WHATSAPP ON PC

WhatsApp has unveiled a new service on Wednesday giving users the option to exchange messages using a web browser.

It said the web client is an extension of our phone. The browser mirrors conversations and messages from our mobile devices which means all our messages live on our devices.

This new feature can be accessible via https://web.whatsapp.com, though currently it can only be accessed via Google Chrome browser.

To activate the service, users are prompted to scan a QR code which appears online onto their WhatsApp and you also have to have the latest WhatsApp running on your mobile device.

For this service to function, the user’s phone must remain connected to the Internet at all times and the messages will remain on the user’s phone.

Unfortunately for iPhone users, the desktop service is only accessible on Android devices.

This is a giant step taken by WhatsApp, I don’t really get the reason why the phone has to be connected to the Internet for this service to work, but this is just the first version, hope to get something better in latter versions.

So guys, what is  your take on this new development.

Does it sound great or unnecessary  (you might be wondering why you would want to chat on PC when you can do same on your phone)?

Your views please.

GOODBYE INTERNET EXPLORER

Microsoft, after a long time, about 20 years have decided to drop the Internet Explorer. Since the release of the Windows 8 Operating System, they have been trying to gain back the love of their customers. But I guess the over 20 years of winning and struggling to retain users would probably be coming to an end. Internet Explorer regarded by most as the slowest browser might be taking a bow out as Microsoft recently announced Spartan as the browser for Windows 10, which is their impending Operating System and also the next biggest thing for Microsoft.

Spartan has got some features that the Internet Explorer has not got which includes the fact that t is leaner, faster, and I also guess that have not seen people using Internet Explorer on Mobile phones except for those making use of Windows phone so I guess Microsoft also wants to get into the mobile market with this because it was also for designed for mobile. It has got close integration with Cortana, Microsoft’s voice – activated assistant, which would bring users relevant information like flight delays without even having to visit an airline’s website. Spartan’s has also got a note-taking mode which turns the web into a canvas, letting users scribble notes on live websites and send off them to friends, classmates, family and colleagues.

Since they are thinking of mobile, I guess we would be getting the new browser on other Operating System platforms.

This is a great step for Microsoft considering the fact that the Internet Explorer has been stigmatized. Carrying about the brand of being slow, not responsive and so on. If they had continued with the name, I don’t really thing they would have gained the heart of consumers has the name would still have been “Internet Explorer”.

I guess we all can’t wait to get our hands on this new browser so we can really say whether Microsoft has really change a whole lot.

Would like to get your response on this one guys, is this a good one from Microsoft.

INFINIX HOT

Hi guys, guess we all enjoyed the season break. I for one did. Took a long break. It’s good to be back. We would be looking at the HOTtest thing in town. Yeah, Infinix are really good with timing this days, they released the ZERO at the right time and now, HOT was launched right when the holiday spendings are beginning they released the infinix HOT. A phone to warm us up during the season. Nice one Infinix. And trust, they would never relent in their aim of getting the phone to the customer on time as I believe they’ve got a very good marketing team who help with that.

RUMOR HAS IT: HUAWEI BRANDS

Welcome back guyz, sorry today's post is coming a bit late. i just had to give u guyz the juiciest of gossips. HUAWEI is a brand that has seriously being bursting my brain for a while now. They are the new emerging giant to watch out for in the mobile phone industry and in a few minutes you would have an idea why they are that good. Huawei surprised us with their various brands this year and they are back and maybe better this year. Huawei could put many devices on the market in 2015 and expanding its Ascend range. According to a roadmap whose origin is not proven, it could discover Ascend P8, D8, Mate 8, and a few terminals for the entry and mid-range.

RUMOR HAS IT: HTC ONE M9

It's nerdy_subie once again and welcome back to another Rumour Has It Segment. I am gonna cut to the chase on this one. We all loved and still love the HTC One M8: a splendid smartphone with great and stylish build. I am not just saying this cuz am blogging, I actually used one. And now we are getting excited about the next great thing. We know almost nothing about the HTC One M9, while we don't know anything for sure about the HTC One M9 (other than the fact that it's coming), a number of leaks and rumors are starting to come through and it's starting to look like it would be similar to HTC One M8 Prime. HTC’s One (M8) will soon be 1-year old, which means a successor to it is just around the corner. While we were expecting this successor to be called One (M9), recent reports suggest that HTC plans to opt for a different naming scheme. The upcoming smartphone is reportedly codenamed HTC Hima, and should offer plenty of high-end features to buyers of all sort of prefences.
