Uber Lite

Uber has just released an Uber Lite app for developing countries that aims to work for slow internet connections and phones with low internal storage spaces. Unlike the regular Uber app sized at 119MB, the design is more streamlined to the point that the map is hidden by default and will only be shown upon request. Uber Lite rolls out for Android devices in India first (click on the link to get early access), with launches to other developing countries coming later this year. HP's business-friendly, 10-inch Windows 8 Pro tablet, the ElitePad 900, is now being offered in local stores in the Philippines (we particularly saw one from Villman). The ElitePad 900 sports a 10.1-inch capacitive display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 which equates to 149ppi. HP ElitePad 900 (WiFi+3G) specs: The HP ElitePad 900 has an SRP of Php43,788. It’s powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid engine paired with a high-capacity electric motor, designed to deliver both performance and fuel savings.
