LG to round out its smartwatch lineup with... a round watch

LG plans to launch a new smartwatch next week. Like the company’s first G Watch, it’s expected to run Google’s Android Wear software. But while the LG G Watch has a square design, the new LG G Watch R will be… round. The Korean electronics company posted a teaser video on YouTube… and although it’s […]

Deals of the Day (8-21-2014)

Toshiba’s new $199 Encore 2 WT8 tablet may be one of the first Windows tablets to launch with a list price under $200. But it’s hardly the only tablet in that price range. It usually doesn’t take long for retailers to start marking down prices on Windows notebooks and tablets… so a number of models […]

ECS 7 inch tablet with Clover Trail+ hits the FCC

ECS is a device manufacturer based in Taiwan that produces hardware for other companies. One of those devices just showed up at the FCC website, and while it has the specs of a relatively unexciting Android tablet, I have the feeling that the ECS TC69CA1 is worth keeping an eye on. That’s because the specs […]

Sony Xperia Z3 specs confirmed by Chinese regulatory listings (maybe)

Sony’s next flagship smartphone is probably coming soon… maybe as soon as September when a number of gadget makers will launch new devices at the IFA trade show in Berlin. Some data about the Sony Xperia Z3 leaked earlier this summer. Now a few listings at the Chinese version of the FCC confirm most of […]

Microsoft Surface wireless display dongle might be in the works

Microsoft might be preparing to launch a wireless display dongle. Plug it into your TV’s HDMI port and you can stream content from your tablet, laptop, or phone to the big screen. It’d be sort of like Google’s Chromecast… but probably more limited in scope different (see comments below for discussion on this point). Windows […]

Now you can root Google's Chromecast (again)

It’s been over a year since Google started selling Chromecast. The $35 device plugs into your TV and lets you use a phone, tablet, or desktop web browser as a remote control while streaming internet video from Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and many other services. Shortly after the Chromecast launched, developers started trying to find […]

Deals of the Day (8-22-2014)

If you believe the rumor/leak mill, Google’s next-gen Nexus tablet will be a 9 inch model that’s built by HTC and it could launch by early October. But it probably won’t be as cheap as last year’s model… especially if you pick up a refurbished model. Right now Woot is selling the 2013 Google Nexus […]
