In the enterprise space, BlackBerry used to reign supreme, at least until a year or two ago when things started to go downhill for the Canadian company. What this meant is that while BES might have been a given or the first choice for many companies, it suddenly became a less attractive option, with more employers and employees starting to favor a BYOD (bring your own device) program, where they could bring in a variety of smartphones to work, such as iPhones, Android devices, BlackBerry phones, Windows Phones, and etc.
This also meant that the enterprise market was up for grabs, although according to a report from The Times of India, it would seem as though Nokia is picking up where BlackBerry has left off as the Finnish company has recently claimed that they have managed to add over 400 firms as customers for their range of Lumia Windows Phone devices. According to Nokia India director, sales, Raghuvesh Sarup, “Bring your own device (BYOD) has helped us gain strong ground in the enterprise segment, especially for our Lumia smartphones. With Microsoft as a partner with us, companies have access to productivity solutions as well […] CIOs are primarily concerned about the security aspect which is again well taken care of by Lumia range” Will Nokia be able to gain a lead over the likes of Apple and Google? Or will BlackBerry fight back and reclaim their crown? We guess only time will tell.

Oppo N1 Pepsi Edition Revealed
Posted in: Today's Chili
It was just last week that the Oppo N1 was launched, making it the world’s first smartphone to come with the popular CyanogenMod ROM preinstalled. Well for those looking for a slightly different design for their Oppo N1 handset, perhaps the Pepsi edition could be of interest to you! Pictured above is the Oppo N1 which will come with a Pepsi-theme launched and packaging, but other than that the internal specifications of the handset should remain the same as its regular counterpart. This means that if you were to get your hands on the device, you can look forward to a 5.9” 1080p Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, with a 13MP camera that can be rotated.
So how does one get their hands on the Pepsi edition of the phone? Well it seems that it will not be going on sale officially, but rather will be given out by Pepsi in competitions. What this means is that while it will not be for sale via official channels, we can expect that enterprising winners of the handset will try to sell it via third-party channels such as eBay, for example, although given that this will be available in China, you might have to dig a little deeper if you want to get your hands on the device. What do you guys think? Digging the Pepsi theme?

It was a few months ago that LG launched the LG G2 which was the South Korean tech company’s flagship smartphone for 2013. It was an impressive handset and it also featured a new design from the company (which some have compared to Samsung’s designs) and also packed a pretty decent camera that could give the Nokia Lumia 1020 a run for its money in terms of low-light photography. That being said, we’re sure many are interested in seeing what the LG G3 could have to offer, but is it too soon to start hearing about LG G3 rumors?
Well make what you will of it, but recent rumors have surfaced regarding the potential specifications of the upcoming handset. For starters it is believed that just like other phones before it, like the Vivo Xplay 3S and the upcoming Oppo Find 7, and the rumor specs of the Samsung Galaxy S5, the LG G3 is rumored to feature a 2560×1440 display, although no word on screen size just yet. Additional specs include an octa-core processor which is rumored to be of LG’s own make, and a 16MP rear-facing camera. No word on when the LG G3 will be launched, but some are speculating it could be earlier than expected in a bid to make up for “disappointing” LG G2 sales.
Take it with a grain of salt for now, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more details as they surface. In the meantime what do you guys make of the rumored specs so far? It seems that 2014 could the year of QHD displays!

We have heard the rumors that LG is planning on debuting a smartwatch of their own come 2014, and according to the recent rumors, it seems that we can look forward to the device being known as the LG G Arch. On top of that, the recent rumors have also corroborated earlier claims that LG could also be working on a fitness device of sorts which could be known as the LG G Health. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but some are speculating that the devices could debut either at CES 2014 or MWC 2014, but since we will be live at either event, we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information and will update you guys accordingly.
Smartwatches have definitely started to rise in popularity, with companies such as Motorola and Sony having released smartwatches of their own, and with Samsung hopping on board the bangwagon as well with their Samsung Galaxy Gear. In fact if the rumors are to be believed, we can look forward to more smartwatches come 2014 as tech giants such as Apple and Google have been rumored to be making an entrance into the smartwatch market with their own offerings as well. Either way it looks like 2014 could be an interesting year for technology and we are definitely looking forward to it!

Our smartphones can perform many tasks these days, anywhere from tracking our running distance, speed, calories burnt, to detecting wind direction and more, so we guess it does not come as a complete surprise that our smartphones will also be able to check our cholesterol levels for us. This is achieved through an app and an additional smartphone accessory that the average person can use to check their cholesterol levels at home by themselves without having to make constant trips to the doctor which can get expensive, not to mention time consuming. Of course we expect that if anything is out of the ordinary, that’s when you should drop by the doctor’s, but for regular monitoring, this could do in a pinch.
Created by researchers from Cornell University, this accessory sports a reagent test strip in which you will need to draw a bit of your own blood to place on it. The reagent strip will then change different colors depending on your cholesterol levels. What makes this different from how it is normally done is that it takes advantage of your smartphone’s camera and flash to help illuminate and capture the color of the strip, thus doing away with the need for a health-care professional and specialized (read expensive) equipment.

HTC One Two (One 2) Could Be A Series Of Phones, Not Just A Single Device [Rumor]
Posted in: Today's Chili![HTC One Two (One 2) Could Be A Series Of Phones, Not Just A Single Device [Rumor]](https://i0.wp.com/cdnrss.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HTC-One-14-640x426.jpg?resize=640%2C426 "HTC One Two (One 2) Could Be A Series Of Phones, Not Just A Single Device [Rumor]")
We have heard the rumors that HTC is planning on launching a successor to the HTC One of 2013, and if the rumors are to be believed, there is a good chance the handset could be known as the HTC One Two (or HTC One 2, whichever you prefer). However according to recent reports, it has been suggested that the HTC One Two will not be the name of the handset itself, but rather it could be the name of a lineup of HTC devices. Back in 2012 HTC launched the HTC One series of handsets which consisted of the One X, One S, and One V, so we suppose this would not be completely out of the question.
According to the reported which was originated from an analyst from Taipei, Wilson Miao, the handset will allegedly come with separate lenses that have been designed for either low or high lighting conditions. However given that recently leaked photos of the HTC One’s successor does not seem to point to separate lenses, take this one with a grain of salt for now. While a HTC publicist was reported as saying that “it’s kind of too early” to be discussing 2014’s lineup, analysts are expecting its successor to come around March 2014.
The HTC One was announced earlier this year so we would have expected to see a similar timeframe in 2014 as well, but since CES and MWC 2014 are around the corner, perhaps we will learn more there, so check back with us then for more details.
