The iPhone 6 Will Be In Two Sizes With A Higher Resolution Screen - september launch


Apple will release the iPhone 6 in September,It says suppliers of the iPhone's screens are set to ramp production soon in order to hit the September release.
The Nikkei also says the iPhone will come in two screen sizes, 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch.
Right now Apple's iPhone 5 and 5S are 4-inch screens. Apple is the only major phone manufacturer with a screen that small.
The latest flagship Android phones from Samsung and HTC both come with 5-inch screens.
As a result, the iPhone's screen feels small and cramped relative to its Android competition.
In addition to enlarging the screen, Apple will make the resolution on the new iPhones significantly higher, says the Nikkei.
The new iPhones, with big screens, will be significantly different than older models of the iPhone, and as a result Marshall expects big sales to existing customers.


Twitter buys cover - Android Lock Screen


Developers are always working on making smartphones easier to use, and one of the best ways to do that is providing quick access to the features you use most on your device.

That’s the goal of cover, the lock-screen application that social media giant, Twitter, has recently acquired .

Cover was originally conjured up by former Google staff. It learns your habits and provides lock-screen shortcuts to your most often used apps. What’s a lot of is it conjointly changes the applications supported where/when you’remistreatment it. Let’s say you’re in your automotivedashing down the road, well cowl can apprehend the placeyour navigation application, or no matter it's you utilize once you drive (browsing touchwood, for all we tend toknow), and populates your lock-screen with it.


Twitter hasn’t revealed any solid details as to how they intend to use Cover, but they’ve released this statement:
“Twitter, like Cover, believes in the incredible potential of Android. They share our vision that smartphones can be a lot smarter — more useful and more contextual — and together we’re going to make that happen…we’ll be building upon a lot of what makes Cover great, and we’re thrilled to create something even better at Twitter.”
Cover also announced the deal via…what else? Twitter.
Facebook tried to customize the Android home screen experience, but didn’t succeed in doing so. Does anybody think that twitter has what it takes to change the way we use Android with Cover?

Flipkart & Myntra to Merge ? Mukesh Bansal not too keen on buyout


Flipkart and Myntra are close to a deal which could either be an acquisition by India's largest online retailer or a partnership between the two companies. "The companies are in talks for a commercial partnership, but an acquisition is also on the table," said a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. "All options are being explored." The two companies have three common investors — early stage investor Accel Partners, hedge fund Tiger Global and Belgium-based family office Sofina.


Accel and Tiger have been pushing for a merger for a few months according to several people with knowledge of the developments. However, Myntra's founders have not been too keen to conclude an outright acquisition. "They will prefer a financial investment where they can operate as a separate entity," said a person, who has worked as a consultant with Flipkart and Myntra.
Between a merger with Flipkart and a new round of funding led by Wipro chairman Azim Premji's family office Premji Invest, Myntra opted for the money in February. The company raised $50 million (aboutRs 300 crore) at a valuation of about $200 million (about Rs 1,200 crore). At the time of the investment, Bansal had refuted reports of a possible merger with Flipkart saying the two companies followed different models.
However, he had conceded there was merit in exploring ways to work together and take on competition. Amazon, which has rapidly built a presence in India since June last year, is expected to start selling apparel later this month.

Motorola Moto G Forte Image leaks out on Twitter

Alleged image of a rugged Moto G version made the rounds on Twitter, courtesy of @evleaks. Dubbed Moto G Forte, the smartphone is reportedly bound for markets in Latin America.


The image reveals a slightly bulked up Moto G derivative. There is no word on exactly how rugged the upcoming handset will be. We won’t be surprised if it features some degree of water resistance, as the side buttons shown in the leaked photo look sealed.
Specifications and details on the release of the Moto G Forte are yet to be revealed. We doubt it will be a long wait before the device goes official.
