Apple was initially rumoured to be running low on iPhone 6 stock due to an impressive demand (Pre-orders) for the latest apple gadget and Apple reported to have now finally confirmed the rumour to be true. The Apple iPhone 6 series have reported to record huge pre-order at a record pace after it was recently announced on the 9th of September.
After Friday's opening of Pre-order for the latest Apple phones, the online Apple Store was said to have experienced some delays due to huge demand for the iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus units. The units were expressed to sell for between $200 to $400 for the iPhone 6 on contract and iPhone 6 Plus available between £300 to $500 on contract (for the 16GB, 64GB and 128GB), while the SIM free (international) versions will be available for between $750 - $850 (120,000 - 136,000). #softbreedtechnologies.com for more...

Microsoft has been reported to release at least a test version of the Windows 9 PC Operating System from October. The Windows 9 which is built on the Windows 8 platform but with improved features. One of the high points of the Windows 9 is the re-introduction of the traditional windows START MENU, which appears to be integrated with live tiles as launch menu for applications installed on the PC.
The new start menu allows user to pin app to the menu, unpin, uninstall, re-size etc. The Windows 9 definitely appears to be promising and is expected a lot more user friendliness that the Microsoft OSes are known for. The test version will be available (according to info sources) from next month for interested end users to incorporate and experience before the release of the full version at a later date. #softbreedtechnologies.com for more...

rottennaija: 8mp rear camara for a device like that is not enough

Well, we all believe '8MP' is still a speculation until its announcement in about 1hr:40mins
Should be higher in my opinion...

Apple, one of the biggest and most innovative mobile communications firm is getting set to announce her latest flagship duo – The iPhone 4.7 and iPhone 5.5 tomorrow (September 9, 2014 by 10am PDT). Live video stream of the unveiling event will be made available online via apple safari browsers and apps.
The iPhone 6 series have both gone through a lot of rumour mills and scrutiny in recent times but till its eventual launch tomorrow, we all interestingly wait for the amazing device to hit the mobile consumers across the world.
The iPhone 6 will be coming in two variants according to screen dimensions – 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch with resolution of 1704x960 and pixel density of 416ppi, which will be projected by the bright IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display. It is expected to come with sapphire glass protection with oleophobic coating to offer a high degree of water resistance (we believe it would have gone through some Ingress Protection rating by now). The high quality device is expected to be powered at a processing capacity clocked at 2GHz, Apple A8 processor and complemented by a 2GB RAM and storage of between 16-128GB (with no external expansion).
It is hoped to feature an 8MP rear camera will dual-LED flash and autofocus at a HD resolution of 3264x2448 to offer simultaneous video (1080p) and image recording, coupled with a front-facing camera.

Samsung mobile has just announced in the last 24hrs another milestone in mobile phone technology at the IFA 2014, taking place at Messe, Berlin. Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 4 (actually a duo of Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge were announced).
The Galaxy Note 4 as presented during the IFA and from the video ad released by Samsung mobile is known to feature the new metallic frame, premium design with fluid curvature. This magnificent piece is expressed to come in several colour variants i.e. charcoal black, blossom pink, bronze gold and frost white.
Behind the hood of the Note 4 design is a 2.7GHz Quad-core Processor (in Krait 450 and Cortex-A57 series), complemented by 3GB RAM and 32GB storage with room for expansion through SDCard of up to 64GB. It spots a 16MP rear camera with resolution of 3456x4608 pixels enhanced with OIS - Optical Image Stability for shadow-free photos and real-time high definition; a 3.7MP front-facing camera with f1.9 aperture for brighter and clearer shots.
It features the same screen size of 5.7-inch as Note 3 and of Super Amoled Technology but at a high resolution of 1440x2560 and pixel density of 515ppi with wider horizontal viewing angle of 120 degrees and 90 vertical. Beyond the specs, it features the latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat (with Android L update in view) and offers Ultra Power Saving Mode – during which the phone’s high capacity is trimmed down to Call, Message, Internet, Calender, Clock and S-Planner and can offer up to 1day and a half of standby power even at 10% charge. #softbreedtechnologies.com

The Note Edge on the other hand, features same specifications as Note 4 except for its slightly smaller screen size at 5.6-inch but remarkably with a curved touchscreen (OLED display) edge. The curved edge displays notifications (such as SMS, emails, facebook alerts, tweets notifications, whatsapp, missed calls etc.) independent of the main screen and without interrupting the main display.
It is also known to offer fast charging as its counterpart (Note 4) with full battery charge within an hour.

Opera mini, one of the best mobile browsers in the world with over 300million internet users across the globe and known to save up to 90% of data while you surf, is currently undergoing test for its beta version on the Windows Phone platform. I personally find this very exciting, as I am an ardent user of Opera mini (for its data and web page saving features and 'tabbing').
To all the lovers of Opera Mini with Windows Phones, your wait is nearing an end. Opera also admitted on their website having taken a long time to make the opera mini browser available on the Windows Phone platform but now encourage users to download the test version and give feedback, hoping to use your feedback for improvements and to offer the best browsing experience on your Windows Phone.
*We are currently awaiting a prompt for download after registering our e-mail address and hoping it will be available across all platforms (7.5 - 8.1)

echepops: Hmmm so much for less, good move,...anyways how much be the Gold version ? 2GB ram..

N23,9000 Amazing! Isn't it?

duwdu: Good question. I'm sure if the OP knew at the time the original post was made, the price for the 2GB RAM with 16GB ROM version would have been included. Waiting to see that price ASAP - here or elsewhere. (Quite a number of threads ongoing w.r.t. this phone already.) Hmm.

Nice one! Very thoughtful....

At last, the much anticipated flagship android device is here – Infinix Zero. The pocket friendly yet packed device appears to be a dream-come-true for a lot of android fans. The spectacular mobile device has a dimension of 140x70x7.9mm (height x width x thickness) and features – an MTK 6592 true Octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz speed with enough power for High definition video processing, multi-tasking and gaming. The high-end device spots a 5-inch HD screen with 16million colour display projected at 1280x720 resolution on an IPS (In-Plane Switching) display.
The design of the infinix zero is synonymous to those of the Sony Xperia Zs (in my opinion) with corning gorilla glass 3 (to offer anti-scratch and damage resistance) protection for the front and rear of the 4.4.2 KitKat Android-running gadget. It is further garnished with a 13MP BSI (featuring a Sony EXMOR RS Sensor) rear camera with AutoFocus and a 2MP front-facing for amazing selfies and powered by a 1920mAh Lithium battery. This stunning device is available in 2 variants – 16GB ROM + 2GB RAM and 8GB ROM + 1GB RAM.
Now available “exclusively” for pre-order at N20,900 (for the 8GB ROM + 1GB RAM variant) and N23,900 (for the 16GB ROM + 2GB RAM)!!! Quite amazing! I believe this spectacular device will successfully rival the Tecnos, Gionees, Jiayus, Huaweis, Elephones and Xiaomis of this world. softbreedtechnologies.com for more info…

seunlayi: is this cheap, no, I disagree

And why do u disagree?

If you are interested in buying new phones at cheaper prices (that rival prices from the computer village), call 200, check out phones from any experience center closest to you or betterstill text '1' to 1960 to receive info on latest discounts (sms is free on etisalat network).
"Get SamsungNote3 @95,495k; Lumia1020 @83k; Lumia920 @60k; BB Q10 @52k; HuaweiP6 @45k; SamsungNote2 @70k; NokiaX @19,110; TECNO T635 @7,700 & HuaweiY220 @7,000"
Very interesting! I just love this network....

Please note, his claims may not be true! Anyone who falls for this will have him/herself to blame. Be warned! (This is only possible via Data Family Plan/Data Share but his prices dont add up - may be he can throw more light, cos you can't sell less than you have bought. it's against the 'rule of profitability').
I will personally blog it on my site if etisalat has any new development on data plans for the sake of my fans & all others to benefit.
Peace!!

Abrahamweb: chairman,must u lie,at first glance u must see d chick na.abeg do small small

U nah bad boy! I got nothing to say

kayciano: MY BROTHER ...na TRUE ooooo.
Every advert nowdays ,has a STRAIN or can be traced back to SEX.
Even phone chargers , cement bags and tooth pick packs gat unclad females.
Wat is Left now, is for LADIES to pose naked with HOLY COMMUNION WINE and holy BREAD.
I have said it time without number, dat d worst thing dat can happen in this chaotic Nigeria is to have a FEMALE LEADER....Dat very day...i wil start making plans to leave this country.

Even though, I do not encourage nudity, but one can't take away the fact that that feminine touch adds beauty to your presentation! it's the way they are specially created with softness & elegance (but dont have to necessarily go nude to achieve that). Now, back to the TV....

femi4: Don't be too quick to point that finger

In 1995, to compete better in the
Western market, the Lucky-Goldstar
Corporation was renamed "LG". The
company also associates the letters LG
with the company's tagline "Life's Good".
Since 2009, LG has owned the domain
name LG.com

Corrected sir! Thank you

Yinkatolu: Sex content in almost every advert. what has d half-nude lady got to do with d TV.

true... but didnt really notice till u mentioned it. Guess, I was busy looking at the tv that i missed the lady

johnwizey: Will I get to watch judgement day live on it

Lmao! Baddest guy....

Latest news making the rounds has it that the South Korean electronic giant Lucky Goldstar (LG) just announced the launch of a humongous 105-inch curved TV built upon ultra-high definition Organic-LED display technology (and IPS variant). The “out-of –this-world” TV offers a display resolution of 5120x2160 which makes it the world’s first 5K TV! Another amazing detail about the TV is the sound production system designed by the popular Harman Kardon, spotting a 150Watts powered sound from 7.2 channel speaker. The 105-inch curved ultra-high definition display machine will also feature the modern webOS technology for internet access support and is expected to come at a thought-provoking cost of about $120,000 or N19.2million (not official yet), which definitely makes it an elitists’ TV and cost might be one of the contentions of this amazing device.
It’s expected to be available in Korea first and other regions to follow later.

yorex2011: 57k? For what na... Cant pay more dan 25k for dat crap.. When xiaomi's older models beta pass this one.... Mtchew

25kini...? fear God oooo....

I just ordered for one, looking forward to making a video hands-on review on it once I can lay my hands. D specs are great - dolby-sound enhancements (speakers lateraly located), leather grain texture back, Super Amoled display with corning gorilla glass protection on a 5.2-inch screen (its bezel it quite slim from the pics on the site, really impressed!), 2GB RAM, 32GM ROM (with memory card expansion support of up to 32GB), 2.0GHz Octa-core Cortex-A7 processor, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, Dual Mini-SIM support, 16MP rear camera with dual flash, 8MP front-facing (also with flash), not too sure of the battery capacity, could be 2500mAh or 4500mAh & only black colour variant seems to be available for now... Personally, I feel its promising, but let's wait to see what it delivers in terms of real-time user experience (currently no info on OTA update support yet) but still a great phone!!

At last, the much anticipated Tecno Phantom Z is now available for pre-order @N57,800 from www.tecno-mobile.com/phantomz. According to latest Tecno's post on their social networking page (facebook), first 1000 people to get a gift...
So, if you know you love it, go for it!

OohMpa: [color=#808000]Mumu....Get your äss off the big words.It's still gonna be cheap[/color]

oh yea?

Herrmes: Hahahaha, I could never do that even in a thousand years, just hate it for no obvious reasons

Lols... No pee!

Collinz2: I always love samsung galaxy, very beautiful. And one thing abt them is that any time they release high end phone is will be the best phone in that period. E.g s4 and note 3 expect 4 that stupid s5. Damn!

True! But apple fans will definitely not agree with you....

Herrmes: There's no Qualcomm even 2k optimized chipset and please I hate mediatek

So, why do you hate MediaTek sir? I encourage to visit their website and read more about the firm and let's see if you won't be impressed at the end of the day.... www.mediatek.com

Collinz2: Mediatek on 2k, while Qualcomm is on 4k (QHD). Mediatek wise up please.

And how of the Qualcomm's 4k phone(s) are you aware of?

texazzpete: You just ignorantly regurgitated marketing material without thinking.

Loads of big buzzwords to get you fanboys salivating, yet these are features SoCs from Qualcomm, Nvidia and Samsung can boast of already.

Good luck explaining away Tecno's crazy pricing of the Phantom Z...meanwhile FAR superior OEMs like Xiaomi are selling Octacore Mediatek phones for $160.

Thank you for your comments but your reference to 'buzz words' on this platform is needless really cos this is a mobile tech platform, so it's allowed. On Tecno Phantom Z's pricing, I have no axe to grind, just a tech analyst trying to praise some innovations around here.
