WhatsApp forWindowsPhone gettingcall-contactfeature

We’ve been teasing and dancing
around the next iteration of
WhatsApp for Windows Phone, an
update that is looking to be quite
considerable for the platform.
One new feature has just been
revealed sounds more exciting than it is: call contact. No, this is not WhatsApp going all VOIP on us, but is instead just another means to facilitate an easier transition when communicating with people. In a chat conversation, users will be able to quickly direct dial the recipient by just bringing up their contact info.



For instance, if you’re chatting with
someone and they say something
dramatic, instead of typing back you may want to call them right then and there. Currently, you would need to minimize the app, head to your People Hub, look them up and dial. In the coming update, you can just dial them right from the app (as
it will hand off to the Phone).
It’s a small but interesting addition
as it shows WhatsApp (and Nokia)
are looking to more tightly integrate the popular messenger service within the OS. Who knows, maybe WhatsApp will be integrated into the OS fully down the road? Such a feat though would require a full OS
update whereas for now, they can
just do these little alterations to
make it feel more native.
New features in WhatsApp beta for Windows Phone.


WhatsApp is currently in a private
beta (version 2.9.172) and is
expected to hit v3.0 when it is
released as a fresh overhaul of the
service. Other additions found in the beta include:
1. In addition to UI improvements
we've rewritten our background
agent code for increased
performance (biggest plus no more music API usage)
2. New smileys
3. Fixes notification issues for WP8
users. Users can now see smileys on the double wide tile.
Fast resume. (If the app is open and you click on the incoming
notification it opens as if in Android, very fast really)
4. On the start-up now it ask you to backup your chat history.
5. Large images.


How To update Domain Name Contact Information

It's important to keep your domain
names' registrant, administrator,
technical, and billing contact
information (also known as your
Whois information) updated at all
times. We use this information to
notify the pertinent contact of
changes or requests for your domain names.

NOTE: We send .au transfer-related
information to the registrant
contact's email address as it
displays in the Whois database.
You can enter different contact
information for each of your domain
names, or you can enter the same
contact information for all of them.
You can update all four contact
types at once (registrant,
administrator, technical, and billing),
or you can update them
individually.

NOTE: If your domain name has
privacy, see Updating Contact
Information for Domain Names
with Privacy for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

Samsung has
launched the
Galaxy S4
Mini, a smaller
and cheaper
version of its
flagship
smartphone.

The device has
a 4.3in
(10.9cm)
screen, which
is slightly
bigger than its
predecessor,
the S3 Mini.
The company will show off the
smartphone at an event next
month, but has not yet given a
date for when it will go on sale.
The 5in (12.5cm) S4 phone
launched in April, and according to
Samsung has sold more than 10
million units.

The mini version, the specifications
of which were leaked online earlier
this week, will need to convince
consumers that it is not simply an
underpowered phone sold with the
help of Samsung's "premium"
Galaxy brand.

Driving sales:-

Last year, the company released the
S3 Mini, which was criticised at the
time for being much less powerful
than its bigger sibling.
"Those hoping Samsung's Galaxy S3
Mini was simply a smaller version of
the company's flagship phone may
be disappointed," wrote technology
news site GigaOM at the time of
the S3 Mini's release. "This is for
the budget market."
Another site,
knowyourmobile.com, said: "Given
the competition, [it's] way too
expensive for what's on offer."
The S4 Mini has an eight-megapixel
camera on its rear, compared with
the S4's 13 megapixels. The Mini's
1.7GHz dual core processor is also
less powerful than the quad-core
chip found in the larger model.
But such hardware downgrades
were understandable, said Nick
Dillion, mobile analyst for Ovum.
"The point of it is to offer some of
the bits of flagship device to a user
who isn't quite as demanding and
doesn't want the latest features
and spec.
"They are shaving off price with the
processor and screen and memory
and so on - but the experience will
be similar."
Samsung said many of the software
functions shown off at the S4's
glitzy launch earlier this year would
be available on the cheaper model.

Experimental:-

The S4 Mini is the company's latest
move in its strategy of offering a
smorgasbord of shapes and sizes of
its devices to customers - rather
than Apple's one-iPhone-per-year
approach.
At a recent conference, Apple boss
Tim Cook said his company did not
want to get "defocused" on having
multiple lines, but did not rule out
future variants of the iPhone.
"It takes a lot of work, a lot of really
detailed work to do a phone right
when you manage the hardware,
the software and the services
around it," Mr Cook said.
"We've chosen to put our energies
into getting those right."
At Samsung's event on 20 June,
analysts and insiders predict even
more products on the Galaxy brand,
potentially including a model with
optical camera zoom functionality,
as well as a waterproof phone.
"They almost make every single
permutation of a device as possible,
seemingly to test out the market -
they've had a certain degree of
success with that, especially if you
look at the [8in] Galaxy Note.
"That was very much an experiment.
It's proved to be a very popular
device that has spawned a whole
new market segment."

Micromax Canvas HD

Micromax made waves
with its Canvas 2, offering a very
capable smartphone with a 5-inch
screen. And now it is back with a
more powerful phone touting a
quad-core processor and HD-
capable screen. On paper, the
phone offers great value for money,
but many wonder if it is a better
proposition than Samsung Galaxy
Grand Duos. Well, we had the same
question (and some more) and put
Micromax Canvas HD through a
series of tests to find the answer.
Want to know which of the two is
better and see if Micromax's new
flagship is worth the money? Read
on to find out...

Hardware:

Canvas HD features an IPS display
measuring 5-inch that boasts of
1280x720p (HD) resolution and
294ppi pixel density. The phone has
a 1.2GHz quad-core Mediatek
processor, coupled with 1GB RAM,
and 4GB onboard memory with
microSD compatibility up to 32GB.
Connectivity suite of this phone is
quite standard and comprises 2G,
3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and
microUSB 2.0. You get an 8MP
camera with LED flash on the back
and a 2MP snapper in the front
with this dual-sim smartphone.

Design:

Micromax Canvas HD shares the
design language with its
predecessor, Canvas 2. It looks
decent and fits quite easily in the
hand. However, we were
disappointed by the overall build
quality because the plastic casing
on back creaks a little when pushed
little hard, but it is not something
you are likely to notice during
normal usage. Nevertheless, do not
expect it to survive a hard fall
without any damage.
The phone's front panel is black,
while the plastic used in the rear is
white; this is the only colour option
currently. As usual, the standard
sensors and secondary camera are
above the display, whereas the
three touch-sensitive keys are
below it. On the left is the volume
rocker and the Power/Lock key is
on the right; both the keys are
placed quite conveniently, so you
have no issue reaching them while
using the device with one hand. On
top, you will find the microUSB port
and earphone jack, while the mic is
placed at the bottom. The back of
the device sports the primary
camera, LED flash, speakers and the
manufacturer's logo.
Software:
Micromax Canvas HD runs on
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) out-of-the-
box without too many
customisations. In fact, apart from
pre-loaded apps like Notebook and
To Do and games like Cricket Fever,
Fruit Devil, you do not get any
software customisations in the
phone. You do get access to the
company's proprietary services like
M!Live, Hookup and M!Store. Apart
from these, you get one-touch
access to 14 commonly used
features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, data
connections and profiles from the
Notification Bar.
On one hand, this does not slow
down the phone due to heavy
tweaking, but on the other, it does
not add much to the user
experience that other Jelly Bean
phablets also offer. Micromax even
missed out on Aisha, its homemade
Siri rival, but we still get Google
Now, which is a pleasure to use.
Camera and multimedia
playback:
The 8MP rear camera of Canvas HD
disappointed us during testing. The
photos it clicks are quite grainy
unless taken in daylight; as soon as
you take photos under overcast or
low-light conditions, you will find a
lot of noise. The detailing was
below par and the white balance
was off. However, these issues mar
the cameras of most other
affordable phablets as well and we
expect buyers will just have to live
with this fact.
HD videos shot at 720p played
without any intermittent lag and
the screen quality complemented
them, much to our pleasure. The
default video player ran AVI, MP4
and MKV videos without any
difficulties. Audio output delivered
by the phone's speakers is quite
good, but we found that non-
Micromax earphones we tried on
the device did not deliver clear
sound quality. So you will have to
invest in a pair of Micromax
earphones in case yours ever stop
working.

Performance:

We were curious about the kind of
processing power that Micromax
Canvas HD's quad-core CPU has to
offer. We were pleasantly surprised
that it secured a respectable score
of 13194 on Antutu compound
benchmark test, whereas its
Vellamo Metal score was 459. Its
Antutu socre is higher than that of
Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, which
notched up less than 9000 during
its tests.
Another thing we were skeptical
about was its screen quality. The
phone's IPS panel does a great job
when seen under sunlight with its
brightness turned up and offers
decent viewing angles, though we
would have appreciated better
contrast. Nevertheless, we were
happy that there was negligible
pixilation and the content appeared
crisp. The touch is responsive and
there was never any lag during our
review. The graphics while playing
popular games like Temple Run 2
and Gun Bros were good.
The 2,000mAh battery of the
Canvas HD runs roughly 12-15hours
on a single charge with an hour of
video playing, calling and Wi-Fi
browsing each and two to three
hours of music playback. Tone this
down and you are likely to get a
full day's battery life.

Sony Xperia Z Black

Description:-

Get £22 to spend on Music, Movies
and Games on the Sony
Entertainment Network from Sony if
you purchase an Xperia Z in May. For
more details click here .
The new flagship Xperia handset,
the Z is a quad-core beast with a
whopping 5 inch screen, 13.1MP
camera and is waterproof
The Xperia Z's huge 5 inch display is
the most advanced Sony has ever
made for a smartphone. It boasts a
retina-busting 441 ppi (pixel
density), full HD resolution (1920 x
1080) and the new Bravia Engine 2.
Plus it has a widescreen 16:9 aspect
ratio (perfect for watching movies)
and multi-touch (up to 10 fingers).
Expect zippy performance with
Android Jelly Bean OS, 2GB of RAM,
a 1.5GHz quad-core processor
(Snapdragon S4 Pro) and 16GB of on
board storage. The now obligatory
micro SD slot (up to 32GB), NFC,
Bluetooth, A-GPS, Wi-Fi and 4G
connectivity all make an appearance
on the Z.
A 13.1MP camera with Sony's new
Exmor RS sensor is flushed on the
back while a 2.2MP camera sits on
the front. The main camera can
record HDR (High Dynamic Range)
video and capture HDR images even
in low light. Those who have used
Sony Cyber-shot cameras will be
familiar with Xperia's revamped
camera user interface.
The Xperia Z is rugged and tough
which is quite unusual for a flagship
phone bursting with high end specs.
It's IP57 certified which means it
can be submerged in up to a metre
of water for 30 minutes and is dust
resistant. Now you can tweet whilst
in the shower!
Battery life is always a crux with any
power thirsty, high end smartphones
so Sony has tried to overcome this.
They've fitted the Xperia Z with a
2,330mAh battery (non-removable)
that has a nifty power saving feature
called Battery STAMINA Mode. This
increases the battery life up to 4
times by killing battery-hungry apps.
All of this cutting edge tech is
trimmed down to a slender 7.9mm
(thinner than the Samsung Galaxy
S3!) and weighs just 146g.
Features you'll love:
5 inch display - full HD
screen (1920 x 1080), 441ppi
and the latest Bravia Engine
Water resistant and rugged
(IP57 certified) - can be
dunked in up to a metre of
water for 30 minutes,
dustproof
High performance - quad-
core processor (1.5GHz),
2GB RAM, Android Jelly
Bean OS
13MP camera - HDR (High
Dynamic Range) pictures
and videos
