Android 4.3

With the recent release of Android mobile OS version 4.3, you might have come across people having this version upgraded in their device and must be wondering why your device still shows up the lower version of it. And here is the reason for that, Google has shipped the latest version of its Andriod mobile OS version 4.3 to all compatible Nexus devices, and other leading vendors. HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, the super start of the Andriod Universe, will be among the first devices outside the Nexus series to get Andriod 4.3, which is incremental upgrade to the ecosystem.

Among the most notable feature is the option for users to create 'restricted profiles'. Andriod Jelly Bean 4.1 had already allowed its users to create multiple profiles so that a single device can be used by different users through individual logins.

Google Chromecast

Ever since its launch, Google Chromecast, a web casting device that when plugged into one's television allows users to convert the big screen into a smart device, has been creating quite a buzz online. Apart from exciting features the device provides, the reason why it has so many people talking about it is the its affordable price tag of 35$ USD. The device allows users to play web content such as movies, TV shows, music, and more from Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, and Chrome. The good part is that it pairs with smart phones and tablets that can be used as remotes.

Though all the services (Netflix and Google Music) are not yet available in India, the device is still is worth buying. People using TV's with USB ports other than smart TV's can give a try cashing on the devices throwaway price.
