In this day and age, many of us own different kinds of gizmos wherever we go. The smartphone is definitely one of them, and it does not look as though it is going to be phased out anytime soon. Apart from that, another accompanying device is more often than not the seemingly essential tablet device, and for some of us who tend to carry out plenty of phone conversations while driving, a Bluetooth headset would also come in handy. There are moments when you might actually forget to charge up your device beforehand, which leaves you in a quandary later on in the day. Now, if only there was a portable power source to help you out, that’d be neat, no? Enter the £29.99 Joosa Power Charger, where it has enough energy reserves to charge up the average smartphone up to 4 times.
In order to know just how much juice this puppy has left, all you need to do is to give it a good shake, and the LEDs within will let you know the remaining power left.

We have been hearing a fair bit of rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy S5, and unsurprisingly so given that we’re approaching that time where Samsung is expected to make an announcement of sorts. According to the latest rumor, it seems that if you were hoping that Galaxy S5 to adopt a curved display similar to that of the Galaxy Round, you could be disappointed as sources claim that Samsung is highly unlike to adopt the Youm technology for its next-gen flagship device amidst reports that there is insufficient production capacity. We would have thought it is because curved displays at the moment couldn’t feature high resolutions, but we suppose that could be a valid reason as well.
So far we have heard how the Samsung Galaxy S5 may or may not adopt a metal body, and how the phone could even adopt a Super AMOLED display with 2K resolution, giving it an impressive pixel density of 560ppi. Of course all of this are rumors for now, so take it with a grain of salt. Still no word on when Samsung plans to announce said device, but rumors have pegged MWC 2014 as a possible candidate, while other rumors are claiming sometime in April. Either way we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled, but in the meantime what do you guys think? Is it that big of a deal if the Galaxy S5 skips on the curved display?

Earlier this year, Sony announced their brand new console, the PlayStation 4, and one of the features of the PS4 was the Remote Play feature which was somewhat similar to what Nintendo had in mind with the Wii U and the GamePad, where gamers could mirror what was being played on the screen onto the handheld console. However given that it wasn’t completely necessary, we wouldn’t have been surprised if PS Vita sales weren’t affected, but boy were we wrong! According to a report by MCV, they claim that sales of the PS Vita actually rose during the PS4’s launch week in the UK.
The numbers state that the Vita’s sales rose by 68% during launch week, and rose again by an additional 65% in the following week. According to Sony’s Senior Product Manager, Ben Law, Vita sales are apparently seeing strong week-on-week growth and pointed at the Remote Play as being a huge incentive for gamers to get their hands on the handheld console, describing it as “either as a stand-alone device or as the perfect companion to PS4.” This is undoubtedly extra money that we’re not sure all gamers would be willing to spend on, but the numbers don’t lie. What do you guys think? Any of you decided to get a Vita for Remote Play?

While the World of Warcraft movie has been talked about for the longest time ever, it looks like things are well on the way with filming expected to begin in 2014. A couple of weeks ago, a partial cast list was revealed although the specific roles of each actor and actress was not mentioned. Now according to a tweet by Legendary, two new cast members have been revealed in the form of Daniel Wu and Clancy Brown. For those unfamiliar, Daniel Wu is a pretty famous actor from Hong Kong and has starred opposite Jackie Chan in the New Police Story movie, as well as with Maggie Q of Nikita fame, and in the movie Naked Weapon.
Clancy Brown might be a more familiar name as he has lent his voice to shows such as Spongebob Squarepants where he voices Mr. Krabs. He has also, we’re not sure if it’s by coincidence, voiced characters from the Warcraft franchise before, such as Thrall in Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans (which has been cancelled), and Scourgelord Tyrranus in the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Once again who exactly will they be voicing remains unknown, but feel free to speculate! The World of Warcraft movie was originally planned for a release on the 18th of December 2015, but due to conflicts with the upcoming Star Wars movie, the film has since been delayed to 2016. So, who else is pleased with these new additions to the cast list?

Charm bracelets are usually thought of as an accessory worn mainly by women, but it looks like the company Mighty Cast is hoping to dispel that myth with the Nex Band, a charm bracelet of sorts designed for gamers and those interested in wearable technology. The company plans to sell the bracelet along with a host of different charms that the wearer can mix and match to achieve different objectives, which could focus either on gaming, social, or maybe even fitness. However given that Mighty Cast was not particularly specific about what sort of apps or features would be available, it’s pretty much open to speculation at this point in time.
The website states that they will be accepting pre-orders soon, but no specific dates were mentioned yet. If anything this kind of reminds us of toys and gadgets in real life that interact with software, such as the Skylanders series of toys in which they toy is not just a toy, but acts as controller/interface of sorts which can be used to interact with the game as well. Will the Nex Band appeal to hardcore gamers? Or will the end result be directed at young children or tweens who are looking for something novel to mess around with? We guess we will have to wait and see, but in the meantime what do you guys make of it? Good idea?
