After SanDisk and Sony, Kingston is joining the Dual USB/MicroUSB flash drive craze with its DataTraveler MicroDuo product. As you would imagine, this little “device” (if we can call it like that) comes with a standard USB port on one side and microUSB one on the other, allowing for quick transfer of media (and other)…
And we thought Lenovo scored the deal to make the next Nexus smartphone? That seems logical now that the Chinese firm is owning Motorola. According to Gizmodo Germany, that won’t be the case, with LG continuing to make devices for Google. Gizmodo’s report goes on to suggest that the Nexus 6 will be a “lightweight”…
Chances are there are not that many Microsoft OneDrive (former SkyDrive) users among BlackBerry owners. I could be wrong though, but I would guess most CrackBerry fans use services like Dropbox and Box.net, both of which already got their apps for BlackBerry. If you do own a BlackBerry and also store your stuff on Microsoft’s…
Samsung is already the number 1 seller of Android-powered tablets. That, however, doesn’t stop the company from innovating and launching new models every now and then.

HTC HD2 is an amazing device. The Taiwanese company stopped selling it years ago, but it remains the hackers’ favorite tool for testing out new software. We’ve seen this Windows Mobile-based smartphone running an array of Android versions, as well as other platforms like Jolla (MeeGo). Now it’s back in the spotlight again as one…
We know Intel is looking to join the smart watch craze at some point this year.
