Check out the awesome tech that is Microsoft Hololens

Ok Guys, remember how we’re always saying how awesome tech is right now?

SO, YEAH, we’ve got another GEM of an SUPER DOOPER exciting future product to show you. Check this out and try not to smack that guy next to you in excitement.

Whaaaaaaaaaat.

SKype free group messaging coming soon to iOS

Good news iOS folk! Last month, Skype began offering a group video calling feature to Windows Tablets! Them first!? Unfairses! Well, not really, because Skype is owned by Microsoft…

Up to 10 people can get in on this free group calling, which is great, obviously, for families, friends who are on different continents, long distance group relationships, etc. Get a stand for the tablet and it becomes room calling, except there’s 10 different rooms in your room. Did anyone say party?

Anyways. Skype has just announced that the group video calling feature will be coming to ALL mobile platforms, for FREE, in the next to near future. Which means iOS most likely, although it was not specified. Also not specified was the date, although people (who say that they’re) in the know say that this will happen before the year is out.

10 rooms within a room parties for ALL!

This could be exciting

Apple is in the process of purchasing a company that has the technology to bring super, super exciting things to it’s product line.

The Israeli firm Primesense is responsible for the technology associated with 3D body sensing used in Microsoft’s Kinect platform.

You know, the thing where you dance around all silly in front of the game system and don’t care because it’s AMAZING that what you’re doing is copied/simulated on screen? Yeah, that stuff.

The original asking price back in June was  280 million buckaroos, but according to Israeli newspaper Calcalist, the deal is now worth a slammin $345 million. Yowzer.

There are still some minor issues that need to be settled before the transaction is done and dusted, but we’re on purpose getting ahead of ourselves here and getting excited about what this could mean for future products or what it could mean for current products, like the iPhone. Ooh, also The iTV, (duh).

Although Apple has not commented (not unusual), and PrimeSense has not publicly acknowledged the deal, the company did release the following statement:

“PrimeSense is the leading 3D technology in the market. We are focused on building a prosperous company while bringing 3D sensing and Natural Interaction to the mass market in a variety of markets such as interactive living room and mobile devices. We do not comment on what any of our partners, customers or potential customers are doing and we do not relate to rumors or re-cycled rumors.”

We’re hoping that ‘re-cycled rumor’s part is just PR spin. Cos this? Could be really cool.

We’re crossing our fingers and looking forward to an official announcement in the next 2 weeks!

Microsoft Games coming to iPhone

This is one to be filed under F for Fun! Erm… yeh, so anyway, who likes playing games?

Everyone? Cool. Later this year, according to reports via Reuters, Microsoft will be bringing a bunch of their X-Box and Windows games to the iPhone.

Helping bring their gamey goodness over into the smartphone world is Japanese gaming firm KLab Inc.

The first game is said to be Age of Empires, and is also said to be F for Free!

P.s We do apologize, some of the team here at iPhone Antidote appear to have been taken over by Sesame Street.
