In June 2011 my girlfriend gave as a birthday present an iPod Nano sixth-generation. I loved it. It was a nice iPod with FM Radio and the most important side of it (at least for me) she also gave me an iWatchZ wrist band so I could use it as a watch!
For some reason Apple didnt like the idea of people wearing the tinniest iPod as a watch because the new seventh-generation of iPod Nano announced on Sept. 12 2012, is larger, impossible to use as one…

Jimmy Kimmel the well known comedian and actor wanted to do a little experiment and his production went out to the street showing several people the new iPhone 5 while in fact it was the iPhone 4S, its quite interesting their comments, take a look to the video:
Finally the iPhone 5 has been officially announced by Apple. Its thinner, lighter, has a better camera, better processor, and bigger screen. It now has LTE (high speed mobile network capability which depends on the carrier to have it available, of course), better Wi-Fi, and comes with iOS 6, that’s it.
At first I was having kind of a sensation of disappointment on Apple, and then, talking with a friend, he said something very certain “In the end it´s just a phone”…

Everywhere you search on Google says website localization is a good thing, well, it is, if done right. Otherwise it could result into a terrible mistake, and here is why.
About 4 months ago I moved to Switzerland, as you might know the three official languages are German (63.7%), French (20.4%) and Italian (6.5%). Actually there is a fourth official language which is Romansh but only 0.5% of the population speaks it. Entering a website from within Switzerland will “turn on” localization services for a lot of sites, offering content in only the official languages, and this is a mistake.
Today I was reading an article on Gizmodo about the problematic situation of 3G/4G abonements. More and more devices you use will offer a better and more complete experience with Internet connectivity on the go (mobile).
Yesterday the Samsung Camera device was presented in Berlin IFA 2012, and together with a compact camera you have an Android device with mobile wireless connectivity to upload pictures and videos to Dropbox and other services. The problem? How many mobile subscriptions are you willing to pay for all your gadgets?
I was thinking about a way to solve this, for carriers to offer a bit better service to the people and not behaving as “Dracula” 😛
Although a workaround would be to have a MiFi device that would allow to instantly put up a hotspot to connect several of your devices, the idea is not to depend on one centralized device itself but on each device, independently.
What if providers could offer a Mobile Data plan of X amount of GB´s per month for up to 5 devices (for example) at a fair price?…
