Hasta La Gadget!

As you might have heard by now, the LG G Watch is currently up for pre-order via Google Play. The watch is expected to ship in July but if you were looking for an alternate place to purchase the device, word on the street has it that the LG G Watch could soon be sold by Verizon as well. This is according to a recent post by @evleaks who claims that the LG G Watch will be offered by both Verizon and AT&T.

Previously AT&T had announced that they would be selling the LG G Watch, so we guess it’s not really that much of a stretch to think that other carriers could be interested in getting in on the action as well. Unfortunately it was not mentioned if the LG G Watch sold could be the rumored SIM-enabled version, but chances are it might just be the regular one.

Previous rumors have suggested that the LG G Watch could be gaining SIM functionality which would be pretty convenient for users who don’t want to pair it with their smartphone for connectivity, but a later rumor suggested that the SIM version of the LG G Watch could be exclusive to South Korea, at least for the time-being.

In any case Verizon has yet to make an official announcement regarding their plans to sell the LG G Watch, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled and will update you guys on any announcements, prices, and release dates in the future!

Remember when the LA School District announced an iPad buying program in which they would be handing out iPads to students who are part of their district? Well it looks like they are planning on expanding that program to include laptops and hybrid devices as well. This new program will be kicking off in the fall which will see teachers and students trial out a laptop program to see if it will be a good fit.

So why the change of heart? Why not tablets all the way? Well the answer is one size certainly does not fit all, at least as far as education is concerned. According to a LA school board member, Monica Ratliff who spoke to the LA Times, “Why would we treat all our students – whether they are a first-grader or a high school freshman – as if they all had the same technology needs? They don’t.”

It was also problems with the iPads that caused the school district to rethink its program. The tablets were meant for educational purposes, but students managed to figure out how to hack the iPads to allow it to be used for other things, like web surfing and gaining access to social media. There was also issue with educational materials being incomplete, which is why under the new program, materials from three different publishers will be trialed.

When it comes to smartphone cameras, Nokia has been known for putting really good cameras out there, like with the Nokia Lumia 1020 and the Lumia 1520, for example. However with its Android offerings, like the recently announced Nokia X2, it seems that Microsoft/Nokia decided to go with something low-end instead.

However could things soon be changing? Could Microsoft be getting ready for a Nokia Android smartphone with a killer camera? Well that’s what a job listing by Nokia seems to suggest. According to the job listing, it calls for an individual who is familiar with designing camera drivers. Interestingly enough, one of the skills that Microsoft is looking forward in that individual is experience with developing for Android.

At the same time it seems that Microsoft could be looking for someone who can develop across platforms. Based on the job description, it reads, “The person we are looking for will take responsibility of designing and implementation of camera drivers for different camera solutions on variety of platforms.”

Based on that, we can only assume that Microsoft is looking for someone to develop camera solutions, and that it is possible that these camera solutions could be used in their Android devices. Of course all of this is merely speculation for now, but what do you guys think? Could Microsoft be looking to step up their Android efforts?
