WiFi Tethering - Turn your phone into WiFi Hotspot [Android-iOS-Symbian]
WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) is a technology which allow connecting electronics devices such as PC, Smart Phone, Tablets etc wirelessly within a specific range.The most common use of WiFi is to connect WiFi enabled devices to internet via WiFi Hotspot(Access point).That means a WiFi enabled devices such as a laptop or a smartphone can connect to internet, if it is within the range of a WiFi hotspot.
What is WiFi Tethering or How to turn your phone into portable WiFi Hotspot?
Remember, if you turned on WiFi tethering in a public place, every people including strangers will have access to your phones hotspot. I suggest you to password protect your hotspot (this option is available in "Advanced Settings"), so that no strangers can access your hotspot.
- Go to the "Settings" from menu
- Choose "Wireless and Networks" -> "Tethering and Portable hotspot"
- Two Options will appear - "USB Tethering" and "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings", from which we select the second one.
- Press "OK".Then check "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot". Change the Configuration settings if you like so.
- That's all.Now your android is a portable WiFi hotspot!
Beginning from iOS 4.3, it officially support WiFi tethering. It is as simple as we enable it in android.
Steps to Enable WiFi Tether for iOS
- Open "Settings" from menu.
- Go to "General"->"Network"->"Personal Hotspot" and switch it on.
- Now you can connect any other devices to your hotspot.The default password for connection is abcdefgh
A premium version which can create secure hotspots with vpn support is also available there.

Cluzee & Vlingo - iPhone Siri Alternative for Android & Symbian
Siri is an innovative application offered by apple iPhone (beginning from iPhone 4S), which lets your phone to do things, by simply telling what to do. If you need to send a text to your friend, just tell it to Siri, it will automatically convert your voice to text and will send it.Siri uses most of the built in apps and let you operate them by voice.You can Search internet, Schedule meetings, Search for location,Directions, Traffic and much more things can be done by using your voice.The most surprising feature of iPhone Siri is that we can talk to it as simple as we would to a person.It not only understand "what you say", but also "what you mean".
Just tell Siri to "Wake me up at 7.00" or "Wake me in 7hrs", Siri will set the alarm for you.
Tell siri to "Find pizza" it will list all pizza places around you, and will suggest the most appropriate one, based on your location and time.
In short Siri is an intelligent partner who understand what you need, what you mean, and do it at the right time.
Cluzee - Siri alternative for Android
For the time being, what we can do is to find the most appropriate app which look alike Siri. Being the most popular mobile operating system with billions of apps downloads in each month, there should be at least one app which satisfy your quest.Yes it is the "Cluzee". Cluzee is the latest android app to fulfill the voice control gap in Android.You may download it for free from the android market. Its clear that Cluzee is not as god as Siri. Because the 'intelligence part' will not work as good as it works in Siri.
What Cluzee have is a list of pre-written commands which it can understand.We have to talk to Cluzee according to the pre-defined format of commands.Though we can do many things with Cluzee such as sending text, reading mail, notes management, personalized deal reports, to track your diet etc.
As a third party app, Cluzee will find it difficult to interact with the Calender and Contacts apps on the phone, though i am sure it will get better over time.So i suggest you, never leave your android simply because of Siri!

New Samsung Galaxy S III (S3) Specification and Concepts
simultaneous worldwide release for the Galaxy S III mid 2012.”
- The specifications for the SGSIII are of course subject to change, but are Samsung developed 2.0GHz quad-core CPU (no codename given), 1.5gb RAM, 32gb internal memory (with sd card slot), and a 4.65 inch screen. A new display called Super AMOLED III is being developed specifically for the phone (SGS had Super AMOLED, SGS II had Super AMOLED Plus, SGS III has Super AMOLED III) with 1280x1024 resolution, giving the phone a ppi of 352, which they emphasized that 352ppi will make it the highest ppi mobile phone.
- The reason for no demo phone was that the screen technology was still in the final stages of design and production of them have notstarted.
- The device is 9mm thick, has a metal and glass body (a really clean, shiny look to it in the pictures), has a 2250mAh battery, 10 megapixel camera and is capable of shooting 1080p video at 60 frames per second.
- The phone will come with an inbuilt NFC chip.
- The phone will have Androids latest Ice Cream Sandwich software and an all new TouchWiz 5 which has been in co-development with Google
during the development of the Galaxy Nexus, so according to the Samsung representatives, it isn’t as “intrusive to Android” as previous TouchWiz versions were. It seems TouchWiz will play a minor role and only have little improvements to ICS. It won’t control the user experience.
- One of the reasons why they’re not going with a full TouchWiz experience is for a few reasons, one being that the ICSexperience is very user friendly already and also it will also Samsung to update software on their phones at a faster rate than they have in the past.
- Price wasn’t revealed, but for all the specs of the phone, I’m guessing it’ll be very expensive!
