Pixel C , Its game on for Google !

Google Pixel C tablet


Google is making its own Android tablet called the Pixel C, its second wholly Google-made machine after the Chromebook Pixel.


The 10in Pixel C will have a high resolution screen, a metal body, and will resemble the Chromebook Pixel with a multi-coloured bar light on the back.
The tablet will also have a keyboard accessory that docks with the tablet and holds it like a laptop.
The Pixel C has a USB-C port for charging – the same one used on the Chromebook Pixel and Google’s latest Nexus smartphones – but is not designed to replace Chromebooks, according to Google.

           The BIG Question - Is The Nexus tablets dead?

The new tablet, briefly shown off at Google’s Nexus and Chromecast launch event in San Francisco, marks a departure from the partner-based model used by Google before with its Nexus tablets.
The first Nexus tablet, the Nexus 7, was launched in 2012 and made by Asus. It followed the model established by the first Nexus smartphone made by HTC in 2010, where Google partnered with a manufacturer to produce a device with a pure Android experience without the manufacturer’s standard customisations.
Google partnered with HTC last year to produce the Nexus 9 tablet, but the device suffered from manufacturing defects and overheating issues. It appears Google is replacing the Nexus tablet line with devices made wholly in-house.
The search company uses both its Nexus and Pixel device lines to show what its platforms can do, attempting to entice developers to create apps for those platforms.
In this case the Pixel C is the new flagship Android Marshmallow tablet experience, which Google obviously thinks should be based at least partially around productivity in the new hybrid laptop-tablet category, started by Microsoft’s original Surface tablet in 2012.
Apple recently announced the iPad Pro with a larger screen and similar keyboard accessory available in November. The new devices will pit both Google and Apple in direct competition with Microsoft.
The Pixel C will be available with either 32GB of storage for $499 (£330) or 64GB for $599 (£396) and is expected to be available before Christmas. The keyboard will cost $149 (£98).

Can’t wait 3 weeks for iPhone 6S? Pay Rs 1 lakh

It seems even a three-week wait for the Indian launch of the iPhone 6S and 6s Plus is too long for Delhiites, who are willing to pay big bucks to get their hands on the new Apple smartphones right now. Since the international launch on September 25, customs officials at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport have seized 180 of the phones — all to be sold in the city’s grey market for over `1 lakh each, sources said. “The seizures were made from different passengers and most of them were coming from Singapore or Hong Kong. One flyer was caught with 10 new iPhone 6S,” said a customs official at IGIA. Smuggled handsets are already on sale at Gaffar Market in Karol Bagh, the largest grey market for phones in all of north India.

Most Awaited : Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars fans got quite a treat earlier this week with a double dose of Star Wars media hitting store shelves. Along with the Episode III DVD, LucasArts also shipped Star Wars Battlefront II, the sequel to last year's Battlefront. Battlefront II, the sequel to the first team-based shooter set in a Star Wars universe, adds a few notable improvements, but doesn't stray too far from the formula that made the original game a big commercial success. You'll still take control of various infantry classes and vehicles as you fight for control of capture points on conquest-style maps. New space combat maps and playable Jedi represent some incremental improvements, but for the most part, Battlefront II treads familiar ground, which is great for Star Wars fanatics and fans of team-based online shooters. Space combat is arguably the best new feature in Battlefront II. The biggest improvement made to the standard vehicle-infantry combat combination is the add...
