Convert your Smart phone into a Wireless Router

Merry Xmas to All...

Okie, so here I am, to fulfill the promise that I made two articles back. I talked about converting your smart phone into a wireless router, so that you can use your mobile internet and share it on your laptop or tablet or even on other phone. So now if you are on move, you don’t have to worry. Simply set your mobile phone in a way that it works like a wireless router and use this to connect to the internet on any of your other devices. The only requirement is that your phone has to be having the Android 2.3 or later version OS or iPhone 4 or later. Menu name and screen may differ with different versions but you should find similar options to activate this. So are you ready to set this up?

iTunes – What’s so special about it?

Apple has launched iTunes in India last week, almost after 10 years of its launch in the US. So what can you get from iTunes? Why has Apple taken so much time to launch this service in India? What’s so special about it? And it has launched it in India after countries like Sri Lanka, Singapore, Thailand, etc. These are the few questions that you might be having in your mind. So let me try to answer them one by one.

What for whom

As we are going ahead in this fast moving gadget world, we are almost getting one new gadget per month. Every time any new gadget gets launched, we feel that it is perfect for my use and I should buy it. If you don’t feel this then there’s definitely something wrong with the marketing of that gadget. So I thought of writing this article so that it can help you in your decision making for the new gadget that you buy. In this article I will not talk about any particular brand or device but I have grouped the devices in more generic terms like smart phones, tablet, laptop, etc and I’ve categorized users, based on the requirements for gadget. So while you continue reading this article, try to recollect your requirements.

Windows 8 – All In One

Microsoft is in the mood of creating completely new things and closing the older strings. First they closed hotmail and created one of the most beautiful web mail called outlook.com. Now they have launched Windows 8, which they’ve built from scratch. No signs of any of it predecessor OS versions. What Microsoft has tried in Windows 8 is a common OS for all devices, be it your mobile phone tablet laptop or desktop. Windows 8 has been created keeping in mind the touch screen and various sizes of display. If Microsoft can really achieve this then it will be a great help to people like us who work on different devices as per our needs. If the same OS is installed across devices then connecting them would be hassle free. Also it will be very user friendly since you will see the same screen on all devices. But I am not sure how far can Microsoft go on this. Only time will tell.
So let’s see what is there in Windows 8 that is not there in earlier Windows versions.

Google Nexus 7 – Simply the Best

This is the second article I am writing on Google Nexus 7. That shows how much I am in love with this device. My earlier post is more of comparison between similar tablets. But this one is completely dedicated to Google Nexus 7. One thing I should admit that Google + ASUS has pulled out absolute gem of device. Many are feeling that the success of Google Nexus 7 is because of its price, but if you ask me it is a lesser point about Nexus 7’s success. The entire package is great and not just the price. So let’s go and check out Nexus 7 hands on.
