Karbonn to launch Dual OS - Android-With-Windows Smartphones

Homegrown mobile phone-maker Karbonn Mobiles is all set to launch dual-OS (operating system) devices, which will support both Android and Windows, by June.
The company has just signed the licence agreement with Microsoft to make Windows-based phones and will put this along with its existing Android system to bring out the dual-OS phones in about six months, the company's chairman Sudhir Hasija said.
This comes soon after Nokia moved out of its Windows-only strategy to launch low-cost smartphones that run on the Android operating system.
"Microsoft has eased the regulations and is opening up its platform for other players. We signed the agreement two days ago and will launch a range of Windows phones in about three months," Hasija said. The dual-OS phones will be out by June, and will target office-going professionals and 'techies', he said. The company is yet to zero in on the price range.

Karbonn, which at present sources all their products from Taiwan and Korea, is actively working on setting up a manufacturing unit in India, with a capacity to make one million phones a month. While local manufacturing will not give any cost benefits, it will help with faster turnaround of new launches in the market, Hasija said. The company is considering Tamil Nadu to set up its factory since the state has access to ports and a precedent in the supply chain for mobile phone manufacturing with the Nokia factory.

New launches apart, the company will also focus on driving up sales using apps that promote augmented reality. On Friday, Karbonn launched a range of mobile and tablet apps that use augmented reality to bring out features and games related to characters from the movie Kochadaiiyaan with Rajinikanth in the lead role.

The company will also soon start making interactive hoardings and newspaper-advertisements where the characters in the hoarding/newspaper will come alive in 3D through the app on the phone.

‘Angry Birds Go!' Best Android Game

 Rovio’s Angry Birds Go is off to a fast start on Android, on the App Store and Google Play since its launch earlier this month. The game sees the franchise’s famous pigs and birds racing downhill in go-karts, collecting coins and blasting off of speed ramps as they compete to win each race.Since each race takes place on a mostly downhill course, acceleration is handled by gravity and speed ramps, and players only need to steer. The game supports both tilt and touch controls for steering, and karts can be upgraded with better handling (along with acceleration, top speed and other factors) with the coins players collect in each race.
Races in Angry Birds Go come in multiple forms, from traditional races against other karts to solo bomb races, among others. Each event rewards up to three stars, and comes with an individual leaderboard for tracking a player’s high scores against others.
While Angry Birds Go is already a success, Rovio has announced plans to update the game with more content in the future. “In spring 2014 it’ll be bringing multiplayer to Angry Birds Go.
It takes hardly 168MB of Memory Size.
