Corning’s Gorilla Glass products may soon be a thing of the past, at least when it comes to the very high end of the smartphone market.

If Microsoft, Google and Apple can have their virtual assistants, so can BlackBerry. The Canadian company is doing just that and will include this feature into its upcoming BlackBerry OS 10.3, which will ship preinstalled with the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic. Just like Cortana, Google Now and Siri – the BlackBerry Assistant will too…
Although we’re still waiting for Cook & Co. to officially announce the next iPhone that doesn’t prevent certain Chinese vendors from launching their own “variants” of the smartphone. GooPhone is notorious for its clones, having launched numerous “versions” of popular devices, thus making them properly qualified for the fake iPhone 6. And voila… relying on…

Another day, another Samsung Galaxy Alpha (or that’s Galaxy F?) rumor. This time we’re hearing that this metal-clad device will be made to compete head to head with the forthcoming iPhone 6, boasting a 4.7-inch screen and a 6mm-thin body. That’s right, this latest rumor claims that Sammy’s next flagship won’t have a 5.something-inch screen,…
You may remember that Google was working on a smart lens technology; well a portion of what Mountain View engineers have made has been licensed to Novartis’ eye-care subsidiary Alcon, which will try to turn it into a commercial product.
