All About The Upcoming BlackBerry Q10

It does not matter if you are currently a BlackBerry user or not, you are probably still anxious to see the Q10. It will have features that will feel familiar to faithful users, yet it will also boast other features that will entice the typical smartphone user to go ahead and give the brand a try. The BlackBerry Q10 will finally merge hands-on technology with a keyboard. Yes, you very well may get your dream of having the best of both worlds in this one very special phone!

Description

The biggest draw to the Q10 will be that it is a hybrid touch/physical QWERTY phone. Most faithful BlackBerry users remain so loyal simply because of the keyboard, but many other consumers have longed to try the line, if only it offered features similar to other favorite smartphone. Now everyone can be happy.

Q10 boasts a 3.1-inch display with 328 ppi. The screen is brighter and easily viewable from different angles. So, while it does have a smaller screen than what most people would like to see in a BlackBerry, it also has the familiar keyboard that makes life easy, and very accurate.

The phone does not feel heavy in your hand, but it does have a nice solid feel, which is probably due to the glass-weave back plate and steel band wrapped around the middle. It is a little thicker than Z10 though, measuring in at 10.3mm. This means that if you are used to a super lightweight smartphone, this one will definitely feel weighted, and may take a little getting used to.

Q10 boasts a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, and a respectable 2GB of RAM. So, this is certainly enough to offer quick response to input. It will also have internal memory in the amount of 16GM, which is more than what most people need to store music, audio books, pictures, etc.

Although the keyboard will feel familiar, it will also feel more modern. It has those nice sculptured edges and frets you may be familiar with that the BlackBerry Bold has. Instead of being curved, the key layout is straight, and easy to find your way around.

Battery

If you had problems keeping your BlackBerry charged in the past, you may want to consider giving the brand another try with the Q10. When BlackBerry put a 1,800 mAh power unit in Z10, this was already a significant improvement. Now they have gone and given Q10 a 2,100 mAh battery. So, this is sure to make a lot of people happy.

Camera

BlackBerry has never been known to have the best camera on the market, but they do get the job done. If it wasn’t for phones like Galaxy S3, with 8-megapixel cameras, then maybe competition wouldn’t be stiff in this department. Still, the BlackBerry Q10 does alright for itself. It locks on objects and snaps pictures nearly instantly. It does not look like there will be ISO, HDR or other alternate-shooting modes available, but the TimeShift features is a nice touch.

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4

There is a lot of speculation about what  to expect from the Galaxy S4, but so far Samsung has done a remarkable job of keeping the details pretty hushed. Considering how popular and successful the S3 has been, it is no surprise that people are sitting on the edge of their seat waiting to see it unveiled. After all, rumor implies that there will be some pretty futuristic features that you won’t find elsewhere.

Description

One might find it hard to believe that Samsung can make a phone any thinner or lighter, but they have managed to do just that. The display that Galaxy S3 boasts is already huge at 4.8 inches, but it is suggested that S4 is going to top that, measuring in at 5 inches. It will have full HD resolution of 440 pixels. Considering S3 was 306 pixels, this is a huge change. Not to mention, this is a full inch larger than iPhone.

It is also assumed that S4 will have a faster processor than S3. Users should enjoy a 1.8 GHz quad-core processor. This means that it will be more effective and faster than S3, as if there was really any improvement that was needed at all!

As for the camera, there is some speculation that S4 will boast 13 megapixels! S3 already has 8 megapixels and takes gorgeous pictures, so such an increase would be a little baffling. While the upgrade is not necessarily needed, Samsung tends to always improve their camera is some way, so it will be exciting to see if they did increase the megapixels again.

Rumored Features

There have been rumors going around about a few features that S4 will have. These are features that really surpass what most would expect or hope for in a phone. If the phone has all of these, it is safe to say it will set a new bar in technology standards.

  • Touchless Features – You may be able to answer your phone by simply holding it up to your ear. This will likely get mixed reviews. While some may appreciate this feature, others will probably see it as a nuisance. Hopefully, if this feature is present, there will be a way to shut it off.
  • Near Field Communications – Samsung and Visa® have an agreement that will allow you to make payments with your virtual wallet through Near Field Communications. You will simply need to load your credit card information, and then you will have access to the PayWave system that simply requires you to tap your phone to pay.
  • Wireless Charging – Having the ability to wirelessly charge your phone using Qi Standard could be the solution for busy folks who tend to run out of juice on their phone before they have time to recharge. It is suggested that users may need to purchase a replacement back cover to have access to a charging pad.
  • Eye tracking Technology – Here is the big feature that everyone is dying to see. The phone may have the ability to track the user’s eye movement to determine where to scroll. When the eyes reach the bottom of the page, the software will know to scroll down to reveal the next paragraph. Eye tracking systems have actually been in development for quite a while, so it will be exciting to actually see a phone with it in production.

NHL® Coveroo® Slider Cases for iPhone 5

Support your favorite NHL team with the Coveroo® Licensed NHL Slider Case collection. Unfortunately, most phone cases today that actually look great provide very little protection, but that is not the case with these ones. Plus, they are available in both home and away jerseys, so you can protect your phone with a cover that represents the jersey you like the best.

Product Details

NHL Coveroo® Slider Cases have been designed using officially licensed artwork provided by the National Hockey League (NHL). It is compatible with your iPhone 5, and unlike many other cases, this one is easy to install, yet stays in place. It fits snuggly, wrapping around the edges of the phone, and since it is made from a soft touch material, it feels great in your hand. Quite often, phones are dropped because the case itself is so slippery; this is not a problem you will have with these soft touch cases.

These cases are constructed of a two-piece hard shell polycarbonate, which is incredibly durable. It provides the highest level of protection while still giving you access to the phone’s camera, features and ports. It offers a “lay on the table” design. What this means is that the entire bezel of the phone is protected when it is on a flat surface.

Jersey Design

Regardless if you choose an away or home jersey, the artwork used on the custom case is official. While many cases use a sticker or skin that can pull and crack, these cases have the design printed right on them using a HighColor process. The NHL logos and shield are trademarks of the National Hockey League.

Available Canadian NHL Cases

 

Toronto Maple Leafs – This team is one of the league’s “Original Six” members. They are worth $1 billion, and are considered one of the most valuable franchises of the NHL. The logo originated as a green realistic maple leaf, and has gone through a number of transformations over the years to end up as the 11-point leaf displayed on the jersey today. Home jersey is white; away is blue.

 

 

Edmonton Oilers – Based in Edmonton, Alberta, the Oilers are primarily known for being home to Wayne Gretsky for quite a long time. The original 1972 logo features the same blue and orange colors seen today, but it also went through many changes. The case is available as a while home jersey or midnight blue away one.

 

 

 

Vancouver Canucks – This Vancouver-based team joined the NHL in 1970. Their logo has gone through many changes from a simple hockey stick to an orca to “John’s Canuck.” Their away jersey is a striking blue with emerald green and white.

 

 

 

 

Calgary Flames – Founded in 1972, the Calgary Flames have a “Flaming C” design on this slide case. It is the logo introduced when the team moved to Calgary in 1980. The away jersey is a bold red color.

 

 

 

 

 

Montreal Canadians – These Coveroo® cases are extremely popular. After all, this team is North America’s oldest sports franchises. In fact, the team existed before the NHL was formed. The Canadians have one of the most recognized logos of any sports team, and the colors have remained consistent as red, white and blue.

 

 

 

Winnipeg Jets – The logo you see on the Coveroo® Licensed Cases was actually designed by Reebok for this newer team. Interestingly, the team had to receive permission from the Toronto Maple Leafs to incorporate that red leaf behind the jet in their logo.

 

 

 

 

Ottawa Senators – Although only founded in 1990, the Senators have enjoyed a surprising amount of success in their division. The team colors are red, white, black and just a touch of gold, so any phone wearing one of these jersey cases is sure to attract plenty of attention.

NHL® Coveroo® Licensed Thinshield Cases for iPod, iPad Mini and iPhone 5

If you are like most other people, you have at least one Apple gadget that is pretty much glued to your fingers at all times. You may even have an iPod, iPad and iPhone! These are things that really need to be protected, and although most people do buy a case for their iPhone, the other items are generally neglected. Some people do not even know that there are cases available for iPod Mini and iPod Touch 4th Gen, but there are!

If you are a hockey fan, then you already know that it is hard to find a NHL case for your iPhone 5, so you probably assume finding one for your other Apple gadgets is a lost cause. Well, thanks to NHL Coveroo® Licensed products, now you can show off your team spirit wherever you happen to be by dressing up your handheld device with one of these fantastic cases. You can even get them for all your Apple products so everything matches too. That is real team spirit!

 iPhone 5 Thinshield

It does not matter if you are on the phone waiting in line at your favorite morning coffee joint, or if you are in the bar and have your phone sitting out on the table, you can let the world know your favorite team, without saying a word.

These officially licensed products are available with all the NHL team logos and they look just like the jerseys that the players wear. This Thinshield case snaps on with easy installation, but stays in place. It boasts a one-piece polycarbonate construction, so it wraps around all of the corners of your phone to provide optimal protection. When it is in place properly, the case still allows you access to the camera, ports and functions of the phone.

iPad Mini

The Coveroo® Licensed NHL Thinshield Cases that are designed for iPad Mini also offer easy installation and a perfect fit. They snap on easily, and since they are made of a soft-touch material, they feel nice in your hands. The covers are crafted from polycarbonate, so they really do not affect weight or add bulk the way that some covers do.

Like the iPhone 5 case, this one also boasts artwork that is licensed from the National Hockey League. It grants access to all functions while in place, so you can snap pictures, sync and charge without the cover off.

 iPod Touch 4Th Generation

It is surprising how many people do not put a cover on their iPod. It does not matter which generation iPod you have, these gadgets need protecting, so you may as well do it in style and show off your team spirit while you are at it. Since the Coveroo® NHL Licensed Covers are made of polycarbonate they won’t add a lot of bulk, so your iPod can still nicely fit in your pocket. Plus, the soft-touch material will offer a little extra traction, just in case your hands are sweaty from your run or bike ride!

All About BlackBerry Z10 – Cases & Accessories for Blackberry

Has BlackBerry finally joined modern times with the Z10? One of the biggest complaints people have had with their product line in recent years is concerning their styling. Consumers have wanted and demanded the performance of BlackBerry combined with the exterior appearance and display of a smartphone. Will BlackBerry Z10 deliver?

Design

BlackBerry Z10 offers a refined exterior with curved corners and a solid band of plastic (feels like metal) that encircles the perimeter of the phone. It is a bit larger than iPhone, boasts a 4.2-inch display, but there is no home button on the front.

The phone is not heavy, but it feels solid in your hand. The back is made of a soft touch, dimpled material and opens to reveal the battery, microchip and SIM. As far as display goes, you may instantly compare it to Windows phones from HTC and Nokia, but when you explore closer, you find it is so much more.

Performance and Battery Life

There should be no complaints when it comes to performance; BlackBerry Z10 is impressively responsive. It has no problem zipping in and out of messages, and from one application to another.

As for battery life, it likely won’t blow you away, but it does fall in line with other LTE devices. The average user may very well be able to get through a day without recharging, but a busy professional will definitely need to plug-in midday.

Interface

The interface of BlackBerry Z10 is brilliant, but will demand a tutorial to use it to its full potential. Gestures are used to move through software selections. There are essentially four “states” in the Z10 “country.” These include homescreen, BlackBerry Hub (messaging), in an application and in your app drawer.

The homescreen is unique, and displays a colorful grid of apps you are currently running. It will hold up to eight, and they can double as widgets. In a nutshell, the interface combines a lot of iOS and android features in one, so you essentially get the best of both worlds.

Features

  • Keyboard – The one element that BlackBerry absolutely had to get right was the touchscreen keyboard, especially after their disaster with the Storm. Fortunately, they did a stellar job on this keyboard and the word-predict feature is hauntingly accurate.
  • Browser – Z10’s browser is fantastic, loading even heavy sites with ease. It also has Flash functionality build right in.
  • Messaging – BlackBerry Hub offers respectable email capabilities. It integrates a variety of services, but can get a little overwhelming using the Twitter feature at times, if you have a lot of mentions.

Seidio OBEX™ Cases for iPhone 5

The absolute last thing you want to do is leave your iPhone 5 vulnerable to damage. It doesn’t matter if you waited in a long line for it, or if you had to save your pennies for a year as you patiently waited its arrival, chances are good you would be just a tad bit upset if it became damaged. As you probably already know, there are a lot of pretty cool cases available for the iPhone 5, but many simply look good without providing much protection. If you want one that is both attractive and protective, you want to check out the fantastic selection of Seidio OBEX™ cases that are available.

About

Seidio OBEX™ cases for iPhone 5 have been through some seriously rigorous testing, but that does not mean you can’t test it for yourself. Go ahead and put paper or fabric inside and submerge it in water to make sure it really does seal up properly before jumping in the lake with your iPhone 5 in your pocket.

Seidio’s OBEX™ has been tweaked and fine-tuned to protect your phone against drops, bumps, sand, dust, water, snow and mud. So, no matter where you are, you should be able to have your phone with you. It even comes with a clip, which allows you to fasten it to your belt, purse or messenger bag.

The Seidio OBEX™ has been created so it does not interfere with using your phone in any way. USB ports can still be accessed in dry conditions and a rubber silicone stopper keeps outside elements like dust and liquid from reaching the phone. The case does not interfere with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or radio signals at all. It barely adds any bulk to the phone and it only weighs 1.40oz.

Protect Against Drops

The Seidio OBEX™ iPhone 5 case passes the MIL-STD-810G test. This means that it can be dropped from 4 feet in the air at different angles and protect the phone inside. It is crafted from a combination of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and Polycarbonate (PC), so it is protected on both the inside and outside. Plus thanks to the thoughtful combination of a screen protector that has a 4H hardness rating and the raised edges, a barrier is created to block out external elements.

Waterproof

A lot of cases on the market claim to be waterproof, but consumers find out far too often that they are anything but. The smallest leak can ruin a phone. This is not a concern you have with the Seidio OBEX™. The case does better than meet the IP68 rating, which means that it seals tight enough to completely protect against liquid, even when submerged. This also ensures that no dust is getting in either.

A two-stage protection system provides a strong protective barrier at critical entry points. Don’t assume sound quality would be compromised though because it’s not. both the microphone and speakers are shielded by waterproof membranes. Picture quality is not affected either as the camera lens is protected by anti-reflective glass.

If you are looking to protect your investment, there is no doubt that the Seidio OBEX™ will do a phenomenal job. It has exceeded rigorous tests, the styling is appropriate for anyone and any environment and it is lightweight; what more could you ask for?

Seidio OBEX™ Cases for Galaxy S III

If you have had cases in the past let you down, then you are likely really doing your homework to find one that will provide your Samsung Galaxy S III with the highest level of protection. Faithful Samsung  users waited patiently for the arrival of this model, just as Apple enthusiasts waited for the iPhone 5.

This is a phone with a generous size screen that offers vibrant color, so the last thing you want is a case that lacks clarity. Plus, it has one of the best cameras around, so the case can’t compromise picture quality either. Of course, the most important thing is that when it says it’s drop and waterproof, it actually provides your phone with this extreme level of protection. This is where Seidio OBEX™ cases get introduced.

Protection Without Compromise

There is nothing quite like this case. It is designed to keep the phone dry, even if it is submerged in liquid, which means it also seals tight enough to keep out dust and dirt. These cases are also drop-tested, so your phone isn’t going to shatter when you go to jump out of your truck and forget the device was on your lap.

The case is designed in a way that it will not interfere with Bluetooth, Near Field Communications or radio signals. You also have full access to USB and headphone ports in dry conditions. When the ports are not in use, dust and liquid are kept out with rubber silicone stoppers. This allows your phone to be fully functional while the case is installed.

Waterproof

You might think that any case that offers waterproof protection will automatically diminish picture and video quality, but this case won’t. Seidio OBEX™ protects the camera lens with anti-reflection glass. Also, sound quality is not affected either as waterproof membranes shield both the microphone and speakers.

Now, the last thing you want to do is find out your Galaxy S III is not protected the first time you go jogging in the rain or your kayak flips over.

The case is made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane and Polycarbonate, so it offers both interior and exterior protection. Therefore, it will keep the phone safe during compression and bumps too.
