#Zilta A simple smartphone for over 55s #Irish by @jimboireland #JTB

Smartphones today are smart some big some small some thick some thin but regardless they can be often complicated and especially for the older generation.

Even house phones today can look difficult to some with more buttons and features been introduced.

The mobile phone is a part of most peoples daily life and  for some can be tiresome,remember doro introduced a simplified mobile some time ago? Now we have a touchscreen simplified device called Zilta.

newphone

It looks nice and has a generic look if you will between the many devices out there today.

This device offers a tiled look simple UI giving whats needed most at hand without having to scroll through menus and sub menus,often settings and other features are buried.

The device runs on the latest version of Android with play-store access and costs  €189 available later in the year,December is the expected release date. you can also pre order the device now for  €139.

I think this will do well with the target market and for the not so tech savvy, and wish Zilta,- Jukka & Lari  all the best.

#Netflix phishing scam warning for Irish users. #Scam #Phishing

If you are a Netflix user there is a phishing scam alert on the cards for the estimated 175,000 users in Ireland.

According to the ITsecurity firm Smarttech.ie, the fake message will ask users to click on a link to update their credit card details, or face termination of their Netflix account.

The email will look like this.

Common sense should pre-vale here and just ignore it,these scams are not new but becoming more commonplace especially of late,so just delete the mail and move along folks.

#Samsung announces its first #Tizen phone. The Samsung Z . #JTB

Samsung have just announced a new device today,not only this but its also running on the much talked about Tizen OS.

Samsung uses the Google OS andriod and may be seeking to move away from it and run with tizen in the future.

 

The Samsung Z comes with a 4.9-inch screen, 1280×720 Super AMOLED display, 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB on board memory plus you can expand with micro SD, 8 megapixel rear camera, 2.1 megapixel front facing camera, LTE, NFC, IR sensor, 2600mAh battery and version 2.2.1 of Tizen.

 

This device also has a fingerprint and heart rate sensor .

There is nothing really new here to talk about with the devices design and looks and a little more square at the corners and the TIZEN OS has also nothing to write home about either.

The device goes on sale in russia first but no price has been given.

LG announce the latest device,the #LGG3 #SimpleIsTheNewSmart #JTB

LG have just announced the latest device to their line up and they have been impressing me over the last year with how much they have improved with the handsets now available and also the latest tablet they have on the market.

 

They really are upping their game and the LG G3 has some amazing features and i am impressed..

 

LG Electronics (LG) today introduced to the world its eagerly anticipated G3 smartphone, the successor to the company’s well-received LG G2. With launch events taking place in six cities worldwide — London, New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul — LG G3 aims to redefine the definition of a global smartphone for global customers.



LG’s reputation in the display arena is second to none and the development of the G3’s breathtaking Quad HD display was the result of years of innovation in display technology. With a pixel density of 538ppi, the G3’s Quad HD display sets a new viewing standard, producing images that are sharper and clearer than traditional smartphone displays. At 5.5-inches, LG G3 boasts a screen ratio of 76.4 percent with thin bezels all around so the phone feels as comfortable in the hand as a smaller traditional smartphone.
