Editor ’s letter

March 2013

In the mean time, while we continue to serve up

piping hot tech from the corners of the earth, you

might want to gorge on some of the cities that every

gadget-loving globetrotter worth his salt must visit

before he goes EOL. It’s not simply about high-end

televisions and restaurants with iPad menus. You may

feast your eyes on p70 to know more.

If you prefer to commune with tech in the great

outdoors, we have something special for you too –

GoPro’s Hero3: Black Edition, one that records in 4K.

So what if you can’t afford a 4K telly today. You can at

least be ready with the right kind of content. Strap that

helmet on, Sir, the deep dive’s on p44.

While on the way to your dream destination you

might also want to visit p66 and pick a wireless

portable speaker for yourself. It’ll come handy.

We have something for everyone, including couch

potatoes. Let go of your popcorn tub and thumb your

way to p68 to be surrounded by full HD projectors of

all shapes and sizes. And if you prefer to just space out,

might we interest you in the impending launch of the

Virgin Galactic (p84), ticket prices and what the future

holds for the ‘middle class’ folk who would also like to

touch the stars. Whichever road or page you take... bon

voyage and do send us a postcard or two.

The afterglow of this year’s CES is yet to

wear off and we are going to be awash with

new tech and uber gadgets. We are referring

to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Even this “resting phase” has not allowed us

to cool our heels... and don’t we love that!

The gadget in question that kept us on our toes was

none other than the BlackBerry Z10. For a company

that has struggled to regain the attention of buyers

more inclined to shop for other smartphones, the

BlackBerry Z10 deinitely seems to break a lot of ice

and new ground. If you are not convinced, bust a move

to p10. Be assured we will have more in the April issue.
