The WOLF app brings real-life virtual festivals to smart devices. #WOLF #Festivals #Apps

Today WOLF – The World’s Online Festival – launches in the UK. The free app is a platform for creativity, having fun and connecting with people from across the globe.

WOLF provides social freedom to people, in a virtual world; particularly relevant now at a time when we don’t have that luxury in our day-to-day lives.

As the world navigates a challenging time, technology such as this, plays an important role.

Unlike other entertainment apps, WOLF focuses on audio; rather than being locked into a stream, users can use the virtual stage for singing, comedy, listening to performers or simply catching up.

WOLF alleviates the confinement of self-isolation and lets users experience live entertainment, in an online world. Users can interact with shows by engaging with hosts and performers, in real time.

In the absence of key events such as Glastonbury and Coachella, WOLF empowers people to create an authentic festival experience where you can stumble across new performers and discuss them with friends.

Users aren’t just spectators on WOLF, they are part of the action; encouraged to explore their own talents. Hosting live performances, engaging with other people using the app, making live podcasts and radio-style shows are all part of the experience. WOLF performers come from all over the entertainment world, many with niche talents, which they are encouraged to showcase.

WOLF was developed from its predecessor, Palringo, the first chat app to launch on the Apple App Store.

Gary Knight, WOLF CEO says: “The reality of life right now is that it will necessitate a significant medium-term change of lifestyles, all around the world. As it becomes increasingly apparent that everyone will have to rethink how they experience social situations, WOLF offers a second world where people can hang out. The entertainment brings people in, they then stay to chat and connect.

“We wanted to create a virtual world that replicated the joys that we all get from discovery. WOLF keeps people together, particularly at a time when many feel socially isolated. It’s friendship, exploration, fun and the entertainment of a real-world festival, in your pocket.” 

WOLF is a free app available to download on Apple and Google Play app stores.

You’ll be able to get a Galaxy Note7 after all… well kind of. #Note7 #Samsung

You have to question the timing here. 

A couple of weeks back we heard the rumor that Samsung was going to sell again the Note7 devices they had returned due defective hardware.

The Korean giant itself said that was not true soon afterwards, but we received an official press release saying otherwise.

Apparently the deal consist on different scenarios where you could actually get a Note7 as a refurbished unit or even “rent” one where available.

Devices that cannot be given back to customers, will be recycle in an environmental way and the elements that can’t go for that process will be used for test samples.

Yet its still to be seen where they’re going to be available and what exactly they meant by “rent” a device.

Samsung share no information regarding prices or markets that could find the devices in store. But as soon as we have more information we will let you now if you would be actually able to get one.

But if it’s possible, would you get yourself a Note7 again? Would you go for the upcoming S8 or wait for Note8?

Samsung decreases Galaxy A series price before S8 availability. #Samsung #GalaxyA2017

Earlier  this year Samsung announced the 2017 update to the Galaxy A series.

We already covered  everything you need to know about the devices, they are Awesome mid-to-high end smartphones.

Almost like a S7  in new form, the only downside we found was the price, a bit high considering you could get a proper S6 or even an S7 for almost the same price.

Well, looking down the market we discover that Samsung without any fanfare lower the prices of the Galaxy A5 and A3

Originally, the first one was price at €430 while the A3 was at €330.

But now, the Koreans quietly cut those prices to make them even more affordable.

The A5 is €370, while the A3 is at €310. This new price tags makes these awesome devices a complete bargain.

If you were not sure before now is your time to get your hands on any off the two or even the A7 if you prefer a bigger display.

But do you think is strictly related with the S8 announcement?

OnePlus announces a Colette edition 3T. Blue box anyone? #Oneplus #Android

We were expecting a new colour option when we first saw OP teaser a blue dated invite, and that’s “somewhat” what we got yesterday with the Colette Edition.  To the disappointment of fans around the world we got a blue box. Yes a Blue Box folks and that did not go down well on social..

I said “somewhat” because, it’s a new colour, yes, but not an actual new option.

But only 250 phones will be made, that you can’t buy online.

The only way to get one, will be be in Paris on March the 21st when the store open at 11am local time. So what we have here is a new phone no spec bump An in-store only option that will not be on sale online which is kind of bad form..Big hype for nothing really..

If you want to know the difference between this All-Black version and the other two colour variants, First is of course the “stealth” look and second will be the logo on the back.

Yep, that’s pretty much the selling point of this Colette Edition, inside you’ll find the exact same internals as before on the 128GB models.

And those Two “extras” will cost you €479 plus the ticket to Paris if you’re not there.

But if you are, Will you get one? What do you think of this “Special Edition” device.. Let us know..

As is, owners of the OP3 owners feel shafted with the OP3T launched not so long after but the hype over this model leaves a lot to be desired. Hey if the phone was Blue, it would have went down better….

Samsung announces  “Galaxy Beta Program” for Android 7.0 on Galaxy S7/S7 EDGE. #Android #GalaxyS7

It was a matter of “when” instead of “If” that the guys at Samsung started trying to fix all those little details they always have had during they reign.

They are now letting users have a taste of what the upcoming versions of Android for Galaxy will feel like.

  Android 7.0 Nougat is the latest instalment of the Android ecosystem, and as far as today only two 2016 phones have it.

And something that has always been an issue with Samsung is timely updates, but this time they seem to have a different strategy to make updates faster by letting userw get involve.

The program is available since November 9th to users residing in the U.S., U.K. and Korea, with China soon to join.

Some things you need to have in mind:

For the U.K, the beta program is only available to users of S7 and S7 edge who have a non-operator locked device or have purchased an open market version.

Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Games Limited Edition and Galaxy S7 edge Injustice Edition are excluded from the program.

So if you happen to have a locked carrier version of the phone or one of those extremely rare and expensive “Special Editions” you’re so “special” that you can’t participated in something for the normal S7 user.

All you need to do to join the program is download the Galaxy Beta Program  or the Samsung Members apps.

So run as fast as you can to get your taste of Nougat and the Grace UX found on the Note7 with all those little tweaks to the AOD and other small things that will make your phone feel like new again.
