With Apple’s cash pile growing with the day, we are wondering when (or whether) will they start making big moves, as in – big acquisitions. The iPhone maker typically acquires smaller firms, but with more than $200 billion sitting at their offshore accounts, one wonders how on earth will they spend/invest all the cash. There…
If Chinese handset makers like Huawei and ZTE don’t cut it — due to security and “all that jazz” — perhaps the best contender to take over BlackBerry is Amazon. There are a few reasons why this could be a good move for the online retail giant: 1. Amazon wants its own eco-system, not the…
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…
Google and BlackBerry are getting closer to each other. This is still far from a partnership the Mountain View-based company has with its Android vendors, and we’re not sure it’s even getting there. Instead, Google has teamed-up with BlackBerry — and few other companies for that matter — to bring Android to enterprises. As part…
I’m a convert. I’ve dumped my Android for… a BlackBerry. That’s right, I got a device made by the company which, as far as I (don’t) know, may not be in the handset making business next year. I may be wrong, but it could be that the Canadian company is moving away from the products…
The other day, the Puzzlephone has been unveiled right from Nokia’s home town of Espoo, Finland. Yes, Finns want to get back to the glory days when Nokia ruled the world with its well-built, rock-solid feature phones, but this time round – they aim to make a splash with a modular smartphone. The main idea…
The first Ubuntu-powered device will finally be available in early 2015, even though we expected to see it unveiled by the end of this year. Either the hardware “isn’t there yet”; or it’s not as easy to make everything run smoothly on a mobile phone, and then move it to the big screen experience where…
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…
The other day Corning unveiled Gorilla Glass 4, which obviously is the fourth iteration of its strengthen glass product made for mobile device. As you would imagine, Corning’s latest product builds on top of its predecessor, Gorilla Glass 3, promising the hardest glass material yet; though not as strong as the much more expensive sapphire…
It’s been awhile since Verizon and Motorola launched a QWERTY keyboard equipped smartphone. Last time we’ve seen such device (from in-the-wild photos), the rumored DROID 5, was in August/September of last year, and no other information has been released afterwards. We gotta wonder has this phone been cancelled, and perhaps more importantly – if it’s…
