Where can I download Pokemon Go?At present, Pokemon Go is available for download from the respective Apple and Android apps stores in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the UK.
It is -coming soon- to other countries. However, you can also download it anywhere you like, even without official support, on an Android device if you follow our handy guide or iPhone if you go through several steps.
Can I get Pokemon Go on Android now?
As we explain above, you can actually get Pokemon Go for Android in countries where it is yet to be available by following these steps:
Ensure that your Android phone is able to install apps outside of Google Play by visiting Settings, Security on your device.
Tap the toggle for Unknown Sources to on.
Now visit APK Mirror using a browser on your phone to get the latest version of the Pokemon Go app. You can find it here.
Hit the Download APK button.
Head to your Downloads section on the phone, tap on the Pokemon Go APK and it will install. Simple.
Of course, this does come with risks, as installing apps from unknown locations can expose you to the risk of installing apps that have been tampered with.
We have noticed that the APK updates as the official app is launched in your country. It keeps all your progress too.
Can I get Pokemon Go on iOS now?
It is also possible to get Pokemon Go for iPhone ahead of its general release in your area, but it takes a lot more effort. You can Jailbreak your iPhone, for example, but that isn't ideal and invalidates your phone's warranty. Then you need to find the app on a Jailbreak site to install. We don't recommend it, to be honest.
The other way is less permanently but also not ideal. You can set yourself up with an iTunes account in a country that does have the app on the App Store, then download it legitimately. Often you need a credit card from the country the account is based in, but it is possible to do it without.
You can set it up on iTunes on computer, but here are the steps to do it directly on your phone:
Launch the App Store on your iPhone, tap on Apple ID at the bottom of the screen and sign out.
Now you need to change the region of your device. Go to Settings-General-Language & Region.
Tap on Region and change it to United States or New Zealand, etc.
Head back to the App Store and search for Pokemon Go. Get it and hit Install.
A pop up with ask you to sign in, but check Create New instead.
You have to fill out the required information and follow the instructions. Choose any email or US based address. It is important though to tap None for billing information, otherwise you need a credit card from the specific region chosen.
Head back to the App Store once the account has been created and you can download, install and play Pokemon Go as you are signed into a supported country.
One major problem with this method is that every time you want to use your existing apps and games, you have to switch your phone's region and sign back into your own country's account again. It sounds simple now, but is a real pain. And if you do want to buy additional content from within Pokemon Go, you need to first buy some US iTunes vouchers and then assign them to your account.
Samsung’s two new phones arrived this month. The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are two of the most anticipated, most important devices of the year. They represent an entirely new design direction from Samsung, with glass and carefully machined aluminum where there was once dimpled plastic that looked a lot like a Band-Aid. They’re Samsung’s attempt to keep up with the iPhone, which has entered the big-phone market with no subtlety and lots of success. They’re almost certainly going to be enormously popular.
The two S6 models go on sale on April 10th, and they’ll be available on all four major carriers in the UK & US and rest of the word —and many more besides. Off-contract pricing isn’t available yet, but a 32GB version of the S6 might cost you slightly more then rest of the phones. The numbers are slightly different for other carriers, but the Edge seems to always be about £100 more expensive.
The most surprising thing I’ve found so far is that the beautiful sloped-screen Galaxy S6 Edge is entirely pointless. It’s the first phone I can think of that is a fashion play through and through—no one will ever buy this device because it does something special. It doesn’t.
On one hand, that’s great! Samsung is latching on to the idea that fashion can drive technology, and that looks and emotion do matter. But I can’t help but also see this as Samsung giving up on what could have been a great idea. When it announced the Galaxy Note Edgein September, it was a wild and new kind of smartphone. It was a Galaxy Note, except that on the right side where there was once bezel, there was now more screen. A sloping, thin panel that fell off the side and wrapped around the edge, entirely separate from the flat display on the top of the phone. It looked strange, and it felt a little lopsided in your hand, but it was just cool as all hell.
Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 edge
The best part, though, was that Samsung had dreamed up some clever functionality for the Edge’s, er, edge. It became the home for a lot of the phone’s buttons and settings; instead of the shutter button obscuring your subject in the camera app, it was set off to the bottom. It could act as a quick launcher for your most-used apps, or a ticker for notifications or news. There were omnipresent controls in games, and easy access to notebooks you were using. It took some time to learn the workflow, but it was really useful when it worked.
The implementations were somewhat scatter shot, and the whole idea needed some refinement and testing from Samsung and its developers, but the sliver of screen on the side seemed to be a cool new place to display ancillary information or offer simple actions without getting in the way of what you’re doing on the big screen. Developers seemed tentatively on board, too, especially with music apps. Having your controls on the side, no matter what app you’re in, is awesome. The Edge’s edge was a bit of a gimmick, but it had real potential.
The S6 Edge is a dramatic step backwards in this department. It doesn't have two screens, or cool new ideas about smartphone interaction. It’s just curved. It has exactly two functional differences from the regular S6: You can access your favorite contacts with a swipe in from the right side when you’re on the home screen, and when you set the phone on a table it can light up notifications or a clock you’ll be able to read with your head on a pillow. Both features would be welcome on the regular S6, and neither comes close to justifying the price increase for the S6 Edge. (There’s a third feature, a notification light for when the phone is face down, but since people only put their phones face down to not be distracted by them, that light is unhelpful and thus doesn’t count.)
Click to Open Overlay Gallery SAMSUNG The Edge does look better this time: since it curves on both sides, it feels more symmetrical and less like a chipped tooth. Mostly, it looks just like the S6, which is itself a marvelous object. They both feel incredibly luxe and carefully designed, in a way no Samsung device ever has before. The Edge is even a little cooler, all thanks to the infinity-pool sloping screen.
The aesthetic appeal is a huge part of the point, which is new territory for Samsung. It’s charging more for the Edge, and marketing it as the higher-end device. It’s like buying the Apple Watch Edition: It doesn’t do anything beyond the base model, but it’ll be worth the money to some people because of how it looks and the air of exclusivity it communicates.
That’s fine, but it’s also a missed opportunity for Samsung to keep trying to reinvent how we use our smartphones. The Note is forever a niche device, the Note Edge even more so—a phone that big just won’t appeal to everyone. But the Galaxy S is Samsung’s flagship line, the one you see in the hands of every kind of person around the world. The S6 Edge could have brought the edge idea and functionality to more people, which would have in turn helped get developers on board, but instead it ensured that only a few people will ever try this different kind of smartphone. All the promise of functionality, all the funny little edge-screen games and utilities I hoped people would build, just don’t seem to be part of the plan anymore. The Edge is all about aesthetics, about Samsung showing it can make beautiful, unique devices with the best of ‘em. It’s a single screen, curved twice. That’s hard work, and I’m impressed Samsung pulled it off. I’m just not going to buy it.
Of course, Samsung’s rumored to already be on to the next thing — flexible, foldable smartphones. Things might get crazy after all.
Time vanishes just like that. It's been 3yrs I've been living in Edinburgh, Scotland and it seems like yesterday and I'm loving it everyday. Here's a glimpse of what I love and think of scotland and scottish people.
FRINGE!
Edinburgh in summer, to most people, means ‘Festival City’. While it’s true the city can jump and fizz like a fire-cracker during July and August - the Festival is the world’s largest arts event - there are other, equally beguiling, reasons to visit at this time. The longer, lighter days throw the New Town’s Georgian architecture into glorious relief; cafés spill onto pavements in agreeable Continental fashion; while the Castle on its rock looks more benevolent than craggy.
So how's the weather throughout all the year??
I'm based in Edinburgh and can tell you that Edinburgh has the most unpredictable climate in UK. You can see sunshine and suddenly u realise that its raining.
Its always breezy and cold but I'm sure anyone will enjoy this as it is a beautiful city to live in. It has all great facilities and yet simple in its own way. Edinburgh castle and princess street are a must visit. Edinburgh university is a gerat place to learn and hang around. You see a great variety of people out there. Campus is really really awesome and it is indeed a historic city.
So how's Scottish People?
Like anywhere, there a always good and bad people, but a large majority are nice! Ignore stereotypes like they are drunk etc.
Yes people love drinking here! It is a different kind of nice than America, Scottish people will generally try and get you drunk and they can be a very teasing nation, they tend to make fun of people a lot, but it is generally for fun and you should take it as such, if you don't they might not think you have a sense of humour! which is true indeed.
Sometime you will meet the occasional miserable person but what country doesn't have those? Everyone enjoyes a good party, a lot of drink and a good dance!
