BlackBerry KEY2 durability test: perfectly uneventful

Despite what the smartphone market seems to say, BlackBerry remains steadfast in its iconic QWERTY feature. As proof of that, it recently launched the KEY2 to succeed last year’s KEYone.

Peak Design Unveils The Travel Line Backpack

Photographers are probably more than familiar with the company Peak Design. For those who aren’t familiar, Peak Design has created quite a few camera-related backpacks and messenger bags, along with a bunch of camera accessories such as clips, straps, and so on. Now it looks like they are back with their latest offering dubbed The Travel Line.

However unlike Peak Design’s previous crowdfunding efforts like the Everyday Messenger or Everyday Backpack, The Travel Line is more than just a bag. There will of course be a bag, but it will also consist of what Peak Design is calling “Packing Tools” which are a series of modular compartments that will help you pack your bag in a neater and more organized manner.

These Packing Tools will vary in terms of what they can hold, for example there will be a Packing Tool designed for your camera equipment where they can be separated and protected by dividers. There will also be a pouch designed to hold your tech accessories, such as hard drives, cables, chargers, and so on, along with pouches for toiletries and more.

The backpack itself will be a 45L backpack that can be expanded or compressed depending on your needs. It will also feature side access similar to the Everyday Backpack, carry straps that are hidden to prevent unsightly dangly strings, a stowable waist belt, weatherproof construction, and a 400d shell made from recycled plastics.

The backpack itself is priced at $235 but if you want all the bells and whistles, it will be priced starting at $399 and will go up to $459.

YouTube Testing New ‘Explore’ Tab On The iOS App

One of the features of Instagram is the Explore section on the app where users can find posts that are either popular or that Instagram thinks they might like based on accounts they follow. This is a good way of discovering new posts. Now it looks like YouTube could be taking a page out of Instagram’s book.

Announced on the Google Product Forums, YouTube has revealed that they will be testing out a new Explore tab on its iOS app. However YouTube notes that this will be a very small test group so don’t be surprised if you’re not part of it. YouTube also makes it clear that this will not be replacing the Trending tab and that the Explore tab will exist alongside of it.

According to YouTube, “With more videos coming to YouTube every minute we’re always experimenting with ways to make it easier for people to find, watch and share the videos that matter most to them. One thing we’ll be testing on iOS over the new few weeks is a new ‘Explore’ tab, which will help you discover more videos, topics and channels that you might not otherwise see. We also hope Explore will be a space where creators of all sizes, including emerging creators, can have their content discovered.”

At the moment YouTube on the desktop already offers up Recommended videos on the front page, so we imagine that this Explore tab should have similar functionality. It is unclear if YouTube plans on making this a mainstay so we guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
