During IFA 2013 in Berlin last August, we got our first look at some of Archos’ new Android-powered tablets. Among those new Android-powered tablets was the Archos 101 XS 2 tablet that fit into the company’s Gen11 tablet range. At the time, Archos offered up most of the details on the tablet, but we didn’t […]
Google has plans to make better use of your Google+ profile picture—by throwing it up on the display of whoever you call, from early next year.

You’ve never heard of Kazam—because it’s a brand new manufacturer, set up by ex-HTC execs in the UK. But they’re offering up a range of new smartphones that come loaded with stock Android and, intriguingly, a policy which offers free broken screen replacement.

This week two former HTC executives have launched a smartphone brand called Kazam, complete with a whopping 5 models right out the gate. These smartphones are not aiming to present the sharpest displays, nor the most powerful processors – or the best cameras, for that matter. Instead they aim at a number of pressure points […]
Google appears to be getting serious about putting the whole modern device lineup on their newest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system software update here just days after the system was revealed in full. While you’ll be able to pick up the LG-made Google Nexus 5 right this minute, each of the four major US-based manufacturers […]
I’m not sure how I feel about a product designed to make it easier for people to take selfies with their smartphone camera. I’ll admit some selfies are pretty hot, but the inevitable duckface really ruins the whole medium.
To make selfies less about showing a picture of the camera in the mirror, Audiovox has announced the ShutterBall.
This round ball is a Bluetooth remote shutter actuator for the iPhone and some Samsung Galaxy devices. The remote control works in conjunction with an application available at no cost on Google Play and the App Store. Note that only the Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, or Note 2 are compatible with the Android app.
The ball uses low-energy Bluetooth technology and has a 60-foot range. It comes with a coin cell battery installed promising up to five years of use. The ShutterBall is available for $24.99(USD) in several colors and even ships with a stand to prop your smartphone up for selfie shooting.

We recently recommended you buy the Panasonic ST60 Plasma, because it’s the best TV. However, if that’s way out of your price range, or you don’t like Plasma, then this 50" Smart LED, also from Panasonic, which is selling for $1300 elsewhere, is only 750 bucks today on Amazon.

With the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat, Google begins an age in which their Google Now service is right up front and center – and you can opt-out from the outset. What you’ll find when you first start up the Nexus 5 is a series of option pages, much like versions of Android before […]
The Android underground was aflutter yesterday as keen-eyed obsessives spotted a device in press photo for Android they didn’t recognize – so they called it the Nexus 8. This device looked to be sporting a display significantly larger than that of the Nexus 7 while it kept similar-sized chassis. So similar, it would appear today, […]
Google just pushed a major update to its search app that effectively makes Google Now as useful on iOS as it is on Android. That means iPhone users can finally enjoy all those cool features like Google notifications telling you who won the World Series and what time to leave your house to make that appointment.
