The Inside Scoop on Inside Hook



Ever feel as busy as that guy? With everything going on these days, it can be hard to remember to pick up my dry cleaning and brush my teeth, let alone plan the more fun aspects of life. That’s why I love Inside Hook’s new app, The Perfect Year. I can flip through awesome trip ideas like dune hang gliding or swimming in Victoria Falls right from my smartphone and save my favorites so I don’t forget anything. Even better, the app is practically my own personal assistant—I can add trips to my calendar or send them to my travel buddies to get them on board. And when you’re ready to pull the trigger on that shark diving expedition, you can set it up directly through the app. You’ll be jumping into that shark cage before you know it.

So whether you’re actively planning your next vacation or just an armchair traveler looking to escape the working world for a little while, definitely check out the Perfect Year, and start crossing things off your bucket list today.

 The first quarter hasn’t even ended yet and we’re already seeing the influx of some seriously exciting devices peeking through the veiled curtain. Some of these handsets have made their debut on the global market but are yet to hit the Indian stores. Some of them are far more mysterious as we’ve only been teased with a few specifications and details but are yet to see the actual devices. So without further ado, here’s this month's list of hot new smartphones to look out for.

Samsung Galaxy S4

To kick things off, Samsung’s mysterious S4 has been a subject of much discussion and speculation for the last couple of months. It was inevitable that the company would be launching a new Galaxy S device and the time for launch is almost upon us. Not a whole lot is known about the device, but from what we do know, it’s slated to be the phone that will take the world by storm, just like its predecessors. From the leaks and details falling through the “cracks”, we know that the Galaxy S4 will feature a 5410 Octa chip with a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU and 2GB RAM. The system has been reported to have clocked in at 1.8GHz with a 4+4 core setup, which is quite impressive. All this will run with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The rumours also say that the handset will feature eye tracking for scrolling through pages.
