthy apps We are all used to seeing clickbait weather reports saying “HORROR ATLANTIC STORM” for example which was recent on our own news and then the ones we see that state “The coldest winter in decades/The hottest Summer on record) There is one person most weather buffs will know who comes out with that and the red tops that post it, Just ignore those headlines.
For the most of us we like short range forecasts,there is plenty of apps that are available for that we have featured quite a few over the last year or so and one app just recent. Today we are here to talk about a new app called Aerium which is available on Android and iOS..
The app has a simple clean user UI and within the app you can push notifications a day before its set to rain,Of course this is location based and will require you to have your location on.. Having used the app for a few day’s its just a simple elegant app thats easy to use and set up and easy on your battery to boot..
Raul from Aerium tells us…
There’s 3 of us behind the app, a designer (me), my brother (iOS developer) and a good friend of mine (Android). We made Aerium as a beautifully working alternative to those heavy weather apps. The download number of the app is somewhere around 90k on iOS only. The feedback from them was fantastic.
Right now we’re working to release the second version of the app alongside with its Apple Watch & TV companion apps. It’s going to be awesome.
Features
+ Unique weather descriptions for you. Your mom says hi.
+ Awesome swipe navigation.
+ Works everywhere. Worldwide. Supports both ºC and ºF.
+ A beautifully crafted visual experience.
+ Rain alert the day before it’ll rain. Come on man, that’s awesome.
+ Exact location based weather data from Forecast.io
+ Designed to utilize minimal system resources as well as energy.

Zeek is an innovative app that provides the answer to unwanted and unused gifts. Available NOW on Android and iOS the free app is a marketplace for selling and buying gift vouchers, exchanging cards for cash.
Brits waste over £1bn every year on unused or lost gift vouchers and cards –
Zeek is the ideal app for the 47% of UK consumers that receive more than one gift card a year, half of which never get used – resulting in £1bn worth of wasted and unused credit. Zeek enables people to turn this problem into cash by easily selling the gift cards they know they won’t use – before they expire.
And for gift givers, it’s just as simple. Zeek allows purchasers to buy gift cards at discounted rates using the app or the website. With an average of a 10% discount per gift card or voucher, Zeek not only saves you money but means you can avoid hitting the stores and facing the crowds.
With Zeek, selling vouchers is quick, safe and secure. Simply scan a gift card or voucher through the app using a smart phone camera and add it directly to the platform to sell it electronically within days. 94% of vouchers sell within 24 hours, with Amazon vouchers holding the record time of only 5 seconds.
Daniel Zelkind, Co-founder of Zeek says: “The Zeek app solves a problem that we’ve all experienced – being given gift cards or vouchers that we would never use.
“By creating Zeek, we’re allowing people to earn real money for something that would go unused or ultimately expire. The mobile app is incredibly quick and simple to use, and everything can be handled directly from your phone.
Whether selling or shopping or wanting to make ‘quick cash’, Zeek is any easy to use app that’s perfect for everyone all year round.”
VR headsets are in no shortage today and we have tried quite a few with more to come in the coming weeks. It is a good thing to be able to check out a variety of headsets than being stuck with one or two so we can see the progress in the quality as time goes by and of course price which is important for the consumer,making these VR viewers affordable is something manufacturers need to get right to put it in peoples hands so to speak. Of course we can opt for the pure cardboard experience or shell out some more on more robust HMDs the choice is yours and there is plenty of it out there right now.
This time round we check out the I AM CARDBOARD DSCVRheadset which is affordable and quite nice and does the job its set out to do,after testing for a few days I am happy with the product but can it last??
First of all check out the image gallery below and get an up-close and personal view of the unit. (Click to enlarge)
Having used the headset for a few days we can say its a nice job, its comfortable and there is not much too it really like any other headset thats similar, The screws i mention in video are not something we see all the time but I think they give it a nice look adding to its aesthetics and wont be an issue,it actually shows it has been constructed well and the headset is robust. The elastic band to hold your device in place is quite a neat idea and we can confirm the device is solid and will not move due the this and its rubber gasket type extra on the front of the headset. There is three buttons in total on the headset,two for releasing the extension and one to release the device should it stick,these are spring loaded and how long they will last is anyone’s guess but again i cant see any issue due to the force required to make them function. The band is also simple and effective clipping onto the top of the unit with ease and there should be great longevity in this as its tough yet thin…
The unit overall is compact and comes packed nicely in a plastic case with instructions on the back that are clear and simple to follow,also included is a cleaning cloth for the lenses which is always welcome as the lenses can fog up at times and using a cloth rather than your fingers to wipe the lenses is a better option. There is a wide variety of colours available to which is nice and something to please everyone,this is nice to see and typically many headsets come in one or two colours so again choice is a winner for the consumer.. Check out the full range of this particular unit and more right HERE…
