Luckily, that has changed. According to recent reports, the newest 3.0 version of the app is no longer exclusive to just those devices. With the newest update, it can now be used with any Windows based PC.<br>Here's a quote with a few more details, <p>That's good for Samsung owners, since SideSync is actually one of the cooler add-on programs that the company makes. In addition to the standard backup function, it allows you to use your computer's keyboard and mouse/touchpad on your phone, or even do a full screen mirror on your computer screen. That's not impossible with regular Android, but SideSync makes it pretty easy for non-technical folks to join the fun. SideSync also lets you easily move copy/paste text from one machine to the other.</p> <p><br>Aside from the removal of hardware restrictions on the Windows side of things, the only other new addition for the SideSync 3.0 update is support for the shiny new Galaxy S5. Of course you'll still need a Samsung-branded Android phone (with KitKat or higher after this weekend's update).</p> <p>Below we have included a link to the Google Play Store so you can try it out.

This type of application from Google was seen earlier this year also where an Android client was made available in source form. About the app, there are no tutorials given how we can operate and control the mouse but we can always head to the help menu for all other details. The controls are a bit tricky, if you want a left click just tap once but if you are trying the right clicks then you have to give a two finger tap on to it.</div>

There are not many features bundled with this chrome Remote Desktop app as many other apps have various features like the file push, function buttons or media controls. To control you desktop or PC you need to zoom in to clearly see all the options and you can also zoom out if you wish too. However this app is a pretty good one considering it is official from Google and is available for free on the Google play store. So did you download this app? Will this app help you?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom to be Launched on April 29th – Specs, Details

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
The trend continues with Samsung as it is going to launch the Zoom version of its latest flagship Samsung Galaxy S5 on April 29<sup style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">th</sup>. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom or the Galaxy K will be launched at the event to be held in Singapore’s Red Dot Museum. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom was sighted in the month of March this year and also passed through the FCC (Federal Communication Commission).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
The company may name the device as Galaxy K as the company’s invite reads the letter K in the image and says Kapture the moment. Well we might still be wrong but considering the invite it might be possible. All the specifications of the device has already been leaked few days back and it notes that the device will be coming with a 20.2-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 4.4-44mm lens with 10x optical zoom, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Xenon Flash. This indeed is a big improvement in the camera point of view and it is expected to have a 4.8 inch touch screen Super AMOLED HD display.</div>

The device will be powered by a 1.7 GHz Dual Core + 1.3 GHz Quad Core Exynos (5260) processor coupled with Mali-T624 GPU. The leaks also suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom will be having faux leather back with round edges and a thin body, since the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom was a bulky device that made harder to carry the device and made difficult for normal use also.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
The more noticeable feature is the NFC and LTE connectivity that comes with the device and also with better speakers. Single LED flash system is used for this device for better captures and will be having a 2 MP camera on the rear for video calling. The device will be running on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat Operating System out of the box.</div>

The availability and the pricing of the device are not yet known yet but will be known in the even on April 29<sup style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">th</sup>. So wait till then to get more details of the device.</div>

Top 20 Worlds Most Popular Android Smart Phones Q1 2014

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">In 2014 there have been many Smart Phones launched by manufacturers and Antutu Labs which has been a great resource for checking the benchmarks of these devices through their android app has released some information on the Top 20 Smart Phones world wide and also region wise. The most interesting part of this information is that a brand like Xiaomi is on the Top of the charts being even Samsung. Samsung has a total of 7 smart phones in the top list along with 6 devices from Xiaomi followed by brands like Sony & HTC.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">There are a few more infographics and charts below which show the same data but region wise and the numbers are quite unexpected. In case of China where Xioami is leading we found that it had 50% share in the list followed by Samsung Galaxy S4 while S5 is not in the list because it was launched in the month of April and these numbers are for the Quarter one ie January to March 2014.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Its a surprise that in the USA, the results are quite different because the brand Xioami is not available in US and the markets are mainly dominated with the Nexus Series of devices primarily for the Non-Contract pricing which is very low when compared to other flagship Smart Phones. Out of the 10 devices in the list, we find 4 Nexus Phones followed by the Galaxy Note series from Samsung which has a total of 5 devices in the list. Clearly in the US, Asus and Samsung are leading the charts with these numbers as shown below.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Overall we found that Samsung is leading globally while in the Chinese markets its Xiaomi which is leading the charts. We would update these numbers for the current quarter after 3 months and check out which brand is leading or dominating the markets. Do make a note that these numbers are from Antutu Benchmarks V4 and not from any market research agency.</span></div>

Google contact lens with built-in microcameras patented

People with eye problems (even the blind) can greatly take advantage of this new technology. Find out why after the jump.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
The futuristic contact lenses was reported to have embedded microcameras (take note, more than one). These microcameras are impressively small that they don’t affect the thickness of an ordinary contact lens. Once worn, they line up to the iris in a way that it can “look” where you’re currently looking. To control these contact lenses, a system will be developed that will understand the user’s blinks as it corresponds to specific functions or commands.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
Apart from not looking like a total geek by wearing these contact lenses instead of the Google Glass, Patentbolt shares that they can be used to help people with eye problems and even save lives. The lenses could alert the user’s paired device (such as a smartphone) when a dangerous instance arises.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px;">
“For example, a blind person wearing Google’s contact lens with a built-in camera may be walking on a sidewalk and approaching an intersection. The analysis component of the contact lens can process the raw image data of the camera to determine processed image data indicating that the blind person is approaching intersection with a crosswalk and establish that there is a car approaching the intersection,” Patentbolt explained.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
We’re only scratching the surface here when it comes to functionalities. We’re sure that as time progresses, the company will be able to come up with more use for this technology that looks like it came from a sci-fi movie. We’re also pretty sure that it will stir some reactions regarding issues like invasion of privacy as Google Glass is already experiencing as of now.</div>

Amazon’s smartphone with four cameras for 3D holograms

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">It has been long-rumored that </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">Amazon</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> will be coming out with a new </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">smartphone</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">and one of its main features is the four front-facing cameras that produces hologram-like images without the use of 3D glasses.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
According to sources, Amazon’s upcoming phone “would employ retina-tracking technology embedded in four front-facing cameras, or sensors, to make some images appear to be 3D, similar to a hologram.” In addition, this technology was also reported to sense movement when the screen is moving closer to a user’s face. Doing so makes the phone zoom into images automatically and manipulation of both text and messages depending on the positioning of the device is possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
Based on the reports, it seems like Amazon’s upcoming smartphone wouldn’t cost that much since the company aims to profit from customers acquiring services from Amazon using their devices, and not make money out of the devices itself. This is backed up by another feature of the phone that can recognize photos you take with its camera. After that, the phone looks for a matching product on Amazon so you can begin ordering it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
As of now, little is known regarding its official name and even what OS it will be running. The phone is set to go on mass production starting June and should come out sometime in late September — just in time for Christmas shopping and yes, same time as iPhone 6‘s arrival.</div>

<strong>LG G3</strong> leaked specs:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
5.5-inch QHD display @ 1440 x 2560 resolution<br />
2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor<br />
3GB RAM<br />
32GB storage (expandable to 64GB via microSD)<br />
13MP rear and 2.1MP front cameras<br />

Android 4.4.2 KitKat</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
The 13-megapixel camera was reported to have a maximum resolution of 4160 x 3120, while the front-facing shooter has a camcorder resolution of 1920 x 1080. No release date came with the specs so it’s still safe to assume that it will be available this June as previously reported.</div>

The credit doesn’t go to Samsung or LG as they are expected to come out with devices boasting 2K displays. Instead, Taiwan-based AU Optronics pioneers in developing  and distributing a 5.7-inch panel which holds the record for having the highest resolution. As mentioned earlier, the screen boasts 2560 x 1440 screen resolution accompanied by an impressive pixel density of 517ppi. The display is also thin at only 0.57mm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
This only backs up the reports and rumors of upcoming devices sporting 2K displays. Not only that, there’s also a big chance that it might be the standard for flagship phones in the future. The question is, do we really need over 2K resolution on 5-inch smartphones?</div>
