Okay, I'm going to report on a new smartphone. This isn't the new iPhone or Galaxy S series. This is the YEZZ Billy 4.7. Never heard of it? Yeah, me neither.

The S850 Slim All-Glass Smartphone from Lenovo
I don't think I missed this phone at CES 2014, so I'm just going to say that this is another smartphone announced at MWC 2014. The S850 is interesting as it has an all-glass body.

SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
The SkyBell is a product that is very similar to the Swann Doorphone Video Intercom that I review a few weeks ago. The Doorphone Video Intercom had a camera that was activated by the push of a doorbell button, and it was wirelessly connected to a monitor. The difference the SkyBell is a video doorbell that connects to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The doorbell unit has a … [Read more...] about SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer saves lives on a mobile level

On second thought, I do want a Galaxy Gear!
I know that I have been very negative about smartwatches in the past. Yeah, I had that message/post to Samsung a while ago, but I had a chance to finally try out the Galaxy Gear for myself.
