Skype for Android + IM + much more = Fring Making free Skype calls from a Wi-Fi connection on your handset is a pretty neat feature in itself, but Fring aims to be a universal call and chat coordinator.

Stealthy Looks The Echo Input Portable Edition has the typical look that most Echo devices carry. A matte plastic body with a fabric exterior. The speaker looks premium and is quite stealthy in the black color that we have. It is also built really well and feels robust. The speaker as a nice heft to it which feels reassuring, but the fact that it’s heavy also means it adds a considerable amount of weight to your backpack....

Windows 8 was launched with much fanfare a few weeks ago and definitely represents a bold new step forward by the world’s most popular computer operating system. Unfortunately, if reports are to be believed, people are not exactly moving to it in the kind of numbers that some pundits (and perhaps – perhaps – MS itself) expected. It works brilliantly, looks better than ever before and can work on existing Windows 7 machines without a hardware upgrade, and does not even cost a bomb....

If you have not figured it out yet, these are just some of the many iconic ads Apple has created over the years. Advertising is a complicated marketing tool. For some, it could be a double-edged sword. For others, it could be an absolutely blunt blade. And for some very rare ones, it could be the perfect tool to get a message across. It is not very common to see an ad live up to one’s expectations....

Ericsson has said Apple had declined a licensing deal and refused an offer to have a court determine fair licensing terms by which both companies would be bound.

And you are ready to roll. And from what we can see, Face unlock does work rather well on the Honor View 10 – it certainly scores in terms of speed if you keep the phone reasonably close to your face.

Note: Download iOS 4.2 [Direct download links] Find My iPhone was one service which should have been made free long time back.

With ‘Find my iPhone’, users can login to www.me.com and track their iPhones or iPads right from their PCs or Macs. Not just that, users can also make their phones play a sound even if it is in silent mode or remotely locked....

Mind you, Mozilla hasn’t yet made the Firefox 5 release official. It is available on the FTP servers for now, and the official release might happen on June 21st. But that should not stop you from enjoying the stable release of the latest Firefox build, which is more about the improved performance, rather than redesigns. Update (21st June): Firefox 5 release is official now. Some of the under-hood changes in Firefox 5 are:...

Getting back to the device itself, well, as we warned, it is an almost exact copy of the 6 Plus, so don’t expect people in the room to jump up and notice it when you place it on the table – and believe us, there will be a fair bit of placing on the table with this device, because like its predecessor, it is definitely on the larger side, living up to the ‘Plus’ moniker plonked on it....

1. Ad-free Experience Ads can be annoying. And many people tend to agree with this. Until now, there was no (legal) way one could get rid of ads on YouTube and people had to live with the ad implosion. However, with the launch of YouTube Premium in India, users can now opt for a Premium plan and get rid of the annoying ads that pop up every now-and-then. Once you sign up for the Premium plan, you can enjoy ad-free music and video consumption across all your different platforms, with immediate playback as soon as you hit play and no interruptions during the play time....

Last year, when Android 4.2 Jelly Bean was announced, Google had removed the Nexus S from the list of devices getting the 4.2 update. The reason mentioned back then was that the hardware of Nexus S doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. But this time around, the reason given is that the Galaxy Nexus falls outside the 18-month update window, which is rather strange as there are no hardware constraints as such....

As per Google, the company has worked on optimising the Android Go such that the preinstalled app along with the OS takes up to less than 50 percent storage space. Apparently, an average app will also be 15 percent faster on the Android Oreo Go. Since the Google’s Data saver feature is turned on by default the device is expected to consume less data. As one may have already guessed the Data Saver feature had been introduced earlier on Chrome and then in the Android Nougat....

The all-new Pixel smartwatches are codenamed Ling, Triton, and Sardine respectively. The codenames of the watches, inspired from the names of fishes and sea animals make it even more evident that these are products from the house of Google. The Pixel smartwatches are expected to be a part of Google fall hardware event along with watches from third-party partners including LG, Motorola and more. It’s believed that Google has been working for quite some time in association with Qualcomm and few other hardware partners to develop the new Pixel watches....

Mock image Google though, is mum on these developments and understandably so. Our source had spoken about a dockable tablet (much like PadPhone) back in October 2011. We cannot rule out that, though things are slightly different now. It will be interesting to know the developments in smaller tablet market, specially considering the rumors surrounding the iPad mini. Let’s wait and watch.
