This is the easiest way to transfer media files from a smartphone/tablet to computer

Just the other day, SanDisk unveiled a neat little device that will make moving of media files from a smartphone or tablet to computer as seamless as possible. The SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive comes with a regular USB port on one hand, and a microUSB one – on the other. So when you want to move some files from your mobile device, simply connect the SanDisk’s device to a microUSB port and copy all the photos and videos you want. Then, connect the same device using a regular USB port to a computer and make a local copy of those files. Pretty easy, right? The best part is that the drive’s dual USB ports feature a retractable cover, meaning no caps to lose while still keeping the connectors safe. Yeah, I know – you could rely on some cloud-based storage service to accomplish the same thing, but this is much faster. Or so I think. The only problem is – whether you want to buy yet another device. If you do want it, you can get it in capacities ranging from 16GB to 64GB. The entry-level mode...

Video: Hot rods, hot chick, Drag Race: Nokia Lumia Icon Vs. Samsung Galaxy S4

As part of the Nokia Lumia Icon launch, NokiaUS have released a video that compares the Samsung Galaxy SIV audio against that from the quadmic Rich Recording Nokia Lumia Icon. Note how the video quality looks in the Nokia Lumia Icon. It appears to have gone back to the ‘Purer’ more natural colours vs the high saturation we’re used to with Lumia and other competitors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMT442XIfjo Just the Icon audio.

Video Promo: Make the moment iconic

Another promo for the Nokia Lumia Icon that’s just been launched today. It’s looking rather slick in the video (device wise) though the promo itself could look a little more than college project MyFirstCGI. New Nokia Lumia Icon captures life’s special moments, big and small, and plays them back like never before. Category : Lumia, Nokia, Windows Phone Hey, thanks for reading my post.

Video & Gallery: Nokia Lumia 1320 Unboxing and Impressions

Along with the super-specced and super-large Lumia 1520 comes a second phablet, one that’s a bit more reasonable in terms of specs; making it more affordable, the Nokia Lumia 1320. This is our unboxing. The Lumia 1320, similar to the 1520 is a 6? beast, with a 720 p display instead of the Full HD 1080p one in the 1520, the 1320 clocks out with a ppi of 245, which is acceptable for the intended price-range of the device. The screen is an LCD IPS Gorilla glass 3 display, with Nokia’s amazing Clear Black display, meaning what it lacks in pixels it makes up for in actual display quality.  Inside the Lumia 1320 is well equipped to deal with the featherweight requests of Windows Phone, with a Dual core 1.7 Ghz Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 Gb of ram it essentially has the same processor as the Lumia 920 (which has a 1.5 GHz S4).  The 1320 has pretty much the same size and dimensions as the 1520, also sharing the same weight range (220 grams), meaning if you’re comfortable with one, you’ll ...
