Amazon has silently informed its marketplace sellers that it will no longer be retailing the Chromecast or Apple TV streaming video devices that compete with the likes of Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. With the decision, Amazon on October 29th, scroched Google and Apple by banning the two companies’ streaming TV products from its online store. For what? Amazon answers, it’s only to “avoid customer confusion“. Great and what next?

Amazon-Fire-Tablet-Family-main

If not the only reason for banning both the Google Chromecast and ATV is up there aforementioned, and even sent an email to marketplace sellers notifying them of the upcoming change. Plans to disallow new listings for the products and the site will remove existing inventory on the sais date. Amazon is citing compatibility with its Prime Video streaming service, which is not available on both the devices from biggies like Android maker and Mac maker, which could be another reason to ban both the HDMI streaming hardwares.

Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime,” Amazon said in the e-mail. “It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion.”

Nevermind the fact that Amazon sells the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, two products that compete directly with Chromecast and Apple TV. Amazon therby wants everyone to know that it has the customers’ best interests in mind, whereas the other set-top boxes and consoles, including the likes of Roku, Microsoft, and Playstation, do have apps that allow customers to stream Amazon Prime Video and thus won’t be affected by the new ban.

If Apple and Google don’t want to play nice and support Prime video, then Amazon doesn’t want to play nice and carry their stupid products. Finally clarified, isn’t it? Weired part here is that Google has never withhold support from Amazon, any app, including Prime, can built to work with Chromecast. But unfortunately, Amazon never wanted to make Prime work with Chromecast. It’s up to the amazing Amazon decision.

For Apple customers, this means the new fourth-generation Apple TV will not be available for purchase via Amazon.com. Suggesting that the ATV 4 will not be gaining an Amazon video app and will continue to be incompatible with the Amazon Prime Video service.

Let’s see who competes with whom in the future, as Google has although introduced new Chromecast 2 and Chromecast Audio, and Apple with its Apple TV 4. Now what Amazon planning to rival both?

With the support for Slide Over also means that end-users can briefly interact with yet another application whilst keeping Skype running. In addition to Slide Over and Split View, Microsoft has also joined the growing list of developers that are supporting iOS 9’s Quick Reply functionality.

It is something like just after initially being introduced in the native Messages app in iOS 8, Apple has now offered the API to third-party developers in order to integrate it into iOS apps. Skype also joins the likes of the official Twitter and Facebook Messenger apps in allowing users to quickly reply to incoming instant messages from a banner notification without actually having to invoke the app or leave a different app that may be running inthe background.

Try this out –  Settings > Notifications > Skype > Allow Notifications. Then choose whether you want Banners.

Both the iPad and iPhone users can reply to chats from lockscreen notifications, or start one from iOS 9’s Spotlight search. Update is finished off with the introduction of new Spotlight search features. Tapping on a Skype contact located in search results will launch directly into a chat and initiate conversations with those contacts directly from Spotlight with iOS 9. Skype is all about communication and making said one as easy as possible, this latest update shows that Microsoft is clearly serious about not only progressing Skype as a service, but nevertheless, alos fully embracing the new technologies offered by Apple.

What do you say?

Apple Acquires UK-based Speech Technology Startup VocalIQ

0

The iOS, iPhone and Mac maker Apple Inc., according to the Financial Times has purchased VocalIQ, an artificial-intelligence startup that could help make its smartphone users’ interactions with the virtual assistant Siri more accurately and naturally. VocalIQ is actually located in the United Kingdom that has developed an un-refined language API to allow computers and people to have a more unique dialogue.

Those of you who aren’t aware of VocalIQ, is the company that has developed a self-learning dialogue API built on 10 years of natural language research, belief tracking, decision making, and of course message generation.

Apple-VocalIQ-purchase-main

It’s not clear as now on how Apple’s acquisition of VocalIQ is going to be and how the Cupertino-based company is going to use its technology. But it’s likely Apple will use the API to improve its voice-based personal assistant, Siri. The cource who claims this also believes Apple could sue the tech for its upcoming car project, as VocalIQ specialized in in-car applications among other things.

While VocalIQ’s speech processing and machine learning technology could be incorporated into devices from wearables to the connected home, the company was particularly focused on in-car applications. This included a collaboration with General Motors.

In a blog earlier this year, VocalIQ described how a “conversational voice-dialog system” in a car’s navigation system could prevent drivers from becoming distracted by looking at screens. Its “self- learning” technology allows “real conversation between human and the internet of things”, VocalIQ wrote.

Apple bought VocalIQ Ltd., a UK-based software maker is said to be also working on ways to improve computers’ ability to understand human speech and to “speak” more genuinely. Terms of the deal eren’t disclosed. VocalIQ says on its website that its software helps computers speak more naturally by learning from each interaction with a human, employing an artificial-intelligence technique called deep learning, and the software also seeks to help PCs better understand commands and their context.

The iPad maker increasingly hopes to use VocalIQ’s voice commands to control everything from the automobiles to robots to Internet-connected devices in homes. While voice-recognition technology is however improving, engineers say computers have a long way to go to consistently understand huamans’ intentions and replyt in natural ways.

Ironically,  VocalIQ has criticized Siri as a mere “toy” and that all the existing voice assistants in the market have been well below the consumer expectations and unable to understand context. What’s the exact difference between VocalIQ’s system and traditional speech-recognition servuces like Siri and Cortana is its ability to learn.

vocaliq-iApple

In a blog post, VocalIQ speaks,

The reason for this state of affairs is that while Apple, Google and the some others have mastered how the use machine learning for speech-recognition, they are still stuck with medieval approach when it comes of conversational voice dialog. They are still using pre-programmed flow-chart based response that don’t learn.

The consumer demand for a self-learning multi-domain conversational voice system where consumers can freely talk about movies, restaurants, music, hotel bookings and the meaning of life, is huge and undeniable. The first one to meet that demand will rule the smartphone and wearables market for the next decade.

Apple confirmed its purchase of VocalIQ with its usual statement: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.” Later we have to witness on how its going to be.

What ever reason there to make money from the smartphone market to be such whooping and profitable industry a cola company is also entering into the market with absolutely no prior to knowledge of bulding hardware of any kind. PepsiCo, according to a leaked set of information surfaced in China, the company behind the insanely popular Pepsi carbonated beverage, is now looking to introduce an all new Android-powered smartphone into the market. Evidently, Pepsi is making an Android device.

Pepsi-P1-main
Called Pepsi P1. The news comes in after an alleged discovery of a listing on a Chinese website that details pertaining Android phone. Based on the revealed and speculated specifications, it may not actually prove to be a bad investment. If you happen to have an addition to PepsiCo’s sugary sweet soda drink, here’s another way to prove loyalty to the company, probably no btter way than to change your smartphone to whatever is finally announced.

The Pepsi P1, as per the leaks would ship with a 5.5-inch full-HD 1080p display, putting it into the phablet segment of devices. Consumers can expect to have a device that gains its power from a 1.7GHz MediaTek processor that is fully-packed with an acceptable 2GB of on-board RAM. It still got a 13-megapixel rear camera with a 5MP front-facing sensor. No words on whether or not the brand new hardware will come with a microSD card slot, but it will have included a 16GB of internal storage.

The affordable Android phones are nearly a dime a dozen in China, which is where the Pepsi Phone will be sold. Information also suggests that any Pepsi P1 device would come with Android Lollipop pre-installed and would retail for an extremely agreeable $205, which is well and truely the budget friendly handset perfectly fits in the entry-level lineup.

Pepsi-P1
Regarding the Pepsi P1 Android smartphone, we go nothing on which hardware manufacturer the company has partnered with to produce the device. We even don’t know when the hardware will land in the Asian market, or it will ever be released beyond that region.

It appears Pepsi is working on a budget P1 Android device that actually looks relatively decent. Could Coca-Cola be next?

Update: PepsiCo Inc. has told Reuters that the phone is real, but that the company is just licensing its branding. Another company will manufacture the phone. The article has been updated to reflect this.
