Jolla shows it’s upcoming Sailfish OS in video tour!
It must be one of the most anticipated OS launches in year 2013. Jolla told that they are going to launch first Sailfish OS operated smartphones in coming months. In this video (after the break), Jolla shows it’s Sailfish OS to Engadget. It’s already know that Sailfish builds on MeeGo quite effectively, and this video shows that there will be a lot appeal. As you know Sailfish will be gesture centric, and many native apps will respond to gesture commands even when those apps are presented as “cards” on the home screen. All the apps seems to be very responsive, and those apps you’ll see in this video are fairly representative in the final build of the Sailfish OS. Jolla won’t show us much in the video except contacts app, music app, photos and home screens.

Samsung reportedly launching Tizen-based phones on NTT DoCoMo in 2013!
NTT DoCoMo is partnering with Samsung to develop phones running the open-source Tizen operating system, according to report from from Japan’s Daily Yomiuri. First Tizen-based smartphone would be launched next year. According to the Yomiuri, other mobile phone carriers are also getting behind developing Tizen because they “fear” Apple’s and Google’s hegemony. Tizen operating system was first introduced back in September 2011, and came about when Nokia’s MeeGo OS was dumbed. Tizen’s main developers are Samsung and Intel, a major US semiconductor manufacturer. Also the development of apps for the new OS would be much more simpler.

Hackulous, the pirated iOS app community, closes it’s service!
Hackulous, service, which provides free apps for download for jailbraked iOS devices, has been shut down. In statement on the Hackulous site, team tells that they are sad to announce that they are closing the service. The Hackulous repository used for Jailbreak app Cydia has also gone offline, taking Installous and all the apps with it. There’s still plenty of users in that service, while the site told why they closed it’s service, it’s wont make much sense. Torrentfreak points out that lack of iPhone 5 jailbreak and long wait times for updated jailbreaks might be the biggest reasons for closing the service. Check out the statement after the break.

Editors Note: Happy New Year to all TonisTechBlog’s readers!
Happy New Year to all TonisTechBlog’s readers. The year 2012 was huge for TonisTechBlog in all areas, news, new readers, daily views and other visibility. TonisTechBlog grew rapidly and was mentioned in multiple tech sites, such as in TechCrunch, The Verge, Engadget, Cnet and many others, which help us to grew. I’m expecting that TonisTechBlog will grow even more in 2013 as there is going to be many new ideas and features to launch next year. I’m also going to keep updating Samsung Galaxy update schedules, and those sites are indeed very important to me as i want people to know when their device is receiving the updates. Im also going to do more interviews with interesting persons in tech area, i recently did interview with Jolla’s advisor and consultant Jukka Eklund, which was very popular post.

These new photos also shows that Ascend Mate has onscreen buttons and curved back, which makes the device much more easier to hold in hand. Supposed thickness of the device is about 9.9mm.
Huawei is making Ascend Mate in order to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Note lineup, that has not seen any actual competition so far. Of course there’s also LG’s 5.5-inch Intuition, but it hasn’t been very popular. Check out more photos and specs after the break.

Rumor: Next generation Galaxy S device to have S Pen and launch in April 2013?!
Next generation Samsung Galaxy S device is rumored to have S Pen, according to report from Enuri. Galaxy S(IV) is also going launch in April 2013, this is company’s action in order to bring Galaxy S device line closer to Note lineup. Enuri also posted some pretty nefty features that Galaxy S(IV) is going to have, including 5-inch AMOLED display with screen resolution of 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, a Exynos 5440 quad-core processor, a 13MP camera on the back and finally the smartphone is only 9.1mm thick.
For me, including S Pen in Galaxy S lineup would not make any sense, i highly doubt than Samsung would include S Pen.
