The other day, Pebble unveiled new limited-edition smart watches, available in Fresh Green, Hot Pink and Fly Blue. As you may’ve heard, these remain the same smart watches under the hood; it’s just that you get a differently colored watch which perhaps goes better with your clothing. I do understand Pebble wants to milk its…
The earlier rumored Samsung Gear Solo may be unveiled at the upcoming IFA in Berlin, alongside the Galaxy Note 4. From what we’ve heard before, this will be the Gear 2-like device with a SIM card slot, allowing it to work even without a smartphone connection. However, when connected to a Galaxy device, users will…
You may’ve heard that HP is mulling entrance to the smart watch market, having partnered with designer Michael Bastian and retailer called Gilt. The device is still in the concept phase and although it looks rather awesome, we can’t help but wonder whether HP has what it takes to compete in this space. You see…
We’ll have to file this under rumors since we haven’t got the official press release, yet. Alas, the leak seams to point that OnePlus — the spinoff from Oppo — is preparing to enter the smart watch market. The site looks ready and the sketches promise one interesting device.

The other day we’ve told you about Lenovo’s patent related to smart glasses. Looks like the Chinese company, which also happens to be the world’s largest PC company, won’t be pursuing its own product, and will — at least initially — offer Vuzix’ glasses. Said device will be co-branded as a Vuzix/Lenovo solution and will…
Yesterday we’ve told you that Xiaomi launched its latest flagship smartphone, the Mi4. What we’ve forgot to say is that at the same time, the company has also unveiled its very first fitness band, which is simply called Mi Band and which works like any other such device, tracking one’s exercise/movement and sleep patterns. However,…
Microsoft plans to join the smart glass market at some point, having recently acquired virtual reality patents from Osterhout Design Group in a deal worth $150 million. While these patents obviously play a role in the Redmond giant’s strategy — $150 million is a significant amount of cash, after all — that doesn’t stop the…
iPhone users have the benefit of choosing between few different battery cases, most of which look rather similar.
