WhatsApp over 250 million users

The messaging application used the world over has reached a record 250 million monthly active users. It is the first time that WhatsApp reveals an approximate number of users of its popular application, and the figure impressed.

In fact, the 250 million users mark WhatsApp overcome in itself brilliant, Twitter users, who last December reached 200 million active users. And threaten the record of Skype, which has 280 million monthly active users, according to the Wall Street Journal .



WhatsApp's success is even more striking if we consider that the application was born only four years ago and, unlike many of its rivals, not spend money on marketing. This growth is a concern WhatsApp for other companies, especially telecommunications, they got huge profits with text messages, and others like Facebook, who base much of their success in the exchange of messages between users.

The steady increase in the number of users WhatsApp has not suffered by the controversy generated three months ago, when the company decided to charge 89 cents a year to use the application. The ability to send unlimited messages without having to pay the high rates of SMS has increased its popularity month, despite competition from rivals such as Line or WeChat.

Another reason for its success is to be a cross-platform application. WhatsApp is available for iPhone, Android devices, BlackBerry and Windows Phone, among others. Currently on the U.S. ranked 31st among the free apps for Android.

The new iPhone 5 will be low cost, but not cheap

Those who anxiously awaited the arrival of the iPhone 5S as an opportunity to get an iPhone for the price of low-end smartphone will be disappointed. The CEO of Pegatron , the company that will manufacture the new smartphone from Apple, has recognized that this will have a lower price than high end mobiles, but that in no way going to be "cheap".

In a meeting with shareholders today, the head of Pegatron, TH Tung, said the so-called "low cost iPhone" will be a reality this year, but it will not be cheap. The new phone will be more of a mid-range product with a relatively high price, as reported by Apple Insider .

Tung manifesto that disagrees with rumors they define as "cheap" low-end product of Apple, ensuring that the "price will remain high." The manager said the products currently on the market may lead to a number of names, but "cheap" is not an adjective that should be associated with the Apple iPhone more affordable.

The Pegatron CEO said the price of the new phone would be "quite high" but did not disclose the specific price ranges. Tung said that compared to feature phones, cheaper smartphones today are capable of doing many things that justify higher prices.

Tung's comments are something to consider, as the company directed handle at least part of the manufacture of iPhone 5S. Pegatron expects to hire 40,000 workers in the second half of this year, in order to produce that now seems so-called low-cost iPhone.

Android will start to take control of our Android devices

Technology is moving in a direction that I love. Not only do I love it, but while I think it should be. I am among those who value a device software that your hardware twice. One of the things I tired see today are televisions that cost € 3,000, which is a specification brutality. Then go into your menu (or operating system) and find that you have a shit in his hands weighing 60 kilos.

You see the same TV with a decent operating system would be able to arrange life and go around the world. Long ago I think all of home devices should be connected together. People would love to see how you can "throw" a video from your iPad to your Apple TV.

To do this action mega-cool, I've spent almost € 1,000 on something that is not even own those devices. The merit of this action we have the operating system, and you should not need that expensive to buy 2 devices to interact easily with each other. All this because I thought the news that I will discuss is closely related to what we will face in the coming years. A future that I have really wanted to attend.

Android in the soup We have 2 updates on this topic. Samsung has announced the first dual screen camera with Wi-Fi and control via Android phones. A story that at first glance might go unnoticed is actually a sample of what we will see very repeatedly in the coming years. The second news is also the first webcam appears telyHD based system called Android.

With it you do not need connecting to a computer, and have Skype application pre-installed. Surely you noticed the similarity that may come to have a compact camera with a mobile phone. Do not you see? There are phone models that have been tried to resemble a camera. Now they put a camera Wi-Fi geolocation ... It is easily seen that it is something that converges. But can you realize that a camera has many fewer features than a phone. The why is very clear, and is called operating system. We fail to see a camera and a television camera as TV. Both are electronic devices, each with an operating system, a processor, an audio system ...

Different technologies themselves, but they share much. Differences based on the operating system. If we put Android to a TV, the TV will have internet access, as 2000 € from now. The difference is that Android will have a browser with conditions, and current television browsers have a litter. Some applications trash the manufacturer puts us to look capable of anything, and even management of bad network connections. It is only an example, but it happens all home electronics. Media players, cameras, televisions, stereos, phones, intercoms ...

When all this is connected, is what we call an automated home. It works great because everything is synchronized and means devices together. It happens because there is a core operating system that knows how to lead the rest. With today's news, or with the announcement by Google on Android @ Home this spring, we see that Android is a good candidate for the operating system or unifying generic where all others converge, or where all others are supported. Lighter looks even when you look at that makes working with Android have departments with other electronic devices that we usually have at home. This is the case of Samsung, the protagonist of the story, but also from LG and Sony. I guess now you see what I meant by my introduction. I've always missed good feeling between devices. Not think I should pay that same feeling based on brand and price of gold.

All should be well, like ASUS laptop with Windows 7 with a tower means mounted unbranded parts and Windows 7, and even with a Mac at last, after all, they are all very similar devices. As I said, I have really wanted this future. Do you guys think it will take this direction, or be diverted?
