It was right at the start of this week when we brought you word that North Korea’s smartphone, known as the Arirang AS1201, happens to look eerily similar to China’s very own Uniscope U1201, especially when you place the two of them side by side as depicted in the image above. Well, here we are with word that the Arirang AS1201 could actually have been made in China instead of rolling off the production lines of North Korea itself, but don’t let the North Korean populace learn of this since it might be considered to be a loss of face to their recently re-elected Supreme Leader of North Korea.

I have always wondered why car manufacturers didn’t go the extra mile and make it so keyless entry systems are actually keyless and fobless. Sure, it’s more convenient to press a button on the door or grope yourself looking for a remote than to have to put a key in the door. That said, it would be much more convenient if the car would just unlock itself when you walk up and lock itself when you leave.
It can’t cost much more for automakers to implement that sort of tech. Until that tech becomes common on cars sold around the world. Viper has a system that will bring that functionality to the aftermarket. The system is called the Viper Smartkey and it uses your iPhone to lock and unlock your doors.
The cool part is that you don’t have to take the smartphone out of your pocket or purse to make it work. All you need to do is get out of the car and walk away, the doors will lock, and the Viper alarm will arm. When you walk back up to the car, the doors unlock and the alarm turns off. Smartkey does require a Viper alarm or remote start system to function. If you have one of those systems, you can get Smartkey for $149.99(USD) right now.

When it comes to rolling out smartphones for the masses, the folks over at Samsung are certainly one of the more productive companies out there, as they seem to have a little bit of something for everyone. In fact, their latest device to be revealed would be the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style, and this is an unheralded handset simply because it does not occupy the higher echelons of smartphones when it comes to the hardware specifications. I suppose if you are in the market for an entry level smartphone that gets the job done, then the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style would be able to fit the bill nicely.
After all, what kind of hardware specifications are we looking at with the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style? First of all, it will run on Android 4.4 KitKat, which is a good thing since you need not wait for a software update to remain ahead of the competition when it comes to the latest features that Android offers. At the back lies a 5MP shooter, while there is a VGA camera in front for selfies. Underneath the hood, you will be able to find a dual-core 1.2GHz processor that is accompanied by 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory that thankfully, can be expanded by another 64GB thanks to a microSD memory card slot, a 4″ WVGA TFT display, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity, NFC support to keep up with the times, and a 1,500mAh battery.
There will also be Samsung’s intuitive touch-user interface that is known as TouchWiz Essence, while the One Camera Preview feature would pave the way for easy access for both video recording and picture taking in full High Definition glory. You will also be able to find ChatON pre-loaded on the handset so that you can share images, icons and chat with friends right from the get go. No idea on pricing, but it ought to be in the budget realm, where you can choose from Cream White and Dark Gray colors from this month onward.
