SAN FRANCISCO: Apple is working on a cheaper version of its popular iPhone that could be released this year, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The device could resemble the existing iPhone, but might use less expensive materials, such as a shell made of polycarbonate plastic, according to the report, which cited anonymous sources.
Apple could decide not to move forward with the lower-end iPhone, the report noted.
The product would represent the first time Apple has diversified its line of smartphones with significantly different models since launching the original iPhone in 2007. The company faces pressure from rival smartphone-makers such as Samsung Electronics whose products use Google's
Android operating system. Apple declined to comment on the report. Shares of Apple, which closed Tuesday's regular trading session at $525.31, are down 25.5 per cent from their 52-week high of $705.07 in September.

Iphone 6?ios 7
The first signs of iOS 7 and the iPhone 6 have been popping up in app usage logs, according to The Next Web, who received word from unnamed developers. According to the sources, hardware is currently being tested by Apple showing an iPhone6,1 identifier, similar to the iPhone 5′s iPhone5,1 identifier. The device in question runs iOS 7.
The sources provided some developer logs, which show, among other things, an IP address from the Cupertino campus for app requests, indicating that the Apple posse is testing currently available apps for compatibility. Aside from these slivers of information from the usage logs, sources have stated that Apple will complete iOS 7′s features in the near future.
Back when developers first began seeing traces of iOS 6, it was unveiled at WWDC in June soon after. If the same pattern holds for iOS 7, we’ll likely get a look at it come the conference this summer, nearly exactly half a year from now.
Of course, there’s no proof that the supplied usage logs aren’t tweaked with fake info. Keep in mind that the information comes from potentially unreliable sources, and that nothing official has been confirmed. The Next Web states that it believes the logs are legitimate because of the IP, but until something more legitimate comes our ways, take it with a grain of salt.

Tab 2012
Tablets are the future of smart computing and in the year 2012 while the smartphones got bigger, the tablets got smaller this year. Here's a look at three 7-inch tablets that were the talk of 2012.
The Nexus 7: This Google tablet co-manufactured with Asus has a seven-inch screen, but don't let the size fool you. The tablet which was announced at Google's i/o conference in June, was the first 7-incher to house a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, which includes a 12-core GPU. Not only did it have speed, the device had price on its side as well. It costs only $200, though in India it was launched for Rs 19,999, which is a tad pricey but hey, it's still cheaper than the iPad mini.
The tablet also comes with the pure Google OS, Android Jelly Bean 4.1 ( at the time of the release) and this was upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.2 in November when Google launched the Nexus 10. So yes for Android fans who want the pure Google OS, this is the tablet to go for.
In terms of sales, the Nexus 7 did very well, despite the fact that only the 32GB version has cellular connectivity. According to Asus, Nexus 7 sales were close to 1 million a month. And the Nexus 7 feels lighter than the Kindle Fire and the soft, textured back makes the tablet comfortable to hold. Apps loaded quickly... The screen looks great, feels responsive, and the tablet already does a good job of demonstrating its power in games and movie performance.
Not only was it a fast tablet with a decent screen resolution (1280x800 pixels), and thus it set the bar for all the other tiny tablets.
The iPad mini:The big question with the iPad mini was always if Apple would launch a $200 device. Apple and cheap don't always feature in the same sentence and perhaps the biggest disappointment with the iPad mini was its price. The 16GB version with just Wi-Fi starts at a whopping $329 while 16GB version with Wi-Fi plus cellular connectivity starts at $429. In India the device launched at Rs 21,900 which is still cheap considering the new iPod Touch starts Rs 23,900.
But yes, the iPad mini does come withcellular connectivity and for those who want to stay connected at all times, this would have been the perfect choice. The iPad mini has ahas a dual-core A5 processor clocked at 1 GHZ, with a 7.9 inch screen (diagonally) and a screen resolution of 1024768 pixels, making it around 163 pixels per inch.
Remember it also comes witha 5 megapixel rear camera and a 1.2 megapixel front FaceTime Camera unlike.the Nexus 7 which doesn't have a rear camera. So for those who can't get through a day without clicking a picture, the iPad mini holds the edge.
Fortech reviewers, the screen was a big let down as far as the iPad mini was concerned. Admittedly it is a powerful device that runs smoothly without any lag, but for Apple fans who are used to 'Retina Display' the screen just didn't cut it.
But that didn't mean the device didn't do well. According to this report, Apple iPad mini sales exceeded expectations. Apple expects to ship nearly 8 million of these devices, which is still pretty high considering that a lot of people believe that the tablet is over-priced.
The Kindle Fire HD:After the launch of the Nexus 7 with its superior screen and processor, the question was whether Amazon could reply to Google's challenge. And it did. The Kindle Fire HD was launched in September. Amazon's new version of the 7-inch tablet now has an HD screen but the processor is still the dual-core one. So yes, images and videos were sharper, but in terms of speed and OS, Amazon's Kindle has a long way to go.
The Kindle Fire HD still does not support cellular connectivity and while it does run Android 4.0, it's still a watered-down version of the OS. Kindle Fire HD is being.
sold at $199, so in terms of price it is Nexus 7's biggest competitor.
For those who order a lot of content from Amazon such as books, movies, etc, the Kindle Fire HD is definitely a better option. However for tech critics, the Kindle Fire HD was a major disappointment.
Amazon is still the number 3 supplier for tablets worldwide and has a market share of 9 percent. The question is whether the next version of the Kindle Fire will offer something drastic to hold on to its position in this highly competitive segment.

Apple new smartphone watch?
According to Chinese gadget news site Tech.163, Apple may be in the process of developing its own smart watch that connects to your Apple devices via Bluetooth. Based on the report, Intel will be working with Apple to create the smart watch, with a 1.5-inch PMOLED display made by RiTDisplay with ITO-coated glass.
Apple has long had a small hold on the watch market thanks to its iPod nano, which is easily attached to a wrist band turning it into a full-functioning watch.
Recently, however, smart watches have grown increasingly popular. Sony, for instance, has a new offering called the Smart Watch, and we can’t forget how Pebble blew up Kickstarter with it’s e-paper Smart Watch that connects to iOS and Android devices.
Users are looking for more and more connectivity, and as it stands now, an iPod nano with no Bluetooth connection to a user’s phone or tablet is becoming less attractive.
Throughout the past year, there have been many questions over when and if Apple will join the Smart Watch race. Today marks one of the first semi-substantiated leaks.
However, I’m approaching this with a hefty helping of salt. Even if Apple is making a watch, it will be quite a while before we see any real evidence of it. Plus, there’s no proven market for smart watches yet, even with the success of Pebble and MetaWatch.
According to the source, Apple will launch this smart watch later next year.
Whether or not that’s true, this will likely excite multitudes of geeks who clearly see value in such a device, as proven by Pebble and others.
It won’t be revolutionary, per se — many have already entered the smart watch space — but Apple has a knack for making niche devices mainstream. Just take a look at tablets. Before the iPad, the main question on everyone’s mind was whether or not tablets would be used in everyday life.
If this rumor proves true, Apple is probably doing the same thing it did with tablets to the idea of the watch. Low-power Bluetooth 4.0 makes wearable connected tech more practical, and with Apple’s design touch and software ecosystem, a smart watch could appeal to more than just gadget geeks.

Xmas techs
Here r some great tech that you could probably use for gifting as Christmas presents or using it for yourself
Here you go
The GRIFFIN SURVIVOR CASE
It's just the perfect case to keep your phone safe,the complete hardcore,often also referred to as army case
Jensen jips 250i docking station
The perfect doc station for your iPad
Klipsch s4 earphones
With a nice design and a good sound quality and after having used it for more than a year i will surely recommend it to those who wants to just listen to music and get rid of the outside noise
Sennheiser rs 220
It's no doubly the beast of wireless music,there are no alternatives to this,the major drawback is that its too expensive but if you have the money than surely do not miss out on this,it's also bags the best wireless headset of this year
Ever since 2012, we've been excited to finally test the Sennheiser RS 220, a wireless headphone system intended for home use. No, this is not like a Bluetooth pair, designed to help you answer calls and listen to music without cables on-the-go. Instead, the RS 220 is a large, circumaural (over-the-ear) headphone pair that delivers pristine wireless audio from a variety of sources, such as your home theater's main output, your computer, or the direct output from a DVD or Blu-ray player. At $599.95 (list), it's debatable whether this could ever really be a practical purchase. But if you have the money and this is the way you'd like to spend it

Apple to unveil new iPad in March: Report
LONDON: Tech giant Apple is planning to launch a fifth generation tablet in March, a report has claimed.
According to Japanese tech blog Macotakara's inside source, the new iPad will look like the iPad Mini in design and detail and the dimensions of a slightly smaller iPad 2.
The new model, according to the blog, would feature the Retina display with the same resolution as the third and fourth-generation iPads.
According to the Daily Mail, these theories have been backed up by Digitimes and come from a source known for its accuracy regarding insider information about Apple products.
If they do prove to be true, it would suggest that Apple is stepping up its game and keeping ahead of the curve within the world of tablets, the paper said.
The current iPad measures 9.50in (241.2 m) by 7.31in (185.7mm) by 0.37in (9.4 m) and so according to the reports, the new one would be almost as thin as the iPad Mini at around 0.3in (7mm), the paper added.

Samsung galaxy Camera
Talk about tables being turned! The first step to integrating multimedia functions on a smartphone was enabling the handset to take pictures. Samsung is now playing the game the other way around. The new Samsung Galaxy Camera is a shooter, based on an Android platform that lets you do all that you do on a smartphone except making calls! Oh, the irony of it all!
We got our hands dirty with the pristine white Samsung Galaxy Camera. The camera looks slightly chunkier than the thinner point-and-shoot models that you see in stores these days.
Most of the ‘bulk’ of the all-plastic camera is attributed to the massive 4.77-inch screen which spans the entire back panel. A seamless fascia, the screen doubles up as a live view display as well as the interface medium for the user. The display supports HD resolutions of 720p and is a pretty bright and vivid screen to be using, almost on par with a good smartphone display.
By default, the home screen already had widgets – a couple of apps ready for you. Fans will be happy to know that Instagram rests right next to the camera icon on the homescreen, saving them the bother of downloading it from Google Play. Oh yes, the camera is Android-based hence you have access to all your favourite apps from the Google Play Store. Considering it’s a camera, you’ll need a bunch of photography related apps to get creative with, as you start taking pictures.
SHOOTING
The camera doesnt make you less than a professional,Swiping away from the home screen directly takes you to the capture mode. All settings are centered around a virtual click-wheel where you flip through the various modes. I could choose among three options depending on how much control I wanted over the shots. The Smart mode is the more interesting one where you have more than a handful of effects which kick into place before you take a picture. There are some common ones such as Continuous Mode, Panorama, Sunset and so on. But I had more fun with modes such as Beauty Face, Rich Tone and Silhouette. In the panorama mode, the stitches were easily visible despite holding the camera reasonably still while capturing the scene. The rich tone works well but you can always up the saturation after you’ve taken a pic so there’s no real need to activate it beforehand. We wish we were around a Waterfall or on a skateboard so we could try out the Waterfall and Action Freeze modes.
The camera has a cool and convenient pop-up button for the flash on the side. The camera is capable of 21x optical zoom and while that’s a big number, a lot of the detail was lost when we tried taking pics in full zoom. It has a dedicated toggle button on top of the camera so you don’t have to bother with a virtual zoom slide. Also, because it’s a little bulky, single-handed shots ended up being blurry most of the time.
The only mode in which the camera gives you complete control is the Expert Mode, and in doing that the Galaxy Camera comes close to emulating a DSLR. I could choose between three different priority modes – Aperture, Shutter Speed and Exposure. Thankfully the interface was not boring lines of text but an image of a lens with different stops etched on it.
APPS
The smart-camera comes with pre-loaded apps such as Google Local, Latitude and Google+. You also have Samsung’s proprietary S-Voice, Game Hub and ChatOn.
You can download many more from Google Play as and when you want to but do keep in mind that the camera comes with only 4GB of internal storage. It is, however, expandable up to 32 GB with an external memory card. You can also activate Dropbox which is already installed in the cam so your pics get stored in the Cloud after you click them.
Paper Artist and Photo Wizard are the two post-processing apps that are loaded on to the camera. Both offer a bunch of editing options and both are varied in how they post-process your pictures. I liked Photo Wizard a little better ‘cos the sketches in Paper Artist disguised the original ones more than I liked.
BATTERY LIFE
Unlike a regular digital camera, the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Camera is comparatively limited. Thanks to the Android platform and all the apps that come along with it, the camera’s hours are as good as any other big screen Android smartphone.
You can slot in a 3G-enabled micro-SIM card but remember you cannot make voice calls through the Galaxy Camera, unless you use Skype or something.
Another possible roadblock to keep in mind is that at times you might not be around a Wi-Fi connection. So, using the camera to upload photos over 3G, especially if you are on roaming, might end up with you having to pay huge bills.
Based solely on the image quality, there are options as good, if not better, than the Galaxy Camera for within the same price range.
VERDICT
The Samsung Galaxy Camera does a real good job of integrating ‘smart’ features into what would otherwise be a Plain Jane camera. But the question you have to ask yourself is whether you can / need to put the cam to good use. Clicking pics is fine, but will you also use it to reply to mails, play games or read an e-book? If yes, will a smartphone/tablet at the same price do a better job of it? If not, then will another digicam in the same price range offer a better sensor or features? The Samsung Galaxy Camera tries to give you the best of both worlds, it’s up to you to decide if you want to have your cake and eat it too!
