Ericsson to help IIT students develop patents

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson has announced a programme to help IIT engineers develop technology patents and said that intellectual property rights will be owned by the developer team or students.<br />
<br />
Under the programme, the company will select two projects which will get a funding of Rs 10 lakh each and developers may even get access to its labs for development of the product.<br />
<br />
"We are seeking to encourage the culture of innovation within the IITs and to support these talented young minds to develop more innovative and relevant solutions for the benefit of industry," Ericsson head of India Region Chris Houghton said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Ericsson will select for two projects for Ericsson Innovation awards. The selected project will be given 10 lakh each. Depending on the nature of project, the developer or team of developers may even get access to Ericsson Lab for development of product.<br />
<br />
"The winners will receive a funding of Rs 10 lakh each for incubation of the project over a two-year period. Secondly, the patents will remain with the students," Houghton said.<br />
<br />
At present, government runs a programme for promoting technical Intellectual Property Rights in which Indian innovator gets only 40% of revenue generated from the patent. India is considered hub of research and development but majority of IPRs are owned by foreign based multi-national companies.<br />
<br />
The award has called for innovations in areas such as web design, cloud computing, storage and networking, human-machine interface, embedded and hardware system design, machine-to-machine or Internet of Things, open source, signal processing, graphics and visualization, as well as research.<br />
<br />
"Ericsson has invited project proposals in these areas from IIT students across Chennai, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mumbai, Roorkee and Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi," the statement said.<br />
<br />
Following the preliminary screening phase at their respective IITs, the student proposals will be shortlisted through two jury sessions.<br />
<br />
In the first round, the jury will shortlist up to 10 proposals on criteria such as degree of innovation, feasibility, usability, relevance, time to market and the overall impact on masses. Each shortlisted proposal will be given an incentive by Ericsson to complete the initial prototype within three months.<br />
<br />
In the second round, the jury will select up to two innovation projects which will be announced in a ceremony in April 2015 and these projects will get support from Ericsson.<br />

Mahindra & Mahindra Brings Out its Adventure Variant, Thar

<p class="article__title  article__title--single">Mahindra Thar is one of the coolest and the most badass vehicles released till date. It is the weapon of choice for the hardcore off-roaders. It is for folks who would rather feel the dirt instead of sitting comfortably inside the air-conditioned interior. It also retains the rugged look of the classic Jeep which says, ‘bring it on’ to any terrain.</p><br/>Mahindra & Mahindra is now bringing out the Mahindra Thar called the Adventure Edition, which will be a 30 units limited edition of this tough SUV. The Adventure version will be available only in CRDe Trim; seems like the company really wants to take it into the wild and get it dirty. The vehicle will come in Java brown colour with some sweet graphic decals.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mahindra-thar-exterior-31305.jpg.pagespeed.ce_.kldugeliki.jpg"><img alt="mahindra thar exterior 31305.jpg.pagespeed.ce .kldugeliki 690x360 Mahindra & Mahindra Brings Out its Adventure Variant, Thar " class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11679" height="360" src="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mahindra-thar-exterior-31305.jpg.pagespeed.ce_.kldugeliki-690x360.jpg" title="Mahindra & Mahindra Brings Out its Adventure Variant, Thar " width="690" /></a><br/><br/>Most of the upgrades on this edition are cosmetic, but they do look great. It features tail lamp protectors, chaff screen, seat covers with black and orange stitching, extended wheel arches, molded floor mats and new centre console. This edition also adds 2D map support along with a compass.<br/><br/>Under the hood, the model is powered by a 2498cc motor that churns out a healthy 105PS of power and 247Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. To give efficient off-roading thrills, the vehicle comes with a manual BorgWarner’s low reduction gear and a four-wheel-drive transfer case. Also, the ground clearance on this Thar is 200mm.<br/><br/>Even though it’s a limited edition offering, the Adventure Edition of Thar is not going to cost a bomb either. It is expected to sell at around Rs. 40,000 above the price of the regular CRDe variant of the car, which is a good decision by the company.

The offering includes a performance cruiser Breakout at a price of Rs. 16.28 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which is the latest addition to the Harley-Davidson’s Softail family of motorcycles.<br/><br/>The new offerings also include the hand-crafted CVO Limited, which is priced at Rs. 49.23 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi). Along with that, Harley-Davidson also launched the Street Glide Special priced at Rs. 29.70 lakh. With the launch of these three bikes, Harley-Davidson India now has a product line-up of 13 models in the domestic market, as per the company’s Managing Director Anoop Prakash.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/14-hd-cvo-limited-bs.jpg"><img alt="14 hd cvo limited bs 690x254 Harley Davidson Rolls Out Three New Bikes for the Indian Market" class="wp-image-11741 size-large" height="254" src="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/14-hd-cvo-limited-bs-690x254.jpg" title="Harley Davidson Rolls Out Three New Bikes for the Indian Market" width="690" /></a><br/><p class="body">According to a statement from the company, Breakout will be assembled at its Bawal plant in Haryana.

Box 6.5 GT Infotainment System, a batwing fairing with splitstream vent and a dual halogen headlamp.</p><br/><p class="body">“We are reaching out to a lot of younger riders,” Prakash said. As Harley nourishes in India with rock music festivals and bike rallies, the new offerings would prove attractive to aspirational young Indians, for whom a motorcycle is more than simply the cheapest form of motorised transport.</p><br/><p class="body">“Motorcycles launched today have always had an incredibly passionate following here. These latest offerings demonstrate Harley-Davidson’s commitment to delivering a world-class product that caters to our customers,” added Prakash.</p><br/><p class="body">India is the world’s largest motorcycle market after China, but the roads are packed with cheaper models. Harley wants to change this scenario by appealing to the youth of the country, who are the biggest buyers in the two-wheeler automobile industry.

Ford Endeavour Will Arrive in its New Avatar by End 2015

<p class="article__title  article__title--single"></p><br/><br/><div class="article__title__meta"><br/><div class="article__author-name"></div><br/></div><br/>Ford Endeavour is a car that can probably take on Tyrannosaurus Rex and win in a fight, or just might get away from it in time. Well, we can’t have a real machine on monster action to prove the above claim but we can report that Ford will be bringing the new generation of the Endeavour by the end of 2015.<br/><br/>Expected to be based on the Everest concept, the car will be called ‘The Ford Everest Concept’ in all markets other than India. The SUV is expected to come in four cylinders of 2.2 litre and 3.0 litre engine variants. It will be available in manual as well as automatic versions. It is also expected to feature six-speed transmissions.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ford-everest-ranger.jpg"><img alt="ford everest ranger 690x389 Ford Endeavour Will Arrive in its New Avatar by End 2015" class="size-large wp-image-11775" height="389" src="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ford-everest-ranger-690x389.jpg" title="Ford Endeavour Will Arrive in its New Avatar by End 2015" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>The Everest concept was first showcased in Australia. The SUV will be based on Ranger’s current generation ladder-frame chassis. It will sport a coil-sprung rear suspension.<br/><br/>On the exteriors, the car gets a more aggressive stance over its predecessor while getting a sleeker shape. This design keeps the badass spirit intact, as that is the USP of this car.<br/><br/>The car is currently being developed in Australia and will be assembled in India at Ford’s Chennai plant. It is expected to be priced at Rs. 20-25 lakh and may release by the end of next year.

LG has almost entirely killed the bezel - roll on the G4

<br/><br/>Just 0.7mm of tummy fat to go<br/><br/> <br/><br/>LG Display has moved one step further in its goal of creating a phone with absolutely no bezel at all, creating a display that only has an extra 0.7mm of space at each side.<br/><br/>Earlier this year, the thinness of the LG G3's bezel impressed - just 1.15mm to each side. But that has been slimmed down even further for this new screen prototype, due to enter production imminently.<br/><br/>It's a 5.3-inch screen, which it notably a bit smaller than the display used in the 5.5-inch LG G3.<br/><h3>Check out the tech</h3><br/>The obvious question: how? The new screen employs something LG calls Neo Edge technology, which uses an adhesive rather than tape to seal the circuit board and backlight. There's also no plastic guide panel, which features on other LG Display LCD screens.<br/><br/>A third measure also helps keep the display ultra-thin. AIT tech, as LG Display calls it, sees the touch panel embedded into the LCD display element, much as we see in Samsung Super AMOLED screens like the Samsung Galaxy S5.<br/><br/>LG Display says the screen is to go into mass production in November, and that it will be promoted to the Chinese market first. Because, y'know, they love giant screens over there - LG's own explanation.<br/><br/>To clear up any confusion, LG Display's screen units don't just end up in LG phones, but all sorts. Even iPhones.<br/><br/>However, it seems almost certain that we'll see similar technical moves made in the LG G4, or whatever LG chooses to call the follow-up to the LG G3.<br/><br/>The benefit of an even slimmer bezel is pretty obvious. It'll let you make a phone's screen slightly bigger with either a minor body size increase, or none at all. And as new models seem to be legally bound to offer bigger screens than the last these days, it's a relief for those of us who don't have giant hands.

Samsung Galaxy A5 and A3: Sleek, slim, fully metal (hands-on)

Side by side on a table, the two nearly identical rectangular handsets look innocuous enough and extremely familiar. Yet two things quietly make the Samsung Galaxy A3 and A5 stand out: their all-aluminum material and their unibody construction. Following the metal-framed (and plastic-backed)Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4, the A5 and A3 represent Samsung's first stab at an all-metal build, and the first of its smartphones to seal in the battery completely.<br/><br/>The square-sided handsets look and feel good, similar to the Alpha, or like smaller, more maneuverable versions of the Note 4. They're also on the light side and are noticeably slim -- in fact, they're the most svelte Galaxy phones yet. Don't look for any real standout textures or design elements to show off the move to metal; these smooth-backed specimens are understated as far as that goes.<br/><div class="shortcode gallery size_small" data-component="["ellipsis"]"><br/><h6><span data-ellipsis="{"watch":"window"}">ALL-METAL GALAXY A5, A3 BREAK NEW SAMSUNG GROUND (PICTURES)</span></h6><br/><div class="shortcode-gallery" data-component="shortcodeGallery" data-shortcode-gallery-options="{"count":7,"visible":4,"preloadThreshold":7}"><br/><div data-item="window"><br/><div class="row viewport" data-item="viewport"><br/><div class="col-2 selected" data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04719-001.jpg" class="" height="128" src="http://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/1fdac43b-76e2-48a0-80ff-efb90dde2038/thumbnail/170x128/b2c42fa549a03afcfb0e493ee707f9b1/samsung-galaxy-a5-04719-001.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04724-002.jpg" class="" height="128" src="http://cnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/6ac92531-abb9-4c07-8b75-0164c9638821/thumbnail/170x128/d250a3d72eaa1036d47e1b7d8627656e/samsung-galaxy-a5-04724-002.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04732-005.jpg" class="" height="128" src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/5ca0b5e1-a0b6-4205-9457-17ce67d1ff2f/thumbnail/170x128/322b5c4002347f7e0193bc4a8038a549/samsung-galaxy-a5-04732-005.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04726-003.jpg" class="" height="128" src="http://cnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/7cddf42f-b207-4d81-b1b1-15eb73f21a98/thumbnail/170x128/cbb9cf3720210f4e2b3a650999a25e9a/samsung-galaxy-a5-04726-003.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04729-004.jpg" class="" data-src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/70fc205f-bbe1-46a9-9b8f-e7f98e404ea5/thumbnail/170x128/21fce33c849f7b1dd3250f2ce77ee11c/samsung-galaxy-a5-04729-004.jpg" height="128" src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/70fc205f-bbe1-46a9-9b8f-e7f98e404ea5/thumbnail/170x128/21fce33c849f7b1dd3250f2ce77ee11c/samsung-galaxy-a5-04729-004.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04739-008.jpg" class="" data-src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/56d9c5f2-e530-418e-a2d3-2807ec5dff11/thumbnail/170x128/207872d9c6cffcd78136a4ef97a1d3ee/samsung-galaxy-a5-04739-008.jpg" height="128" src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/56d9c5f2-e530-418e-a2d3-2807ec5dff11/thumbnail/170x128/207872d9c6cffcd78136a4ef97a1d3ee/samsung-galaxy-a5-04739-008.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/><div class="col-2 " data-item="image"><figure class=" img"><img alt="samsung-galaxy-a5-04741-009.jpg" class="" data-src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/96d224d2-6979-4fdc-b734-d791e35ac1af/thumbnail/170x128/e85d571e0083881e13ec0524c703a826/samsung-galaxy-a5-04741-009.jpg" height="128" src="http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/96d224d2-6979-4fdc-b734-d791e35ac1af/thumbnail/170x128/e85d571e0083881e13ec0524c703a826/samsung-galaxy-a5-04741-009.jpg" width="170" /></figure></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/><div class="row controls"><br/><div data-item="image-count"></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/>Since the back cover isn't removable, you'll find the SIM-card and microSD-card slots on the right edge. In some countries, a hybrid slot will accommodate either a second SIM or a storage card, just not both at the same time. As midrange phones, you won't find a heart-rate monitor built in with the camera module; Samsung says that sensor is reserved for more premium phones like the Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 4, and Galaxy Alpha.<br/><h3>Midrange specs</h3><br/>You might think that luxe metal casings like these would house equally high-end specs, but the A series is actually defined by midrange specs that target a more youthful demographic. Samsung's market studies revealed that this group isn't fussy about top-flight hardware, but is turning toward the metal trend in a serious way.<br/><br/><figure class="shortcode chart type_geekboxchart"><br/><h2>SAMSUNG GALAXY A3, A5 SPECS</h2><br/><div class="chartWrapper"><br/><table><br/><thead><br/><tr><br/><th></th><br/><th>A5</th><br/><th>A3</th><br/></tr><br/></thead><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><th>Operating system</th><br/><td>Android 4.4 KitKat</td><br/><td>Android 4.4 KitKat</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Screen size</th><br/><td>5-inch AMOLED</td><br/><td>4.5-inch AMOLED</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Resolution</th><br/><td>1,280x720; 294ppi</td><br/><td>960x540; 245ppi</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Dimensions</th><br/><td>5.5 x 2.7 x 0.26-inch; 139.3mm x 69.7mm x 6.7mm</td><br/><td>5.1 x 2.6 x 0.27-inch; 130.1 x 65.5 x 6.9mm</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Weight</th><br/><td>4.3 ounces (123 grams)</td><br/><td>3.9 ounces (110.3 grams)</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Cameras (back/front)</th><br/><td>13-megapixel; 5-megapixel</td><br/><td>8-megapixel; 5-megapixel</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Processor</th><br/><td>1.2GHz quad-core</td><br/><td>1.2GHz quad-core</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Storage</th><br/><td>16GB</td><br/><td>16GB</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Expandable storage</th><br/><td>Up to 64GB</td><br/><td>Up to 64GB</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>RAM</th><br/><td>2GB</td><br/><td>1GB</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Battery</th><br/><td>2,300mAh</td><br/><td>1,900mAh</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>Bluetooth</th><br/><td>4.0</td><br/><td>4.0</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th>4G LTE</th><br/><td>Yes, Category 4</td><br/><td>Yes, Category 4</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><th></th><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/></div><br/></figure>Samsung also points out that the A5 ad A3 emphasize sound quality, with adjustable audio that increases volume when it detects competing background noise. Another feature, called Wise Voice, helps keep volume levels constant for the receiver even if you're holding the phone away from your face. Sounds good in theory, though I didn't get a chance to test out either enhancement.<br/><br/>In terms of color, both the A3 and A5 will come in six shades. There's the usual black and white, gold and silver metallics, and the same blossom pink and light blue as the Note 4. As usual, not every color will be available in every country.<br/><h3>Extra themes</h3><br/>Android 4.4 KitKat is the OS standard for these phones, with Samsung's TouchWiz interface on top. In a nod to self-expression, a new take on the UI lets you apply four new themes -- such as "nature" -- that applies pre-selected images and ringtones. The A3 and A5 also have their own unique touch sounds that other Galaxy phones don't.<br/><h3>Supercharged selfies</h3><br/>The A3 and A5 may fall in the middle of the hardware spectrum, but they have a few fun new camera features dedicated to selfies, another huge trend we're seeing in smartphones.<br/><br/><figure class="image pull-none image-full-width"><img alt="" class="" height="578" src="http://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/e6185172-0c00-4694-a143-3b7f0152ce13/resize/770x578/9922937e872cb81db458770264d9e300/samsung-galaxy-a5-04734-006.jpg" width="770" /><figcaption><span class="caption">The Note 4's rear-camera selfie mode is alive and well on the A3 and A5</span></figcaption></figure>It all starts with wide-angle selfies that shoot up to 100 degrees in portrait and a 120-degree landscape/panorama mode. The A3 and A5 also get the same rear-camera selfie feature first seen on the Note 4 (I really like this one). In addition, the airbrushing Beauty mode found in pretty much every Samsung and LG front-facing camera goes a step further here with effects to correct your skin tone and slim your face, plus one to enlarge your eyes. If you prefer to send your selfies <em>au naturel</em>, you'll have the option to turn this off.<br/><br/>You can trigger selfies with a voice prompt as before, and Samsung also adds the ability to launch a count-down by holding your hand in front of the camera. You'll have 3 seconds to get your palm out of the way before the shutter snaps to life.<br/><br/>Also brand-new is an animated GIF mode, which combines up to 20 pictures you capture by pressing and holding the shutter button. You can adjust the frame rate for 1-to-10 frames per second, and also tweak the GIF quality using a sliding scale. You'll also be able to reorder frames and adjust the settings before saving your animated GIF.<br/><br/><figure class="image pull-none image-full-width"><img alt="" class="" data-original="    http://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/56d9c5f2-e530-418e-a2d3-2807ec5dff11/resize/770x578/092c2dd62a6d35477ca39fa285ce34f7/samsung-galaxy-a5-04739-008.jpg" height="578" src="http://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/10/30/56d9c5f2-e530-418e-a2d3-2807ec5dff11/resize/770x578/092c2dd62a6d35477ca39fa285ce34f7/samsung-galaxy-a5-04739-008.jpg" width="770" /><figcaption><span class="caption">Its unibody design gives the A5, pictured, Samsung's slimmest smartphone depth</span></figcaption></figure>It's a cute idea, but one that's clearly still in its infancy. Quality on my GIF was choppy in my hands-on demo, and that's because it caps off at a 640x480-pixel video resolution. Sharing is also limited. While animated GIFS are shareable through a messaging app, it wasn't clear if you could upload them to social networks like Facebook.<br/><h3>Where can you get the A5 and A3, and for how much?</h3><br/>The Galaxy A3 and A5 will launch in Asia first in November (including China), followed by rest of the world. While Samsung hasn't released pricing or distribution details yet (carriers will likely do that on their own), look for costs of unlocked models to come in significantly lower than the Note 4.<br/><h3>Outlook</h3><br/>Once again, Samsung's approach of aiming its first fully metal devices to the middle of the market rather than the tippy-top is a different strategy than I'd have expected from the smartphone leader. It isn't an unreasonable position, however. Appearances matter, and with midrange specs largely on par with competing devices, the more premium metal may very well help the A3 and A5 stand out against rival phones.

Microsoft Outs its Fitness Wearable with 10 Sensors Onboard

<p class="article__title  article__title--single">Microsoft has just listed its new fitness offering on its official website. ‘Microsoft Band’ will go on sale today for $199 at the company’s online and physical stores, for US customers only, and in ‘limited quantities’.</p><br/>Microsoft Band is a 10-sensor fitness tracker which would last two days on a charge, according to the company. In addition to the obvious optical heart rate monitor, which is evident on the design itself, the new Microsoft’s wearable includes a UV sensor to keep track of your sun exposure, a galvanic skin response sensor to measure stress, and a built-in GPS.<br/><br/>Designed by Quentin Morris (who also developed the Xbox One controller), it comes with 18.5 mm band, which is made up of thermoplastic elastomer making it soft and quite stretchy. It has got a 1.4-inch touchscreen display with 320×106 resolution and is powered by two 100mAh lithium-ion batteries.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/band.gif"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88247" height="545" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/band.gif" title="Microsoft Outs its Fitness Wearable with 10 Sensors Onboard" width="630" /></a><br/><br/>The new fitness band is a part of Microsoft’s Health initiative to track and analyze world’s health data and is also just one way to collect it. It is to be noted that the company has opened it up for use on devices and platforms built by others. Microsoft plans to let people use the Health app with other personal trackers.<br/><br/>Also, not only is the device cross-platform ready, it is said that Microsoft will look for other companies (maybe Samsung, HTC, Pebble, Fitbit) to make their devices Microsoft Health compatible. That way, they can sync into the data and notifications immediately, all powered by the Microsoft backend.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/bhv8yw372enejuh9jr8r.gif"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88248" height="330" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/bhv8yw372enejuh9jr8r.gif" title="Microsoft Outs its Fitness Wearable with 10 Sensors Onboard" width="636" /></a><br/><br/>One of the main highlights of this device is that it comes with a microphone to issue voice commands to Cortana. However, it will only work if you pair the band to a Windows Phone device. In addition to that, the Microsoft Band will be able to perform usual task of Smartwatches such as e-mail messages, calendar reminders, phone calls, Twitter and Facebook notifications, weather and stock information.<br/><br/>Microsoft has already partnered with major health-related service providers such as  Jawbone, MapMyFitness, MyFitnessPal and RunKeeper. Another feature that the company has added is its ability to share data from the HealthVault with your medical provider. Microsoft is aiming for folks active both at work and in the gym and according to them, they have come up with a perfect system for such consumers.<br/><br/><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CEvjulEJH9w?wmode=transparent" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br/><div class="grid"></div><br/><div class="article__meta  article--single__meta"><br/><h4></h4><br/></div>

Oppo Brings Out the N3 with 16MP Rotating Camera

<p class="article__title  article__title--single">As expected, Oppo has launched two new smartphones today at a press event in Singapore, the N3 and R5. N3 has been touted as the most interesting ‘camera phone’ ever with a motorised swivel camera that can track objects as they move, and can rotate up to 206 degrees.</p><br/>The successor to the N1 fashions a 16MP motorized camera letting users track objects as they move. The sensor used by the camera is 1/2.3-inch in size and the pixel size is 1.34micrometer. The camera uses Schneider Kreuznach-approved lens that sums it up to an impressive level of quality.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo_n3_landscape.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88222" height="299" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo_n3_landscape.jpg" title="Oppo Brings Out the N3 with 16MP Rotating Camera " width="635" /></a><br/><br/>The mechanized camera is super useful to shoot panoramas and taking selfies for example.

Oppo Expected to Bring Out R5 and N3 on 29th October

<p class="article__title  article__title--single"></p><br/>Oppo’s much anticipated N3 and R5 are said to launch at an event in Singapore on 29th October. Previous generation R Series handsets are known for their slim and sleek design and the new R5 is said to be designed along the same lines.<br/><br/>Both the devices are expected to come with support of 4G LTE out of the box. If so, the new R5 will be the slimmest 4G LTE handset available in the market. The recently released teaser shows two devices behind the curtain. The two devices shown are speculated to be the Oppo N3 and R5, however has been no confirmation or any other details revealed.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo_teaser_one_more_step.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87853" height="624" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo_teaser_one_more_step.jpg" title="Oppo Expected to Bring Out R5 and N3 on 29th October" width="440" /></a><br/><br/>Earlier, the company teased the camera module of the expected handsets. Oppo N3 features have been leaked by various enthusiastic Chinese mobile showrooms in past few months. GSM Arena had leaked some renders of what could be the Oppo N3, which showcases a cylindrical rotating camera design.<br/><br/>The leaked teaser doesn’t show the cylindrical rotating camera, also, it is not immediately evident if that is indeed the design of the other phone. Oppo claims that one of its designs will incorporate a lithium-aluminum alloy, whereas the other one will use stainless steel.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo-n3-oct-teaser.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87852" height="498" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/oppo-n3-oct-teaser.jpg" title="Oppo Expected to Bring Out R5 and N3 on 29th October" width="580" /></a><br/><br/>Chinese electronic showrooms have already started taking pre-orders of the new Oppo N3. The full-fledged advertising campaigns of the Chinese mobile stores have revealed that the new Oppo N3 will sport a 5.5-inch full HD display and a rotating 16MP camera. If this is true, then the Find 7 will still remain the only Oppo smartphone with a quad-HD display. Another detail revealed is the Chinese pricing of the N3 at 4,928 Yuan which comes to roughly Rs. 43,000.

Nokia Mobiles Will Soon Be Officially Known as Microsoft Lumia

<p class="article__title  article__title--single"></p><br/>Well, we had been dreading for this day to arrive and it’s here. <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/87688/nokia-microsoft-lumia/%20http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/21/7026427/microsoft-lumia-nokia-brand-replacement">The Verge reports </a>that Microsoft might announce that it is killing off the Nokia brand. The transition is expected to begin soon in which all the branding of Nokia will be replaced by Microsoft Lumia branding.<br/><br/>We had <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/77410/nokia-failed-microsoft-won/">reported this summer</a> about how Microsoft had planned to do away with the Nokia’s brand identity in its mobile business and seemed like the process has started. The devices are moving to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/phones/lumia/">Microsoft’s new mobile site</a>. The French division of Nokia will be one of the first one’s to make the transition and adopt the “Microsoft Lumia” for its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. Microsoft had once claimed that the reason they are quitting the Nokia brand name for their phones is because they felt it comes from a bygone era.<br/><br/>This move is done to absolve all relation to the original Nokia, which will now become a separate entity under the leadership of another Indian, <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/75239/rajeev-suri/" title="Meet Rajeev Suri – As He Takes On The Reigns of Nokia">Rajeev Suri</a>. This Nokia will concentrate on Network, Software’s and Maps divisions. It also has a huge patents division which can ensure its profitability at least for the coming future.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/windows10.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-large wp-image-87690" height="388" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/windows10-690x388.jpg" title="Nokia Mobiles Will Soon Be Officially Known as Microsoft Lumia" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>Back at the beginning of the mobile era, Nokia was a brand name that everyone trusted. It had a stature of titans in the mobile phone industry. Now it will limit itself into a tiny corner of the tech industry. We still hope that the company can make a turnabout and see it making a return to compete in the market. Till then we’ll keep our eyes on how Microsoft plans to take on the mobile business. It has great products and a great operating system, it just needs to attract customers to them.

Apple’s iPhone 6 Goes Out of Stock in India Within Days

<p class="article__title  article__title--single">A feat that was thought to be only achievable by Xiaomi has been achieved by its papa bear, Apple. The technology superpower’s latest flagship smartphone, the iPhone 6 has gone out of stock in India just days after its official release. In the nation’s capital, Apple’s ardent fans had even lined up at midnight to be the first to buy the device.</p><br/>Apple had brought in a stock of 55,000 devices for sale in India on the midnight of 16th October. The entire stock got sold in just 3 days. Now the company is planning to bring 25,000 new devices soon to quench the demand for the latest bestseller. It was said that there will be a delay of three days before the devices are available again.<br/><br/>Apple’s new iOS based devices not only have bigger screens that make them more multimedia friendly, they also have seamless connectivity features with other Apple devices. This, for now, separates these devices from everything else in the market.<br/><br/>The reason for the clearing up of shelves, even at such high price tag, might be the current festive season. With Diwali right around the corner, everyone is trying to attract new customers and seems like Apple has clearly made its mark.

Nexus 9 vs iPad Mini 3: Which One Got it Right?

<p class="article__title  article__title--single">Apple has finally unveiled the new generation <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/87420/apple-ipad-air-2/" title="Apple Unveils the Super Skinny iPad Air 2">iPads</a> and <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/87422/apple-retina-display-imac/" title="It’s Official! The 27-inch iMac with ‘5K’ Retina Display is Here">iMacs</a>. The company had earlier “accidentally” released some information about the new generation products from its stable. Seems like Apple has put some real challenge for Nexus.  Both the iPad Mini 3 and the Nexus 9 are priced close to Rs. 24,000 ($400).</p><br/>Now that we have the knowledge of the juicy bits  of these devices that make them tick, we’d like to take them for a spec comparison.<br/><table width="100%"><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><td><br/><h3>SPECS</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3>NEXUS 9</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3>IPAD MINI RETINA</h3><br/></td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Display</td><br/><td>8.9-inch QXGA</td><br/><td>7.9?inch Retina display</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Processor</td><br/><td>2.3GHz, 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 Dual Denver</td><br/><td>A7 Chip</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>RAM</td><br/><td>2 GB</td><br/><td>1 GB</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Storage</td><br/><td>16/32GB</td><br/><td>16/64/128 GB</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Expandable Upto</td><br/><td>-</td><br/><td>-</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Main Camera</td><br/><td>8 MP</td><br/><td>5 MP</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Front Camera</td><br/><td>1.6 MP</td><br/><td>1.2 MP</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Battery</td><br/><td>6700 mAh</td><br/><td>-</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Operating System</td><br/><td>Android 5.0</td><br/><td>iOS 8.0.1</td><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/>Overall, on the spec sheet, it looks like the Nexus 9 is beating Apple’s latest offering quite easily; Google and HTC together have formed a good device. Apple’s Handoff features though will be truly appreciated by the fans, and thus the device will find many takers.
