“breathe” Luxury Portable Charger (External Battery)
http://androidspin.com/2013/09/18/review-b...rtable-charger/

......The “breathe” Luxury Portable Charger is a good option to power your device on-the-go if you want something that’s different and looks sophisticated. If you pull one out, no one will know what it is at first. The wide variety of colors broadens its consumer base and can be for either men or women, though most of the color options are geared more towards women (like mine). I think it makes for the perfect give for the tech-lover in your life.

Here is Anandtech's review of the fruit 5s.

I am posting it here for an understanding of 64 bit computing, since Anand gives a very detailed explanation of CPU design and good comparisons.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review

..... NVIDIA and Samsung, up to this point, have gone the processor license route. They take ARM designed cores (e.g. Cortex A9, Cortex A15, Cortex A7) and integrate them into custom SoCs. In NVIDIA’s case the CPU cores are paired with NVIDIA’s own GPU, while Samsung licenses GPU designs from ARM and Imagination Technologies. Apple previously leveraged its ARM processor license as well. Until last year’s A6 SoC, all Apple SoCs leveraged CPU cores designed by and licensed from ARM.

With the A6 SoC however, Apple joined the ranks of Qualcomm with leveraging an ARM architecture license. At the heart of the A6 were a pair of Apple designed CPU cores that implemented the ARMv7-A ISA. I came to know these cores by their leaked codename: Swift.
.......
I always thought the transition from 2 to 4 cores happened quicker in mobile than I had expected. Thankfully there are some well threaded apps that have been able to take advantage of more than two cores and power gating keeps the negative impact of the additional cores down to a minimum. As we saw in our Moto X review however, two faster cores are still better for most uses than four cores running at lower frequencies. NVIDIA forced everyone’s hand in moving to 4 cores earlier than they would’ve liked, and now you pretty much can’t get away with shipping anything less than that in an Android handset. Even Motorola felt necessary to obfuscate core count with its X8 mobile computing system. Markets like China seem to also demand more cores over better ones, which is why we see such a proliferation of quad-core Cortex A5/A7 designs. Apple has traditionally been sensible in this regard, even dating back to core count decisions in its Macs. I remembering reviewing an old iMac and pitting it against a Dell XPS One at the time. This was in the pre-power gating/turbo days. Dell went the route of more cores, while Apple chose for fewer, faster ones. It also put the CPU savings into a better GPU. You can guess which system ended out ahead.......

==========
Extremely detailed discussions and benchmarks.

So both you and your dad will be getting a Note 3? Great !!!

How did you take this full page pic?

Yeah, I already mentioned in the text below the preview link in post 3.

DIS


Digital IS

I read that ios7 causes a drop in ipong5 battery life.

Earlier today I posted a link to an Anandtech review of the device. He goes into great detail about 64 bits and performance, and what it holds for the future.

Interestingly, he predicts it will take 2 years before 64 bits becomes a major part of the ecosystem, and that Apple tried to jumpstart the whole process by adopting straight the ARMv8 instruction set instead of customizing their own stuff.

Note 2 price was stable for 3 months before slowly dropping for 2 months, then dropped faster on month 6.

Maybe you will get Deepavali promo ?

I'm using 4.1.2 rooted with Xposed Framework. Sufficient for me.

cuz do you already have the Note 3 in hand? If so congratulations and please post some pics and a review.

If not I will have to remove your entry in the list, as it is an "owners'" form.

Pre-orders don't count.

Just post links to those threads is fine, you're not selling. Let the rest know where to get stuff.

It is the LTE version. India is getting the 3G version.

There will be many who will get it for the convenience.

Personally, I'll go for something heavy duty

That, or at the very least something with full body and bezel cover and lip over the screen.

I have a Defender for the Note 2, and now using an "iface" which seems to serve just as well.

Show who?

It should be merit based, but then again there are studies that show people do not decide on facts

If you observe the many youtube postings about Gorilla Glass scratch tests, it does not scratch even when you draw a knife or other hard metal object against it.

The Sony shatterproof sheet seems to be some kind of design or manufacturing decision due to its glass, which they have never stated to be Gorilla or any other brand name scratch resistant glass.

Where is it? I don't know the location.
