iWatch – Spotted in wild

Apple watch (or iWatch) is probably just a month away from being released and available to masses rather classes. But there have been rumors going around that apple employees are already using the watch from last few months. And today I can say that those rumors were true as I did see a guy wearing the watch on my usual weekly flight.

Below are probably the first real world pictures of Apple Watch. I tried to ask some close ended questions to the guy wearing it but he had only one answer to all my questions ‘Perhaps’; like Is this Apple Watch? Do you work for Apple? Is it waterproof? Does it have heart rate monitor?.

So I know there are not many details other than just pictures to share at this time but if I see him on my return flight I am going to grill him again 🙂

For now let me know what you all think about how the watch looks !!!

Best Console Games of 2014

2014 was the full first year that new gen consoles got to showcase capabilities in terms of graphics and processing power. Though several titles got pushed to 2015 but still we had decent line-up of games in 2014 and that ultimately kept gamers busy.

Hercules of (Android) Phones – Saygus V2 with 320GB Memory

Yes I am talking about a phone here and not a tablet or a laptop. Saygus V2 was on display in CES 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before today like most of you I did not hear about this company or the brand. Saygus is a start-up from Utah and V2 phone appears to be built in US, just like recent Motorola phones. Now let’s talk about the phone itself –

Why I sold my PS Vita?

When PS Vita was released 2 years back in 2012 I was excited. I always wanted a portable gaming console that I can take with me on flights (I am a frequent flyer due to the nature of my job) and also I can use it in home to play PS3 (now PS4 games) when the living room TV is occupied to watch cable / Netflix etc.

Tablets and smartphones did not serve that purpose fully for several reasons:-

• No remote play until now (Sony Z3 phones and tablets now support remote play)
• These devices do not have dedicated buttons like Vita or 3DS or 2DS.
• Not for serious gaming like Borderlands, Uncharted.
• Did not want to be in a situation where my phone had (near) zero battery when I land.

Motorola Droid Turbo – Undeniably Best Battery Life

Motorola is having a great run this year with

• Moto X (2014) – flagship phone with larger and better screen and camera
• Moto G (2014) – budget phone with decent screen and specs
• Moto 360 – round smart watch with good battery life (after recent update), and

the latest addition to it’s lineup is ‘Droid Turbo’ – a phone with eternal battery life. You cannot really go run with any of the above choices.
