Apple iPhone 5c Dock Unboxing

apple-iphone-5c-dock-6

Every iPhone needs its own dock, that’s Apple’s mandate and the newly launched iPhone 5c is no exception. But there are a couple of reasons why there’s a new dock for the iPhone 5c, which is seemingly just a plastic shell with the same internals as the 5. Well, technically yes and I have answered the question right there. It’s a new plastic shell and with difference in build comes difference in thickness and weight. But the thickness is more of the concern here. While you might be able to use the iPhone 5’s dock for the 5S, it is impossible to do so for the 5c, and hence why we picked one up from Hong Kong for our blue iPhone 5c. Take a look at the unboxing and hands on video here –

Half of the Angry Birds games go free for Windows Phone 8

Angry Birds Star Wars II

Angry Birds has been a longstanding mega hit gaming franchise from Rovio and usually, a copy sells for 99 cents, or 55 Indian rupees, in the local currency. There was a time when the original game went free for a while, as a part of Nokia’s promotion, but suddenly now, half of the collection has gone free. We are not sure if this is a store glitch or something, but exactly half of the Angry Birds collection has gone free in the Indian Windows Phone 8 Store. The games that have gone free are – Original Angry Birds, Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II, while the Seasons, Rio and Space are still showing as paid.

Nokia Lumia 2520 Power Keyboard Hands On

nokia-lumia-2520-photos-17

The Nokia World event has seen to the introduction of the new Lumia 2520 Windows tablet from the company, restarting its good old Booklet 3G tradition. While the Booklet 3g was a note book, the 2520 is far from it. It is a full touch device, conforming to the demands of today, but of course, you can do work on the 2520 using the pre-installed office suite, but that would be a waste if there is no keyboard/mouse combo. Nokia knows that, and has seen the popularity of the Microsoft Surface accessories, so it has launched a really versatile accessory called the Power Keyboard, which adds a keyboard, a trackpad, complete protection for the tablet in the form of a folio and a battery that can provide 5 extra hours over the original battery life. Intrigued enough? Watch our hands on video to find out more about the cover as well a decent overview of the tablet itself –

Grand Theft Auto: Truck carrying 22,500 LG G2 Smartphones stolen in Indiana

LG-G2-Unboxing-2

“Bring me the LG G2, a truck load.” said Mrs. Phillips, and Trevor did, only to return and find his mom missing. But that was in a weird alternate reality gaming universe where “Deludamol” was called LG G2. But in reality, a bizarre incident reveals its similarities with the former, where not one, not two, but a truck, full of LG G2 Smartphones(total 22,500), has been stolen in Indiana, USA. CNet reports that the theft happened when the truck driver, who was on his way to one of the Sprint distribution centers in Kentucky, was taking a bathroom break. Seemingly confirmed by a LG spokesperson, the damage due to this theft is roughly around 12 million USD. That’s a lot of money.
