from the- Sunday Observer

it was back in 2011 when Dialog first started launching a 4G test program which offered 50-100mbps data speed across a 4G LTE network ,during the very same time period Mobitel tested out their 96 mbps pilot program , fast forward to 2012 and we see a huge increase in smartphone and tablet adoption in Sri Lanka ,as the usage increased , Networks soon had to shift to higher data speeds and packages , a fine example is Etisalat who recently launched South Asia's first dual carrier network only a month before the new Iphone 5 was launched which made Etisalat one of the first networks to directly launch it as a carrier based device ,and made one of the best HSPA networks , if not the best network in the country , but now it has a new challenger in town , say hello to Dialog 4G who launched its first TD/LTE network 4 days ago( sorry for the lateness ) well what exactly is TD/LTE ....TD LTE stands for Time division / long term evolution , standard LTE has 2 channels , one for upload and one for download , but TD/LTE has a single channel that supports both upload and download so the speed will differ according to what you are doing on the internet , its much more cost effective to run a TD/LTE network since it requires little overhaul to the network unlike the bigger LTE networks which cost billions of dollars to set up , and since Dialog had used WimaX earlier its quite possible that they upgraded their Wimax to TD/LTE standards .........according to Dialog reps , the entree package costs Rupees 1400 ( $11) and offers 25GB data with 4mbps data speeds which will differ and might even exceed 4mbps (20 mbps max)according to usage , currently Dialog's TD/LTE will start from the Colombo City area and will expand to the rest of the island .

Nikon 850 gets leaked ......does the top feature a hybrid EVF?

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...
