June - The Month Of Gadgets



What's so special of the sixth month of this year? Well there happens to be 3 major events from three major companies of this world. Apple, Samsung and Google. So lets start with Apple.

Apple has announced that WWDC will take place from the 10th of this month to the 14th in San Francisco. Also, tickets were priced at $2500 or Rs. 1,37,500 each. And guess what? They were sold out in just two minutes! That's right 120 seconds! So, what can we expect to see? Well Apple's much awaited iOS 7 will be unveiled. Apple's famous designer Sir Jony Ive is heading it and he says that iOS 7 is a major overhaul to the previous versions of this operating system for iPads, iPod Touches and iPhones. Apple CEO, Tim Cook says that we shouldn't expect any new hardware for this event. However, he also said that 'new hardware would come this fall.'

Now let's talk about Samsung. Samsung's big event is on the 20th of this month in London.  A lot of people had anticipated that Samsung would unveil 3 new smartphones. The Galaxy S4 Mini, the Galaxy S4 Active and the Galaxy S4 Zoom. However Samsung surprised everyone by launching the Galaxy S4 mini much before the event. We also expect to see Samsung's new range of devices dedicated to windows 8 called the 'Ativ' range. 

Next, let's talk about Google. Google had recently held its I/O event. However, they have scheduled 2 more events on the 7th and 13th of this month. These events are called 'Mobile Chrome.' So what can we expect to see from Google? Experts say that the 2 different events are for 2 different operating systems, iOS and Android. But what will we exactly see? Only time will tell. 

I can't wait to see what these 3 major companies will show the world. But one thing is for certain. This month will be BIG. Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you next time!
