Five inches. It's a measurement that pretty much all Android flagships this year have attained as their screen size, from the mega-popular Samsung Galaxy S4 , waterproof Sony Xperia Z , budget Oppo Find 5, and even the HTC Butterfly (although not the One). This week, slides leaked that suggested that BlackBerry 's next big handset will also reach that impressive size. The phone's called the Blackberry A10 , and will reportedly be the first BlackBerry to include a five inch display, albeit it at a lesser 720p resolution than the Android phones we mentioned earlier. That's not all either. Changes on the inside are also on the cards, with a faster quad-core Snapdragon S4 Processor running at 1.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage plus microSD expansion. We're also expecting a much larger 2,800 mAh battery to keep things going. Connectivity is also fairly strong, with 4G LTE capabilities on top of WiFi N, NFC, Micro HDMI out and Micro USB for ch...

iOS 5 majorly harped on iCloud , a cloud based service of Apple which allowed users to save their contacts, files, pictures and other relevant information on their phone to iCloud. Ever since the launch of this service, iPhone , iPad and iPod Touch users have stopped worrying about losing their phone data anymore. Loosing phone contact for whatever reason can be quite frustrating for the users. After all Smartphone has become an integral component of an individual’s identity these days. Despite the existence of this service a lot of people don’t know how to sync and backup the contacts of their phones on the cloud service. Similarly, some users do not know the procedure of exporting contact from iCloud back to their phones. Therefore, the attempt of this write up is to acquaint users with both the processes. The first part of the write-up discusses on how to sync and backup the contact and the latter part will describe to method of exporting it back. Lets us begin with th...

Why do we need budgeting apps ? The most common reason new businesses fail is lack of planning. Bosses and employees may be passionate and industrious, but if they don’t have a set schedule of planned performance, they’ll basically be flying blind. These quarterly statements are called budgets and they generally include simple tables made up of numbers. Creating a budget gives management the ability to monitor progress against the stated or budgeted figures and goals. Every major corporation on Earth prepares a budget every three months (each quarter), and uses it as a guide to help them meet quarterly earnings. In the past, budgets for big companies took weeks, even months to prepare. But with help of technology, it is now possible to create an accurate, easy to understand budget plan in no time. This lets owners make decisions and manage their businesses based on budgeted figures, which may vary slightly from actual figures. In other words, it gives managers greater transparen...

All of Apple's products are the subject of rumour and speculation for the entirety of their life cycle, from the earliest speculative articles (e.g. iPhone 6 features on the day of the iPhone 5 release ), to blurry images and specification leaks for months before release, to last-minute feature inclusions right up to the launch itself. Judging by this week's leak, we're still only in the middle of that cycle for the fifth-generation full size iPad . According to schematic images published by NowhereElse.fr, the iPad 5 will be much thinner and lighter than its predecessor. It'll be 7.9 millimetres thick, making it a small amount thicker than the iPad Mini (7.2 mm) but much improved compared to the current generation (9.4 mm). The iPad 5 is also expected to be smaller in its other dimensions. According to calculations done by the French outlet, the iPad 5 will be only 232 millimetres wide and 178.5 millimetres tall - a good reduction compared to the iPad...

I've always been impressed by computers that embrace multi-functionality, like Asus Transformer Book Trio (which runs Windows 8 and Android on separate chipsets) and the Acer R7 (which has a unique 'ezel' hinge allowing it to be used at many different angles and modes). Samsung's Ativ Q , announced last week, may be the most impressive realisation of that concept in a long time, boasting the flexibility of the R7 combined with the dual OS setup of the Transformer Book Trio. So, where to begin? The Samsung Ativ Q is a dual-booting device that runs Windows 8 and a virtualised instance of Android 4.2.2 (which can be swapped to with a button). The device's hinge allows it to act as a traditional tablet or laptop, as well as floating above the keyboard or rotating all the way back to serve as a vertical stand. This flexibility is backed with some seriously impressive hardware. The highlight is the 13.3" display, which hits a mouthwatering 3200 x 1...

Is Visitprofit.com scam or legit? If you've landed on this page, you probably must have gotten a link from your friend or family on social networks like facebook , claiming that you can earn money online easily just by getting your link clicked by others. The link would have been something like- http://visitprofit.com/?ref=xxxx . The thing is the person who sent you the link wants you to register on the site so that he can "earn" a commission of $1 for each member he gets registered via his link bearing the referral id xxxx . I myself was very annoyed when my facebook newsfeed was filled with such links. So I decided to do a bit of investigation and conclude once and for all whether visitprofit.com is a legit way to make money online or just a scam. Firstly, the site is very new. It was started by late May 2013, yet the site says it's a large scale company started in 2010. Below is the entire information of the site from whois.net . Registrati...
