Stakes are running high as the Samsung Galaxy S3 (III) approaches its release. The most talked about aspect being 4.6 inch or a larger screen size with 720x1,280 pixels crammed in – at par with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. If Korean news sources are to be believed, the panel might not be same as on the Nexus – the Samsung Galaxy S3 will sport a Super AMOLED Plus display . The bottom line is that the S3 will have a screen technology that will be crispier than the Galaxy Nexus. Those who were speculating a 3D display, Samsung has definitely played spoilsport by suggesting that 3D is still a no-go for the Galaxy. Tech lovers are, however, keeping their eyes fixed on the specs of the flagship S3 - in the hope that it will set Apple to pause prior to the launch of the much hyped iPhone 5. As a flagship model, we can expect the Samsung Galaxy S3 packing in some extra punches against the specs of the iPhone 5. Given the success Galaxy S2 has enjoyed, take it a little easy on your ...

Looks like your high-end smartphone may soon be redundant and out of fashion! How about a pair of slim glasses which lets you text, mail, listen to music, take pictures, get the latest weather reports – while on the move? It’s augmented reality and wearable technology we are talking about! Named Google Project Glass , the deceptively simple sci-fi type pair of glasses is a concept device from Google X , the secret lab of Google. In a Google+ post, the Googlers behind the concept wrote, "A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We're sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do." The digital prototype glasses in the video, a user looks d...

Fully automatic sounds too good. Just hit the shutter release and you are done. Your point-and-shoot camera does it all for you. The best thing about these cameras is also their weak point. It takes all the control off your hands. The output is controlled by the camera. DSLRs on the other hand give you all the control you want. You are in charge of the output as well. However, set the control to AUTO and hand it to your 10-year old. The job is still done.  So, which one's better?  Technically, DSLRs are the best. You can customize the easy-to-use buttons and focus where you want to. Change the lens to meet your requirement, and you call it an upgrade. Point-and-shoot cameras have a fixed lens and they really are no match for the optically superior DSLR lenses.  Are all point-and-shoot cameras really bad?   That isn't true either! When photgraphy skills are questionable, point-and-shoot cameras come in really handy. They offer speed to the user. Ease of use. Easy to...
