iOS 7 beats up on Android Windows Phone in user experience comparison
A new report by technology consultants Pfeiffer Consulting has found that iOS significantly outranks Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry phones in user experience satisfaction. Pfeiffer didnt want user "fan" bias entering into the equation, so the company only looked at "aspects that have a direct impact on the day-to-day user experience of an average, non-technical user."
The results show that Apples iOS 6 and iOS 7 best the other operating systems in all four main categories: cognitive load, efficiency, customization and user experience friction. The results, according to Pfeiffer:
The combined results of the four different benchmarks and evaluations give iOS 7 a clear advantage in terms of overall user experience, taking into account the context defined for these benchmarks: day-to-day user experience of an average, non-technical user.If youre interested in studies such as this, the entire report is worth a read. It also demonstrates more good news for Apple and its newest iOS version.

Fitbit Force Activity Tracking Wristband Launches with Built In Altimeter Phone Notifications for iOS 7
Fitbit today has launched its newest wearable activity tracking device, the Fitbit Force, reports AllThingsD. The Bluetooth 4.0 wristband includes all the features of the popular Fitbit Flex activity wristband that was launched in May of last year, and adds new features such as a built-in altimeter that measures workout data such as stairs climbed, a bigger OLED screen, watch capabilities, and an "Active Minutes" feature that tracks the varying levels of exercise.
A powerful Force for everyday fitness, this sleek wristband is with you all the time. Stay motivated to keep moving with real-time stats right on your wrist. Track steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, stairs climbed and active minutes throughout the day. At night, track your sleep and wake up silently with a vibrating alarm.
Soon after launch, Fitbit will release a software update that will allow iPhone users running iOS 7 to receive notifications about incoming calls (name and phone number) on the Force’s display. The wristband can also vibrate to alert you to a call.
Including this feature is sort of an experiment for Fitbit to gauge people’s interest in getting these types of alerts on a fitness-tracking device. Based on the reaction, the company will then decide whether adding other notifications for things like new text messages and email makes sense.
The Fitbit Force wristband can be ordered from the Fitbit web store for $129.95, with shipments beginning in 3-4 weeks.

How to earn money fast Build a Windows Phone app and get £60 000

With the Windows Phone ecosystem still struggling to gain a serious grip on the market, being dwarfed by iOS and Android, latest reports have claimed that Microsoft is giving developers up to $100,000 (£63,000) to get high-profile app developers to turn to the Windows platform.
Sadly, this isn’t everyone’s answer for how to make money fast. Microsoft is said to be saving the big bucks to target developers with a proven track record of crafting popular, profitable applications for rival platforms, namely those made by Apple and Google.
"My friends in Silicon Valley say Microsoft has been offering $100,000 or more to companies that will build Windows Phone apps,” a reporter for Bloomberg said in a recent article. They stressed that Microsoft has paid key name developers more than $100,000 to get them to develop for Windows Phone.
Although the Windows Phone platform now has more than 145,000 apps, it still lags a long way behind iOS and Android, both of which what are closing in on the 1 million apps milestone. What is more troubling for Microsoft, however, is the continuing lack of high-profile apps that are becoming something of a must have.
With Windows Phone still a system that is frequently overlooked by developers, earlier this year rival BlackBerry suggested that although it will be bringing its BBM system to iOS and Android in app form later this summer, Microsoft’s OS is still too small to be considered.
“When we look at critical masses and we look at other mobile platforms, iOS and Android at this point in time stand out to us,” Vivek Bhardwaj, Head of BlackBerry’s Software Portfolio, told us. “We are not excluding other platforms, it is just our focus needs to be on those that can get BBM to the masses and the data shows that iOS and Android make up the bulk of mobile users around the world.”

HTC Desire 510 affordable 64 bit 4G phone announced

The HTC Desire 510 comes with a 4.7-inch display, which will soon be all the rage in the high-end smartphone market (thanks to the iPhone 6), and an 854 x 480 resolution that definitely wont be.
While the Desire 510 is powered by a seemingly low-end 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor, this is actually Qualcomms first 64-bit chip. In other words, it might not ever be the fastest CPU on the market, but its one of the more future proof.
Elsewhere the HTC Desire 510 has 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot for expansion purposes. Around back theres a 5-megapixel camera, while your selfie/video call (delete according to age) needs are taken care of by a 0.3-megapixel camera.
Its a fairly chunky phone for the specs, with a 9.99mm-thick polycarbonate body that weighs in at 158g.
Theres a 2,100mAh battery on board, and the Desire 510 will ship with Android 4.4 KitKat and HTCs Sense 6 UI. As noted, it will also support 4G LTE networks for super-fast data speeds.
"The industry has been talking about the 4G effect for so long now that it’s easy to forget that only a small selection of top-end devices are taking advantage of the technology," says HTC CEO Peter Chou. The HTC Desire 510 is designed to offer the benefits of 4G to those with lower budgets.
The HTC Desire 510 will be available in two colours: Terra White and Meridian Grey, and itll also come with its own HTC Dot View case. Theres no news on pricing or release date as yet, but HTC has confirmed that its coming to Europe, Asia, and the US.
Its recently been rumoured that HTC could have another 64-bit Desire phone on display at IFA 2014 next week. The HTC Desire 820, as its being dubbed, should provide slightly higher specs than the Desire 510 for a mid-range price tag.

Microsoft Windows Phone 8 1 Denim update to ‘roll out soon’

The firm’s Lumia Twitter page responded to a fan that enquired as to why the update still hadn’t landed, despite promises for a Q4 2014 launch.
The post read: “It will roll out soon following testing and operator approvals.”
New features expected to ship with the software update include improved Cortana functionality, as well as 4K video support.
There’s no telling when Microsoft is actually going to release the update however, with the ‘roll out soon’ tip frustratingly vague.
Whatever the case, the Windows Phone moniker for Microsoft’s mobile operating system is running out of time.
At an unspecified time next year, Microsoft plans to drop Windows Phone entirely, instead opting for the Windows 10 tag across all platforms.
Microsoft’s platform-unified Windows 10 will bring a one-for-all app store and better cross-device functionality.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know when the big Windows 10 change-up will happen either, although we’re expecting a pseudo-unveiling at Microsoft’s Build conference in the middle of 2015.
Other features of the new unified OS include desktop-friendly Cortana and the return of the Smart Menu.

Mysterious Jiayu Ultra Budget Phone is spotted scoring 16000 on Antutu

JiaYu mysterious device has been spotted scoring an honorable score on Antutu : 16000 which is on par with its direct challengers, especially the XiaoMi HongMi (Red Rice).
So far, what we know after those leaked photos :
- Very compact phones (those who wanted one will love this) : 125 x 62 x 9.9 mm
- 4.3" HD Display : 1280 x 720 pixels, 341 ppi
- Quad Core SoC at 1.3 GHz MT6582
- 8 MP rear Camera
- 2200 mAh Battery
- OTG and dedicated audio processor
- Dual Sim TD-SCDMA (for China Mobile 3G only)
But in this case, because the Jiayu chose to use the MT6582 which supports natively TD-SCDMA and WCDMA, a WCDMA international version should follow the original one very soon.
Oh, and I kept the best part for the end, the smartphone will be launched at a staggering price of RMB 700 ($114) which is RMB 99 less than the Red Rice.
