There has been a lot of reports that the iPhone 5 and Google Nexus 3 will be launched at the same time at the end of September.
Most people already know a lot about the upcoming iPhone 5, but there is limited information about the Google Nexus 3.
The Google Nexus 3 isnt expected to be your average Android handset. The Nexus 3 will feature Android 4 software, which is expected to show off an all new user interface for the operating system. It will be very interesting to see if Google can actually ramp of sales of their own handsets, because up until now they have been unable to compete!
iPad by Apple is a truly amazing tablet. It lets you do practically everything you can expect out of a tablet and no wonder if it exceeds your expectations. The best part of an iPad is that you can even use it to earn good money by becoming a developer. Now you can always develop new and attractive applications for iTunes App store, but what many people don’t know is that you can even develop Games for an iPad. Now that sounds interesting, isn’t it?
It indeed sounds lucrative to be able to create your own iPad games. You can use your own created game to use an as example of your skills for your prospective employers, as part of your portfolio, and of course, to earn money by selling it on App Store. What is important to note, however, that it is anything but a child’s play to create iPad games. One would need to dedicate a lot of time for mastering the skills that are necessary to create the game applications. You should be ready to spare a lot of your time as the whole process calls for much effort and considerable time. However, it is certainly not an impossible job; if you are determined you can do it.
Here is some information on what is required to create games for an iPad.
• Learn Objective C
Objective C is the programming language that is universally used to create applications not only for iPad, but also for iPod and iPhone. This process is time consuming and will require you to spend some dedicated time to study the subject everyday for some months at least. It might be easier to get yourself enrolled in a technical school to learn the subject in a most professional manner.
• Join the Apple’s iOS Developer Program
It costs 99 dollars per year to join this program. When you register yourself, you are allowed to download the latest iPad software development kit or SDK in short, test the developed applications on a virtual iPad and then finally upload it to App Store for selling.
• Develop and Code
Once you have gained the required skills, you can then start developing the game concept and start coding it. You may want to hire a graphics designer to do the graphics for your dream game; otherwise you would need to study to master the skill of graphics designing also.
• Testing Phase
It is very important that you test your game extensively before uploading it to App Store for selling. You can also distribute it to some of your friends with iPad to know their feedback. Catch and fix as many bugs as possible.
• Submit
Once the game has passed the testing phase, you can submit it to iTunes Connect through the “Program Portal” under your Developer account. The Developer Certificate given to you at the time of registration should be valid. You may not know but this certificate needs to be renewed every six months. Once it has expired, it can be purchased again via the Developer account.

If you’re bored of your island and your Learjet, and your Monet just doesn’t do it for you anymore, you may want to consider this brand new smartphone from Swiss luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer. With a price tag set at just 4,700 euros, or only $6,820 dollars, you may want to consider getting one for the trophy wife as well.
Even the richest among us need cell phones, so why not go all out? The Link, the latest entry-level smartphone from Tag Heuer, has a wide spectrum of features, although, some may say, not enough to quite justify its price tag. It runs on Android 2.2, has a 3.5 inch TFT display, and features a five-megapixel camera so you can show off your mansion to the in-laws. The Link is also Stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capable and has a starting memory of 256 megabytes, which is expandable to as much eight gigabytes with the appropriate memory cards. The sturdy little battery allows for up to six hours of talk time per charge, but put the Link on standby and the battery can last you up to two weeks.
Of course, the features aren’t why you would invest nearly seven thousand dollars on this gadget. The Link is made from only the highest quality materials – gold, titanium, a few diamonds, if you like. The best thing about this cutting edge design from Tag Heuer is that, like many of their best-selling watches, the consumer can specify the materials from which he wishes to have his phone made. Besides the above choices, also on the menu are steel, platinum, and silver. Although the phone cannot be made entirely of diamond – diamond just gets such poor signal quality – the manufacturers can throw in a few diamonds to be encrusted into the surface, if you please. Trims are also available in Calfskin leather.
Whether you prefer CDMA or GSM, there will be a Link for you, available for the carrier of your choice. The Link’s screen is made out of high-end Corning’s Gorilla Glass, much like the screen of the iPhone, and this should help your diamond-encrusted jewel box to last a little longer no matter how roughly you handle it. Availability of the Link hasn’t yet been announced, although it will probably not show up in the electronics section of Wal-Mart.
The Link is the second high-end smartphone produced by Tag Heuer. Their first release, the 2008 Meridiist feature phone, was priced at a mere $5,000 and had even less features than the Link. These two from Tag Heuer are actually comparatively quite cheap when it comes to high-priced smartphones. The price cake was taken in 2010 by an eight million dollar iPhone built by Stuart Hughes, a designer from the United Kingdom. It included the obligatory gold-plating and diamond-encrusting – over one hundred karats in total. There have also been quite a few Blackberrys custom made to quite exotic and opulent specifications, for those of us who are both filthy rich and have a mind for the business and organizational end of things.

The Rotary Mechanical Smartphone is a very cool modern touch screen phone that has been steampunked! I really love the old school dial and the touchscreen combination.
The longer the phone is carried around and used, the more attractive it will get: the overlying layer of paint will wear away to expose the electroplated copper body beneath.
Introducing The Hoverbike, invented by Australian Chris Malloy, is a prototype that was built in a garage over the course of two and a half years. The Hoverbike has twin propellers that can lift the bike over 10,000 feet.

Toshiba has released their Satellite P700 series laptops. The models include the P745, P755/P755 3D, and P775, which sport 14-inch, 15.6-inch, and 17.3-inch displays, respectively.

The P745 starts at $699.99, the P7555 begins at $629.99, and the P775 starts at $629.99. The high-end P775 3D will set you back at least $1,199.99.
It seems like Nintendo arent going to make a competitor to the PS3 blu-ray player on their new Nintendo Wii U.
Why did the company take away the convenience of being able to watch a movie on the same player used for playing games? Gaming site Kotaku quoted Nintendo president Satoru Iwata:
“The reason for that is we feel that enough people already have devices that are capable of playing DVDs and Blu-ray, such that it didn’t warrant the cost involved to build that functionality into the Wii U console because of the patents related to those technologies.”
Sony has just announced the PS Vita, the next generation PSP. The PS Vita has dual analog sticks, front- and rear-mounted cameras, a multi-touch backing, 5-inch OLED touchscreen, sixaxis motion sensor, wifi and 3G. Retail price for the wifi-only version: $249. With 3G: $299.
