Sony this time is targeting the budget conscious consumers with its Xperia M series of phones, there will be two versions of Xperia M, namely Xperia M and Xperia M Dual. These are the mid range Android phones with Jelly Bean goodness. The pricing is still uncertain but we believe these will be priced at sub $500. Xperia M series will feature 4 inch display with 1 GB RAM and 1Ghz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset. The graphics are powered by 305 GPU. It also has a VGA front and 5 megapixel rear camera with HDR photo mode. Overall it seems to be a great phone for those who don’t like the bigger phones. Another nifty addition is the indicator light at the bottom for notifications.

Yahoo! is what came to my mind while reading about this amazing piece of news from Flickr which is owned by Yahoo, in a surprising move Flickr account holders and every new user of Flickr will now have access to 1 TeraByte of Cloud storage for their photos and videos. Users will also be able to upload their high resolution photos without upgrading or worrying about the file size. All this has happened because of Marissa Mayer who joined Yahoo after her stint at Google. Recently Yahoo also acquired Tumblr in a deal of over 1 billion dollar. These updates to Flickr are much needed breath of fresh air that will surely put Flickr on a growing path.
