<span style="color: #444444;">On the evening of March 14th, Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 in New York City. Many of the new features were showcased, like:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Smart Pause, which will pause video you are watching if you get distracted and look away.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Dual Camera, allows you to insert yourself in the picture/video you are taking.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">S Translator, supports 9 languages in text and voice. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Knox, the enterprise security feature that allows you to separate personal from business content/apps.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Air View/Gesture, that allows you to interact with the phone without touching the screen, and instead, waving your hand in front of it or hovering your finger over it. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #444444;">I chatted on CTV News about the new smartphone, which should be available in Canada in Q2 from virtually all carriers.

<span style="color: #444444;">"It's a New Day in the History of BlackBerry," said Thorsten Heins on Jan 30th at the launch of BlackBerry10.

So, you have probably acquired a few new toys (a media tablet, netbook, and/or laptop) in the last year or so. That also means you probably have some old devices gathering dust somewhere. <br /><br />Here's a great solution: consider donating your gently used laptop to <a href="http://www.stlonline.org/">Sky's the Limit.<br /></a><br />Not only will they pick up the devices anywhere in the GTA OR pay for shipping outside the GTA, you will be making a difference in the life of a Canadian student as well. Sky's the Limit provides gently used laptops to students in Canada who are under-resourced. This includes new immigrants, refugees, street involved youth and students with disabilities. Here's what you need to know:<br /><br />- Devices should be under 4 years old<br />- Over 500 devices were donated last year<br />- You will receive a tax receipt for your donation<br /><br />Only laptops are accepted today, but they are considering expanding to accept media tablets in the near future. So as you upgrade to the newest sexy tablet on the market, hold onto your old one, and let Sky's the Limit give it a good home. </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family: "Helv","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:Helv;font-size:10.0pt;color:black;" ><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"></span></span></p>Krista Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12509709482013635650noreply@blogger.com0
