Big Data At Autodesk: Getting A 360-degree View Of Customers From The Cloud

Posted on by

The last few years have seen a huge paradigm shift for many software vendors. The move away from a product-based model towards software-as-a-service (SAAS) in the cloud has brought huge changes. Autodesk was one of the forerunners in the field, having been experimenting with cloud based SAAS as far back as 2001 when it acquired the Buzzsaw file sharing and synchronization service. Since then Microsoft, Adobe and many others have been moving into a subscription based, on-demand service, and Autodesk has done the same with its core computer aided design (CAD) products.

HTC One M8 will have to wait to see Sense 7 with Android M

Posted on by

HTC One M8 users, we have some bad news for you today. If you were hoping to land an update to Sense 7 to hold you over until Android M becomes available presumably sometime later this year, you’re out of luck.

According to HTC’s Mo Versi, Sense 7 on the HTC One M8 will be tied directly to Android M. Despite originally being promised in August, it looks like M8 owners will have to wait awhile. Currently, the HTC One M9 runs Sense 7 and Android 5.1. The update to Android 5.1 includes security enhancements and battery improvements, something One M8 owners will simply have to do without for now.

At a time when HTC is very publicly struggling, what fans the company has left are probably feeling pretty burned right about now. We don’t blame ya. Feel free to let it out in the comments below.

Samsung Gear A round smartwatch will be launched in three versions

Posted on by

Samsung’s first round smartwatch, which is hopefully going to be released by the end of this year, has been leaking for months. The Gear A was codenamed Orbis, and recently its features and specs have been made public. Samsung itself even confirmed certain details about it too.

That said, the Gear A is still not official. That may change soon, but in the meantime we’ve got some new information on it thanks to yet another leak.

This one says there will be at least three versions of the watch, boasting the model numbers SM-R720, SM-R730, and SM-R732, respectively. All of these apparently still have Orbis in their internal codenames. The SM-R720 is the Orbis 1, the SM-R730 is known inside Samsung as the Orbis S2, while the SM-R732 is the Orbis Classic.

It’s unclear at this point what the exact differences between these variants will be. Perhaps Samsung will go the way of Apple and launch the smartwatch with multiple material choices. There might also be connectivity differences, as we have previously heard that one iteration of the Gear A will come with mobile data support on top of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Gear A may be introduced to the world either during Samsung’s Unpacked event on August 13, or at IFA in Berlin in a few weeks. It’s been rumored to sport a 1.65-inch 360×360 Super AMOLED touchscreen, the Exynos 3472 chipset, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, NFC, a heart rate monitor, and a 250 mAh battery. It will run a special version of Tizen. It will use a rotating bezel for easy navigation through the…

Panasonic Eluga Icon lands in India on August 13

Posted on by

Panasonic has unveiled a new smartphone for India today, continuing a long line of Eluga-branded devices that have so far been launched in the subcontinent. The latest entrant in the series is the Eluga Icon, and it will become available on August 13, exclusively at Amazon India.

In line with Panasonic’s previous efforts in the country, the Eluga Icon is a mid-range offering. It comes with a 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, an 8 MP front-facing snapper, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and a 3,500 mAh battery.

It’s powered by the 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 chipset, boasting a 1.5 GHz octa-core CPU and Mali-T760 GPU. It has dual-SIM functionality and 4G LTE, but unfortunately runs Android 4.4 KitKat. On top of that you’ll find Panasonic’s Icon UI.

The handset will be priced at INR 10,999, which means about $172 or €156 right now. It will be offered in two color versions, slate and gold.

The Eluga Icon is 7.9mm thin, and sports a unibody construction. Its battery is very beefy for this price point, but the OS it comes with is rather ancient by mobile world standards.

Google is looking to reboot Android One with a new focus on extreme affordability

Posted on by

Google has always touted Android One as its way to get smartphones in the hands of the next billion connected users. With Android One, Google would bring smartphones to developing countries where they aren’t a necessity, and change that.

But it seems that somewhere in the process, Google lost sight of its goals. Selling $185 phones, only online, in a place like India where other smartphones can be had for much cheaper and where brick and mortar stores outsell online retailers 3 to 1, helped get Android One off to a bad start. Now Google is looking to change that.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Google’s managing director for Google South-East Asia and India, Rajan Anandan, said Google will be rebooting Android One with an emphasis on making phones even more affordable, and easier to buy. According to Anandan, Google is aiming to get Android One devices down to below $50, a price point Google calls the sweet-spot.

Google has been tweaking Android and its services to fit developing markets, now it’s time to see if it can really gain some traction in hardware. Unfortunately, that’s where the details on how Google will be rebooting Android One end for now, but be on the lookout for more information in the coming weeks.
