Whatsapp with new Voice Messaging Feature

I think every one of us knows that whatsapp has already granted us the opportunity to share pictures, audio and videos from our memory cards but they have come again with Voice messaging...

WeChat a new chatting application just like Whatsapp but with Video and voice messaging inbuilt as recently been growing rapidly, challenging whatsapp in the process... I guess this has inspired whatsapp to come up with theirs in other to stay in the competition and in the market.

I have tried out this new cool feature on my Tecno D3 android smartphone and i must tell you, its #Dope... You see the  mike on the side of the messagebox so you can just tap it to start recording.. The UI is pretty cool...

On Java phones, you can now record audio live from your menu... Enjoy!

BlackBerry Q5 review

BlackBerry’s Q5 is the first mid-priced phone from the company using the new BB10 operating system. It’s a return to what’s become the company’s core market – affordable, rugged and with a keyboard.

Indeed, anyone familiar with BlackBerry’s usual work will probably be impressed with the Q5 initially – build quality is clearly much improved, at least in the test units sent to journalists, and the device, even though it’s all plastic, is a decent size that still isn’t too big. It doesn’t feel as premium as the more expensive Q10, with its Kevlar-like back, but this is a slightly cheaper device, starting at around £25 per month.

With the screen shrunk to 3.1” to make room for the physical keyboard, it won’t drain the battery in the same way that proves a problem for full touchscreen devices. The problems, however, are more in strategy than in execution: if you believe there’s an army of cost-conscious BlackBerry users who are wedded to the platform and waiting for the new OS, then the Q5 is the device that will save the company. If you believe, alternatively, that most BB users are either business people who have already moved on or for who cost isn’t the overrirding issue, then the Q5 seems to rather miss the point. The more premium Q10, it seems, has sold moderately well, but failed to stem the decline.

The Q5 does, at least, feature all the excellent points of the BB10 OS – combined inboxes for LinkedIn, Twitter, email, Facebook and more, plus the ‘Peek and Flow’ idea that makes everything easy to find and the ‘Balance’ system that lets users switch easily between work and personal modes. But if these are your priorities, the Q10, for only slightly more money when it’s being discounted, seems to be a better bet. And the Q5 doesn’t feature the removable battery that so many BlackBerry fans adore. You’ll need to keep this one charged up, and I wouldn’t advise risking that for more than 10 hours.
So the Q5 suffers from all the compromises inherent in a mid-range device – a 5MP camera that is adequate rather than brilliant and a 1.2GHz processor, for instance, and also from the problems BlackBerry is currently suffering. So there are limited apps, and the BBM messaging system will soon be available elsewhere, where previously it was unique to BlackBerry.

If you’re determined to buy a BlackBerry, with a keyboard, but don’t want to break the bank for a Q10, buy a Q5. But if you’re simply after a phone for a reasonable price, hunt around and you can easily find a Samsung Galaxy S3 or an iPhone 4S for prices that aren’t too dissimilar.

WhatsApp now Free on iOS Devices

After offering its services to Android devices completely free of cost, messaging service WhatsApp has now been rolled out as a free app for iOS devices as well.
The application used to initially set back iOS users by about $0.99 on download but users can now avail it services for free for the first one year, post which the brand will start charging its users around 65p ($1) per year.
The same condition reportedly applied even for the Android devices but its renewal was automatic and very few users are said to have paid for it.

Along with making the app free for iOS devices, Whatsapp has also brought along some updates that includes the ability to share multiple photos and back up chats on iCloud. The company will also introduce some more features like push-to-talk which will be soon released.
Apple listed the application as the 6th most popular paid application, which also added to the revenue of the App Store as it was the most downloaded messaging app, reported CNet. .
The messaging app has evidently made it easier for people to text and apps like WhatsApp and Viber have completely taken over text messaging.
WhatsApp faced competition with the upcoming messaging applications but none could take its place. It has been a very popular mobile messaging application since its inception in 2009 and currently boasts of over 250 million monthly active users with around 27 billion messages exchanged each day, leaving even the most popular micro blogging site Twitter behind. It raised about $8 million from blue-chip venture capital firm Sequoia Capital and from firms in 2011.
Whatsapp is also known to be one of the messaging applications, which doesn't make revenues by serving ads to users. "We do have a manifesto opposing advertising. We're proud of that. Who likes advertising," Jan Koum CEO of Whatsapp told Forbes.
The messaging application now has a new competitor, WeChat, which has roped on footballer Lionel Messi as its brand ambassador.

BlackBerry A10 Specs Reportedly Leaked

So far, we've only had furtive glances of the rumored BlackBerry A10 through basic specs and a short video. However, CrackBerry forum member nereuszeer may have given us much more insight by posting what appears to be a presentation slide with most of the A10's details. If accurate, they suggest that the 5-inch, 720p OLED screen wouldn't be the only standout feature -- there's also a much larger 2,800mAh battery and a slightly faster 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro. The phone wouldn't otherwise represent a big break from the Z10, although the leak hints at both a preloaded instance of BlackBerry 10.2 and a thicker Verizon variant. When the slide reportedly dates back to May, there's a chance the hardware could change before release. Still, don't be surprised if this ultimately represents BlackBerry's fall flagship.
