Micromax unveils dual-OS
'LapTab'; to hit shelves in
February
Homegrown handset maker Micromax on Monday
unveiled its latest tablet LapTab, which will run
on both Windows 8 and Android JellyBean
operating system. The device, which was unveiled
at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, will be available for consumers in early
February.
"The Intel-powered LapTab is the first dual-boot
Windows and Android tablet. The device is aptly
designed for multitasking across operating
platforms and users would need to simply reboot
the device and select the alternate option to
switch from Windows to Android and vice versa,"
Micromax said.
The device is powered by 1.46GHz Intel Celeron
processor and has a 10.1-inch IPS display. It
comes with 2GB RAM, 7400 mAh battery, 2MP
front camera with light sensor and wireless
keyboard. With storage of 32 GB expandable up to
64 GB, the tablet also supports Bluetooth v4.0
and Wi-Fi.
"Over the past few years, we have been
witnessing a growing trend of increasing
consumer demand for two operating systems in
one device, which offers a blend of great PC like
productivity in a tablet like form factor for
seamless consumption," Micromax co-founder
Rahul Sharma said.
Combining functionality and style, the LapTab
further builds on the promise to constantly
empower our users with superior technology that
directly addresses their needs, he added.
"We would be unveiling an array of innovative
products across international markets in next six
months for which Micromax is known for,"
Sharma said.
The LapTab comes with a transleeve which can
be combined as a cover and stand for the
wireless keyboard. Consumers will also have an
option to buy a customised keyboard for LapTab
when it hits the stands.

Samsung Announces 'New Era Of Smart Home' With Single App, Protocol For Controlling Home Devices

Getting in some early news, Samsung has -
as part of CES 2014 - announced its new
Samsung Smart Home service, a means by
which users will be able to control all their
connected home appliances (from
refrigerators to air conditioners to smart light
bulbs) through a single app on their
compatible smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or
wearable device.
To start, the service will cover three main
areas, which Samsung identifies as Device
Control, Home View, and Smart Customer
Service.
Device Control, as you might guess, allows
users to control home devices using a mobile
device remotely. The feature also allows for
voice commands so if, for example, you're
going to bed, you could tell your smart TV
"good night," and it would know to turn off
and tell the lights to dim gradually.
Home View will give users a peek inside their
own home with "in-built appliance cameras,"
while Smart Customer Service will notify you
"when it's time to service appliances or
replace consumables." hat is perhaps more interesting than
Samsung's initial offering - which will roll out
across Samsung's own devices and
appliances "in the first half of 2014" - is that
the manufacturer has developed a "Smart
Home software protocol" that will allow other
device and appliance manufacturers to gain
compatibility with the system.
Exactly who will jump on board with the
protocol remains to be seen, and Samsung
notes that "initial deployment" of the service
will cover a range of Samsung Smart TVs,
home appliances, and smartphones, with
support for more products and third-party
manufacturers coming later.
Samsung also notes in its release that it
plans to expand the service to home-energy,
secure home access, healthcare, and "eco
home applications" through unspecified third-
party partners. For the full announcement, hit
