No More  Storage Woes on mobile devices

The New  Kingston Wi-Drive wireless storage Harddisk

There are many types  of Android and iOS’s  tablet  and mobile phone  accessories out there in the gadget world  ,  but, once in a while , a truly useful   accessories device  comes along  to  the arena    for  the  Kingston’s Wi-Drive is one such item. Memory specialist Kingston Digital has recently  announced a pair of new upgrades to its Wi-Drive wireless tablet storage system, bringing increased capacity and new support also  for Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet.


Originally designed for the  Apple  iPhone/iPod/iPad users have bemoaned the fact that they should have bought a device with larger storage capacity when they are close to the limit. the Wi-Drive is a rechargeable solid-state storage device designed to add 32GB of capacity to existing tablets, allowing owners to easily upgrade their iPad's storage without having to buy an entirely new tablet. It Just looks like and iphone size device .


  And another thing : it has always been a pain to get photos,movies and muciinto an Ios device without having to use software, iTunes or some other third party adaptor.
   What the Wi-Drive , which in itself is a flash drive in two sizes (16GB and 32 GB) does is to stream data wirelessly to the iOS  Device.The  next coming  model will be the 64 GB model  due for launched  later this year ,and that can allow user to stream video content  for extended hours and also will allow  Airplay streaming and playback of DRM  Protected  content
  However,  with  the addition of support for Amazon's Android-based Kindle Fire tablet ,the proven device  will  most probably be   among  the top  most sought  after  device that has proven incredibly popular in the US, offering full-colour web browsing, film rental and other facilities not previously available on Amazon's Kindle eReader range.


With the  Wi Drive  , it  provide  all user full access  to between 32GB to  64GB  of additional storage space  and this  supporting element  will boost the use of all mobile device to full capacity

"Since its debut, Kingston Wi-Drive has been a success with Apple mobile device users. As more consumers adopt Kindle Fire as their mobile device for personal media consumption, we are proud to help this new segment of users store and share photos, videos, music and much more," explained Kingston Digital's Krystian Jaroszynski of the announcement. "The combination of the app update, higher capacity and Kindle Fire support makes Wi-Drive the perfect wireless storage solution for mobile users."


Before the ios device can link up with the Wi-Drive ,a free app from the apple app store must be downloaded , once that is done , this Wi-Drive app can is done , this Wi-Drive app can synch with the Wi-Drive wirelessly
   Go to the Wi-Fi settings of the iOs device , select Wi-Drive and the hook-up ic complete, next , go to the app and open up the files , up to three people can access files at the same time the delivery is very smooth and seamless.
   Unfortunately , once Wi-Drive is selected, the current active Wi-Fi connection is lost , this means that once the user is done with the Wi-Drive he has to connect to the router.
   And because and Ios Device plays only MP4 videos and certain types of  music formats, avi and other video or audio formats stored on the Wi-Drive will not play on the iOs device.

AVATAR – The Legend of Korra  
(courtesy : avatar.wikia.com/wiki )

 The Legend of Korra  is an upcoming American television series set in the Avatar universe as a spin-off of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is expected to air on Nickelodeon on April 14, 2012. The series is currently under production and is expected to run for two seasons and a total of twenty-six episodes, with options for more. The co-creators of the original series, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, will personally write all of the episodes to allow for a tighter storyline.

The new series will take place seventy years after the end of the Avatar: The Last Airbender story arc, with new characters and settings.[5] The protagonist of the new series, Korra, the Avatar after Aang, is a hot-headed and rebellious young woman from the Southern Water Tribe who is "ready to take on the world".The series will follow Korra as she faces an anti-bender revolt while mastering the art of airbending from Aang and Katara's son, Tenzin.


After the conclusion of the War, Aang and Zuko brought people from the four nations together and founded the United Republic, creating Republic City, a large "metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology" such as cars and motorcycles. Aang and Katara had three children, the youngest of which was Tenzin, an airbender. Meanwhile, Toph Beifong traveled extensively to teach metalbending. After Aang's death, the next Avatar, Korra, was born in the Southern Water Tribe.


At the present time, seventy years after the end of the War, Korra is a rebellious seventeen year-old girl.As the Avatar, she has already mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending. At the beginning of the series, Korra travels to Republic City and starts her airbending training with Tenzin. Tenzin himself is married to Pema. He has two daughters, Jinora, a "bookworm", and Ikki, a "motor-mouth", while Meelo, his youngest child, is currently his only son. Pema is currently pregnant with the couple's fourth child.

However, Republic City is not what Korra imagined it to be. Anti-benders called "Equalists", who oppose the arts of bending, utilize techniques such as chi blocking to further their goals of revolution, led by Amon. Korra must fight rampant crime and the anti-bender revolt, assisted by two brothers, Mako, a firebender, and Bolin, an earthbender. She is also joined by her animal guide, Naga, and the metalbending police force of Republic City, who are led by Toph's daughter.

Cloudpaging Technology Realizes a Mobile Gamer's Dream Come TRUE

PLAYING high-end video games on a mobile device  is  now very  much  On  with ONLIVE , Numecent ( Approxy )  ,and Galkai  with their new release software that allows people to play the richest, most graphically intense games on their iPhone and iPad, Kindle fire and Other Android mobile internet enabled devices.



Up to  date ,most of  these games  exceeds the  computing power of such devices  as they requires  similar  configuration   to  a PC or a console.
OnLive , Approxy  and Galkai  runs all the games on its service entirely on powerful server computer in its data centres and delivers them over the Internet, through so-called cloud computing . Pioneers such as OnLive, Gaikai and Otoy are each pursuing their own version of cloud gaming. Those companies have figured out how to be more efficient using compression technology. But gaming is just one of multiple applications for the cloud technology, and new development  with different technology  are still being experimented  and  one case is the  recent  launched of  Approxy by Numecent who  claimed their  technology is a lot more efficient 


If the Gaming Platform succeed to get Gamers  to shift to cloud gaming ,then it could have big implication for the incumbent powers in the video games business, mainly the console makers Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo as the running of games in data centres instead  of  that   using  the Games consoles in the home can be far less powerful  but   it  relieves the  consumers of the need to buy a new generation of hardware in the future and   at the same time, moving game into the  cloud computing can  let Gamer  utilize   their  relatively low-powered mobile devices to gaming capacity


Cloud applications are  presently implement  for games  like Farmville but playing high-end graphics games in the cloud presents a much bigger challenge because of the importance of eliminating lag between the moment a player takes an action in a game on his or her device, and when the game responds on the screen and cloud  gaming  must allows for instantaneous response to actions by players as they control the movement of characters within a game.

 Such games are executed in the cloud and deliver   fragments, that run on the user’s computer or smartphone or tablet on a just-in-time basis. The newer  cloudpaging technology from Approxy reduces the data sent over a broadband connection by 20 times to 100 times. That enables high-end games to be played on just about any device and Numecent  feels their new technology will be the standard above other competitors.
Others  like OnLive sends a video of the application to an OnLive client and uses low-latency connections and compression for responsiveness. Approxy streams a compressed portion of the application and does the processing on the client device in a virtual machine. That allows it to run a cached version on the client machine without an internet connection


With  the Numecent ‘s cloud paging technology  ,Some services try to speed up the download process by launching a “progressive download,” where a game can begin playing almost instantly while the rest of the game is downloaded in the background. Approxy aloows cloud paging  to  fetches the software instructions on demand from the cloud. Games can also run instantly without any installation when only 5 percent to 10 percent  is being  buffered. Licenses are tracked automatically and the delivery is secure. Games can be instantly patched. Games can be played offline and with full peripheral support.   



Presently  new games  with upgraded features  like   LA Noire and Unreal Tournament 3 are well accepted   on an iPad, Android phones and Kindle Fire. Which  responded immediately when a player moved a character around.Even so  popular  on line gaming  like  the World of Warcraft  could soon be made available from Gaikai  for Facebook   all  through cloud  gaming
 The proposed mobile offering from  Blizzard   would allow games to enjoy all aspect of the title as It would be foolish for any game developer to not be looking at that, he said, nothing that consumer are increasingly spending more time on their mobile devices than on their PCs.
