When is a streaming music service is not officially recognized as such? When it comes to YouTube obviously. While the service was originally designed for people to upload their own videos, has become a musical paradise. If looking for a song and can not find it on YouTube, you probably will not find anywhere else on the Internet. Music is a very important part of YouTube, and not just climbing record companies, but also to provide users of the popular platform. While there streaming music services like Spotify, Pandora and others, the video portal of Google is still very popular.
Taking all this into account, it should not surprise that the search engine company wants to launch a music streaming service through YouTube. Google is planning to do this for a few months, and it seems that the big launch of the new service will occur in November or December as expected. In addition, Warner Music will be the first record company to join the party.
The potential of this project for Google, for the record and for users, without doubt is huge. YouTube attracts over 800 million visitors a month and a lot of them use the video portal for music they already know and to discover new music.
Do you think this service will be successful?

The markets for mobile and PCs not only continue to evolve, but also sometimes even come together to create a single device.

Apart from this, the AiO Transformer has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M 2GB, 8GB DDR3 RAM owns and has a 1TB hard drive.

As might be expected, the new hybrid PC runs with Windows 8 and can make the most of the functions of the operating system due to its great touch screen that measures 18.4 inches and has full HD resolution.
The screen has its own set of specifications as it uses Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory that can be expanded using a microSD card. Its operating system is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Nokia Catwalk, the successor of Lumia 920

 http://i.imgur.com/oAU24tr.jpg

Nokia introduced several mobile phones a few days ago at the MWC 2013, but what really caught everyone's attention is that none of these phones was improving the Lumia 920, which still remains the smartphone Nokia logo. This is somewhat understandable if we remember that the Lumia 920 was launched only four months ago, but still, the matter may change in a few months.
It has recently been revealed by a Russian blogger Nokia did present a device capable of being the successor to the 920 in the MWC 2013, but only a few people could see it, and blogger Eldar Murtazin was one of them. According to him, this new smartphone is none other than the Nokia Catwalk, on which we learn for the first time in January at CES 2013. What features will this phone? He will be very thin, have an aluminum body, will incorporate a better version of the camera PureView Phase 2 ... and that's it.
As said, these would be the "news" of the future flagship smartphone Nokia. Maybe we somehow still find some interesting, but for now the Catwalk is nothing surprising or unusual.
If the technology of the Lumia 920 does not convince you and expect something slightly better, then start saving to buy this phone.

http://i.imgur.com/1J9xAzf.jpg

Japanese manufacturers of mobile phones usually take very interesting and attractive models, and often tend to be unique to the country of the rising sun. While Japan has lost its former glory as the big manufacturer of phones in the hands of Apple and South Korea's Samsung , it has not taken away some ideas companies head. Straight from Japan comes the new Phone Strap 2, a tiny mobile created by Willcom. What catches the attention of Phone Strap 2 is measuring just 2 inches tall and measures just 1 inch screen, which makes it the world's smallest mobile phone and also the lightest.
Obviously such a small phone that carries a small battery, so we can only use it to talk for two hours. Nor can we expect wonderful functions or anything like what we see in modern smartphones built today.
Willcom Phone Strap 2 launch on 21 March. The most amazing thing is the price, and it will cost about $ 380 and only 12,000 units were manufactured.

Discounts and deals on the anniversary of Google Play

http://i.imgur.com/p0gLkMP.jpg

Google is very happy apparently. A year ago the app store that the company ceased to be known as Android Market and renamed Google Play, where you can also buy more things, not just apps . To celebrate the first birthday of the store Play, the search engine company has decided to launch offers and discounts for various applications and other products, and of course we will also be offering some downloads totally free these days.
Electronic books, TV shows, music and other things can be downloaded free from the Google store. The good thing about all this is that these and other deals will not be available only for the U.S. version of Play, but to other regions also, but what it could be unique to the U.S. and UK are special cards that we would get even more benefits.
In any case, surely these days we do some free download, so we must take advantage of everything we can.

What would the 4.8-inch iPhone 6?

http://i.imgur.com/Qixw6lB.jpg

If we assume that Apple will continue to launch products in the same way it has done in recent years, then you should not be surprised if in about 5 or 6 months is announced the iPhone 5S. It is expected that this smartphone keeps the design of the iPhone 5 but change some internal components, adding probably a better processor, better GPU, maybe more RAM and probably would have a new function. But going a step further into the future we ask the following: How will the iPhone 6? Martin Hajek gives us an idea using their conceptual models.
The most noticeable change would be the screen, the size of which would extend the 4.8 inch, but would be achieved without increasing the overall size of the phone, but simply reducing the bezel everything possible to increase the width and extending along a little more, Similar to as shown in the above image on the right model. This conceptual model also dismisses the popular iPhone home button, leaving as the only physical buttons control the volume, power and screen lock securely.
Hajek has also thought of a second model (left) similar to that described above, all you would have a smaller screen and have basically no bevel on the sides, which would also smaller than the iPhone 5.
Because Apple designs have only a few changes compared to the previous model, you can practically predict how it will look with the new approach that the Apple iPhone launch.
What do you think about this design concept?

4 finally surpasses Android Gingerbread

Finally, after many months, the use of Android 4 has exceeded that has version 2.3, Gingerbread. With Android 4 refers not only to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), but also to Jelly Bean (4.1 and 4.2). For the first time, Android 4 is the major dominant sector.
Today, of all existing Android smartphones, 45.1% use Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, while Gingerbread gets 44.2%, but if we look at individual values ​​the 2.3 version would remain the number 1.
Regarding the less popular versions, Honeycomb has 1.2% of the total, 1.9% pose Eclair, Froyo 7.6% and 0.2% Donut old.
No doubt that Gingerbread has proved a platform not only durable, but also very well received. The above values ​​continue to show that Android is still quite fragmented, and for sure it will continue for many years. Obviously this is not good for developers, who tend to get apps that are more compatible with newer versions as Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, but if you really want to have a larger scope should also make them compatible with the old version of Gingerbread.
