2. Review: Milagrow Aguabot is Good but Won’t Save You From Housework
Milagrow claims that their Aguabot 4.0 is the only product in the Indian market to come with a full wet mopping system.
While the Aguabot tries to fit into the Internet of Things ecosystem, it falls short. But it has potential and there’s plenty of room to grow.

5. First Impressions: Asus ZenFone Zoom Tries to Ape the DSLR Camera
Smartphones are said to be the successors to digital single-lens reflex or DSLR cameras.
But when you have a phone like the Lumia 1020 or the Apple iPhone with cameras that can match the quality of DLSRs, doubts are bound to creep in if the existing force can last the mile in the foreseeable future.
Most of you might ridicule the prospect. However, as things stand, we might be in for an overhaul that could change the dynamics of the industry. Asus with its ZenFone Zoom wants to be part of a clan that follows the same ideology. But easier said than done.
