Hasta La Gadget!

[MWC 2017] A lot of headphone manufacturers typically pride themselves on how much outside noise their headphones can block. This is important because cancelling outside noise means that users can hear their music better, which does help to improve the overall listening experience.

However Sony seems to be going the opposite direction. At MWC 2017, the company unveiled the Xperia Ear Open Style Concept headphones. Unlike normal headphones, one of the goals of these headphones is to allow outside/background noise in. The idea is that it can be used for day-to-day tasks such as interfacing with voice assistant platforms, or it could be useful for those who exercise outdoors and wouldn’t mind having some outside noise leak in so that they can listen out to traffic or if someone calls out to them.

However at the moment the headphones exist as a prototype, with Sony waiting to see how the media and the internet reacts to them presumably before deciding or not to commit to manufacturing these devices. It’s an interesting concept and as we mentioned above, there are scenarios in which you will probably have a use for them, but if you wanted something that is strictly music-only, then maybe these headphones might not necessarily be for you.

[MWC 2017] Following the proliferation of smartphones and seeing the success of Android and iOS, many companies decided that they too would try to create a mobile platform that would take over the industry. Unfortunately no one has really come that close, and one of those attempts was Sailfish OS by Jolla.

However it seems that while Sailfish OS might not be as dominant as its creators would have liked, it looks like the platform could be finding a second lease on life on Sony’s Xperia phones. In an announcement by the company, Sailfish OS will now support Sony’s Open Devices Program.

What this means is that for Sony Xperia X owners, they’ll have an option in the future to use Sailfish OS on their smartphones instead of Android if they choose to. Of course there will be limitations when it comes to using Sailfish OS as you might not be able to get features or apps that you’re dependent on with Android, so in reality this seems to be aimed more at developers and tinkerers who are curious as to what Sailfish OS has to offer.

According to Karl-Johan Dahlström, Director of Sony’s Developer Program, “We support innovation and development on our open-source platform. The overall aim of Sony’s Open Devices program is to build the strongest possible ecosystem of unique software experiences for advanced users and developers – and collaborating with Jolla will only serve to further strengthen that offering.” The first release is expected to take place by the end of Q2 2017.

Do you enjoy watching videos on that sharp and crisp retina iPad screen? Not only is it convenient to be able to carry around your iPad and watch videos whenever you want to, but the quality is so good that you may even only ever want to watch videos on your iPad.

If you come across a video that you feel you want to save, such as a particularly useful tutorial or a humorous online streaming video – that can be an issue. Although you may just want to save it so that you can watch it offline when your iPad isn’t connected to the internet, the fact of the matter is that most online streaming video platforms don’t give you that option.

Assuming you have a Mac and the standard lightning-to-USB cable handy however, you can easily record and save various videos directly from your iPad screen with Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac. To get stated and use it as an iPad screen recorder all you need to do is set the recording parameters by following these steps:

1. Launch Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac and select ‘Record Screencast’.
2. Use the lightning-to-USB cable to connect your Mac to your iPad and wait for a green check mark to appear on the mobile device icon – indicating the connection was successful.
3. Expand the ‘Capture Area’ list and find your iPad then choose whether you want to record its screen in portrait or landscape.
4. To record audio from your iPad, make sure there is a green check mark on the ‘System Audio’ icon, or click it once if not.
5. Click ‘REC’ when you are ready to start recording after a 5 second delay and play the video on your iPad at the same time.
6. Click ‘Stop’ when the recording is done, and ‘Save as’ to save it.

While that should take care of everything you need to do to record videos from your iPad – there is much more that you can do with Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac. Not only is it a screen recorder, but it also has video editing features that you can use to cut and join video segments, improve the video quality, insert animated transitions, include background music, and much more.

With the help of these features you will be able to tweak and improve your video, or even produce professional and high quality videos of your own. Rest assured Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac will make it easy for you to apply any feature you require, and all you need to do is spend a minute or two experimenting and getting a feel for it.
