Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
IEC Technology — which has offices in Shenzhen, China and London, UK — has recently launched its laser-light based Bluetooth stereophonic headsets, called Shine, on Kickstarter. We had a chance to try them out before the general public, and this article is all about our experience with the product. But first, let’s look at Shine’s…
Neptune wants to completely redefine how we think of mobile devices. They don’t see a smartphone in the center of it all; rather, they think that position should go to an Android-powered smart watch that will simply have bigger screens to connect to. One of the screens would come in the form of a traditional…
Let me start by saying this – the Jabra Storm is by far the best Bluetooth headset I’ve ever used. Period. I know there are (arguably) better models, but I haven’t been able to play with one of those. The Storm offers a great sound quality, it’s easy to carry around (you can forget you…
These days we get to see a number of different smart watches. There are those that look and act like small computers, running a kind of specialized operating system, like Apple Watch, Samsung’s Tizen watches, Pebble and an array of Android Wear devices. Products made by Martian are different. First and foremost they look like…
After phones and tablets, we look at hot accessories and wearables that were announced at Mobile World Congress 2015. As you’re about to see, there are quite a few of these, and not all of them are available immediately. Quite the contrary, for most products listed here, you’ll have to wait for at least another…
Samsung has a new flagship device and it (obviously?) requires a pair of VR glasses of its own. The current Gear VR is made for the Galaxy Note 4, and while I’m sure you can make it work with the S6 – that won’t be the best setup ever. Simply put – the Note 4…
We’ve seen a Nexus phone, a Nexus tablet and a Nexus set-top box – it’s time for a Nexus smart watch. Let me start by adding that we don’t have any inside information; this article is a product of my imagination, but it does make sense. It’s time for Google to step-in and set standards…
A company called Tactus Technology unveiled an interesting iPad mini accessory, the keyboard equipped case called Phorm. But that’s not an ordinary keyboard case we’ve seen in the past; rather its keys are not visible until the user pushes the physical switch on the backside of the case. Then, the physical buttons appear, allowing users…
The Samsung Gear S is a polarizing device. While some think it’s trying to do too many things at once, others like it for its built-in 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity (there’s a new version in Japan with Wi-Fi only connectivity, FYI). That big 2-inch 480×360-pixel AMOLED screen is also controversial as it makes the watch…
Let’s be real: it’s super hard to find an organizer that stores all elements of our increasingly digital lives. No longer is it just a small subset of nerds who are carrying around a handful of electronic gadgets; tech has gone mainstream, leaving us all with more gadgets, USB cords and chargers than we can…
