Hasta La Gadget!

I’m not sure about you guys, but I love my speakers and I have invested a fair bit of money in setting them up. That being said I would never consider using my speakers as a snack tray, but then again why would anybody, right? Well spotted at MWC 2013 were a set of speakers called the Josiah by Kwamecorp. These are a set of speakers made from ceramic and pair with your smartphone/tablet via Bluetooth. It features a clean and minimalist design and the fact that it is made from ceramic should fit in nicely with your kitchenware.  In fact it even comes with a pair of cutouts at the top where you could fit things in, peanuts, jellybeans, cookies, coins, keys, etc.

There’s a version that comes with a DAB radio that features an exotic wooden top, but that will cost you slightly more. So much will the Josiah speakers set you back? Well the wireless Bluetooth version will cost around $481, while the version with the DAB radio will go for around $511. More information on these speakers can be found on Kwamecorp’s website.

Corning is a very old company having been around for 161 years now. The company supplies glass and other items to some of the largest companies in the technology world, including Apple. Recently some of the most consistent rumors for Apple devices have been concerning the iWatch smartwatch.

That watch has been tipped to have a curved glass screen. Before a device with a curved screen can come to market, glass suppliers have to be able to provide flexible glass. Corning has announced that it sees a three-year wait before companies start making flexible display units using its Willow glass material.

Willow glass is a type of glass that is made in a roll in a method similar to how a news press works. The flexible glass will allow manufacturers to create curved or flexible displays. Corning also notes that it is currently producing the glass and is putting forth “a lot of effort” to teach “very big name” customers how to handle the glass rolls.

Considering that Corning is a supplier for Apple, and Apple is trying to make a curved screen watch, you have to wonder if one of the first products we see using Willow glass might be the iWatch. A Corning executive did say that the company’s Willow glass would be used in some similar products this year such as a flexible barrier for solar panels or a thin film behind some touch panels. The executive noted that samples of Willow glass were sent to makers of smartphones, tablets, and TVs last summer.

A couple of days ago Real Racing 3 was announced for both iOS and Android. This is the third installment in the Real Racing franchise and the graphics in the game has definitely been taken up a notch. Now if you’ve enjoyed the franchise and you’d like to show how much you’ve enjoyed it, Steel Series has announced the Real Racing 3 headset. Priced at $100, the Real Racing 3 headset is painted a stark white with the Real Racing 3 logo on the side in a shiny chrome-like finish. The ear plates have also been designed to resemble a speedometer as well and the headset will feature 40mm driver speaker units.

The headset will also come with a detachable cable for those who accidentally tug on the cables during gameplay or walking, an in-line microphone that allows the headset to double up as a hands free piece, and if your friend would like to hear what’s going on while you play the game, the headset will also come with an additional port that your friend can plug their headset into. Steel Series has typically been known to create gaming peripherals for computer and consoles, so it’s a little odd that they have decided to create one for a mobile game. Either way with it being priced at $100, it does seem a little steep, but to each their own, right?

Yesterday we reported on a rumor that Samsung could launch the Galaxy S4 in different versions, with one version featuring Samsung’s new Exynos 5 chipset, while the other will sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600. Now according to the folks at SamMobile, they have additional details about the Galaxy S4, claiming that there will 6 variants of the Android handset. Before you get too worked up, fret not because these variants are not processor variants, but rather different storage options and colors. Unsurprisingly the Galaxy S4 will come in two colors – white and black, and they will be available in three different storage options each.

The smallest storage option starts at 16GB, followed by 32GB and finally 64GB. For the most part we expect that storage won’t be a problem with the Galaxy S4. Since microSD card slots have typically come with Samsung’s Android handsets, you could get yourself a 16GB model and augment it with a 32GB microSD card slot, saving yourself some money in the process. Then again we guess there are some users who need the storage and might go for the 64GB model augmented with a 32GB microSD card. Either way hopefully all will be revealed on the 14^th of March, so stay tuned!
