Microsoft cuts price on Surface RT tablets to $349

Microsoft cut the prices on its Surface RT tablets on Sunday by as much as 30 percent.The software giant's entry-level 32GB model without a touch keyboard was reduced from $499 to $349, while the 64GB model's price was also reduced by $150, now selling for $499, a price cut of 25 percent.

Microsoft also recently inked a deal to provide 10,000 teachers with Surface RT devices as part of its Windows in the Classroom Surface Experience Project.

Paul Thurrott,Microsoft watcher,notes:"The issue here is simple. Windows RT is the first-generation version of a new kind of Windows that is completely incompatible with the Windows desktop applications you actually use and much of the hardware peripherals you already own. And Surface RT, based as it is on current generation ARM hardware that was designed for smart phones and media tablets, is simply too underpowered to provide a satisfactory experience."

Sales of Surface RT tablets, which debuted a year ago, have been seen as tepid. In March, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft likely sold around 1.5 million Surface tablets to date. Though 1 million of those sales were for the RT version, that number was about half of what Microsoft initially expected, according to Bloomberg.

5 Great Waterproof Devices, You Must Have

1. Smartphone: Kyocera Torque E6710

The Torque is a ruggedized device that meets the IP67 and Military Standard 810G – hence being waterproof (it can survive underwater for up to 30 minutes) and dust-proof. It can withstand shock, vibration, humidity, blowing rain, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog and extreme temperature. As Sprint is confirming, this is its first LTE-capable rugged handset. It’s also the first in the US to offer Kyocera’s “Smart Sonic Receiver technology, which eliminates the need for a traditional speaker in a handset, instead using vibrations to transmit sounds directly to the eardrum with unparalleled sound quality.”

2. Tablet: Sony Xperia Z

Like the Xperia Z, the Z Ultra is certified with an IP58 durability rating which means it is both water and dust proof. Essentially, you can use the phone to take full-HD videos underwater with its 8-megapixel camera. The Z Ultra doesn't come with the 13-megapixel shooter for the Z, but the lower pixel count could indicate better low-light shots.

3. MP3 Player: Pyle Audio PSWP4

The Pyle PSWP4 is a waterproof neckband MP3 player (white) with 4GB of storage - perfect for listening to music while training in the pool. Its IPX-8 rated, for submersion in the water up to 3.3 feet. Plus, they've been designed to work with your swimming goggles without interfering. Connect to your computer via USB to load your favorite MP3 or WMA music files. It's easy to copy your music to this MP3 player - simply drag and drop your music files on the drive.

4. Camera: Olympus Tough TG-2

This year's TG-2 looks rather similar on the outside to its predecessor, but boasts incremental rugged credentials. Now, the camera is waterproof to 15 metres, shockproof from 2.1 metres, freeze proof to -10 degrees Celsius, crush proof to 100kgf and dust proof.

Waterproof sealing has been applied to almost every component of the camera, with an additional water-repellent coating on the lens element. This should ensure that water droplets stay away from photos when pulling the camera in and out of the ocean. An optional case can extend the camera's waterproof credential to 45m underwater. Other extras include a waterproof fish-eye converter and a teleconverter.

5. Speaker: Ecoxgear EcoXBT

Charging the device is done through a generic USB power brick connected through a mini-USB plug, and a charge should last about 10 hours. The charge door is covered by a gasketed seal; there's a small nylon strap attached that is used to pull off the door, and it takes a good pull to open this door. The seal is part of what keeps the ECOXBT waterproof.

What exactly does Grace Digital mean by waterproof? Well, it means that the ECOXBT can float and can be placed into water, but they do not recommend submerging it. I'm taking that as meaning that if you have the ECOXBT on the side of a hot tub and it falls in, it will probably survive the mishap.

What mobile phones support adobe flash player?

What mobile phones support adobe flash player?

Nowadays Android OS and IOS is the most two operate system in the market.We choose it with our feelings and the difference between them. And this is Adobe flash player in the two technology giant's world.

Adobe has removed (or “unpublished”) Flash Player from the Google Play store, which means that purchasers of new Android devices won’t be able to add Flash their setups simply by going online and downloading the software. The removal does not mean that Android devices that currently have Flash installed suddenly lose it — they will continue to be able to access Flash content — at least for the time being.

Adobe pulled Flash Player from Google Play because it hasn’t developed or certified the software for use with Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean.” The version of Adobe Player available from Google Play has mostly existed to enabling “uncertified” installations of Flash Player on devices with Android 4.0 and earlier. While Flash Player generally worked on uncertified those devices, users were on their own if issues cropped up.

Devices running Android 4.0 and earlier that already have Flash Player will continue to be able to use the software, and Adobe says it plans to issue updates and bug fixes through September 2013. So, Android devices that currently have Flash aren’t being abandoned — and that includes many brand-new devices available today. However, if users upgrade their devices to Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean,” Flash may “exhibit unpredictable behavior,” and Adobe says future updates won’t work at all. The company recommends uninstalling Flash before upgrading to Jelly Bean. And if a new device comes with Jelly Bean or later… Flash won’t be there.

Steve Jobs published a beard-stroking meditation on Flash in April 2010, but let us summarise it for you. If you have an iPhone, you are never getting Flash. Never, never, never. Blah, blah, proprietary product, you don't really need it, slow and insecure, makes devices crash, eats your battery, blah. The upshot is that Satan will be skating to work before you get Flash.

You can still look at video and other media on the Web in other formats --just not Flash. That is all.

Sony Xperia L Review and Specification

The handset doesn't have a spectacular specification, but it all works well as a package. You get a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and Android 4.1 - not much on paper, compared to the near-2GHz monsters we're now seeing on premium smartphones, but we've no complaints about the handset's performance. Apps open and shut with a snap and animations are silky-smooth.

As we expected, the phone's performance in our Sunspider 1.0 JavaScript benchmark wasn't spectacular. It completed the test in 2,646ms using the default Chrome browser, which is twice as long as we saw from the Xperia SP with its 1.7GHz dual-core chip.

Chrome is slow in Sunspider, but even with the faster Dolphin browser we only saw 1,564ms, which is very much a middling result.Subjectively, this average benchmark score didn't make much difference to the phone's web browsing performance. The Maps app glides smoothly under your finger, and there's barely a hesitation while panning smoothly around web pages - only a barely perceptible slowdown when scrolling past a large image. When compared side by side with a Samsung Galaxy S3, the more powerful S3 had slightly smoother browsing, but there's not much in it.

The Sony Xperia L is no Xperia Z, but then it was never meant to be. What it tries to do is take as many of the great qualities from the flagship Sony phone and blend them into a cheaper, more affordable body and it does a generally decent job of it.

The 8-Megapixel camera is a slick performer and the build is surprisingly quite good even if we are not entirely convinced by the sharp bezel.

There are issues with the responsiveness of the touchscreen and some sluggishness operating simple tasks, so if you are really sold on buying a Sony smartphone that is not the Z we'd probably still opt for the Sony Xperia SP (as a more suitable smartphone partner.

BlackBerry, Comeback or Not?

There is now some buzz about the Q5 being launched in India in July. Executing launches in Middle East, Europe and Asia within one month would be atypical for BlackBerry, which has tended to employ staggered international launch patterns. This could also mean that most Wall Street projections for BlackBerry sales for the August quarter rely on overly cautious assumptions about the budget device rollout.

BlackBerry's efforts to turn the company around with its new BlackBerry 10 software and phones are in doubt after a disappointing earnings report that sent its shares into a tailspin.Analysts have called the reports "dismal" and "disappointing," especially when looking at the outlook for the next quarter.

Along with the launch of the Z10 in March, BlackBerry also released the keyboard-friendly Q10 with physical buttons and the less-expensive Q5 for emerging markets.Heins referenced new products and services coming as well as enterprise support for BB10 devices. The company has begun to launch its Q5, a lower cost BlackBerry 10 phone, in numerous markets. He urged analysts to be patient and understand that this is not a sprint but "a marathon."

However, to make an Apple-sized comeback, BlackBerry will have to convince consumers they have a full range of offerings -- beyond their trademark physical keyboard.

Android and Apple products Review Totally

People who buy Apple products do so because they don't want or need every feature of every mobile device.  Many things you can do with various Android phones can be done on iPhone with the right accessories.  You can get an adapter for the iPhone that allows you to use SD cards for photo storage and other types of media.  You can get an adapter to turn it into a remote. 

Nothing on this list interests me in the least.  I have wishes for iOS and iPhone, but I have YET to see one list on any site mention ANY of them.  Perhaps they should start asking Apple fans what they want to see in their device instead of just listing the things Android has that iOS doesn't.  God knows the Android fans are crawling around every Apple forum and blog on the planet just to point out how superior their phone is to ours and how superior they are as a person due to their choice.  We get it.  Your phone does more and you're superior to us in every possible way.

How about features we have yet to see on ANY mobile phone or device?  I'm more interested in Apple or Google impressing me with something new and different.  Until Google, Samsung, Motorola, or HTC add something that truly interests me beyond fascination,  Apple has me covered.  The fact is, that is probably true for nearly every iPhone or iPad customer out there.  No one is going to ditch their phone because the current does not do what it never did and a competing phone does it now and always did.  The sentence is as dumb and confusing as the idea.

People switch when something new and different is offered.  Not because they suddenly are enlightened about how wrong they were.

The World’s Slimmest Smartphone, HUAWEI Ascend P6

One week ago, Huawei, unveiled the HUAWEI Ascend P6, the world’s slimmest smartphone measuring 6.18mm.As a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider,HUAWEI is great in many industry.

Earlier this year, Huawei impressed us with its super-skinny Ascend P2, but now the up-and-coming Chinese firm is looking to wow us a second time with the Ascend P6, a similar Android smartphone with a few hardware tweaks.

The smartphone features a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and a sleek metallic body. With its 4.7-inch high definition in-cell display, industry-leading 5MP front-facing camera, and outstanding software, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 is the embodiment of elegance with an edge.The HUAWEI Ascend P6 is available in black, white and pink with matching color cases. It will begin shipping to China from June and to Western Europe from July through Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, H3G, O2, Carphone Warehouse, TalkTalk, Media Markt & Saturn, TIM and online via Amazon and CDiscount with other markets to follow.

Obviously prices will vary depending on region, carrier or retailer but at that price the phone seems pretty much a snip, when compared to other top smartphones such as the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One.
