Tough to review a tablet when the picture is not that rosy for the sector. But will new year bring some change in fortunes? Stats are yet to come out regarding performance during the October-December quarter, but before that, global sales of tablets have gone down for consecutive four quarters, with July-September sales showing a decline of 12.6 percent year-on-year basis. Global shipments of tablets were expected to decline by 8.1% in 2015 as compared to last year. That’s the industry scenario in midst of which Taiwanese IT giant ASUS has launched a new range of its tablets- ZenPads. Actually this is a part of series of launches ASUS has done across its all platforms— including ZenFone 2— in the last few months. And indeed all of them have been impressive, to say the least.

Whether you are above the concrete jungles of NCR or Pir-Panjal mountains of Kashmir or over Arabian Sea in Goa- its fascinating everytime. Actually lure of capturing images from window seat during flight pre-occupies my mind so much that I make all effort to choose a window seat during web check-in. Do you do that?

That means, while going to Lucknow fro Delhi, I will always lik

Hence, I refused to switch over even when Android was ruling the mobile world and people around me were using Android based phones in full flow. Since my bonding was more with original Nokia, hence it didn’t automatically passed on to Windows when it took over Nokia. So much so that I kept cringed to my Nokia C7 even when I had accidentally cracked its screen by pressing it against my hotel room keys kept in back pocket of my jeans sometime back when I was on travel. So, switching a phone itself was a big deal for me, let alone changing the brand. But then I had no options left. It was in this situation that, I was given a ASUS phone to...

Putting up together an excellent smart phone is not an easy task and putting up and excellent show to launch an excellent phone really needs extra smartness. I never thought that Asus as a tech brand and Zenfone as a smart phone is so popular until I landed at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in New Delhi on last Thursday. When I had tweeted about the event earlier that day, one of my followers had actually asked- ‘they are launching in a stadium? Great.’ Actually even till then, I had not anticipated it to be that big. Had been to many launches, hence JLN stadium was for me just a venue. I knew Sonakshi (Sinha) was coming but then that’s normal for various launches these days to rope in a Bollywood star to get extra coverage. (view the slideshow) But it was real big. It was not just a f...
