My TechLife

I have often seen, games are prepared as much as possible to give a real look. In many games, the animations are seen as if they aren’t animations but real videos.

Now, there is a famous game called Crysis. Everyone has surely heard this name. Now see this video by a player. A great ‘bug’ in the image. He has to fight with the sharks on land and even on climbing the mountains. They keep on chasing him everywhere. Check this out.

The video maker says, he hasn’t edited anything from the game. But still this is happening. Either this is a bug or a funny easter egg :-P. Whatever it is, some clarifications should be given or the bug corrected.

We would love to hear from our readers, who have also faced the same problem.

Apple’s products often make great hits. After all, they are something, that revolutionize. They deserve it. Apple’s iPod - its been one of the most revolutionary concept for music on the go.

The iPod, became so much popular, that Apple came out with newer versions of it, which were called the iPod Nano and even the iPod Shuffle.

Then came the iPhone!! It has been the most talked gadget in the last one year, with thousands of domains dedicated to it.

There are rumours around, that Apple is to come out with some newer versions of the iPhone.. with lots of integrated features. Are there really some Future iPhones coming up??? Let’s see what the rumours have with them. Here are a few pics of some iPhones.

I personally don’t think , anything such is coming out.. and even if it does, their chances of getting popularity are less. But, nothing can be predicted… Future is always uncertain.

While there are some people like me, who are still dreaming to own an iPhone, there are some who have been treating their iPhones very, very badly. I had even noticed a fund being raised by a person, to afford an iPhone. People were donating him, so that he could buy it.

People, who mistreat, destroy their iPhones, have been found posting videos, pics and even blogging their experience of destroying, breaking their iPhones. I found a place, where 5 videos of iPhone destruction have been shown. Here are screen shots from one of them.

Doesn’t that hurt??
Now, here’s a pic of a fully broken to pieces iPhone.

With so many pics of destroyed iPhones available around, I can make a whole gallery of destroyed iPhones. While if you visit iFixit here, they can ‘teach’ you how to ‘destroy’ (actually disassemble) an iPhone.

The guys at OnlyGizmos prove that iPhone is really very tough. They have pics of an iPhone dropped from a running train, an autorikshaw, while riding a bike … and probably more ways than what we can even think of. They call it the most battered iPhone.

Dropped even from a train.. must have been a really tough guy at heart.

But I am not.. sorry.. I can’t have it any more… My heart cries seeing this. Why don’t they better donate the iPhone to someone, than to destroy it. Not only the iPhone, anything else too.

P.S. : If you have been inspired by this post, to destroy your sweet little iPhone, do mind contacting me, by commenting here, to donate it to me. :)…

Here’s a real phone from Sony Ericsson. Its the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. This phone seems to be the ‘perfect’ phone, people have been waiting for. This phone has almost everything, that I think a phone should have.

Instead of reading my boring words, better have a look at the phone, which just fascinated me and me speech less.

Aren’t the looks cool?

For more images, visit this, there is also a video preview, worth watching.

What about its specifications?? Here are they, see this list, if it has anything missing out. It has a 3″ widescreen for watching videos, surfing etc.

The phone runs on Windows Mobile Professional 6.0, has both Touch Screen input as well as a QWERTY keyboard. The Touch screen is no simple one, but it has the touch sensitivity like that of iPhone or HTC Touch, which they call the XPERIAâ„¢ panel interface.

It has 3G for better browsing, 3.2 megapixel camera (with photo light), A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD — just 400MB on board.

A detailed list of specifications, can be found in here.

After reading all this, I don’t think, by any chance, this phone is gonna cost less than Rs 30,000 or $800. But, this price will be worth it. And iPhone- BEWARE, XPERIA is here.

Here is the first real look, I found of the gPhone. Actually, not the Gphone, but Google Android.
If you have forgotten this name, then, Google Android is the open - source mobile platform being designed by Google, in agreement, with a lot of other companies.

This phone seems to be the best competitor of the iPhone. Here we see (Andy Rubin Director of Mobile Platforms - Google) giving a demo of an unnamed Android Prototype. Running on 3G network powered by a 300MHz processor.

First Look:

* 300Mhz processor
* Trackball on the bottom
* 3G
* Really nice, browser.
* Touchscreen
* 3D graphics (video shows a demo of Quake!)
* For more, just see the video.
