Sony continues in hot pursuit. Earlier we have already seen iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 tablets and even Nexus 9, which are ready to offer us new technologies, which are developed especially to attract consumers. Now is the time for VAIO tablet, which also is eager to take part in this show.
Looking at its new design you can find similarity with the Microsoft's Surface Pro tablets. Most probably Sony will also follow the tablet strategy based on a removable keyboard cover with a sustainable capability to compete with iOS and Android devices.
VAIO Prototype Tablet PC is armed with an Intel Quad Core Processor and Intel Iris Pro Graphics powerful enough to provide the 12.3-inch LCD screen with faultless and impeccable video stream at a high resolution of 2560x1704 pixels with over than 95 percent color gamut Adobe RGB coverage.
Just like Surface Pro 3 the new VAIO will have Gigabit Ethernet and Mini Display ports, HDMI, two USB 3.0 and Audio output. SDXC Memory cards and Digital Pen are also supported.
Sony declines to come down to earth and stand near the mortal tablets, as the price we have received after currencies recalculation should be around $1825-1830. It is still unknown whether the device will appear on the US market right away or will come out step-by-step. Maybe Sony will launch 12.3-inch VAIO as a limited edition only for wealthy Japanese, but it is not known for certain.

And that is correct, because the Artificial Intelligence has not reached the required level of intellect to cause the war between our races. Thinking of it, is actually funny.

The robot listens to you and does exactly what it was asked to. Amazing! All you have to do is add "Alexa" or "Amazon" phrase in the beginning of your command. Believe it or not, but it really works, as we see the trailer that shows such functionality.
Besides listening to your commands and replying to it, the device is capable to extend its potential by uploading more information to its Cloud Memory space in order to have more skills to answer you. The family robot can answer everybody's request, such as time now, weather forecast, music playing and a lot of other app configurable stuff.
The solid cylinder like vase looks very good on any surface of the room. It has a 2.5-inch speaker all around the body having its third part of the total surface and a mic on the top of the casing capable to hear a normally spoked voice from every corner of the room not requiring a loud speaking to accept a command. And when it accepts a command, the LED lighting accompanies the robot's reply.
The Echo friend can advise you the time, date, arrange a timer for your cooking or alarm clock to awake you in the morning. The device can also add or remove the required things to do to your "Do list" or products to your "Buy list". Another essential requests are taken from Wikipedia, if you want to know the height of the certain mountain, for example.
You can also manage the device through your smartphone remotely to make a surprise to a person you're in love sitting in a guest room with no suspicion of your activities. The robot might become the weapon of your imagination, so choose wisely how to use it.
The e-butler could make your life more interesting at a simple price of $200 and if you're a Prime user, the price would decrease $100 less, but you should get an invitation for it.

It has long been no secret that a new generation of smartphones from the greatest brand of all times for the first time will be presented as the two models coming at once. This couple's design is incredibly attractive for sure, but is it quite enough for the customer to pull out his wallet in rush and get one of them at store?
From one year to another, each reincarnation of iPhone was mightier with each new model, and the sixth rebirth is not an exception this time. It would be strange to see inside the new device all of the last year's assemblies, modules, or something else not making iPhones inimitable, as we expect them to see. But nevertheless, the absence of a great leader is palpable. It is unlikely for the leading smartphone to step into the new world with an enlarged clone being afraid of the anticipating crowd to be disappointed a bit. Anyway this is the strategy chosen by the company we have fallen in love with, but the respect for the brand was struggled by Steve himself and who knows how would he arrange new strategy in a volatile world we live in.

Video Recording is performed at 1080p and 30 fps or 60 fps and slo-mo video at 120/240 fps. Weight and dimensions of 4.7-inch model is 4.55 ounces (129 grams) and 5.44x2,64x0,27 inches respectively.
And the new comer handset named iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch IPS Retina HD display offering 1920x1080 pixels at 401 ppi, 500 cd/m2 Max brightness and 1300:1 contrast ratio. There is an improved 8MP camera, which contains an optical image stabilization to explain the "Plus" token in the end of its name.
Other specifications such as Time-lapse video recording, Cinematic stabilization, Continuous autofocus, Exposure control, Burst mode, Panorama and a 3x zoom inherent for the both models. FaceTime Cameras are also identical. 1.2-megapixel sensor with ƒ/2.2 aperture can recordi video in 720p HD. The front-facing camera has a backside illumination sensor, Auto HDR, face detection, Exposure control and, of course, the same Burst mode.
iPhone 6 Plus can run for 24 hours of talk time on communication 3G, and iPhone 6 - 14 hours, 14 and 11 hours of video, 50 and 80 hours of music playing.
