Motorola unveiled a fancy (and retro) lookin’ Bluetooth hub called Moto Stream which, like similar devices, can turn any speaker into its wireless counterpart. Borrowing design cues from Rubik’s Cube, the Stream costs $50 and promises connectivity of up to 300ft, as well as seamless one-touch NFC pairing with Android and Windows Phone devices. The…
HP has announced the SlateBook, a 14-inch laptop that runs Android. You got that right, for some reason HP thinks someone would want to buy an Android device as big as this one. It’s not a bad laptop specs wise, it’s just too big for “something” running Android, or so we think. The SlateBook comes…
Yesterday it was a rumor and now it’s official. Ladies and gentlemen, Samsung has officially announced its biggest phone to date, Galaxy W (as in Galaxy Wide), is South Korea.

Just as expected, Oppo announced a smaller version of the N1 phablet. Unfortunately though, the Chinese company failed to mention all the details about the Oppo N1 Mini. We do know it comes with a 5-inch screen but we don’t know which resolution that display can handle. We’re guessing/hoping it’s 1080p full HD but we…
