Tumblr is taking it back to the cool days with their Dial A Post Service. You can now make an audio post on the social network by calling a toll-free number. All you have to do to try this feature is link your phone number to your account and then you’re ready to go.
Go try it! Be a rebel and talk your head off on the world wide web!
I’m not sure if HP is asking Apple to sue them but with this new release I doubt Apple will look past this. HP’s new tablet called the HP 8, looks identically like the iPad mini. It even looks to have the same 7.85-inch IPS 1024×768 display.
It has a reasonable price, sitting at $170. The tablet as an Allwinner quad-core ARM chip, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, a microSD slot (supporting up to 32GB cards) and running Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean). It also has a 3,800mAh battery that promises up to seven hours of use.
Sound appealing yet?
Samsung has just announced they have entered the music streaming market with their Galaxy exclusive app Milk. Milk Music is a radio service much like Pandora and iTunes Radio. What makes this app really cool is that it is ad-free and there isn’t a subscription fee. The app limits you to six skips every hour but according to Samsung you will not here any ads.
The primary feature to Milk is a large dial that list nine genres of your choice. The dial lets you fine-tune your station to include new music, popular music or music you have favorited in the past.
Milk Music is now available on Google Play. You can read the full press release below.

The smartwatch era is having a rather rough start with bulky designs and what I call a very “un-fashionable” look. Samsung’s first Galaxy Gear was a disappointment to me with the huge camera sitting on the strap. Their gear fit was a major step up but nothing to really throw my money at. What I and many other people want is something that doesn’t compromise design for performance. Gábor Balogh’s concept design for a smartwatch probably answers hours prayers.
The concept is simple, a round watch with a large screen that has plenty of room for notifications, health applications, music playback and more. Its a very unique and attractive design. Check out more images below.
