I would assume that owners of the original Samsung Galaxy Gear haven’t felt their best when they saw the new Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo running Tizen instead of Android. That concern will be addressed in the near future with the Korean company working on new firmware that will make the Galaxy Gear run…
There’s a new, weird accessory now selling in Japan. The thumb-shaped stylus you can see on the image above is especially designed for big smartphones aka phablets, extending one’s finger by 15mm (0.59 inches). That might not sound like much, but should be enough for most folks to reach the far left/right corner of the…
Huawei has teamed-up with smart watch maker Omate to make the Kids tracker watch, GizChina is reporting. The simply-lookin’ device has a big battery (or so it seems), cellular connectivity and GPS receiver to allow parents to easily locate their child. In addition, the device has a small display that (obviously) shows the time and…
Samsung unveiled a new battery pack that looks rather sexy thanks to the faux leather and stitch finish we’ve seen on the Galaxy Note 3 and some Galaxy S4 variants. The EB-PG900B rocks a 6,000 mAh battery which is good enough to charge the Galaxy S5 two times. To make it even more useful, Samsung…

What we didn’t know at that time is that the Gear Fit will get the same treatment, as well. The newly announced “Swarovski for Samsung” collection includes crystal-laden Galaxy S5 covers…
Qualcomm is updating the Toq software to include voice to text for SMS to the mix. No longer will you have to type on your smartphone when a text needs to be answered – simply tap the microphone icon on the Toq and say what’s on your mind. Nuance’s speech-to-text technology will do the rest…
Apple may be facing one legal hurdle as it tries to enter the wearables market. Switzerland-based Swatch secured the name for iSwatch and since it [name] is pretty similar to “iWatch,” it could cause enough customer confusion to prevent the Cupertino giant from securing the trademark.
