BlackBerry messenger, one of the most popular instant messaging services, had announced its arrival on iOS and Android platforms earlier, but it looks like manufacturers are already warming up to the concept of pre-loading it on their devices. Micromax is the one of the first manufacturers to announce that it will pre-load BBM on all of its Canvas Smartphones starting from the first week of October. But of course existing users too, can download the BBM app through the play store, irrespective of the device they own. It is well known that Micromax has its own instant messenger too, called HookUp, which is pre-installed on all Micromax devices, but this announcement might have just signaled the end of it. As it is, it wasn't used much, owing to the popularity of other messengers like Whatsapp, WeChat and Hike, but to know that BBM is now here, it might as well be the end of HookUp. On the announcement, Deepak Mehrotra, VP, Micromax says - We have built a strong mobile ecosystem for our users, which not only drives them to buy our products, but also builds a connection with the brand by massifying and democratizing technology in India.

ZTE, the Chinese company known for its communication infrastructure solutions and even smartphone products, is now the leading Data Card vendor in India, with a user base of 63.04% of the total Data Card users. The CyberMedia Research team had released these statistics for the Indian market in their website sometime back, where they actually noted a decline in the Data Card market from the previous year but compared to the last quarter, Q2 has seen a 66.7% growth and about 30.2% of all the new shipments are ZTE cards, according to the data. The Data Card market is considered a niche segment, and the decline during the last year is being attributed to the dwindling CDMA users but the GSM growth has spurted recently, negating the fall, according to CMR. It is also presumed that ZTE took complete advantage of the CDMA down turn, but introducing new 3G GSM cards. Overall, there are 1.8 million units estimated to have shipped in the this year, which is lesser than the 2.2 million the previous year.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 211 Unboxing

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 211 was launched in India a couple of months ago and we finally have it in our labs for testing. The updated version of the Galaxy Tab 2 311 has a new S3-inspired design and almost the same internals as before. The bezels have become shorter though, making it easier for one handed usage. Anyways, we put it in front of the camera to see what the box contents are and gave a quick hardware walkthrough on video, watch - httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naiqZJmm6yk Box Contents - As you can see in the above image, the box contents are pretty minimal for the phone/tablet. It does come with a travel power adapter and a micro USB cable but that's about it. No signs of earphones, which we think is really necessary for the oversized phone/tablet hybrid. The device as such remains almost the same as its predecessor, but it sports a new UI that matches up with the latest Galaxy devices rather than before, with its virtual shortcut buttons being out of place in the Samsung crowd. The 7 inch screen on the front sports the same 1024x600 resolution and the camera on the back is the same 3 megapixel unit. The new ...

It has been a tradition of iFixit, the immensely popular website known for its disassembling and assembling guides, to provide tear down images of Apple products as soon as they are launched. The Apple iPhone 5S is no exception and has received the tear down treatment from the website. The tear down has revealed some interesting details of the internal hardware that Apple never really reveals. The most important hardware addition to the iPhone 5S has been the fingerprint sensor. This is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, after getting taken out of the device. According to iFixit, the TouchID fingerprint sensor is - A CMOS chip, the Touch ID is essentially a bunch of very small capacitors that creates an "image" of the ridges on your finger. This CMOS chip stores the images locally so that the data is not being sent over the networks, for privacy concerns of course. Here is how it look, from the inside of the iPhone 5S - Another change Apple have done, although minor, is the camera unit. The above image shows off the camera unit, with the codename - DNL333 41WGRF 4W61W, which is purportedly a Sony sensor again. It has been already revealed that the 8 Megapixel Sony ...
