Viber Vs WhatsApp: The battle of the messaging apps

Viber Vs WhatsApp: The battle of the messaging apps



Viber-Lumia-app-2Viber and WhatsApp stand out above most messaging apps on Windows Phone 8, helping tens of millions of people around the world stay in touch.

Viber has an attractive, simple design throughout the app
However, if you’re torn between the two, or wondering which app has the most to offer, let our all-out head to head be your guiding light.

What makes each stand out with Nokia fans?

Viber lands the first punch, offering support for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls. Because VoIP calls use a data connection, and you can use your regular Wi-Fi network, you can make completely free calls to other Viber users, wherever they are in the world.
Simply tap one of your contacts – as you would using the People Hub on your Nokia Lumia – and you’ll be taken to their profile page, letting you make a call, send an instant message, email, or call/text their mobile.
WhatsApp-lumia-appViber is particularly easy to get to grips with, especially when it comes to setting it up. Simply enter your phone number, and Viber will find everybody you know through their phone number. As with WhatsApp, there’s no need to remember additional usernames and passwords – just open the app and off you go.
We also love the quirky design of Viber, with mellow colours used and a cartoon owl that makes an appearance on each of the different panoramas. He may not add anything to the overall usability, but it certainly gives the app a friendly look and feel.

WhatsApp counters with the ability to send voice-message at the tap of a button. Simply press and hold the microphone icon while you chat; let go to stop recording. Tap ‘send’ and the person at the other end gets your message. What could be easier?
WhatsApp makes it easy to add different attachments
It’s easy to view profile information for other WhatsApp members, checking out media content that’s been sent between you, accessing additional contact details, or even sharing these details with other friends. You can also pin contacts to your Start Screen, taking you back to WhatsApp conversations at the tap of a button.
When it comes to media files, click the attachment button and you’ll be able to add images from your photo album, take a new photograph, select and send a video, send existing audio files and share your location details.

Difficult to separate

While the two apps offer plenty of the same features, we think each has its own super skill. Viber wins when it comes to voice calls. WhatsApp is victorious in the realm of text and picture messaging. The one enormous benefit they both have in common is the potential to save you a whole heap of cash – especially when communicating long distance over Wi-Fi.
The fact that each app has its own plus points only makes having the two of them more attractive. With it being so simple to switch between apps, we’d say we have two clear winners.
Enjoy :)

Android vs. iOS

Android vs. iOS Google's Android and Apple's iOS are operating systems used primarily in mobile technology , such as smartphones and tablets. Android, which is Linux -based and partly open source, is more PC -like than iOS, in that its interface and basic features are generally more customizable from top to bottom. However, iOS' uniform design elements are sometimes seen as being more user-friendly. You should choose your smartphone and tablet systems carefully, as switching from iOS to Android or vice versa will require you to buy apps again in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Android is now the world’s most commonly used smartphone platform and is used by many different phone manufacturers. iOS is only used on Apple devices, such as the iPhone . Comparison chart

: T80 Core To Be The Most Precise 8080 To Date :

T80 Core To Be The Most Precise 8080 To Date 8080 Emulation Quality 8080 has many dark corners. Unlike its more popular successor Z80, 8080 had never been studied enough and most emulator code, and FPGA cores, relied on data from various books and often even word of mouth. Thusly, it's known that DAA instruction doesn't yield correct result after subtration but it's not known why and AC flag has mysterious ways too.. Just recently a few enthusiastic people from a Russian Vector-06c fans forum found a piece of software for Vector-06c which could not be started in any of the existing emulators, couldn't be started in my FPGA replica yet had no problem running in the real Vector-06c at all. After some investigation it turned out that 8080 ALU had AC flag inverted after SUB operation. This involves SUB, SBB, SBI, DCR, CMP, CPI instructions. The pesky ware used the contents of 8080 flags register as a branch address. Ultimately it led to this discovery of aux

Bing vs. Google

How Microsoft Bing Works Bing vs. Google You've heard it all before. It's the most overused axiom in any event where the underdog takes on the top dog: David versus Goliath. The underdog rarely has a chance and almost never pulls off the improbable upset. That's sort of the case with Bing. With Google as the top dog of search engines, no company outside of Yahoo has been able to muster much of a challenge. Search is Google's bread and butter. Microsoft, on the other hand, is much more diverse. But Google's single focus has rewarded it with the largest piece of the pie. Microsoft's Windows Live Search was a search engine that went along with the company's other Live-brand-named products. Live Search wasn't a dedicated search, or in Bing's case, decision engine, and couldn't compete with Google. That's why Microsoft built Bing. To compete with the Google juggernaut, Microsoft ja
