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…
Hot Accessories & Wearables from MWC 2015
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…
Windows Phone Bluetooth keyboard support coming soon!
Microsoft is finally adding support for Bluetooth keyboards to its mobile platform. Why it was missing from the original Windows Phone is beyond me; especially when we know that it existed even in Windows Mobile 6.x back in the day. I do understand that Windows Phone was written from scratch, but still… this sounds so…
8 Android tablets announced at Mobile World Congress
Last time we talked about new smartphones that were announced during Mobile World Congress; now we’re talking about tablets, namely those running Android OS.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs HTC One M9
Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 are two of the most interesting devices announced at Mobile World Congress. While you can’t miss with any of these two — both are top notch — we know that some folks “can’t live with a Samsung phone” or “just hate HTC.” Some man you just can’t reach.…
Samsung Pay unveiled to complement Sammy’s world domination ambitions
If Google and Apple can have their mobile payment services, so can Samsung. They are the world’s largest phone maker, after all. And they want to increase their ARPU, no matter what. No matter if no one uses their apps and platforms. No matter that people hate all the bloatware that comes with every Galaxy…
Samsung Gear VR for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge unveiled
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…
Nexus watch in works?
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…
