Microsoft Hyperlapse app adds more support for Android devices

Microsoft updated its Hyperlapse beta app on Android to add more devices it can support. It now works on Motorola Moto X, Motorola Moto G (first and second generation), and the Samsung Galaxy S4, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. The prerequisite bug fixes are also in this update.

This Hyperlapse app is similar to the one Instagram released. It lets you create sped up, steady video of your many adventures. And since Instagram hasn’t released their version yet, the Microsoft one is the next best thing to use.

Like many consumers, I’ve become somewhat confused with the blurred lines between Samsung’s recent Galaxy Tab and Note models. SPen styli aside, it takes a while to make out one product line from the other, especially in the last year when there was an abundance of white used across the board.

Well, there’s no confusing this year's Galaxy Tab S line. Exceedingly slim, these tablets have gilded borders and buttons, sport eye-catching high-resolution Super AMOLED displays and have climbed up various notches in terms of style as well as updated  look and feel of materials.
