The end of Symbian

 

You know what they say, all good things come to an end. Symbian's adventures are over after having been in this world since the 90s. The Nokia 808 PureView is, officially, the last Symbian phone ever. The guys at Nokia have said during the company's transition to Windows Phone in 2012 yet continued to sell Symbian phones, but the 808 PureView, launched in mid-2012, has been chosen as the last bearer of that operating system.

Throughout its history Symbian underwent many changes, but began to decline with the introduction of the iPhone and smartphones with touch screens and does about 5 or 6 years ago.

There is no doubt that Nokia will now begin to focus all its production to smartphones that run Windows Phone.

NEC Medias, the dual-screen phone that makes it seem that we carry two phones at once

 

There are some people who do not like carrying smartphones too large. And speaking of big smartphone, the NEC Medias have a phone with two screens, 4G LTE connectivity and Android 4.1 operating system Jelly Bean.

Each screen measures 4.3 inches from the Sox and has a resolution of 960 × 540 pixels. If we use both at once, it would be like if we were driving a large 5.6-inch screen. Applications can run separately or take advantage of the extra screen device. The only little problem we have here is the slight bevel separating screens, but that is something that could be solved in future models.

While the 12.2 mm thickness of NEC Medias do not particularly thin, it is easier to carry than a Galaxy Note II or Huawei Ascend Mate.

If you wonder why your hardware, the Sox have a dual-core processor at 1.5GHz, also has 1GB of RAM, with 16GB of internal memory, has an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, microSDHC card reader and battery 2.100mAh.

Sony will let Microsoft releases the Xbox first

 

New Xbox and PlayStation are underway. The big question is: which of the two will be released first? Will the PlayStation 4 (codenamed "Orbis") or the Xbox 720 (codenamed "Durango")? According to a review of the Sony CEO Kaz Hirai, the new console will not be the first to be released, and seems to leave that honor to the Xbox.

Except for the PS1, Sony has always chosen to sit and wait. The PS2 came out almost two years after the Dreamcast, and the PS3 a year later than the Xbox 360. I just hope they do not have to wait that long to test the future PS4.

When asked about the launch, Hirai said "Why competition ahead when you can see your specifications and then release something better?". Clearly Hirai afraid that Microsoft achieved a better console launch the PS4 if they rush it out to the market too.

How much do you expect Sony to launch its PS4? If things continue at this rate, you may not see it on sale until 2014.
