In the report, the entry-level handset is now available in Sprint and two of its prepaid brands – Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile.

Beginning today, interested consumers may get the Moto E (2015) from Boost Mobile either online or in store. The only available version is the white one, while the black-colored edition is available from Sprint Prepaid in Best Buy and Radio Shack stores.

The Android-powered device packs a 4.5-inch display with qHD (960 x 540) resolution, 1GB of RAM and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 chipset.

The camera department boasts a decent 5MP primary camera and a VGA shooter in front to handle selfies and video calls.

There is also an 8GB internal memory, a microSD card slot for storage expansion and 2,390mAh battery.

Rounding up the specs list is Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

Motorola Droid Turbo Release Date: Phone Maker’s Best Phone to Date Hitting India Soon
Droid Turbo

Last year, Motorola made some big surprises to keep the competition in the Android realm interesting.

Christian Post Report – Not only was the phone maker chosen to develop Google’s latest phone, the Nexus 6, it also released arguably the best smartphone last year.

When the Motorola Droid Turbo began hitting the rumor mill late last year, no one thought it would be a high-end device. However, the actual announcement of the device captured U.S. interest, especially because its features were rumored to be on par or even superior to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4.

Unfortunately, there was one major problem in that it was developed solely for Verizon Wireless.

But in a recent report by Phone Arena, the device will soon be hitting its first Asian market: India. the Android-powered smartphone appeared in a listing for India’s biggest retailer website, Flipkart.

Listed as the Moto Maxx, the device features a 5.2-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 805 chipset from Qualcomm.

Other specs include a 21MP Sony-made camera with an aperture of f/2.0, and there is a 2MP front shooter to handle selfies and video calls.

Powering up the device is a 3,900mAh battery, as well as Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.

While the Moto Maxx would not be as cheap as some of the more popular handsets in India such as the OnePlus One ($306) and the Xiaomi Mi4 ($322) in the same website, the Motorola smartphone does have additional features and higher-end specs to offer.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf (3) celebrates with teammates Carter Ashton (37) , Nikolai Kulemin (41) , Nazem Kadri (43) and Carl Gunnarsson (36) after his goal against Montreal Canadiens during the second period at Bell Centre.

Christian Post Report – It’s an Eastern Conference showdown as the Toronto Maple Leafs host the New York Islanders at Air Canada Centre in the NHL. Both teams are coming off bad results so expect an intense match as they try to get things back on track.

Between the two teams, things are much worse for the Maple Leafs. They currently sit in seventh place in the Atlantic Division and will miss out on the playoffs. As for the Islanders, they are third in the East and are leaders of the Metropolitan Division with 88 points.

In their most recent match, New York faced the Florida Panthers. They found themselves unable to get an advantage as they trailed throughout the contest.

However, they displayed resolve as they were also able to level the score on three different occasions and had the chance to win it all as they reached the penalty shootout. Unfortunately, they could not get the goals they needed and they ended up settling for a point.

For the Maple Leafs, their last match ended disastrously against the St. Louis Blues. Things went wrong right from the start as Toronto committed three penalties in the first period.

They also found themselves in a whole as St. Louis built a 5-0 lead heading into the final frame after scoring thrice in the first period and twice during the next.

David Booth scored to avoid a complete shutout but the heavy loss gave Toronto their fourth loss in their last five matches.

The two teams have already met twice, with this coming meeting to be the last of the season.

Both times the teams have played in New York, with each team with a win.

With the scenes switching to Toronto, expect a tough battle. The match begins 7:30 ET so visit NHL.com for updates and scores. To watch a live stream, click here.

Anaheim Ducks right wing Emerson Etem (65) celebrates his first period goal against the Detroit Red Wings as a young hockey fan cheers during Game 7 of their NHL Western Conference quarterfinal hockey playoff in Anaheim, California May 12, 2013.

Christian Post Report – The Vancouver Canucks will host the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Arena in the National Hockey League. The Pacific Division rivals will meet for the final time in the regular season as the playoffs loom.

Currently second in the division, the Canucks are coming off a big win against another division rival in the San Jose Sharks. They were riding a two-game losing streak heading into the meeting against the Sharks, and it took a sublime performance from Radim Vrbata to get a 3-2 victory.

Following the win, the Canucks now have 76 points through the season and close the gap on the Ducks who have 91.

On a four-game win streak, the Ducks failed to extend the lead atop the West after falling 5-2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Ducks fell behind heavily throughout the game and only found the back of the net in the third period when the game was already too late to be saved.

Now they will try to get things back on track against the Canucks.

The rivals have met four times already this season, with Vancouver winning their first meeting but then losing three straight to the Ducks. In their last meeting, also at Rogers Arena, the Ducks were dominant. Matt Beleskey, Kyle Palmieri, Rickard Rakell and Patrick Maroon all scored for the visitors as they went on to win 4-0.

In this important meeting, Anaheim will be relying on the performances of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and former Canucks center Ryan Kelser.

As for the Vancouver, twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin will still be anchoring the team’s offense, while goalie Eddie Lack will be their shot-stopper since Ryan Miller is still recovering from an injury he got last February.

This Pacific Division match will start at 10 p.m. ET with updates and highlights on NHL.com. To view the game online, click here.

The Apple Watch will be available in 4 metallic colors, as well as two special edition colors.

Christian Post Report – Apple is set to launch its newest device, the Apple Watch, on Monday during their “Spring Forward” event in San Francisco. The event has a start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the Apple website (details below).

Apple sent out invitations to U.S. and U.K. tech journalists earlier this month for their March 9 “Spring Forward” special event to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where a new product, the Apple Watch will reportedly be unveiled.

The initial teaser reveal for the Smart Watch last September during the unveiling of iPhone 6 and Apple Pay disclosed the wearable’s sleek body, some details, and an initial price point. On March 9, the occasion will fully highlight the device, including specifics on when and where it will be available, what it will do, and how much it is going to cost.

While Apple did mention the starting price for a Smart Watch will begin at $349, some versions of the device are expected to be more expensive. There are currently three known versions: the regular Smart Watch, the Watch Sport, and the yellow gold or rose gold Watch Edition, the latter currently estimated to retail between $4,999 to $7,500.

The Smart Watch, which is intended as an add-on for the iPhone and will communicate with it via Bluetooth, will reportedly be available in a host of color cases and bands users can choose from.

Apart from telling time, the new wearable will activate its display with the simple motion of raising a wrist, differentiate between a touch and a press, track a user’s number of steps and other fitness data, feature a mini-sketchpad for users to draw and send small pictures to contacts, transmit heartbeat data to another Smart Watch user, support the company’s latest payment system — the Apple Pay, and like a futuristic film scenario, allow users to take phone calls via their wrist.

Battery life for the Smart Watch is expected to be pegged at 2.5 hours for heavy app use, four hours for fitness tracking, and up to a reported 19 hours of battery life with normal wear. Sources are also saying the device may be available in the U.S. as early as March 20.

The Apple iWatch event will be streamed online on Monday at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), on the Apple website by clicking here. The event requires Safari and an Apple device to view.

If the watcher is mobile, one can only watch using iPads or iPhones or iPod Touch running on OS 6.0 or later.

If the set-up is using Apple TV in a conference or viewing room, only second generation or third-generation devices can be used for the live stream. And these devices have to be running on firmware 6.2. When the event is live, there will be an Apple events channel that will appear where you can access the event.

According to WIRED, there are other available options for those who do not have the necessary hardware and software. WIRED will run a live blog as they attend the event, which can be accessed through their website. They will also provide links to in-depth coverage through their Twitter feed. Other media organizations may offer the same option too.

Apple is expected to reveal details about what the new Apple Watch can do, how much it will cost and when it will be available in the market.

Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos celebrates his goal against Real Sociedad during their Spanish first division soccer match at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, January 31, 2015.

Christian Post Report – Real Madrid will try to move one step closer to defending their UEFA Champions League title as they host Schalke 04 in the second leg of their round of 16 tie.

In their first meeting at Veltins Arena, Madrid won 2-0 thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo finding the back of the net.

The Portuguese star scored in the 26th minute, while the Brazilian capped things off in the 79th.

Madrid dominated possession throughout the match, holding on to the ball 63 percentof the time. As a result, they were able to attempt eight total shots, converting on their only two that were on target.

Schalke only managed six shots on goal, and despite having four on target could not beat goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

It was also a very physical contest, with 25 total fouls, and four yellow cards – one on Madrid’s Toni Kroos and three Schalke players namely Kevin Boateng, Roman Neustadter and Jan Kirchhoff.

With this return leg to be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid hold a big advantage.

However, things have not been up to their standards lately as they have failed to win in their last two matches across all competitions.

They drew against Villarreal and lost to Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga, surrendering the lead to Barcelona in the process.

As for Schalke, they are fifth in the Bundesliga and recently ended their four-match winless run with a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim.

The German club will surely try to take advantage of Madrid’s misfortunes if they want to advance to the next round of the Champions League.

Klaas Jan-Huntelaar leads the club in goals scored in the competition with three, but will need help as no other player in the squad has scored more than once so far.

For Madrid, Ronaldo leads the goal-scoring tally with six, while Karim Benzema has also found the touch with five in the competition.

Billy Ray Cyrus Responds to Miley’s Pregnancy Rumors

Miley Cyrus with her parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus

Christian Post Report – Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus shocked his 1.7 million followers on Twitter last week when he tweeted, “I’m going to be a grandfather. Just call me Pawpaw!” Does this mean that one of his children, specifically Miley Cyrus, is expecting a baby?

In January, Life & Style ran a cover story announcing that Miley was “pregnant and dumped.” The article claimed that she was “notoriously lax about birth control” and that her boyfriend, Patrick Schwarzenegger, considered breaking up.

According to the magazine, Patrick’s family staged an intervention during a recent vacation in Hawaii, demanding that he breaks up with the singer.

“But Miley had her own surprise in store,” claims the magazine’s source. “When Patrick got back to L.A., they went to dinner and both said that they had something to say to each other. Patrick went first and said he needed some space and wanted to take a break—and that’s when Miley interrupted and said, ‘Well you can’t, because I’m pregnant!'”

Miley never commented on the rumors directly, but she did silence the split talk when she attended a pre-Grammy’s event with Schwarzenegger. And if her gown was any indication, there was no hint whatsoever of a baby bump.

However, the baby rumors continued, so the “Wrecking Ball” singer decided to poke fun at them by posting a manipulated image of herself getting an ultrasound. Her best friend Cheyne Thomas played a doctor, and the sonogram showed a pizza baby.

“The rumors are true,” Miley captioned the shot.

It turns out that Billy Ray was also poking fun at the pregnancy rumors, and is not actually expecting a grandchild, according to an insider from E! News. The country singer posted a follow up to his tweet, which was the same image on Miley’s Instagram, and wrote, “Yep…Papaw Cyrus.”
