Updates from Google I/O – What is New on Google Play and Chrome
17 May 2013 by David Gitonga
Once again, the Google I/O event was an opportunity for Google to showcase what magic and innovation they have been cooking up in their labs. This year, they did not disappoint and came through as usual. Here is my take on what I loved about the new developer tools. 900 million Androids activations as of 2013 was probably the big opening news during the event. The android ecosystem is truly ama...

They have allowed us to experience the web in a new way by simplifying how we organize our contacts, meetings, travel and even personal information. While these two assistants are probably the most popular, they are not the only ones that offer the service. A new...

Google releases the Chromebook Pixel, designed for high-performance cloud computing
28 Feb 2013 by David Gitonga
When manufacturing cheap personal computers, designers have to make trade-offs between processing power, memory and other computer components in order to strike an economical but workable balance. The balance, clearly, is a delicate one and any solution that eliminates the need for one of these components is highly welcome. Google Chromebooks are such solutions that do away with the need for hu...

The long wait for the PlayStation 4 is almost over
27 Feb 2013 by David Gitonga
Since the release of PlayStation 3 on November 11, 2006 in Japan, Sony game console lovers have had nothing to look forward to apart from the release of new games and hardware/design upgrades, which I must admit, though functional, were never enough to quench the thirst for something totally new and different. After the long wait, Sony has finally announced the successor, the PlayStation 4. Impre...

Google Nexus 7 tablet: The specs drill-down
30 Nov 2012 by David Gitonga
Not long ago, Apple took the full impact of the tech limelight by releasing the iPhone 5 and their next generation iPads. Its competitors, with one such example being Google, had earlier announced a branded 7-inch tablet, the Google Nexus 7. In the making of the $200 tablet, Google knew that they had to beat the redefined hardware specification set by the iPad and the Amazon-made Kindle Fire. Oth...

Samsung and Google create the ultimate mobile companion for cloud enthusiasts
28 Nov 2012 by David Gitonga
In the world of technology, we invent and or create some things, and that becomes the end of the story. We sometimes invent and create, but some consumers just do not like the results. There is a breed of innovations, however, that sell out even before they are actually unveiled to the public. Since their introduction into the market, the ChromeBooks have taken to the side as a not widely accepted...

Circumstances might have pushed Google to cancel its scheduled Android event in New York City but the tech giant’s spirit remained ablaze with the announcement of its new array of the Nexus devices. The company has added three more devices to the Nexus series, namely Nexus 4, a 3G-enabled Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10. After an avalanche of leaks that hinted on the Nexus 4’s exact specs before its o...

The iPad mini to battle it out with full tablets like iPad 2 and the Android-powered Nexus 7
26 Oct 2012 by David Gitonga
Finally, the iPad mini is here. As its name suggests, it is slightly smaller than the regular iPad though its 7.9 inches still compares favorably with something like the Nexus 7. Its ultra slim design easily makes up for the big surface area that gives it a lean profile, and a surprisingly hefty feel on the hands which puts it at a better place against its rivals. Apple did a fine job with the iP...

At a glance: What the iOS 6 update brings into the Apple world
16 Oct 2012 by David Gitonga
“A new iOS for the new iPhone” That sounds logical, but inadequate. It will do no harm to delve deeper and know what this new marvel has in store for us. Like any other innovative innovation, iOS 6 comes with custom-made functionality that will not take long before becoming an integral part of us, one that we will eventually find difficult to live without. High expectations might however be d...
