1. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

Apple has launched iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus simultaneously bringing the iOS 8. Though the phones are still not available in the Indian market, the news of its availability has created is enough excitement about it. Having looked at the prices, we do not know, in whose pocket it will fit in.

2. Blackberry Passport

We belied that in the crowd of touch screen and smart phones, the significance of Blackberry has vanished. However, the RIM has come back with a bang. The square shaped Blackberry Passport is expected to attract businessmen and entrepreneurs. We will have to wait and watch what response it receives.

3. Sony Z3 & Z3 Compact

UFO - Unidentified Flying CAMERA!

We are amazed to see those fancy gadgets Batman or James Bond possess. But some of them are becoming a reality. Participating in the Intel’s Make it Wearable contest, a group of enthusiasts have created wearable, flyable camera prototype named Nixie.

The gadget is worn on the wrist. It unstraps itself off from the wrist when you want to take a picture, takes flight into the air, takes your picture and straps back to your wrist, all on its own! Truly mind-boggling, isn't it?

Don't believe us, take a look at its video yourself. 

Smart Phone or Smart Drug!

There is no doubt that we spend more time on our smart phones than we spend on any other devices. In fact, many of us check weather updates and e-mail notifications even before getting out of the bed in the morning (alarms, we’ll blindly snooze but we can’t bear even one minute checking Whatsapp pings). Conducting a detailed survey about such habits, Tecmark, a marketing agency, has revealed few interesting facts.

According to the report, users undertake, on an average, 221 tasks every day on their smart phones as compared to 140 tasks on a desktop or laptop. Furthermore, study reveals that smart phone users spend almost 3 hours 16 minutes of their time on phone performing different tasks.
