Dell dumps their Android tablets in favour of Windows 10 hybrids

In a blog post Dell has announced that they will be discontinuing their Venue line of Android tablets in favour of 2-in-1 devices, which they explained were more suitable for enterprise. They note that they believe 2-in-1s are starting to become the preferred device for those in the workplace who occasionally want to operate the device in tablet mode, which is why they were investing in that space, while beginning to divest from the slate tablet market.

They said that the 2:1 trend was catching on globally detachable tablets reached an all-time high of 8.1 million devices in the fourth quarter of 2015 and more than doubled their shipments since the fourth quarter of last year, while traditional tablets experienced their greatest annual decline to date of -21.1 percent last quarter, according to the IDC.

Dell noted that their 2-in-1 devices offered:

• Productivity: 2-in-1s should focus on being a laptop first, then a tablet, which is the only way they fit in a commercial environment. Dell notes their newest Latitude lineup boasts business-class features like Intel’s latest processors, large and rich screens for viewing content, full-size ports and keyboards and more, all to help you work on the go.
• Flexibility: while the standard issued work device is typically a laptop or desktop, it can be nice to have a tablet for some business functions – but is it worth carrying two systems? Our fully flexible lineup of Dell 2-in-1s are designed to go wherever work takes you.
• Value: on-the-go professionals and corridor warriors will love the way 2-in-1s enhance their workflows, but IT decision makers can truly appreciate the value in a system that can be both a laptop and tablet. Gone are the days of purchasing multiple devices for workers, or compromising by choosing only one.
• Security, Manageability & Support: Our commitment to customers is to deliver the most secure, most manageable and most reliable solutions in the industry. The Dell Data Protection | Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise is now available and encompasses encryption, authentication and now greater advanced threat protection. And with ProSupport Plus for PCs and tablets, Dell is the only OEM to provide automated proactive and predictive support capabilities across PCs, tablets, servers, storage and networking.

Dell put forward their Dell Latitude 12 7000 Series 2-in-1 as the perfect hybrid device for enterprise, noting it was slim, light and versatile, while still offering full-sized ports and a good keyboard.

While the move is good news for Microsoft and its Windows 10 ambitions, it still important to note that the hybrid market is still smaller than the tablet market, and that Apple’s iPad Pro was a major factor in the recent improved stats. It is however clear that for enterprise a Windows 10 2-in-1 is much more suitable than an iOS device, which will hopefully drive the whole Windows ecosystem to be more successful in the coming years.

This drone claims to be the world's smallest Meet the Wallet Drone, a tiny quadcopter that tucks into its wallet-size controller so you can set the skies abuzz no matter where you happen to be.

A drone and controller combo so small it can fit in your pocket? That's the promise of Wallet Drone, a new mini-quadcopter and controller/docking station combo on Indiegogo that's no bigger than a typical wallet.

The idea of a mini-quadcopter isn't new -- there are several such devices already available -- but the company claims the Wallet Drone is the world's smallest. The drone itself measures 1.57 inches by 1.57 inches by just over half an inch (4 centimeters by 4 centimeters by 1.75 centimeters), and the remote and docking station isn't much larger at 4.23 inches by 3.35 inches by 1.1 inches (10.75 centimeters by 8.5 centimeters by 2.8 centimeters).

The Wallet Drone is a cheap hobby gizmo that could be fun to fly around, plus it's small enough to be pocketable so you can take it to the park without needing to carry any extra gear. Like most micro-quadcopters, the Wallet Drone doesn't have a camera, so if you're looking for aerial photos, you should probably look elsewhere.

The Wallet Drone has a flight time of five to seven minutes on a 20-minute charge, and it can be charged via the included USB cable (or, if you're on the go, the controller doubles as a docking station that charges the drone thanks to four AA batteries onboard). The device has three preset speeds, 360-degree rotational yaw, six-axis gyro-stabilization and a trick mode that lets the drone do rolls and flips more easily.

For a size comparison, here's the Wallet Drone with other items commonly found in pockets.

Is iOS 10 ‘Dark Mode’ Only For iPhone 7?

#iOS10 #iPhone7 – Is iOS 10 ‘Dark Mode’ Only For iPhone 7? : Developers are finding all sorts of stuff in the the newly released (to them) iOS 10. When I say developers in this case , I mean Andrew Wiik who was using iOS 10 beta running in Xcode, when he seems to have discovered a “dark mode” (disabled) that could see users have an “easier on the eyes” viewing mode once it’s opened up by Apple.

“Dark Mode” only for iPhone 7?

People have mixed feelings about iOS 10, nothing introduced atthe WWDC on Monday really jumped out at those in attendance, but that’s not to say people will not warm to it and possibly rave about it when it’s introduced in full to the public in September with a beta preceding that release by a couple of months.

Siri is certainly meant to be smarter and more useful, Apple Music got an overall upgrade, users can now get rid of the pre-installed apps like Stocks and Weather that have never been as good as third-party apps if weather or stocks is your thing and, the ability to use your iPhone as an Apple TV remote is also nice and there were certainly a few other nice additions..but again, nothing groundbreaking.

Some are concerned that this “dark mode” may only be available to iPhone 7 users when both the handset and the final version of iOS 10 are both released in September(?).

You wouldn’t think that would be the case, while there are iPhones and iPads that won’t be able to use iOS 10, most new models will so you would expect that those eligible phones would all be given that option as it was found on the software side, but there is certainly no guarantee of that being the case.

Apple is not encouraging you to download the beta version of iOS 10, as it’s, well, a beta. That said, if you simply can’t wait to install it, go ahead when the beta is released as Apple has made it “easy” to downgrade back to iOS 9.

Again, Apple is calling it its biggest update iOS update, perhaps, the keynote just wasn’t long enough especially sharing the spotlight with macOX Sierra, and once it’s released it will truly impress.

Dark mode was not specifically mentioned during the unveiling but now that developers have begun digging through the beta code there is a good chance that more unannounced features will be found. Source: Valuewalk

20 of the best Android apps and games this month

Here are 20 worth trying. Prices are correct at the time of writing, with IAP indicating that in-app purchases are used in an app or game.

Among the best new apps for Android smartphones and tablets of June 2016 are Detour, RunGo, Lost Frontier, Rodeo Stampede and BitTorrent Now

From travel tips and running guides to puzzles and elephant stampedes, it’s a good month for high-quality new Android apps and games.

Here are 20 worth trying. Prices are correct at the time of writing, with IAP indicating that in-app purchases are used in an app or game.

APPS

Detour (Free + IAP)
Available on iOS for some time, Detour is now on Android, too, and if you love wandering around foreign cities, it’s a treat. The app provides a series of audio-guided walks, initially for San Francisco with New York City, Austin, London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, and Marrakech also supported.

Blue Plaques of London (Free)
More on-foot tourism here: this official app from English Heritage is a guide to the blue plaques scattered around London explaining where famous historical figures lived. The app will help you find the more than 900 plaques, and plan a route to take in the most interesting spots.

RunGo (Free + IAP)
Three’s a trend: another app designed to help you find your way around an unfamiliar city, although in this case, you’re expected to be running not walking. RunGo is a collection of jogging routes with voice navigation to make sure you don’t get lost, and tools to track your times and calorie-burning.

BitTorrent Now (Free)
No, nothing to do with piracy, if you haven’t been following the evolution of BitTorrent (the company) in recent years. In 2016, it is using its tech to help emerging musicians and filmmakers find an audience, with this streaming app showcasing the pick of the lot – and sharing ad revenues with the creators.

Gideon AI - Smart Home (Free)
It’s still early ideas for the idea of a “smart home” to become truly affordable and mainstream, but there are plenty of devices and technologies out there pushing in that direction. Gideon AI is worth a look if you’re ahead of the crowds: an app that aims to make it easier to manage your connected home.

Toca Life: Vacation (£2.49)
The latest app from children’s developer Toca Boca, this is almost like a virtual doll’s house: a collection of holiday-themed scenes, characters and items that children can play with at will, making up their own stories and even recording them as videos. An open-ended digital toy-box, and delightful with it.

Viridi (Free + IAP)
If the pace of modern digital life is getting you down, turn off your notifications and try Viridi: a virtual plant pot that you water and take care of, dipping in and out whenever you fancy a quiet moment. Admittedly, you could get a plant pot in the real world instead, but Viridi is peaceful and well-crafted fun.

Debut (Free)
These are worrying economic times in the UK even if you’ve been working for decades, let alone if you’re about to graduate. If you’re in the latter group, though, Debut may be worth a look: an app where you build your profile and try to get talent-spotted by dozens of graduate employers.

Mobcrush (Free)
Live-streaming games footage has become a big thing on Twitch and other services. Mobcrush is hoping to popularise the idea on smartphones and tablets, too. You can use this app to live-stream your apps or games to the world, or simply find interesting streams from other users to watch.

Jiyo (Free + IAP)
Finally, the latest mindfulness app, complete with a famous name: Deepak Chopra. His app wants to “help you be your best self”, from analysing your activity data and providing tips to advice on relationships, finances and other life areas. No pot plants, sadly, but you can’t have everything.

Her Story.

GAMES

Her Story (£2.69)
Her Story has scooped a hatful of awards for its iOS version, and deservedly so. It’s a mystery that sees you digging through an archive of police video interviews in order to solve a murder. Your job is to figure out what happened. Interactive video games have a bad rap, but this is brilliant.

CSR Racing 2 (Free + IAP)
The original CSR Racing was a popular and original driving game: short, sharp drag races rather than lengthy lap-fests. The sequel looks bolder and better, with absolutely spiffing graphics, lots of car customisation, and some well-thought-out multiplayer features to keep you competing.

Lost Frontier (£2.49 + IAP)
If you, like me, harbour fond memories of Nintendo’s Advance Wars, then Lost Frontier is well worth a look. It’s one of the mobile games inspired by that turn-based strategy classic: with a fun splice of western (as in cowboys) and steampunk culture, and a meaty challenge to get your tactical teeth into.

_PRISM (£2.47 + IAP)
Another critically acclaimed indie game makes its way to Android, with its original, inventive gameplay intact. _PRISM sees you manipulating 3D shapes to progress, with excellent visuals and suitably woozy music to lull you into its charms. A challenging – but never stressful – puzzler.

Rodeo Stampede - Sky Zoo Safari (Free + IAP)
Aka Crossy Rodeo, with visual inspiration taken from mobile hit Crossy Road, although the game itself is no copycat. You have to lasso and ride a range of animals, hopping from back to back and taming new ones for your “sky zoo”, which you can upgrade as you play.

Pocket Arcade Story (£3.99)
Developer Kairosoft had a cult hit with its Game Dev Story game, which simulated a games development studio. There’s no sequel (yet) but the company’s latest release is in similar vein. You run an amusement arcade, installing games, keeping customers happy and taking on rival arcades. It’s very addictive.

PKTBALL (Free + IAP)
A fun mobile take on air hockey, as you try to slam a ball past your opponent on the on-screen table, while earning coins and unlocking new characters. Again, Crossy Road is an influence with the unlocking aspect, but PKTBALL stands on its own feet as a game.

Transformers: Earth Wars (Free + IAP)
Can this be better than the (genuinely great) Angry Birds Transformers game? It’s certainly a faithful take on the universe of the Autobots and Decepticons, as you build a team of robots-in-disguise then send them out to battle, while building up your own fortress.

Sky Force Reloaded (Free + IAP)
You can’t beat a classic scrolling shoot ’em up, and Sky Force Reloaded is one of the best mobile examples of the genre. Crisp, clear visuals and a pulsating soundtrack accompany the expected barrage of bullets, with the ability to collect new planes and upgrade them providing the strategy.

Heroes of Loot 2 (£3.79)
Fans of good, old-fashioned dungeon crawler games will find lots to enjoy here, but also some twists on the genre. This sequel involves exploring dungeons with two characters, swapping between them at will, to solve puzzles, battle monsters and – the clue’s in the name – trouser as much loot as you can.

Farm Heroes Super Saga (Free + IAP)
Lastly, King is still going strong with its “Saga” games, although adding “super” is a new move for the Candy Crush company. This will be familiar to anyone who’s played the original Farm Heroes Saga game: swap colourful crops to make matches, while using boosters to help when you get stuck.

4 Easy Tricks to Make Google Chrome Run Faster

We should mention keeping your version of Chrome up to date, which will give you the best possible performance, and running regular spyware and virus checks on your machine are a great way to get started. For some more advanced performance tweaks, you can also check out Chrome’s hidden flag settings

1) Cut down on the extensions

This might be an obvious tip, but it’s worth emphasizing—particularly because a lot of add-ons may not be visible on the toolbar, and you may have forgotten about them. Most extensions won’t slow down the browser too much, but if you let them pile up they can cause sluggishness and buggy behavior. Getting rid of ones you no longer need is good for browser security as well as performance.

Go to More tools then Extensions on the Chrome menu to see a full list. Disabling extensions should help a little but uninstalling them is your best bet (you can always put them back again later). Open up the Chrome Task Manager (Shift+Esc on Windows) to see which extensions and apps are hogging CPU time and memory space on your system.

2) Add a small number of useful extensions

This sounds somewhat contradictory, but stick with us. If you install a small number of genuinely useful extensions, they can get Chrome feeling snappier. Take Google’s own Data Saver extension, for instance, which reroutes pages through Google’s servers and compresses the number of 1s and 0s arriving at your browser, resulting in faster load times overall.

Then there are the third-party extensions that try and improve how Chrome deals with dozens of open tabs at once. OneTab, Tab Suspender and The Great Suspendercan all cut down on memory usage and visual clutter at the same time, and there are others. You might have to experiment to find the one that gives you the best Chrome speed increase.

3) Cut down on the plug-ins

This one is slightly more nuanced, as disabling plug-ins might break functionality on some sites while also speeding up your browsing experience. It’s a good idea to disable them one by one, if you can, and check that nothing is disastrously broken afterwards. Note that you can’t fully uninstall Chrome plug-ins from the browser, only stop them from running.

Type chrome://plugins into your browser to review what’s installed, and with a little detective work you should be able to work out what’s safe to disable and what isn’t. Blocking some plug-ins can stop videos from autoplaying

4) Clear out the cache

There’s some debate over whether clearing the cache can actually speed up your browser. After all, the cache is designed to load pages and elements more quickly, but like many other parts of your system it can become bloated and unwieldy over time, meaning Chrome has to do more work to dig out the cached files and cookies it’s actually after.

From the Chrome Settings tab, choose Show advanced settings and then Clear browsing data. From the dialog that appears, choose cookies and cached files, plus any other bits of data you want to blitz, from the beginning of time. Some sites may load more slowly the next time you visit but as a whole the cache should be much more streamlined than it was.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs Note 5 vs Note 4: What's the difference?

Samsung's Galaxy Note device is expected to launch in August, adding another smartphone to the company's 2016 flagship portfolio. By default, the next Note should be called the Note 6 but rumour has it Samsung will be skipping the 6 and heading straight...

Google shares two new videos highlighting Daydream VR experiments

Earlier today, we went hands-on with an early preview of Daydream, Google’s upcoming VR platform for Android. Now, the company has shared a pair of new videos on Daydream’s YouTube channel highlighting two capabilities of the platform.

The first video shows off Animator. Google says that this is an app experiment form Daydream Labs that, instead of animating with graph editors or icons, allows people to physically reach out, grab a virtual toy, and move it through the virtual reality scene.

An app experiment from Daydream Labs. Instead of animating with graph editors or icons representing location, people could simply reach out, grab a virtual toy, and carry it through the scene.

The second video showcases another app experiment from Daydream Labs called Puppeteer. Essentially what this does is allow developers to independently animate the joints of a character, hence the name of Puppeteer. It’s pretty sophisticated and allows developers to truly customize what users see.

Google originally introduced Daydream at I/O last month, while it recently released a set of developer tools allowing anyone with a Nexus 6P to try out the platform. Of course, Google announced Cardboard as its first mobile VR initiative, but Daydream takes its VR efforts to the next level.

You can view both of the new videos from the Daydream team below.

3 Best Fitness Apps for Android and iOS Devices

Nowadays keeping ourselves fit is so important, but also incredibly difficult to achieve in the midst of college and office work. Because of our hectic schedules, heading out to the gym after a hard day can become an impossibility. These 3 apps should (hopefully) keep you on track with your diet and training.

1. My Fitness Pal 

The App itself tracks calories and macro-nutrients very precisely. It also calculates the calories burned from various exercises eg. 30 Minutes of running. My Fitness Pal makes it incredibly easy to stick to a certain calorie count and it really opens your eyes to the world of food and healthy eating. My favorite feature of the app is the bar code scanner, hold your phone up to a products bar code and it instantly tells you the nutrients of the food. It is a very handy feature and it makes dieting that much easier.

2. Runkeeper

If you're some one who is slacking on their new years resolution to get fit, this app may be perfect for you. Runkeeper adds more structure to simply going out and running, providing calories burned, distance covered, average speed etc. It also has milestones and goals such as "cover 100 kiliometres", these added incentives are a great boost to keep your strictly following your running regime. 

3. C25K: Couch to 5K 

C25K Couch to 5K is a fitness app that takes you from being an out of shape couch potato to being ready to run a 5K. It has MyFitnessPal integration, allows you to create music playlists to workout to, and various tracking features for when you go out running. The app also includes zero to 10K, 5K to 10K, and half marathon training programs you can follow as well.

Are your smartphones really smart?

Is your smartphone actually smart?

Well no, not really. Sure you can wax poetically with Siri and get football statistics on the fly with Google, but none of these "smart" features are being done on the phones themselves. They rely on constant communication from the cloud to carry out these tasks. 

Google aims to change that. Soon, that kind of process could be handled by your phone alone. 

Google announced recently that it will be purchasing chips from Movidius, a world leader in embedded machine vision technology. Movidius aim to provide "artificial vision intelligence to the next generation of connected devices". What this means is that smartphones will be capable of running these smart tasks on their hardware alone, using a process called Machine learning, in which devices can process and categorize external information.

Integrating this type of chip into a smartphone used to be an impossibility, being too much of a power drain on our already power-hungry smart devices. Movidius' new chips however, are extremely low power, allowing complex processes to take place without draining your phones battery in seconds.

 The benefit of putting machine learning processes directly on the phone is that the devices will be able to perform tasks that require deep learning without a strong Wifi signal -- a definite bonus if you've ever heard Siri say, "I'm sorry. I can't help you with that right now."

With these advances, before long smartphones will be just as capable of running machine learning algorithms as any desktop computer, paving the way for smarter apps and truly smarter smartphones.

Garmin releases new €100 fitness tracker

Not only did Garmin unveil their new Vivoactive HR fitness tracker during the Mobile World Conference 2016 this week in Barcelona,   Garmin also released a new Garmin Vivofit 3 fitness tracker which improves upon past generations to give the user a more well balanced activity detection device.

Astoundingly Garmin's new fitness band has a battery life said to last a year, all while tracking your steps, calories, distance, exercise and also monitors your sleep using the Move IQ application and technology.

The new Garmin Vivofit 3 is now available with a range of different bracelets styles to choose from to suit your taste and fashion sense.

The world of fitness bands is largely dominated by Fitbit, I for one am excited to see if the Garmin Vivofit 3 will provide any sort of real competition.

DJI Offer new crash insurance for drones

• What is frequently overlooked in the excited frenzy of most drone purchases is the fact that there is a good chance that you will crash and destroy it. Since that would leave most buyers inconsolably out of pocket, DJI has decided to launch DJI Care, an insurance program for Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 drones. A year of comprehensive coverage costs $129 for the Phantom 3 standard and goes all the way up to $699 for the Inspire 1. According to DJI the coverage includes "dropping, squeezing or crashing caused by operator error or other accidents". The insurance covers the aircraft, camera and gimbal, but not accessories such as the remote control, propellers, or battery. 

DJI's coverage is no doubt intended to be marketed to paranoid drone operations virgins, yet to embark on their maiden voyage. However, while DJI's insurance covers normal operator ineptitude, it doesn't include lost aircraft, water damage, or cosmetic damage. Educate yourself on the terms and conditions before pursuing the golden aegis that is DJI Care.

Love the premium feel of the iPhone but hate its crippling battery life? Have a look at this

Xiaomi announced the Mi 4S in China today. The successor to the Chinese phone maker’s 2014 hit handset, the Mi 4, brings a number of improvements in performance, design and build quality.

The new device features a glass front and back and a metal frame and weighs in at 133g. There’s a full HD display, as well as a fingerprint sensor and a 13-megapixel camera on the rear. It also supports dual 4G LTE SIM cards.

Specs wise, the 4S packs a Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. A large 3,260mAh battery keeps the MIUI 7 OS-based handset ticking over. It also has an infrared remote blaster and support for a memory card to add storage space.

With the larger battery and a power sipping OS like MIUI, you should be able to easily get a full days use out of this device.

The 4S will be available later this year in black, white, gold and pink, at 1699 Chinese Yuan ($260) for the 64GB model. 

4 of the best new Samsung Galaxy S7 features

1. microSD expansion

As well as a removable battery and water-resistant rating, microSD expansion was one of the three biggest features dropped in the Galaxy S6 that had fans enraged and everyone else wondering why. With a smaller battery, non-expandable storage and no water-resistancy at all, the Galaxy S6 undermined its potential success by taking away certain things Samsung fans had grown used to in a Galaxy flagship.

The grand return of microSD expansion in the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is sure to win back many Samsung fans that had lost faith last year, and the super-fast UHD-II standard that is commonplace now has even faster read-write speeds from microSD than even the faster internal flash memory used in the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge

2. A bigger battery

People have been saying for a long time that we don’t care about thicker phones: what we want is a bigger battery. Battery optimization, more efficient processors, battery saving modes and fast charging are all good things, but they should never be used as an excuse to make a battery smaller.

 Finally Samsung has learned its lesson and given the Galaxy S7 a 20% larger battery and the Galaxy S7 Edge a 40% larger battery. The added side-effect of this is that the 14% thicker Galaxy S7 and 9% thicker Galaxy S7 Edge now have a much less pronounced camera bump on the back.

 

 

3. Water-resistance without flaps

Just when you thought that Samsung was done with water-resistant flaps and water-resistance generally, the company went and granted the Galaxy S7 with an IP68 ingress rating. That means it is completely dustproof and water-resistant for half an hour in up to five feet of water.

By treating the internal structure of the S7 rather than just the exposed ports, the Galaxy S7 can be submerged without having to worry about the headphone or charging port or the speaker grills. It may not be important for everyone, but it’s way better than it was in the Galaxy S5.

4. An even better camera

Samsung has never had a bad camera, but the fact that last year quite a few other OEMs finally caught up – from LG and Motorola to Huawei and Sony – meant that Samsung doubled down on its camera efforts for the new S7 models. We already know what Samsung is capable of when it sets its mind to something and we have not been disappointed with the latest camera improvements.

The new Galaxy models take a two-pronged approach. The new dual-pixel sensor can focus in an insanely short amount of time, even against the Galaxy S6 which was already fast, and even in very low light conditions. The larger aperture and dual-pixel sensor use every pixel for phase detection for unbelievably good low light performance.

Mastercard unveils selfie security checks

MasterCard says it plans to bring "selfie pay" security checks to more than a dozen countries. Last year, the company started trialing the technology, but now says it has firm plans to roll the feature out to users after positive reactions from testers. 

To use selfie pay, customers will have to download MasterCard's app to their phone or tablet. Then, after entering their credit card information as normal during an online payment, they'll hold their device up to their face to take a quick picture. Users will have to blink to prove that they're not holding a photograph in front of the camera, and MasterCard says its algorithms can tell when someone is trying to fool the system by using a video.

HTC teases us with mysterious new image

If you follow any of HTC’s multiple social media accounts, you probably saw the image at the top of this post at some point today. It’s the same image that appeared in an email HTC sent out to members of the press, but the only other information in the email was a line of text telling us to “stay tuned for more.”

No dates, no details, no renders. Just that image.

Now, logic would dictate that the image is hinting at the HTC One M10, a sequel to last year’s One M9.

Here’s what it might look like, according to notorious mobile leaker, Evan Blass:

We’ll be keeping an eye out for an actual announcement in the coming days.
