After years of being an Android user, I finally gave Apple a shot. In this video, I share my experience switching to the iPhone – what I was looking for in a phone, what worked, and what didn’t. There were a few things that frustrated me, but I also found some surprising benefits.

I also touch on the Apple Watch Series 10 and how it fits into the Apple ecosystem.

If you’re on the fence about switching, I’ll walk you through some real-life scenarios that might help you decide.

1 of THE Best features of the Apple Watch!

This in my opinion is one of the best and most convenience features on the apple watch series 10. It helps so much when filming yourself, being able to check what is in the shot and adjusting if necessary on the iPhone.

You can control the camera (though somewhat limited) from the watch, it makes it easy take photos or start and stop recording using the watch. It can really be a great accessory to your film making kit.

The Surface Pro 8 has been out for some time now, with the Surface Pro 9 recently being unveiled. I managed to pick up a Surface Pro 8 but I was still not 100% sure that it would be able to do the things that I wanted to do.

So I decided to make a video showing some of the things that I use it for, such as:

• 360 video editing
• Video editing (Da Vinci Resolve, FHD and 4k)
• Coding (VS code and visual studio)
• General stuff (meetings, youtube, blogging)

Hopefully this can help show you what it can do and whether it will meet your needs. Feel free to comment and ask any questions on it and I will do my best to help you out where I can. If you are also looking for accessories for your Surface Pro, there are many cheaper alternatives available that work well.

Wearable technology has become one of the biggest trends and buzzwords in 2020. These smartwatches empowered with cutting edge technology are not only gaining immense popularity with new models releasing every now and then, but it is also spreading its wings into other exciting areas.

Are you also using these fitness bands to monitor your sleep quality, fitness, heart rate, activities, and more? Then you are also one of the million users who are obsessed with wearable devices. According to a recent survey conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine, wearable tech will be the hottest fitness trend in the coming years. 

The technology will be a significant component of the IoMT- Internet of Medical Things. It includes medical devices and applications that are connected to healthcare IT systems via an online computer network. These wearables will soon witness a huge transformation from simple devices to complex healthcare applications. With constant evolution and technological advances in fitness culture and wearable app development services, it is easier now to track and collect information about health and lifestyle, chronic diseases, and quality of life. Even patients with diseases, such as arrhythmias,  diabetes, mental and neurological conditions can ensure self-health. All thanks to these smart bands that have got your back at every step. 

We have highlighted major trends of 2020 in wearable fitness technology and statistics related to it in this article. These points will show you the potential of this technology and what you can expect in the future. So please, have a read.

Facts and Statistics for 2020

• Wearable technology is worth around $50 billion in the last year which is almost double since 2014.
• 90% of American consumers have said that they are using smartwatches as fitness trackers.
• It is an integral part of enterprise mobility services, and the revenue from top fitness and healthcare apps has witnessed a growth of 61% and has reached a whopping amount of $327 million across the globe.
• In 2017, the total number of wearable device users that are connected to 4G was 526 million and by 2022, the number may reach 900 million. 
• More than 95% of users prefer one app for fitness and health which means that the retention rate of these applications is quite high. 

Trends You Must Look Forward To

Fitness Trackers

Yes, we know that fitness trackers are not exactly a new concept. You can easily keep a check on your health and physical activities with these smart bands that are equipped with sensors. We all are living a strenuous and busy life full of anxieties and struggles. No wonder that we often ignore our wellbeing and have concerns about the impact of such a lifestyle on our health.

With wearable devices that always track our every move, we are encouraged to work out and sweat out a little daily. Trackers go beyond just counting calories and steps or reminding us of exercise schedules. They apparently help us sleep better and improve overall physical health along with recommending the right diet and routine by syncing to various applications. Fitness trackers even track heart rate and health while sleeping to get a complete picture of our health and wellness. 

ECG & Blood Pressure Monitors

Another unique feature of wearable devices is their ability to measure ECG or electrocardiograms. With ECG monitors, you can share the reading with doctors easily within a few minutes. The bands also detect atrial fibrillation which is important and helpful for patients with serious heart problems and other chronic diseases. With monitoring technology, you can be assured of quick, consistent, accurate care for yourself and other members of the family.

Also, it’s a perfect solution offered by healthcare providers to increase patients’ satisfaction and ensure their wellness. Now, wearable app development companies are also coming up with BPM (Blood Pressure Monitor). In the case of high BP, the device will alarm the user to reduce efforts and take the right precautions on time along with providing his/her doctor with additional information. If BP is normal, then the monitor assists people to make sure that it remains stable to avoid any stroke or hypertension. You can also use BPM to detect cardiovascular risk, diagnose and monitor hypertension, and more. 

Wearables in Insurance

Wearable devices are not popular only among consumers and direct users but also prove to be beneficial for many companies offering insurance services. Yes, you heard it right, the technology is a blessing for insurers and helping them to reduce the ever-rising cost per patient. Along with using it to increase the customer lifetime value, the companies are using these smart bands to know the exact health condition of clients.

Companies can equip their customers with wearable technologies and incentivize their behaviors to control hospital admissions, unhealthy lifestyles, and poorly managed personal wellbeing. Ask users and most of them will agree that this technology has helped them become more aware of their wellness and physical health. It also inspires them to adopt a better diet plan, exercise regime, and a daily schedule. Hence, there is no doubt that sooner more insurance companies will make wearable technology a crucial part of their strategy. 

Hearables

There have been many inventions and technologies for people with hearing issues. Some have proved to be greatly helpful while others could not give the required results. Joining the list of the latest generation of wearable devices is hearable, a significant tool to assist people with hearing problems and reduce their struggle to have a normal conversation. There are smart hearable devices, such as wireless headphones with advanced features like assistive hearing that enable users to hear voices and sound.

Another significant discovery is intelligent bike helmets for cyclists to listen to music or catch up on official work while commuting or cycling. This technology is assisted with features, such as built-in GPS. This cutting edge technology will soon replace hearing aid as hearables can be worn in the ear canal and include many benefits for the wearer.

Another advantage of these devices over traditional hearing aids is that they enhance conversations when there is a constant disturbance from background noise. Hence, the wearers will hear only what they want to hear and can block other unwanted sounds. 

Wrapping It Up!

One thing is for sure that wearable technology is here to stay and it will become increasingly prominent in the coming years. It will address more and more challenges concerning fitness and health while also improving the quality of life. We won’t be exaggerating if we say that it will be a standard among users who seriously care about their health and wellness. So, whether you are looking forward to buying a smart band for you or launching your brand of smartwatch, this is the right time.

The post Key Trends And Facts About Wearable Fitness Technology appeared first on FitNish.com.

I recently bought a cheapish drone on Ebay to see how it would fare against the more expensive drones. It is called an emotion drone that is made in China. Delivery took about 3 months and I had to pay a small customs fee. Overall the drone is decent to learn how to control and fly a drone, and is not too expensive.

So lets get into a quick review of various aspects of the drone.

Battery power:

I bought the drone with 2 extra batteries as each battery lasts about 5 – 7 minutes, and they each take about 40 minutes to charge.

Flying controls

You can control the drone with your phone or the controller that  it comes with. It is far easier to use the controller rather than your phone. you of course need to download the app for your phone. The actual controls on the app are just not as effective as using the controller. Remember the controller needs batteries so you will need to have 4 AA rechargeable batteries for that.

The drone does not do well when there is wind, so when flying you will need a calm day or fly it indoors.

Camera quality:

The camera quality is pretty bad. I would go far as to say that the images and footage cannot really be used for anything, even for social media as it is not good quality at all. You may be lucky enough to capture a decent photo here and there but generally, do not purchase this drone with the intention of using it for videos or photos.

build and breakages

The emotion drone is not the best build quality drone, but it is pretty decent and does not break easily. I have crashed it into a few things and a few walls and it gets right back up and keeps going. I  haven’t even had to replace any of the propellers yet :p

Testing out the #tracking on the #djiosmomobile3 It's pretty cool and keeps fixed on the #drone . . #shotbymi #xiaomi #mi8 #dji #djiosmo #djiosmomobile #tech #technology #videography #dronestagram

Cost:

I bought the drone on Ebay, and paid +-R800, as well as R28 customs fee at the post office and it took about 3 months to get delivered to the post office here in South Africa.

In the end:

It really depends what you want to use the drone for. If you just want a drone to try and have fun with, and to get the hang of the controls of a drone, this emotion drone is a winner for that. If on the other hand you want a drone that takes some good video footage and pictures, this is certainly not the right drone for that. If you want a decent drone you must be prepared to pay a few thousand rand to get a good one.

Don’t get me wrong, this drone is fun to fly though!

One cool new feature of the band, is that it’s waterproof! This is one of the main reasons I went for Mi band 3 as I can now swim with it and not worry about always having to take it off if I have to shower or go swimming.

I put together a short video below, just showing some of the features of the Mi band 3 and to give you an idea of the look and feel of it. 

A look at the Xiaomi Mi 8 and specifically its Camera:

I also got my hands on the Xiaomi Mi8 smartphone, which is powerful smartphone. I specifically bought it for its camera and to be able to video in higher frame rates than I was able to previously (on my dslr I can only go up to 60 frames per second).

If you’re interested to see what it can do check out the video below, which shows a few sample pictures and videos I took with it as well as what sort of video settings you can expect and use on it.

• Bought in 2014
• Samsung ativ notebook 
• Intel I5 2.60 GHz processor
• 8 Gigs Ram
• 1 TB HDD (Hard disk drive)

Takealot.com had a special on the western digital Blue 500 gig drive, so after much research and many youtube reviews, I decided to go for it and give it a try, and WOW it made such a huge difference. A great buy indeed and well worth it.

I made a short video showing the time comparison between boot up on the 2 hard drives. First I show the 1 TB existing hard drive, which takes a few minutes, and then the SSD, which is super fast and hardly any lag.

The last part of the video is a small tip to solve an error, which says

“Unable to recover your PC. The system drive is too small.”

when installing windows on your ssd from your recovery drive. It’s quite a simple fix and worked for me.

Swapping drives:

Swapping drives is easy, just unscrew the back of your laptop and unscrew the HDD and connect the new SSD. Some of the screws connecting the HDD to the casing were quite tight and I needed to use a wrench with a screwdriver to loosen them.

Installing windows 10

I used the recovery option on the laptop with the existing HDD and created a recovery windows installation on a 32 gig flash drive. After putting the SSD into the laptop I booted from the flash drive. Initially I got an error when trying to install: “Unable to recover your PC. The system drive is too small.” This was caused by the HDD being bigger than the SSD, but can be easily fixed by changing a value in an XML file on the windows USB flash drive (shown fully in the above video). Once fixed I installed windows, it was version 8.1 though.

I then downloaded the windows media creation tool from the Microsoft website to upgrade to windows 10.

Partitions:

I decided to partition my SSD. I found a simple video that shows quickly and easily how to do it if you are new to partitioning drives.

Casing:

The last thing to do is to get a new case for your original hard drive so you can use it as an external drive to store all your stuff. You can find one of these online ranging between 100 and 200 Rand/10 – 20 USD.

3. Control Your Time

Time is the essence when an exam is around the corner. However, preparing in a hurry doesn’t serve you either. The best strategy is to start studying early enough so that you manage to learn the key concepts. Dwell on each question until you are confident to tackle it in the test. The more time you have in your hands, the more likely you are to cover all the concepts.

This way, you need to follow a strict schedule so that you cover as many exam dumps as you can within the available time. When you get a difficult question, do not set it aside for later, and avoid procrastinating because it is the ultimate time-waster.

4. Review

Repeating the content learned is the most essential part of preparation. When you get a question wrong, the best idea is to go back and review it. Thereby, you will identify where you went wrong and what the right response is and so, understand each question and the related topics. This ensures that you get the right path to handle complex questions.

5. Find Right Place to Study

You need to find the perfect place to do your revision. Exam dumps contain questions that require you to think and rethink. Therefore, you need to be in a quiet environment free from any distractions such as social media. If possible, turn off your phone to eliminate the temptations of chatting with friends. The place you choose should be the most comfortable and conducive for learning because you need maximum concentration here for the best results.

6. Don’t Skip Questions

You have to make an effort of tackling all the items irrespective of the difficulty level. Some candidates tend to ignore certain domains just because they feel that these are inessential or avoid them because they don’t want to have to deal with them and the ‘failure’ of them. This is a grave delusion, and your task is, consequently, to work on all the questions equally to avoid missing even the minute details.

7. Practice Frequently

Constant practice is a perfect way to learn all the exam information exhaustively. Ensure that you have allocated enough time to study every day. Handling many questions exposes you to new concepts and ways to apply them in the upcoming exams.

Conclusion

As long as yyou go through all the advice given and study what you need to, you will certainly pass the associated Microsoft 70-741 test.

Good luck to you!
