Samsung is apparently going to unveil a couple of new 7-inch tablets soon. One will be sold as the Galaxy Tab A, while the other will bear Galaxy Tab E branding. The latter device has been leaking a lot lately, with  full specs having been outed  as well as  a round of renders allegedly showing it. Earlier today prolific leaker Evan Blass, also known as @evleaks, has decided to make things interesting and out a new set of press renders for the 7-inch Tab E. However, accompanying it in the image you can see below is the upcoming 7-inch Galaxy Tab A. The Tab A is to the left in these shots, while the right side belongs to the Tab E. What's immediately obvious is that the E models have larger side bezels. The backs of the upcoming Tab A and Tab E devices are pretty much interchangeable. Their specs could be similar too, but that's not certain yet. The Tab E is supposedly coming with a 7-inch 1,280x800 touchscreen, a 1.3 GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of built-in sto

As T-Mobile does all the time, it ships phones early to customers who pre-ordered them.

Improving the way people travel and commute has always been our goal. We believe that through carpooling people can get transportation in a cheaper, greener, friendlier and more efficient way. And for two years, we endeavored to make this a reality by building a vibrant community that actively used Tripda, not to mention the carpooling communities we helped foster in universities across Pakistan!’ So begins Tripda’s last email to the users of its carpooling service. The Rocket Internet-funded startup announced its plans to  shut down its services globally  3 weeks back. Today it sent out a goodbye email, thanking its fans and supporters globally. ‘Did you know Tripda helped over 1 million travelers, in 13 different countries, to find a match and have a genuinely great trip! Meeting through our platform, drivers and passengers had an unparalleled collaborative experience, rating each other with 5 stars in 95% of the rides. And this is exactly what we aimed for.’ For a ca

It’s been four years since the Raspberry Pi Foundation came to be. To celebrate its fourth birthday, it has released the third version of the Raspberry Pi. The small sized computer has been sold 8 million devices since 2011. The micro-computer has seen its biggest update yet as the inexpensive computer board adds WiFi and Bluetooth. The price remains the same at $35. Raspberry Pi brought an unimaginable improvement in the education sector. Where most classrooms couldn’t afford a PC for everyone, Raspberry Pi has solved the problem and helped millions of curious children. Classrooms will now be able to bypass the Ethernet connections and save on that by using the new 2.4 GHz WiFi feature. The addition of Bluetooth, however, is targeted towards hobbyists and researchers who have been working using a Raspberry Pi to collect data from sensors, connecting to devices at their labs or homes. With built-in Bluetooth (and Bluetooth LE using an onboard antenna), Pi won’t need to be p

Xiaomi  announced  its newest flagship -  the Mi 5  - at MWC last week. The device is  all set  to go on sale in China starting March 1 - tomorrow. In case you're wondering how many people have registered for tomorrow's sale, the figure stands at over 14 million. This was revealed by the Chinese company itself. That's quite impressive, and is even said to be a new record for the company as the milestone was achieved in less than a week after the $300 handset was unveiled. As for the sale, it begins 10AM China time, and will see the company offering only the white color variants of the 3GB/32GB and 3GB/64GB models. There's currently no word on when other versions, including the higher-end ceramic back variant will be available for purchase.

The Samsung  Galaxy A9 Pro  is apparently nearing official status if benchmark listings are any indication. After it was  spotted on GFXBench  earlier this month, the upgraded variant of Samsung's 6-incher has now made its way to AnTuTu, confirming the key upgrades over the vanilla  A9 (2016) . For one, the 13MP primary camera gets a bump to 16MP, so the A9 Pro won't have the same sensor as the rest of the A (2016) lineup. You'd also be getting higher-res selfies than on the regular A9 - 8MP vs. 5MP. Befitting the Pro moniker, RAM is also a gig more, at 4GB.   Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro on Antutu The rest is all the same as the Galaxy A9, meaning a Snapdragon 652 chipset and 32GB of storage. The older GFXBench listing put screen size at 5.5 inches, but we all know how benchmarks can get that particular bit wrong. We'd say that 6 inches is the safe bet here, even if AnTuTu stays mum on the matter.

If there’s one more reason to give up on BlackBerry and Nokia, it’s the discontinuation of WhatsApp from their operating systems starting 2017. Both companies, having being the superpowers of the mobile industry, have for long been run over by Samsung and Apple. Currently, the two has-beens are having a hard time reaching the level of innovation and market control enjoyed by their competitors. Whatsapp Nixes Support for Bygone Mobile OSes It has been seven years for WhatsApp and it boasts of one billion active users – which is quite a charm. However, earlier last week, the company announced its decision to discontinue the app on BlackBerry and Nokia, on its official blog, which read: ‘When we started WhatsApp in 2009, people’s use of mobile devices looked very different from today. The Apple App Store was only a few months old. About 70 percent of smartphones sold at the time had operating systems offered by BlackBerry and Nokia. Mobile operating systems offered by Google
