I subscribed to the MTN 10MB DATA PLAN BY 19:36 and u all know that it will expire by exactly 19:36 on d second day whether i finish it or not...But could you believe the MB no gree expire and am having 4MB left unused because i don't have time to use it....i used a simple tweak before subscribing...wanna know the tweak??  Just buy MTN #100 Recharge card...don't load it yet

Change the date of ur phone to 2 days ahead of the real day..for example today is 23-04-2012 change the date to 25-04-2012 and change your time to 11:59am or 23:59 ... Then load the card and start and subscribe to the 10MB By sending 104 to 131 or dial *123*4*1*1# you'll be given your 10mb Asap! And your money will be taken...
=>THE GOOD THING IN THIS TWEAK IS THAT IF U ARE UNABLE TO USE UR MB BEFORE THE TIME IN D SECOND DAY,,DON'T WORRY IT WONT EXPIRE...

YOU CAN ALSO DO IT FOR OTHER DATA PLANS BT MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE DATE TO 2DAYS AHEAD THE DAY THE PLAN SHOULD EXPIRE...

Gettin familar with PlayStation4

As you can see, Sony has unveiled a new look for it's latest Playstation, ditching the shiny black veneer of the previous model and opting for a more neutral grey/white color. This new look is quite stunning to be honest - it retains the style and sleekness of the PS3 design and still looks incredibly high tech, but the lighter shade is sure to attract some more casual gamers, a demographic that Sony will sorely need to cater to in order to succeed, as has been witnessed by the Playstation 3's current situation as the least successful video game console on the market, way behind the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. Clearly Sony has learned their lesson that they will need to chase a more mainstream, casual audience with their new Playstation 4.

check-out the new Turbo e-bike is too fast and furious for the western world (video)

While not quite the fastest commercially available e-bike in the world as some have suggested (as far as we can tell, that claim belongs to a DIY kit out of Taiwan by a company called Cyclone), the Specialized Turbo is still a speedy little beast. In fact, it's fast enough to find itself on the wrong side of the law both here in the US and across most of Europe. The 250 W rear hub motor is powerful enough to get this guy up to about 28 MPH, or 8 MPH over the legal limit here in America. It's the other features, though, that make this guy particularly interesting. The frame has integrated LED head and tail lights, regenerative breaking and the 342 Wh battery can be juiced in just two hours from an outlet. There's even a backlit display that lets you monitor charge and assistance level, as well as standard bike computer stats like speed, distance and time. Oh, and it even supports ANT+ for wirelessly connecting with your existing accessories. The Specialized Turbo is expected to land in some European nations in May for €5,499. Check out the video after the break to see it in action.

Samsung partner with fellica for japanese Nfc, 2012 olympics mobile payment app with visa cards.

Across the globe today, Samsung is bringing a number of pushes to broaden NFC adoption. On the island of Japan, the company's signed a partnership with FeliCa Networks to implement its NFC-Secure Application Module chips in its mobile devices.
Notably, the solution is ensures compatibility between Japan's long established Osaifu-Keitai contactless payment services and the newer breed of NFC Types A and B which normally don't play nice together.
The chips are touted has having "advanced security" to keep your funds in check, and are expect to hit "commercial deployment" set for 2013. Flying over to London, Samsung and Visa have unveiled the official NFC payment app for the 2012 Olympics, in their continued preparation for the big event. Despite the unveil, the application will officially debut for display at Mobile World Congress next week.
This comes nearly ten months after the duo announced their plans to further establish NFC-based payment options for London and the event itself.

LG Optimus 3D Max is a slimmer sequel, world's first phone with 3D video editing.......

We're not sure if the world was anxiously awaiting a follow-up to LG's Optimus 3D (the AT&T Thrill 4G here in the states), but here it is: the LG Optimus 3D Max -- or Optimus 3D Cube, depending on your country. The latter's been announced for Korean carrier SK Telecom, with the former rolling out to Europe later. The Optimus 3D Max is slightly thinner than its predecessor at 9.6mm vs. the Thrill 4G's 11.9mm, with a faster 1.2GHz dual-core CPU and 16GB of storage built-in, confirming most of the rumors we'd heard previously. According to LG, it will also be the world's first that can handle 3D photo and video editing right on its glasses-free 4.3-inch screen, all shot by the dual 5MP cameras mounted on the back. It also has NFC baked in to support the new LG Tag+ stickers that change the phone's settings when swiped, just like the Optimus LTE Tag. It's scheduled for release in early March with Android 2.3, but we're promised an Ice Cream Sandwich makeover soon after launch, just like its cousin, the Optimus Vu. Check out the full list of specs after the break and expect to us to get a firsthand look when Mobile World Congress kicks off on the 27th.

GuitarJack Model 2 review

As recovering amateur musicians, some of us still fancy well-made mobile recording gear from time to time. The ability to simultaneously record guitar and vocals using an iPhone 4S is what made the GuitarJack Model 2, in particular, catch our eye. We've taken iPad recording accessories for a spin in the past, but the compact stature of this kit, along with its ability to transform a smartphone into a 4-track recorder seemed quite compelling indeed. At $149, this generation of the GuitarJack costs a full Grant more than Apogee Jam -- excluding the added expense of well-suited apps, of course. So is that hefty investment worth it? Read on to find out.

We'll just go ahead and get this out of the way early: the Guitar Jack Model 2 is quite the dapper peripheral. The adapter is housed in a polished metal shell that pairs nicely with the latest iPhone when the two are connected. Look closely and you'll see the side plates housing the input / output jacks are located are fashioned out of a lighter shade of aluminum. The kit also has a bit of weight to it, which bolsters its durability factor when coupled with that all-metal exterior. We won't recommend you go tossing the thing off your balcony to test its strength, but from the outside, it would appear to hold up much better than plastic adapters we've gotten our mitts on. There's only one tiny issue with the high-gloss aluminum coating: it loves to collect fingerprints. We found ourselves constantly wiping the adapter down to keep things somewhat presentable.

The top and bottom of the adapter only feature logos and text; the action really happens on the sides of the device. On the right-hand edge, you'll encounter a 1/4-inch guitar or instrument input and a 1/8-inch headphone jack. Moving around to the top, there's the built-in iOS dock connector that allows for recording sans cables. Heading over to the left side, you'll discover a single 1/8-inch microphone input. The way all the jacks are set up, cables will extend out from the sides of the unit, allowing you to lay the entire thing flat while capturing your next power ballad. There are also diminutive rubber pads on the bottom to keep the kit's chiseled frame from scratching whatever surface it might rest on.

Software

If you don't install an app that plays nice with the adapter beforehand, your iOS device will prompt you to do so the first time you connect the two. Sonoma Wire Works, the company behind GuitarJack, offers a few options in the app department when it comes to getting your adapter in the game. We'll tackle the free ones first. GuitarTone allows you to rock out (via headphones, of course) on your iPhone while having the freedom to switch amps, cabs, mics and set up an effects loop to test out new riffs on-the-go. As with most free guitar apps, in order to expand your rig you'll have to dish out $9.99 per 12-pack. While the GuitarJack is connected, though, access to AmpPack 1 is granted and lends 12 amplifiers to your mobile axe arsenal.

If acoustic guitars are more your style, the outfit has developed the TaylorEQ app for those looking to channel The Civil Wars. This application boosts the sound of Taylor acoustics when used with the aforementioned adapter through a set of EQ presets specifically designed for industry legend's signature guitar shapes. You'll also be able to create your own custom tone and jam along with The Boss should you be so inclined. To put the GuitarJack version 2.0 through the wringer, we used FourTrack as our application of choice. Capturing guitar licks was pretty straightforward and we used a set of noise-canceling headphones to monitor our face-melting tones right off the side of the adapter. Once we were through capturing our riffs, we were able to check our progress via the iPhone's speaker after unplugging the kit. We plucked the strings of both a Washburn acoustic electric and a Parker Nitefly M. Each time we had to pause our session to take a call or answer an email, the software remembered settings and we were able to pick up right where we left off. The WiFi sync feature worked well, as we snagged freshly recorded tracks from our desktop in a few relatively painless steps.

We grew increasingly fond of GuitarTone as well. Yes, we doubt you'd want to invest a couple Benjamins in hardware and software for the sole purpose of going deaf playing "Everlong" with Dave Grohl. There is some practical use, though, in that you can avail yourself of all the amp and effects expansion packs you purchase back in FourTrack when you're ready to record some original material or a remixed cover. It doesn't have to be all business, all the time, does it?

We've also taken the Apogee Jam for a spin and have found it offers features the GuitarJack doesn't, and vice versa. The Jam works best with GarageBand on an iPad or Mac and therein lies a key difference: desktop / laptop connectivity. However, with Apogee's $99 offering, you can only record one input device at a time while the GuitarJack offers instrument and mic capturing simultaneously. Both peripherals capture a digital signal that cuts down on pesky noise one might run into with similar analog recording devices. The two units also feature gain controls as well -- the GuitarJack's level is altered via iOS app, while the Jam features and on-board dial. You'll also have to keep up with a couple of extra cables with the Jam, whereas the Jack is an all-in-one solution – a pretty nice perk, if you ask us. In terms of sound quality, the GuitarJack holds a bit of an advantage when each peripheral is tested with its recommended software. The adapter doesn't win in a landslide, though, and it'd be worth your time to consider both before committing.

On the surface, the Guitar Jack Model 2 is a handsome, well-built adapter for capturing ideas for that new EP in both instrumental and vocal form. The machined aluminum housing made the peripheral not only looks nice, but it also alleviated some fears about damaging the kit in a gear bag or backpack. The recommend software performs well and the base models don't put too much strain on the ol' wallet. But there lies an issue with this bad boy: the cost. At $149, you won't come in too far under a dedicated 4-track recorder, but you'll keep a piece of burlier tech out of the mix. So, it really is all about being compact and mobile -- two traits we prefer when it comes to tech.

With that said, the $50-plus premium you'll pay for this over the Apogee Jam is a sound investment only if you're going to be recording both vocals and an instrument simultaneously on the regular. If you're a guitar player without a decent set of pipes (think Angus Young), you may want to consider a less expensive offering that focuses more on your axe's tone. Even if you chose to spend your money here, you can expect above-average audio recording, along with a kit that's easy on the eyes as well.

Humble Bundle expands to Android with World of Goo, Anomaly and more

The choose-your-own-price Humble Bundle has proven to be a runaway success on desktop platforms -- helping fund indie developers and causes like Child's Play and the EFF alike -- and it's now finally taken the plunge onto mobile devices. That move was kicked off today with the Humble Bundle for Android, which includes the games Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Osmos, and EDGE. Those three are available for any price you choose, but you'll also get World of Goo thrown in if you pay more than the average price (just over $5 as of this writing). As always, you can also choose how you'd like your contribution split between developers and charity (and the Humble organization itself), and you'll even get access the Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the same games as an added bonus. Hit the source link below to get started, or head on past the break for a video if you need any more convincing. We should also note that the Android games are offered as direct downloads, not through the Android Market; installations instructions are provided following your purchase.

Meet Spark, the €200 slate packing Linux-based Plasma Active UX

As we all know, the Kindle Fire's hot, Apple's selling bushels of iPads, and there's plenty of Honeycomb slates out there for you to choose from, but what if you want a tablet free from corporate influence? Enter Spark, a seven-inch slate that comes running the Plasma Active UX, an open-source OS based on Linux kernel, KDE's multi platform Plasma environment and a dash of Qt for good measure. Now, this isn't just a consumer tablet -- Spark's aimed at "those who love writing great software... using the typical Linux tools" -- but it will offer access to eBooks from Project Gutenberg, plus Qt and QML apps, too. It's powered by a 1GHz AMLogic ARM processor, has a Mali-400 GPU and comes with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, plus an SD card slot for future expansion. Modest underpinnings, to be sure, but for €200 ($262), you can't expect quad core silicon, right? Naturally, order and delivery dates remain a mystery, but plenty of other info about the open-source slate can be found at the source below.

Wii U controller to pack NFC, says Iwata, create new gameplay options

Aching for more details on Nintendo's elusive Wii U console? Let Satoru Iwata scratch your itch -- quarterly reports aren't just for reporting losses and announcing new networks, after all. Boss hog Iwata told investors that Nintendo is spicing up their next console's tablet-esque controller with a little NFC magic. Nintendo's President briefly entertains the possibilities of a console controller rocking near field communication, suggesting that Skylander-like figurines or NFC enabled cards could be created to present a "new play format in the video game world." He even says the technology might be used to implement micropayments. Sounds neat -- but will you be able to buy DLC with your Google Wallet?

February 14th is Valentine... Angry Birds day

Forget poking: from February 14th, show you love someone by flinging a mis-tempered avian toward them. It's Valentines Day that Angry Birds will finally arrive on the ubiquitous social network -- just in time to ensure half the coupled population of the world misses its dinner reservation, in order to get past one more level. The basic game will be free, but upgrades like the Mighty Eagle, double-sized birds, an earthquake weapon and a max-strength catapult will cost you. It'll be launched in Jakarta around the same time you offer up that heart-shaped box of chocolates, so if you want to ensure the day remains romantic, we'd suggest waiting until the 15th before installing......

German court rejects Samsung's second 3G patent complaint against Apple

About a week after suffering a legal setback in Germany, Samsung received another bit of bad news this morning, when the Mannheim Regional Court rejected the second of its patent infringement claims against Apple. As with last week's ruling, today's decision addresses one of Samsung's arguments that Apple's 3G / UMTS technology infringes upon its patents. Judge Andreas Voss officially shot down these claims early this morning, though he didn't offer an immediate reason for his ruling. As FOSS Patents points out, however, these initial decisions against Samsung may be based on the validity of the specific patents themselves, and would therefore have no bearing upon the outcome of the Korean manufacturer's three other claims -- all of which are based upon different 3G / UMTS patents. In addition, the company is pursuing two lawsuits based on patents not related to 3G standards, including one, apparently, that details a way to type smiley emoticons on a mobile handset. We're still awaiting more information on today's outcome and will update this post as soon as we hear more.

Logitech's Q3 2012 report confirms Revue is sold out, Harmony remote refresh 'in the coming months

Logitech's Q3 earnings for the 2012 fiscal year don't have many surprises since the company already revealed it was dropping out of the Google TV team. In prepared remarks, company management confirmed it is completely sold out of new units, closing the door on any users still trying to nab a $99 Revue (who shouldn't be too heartbroken, since Vizio is promising a second gen unit is on the way at the same price). There is promise however, if you're looking for a new Harmony remote model, while interim CEO Guerrino De Luca says the company is late in providing a successor to the best selling Harmony One and other models, resulting in a 30 percent drop in sales, it plans to strengthen the lineup "in the coming months.

Dutch court rejects Apple appeal, says Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is legal.....

A court in the Hague has just cleared the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for sale in the Netherlands, rejecting Apple's requests for a nationwide ban. As NU.nl reports, a different Dutch court had already issued a similar ruling in October, which Cupertino promptly appealed, claiming that Sammy's slate was too similar to its own iPad 2. Today, though, the Court of the Hague shot down Apple's arguments, determining that there are enough differences between the two products to legally justify their coexistence. Granted, this is only one of many patent battles that the two companies are currently waging, but for today, at least, it looks like Samsung has come out on top.

PlayStation 3 video editor to hit Europe in Q1, 10 Euros at launch....

While Mr. Blurrycam already spotted the upcoming PlayStation 3 video editor at CES, he was unable to divulge any details on release dates. We were similarly unable to wring out much more when we hit the show floor ourselves. Now, Sony has finally outed a few key tidbits, including the fact that Europe can expect it to arrive by the end of Q1 and that you'll have to fork out for the pleasure -- priced at around €10 ($13). According to Electricpig, the Play Memories Studio will offer up cropping and zooming tools, slow-mo, and a medley of sound and visual effects. Incoming versions of the movie editor for iOS and Android, however, will still arrive gratis. Are you willing to stump up to get your Spielberg on? While there's nothing concrete on a US launch date just yet, we'd expect to see the editor to make a similar appearance over the next few months

Digitize Film Movies on your iPhone Using the LomoKino Adapter.....

Man, this gadget has to be the niche-est of niche gear we’ve seen in a while, but it’s certainly neat enough to get a mention. It’s the LomoKino Adapter, and it helps you digitize film movies with your iPhone.
That actually sounds pretty handy, until you realize that it requires you to have both an iPhone 4/S and Lomo’s LomoKinoscope to use it. And seeing as the LomoKinoscope is an accessory designed to playback movies shot on the LomoKino movie camera, you can see that you’ll have to amass quite a bit of gear just to get started.
The LomoKino, you’ll remember, is a $79 movie camera which captures 50 seconds in 144 frames on a single roll of 35mm film. It offers Lomo’s trademark crappy image quality, and requires you buy film and then get it processed.
You then play this movie back in the hand-cranked LomoKinoscope, and use the new LomoKino adapter to marry it up to your iPhone. Got it?
Then, finally, there is a simple step: Fire up the camera app and hit record. Or you could just ditch the whole pain-in-the-ass analog part of this charade and just buy a 99-cent grunge movie app for the phone. Cheaper, faster, easier and you won’t be left with a stack of plastic tat at the end of the day.
For those old-school masochists out there, thought, Lomo has one bone to throw you: There’s a bundle which lets you buy everything you’ll need at the press of one shopping button. Separately, the LomoKino Adapter costs just $25. The comprehensive kit will run you €99, or around $130.

Tablet, e-reader ownership nearly doubled over the holiday season..

The number crunchers over at the Pew Research Center have released another batch of market statistics today, this time, with a focus on tablets. According to the Center's latest survey, 19 percent of all adult Americans now own some form of tablet, marking a nearly twofold increase over figures from a poll conducted in mid-December. E-reader ownership, meanwhile, increased by exactly the same margin over this period, jumping from 10 percent to 19 percent. These numbers also signal a healthy acceleration from the middle of this year, when the slate and reader markets apparently stagnated, ahead of the holiday shopping rush. Overall, about 28 percent of US adults own either a tablet or an e-reader, up from 19 percent last month. You can find more stats and breakdowns at the source link below.

Asus Transformer Prime is to be launched in UK soon...

After the official announcement of Asus’ new product,
the Transformer Prime tablet, many people wanted to
get their hands on it. But unfortunately for the people of United Kingdom they
couldn’t get one even after the release date.
This caused many disturbances from disappointed
customers. Last Friday Asus have posted an official
statement on its Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ASUS

"Sorry for the delay in response.
ASUS have been working all day with our retailers to
try and fulfill back orders. Unfortunately due to high
demand this has not been possible. However we are
shipping more stock over the coming weeks.
Please contact your retailer for dates. We apologize
for any inconvenience caused."

Leaked Sony image: Is this the ST25i Kumquat?

What's this? If this is true, it looks like one of
the jilted partners in the Sony Ericsson split is
doing all it can to ruin the nice surprises planned
for next month's MWC. An image has appeared at
Xperia Blog that purports to be of the ST25i Kumquat,
which, if you've been paying attention is the cheapest
of the three phones due in April listed on the leaked
road-map from a few days ago. The design language
matches the Nozomi and the Xperia S we played with at
CES, but the on-screen icons are clearly bigger:
pointing us in the direction of this having a cheaper
display (with a worse resolution) than its brothers.
Don't let that Sony Ericsson logo fool you either,
the company's producing versions that bear both
branding, at least for this set of releases.
We're off to grab a microscope and see if we can't
glean any more facts from the snap.....

Switched On: Connected Electronics Show....

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.Compared to CES 2011, which featured an explosion of tablets and high-powered smartphones poised to jump on emerging 4G networks, this year's edition of Gear and Gloating in Las Vegas was a more muted affair when it came to mobile devices. Sure, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile trotted out a few devices and there were even a few standouts, such as the Transformer Primesque Lenovo IdeaTab S2 with its its docking keyboard as well as the heavily promoted Galaxy Note, coming soon the U.S. after launching in Europe. To promote that device, Samsung employed caricature artists to make drawings of booth attendees (and even put them on T-shirts), which cleverly highlighted the "S Pen" that docks into the device, and used the portmanteau "phablet" to describe its pocket-packing screen, which less cleverly highlighted that it's a big phone...

Sony VAIO series get minor processor refresh, Z series grabs LTE option on the way.

Ahead of any possible Ultra-book announcements, Sony's looking to give its existing VAIO catalog a (relatively underwhelming) shot in the arm with a bundle of hardware re tweaks. The Z series looks to gain the most out of the Spring refresh, with a new off-white Carbon Fiber Silver color option set to be offered up alongside an optional LTE modem. The series also gets a processor step-up, with new Intel Core i5 and i7 options rounded off with the choice of SSD storage. Including the connectable drive, prices for the series refresh will start from $1,950. Meanwhile, both the S (13-inch, $800, 15-inch, $980)and E series will get a similar bump to Core i7 processors, with both the S and aforementioned Z series able to lock into an extended sheet battery accessory. If minor processor improvements, more battery options and LTE connectivity enough to fork over your cash, you can expect the revitalized units to arrive early next month.

Acer's Aspire One 722 kitted with HSPA+, sold by AT&T

Sleek and svelte Ultra-books and tablets might have stolen the limelight from ye old netbook, but that doesn't mean the less glamorous category is completely bereft of all signs of life. Take for example, Acer's Aspire One 722. Sure, the 1GHz AMD C-50 powered, Radeon HD 6250 wielding netbook's internals got more pizzazz in an updated Europe-only edition, but that didn't stop AT&T from taking the original and giving it a new beginning thanks to shiny new internal WWAN module. Up-to-date silicon it is not, but it could be yours for just $40 a month -- provided you sign your life away on a two-year, 3GB per month, contract. Or alternatively, the HSPA+ redux can be had for the unsubsidized price of $450. Decisions, decisions. Pull the trigger at the source link below.
