Google announced the Nexus 4 by LG with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Google has officially unveiled the 4th Nexus phone succeeding over the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The LG made Nexus 4 is a beauty, the stunning design the phone bares and the same concept the the Galaxy Nexus started (thanks to Android) is the 2nd Nexus smartphone that has no buttons in its facade whatsoever. This announcement also confirms rumors that in fact LG is the next creator of the Nexus phone plus the Nexus 4 is the first quad-core phone that came out from this line of beautiful devices. The device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a newer version of Android that still carries the 4.1 JB stuff but took it to a whole new level.

Google unveiled Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Google has unveiled, well not really a major update, but Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It's like Android 4.1 JB but Google took the OS to a whole new level with 4.2 JB. This version of the OS runs on the new Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10. One of the major things that is added into 4.2, among others, is Photo Sphere (or an improved camera software) which allows users to take 360 degrees panoramic shots inspired by Google Maps' Street Views. But unlike other panoramic shots by other OS-es, Android's Photo Sphere takes shots up, down, left, and right. I don't know how that works but by how it sounds, is neat. You can check out some Photo Sphere photos taken by users here.

The world is ready for Windows 8

Yesterday, or 2 days ago, the world's largest software company launched and made Windows 8 available to the world with an event in New York. For those who are very eager to get Windows 8 into their PCs head over to http://microsoft.com to download it. The minimum requirements for the OS to work in a device is listed there. Of course, Windows 8 works best with a touchscreen PC but it should also work fine if it does not support the multi-touch functionality. I love Windows 8! And Microsoft will not just let the PC die just like that, hence, Windows 8. So yeah! Horay for Windows 8.

Asus Windows 8 line-up: Asus Zenbook Touch

Remember the Asus Zenbook? Today, Asus will be calling it the Asus Zenbook Touch. The reason for that, apparently, is the fact that it now runs on Windows 8. Asus has two versions of this notebook, the Zenbook U500VZ and the UX31A. The difference between the two is that the former is larger than the latter. The U500VZ sports a 15.6" display compared to the 13.3" of the UX31A. Since the 15-incher is larger, it packs more specs than the smaller Zenbook.
