We all knew that Apple was going to announce something big today on September 9th, and we thought it was going to be the new iPhone and the iWatch. So what did they announce? It started off with Apple saying they had lots of products (plural) to report, and while they had a new smartphone and smartwatch, it was not quite what expected. Apple began with the new version of … [Read more...] about What Apple announced today

Samsung unveils the Galaxy Alpha
The Galaxy S series might have some...friendly rivalry, as Samsung has revealed its newest smartphone, the Alpha. I will say that I like the new aesthetic with the metal frame as well as a soft back cover. The metallic construction is the biggest new feature. Another possibly new feature is an octa-core which is a quad 1.8GHz and quad 1.3GHz or quad-core 2.5GHz … [Read more...] about Samsung unveils the Galaxy Alpha
Check out Smartwatch Reviews
As much as I would like to say that I am proud of this site, it is not mine. This would be the first time that I have reported on any site. This is not counting my countless "Source" that I generally put at the end of every post. So why am I starting to report on another site? Simple. I write for Smartwatch Reviews. I wrote for other sites in the past that I have … [Read more...] about Check out Smartwatch Reviews
Smartwatches could get a new way of interface with this technology
I have talked about smartwatches before, and how they are really made for just notifications that are in sync with your smartphone. The problem is that one's finger is almost as big as the screen, so you can't really use apps in the same way you can on a smartphone or tablet. According to researchers from Carnegie Mellon, the solution is to make the smartwatch controller … [Read more...] about Smartwatches could get a new way of interface with this technology
Will.i.am working on a new smartwatch
One of the things that I like about will.i.am is not only is he one of the Black-Eyed Peas, but he's really into tech. I remember a while ago that he was creating a case for the iPhone, one that would make Apple's phone would look like a camera. Now, will.i.am is working on a smartwatch. It is true that almost every company is working on a smartwatch, but his is … [Read more...] about Will.i.am working on a new smartwatch
Rufus Cuff could be the new method of communicating
Remember when I said that I didn't want a smartwatch? Yeah, I sort of recanted on that one. I guess I sort of realized that there are some uses for a smartwatch, and this Rufus Cuff could be a start of a new trend. The Rufus Cuff has a three-inch touchscreen and it has the ability to be a speakerphone and video chat. Oh, it also has the ability to read alerts and send … [Read more...] about Rufus Cuff could be the new method of communicating
Google announces the Android Wear
Today, Google announced a new type of wearable computing with Android Wear. This is apparently designed for watches, not to mention other forms of wearable computing. You can see from a video at my source, that Android Wear is designed to essentially anything you need on the go. You can watch someone find out sports scores, how many bus stops to their stop, and how to … [Read more...] about Google announces the Android Wear
Exetech XS-3 is a smartphone and smartwatch
Just yesterday, we reported on the Headwatch, which is essentially a smartwatch and Bluetooth headset at the same time. Today, we'll report on the Exetech XS-3, which is essentially a smartwatch smartphone, for lack of a better word. Granted, you will have a smartwatch that will stick up 2 cm from your wrist, but you will have an Android 4.0 device with dual-core MediaTek … [Read more...] about Exetech XS-3 is a smartphone and smartwatch

Samsung announces the Galaxy S5 Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2014
I suppose that we all knew that this was coming, since the Galaxy S III and S IV were such hits, it only stands to reason that an S5 would be showing up soon. Especially in the light of Mobile World Congress, the annual mobile phone show in Barcelona, Spain. So what can be expected from the S5? I'll start with the most obvious difference, the larger screen. It is 5.1 … [Read more...] about Samsung announces the Galaxy S5 Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2014
LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Even though I was against smartwatches before, I am now starting to like them since my review of the Galaxy Gear. I have been hearing for a while that Apple is working on it own version of the smartwatch, and here is a another surprise, LG and Sony are apparently working on smartwatches as well. The one that LG is working on could be the G Arch, and it could be related to … [Read more...] about LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
See Nokia’s Wacky Smartwatch, the Facet!
One of the problems with smartwatches is the screen is so very small. What if there was a way to make the screen bigger? Well, you don't want to just put a tablet on your wrist, but many small screens that surround your wrist! This is Nokia's Facet, and you can watch the video to see six screens. They are all tied together with some weird elastic band that allows them to … [Read more...] about See Nokia’s Wacky Smartwatch, the Facet!
New Samsung Smartwatch Galaxy Gear Ad
I remember a while ago that I said something like "Hey, Samsung, maybe I don’t want a smartwatch, did you ever think of that?" After seeing the ad that you can see above, I might just change my mind. The advertisement shows that people have been using wristwatches as communicators since the invention of science fiction. For some reason, this seems to be in the realm of … [Read more...] about New Samsung Smartwatch Galaxy Gear Ad
A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
I have been seeing a lot of talk of smartwatches, and I'm still not convinced that I need one. I think Samsung has some sort of plan, but it is nothing compared to the A.I. Watch. Most smartwatches are just something to pair with a smartphone via Bluetooth, but what makes the A.I. smartwatch different is it can be a standalone Android phone. Yeah, a phone on our watch! … [Read more...] about A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
Hey, Samsung, maybe I don’t want a smartwatch, did you ever think of that?
Okay, just to let you know, this is one of those posts that I am doing in advance because, by the time you read this, I will be busy doing something else. If you think that headline was honest, what do you think of that? Today, I am going to talk smartwatches. I have heard about them for a while, and some companies even have them out by now. The purpose is to simply sync … [Read more...] about Hey, Samsung, maybe I don’t want a smartwatch, did you ever think of that?
