Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier this year at CES 2014, Razer announced their first wearable which comes in the form of the Razer Nabu. The Nabu is not a smartwatch and appears to be more of a band, and perhaps to capitalize on China’s growing economy and the demand for wearables, Razer has recently announced that they will be bringing the Nabu over to China.

This will be a collaborative effort between Razer and a handful of companies, such as Tencent, Tencent Games, JD.com, Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts, and FISE World. The Razer Nabu is expected to be made available in Q4 2014 this year, so if you’ve had your eye on the device, you can expect to get your hands on one later this year.

For those unfamiliar with the Nabu because you missed its announcement earlier this year, it is a smart band that can be worn around your wrist. It comes with a small display that will be able to show users information such as emails, calls, text messages, and notifications in general.

The Nabu for China is expected to come integrated with a couple of apps, such as WeChat where users can exchange contact information with another person wearing a Nabu just by “high fiving” them. Another app would be the Timi Run Everyday app, which is basically a fitness app that converts the amount of steps walked, calories burnt, and etc., into in-game rewards.

Pricing of the Razer Nabu has yet to be determined but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more info.

Samsung is seriously gunning for your potential smart home dollars – enough to draft in (and pay for) David Hasselhoff and his early-eighties partner, KITT. The car ain’t happy. (And did he just say what I think he did?)…

There are a few ways that one can pay for their meals at McDonald’s. You can either pay by cash, or depending on which country you are in, you can pay using a debit/credit card just by tapping the terminal. That being said, it seems that in the future you could possibly use your mobile phone to make your payments at the fast food outlet.

This is according to an internal memo (pictured above) which shows that McDonald’s is getting ready to start training their staff on the new system, which as you can see in the image above will take advantage of NFC to facilitate these payments. The system is expected to roll out on the 15th of September which is why staff members are expected to be trained on it before then.

This seems to be in line with an earlier rumor this year from Business Insider. The report claimed that McDonald’s was getting ready to launch a new mobile app that would allow customers to place an order via their phones or tablets, and be able to pick up their order when they arrive at the store, and possibly make payments using their mobile devices as well.

It is unclear if the roll out of the new NFC system will be part of that, but we guess we will just have to wait and see. It also does not seem like this move by McDonald’s has anything to do with the iPhone 6 and the rumors that it will sport NFC technology that will facilitate Apple’s plans for a mobile payment service.

Motorola and Verizon have a special relationship in which Motorola would release devices exclusive to Verizon under the Droid branding. Now the DroidLanding Twitter account has been inactive for a while now, although a recent post has some speculating that we could be in for an announcement in the near future.

The most recent Motorola handset to grace Verizon would be the Motorola Luge, which is basically a rebranded Motorola Droid RAZR M so we guess technically it’s not exactly a new phone. There are rumors that the Moto X+1 could be making its way onto Verizon but unless Verizon rebrands the phone, there is a chance that this might not be the Droid we are looking for.

What this means is that there is a good chance that Motorola and Verizon could have new Droid handsets in the works that they have yet to announcement. Either way this all just speculation for now, but if you were a fan of Motorola’s Droid lineup on Verizon, then perhaps you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for more info, or just check back with us at a later date for the details.

In the meantime is anyone else excited to see potentially new Motorola Droid phones make their way back onto Verizon’s network?
