Google I/O is in full swing over in San Francisco and, on the wearable front, the big news (apart from the exciting Daydream VR platform) is that Android Wear 2.0 – “the most significant Android Wear update since its launch two years ago” – is coming soon.Landing in the fall, Android Wear 2.0 evolves the smartwatch platform beyond anything the handful of minor incremental updates have done so far.
Lenovo have heralded the X1 Tablet as 'the 2 in 1 for business and the lightest and thinnest ThinkPad, and weighing in at under 1.1kg and under 13 mm with keyboard'. That doesn't even begin to do this newest ThinkPad justice.
Lenovo is already a well know producer of technology, and you're likely familiar with the brand in the laptop world. Thing is, it doesn't just deal in computers and in Asian markets it has a bustling smartphone business.It may have only recently purchased Motorola, a much more established name in the UK mobile market, but it's now looking it get its own-brand handsets onto our fair shores as well.Its first offering is the Lenovo K5, a budget phone that will set you back just £129 SIM-free, and from the looks of it that's a pretty good deal.
Lenovo has essentially taken its popular ThinkPad T460s design and shrunk it down into a more manageable frame with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016 edition. The ultrabook sports a similar black magnesium and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Similar to the T460s the X1 Carbon offers slight curves around the corners of the display lid and the bottom of the chassis, helping to spice up the otherwise professional simplistic aesthetic.
Every week seems to bring another indication from the supply chain about Apple dropping another key feature from the upcoming iPhone 7. With many popular features from rival handsets not expected to arrive until 2017′s presumptively titled iPhone 8, it’s nice to read about one technology that I hope Apple will bring to the iPhone 7. With so much ‘gee whizz’ delayed a year, could wireless charging be the big attraction of this year’s flagship iPhone launch?
Missed the news? Microsoft will be increasing its Xbox Live rates to R159 a month, making for a massive increase compared to the current R50 a month rate.That got us thinking, though… How much does it cost for a Xbox One and PS4, along with the necessary items (i.e. extra controllers and online subscriptions)?
More than two years on from the launch of the PS4, the field of excellent gaming headsets has started to fill out – no matter what price point you're looking at.Between Sony's own headsets and the bevy of third party cans from Polk Audio, Turtle Beach, Astro, Kingston, and SteelSeries, we've spent dozens of hours weighing the options to bring you our top picks.
Today's announcement of Google Home is likely to be the most exciting "living room" news that comes out of the company's annual developers conference, but that doesn't mean TV has been completely forgotten. Google today announced a bunch of new hardware partners for Android TV and Google Cast, its two solutions (just two!) for watching web content on TV screens.
