Android Oreo has been out for months now but, naturally, most OEMs haven’t been quick to jump into it. But they do say “better late than never” and, to be fair, it isn’t exactly that late yet anyway. As if scheduled to coincide with Thanksgiving, some manufacturers have gotten the ball rolling on Android 8.0 Oreo (sadly not 8.1) for … Continue reading

Amazon’s Alexa at launch felt like the company was trying to create a digital assistant to compete with the likes of Google Assistant and Siri, but it has since evolved to be much more than that. This is made pretty clear where back in September, the company announced the Echo Button accessory.
For those unfamiliar, the Echo Button was launched a couple of months ago and was created as an accessory to help facilitate Alexa-powered games, such as Beat the Intro, Fourth Down Football Trivia, and so on. It functions pretty much like what you see on game shows, where when a question is asked by the Echo, those who know the answer can press the Echo Button to “buzz in”.
In fact the folks at Hasbro announced back then that they were working on a version of Trivial Pursuit that would work with the Echo Button. The accessory is currently available for pre-order where it is priced at $20 for a pack of two. At the moment it doesn’t seem like there is a huge list of games that will work with it, but presumably more will be developed over time.
Like we said, it is clear that Amazon wants its Echo devices and Alexa to be more than what they are. Last month the company announced that they would be launching premium Alexa skills that users could access via a paid subscription.

With the iPhone X, it marks the first time that Apple has used OLEDs for their iPhones. It is expected to usher in a new era of iPhones that use the display technology, but if you were thinking that 2018 would be filled with OLED iPhones, think again because some analysts believe that Apple could continue to use LCDs for some models in 2018.
According to a report from Barron’s, it quotes Rosenblatt Securities’ Jun Zhang who claims that in a bid to help lower the price of the iPhones next year, Apple could use LCDs for some of the iPhones. “We believe Apple might bring down the cost of an iPhone X by using an LCD screen next year making the iPhone 8S a more differentiated product from the iPhone 7 and 8.”
However despite the use of LCDs, Zhang expects that Apple could bring the iPhone X features into 2018’s iPhones, with the main difference being their display technology. As it stands the iPhone X is priced at $999 which is the price of the base 64GB model, with the price going up if customers opt for the 256GB model.
Zhang’s prediction is actually one that we’ve heard before back in a report from October, but Zhang’s report does provide additional insights. Whether or not they’ll pan out remains to be seen, so take it with a grain of salt for now.
