Hasta La Gadget!

Chinese manufacturers of smartphones are starting to be a force to be reckoned with, and I am quite sure that in due time, some of them might even be the next Samsung or LG. Don’t laugh at this statement – I am quite sure that there were plenty of naysayers in the past that looked at Samsung when it first rolled out its mobile phones, and never really thought that it would be a world leader one day, let alone in the realm of consumer electronics. Stranger things have definitely happened in the past which could serve as a template for the future. The Oppo Find 7 has been long tipped for a debut at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, so let us take a peek at what this puppy will be able to offer. (more…)

It is undeniable that wearable technology will change the way we quantify ourselves. Already, trackers of all kinds can gather more data about us than ever before, and this is going to increase. However, data-gathering is not a goal in itself and making sense of the data to provide meaningful and actionable information to the user should always be the end-game. That’s why Ubergizmo and Gero are joining forces to give away health trackers.

It’s very hard, but that’s exactly the goal that GERO LAB has set for itself. They use mathematical models to identify risks of age-related diseases by analyzing data gathered by those devices. They have tracked data from 3000 Fitbit users thus far, and with your participation, they plan to refine and improve their work. You can enter to win one of three cool wearable devices. 

What can you win?

GERO will announce 10 winners and each will be able to win one of those three items:

1. A Fitbit Force (Activity tracker) (Value: $129.95)
2. A Fitbit Aria (Wireless scale) (Value: $129.95)
3. A Jawbone UP 24 (Activity tracker) (Value: $149.99) (more…)

Huawei came out swinging at CES 2014 and after a brief presentation of the state of the company’s business, by Colin Gilles (EVP, Huawei), Huawei’s Richard Yu (CEO, Consumer Business Group) introduced the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 to the world with a lively, interesting and humorous presentation. It was nice, but make no mistake about it: Huawei is out to compete with the best, and it was clear that the Mate 2 smartphone has been designed to compete with large phones like the Galaxy Note 3, and that Huawei also threw a few punches to Apple, especially when it comes to the tiny battery capacity of the iPhone 5S.

I feel like the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 has not been designed as an “inspirational” device, and it is not trying to make you happy, be your friend, or try improving aspects of your life that you have no need for. This is a no-nonsense phone which brings a powerful Snapdragon 800 chip and a monster 4050mAh battery which is further optimized with a host of software optimizations. (more…)

When it comes to consumer electronics design, Bang and Olufsen is one of my favorite companies. The Danish manufacturer has been using the wheel as a key component of its devices’ user interface for decades and the iPod was probably inpired by the wheel of the BM 6000 launched in 1974.

Today, Bang and Olufsen launched Beosound Essence, a wheel-shaped music sound system. In the complete article, watch the presentation delivered today at CES by CEO Tue Mantoni .
