Google Nexus 2013 Concept

I guess everybody of you knew that Google has his own smartphone. Now I will show you the concept of the newest Nexus smartphone. Hope it will be produced because it is really cool and has many interesting and good features. The men who is responsible for this concept is Bob Freking.

That is how the new smartphone should look like. I love the design with the Nexus logo on the backside. The lights are on when you are using your phone or when you get a call or a message.
Also as you can see the wireless has Google colors; actually Google is working on his own wireless "Google Wireless".

As in the concept described this phone will be featuring a 4.8-inch touchscreen display with 1600 x 900 pixel resolution.
Also it has a courtesy of a 1.6GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 application processor inside which would increase performance levels.
The photo snapper on the back has 13.1-megapixel and is capable of recording videos in full HD resolution. To make video calls you can use the 3MP camera on the front.

Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie would be the software for the smartphone and you don't have to deal with ads from wirleless carriers you get just the whole Google experience.

The price is also not that bad. You pay for the unlocked device 299$ and if you would take it with "Google Wireless" it will cost you just 49$.

So all in all sounds like a great device. Hopefully it will be produced so start saving money for this awesome smartphone from Google. To bring this to an end i will enclosed show you a short video about the concept of this phone.

Analytics

Over the past month I have been introduced to a new analytics powerhouse called Tableau. This is a product developed by Tableau Analytics. I decided to use this product for one week on for every reporting need that I would typically use Microsoft Excel or Access for. This weekly trial has showed me that MS excel and Access are relatively elementary compared to Tableau.

On Tableau's website, they state that the product is "Fast Analytics for everyone." After one weeks use, I can validate this statement. The software makes it extremely easy to start driving any sort of charting in order to see trends. Often times, I was thinking that this software could be closely compared to Google Analytics, only for non internet business data. It offers many of the same type of reporting Google does and also many more reporting options.

The software also takes a cool approach to publishing reports. After a report is created, it can be published to a Tableau server. Once on the server, anyone with an internet browser is able to view the report and its underlying data. Publishing a report in this fashion makes it much easier for managers to view the report. Instead of relying on sending around excel files, it just takes one link. The software also has much cleaner lines and is much more visually pleasing for the viewer.

Overall Tableau is proving to be a great product for business analytics and I would recommend it to anyone!!
