Excerpt Reviews

"Each effect—vignetting, tweaking exposure and white balance and so much more—is a layer and you can re-arrange them to see how the picture changes, delete them to see how it looks without the effect and do whatever the heck you want." – Gizmodo

“… a more streamlined alternative to PhotoForge and other image editors I've tried on iOS, offering an interesting set of effects, presets and basic versioning system that makes it easy to import photos from a device's camera roll, and start editing in a focused space right away.” – MacStories

"I like Luminance because it pushes the editing envelope…” – The Unofficial Apple Weblog

I have come across this very interesting YouTube video that deals with the concept and expected features of Apple's fifth generation of iPhone. The video is developed by Aatma Studio in United States, editing in this video is terrific, they have tried to focus on three major advancements in iPhone 5 – ultrathin design, laser keyboard and holographic display.

Enjoy the video.

I don't think iPhone 5 would have any of these features. It would be slim and lightweight but not like the iPhone displayed in this video.

Posted: 29 Aug 2011 09:50 AM PDT

According to the latest trends, Technology and Gadgets market is getting very clustered with new gadgets emerging every other day. Not all gadgets are good enough for your money and therefore today I am going to share with 5 upcoming gadgets for which you should start saving money from this very day because they are going to freaking awesome!

#5 Vizio XVT3D6SP Series TVs

In past one year, several companies have launched Smart TVs that come with Internet, YouTube, Skype, Facebook, Twitter and several other services but these XVT3D6SP Series TVs from Vizio are the next breed of Smart Televisions.

Launched back in CES 2011, XVT3D6SP Series TVs have almost everything that you feel a Television should have, a Television could have. Along with Internet Services mentioned above it has passive 3D technology, LED backlighting, integration with new Android Tablets and Smartphones from Vizio and it is the first Television in the whole world to incorporate OnLive Gaming.

If you are planning to upgrade from a standalone Televsion set to a Smarter one – Vizio XVT3D6SP Series TVs is your best bet.

#4 Sony PlayStation Vita

Sony's last Portable Gaming console – PlayStation Go was not able to perform the way Sony had expected it to and therefore Sony is going to launch the next generation of Portable Gaming Console – PlayStation Vita by the end of year or in the first quarter next year.

Sony PS Vita would have loads of new Features like better graphics, 3G support, dual cameras, dual joystick, 5"OLED screen, extra-sensitive touchpad and full body navigation control which means you can control your character in the game by moving the console itself.

You can also check the detailed tech specs of PS Vita earlier blogged on Wizard Journal.

#3 Samsung Nexus Prime

Earlier this month, I had blogged that Google is going to release the third generation of Nexus Smartphone manufactured by Samsung called Nexus Prime. Earlier this month, Google also purchased Motorola Mobility which made me feel that the next generation of Nexus Smartphone would be manufactured by Motorola but I was wrong. According to the latest inside news, Nexus Prime is manufactured by Samsung and would stomp the markets later this year.

As everybody knows, it would sport the latest version of Google's Operating System – Android v2.4/4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Along with that, it would be a full touch enabled Smartphone, no physical keys, and a display resolution of 720p which is massive for a Smartphone.

#2 Amazon Tablet PCs

Amazon is already the king of eReader category with its ultra popular – Kindle Device. Now it seems, Amazon is trying to enter the Tablet PC market with a 10-incher and 7-incher Android Tab. The tablet is expected to launch by the end of this year, how successful it would be, that would depend upon the hardware as well as the services Amazon offers.

As of now, it seems Amazon would pack its Tablet PCs with Amazon Kindle Store, Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Audio, everything free for Amazon Prime member.

#1 Apple iPhone 5

The first spot in any list whatsoever is reserved for the "fruit company" that made Isaac Newton derive those 3 laws which have given sleepless nights to Scientists and Engineers around the globe for centuries.

As rumored, Apple is planning to announce iPhone 5 late September or early October, also, some rumors about its technical specs have also popped up.

It is rumored to have a 8MP rear camera that would support Full HD 1080p video recording, an edge-to-edge large display, thinner and slimmer design, Ultra fast A5 dual core processor, all new slim, sexy and curvaceous body design, iOS 5 operating system and iCloud support.

It doesn't really matter what iPhone 5 has to offer, Apple is a name that sells for itself, it is royal tag and therefore it going to attract people in masses. We would just have to wait for the "number" that would represent the count of people who lined up at Apple Stores on the release date of iPhone 5.
