Android One-:The battle

The Smartest One: Android one

  • Always the latest version of android for 2 years.
  • Hardware designed so one can play,watch and work faster.
  • Google maps,Youtube and Google play,all built-in. 

Many companies has launched it including Micromax, Spice, Karbonn etc.
Micromax has launched Android one with Canvas A1.




Micromax canvas A1 features

  • Android Kitkat 4.4.4.
  • 1.3 GHz quad core Processor.
  • 11.43 cms IPS screen.
  • 5mp Rear and 2mp Front camera.

Some Attractive Features

  1. Amazon: over 1.7 crore products to choose from.
  2. Youtube: watch video and keep commenting anytime,anywhere.
  3. Social networking: Facebook,twitter preloaded app.
  4. Messaging: apps like whatsapp,Wechat,line.
  5. Gmail: free storage upto 15 GB

Introductory prices: Rs 6,499/- with 8GB memory card free.

The first of the Android One devices is here. And we have been lucky enough to get our hands on the Micromax Canvas A1, one of the three smartphones launched by Indian manufacturers on the new Google platform. Here is what we thought of the new phone.

Market:

Snap Deal
Amazon
Design: As far as looks go, the A1 looks like a lot of other Micromax phones in the same price bracket. The big difference is the detailing around the camera, a brushed metal right that looks quite classy. There is an Android One logo towards the lower end of the rear flap, and I guess we will have to get used to seeing this on more devices in the near future. The phone is slim in a sturdy sort of way and feels a bit heavy in your hands. It is thinner than the new Moto G for instance and that is a good place to be.Another interesting feature is the rear speaker grille, which is something I have not encountered recently.
Display: I was a bit put off when I heard FWVGA when this phone’s screen specifications were being announced. But the 854 x 480p IPS display is anything but disappointing, especially at this price. The colours are vibrant and the icons sharp. Reading is not at all an issue. The screen sort of blends into the black bezel at the top and bottom and this seems like a good way to hide the hard edges that dominate many screens of affordable smartphones. The screen has good viewing angles and it is not such a problem sing it in the sun.

Performance: This is what the Android One phones will be all about.  There is no doubt that the hardware and software are great. So there is not even a semblance of a hesitation when you flip through the homescreen, open new apps or switch from one to another. This feels good.
Software: The OS is the purest form of Android. So there is nothing new for users who know their way around Android. All the Google apps come pre-loaded and you will enjoy using Google Now and maps on this phone. I have never seen maps load so fast. Voice recognition also worked really well.

LEAP MOTION


Leap Motion, Inc. is an American company that manufactures and markets a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to a mouse, but requiring no hand contact or touching.
The Leap Motion controller is a small USB peripheral device which is designed to be placed on a physical desktop, facing upward. Using two monochromatic IR cameras and three infrared LEDs, the device observes a roughly hemispherical area, to a distance of about 1 meter (3 feet). The LEDs generate a 3D pattern of dots of IR light and the cameras generate almost 300 frames per second of reflected data, which is then sent through a USB cable to the host computer, where it is analyzed by the Leap Motion controller software using "complex math" in a way that has not been disclosed by the company, in some way synthesizing 3D position data by comparing the 2D frames generated by the two cameras.
Leap Motion Controller
The smaller observation area and higher resolution of the device differentiates the product from the Kinect, which is more suitable for whole-body tracking in a space the size of a living room.] In a demonstration to CNET, The Leap was shown to perform tasks such as navigating a website, using pinch-to-zoom gestures on maps, high-precision drawing, and manipulating complex 3D data visualizations.]Leap Motion CEO Michael Buckwald told CNET:
Leap Motion initially distributed thousands of units to developers who are interested in creating applications for the device. The Leap Motion controller was first shipped in July, 2013.

GOOGLE GLASS


Google Glass is an augmented-reality headset created by the search engine giant to work with your Android smartphone or iPhone through Bluetooth. It is voice-controlled and can be used using controls on the side of the device.
Initially a lab-based project Glass was designed as a way for users to be always connected to the internet even when they’re walking around.
To do this they came up with the idea of a completely integrated augmented-reality headset that would let you multi-task without hindering walking or movement.
With the Google Glass Explorer project now well underway we'll start seeing the smart glasses around more and more as Google signs up more testers to try them out.
The latest news is of course that Ray Ban has teamed up with Google and will be making their own unique versions of Google Glass, the partnership also means we could see Oakley sunglasses with Google Glass integrated.
For now though check out T3's take on what Google and Ray Ban could create when they launch their very own version of Google Glass.
Google Glass Ray Bans Concept:

Using Siri-esque voice control software users will be able to talk to Google Glass almost as though it were talking to a person with the glasses able to recognise a huge number of commands and requests.

Google Glass news

Of course the biggest news has to be that Google has singed a major deal with luxury glasses maker Luxottica which happens to own brands like Ray Ban, Oakleys and Vogue Eyewear.
What this means is that not only will you be able to pair your current Glass headset with special frames made by Ray Ban but that Ray Ban will also make their very own version with Google Glass built in.
Most recently Glass was given its first major rival in the form of Recon Instrument's Jet headset which was actually launched at Google I/O 2013 where developers had gathered to find out more about Google's digital ecosystem.
Google Glass has caused a stir in the United States where it is already looking to be banned for use while driving in a number of states.

Campaigners in the UK have also spoken out about the issues surrounding privacy suggesting that by having a camera that can be ‘always on’ Google is breaching privacy laws.

Google Glass specs

Google Glass is essentially a metallic frame with the hardware attached to the right-side. Despite the size of the the glass eyepiece and the input controller the whole unit weighs in at just 42g.
Google Glass has Bluetooth and WiFi, there has no confirmation however that there will be a Google Glass 3G instead it’s believed the headset will use data through your iPhone or smartphone.
It also comes with GPS to aid in location tracking and will sport touch controls on the device itself while a mic means it’ll be voice-controlled.
Google Glass has a 5MP camera, first demonstrated when Google’s Sergey Brin unveiled the Glass through a Google Hangout between himself and skydivers who were also using Glass headsets.
The Glass camera can shoot video up to 720p and then share that with either YouTube or to contacts via Google+ Hangouts. While we know the screen on Glass is capable of showing full colour images, maps and basic information there’s no word on an actual resolution of the display.
Google's own words are that this is a HD capable screen that will recreate an image to the equivalent size of 25-inches, while that's nothing on the Sony 3D Personal Viewer it's certainly impressive given its size.

Google Glass price

Google Glass has an official price tag of $1,500 (£992), this was set for competition winners who will be able to get Google Glass early.
It’s believed that a fully consumer-ready version will be available late 2013 or 2014 at a greatly-reduced price so it can compete with the smart watches that are reportedly set to appear later this year.

Google Glass release date

At present Glass has been released in an 'Explorer' version which has been built for competition winners and developers allowing them to work on building apps ready for the products eventual consumer release.
It’s then believed that a much cheaper version of Google Glass will become available with a projected release date of late 2013 or early 2014.

Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.
While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is considering partnerships with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Banor Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device.The Explorer Edition cannot be used by people who wear prescription glasses, but Google has confirmed that Glass will eventually work with frames and lenses that match the wearer's prescription; the glasses will be modular and therefore possibly attachable to normal prescription glasses.On 26 Jan 2014, Google announced that they were adding four prescription frame choices for about $225.00 U.S. It is necessary to remove a small screw in order to move the Google Glass from one frame to another.
Glass is being developed by Google X, which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a product manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on theautonomous car project.Google has patented the design of Project Glass.Thad Starner, an augmented reality expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.
