The Samsung Galaxy Note lauch event

Well it was a great day with food and champagne at the Battersea Power Station in London. Where the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note took place, not to mention the introduction of the Galaxy Nexus as well.

To start the event off there were some dancers you can see them in the image below.


After the dancers had done their thing the big man Mr JK Shin President of Samsung Mobile took to the stage to introduce what the night was all about.


And at the heart of the event was the Galaxy Note where we were introduced so its specifications and features. Some of the gestures you may have never have seen on a mobile device (I will be doing a short demo of these gestures in a YouTube video shortly).

After the Note was introduced and we found out that it would be available in stores on the 2nd of November in the UK and that there was another amazing device on show, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.


So the event was larger than we thought as it was the European launch of both the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Nexus, and after the presentation the real work began as the curtains on the side of the event moved away and the audience got the chance to look at and test the two devices.

So I took my position at one of the pods and started talking to media about the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Nexus. However there wasn't just the devices on show people could get drawings of themselves done by artists on the Galaxy Note.

As for my review of the Nexus you are going to have to wait a bit longer as I am still waiting on getting my hands on one somewhere quite so I can do a video review.

The impossible task Android doing iPhone

Image
Now every now and then I move between phones and most of the time (maybe 99%) I usually go between android devices. Last year I used a total of 13 phones in one year, a record for me and one I don't think I could ever beat. By use I mean USED put my sim card in and copied over my whatsapp messages and re-login to everything and use it as my daily driver. Sometimes the playing around would last 2 weeks and other times more, currently the phone I was using the Moto X held the record of 3 months if you include this January. One major reason for this is because as part of my job I need to know my way around all phones and how their UI and use cases differ. Within android all the different skins make each device different whereas the iPhone has stayed pretty static, even the recent update was more a lick of paint in my eyes than a complete rethink of iOS. The second is the fact that it is for me anyway really easy to move across between android devices, text messages, whatsapp, images...

My problem with the Apple Watch

Image
Right so we all know the Apple Watch is out now but I want to come at this from a geek with some nice watchs point of view. Before I start I want to say as much as I bash aspects of the Watch I will probably end up with one, this post is more about the cost of the straps than anything else. Below is a bit of a brain dump of thoughts I had this morning about it. About 12 years ago I inherited my dad's collection of watches. All of those watches are beautiful with a mixture of materials many are swiss made all of them items that I can keep and pass down to my kids one day. This has made me someone that can appreciate watches and the skill it takes to make them. I am also one of the few millennials that actually wears a watch mainly as a piece of jewelry than a timepiece. I am also a geek who wears ugly devices like the original Pebble every now and then and a nicer wrist watch for say going out to dinner or client meetings. From the watches that I have bought myself my daily...

What I learnt at Google I/O 2015

Image
The first day of Google I/O centred around the Internet of Things, the next billion and Google Now on tap (read my overview here). However, day two dived deeper into some extremely difficult hardware and software problems Google is trying to solve. Google’s ATAP (a division of Motorola that Google kept - and one of my personal favourites) is tackling some really interesting problems. This year they have made huge strides which will, I think, grab consumer attention - Project Soli and Jacquard - two advancements not just in technology but also material engineering and design... Project Soli Project Soli is truly amazing. It is a tiny sensor capable of 3D gesture recognition with sub-millimeter accuracy. As devices and screens are getting smaller it gets more difficult to accurately manipulate the content on them. This is where Soli comes in - it can detect your hand gestures and motion with startling accuracy allowing you to interact with a screen extremely precisely, without...
