Photosphere in action.

It was a cool nifty feature introduced in the Android 4.2, where the user can create a full blown panorama in 3D with their new Android phone. The how-to-do is a very simple thing to  learn where the user needs to start the camera, select the Photo-Sphere mode, and start aligning the camera to let the on-screen-dots fall into the circles. The feature is really cool and will come handy while doing casual camera photography during vacation or parties.

After the insanely successful game, Angry birds; the mobile game developing studio Rovio is back with another sensational game Amazing Alex. If it was all the bird slinging rage against the egg stealing piggies till now, Rovio is introducing us to Alex, the smart school kid.
There is nothing ground breaking in the underlying game concept as there are already some physics based games available for android. The game definitely looks childish, but if you love this genre of games, you're going to love this too. Apart from the obvious kiddish looks, the game is smooth and fluid.
