As of now its for iOS users only so most likely the next move is Android one would presume..
This is the latest move as Meerkat and rival Periscope step up their battle for the next frontier of video. It’s the latest in a series of announcements for Meerkat, including the ability to connect to Facebook profiles, and “Cameo,” the ability for users to switch their live stream over to someone else, for a brief cameo.

Anything to save smartphone power is a bonus and of course it is been worked on by all manufacturers worldwide,at that we have power saving options on our devices and settings to adjust but it does not cut it for many power user’s especially ,also on top of this we now see batteries getting bigger but often the case it proves pointless due to the phones internal spec and screen’s which again is getting more powerful year by year,after this we have the option of portable chargers and so on…
Popular Science reports – A researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, Adrian Tang, working with UCLA professor M.C. Frank Chang, has developed a Wi-Fi chip for use in mobile electronics that uses 100 times less power than traditional receivers. This could extend battery life in nearly every device that uses Wi-Fi, and Tang is trying to focus on the expanding market for wearables.
To do something on the internet (like view this website), your smartphone generates and sends a signal out to your router, and your router generates and sends a new signal back to it. Tang’s Wi-Fi chip reflects a constant signal sent by a specialized router, instead of generating its own original signal. Data is imprinted on the signal when it’s reflected, so all the heavy lifting is essentially done on the router’s side.
“Because you’re only imprinting on a Wi-Fi signal, you’re not generating it, you don’t need power,”Tang said.
The researchers claim to have reached speeds of 330 megabits per second when transferring files with this technique, which outpaces a majority of consumer Wi-Fi routers. (In more real-world terms, 330 megabits per second is just over 40 MB/s.) They did this test with a mock wearable, built in their lab
“When you send a signal to the room, the whole room reflects back to you,” Tang said. “So you need to figure out what’s coming from the wearable and what’s coming from the background and get rid of the background.”
NASA and UCLA have joint ownership of the idea and are in talks with a commercial partner to bring the technology to market, but they also see this technology being used to conserve energy in space.
This all sounds pretty cool and if NASA is involved it surely will be….
Google want to know everything and probably know more than we think but now they have announced a new feature which retraces your steps,this is gradually being rolled out and is based from location services on your mobile device..Something i turn off also something which is set to default on first set up on a new Android device as a rule I always untick this….for some they might find this useful and perhaps not for others..the good news is that it is private and only you can see it.
“We hope you find Your Timeline a valuable and helpful tool as you explore the world around you.” says production manager ,hmmm….
Your Timeline allows you to visualize your real-world routines, easily see the trips you’ve taken and get a glimpse of the places where you spend your time. And if you use Google Photos, they will show the photos you took when viewing a specific day, to help resurface your memories.
Your Timeline is private and visible only to you; and you control the locations you choose to keep. This means you can easily delete a day or your full history at any time. You can edit any place that appears in Your Timeline, including removing a specific location or giving a frequented spot a private name like — Mom’s House or My Favorite Running Spot. This spot will then appear right in Google Maps when you’re logged in.
Available on desktop and Android, you can access Your Timeline if you’ve opted-in to store your Location History with Google. If you have this setting enabled, you may already be familiar with the useful experiences it can offer across our products, such as providing Now notifications when there are traffic incidents along your commute or reminding you where you parked your car. With Your Timeline, you have even more ways to view and control your location data. And with last month’s launch of My Account, you can easily access and manage your Location History setting and all your Google settings in one place.

We are in the age where there are new smartphones being launched quite often and not only that but there are innovative companies which come up with great design and attractive package leaving us consumers confused on which one to go for, well I’m not complaining about it.
Today we bring to you UBIK MOBILE a start up based on a unique marketing mantra with a goal to provide us with power packed devices at an affordable price. UBIK MOBILE is ready with their first device and are currently on Kickstarter for fund raising, which if successful will start delivering the devices Mid September onwards.
Welcome UBIK UNO, a bzel free one piece aluminum frame smartphone with top notch specs. UNO comes with a 5.5″ Full HD Display and protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass3 to give some resistance against scratch. Under the hood the UNO packs an impressive True Octacore 64 bit 2.2 GHz processor with 3 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM which can be expanded up to 64GB with the external card slot.
UNO has the goodies packed in for photography lovers too with a 20 MP Sony Exmor primary camera and a 5 MP fixed focus selfie camera. UNO derives its power from a 3100 mAh battery. It also ticks all the right columns as far as connectivity is concerned with NFC & LTE on board and runs stock Android Lollipop 5.1.
I’m very impressed with the way the phone looks and the specs are right on top competing with current flagships from Samsung, LG and likes with the price tag of $280 to $320 is a great deal. If you want to get your hands on this head over to their Kickstarter campaign.
