#Mozo – Review – Light Wood finish case for the Microsoft Lumia 650 #Tech

Mozo have kindly sent us over the Light Wood finish case for the Microsoft Lumia 650,this makes a nice addition to its range giving your device a nice unique finish which not only feels good but looks great too it also enhances the devices looks all over especially from the back. With the case too we also got a screen protector which was a nice bonus and sets you up to go keeping your screen protected..

The case as mentioned does have a fantastic look and finish and feels really smooth on the back this however makes it a tad slippy but its a small price to pay considered the bog standard case that comes with the Lumia 650, Also to note on these covers the Mozo branding is not present so for fans this may or may not be a problem but having said that I cant see it being an issue although some folks like to sport a brand where possible so you can understand their point of view..

On the inside of the case all is present as you would expect to find on the original case that come with the Lumia 650 which is the NFC contacts so no loss of function here as you could expect to find from other third party case makers,again another strong point with Mozo they keep it real and keep it good.. Overall the case is excellent looks well and resembles our previous review with the Black finish case which you can see over HERE

#Mozo – Review – Candy cover stripes case for the Microsoft Lumia 650 #tech

Moving onto now another case from Mozo,This time a bit more funky with some candy stripes thrown in and its the Candy covers stripes case for the Microsoft Lumia 650.

Following on the same lines as being sleek and a fine smooth finish the candy case just looks simplistic and adds some jazz to your device,Probably more aimed at the female audience it would still be fine for males to sport a more vibrant looking case than say a plain one.The case does look well and feels smooth all over and this time round we have a Mozo logo down on the bottom right hand side,so for branding fans you are sorted!!

Again Mozo have included the NFC components so no loss of functionality here again so for NFC fans its a bonus,As mentioned before some third party case makers do leave out NFC components but its not particular to the Lumia 650 either..

#Zolt is a news summarizer app that gives you bite-size summaries of the news. #News

There is a stack of news apps about today and perhaps maybe too many,though these days people prefer the summarizer or aggregated type which pulls in news articles and leaves us for less need of multiple news apps on our mobile device wasting screen space and memory,given we can place such in folders and have less clutter on our home screen its the storage element that will benefit in the long run,For me at one stage I would  have had around 20 news apps which now has been dwindled down to just 2/3 local news apps and the rest are the likes of this app called Zolt, Even recently I have began using a new app which covers technology news which to date has been working well and cut short more apps from my device,check out Tech World

 

Rush Sadiwala founder of Zolt explains…

Zolt was created to solution to the problem of ‘too much information, not enough time’. Founder, Rush Sadiwala, worked in investment management and private equity for six years prior to forming Zolt in November 2015. He was inspired to create Zolt after his repeated experiences of being bombarded with reams and reams of information only to realize that the core facts could be captured in a few sentences. 

At Zolt we wanted to build something that would allow you to get quickly updated about a large number of stories whilst giving you the ability to also drill down and get into the details whenever needed. By reading the stories for you and cutting the fluff, Zolt saves its users to consume more information in less time. 

 

 

Nice transition effects and its well presented too with a clear menu structure to boot,With the ability to hand pick your own topics and search through a big catalogue of topics this app is really nice and the UI is clean and its also a very smoothly running app..

Personalized News, All Stories, Top Stories, National, Business, Politics, Sports, Technology, Startups, Entertainment, Viral, International, Science & Health, Lifestyle

News Sources

New York Times, CNN, Huffington Post, Reuters, USA Today, The Telegraph, Politico, Mashable, TechCrunch, The Next Web, MarketWatch, Forbes, The WSJ, The Verge, BBC, YouTube, NASA, Nat Geo, Discovery, Inc, Entrepreneur, Entertainment Weekly, Lifehacker, Buzzfeed, Harper’s Bazaar, ESPN, Yahoo Sports and more.

Nintendo has everyone drooling with their revamped new mini NES Classic Edition. #Nintendo #Gaming 

If you’re like, you probably know what are we talking about here. All those countless hours we spend in our bedrooms playing with our siblings or cousins to see who was better playing Galaga.

And for the not so young around, we talking about one of Nintendo’s best-selling consoles:

Nintendo Entertainment System or NES

Back in the 80s there was nothing better than playing your favorites games at home. Those games were so good than even today you can find newer versions or simple “ports” to work on our smartphones via a simple APK or an emulator.

Today Nintendo officially announced that they’re going to be releasing a revamped version of it called Nintendo Classic Mini.

This version comes with improved (too improved for those who remember how it was) video output with an HDMI connection to pair with the newest TVs out there, and its own version of the NES Controller

That package comes with the console,  a controller and a USB cable to power the device

Second controller is sold separately

 

And if you happen to have one of your old controllers you can also use that

But as weird as it sounds , there’s no AC adapter so you’ll need to buy one (or use one from another gadget) to actually turn it on.

As we’re talking about a mini version of your old console, your games cartridges will not work with it, instead it comes with 30 games preloaded.

The included titles are:

Balloon Fight
BUBBLE BOBBLE
Castlevania™
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
Dr. Mario
Excitebike
FINAL FANTASY®
Galaga™
GHOSTS‘N GOBLINS™ 
GRADIUS™
Ice Climber
Kid Icarus
Kirby’s Adventure
Mario Bros.
MEGA MAN™ 2
Metroid
NINJA GAIDEN®
PAC-MAN™
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics
SUPER C™
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Tecmo Bowl™
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

As you can see, most of those titles were best sellers back then, and some of those have a bunch of loving memories.

Unlike modern games, there will be no online connections or accounts, but unlike old games you can save your progress and specific point of the game without the need of codes like the good old days.

The launch date is set to November 11th, just one year after their 30th anniversary. For you to remember (and for the ones that never watched it before) here´s the very first TV ad

 

The console will have a price tag of $59.99 which honestly is way cheaper than I expected, but totally love the price.

The extra controller will set you back at $9.99

What do you think of this? Will you buy one once they´re available? Let us know in the comment section below or tweet us with your thoughts.

MOZO – Review – iPhone 6 back cover cases leather and oak. #Tech #Mozo

Mozo have sent us over a range of cases recently and this time round we have some new iPhone 6 cases to check out,This time round we take a look at both the Leather and Oak cases which certainly look pleasing the eye.For those who are not familiar with Mozo they began their range with Microsoft Lumia devices and now have spread their wings to more manufacturers which is welcome news because they make really nice cases and are priced well alongside competition in the market,its a big market too…

With attention to detail these cases look more than you pay for them,Feeling good in the hand and adding protection all around the device including a lip around the entire front  of your device you will be protected from the elements and getting an additional quality look too,there is no bulk here to be concerned about either and all keys are easily accessible with no issues pressing any keys,Also all ports are accessible too with no issues here and the speaker is also not covered so no sound loss or muffled experience here when left sat on table or in pocket. With the lovely  rose/rose gold trim that surrounds the case and also around the camera area this gives the cases a bit of an extra BLING look to it but not overdoing it,even for me and the hatred of gold I think it compliments the chosen finishes here on both cases,With the leather probably most suiting the ladies and the wooden finish oak look for men I think thy have done a nice job here,but male or female can decide for themselves on what set-up to go for,either way they both look great.

Check them out below at Mozo Accessories and watch out for more coming soon..

It’s official! @SamsungMobile confirms #GalaxyNote7 will be launched at #Unpacked2016 in August 2nd.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone by now, but ’till yesterday everything was nothing but speculation about whether or not the next Note series was going to be the 6th or the 7th.

It Was Samsung itself who clarified everything, with a special invitation to book in our calendars August 2nd as the day of the Unpacked 2016 event. Where we will meet the new Galaxy Note 7.

Why 7?

The Galaxy Note7 will  complement our Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

There’s been plenty of rumors about new design language but still nothing official, what we DO know for sure now, is that the new Note will bring enhanced S-Pen features (as you can tell from the image above) and an Larger screen.

The main event will take place in New York at 11:00 a.m. EDT but just in case you’re worried, this Note will find its way to the UK this time as simultaneous event will be held in Rio de Janeiro at noon and in London at 4:00 p.m.

Join us that day on twitter at @techbuzzireland and @VicenteA_George and stay tune for all the buzz.

MENTOUR 360 – Virtual Reality experiences for the Aviation Industry. #VirtualReality #Aviation

Some of you will already know that I am a fan of all things Aviation and with Virtual Reality being the latest trend this along with rollercoaster apps are popular with the masses,Aviation though is a completely different kettle of fish as access to the pilots cockpit is very restricted and there might be some that do have access but for the majority we just get a little peak when walking by the door when we board and exit our flight,This app however changes that and puts you in the seat,We often wonder what goes on in there,how things work and what the pilots role is,this is where MENTOUR 360 fixes those very things we wonder about and puts us right in there with the pilots,How cool is that?

 

 

 

About MENTOUR 360 

MENTOUR 360 is the result of a cooperation between AVR COMMUNICATION, one of the pioneering companies in the Virtual Reality sector, and MENTOUR PILOT, a training captain, examiner and owner of the MenTour Pilot YouTube channel. Our mission, is to give the possibility to experience the inside of a real cockpit and watch how a professional flight crew works. We want you to feel like a part of the crew in a truly immersive way!We also provide SERVICES such as 360° videos and mobile applications for B2B purposes.

 

 

App features

 

Step into the cockpit of a Boeing 737-800 and experience how a real flight crew handles some challenging situations in a fully immersive 360 degree experience.
Put your Virtual Reality headset on and become part of the flight-crew. This is as close as you can get without physically being present in the cockpit.
Captain Petter, also known as Mentour Pilot, will engage both his co-pilot Holly and YOU as part of the experience so pay close attention.

Take full advantage of the 360 experience by looking around, follow how the crew-members interact with each other and with the aircraft.
To get the most out of the experience, click on the link below to access briefing videos for the individual exercises:

 

 

You can use your smartphone to look around but for the most immersive experience we suggest you to use Google Cardboard or any other Virtual Reality headset and headphones.

The exercises are flown without reference to any specific airline Standard Operating Procedures. It is intended as entertainment only and is not to be used for aircraft training of any sort.

The experience includes close to 30 minutes of 360 video so we recommend that you download the app using a Vlan network.

 

Not only does MENTOR give you the apps they also have some headsets to enjoy the experience too which is an additional welcome for its userbase. You can pick from their shop right HERE 

You can check out the Briefing Videos or download the apps below from the respective stores..

 

 

 

First Look – The One Plus 3 unboxing and gallery. #Ireland #Tech #OnePlus3

So we decided to take a bet on the One Plus Three which has received good and bad criticism to date but for the measly €365 thanks to the collapse of sterling we decided to take a punt on it,for the price you cant really go wrong to be honest and at that price its a bargain. We just have used it for two days and said we will do a quick unboxing and overview as there is plenty of reviews and so on out there now. My initial thoughts are ITS GOOD.. ITS DUAL SIM..

Good but perhaps for people moving up from the One Plus One but for those using the One Plus 2 it might not seem such a huge step forward,Considering the specs on tow here though for even new users to Android with not much cash to spare this is a good move if you would rather skip the more more expensive HTC or Samsung’s out there now which we also use here ourselves  and lets not leave out Huawei either which have some good offerings now but with bumped prices compared to what we are use to seeing from,them,their flagship phones are now approaching flagship prices bordering HTC and Samsung price brackets.

First off the handset looks well it must be said although resembling Apple and HTC they did not hold back here but this is the new design language from many manufacturers now and perhaps we might see a change here as this design language is now getting boring but where do we go from here,I still think the Samsung Edge range win the looks department from any other devices out there today.

From what you pay though,which has increased recently you really cant complain,unless you are just looking for bear-bugs to nitpick at but just forget it. The phone is great,feels great,looks good and familiar,light,fast and sports Marshmallow out of the box with a huge 6GBs of of RAM.This is insane. Given we are held to a 64GB storage capacity which actually turns out to be 56GBs on ours there is enough for the average user and again not to mention the word CLOUD which we seem to be pushed towards. On using the phone so far I found it fast doing what I tend to do on a smartphone today which is browse,shop,social media,listen to music,you tube and very little gaming,It performed with ease,no lags no crashes YET….

 

The only downfall here is the battery especially for a power-user like myself but then again you get their version of fast charging with a caveat for many USB Type C is on offer but its something we will eventually become custom too,I own two phones using this new charging option and find it a hassle using them as in many sockets around the house I have the standard micro USB plugs well settled in but its time for change…And that is me nitpicking to be honest,You could say I am just comfortable as I am puttting it on the long finger,Something which reminds me when I started to really get into smartphones and would not move away from the darn Symbian OS when Android was wining the race, Yes my very First Android was the Galaxy S2 and some HTC,took my time there didnt I.

Overall the more pros than cons to be fair and its worth a punt,It takes little or no time to get a good judgement on a device since I sue so many and this has mostly been impressive thus far,so If you are on a budget this is the one to go for,Or perhaps look at what the other chinese OEMs have to offer or maybe Huawei or Motorola.
