A tablet is meant to be an alternative communications device to the smartphone, and many of us do happen to own a tablet that is a secondary productivity device. Well, while our smartphones might continue to be our primary portable media player that keeps us entertained on long road trips or across trans-Atlantic flights, this does not mean that we should discount the usefulness of a tablet. AT&T has come up with something interesting in the form of the AT&T Primetime, an exclusive tablet from the mobile carrier that comes loaded with entertainment and productivity features to help you get started right out of the box.

You will be able to pick up the AT&T Primetime for a mere $10 each month for 20 months in the form of an AT&T installment plan, or you can always settle for a $29.99 initial outlay which will be accompanied by a 2-year contract. This exclusive tablet from the mobile carrier will come with a slew of entertainment and productivity features such as TV Mode. TV Mode enables access to your favorite video apps such as DIRECTV in a single quick touch or swipe.

Not only that, AT&T Unlimited Plus or AT&T Unlimited Choice customers do have the option of adding in AT&T Primetime to their unlimited wireless plan as long as they are comfortable with the additional $20 monthly fee. Hardware specifications of the AT&T Primetime include a high-quality HD display, incredible Dolby audio sound via its dual front-facing speakers, a long-lasting 9,070mAh battery of up to 11 hours, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. In fact, getting started is so easy, since there is built-in Google Docs and split screen features that makes it all too easy to perform edits and multi-task at once. Any takers?

According to the rumors, this year’s iPhone 8 is expected to sport a new design and a new OLED display. The new design is said to feature a bezel-less display where we heard it could pack a 5-inch display but at the same time due to the lack of bezels, will allow the iPhone 8 to be roughly around the same size of the smaller iPhone 7s 4.7-inch display.

However it seems that come 2019, that could change because in a report from ET News out of Korea, next year’s iPhones are expected to pack much larger displays. The report claims that Apple is looking into launching two iPhones next year, one with a 5.85-inch display and the other with a 6.46-inch display, both of which are larger than the existing Plus model which has a 5.5-inch display.

Apparently Apple has already started development work with Samsung Display who will be supplying the OLED panels to the Cupertino company. The report goes on to add that prior to this, Apple was looking into display sizes of 5.28-inches and 6.46-inches, but apparently due to the demand for larger displays, Apple ditched the 5.28-inch model for the 5.85-inch model.

Now these displays sound quite monstrous, but assuming Apple maintains the bezel-less design, they might actually prove to be rather manageable. As it stands the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a 6.3-inch display, but the lack of bezels means that it isn’t quite as unwieldy as you might think, although your mileage might vary. Obviously it’s too early to tell if these rumors hold any weight, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

Now if you’re in the market for a new set of speakers that looks stylish and will fit in with your home’s interior design, you might be interested to learn that Logitech has recently taken the wraps off the Logitech MX Sound.

This is the latest set of speakers from the company which we have to admit looks pretty damn sleek, or at least more so compared to some of the company’s previous offerings. Of course these speakers are more than just its looks because Logitech has included quite a few interesting features, such as motion-activated backlit controls, high-end drivers, and also rear-facing port tubes.

It will also allow users to pair up to two Bluetooth devices at once, meaning that you won’t have to keep pairing/unpairing when using different devices. According to Philippe Depallens, vice president and general manager of Logitech Audio, “With MX Sound you now can have amazing audio in a product designed to complement even the most premium desktop environment. This exceptional speaker was designed from the ground up to provide an immersive experience whether you are streaming from your computer, smartphone or tablet.”

#IFA2017 – These days taking just “normal” photos aren’t enough, and with virtual reality becoming more mainstream, the need to be able to take photos and videos in 360-degrees is becoming more necessary than ever. If you’re looking to create VR content, then you might be interested to learn that Ricoh has recently announced the Theta V 360-degree camera.

Note that this is not the first time that Ricoh has dabbled in VR because earlier this year, the company unveiled a 360-degree camera, so in reality the Theta V is not the first VR-capable camera by the company. However unlike the previous model, the Theta V is capable of capturing 4K footage which should help make 360-degree videos a bit more realistic due to the added details.

However in addition to being able to capture photos and video, the Theta V is also capable of spatial audio recording, high-speed image transfer, and is also capable of wireless remote playback, which Ricoh claims is the world’s first for a 360-degree camera. Of course whether or not you need such features is up to you, but Ricoh will be accepting pre-orders for it right away.

For those who are interested, the Ricoh Theta V is priced at $430 and will be available for pre-order via Ricoh’s website.
