Moto 360 review Eye catcher

Image
Announced back in March, Motorolas Moto 360 is undoubtedly one of the hottest wearable devices of the year. The Android Wear flagship is the first device of its kind to effectively blur the lines between a smartwatch and a regular mechanical timepiece in terms of design. We call the Moto 360 an Android Wear flagship for a good reason. The gadget is the first and will probably remain the only smartwatch developed with direct input from the search giant. Motorola only recently changed ownership from Google to Lenovo. Moto 360 is unique not only because of its appearance, but internals too. Motorolas creation is the only Android Wear device to swap Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 for a Texas Instruments chipset. Check out the devices key features below. Key features 1.56" LCD display; 320 x 290 pixels; 205ppi; Corning Gorilla Glass 3 TI OMAP 3 chipset; 512MB RAM; 4GB of built-in storage 320mAh battery rated at a full day of mixed use; Qi wireless charging with bundled cradle 46mm in diameter...

Two million iPhone 6 reservations placed in the first 6 hours in China

Image
Apple has officially announced the pricing and availability for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus just two days ago. The smartphone duo will kick off on October 17, while the online pre-orders start a week earlier - on October 10. Apple Retail pickups will be available as well, the official store reservations begin on October 14. Quite expectedly other official Apple partners - both retail stores and major carriers - have already begun taking reservations for the iPhone 6. The latest reports claims 2,000,000 reservations have been placed just in the first 6 hours of their opening. And this number is not the final one, because of inconclusive statistics. Keep in mind though that you dont need to leave a deposit or anything for those reservations so its unclear how many of those will transfer to actual sales. According to the report, most of the reservations are for the 64GB versions of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - CNY 6,088 (€780) and CNY 6,888 (€883) respe...

Motorola Moto 360 to get a gold version soon

Image
The Motorola Moto 360 is the most sought after smartwatch currently on the market and chances it will remain like this at least until the IFA-announced devices hit the shelves. However the US company is hoping its first smart wearable will retain its popularity even after that and is ready to spice it up a bit to achieve it. Motorola posted the following picture on its official website, showing the Moto 360 in three different colors – black, silver and gold. The smartwatch is currently only offered in silver and black, so it could either be a mistake by someone on the Motorola design team, or simply a case of someone jumping the gun on an upcoming announcement. The series of events that came after the image was published makes us strongly believe that it’s a case of the latter, though. After the guys from  Android Police  noticed the promo image, they immediately contacted Motorola for comment. The immediate response? The image was replaced with the one you see on the left bel...

Apple betting on itself buying back 14billion worth of shares

Image
Apple has repurchasing a whopping $14 billion worth of its own shares after the share price dropped 8% in the aftermath of thet Q1 financial report.  And while many rush to the conclusion that Apple is in dire straits because of its continually flailing share cost Tim Cook describes the move to repurchase Apple shares at the lower price as “aggressive”, “opportunistic” and that “It means we are betting on Apple”. Combining the $14 billion in shares repurchase with last year’s $26 billion we’re at $40 billion total. This is all part of Apple’s $100 billion capital return program, which will end with $60 billion in total share repurchases by the end of 2015. Tim Cook told the Wallstreet Journal that Apple has bought 21 companies in the last 15 months, none of which costing more than $1 billion for Apple but that the company is always ready (and has looked) to buy a big company if it fits Apple’s needs and long-term interests. As for the dip in shares – Tim Cook said “You ...

Asustek apologizes for ZenFone pricing dispute

Image
TAIPEI -- Taiwans Asustek (華碩) Computer Inc. apologized yesterday for pricing its low-cost ZenFone smartphone models higher in Taiwan than in China, which has created negative controversy for the PC vendor over the past week. “We are truly sorry for the inconvenience we have brought to Taiwanese consumers,” Asustek Chairman Jonney Shih (施崇棠) told a press briefing in Taipei. “We are not doing well in some aspects and we will take the blame with an open mind.” Asustek CEO Jerry Shen (沈振來) admitted that the firms decision to upgrade ZenFone models for the China market to better hardware specifications was to take into account the stiff competition from Chinese handset maker Xiaomi Corp.s new Hongmi Note, a 5.5-inch octa-core smartphone that starts from only 799 Chinese yuan (US$128). The apology came a week after Asustek announced its ZenFone line in Taiwan on April 8 with a price tag of NT$4,990 (US$166) for a 5-inch model and NT$6,990 for a 6-inch model. When the ZenF...

Filtered images Huawei Mate 7 Compact

Image
Only a couple of days we heard first heard of Huawei Mate 7 Compact, which stated that it could make an appearance at the event Huawei at MWC in Barcelona, but has not been needed more time to be filtered what could be the first photographs that show the devices in question. The we teach.  First images of Mate 7 Compact  What would this new Huawei Mate 7 Compact? Well as you can see in the images, quite similar to Huawei Mate 7 standard as far as design is concerned, including the metal case, it seems, although yes it is possible to see changes in the shape and location of the speakers in the front and even on the back cover.  The similarity with the Huawei Mate 7 however, was taken for granted, being the big question actually much smaller the model “compact”, since the first 6 inches leave a fairly wide range of possibilities. Unfortunately, the photos do not allow us to draw conclusions, although the first rumors point to 5.5 inches, the size on the line by coming phablets betting mo...
