SuperGrip car mount review

As turn by turn navigation becomes a standard feature on more and more phones, there is a growing demand for accessories like car mounts to safely and securely attach a phone to the car.   The SuperGrip is one such mount which comes in a fairly small package but is surprisingly solid. Read on for the complete review.

While there are a lot of car mounts out there, the experience is generally a mixed bag in terms of surfaces it can be mounted on or the grip on the phone.

SuperGrip seems to have a great solution as by using a suction based technology, they can ensure a good grip on almost any surface. In our experience we were able to successfully attach it to both a car dashboard and the windscreen.

The design of the SuperGrip car mount is quite stylish consisting of two pieces held together by a flexible ball and socket joint. The bottom suction piece is responsible for keeping it attached to the surface of whatever you mount it to.

The grip holder extends like a claw and is designed to hold devices up to 5 inches in width so should work with most smartphones out there. A soft rubber material protects your gadgets from getting scratched. The ball and socket joint allows the grip holder to be rotated to suit your viewing angle though we would have liked a bit more flexibility.

We tested it out with an iPhone 4S, Nokia 808 and a Galaxy S3 and in all three cases, the mount retained a good grip both on the handset and also to the windscreen. Once mounted, it is easily possible to shift the device from portrait to landscape mode and vice-versa. Having used it over the course of almost 3 weeks, we’d definitely recommend the SuperGrip car mount to everyone looking for an affordable mount which actually works. The SuperGrip car mount is available for Rs. 1,550.

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

RSSRadio allows users to subscribe, download and listen to podcasts on both the iPhone and iPad. “With the recent release of Apples “Podcasts” application the bar has been raised for look and feel in these kind of apps and its harder to stand out from the crowd” says Daniel Broad, owner of Dorada Software.

Android apps coming to Windows Phones?

There’s a weird rumor going around the Interwebs, suggesting that Microsoft may allow Android apps to run on Windows Phones. Something like that would quickly increase the app count for Microsoft’s mobile platform, but there are downsides as well. For one thing, this could entice developers to skip “regular” native development for Windows Phone. It’s a tricky choice. On one hand, the Redmond giant could benefit in the short term to have all those Android apps and games available on Windows Phone handsets. On the other hand, they could pretty much face extinction from the mobile game, with Windows Phone pretty much turning into yet another Android launcher. So no, we don’t think Microsoft will allow this to happen. At the same time, it may not stop other companies from pursuing this opportunity. Think BlueStacks, the company that already allows Android apps to run on Windows computers. Perhaps these same guys/gals can enable the same functionality on Windows Phones. We doubt the Redmon...
