Samsung is ramping up it's introductions faster every year it seems. The gear was followed by the Gear2 in less than a year and, yes, you've got it, a "new" Gear2 is around the block. As is a new Samsung Galaxy Note (the 4 probably) and that is no coincidence. Many of them will be […]
Right!. The massive part of this post is a press message about a chipmaker and a semi-conductor maker that see a happy future to together.

You don't have to be clairvoyant to predict success for Tizen to based mainly on the ability to run a massive number of already known apps. Apps, either on iOS or Android have changed the world of telephony, a lesson both Nokia and Blackberry did not heed to, and we all know about their […]
Lots of secrets dribble into an editors' life, and more often than not you mention it, look into it (which is kinda hard as it's a secret innit..) or try to combine information, rumors (and planted rumors as well) and observations into the melting pot called my brain. This time a pattern seems to emerge […]
Local Motors was approached by Joe Speed, at the time IBM's Internet of Things leader, to collaborate on creating an open source connected car, together with IBM and Intel for the IMB Impact show in Las Vegas earlier this year. A challenge it was and it opened a new world to a company not known for it's […]

Yes, 1000+ words on your Gear2 smart watch. That's a lot of words to read in 5 minutes, let alone in one minute. How? Just one word at a time. It's done by an app developed by Spritz, a Boston start-up company that found a way to improve the use of small screens like the […]
In spite of the Galaxy S5 getting a hot welcome, selling some 30% more than the S4 did, analysts are in doubt of the the S5 outselling the S4 in numbers.

Cell phones, or rather the people calling me, have the tendency to do it when my cell is tucked away in a raincoat, which I'm wearing to protect myself against rain, or snow, or hail. By the time I've found it I'm wet and the caller is talking to my answering machine. Now a Samsung […]
Samsung introduced the functionalities of the Gear 2 series at Barcelona's MWC2014. Which makes sense as most people buy gadgets and tools to use them: The nitty gritty doesn't really interest them.

I don't know about you but my screens gets bigger. A note 3 replaced my nokia e-7 and I'm about to replace my 22" monitor with 27 or more. Yep, I'm in full denial of reading glasses. And then there's a Gear2 with my name on it, or so I hope. Scrolling 80+ whatsapp or […]
I'm a desk chair jockey and I know I should move more. Now some of you use stuff like endomodo, which was one of the few health-apps available for symbian, and I now have it on my Samsung Note 3. Bit clumsy on my wrist though and sure, Samsung came to my rescue: No more […]
