However, sources familiar with the development at Micromax have said to The Mobile Indian that "the Canvas 4 will be priced at around Rs 18,000 and will be officially launched in July".

Microsoft and Oracle Team Up

LG Optimus Vu

The phablets are here to stay, and that is pretty much crystal clear. The Samsung Galaxy Note II still pretty much leads the way in terms of performance and the overall premium feel of the package. But the others are not to be ignored!

Vu is huge, and that is what you immediately notice the moment you hold it in your hand. The Galaxy Note II has a width of 80.5mm, while the Optimus Vu measures at just more than 90mm. The wide design does make it slightly uncomfortable while you hold the phone against the ear and talk. A Bluetooth should solve the problem.

The Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702

Ever been in a situation when you had a laptop wishing you had a tablet (or vice-versa)? Ever wished for a device that can instantly switch between the two form factors? Fujitsu grants this with its STYLISTIC Q702 tablet. Dock the device into a keyboard accessory, and it transforms nicely into a laptop. This Windows 8 device is basically a tablet, because the essential computing hardware is inside the screen, and the keyboard is an accessory. But actually, the keyboard is more than an accessory because it contains additional ports and, more importantly, an additional battery. 

Android 4.0 Dual-SIM Wammy Sensation

After the 5" Wammy Note phablet, WickedLeak has come up with a handset for people with normal-sized hands! The dual-SIM Wammy Sensation can handle 2G as well as 3G SIM cards. This Android-based smartphone is powered by a 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 dual-core processor and 1 GB DDR3 RAM.  

Genius KB 8005 Wireless Keyboard-Mouse Combo

No matter how many tablets, and hybrid PCs enter the market, the good old "computer" doesn't seem like a dying breed. For owners of those, Genius has launched the KB 8005. The keyboard/mouse combo includes a 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse, which can be connected to a computer via a USB mini-receiver. The keyboard is powered by two AAA batteries, while the mouse needs one AA battery.

The keyboard features six hot keys for media control functions and easy access to browser functions, while the three-button mouse houses a 1200 dpi BlueEye sensor. 

Facebook ‘Like’ scam

If you look, you will find countless Facebook pages that have hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. But are these real? Some of the posts invite people to write a comment to see what happens. But predictably, nothing happens and this is all part of a large-scale Facebook scam.

These ‘stories’ then appear on newsfeeds and begin to resemble spam. The most common modus operandi for such Facebook scams is to attract people by getting their sympathy. This is easily achieved with images of sick children, wounded animals or details about some charitable organization.
