consior th
irony in naming thir
nwst smartphon
On M8 - w'v all
haro claims that
smartphons
oistract us rom
living our livs, but
th ioa that your
ovic might b your
only rino is a littl worrying!
Vith th imminnt rlas o th
Samsung Galaxy S5 ano Sony Xpria
Z2, th markt or top-no /noroio
hanosts is now mor comptitiv
than vr. /t irst glanc, th On M8
looks broaoly similar to its
procssor, th HTC On. Howvr,
its slightly largr 5in scrn
(comparo to 4.7in) oos mak th
hanost a bit biggr ano th ront
buttons ar now part o th oisplay
rathr than sitting |ust blow it. Many
will b plaso to s that th nw
mool also incluos a MicroSD slot,
ltting usrs xpano th ovic's total
storag to mor than 28GP.
ln trms o its harowar, th HTC
On M8 packs a biggr punch than its
littl brothr in almost vry sns.
Th phon has a 2.3 GHz Oualcomm
Snaporagon 8C
procssor chip,
combino with 2GP
o R/M, making it
staggringly ast.
/lthough th nw
ovic's camra
incluos th
sam kino o
4 mgapixl
'Ultrapixl'
snsor uso in
th HTC On, it is now
accompanio by a 2MP opth-o-ilo
snsor that lts usrs tak th kino o
shots you woulo normally only
associat with DSLRs. Furthrmor,
th ront camra has bn upgraoo
to a 5MP snsor, which will b
apprciato by thos who lik to tak
sl portraits.
Th On M8's battry has bn
upgraoo, with 3CCm/h mor

pr cnt largr than th battry in
/ppl's iPhon 5s. Th ront-acing

avid Crookes taks a closr look
at Tizn

O
WHAT lS lT7
A
lt may souno lik a sot orink, but
Tizn OS (www.tizn.org) is an
opn-sourc oprating systm baso on
Linux. lt has th potntial to rival
/noroio, iOS, PlackPrry ano Vinoows
Phon, bcaus it can b run on
smartphons, tablts, ntbooks, smart
TVs ano in-car inotainmnt systms.
O
WHERE HAS lT COME
FROM7
A
Tizn has bn in ovlopmnt or a
coupl o yars as an opn-sourc
pro|ct within th Linux Founoation
(www.linuxounoation.org) unor th
nam Tizn /ssociation (www
.tiznassociation.org). lts backrs incluo
Huawi, Fu|itsu, Orang, Panasonic ano
Vooaon, but Samsung currntly
appars to b th strongst chrlaor
or Tizn.
O
WHY WAS lT CREATED7
A
Crtain companis in th mobil
inoustry sm kn to cut tis with
Googl. /lthough th /noroio oprating
systm has srvo th smartphon ano
tablt markt wll, it puts a grat oal o
control in th hanos o th sarch giant.
Vhat's mor, whil
Samsung has com up
with som massivly
popular ovics, such as
th Galaxy S rang, it's
strugglo to lock usrs
into using its own
srvics. lnstao, thy
buy apps rom Googl
Play, stram songs
through Googl Music,
ano sno ano rciv mails using Gmail,
whil Samsung's own apps ar largly
ignoro. Googl, in turn, raks in a
halthy proit o which th ovic
manuacturrs woulo lik a largr slic.
O
HASN'T SAMSUNG
TRlED THlS BEFORE7
A
lt has, with an OS callo Paoa
(www.baoa.com), but ovlopmnt
stoppo in Fbruary 2C3. Th intntion
was to us Paoa alongsio /noroio ano
Vinoows Phon in Samsung
smartphons, but Paoa has now bn
mrgo into th Tizn pro|ct.
O
lS TlZEN BElNG USED
NOW7
A
Ys. Th irst proouct baso on
Tizn was Samsung's NX3CCM
smart camra (bit.ly/samsungnx342),
which wnt on sal in South Kora ano
th US last yar. Manwhil, Systna
crato a Tizn OS tablt that's availabl
in Japan. Th most high-proil prooucts
so ar - ano th ons that hav got many
popl asking ustions about Tizn -
ar th Samsung Gar Fit smartbano ano
Gar 2 smartwatchs, which wr
announco at this yar's Mobil Vorlo
Congrss (as covro in last issu's
lnstant Exprt, bit.ly/wbusr34). Tizn
has also bn sn running on prototyp
vrsions o orthcoming smartphons.
O
WHAT lS TlZEN LlKE7
A
lt's a bit lik /noroio with som
lmnts o iOS. lt has homscrn
wiogts, a notiication tray ano an apps
orawr. Dynamic boxs on th
homscrn can b rsizo ano Tizn
closly supports wb apps as wll as
mor traoitional, installabl apps. Th
app icons ar rouno rathr than suar
ano it coms complt with a stanoaro
st o apps, incluoing Mssags, Contacts
ano Camra.

WlLL THERE BE A
DlFFERENT APP STORE7
A
Ys, thr will. ln oror to builo up a

This asko ovloprs to proouc nativ

For xampl, music srvic 7Digital

QeneraIIy aren't free, in fact, they're often pretty
expensive. hich is why an advert for a "free iad"

However, thanks to the web, there are pIenty of
everyday products and services that you can now Qet hoId
of - from fiIms and food to bets and broadband -
provided you know where to Iook. Many of these don't
require you to spend anythinQ to cIaim the freebie and
won't ask you to siQn over your personaI detaiIs to
unscrupuIous marketinQ companies.
!n this feature, we reveaI our favourite sources of web

ccording to research
commissioned b
GoogIe, 62 per cent of
the totaI UK popuIation owns a
smartphone, and this figure is
expected to rise to 75 per cent
in 2014. Of those owners, 74 per
cent sa the use their device to
browse the web on a daiI basis.
So out of an estimated UK
popuIation of 63 miIIion, 29
miIIion peopIe are using their
smartphones to access the web
ever da. And remember, those
figures are just for the UK - most
websites attract visitors from aII
over the worId.
These high figures make it
cIear that if ou own a
website, it's essentiaI
that ou make it
mobiIe-friendI, so it
dispIas properI on
smartphones and
