GOOGLE NEXUS 5 !! Launched!!♥♥ Review-Specifications-Features-Price-Availability-Comparison-Comments.

Shortly after Sprint launched the Nexus 5 in the United States, multiple Canadian carriers started to sell the smartphone as well.

MobileSyrup reports that Nexus 5 is now available for purchase at Bell, Rogers, TELUS, Virgin Mobile, Koodo Mobile, Fido and Videotron. Customers can grab the smartphone from any of these carriers for no less than $500 (€355) outright.
However, Bell, Rogers, TELUS and Virgin Mobile also offer the Nexus 5 for only $100 (€70) on two-year agreements. Fido is also selling the Nexus 5 for $200 (€140) on two-year plans, while Videotron is only asking $50 (€35) if you're willing to commit to a new 2-year contract.

SaskTel and WIND Mobile are expected to add the Nexus 5 to their portfolios of Android smartphones within the next couple of days. Stay tuned for more updates on this one.

Android 4.3 Update Available for Samsung Galaxy S4-Note 2-S3-Note 3

We reported a few days ago US Cellular and Samsung plan to start rolling out the long-awaited Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S4 on November 8.

The information was mentioned in an internal memo leaked via AndroidPolice and it seems that it was pretty accurate. The official changelog of the update went live recently on Samsung's website and AndroidPolice reports lots of US Cellular Galaxy S4 owner have already started to receive the upgrade.

Keep in mind that update R970VXUAMJA, also known as Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, is pretty big so we'd recommend Samsung Galaxy S4 owner to download the update via Wi-Fi network or Samsung Kies desktop software.

As previously promised, Samsung added Galaxy Gear smartwatch support to US Cellular Galaxy S4 smartphone via this Jelly Bean update.

In addition, it also makes the device KNOX-ready. The bad news is all the carrier-related bloatware will be kept preloaded on the phone even after the upgrade is applied.

The following apps and services received an update via Android 4.3 Jelly Bean: City ID 1.25.11, Mobile TV 5.1.3.65-265549, MobiTiles 5.30.0.20, Slacker Radio 4.0.1034, TRD 2.0.32b, WiFi Now 4.5.90, YND 3.2.3.7230059, Mobile Security 6.6.16.32 and Amazon Shopping 2.6.0.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, so it might take a while until it reaches all Samsung Galaxy S4 devices at US Cellular.

We recommend users to manually check for the update if they haven't been automatically notified yet, by going to Settings / More / About device / Software update / Update.

In other news, Samsung has yet to roll out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S4 at T-Mobile and AT&T, but we're confident both carriers will offer the upgrade by the end of this month. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.

Blackberry Z30..!! Overtaken Z10..? Features-specs-reviews-price-bookings-tools-availability.

BlackBerry Z30

The last BlackBerry smartphone to be released in 2013, the Z30, is also the largest handset launched by the Canadian company in its entire history.

The sequel to the Z10, BlackBerry Z30 offers users a large 5.0-inch display along with some more than decent specs. The bad news is that the phone's design is not really on par with what it has to offer in terms of hardware.
Aside from a few features, both BlackBerry Z10 and Z30 are similar when it comes to specs. The most important aspect about the Z30 is the fact that it ships with BlackBerry 10.2 operating system out of the box.

All other BlackBerry 10 devices released on the market until now are running a previous version of the platform. The good news is that BlackBerry promised the OS 10.2 upgrade would be available for Z10, Q5, and Q10 beginning mid-October.

Until then, BlackBerry 10.2 is one of the many reasons customers will purchase the Z30. Another one would be the large 5-inch display, though BlackBerry fans who already own the Z10 may want to skips this one.

Given the fact that we've already reviewed the BlackBerry Q5 and BlackBerry Q10 smartphones, we will focus on the features that make the Z30 different in comparison to the other two.For those unfamiliar, BlackBerry Z30 was officially introduced back in September and hit shelves in a few countries in October. Customers can purchase the smartphone in black color version for no less than $675 (€500) outright.
Design

At first glance, BlackBerry Z30 looks big and slightly stylish. Unfortunately, it took me a few hours to realize the smartphone is pretty bulky and hard to operate with one hand.

BlackBerry Z30 measures 140.7 x 72 x 9.4 mm and weighs no less than 170g (battery included). That's at least 30g heavier than the Z10, which sports a 4.2-inch display.

The only way I can justify Z30's heavy weight is the fact that is powered by a high-capacity, 2880 mAh Li-Ion battery, but other than that I don't see a reason for BlackBerry to make it so bulky and uncomfortable.
The entire front side of the Z30 is taken by the larger 5-inch display. The bezel at the bottom is huge and it reminds me of the bezel of high-end Windows Phone handsets, such as Nokia Lumia 920.

The bottom side is made of a silvery plastic stripe, while the rest of the front part is covered by a protective glass. Right above the display is the 2-megapixel secondary camera, as well as a notification LED and the standard sensors.

The left side of the device features the microUSB and HDMI ports, while the right side has a Pause/Mute button between the volume up and down keys. The bottom side is buttonless, while the top of the phone features the 3.5mm audio port and the power on/off button.

Just like the Q10, the back cover of BlackBerry Z30 is made of glass weave finish and seems to be the only piece that makes the phone look a bit more stylish. It is also worth mentioning that the Z30's back cover can be pulled, but you can't remove the battery.

As soon as the back hood is removed, users will be able to notice the microSIM and microSD card slots on the right side of the phone. There's also an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features autofocus and LED flash.
Display and Camera

BlackBerry Z30 sports a huge 5.0-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, the biggest screen ever packed onto a BlackBerry smartphone.

Although it only offers 294ppi (pixel) density in comparison with Z10's display that supports 355ppi (pixel density), quality-wise, the former is much better.

It can be easily read under strong sunlight and features a very good color contrast. The Z30's display supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution and consumes less energy than any other BlackBerry 10's display.

BlackBerry Q5/Q10 owners thinking to upgrade to the Z30 will be happy to know that browsing on a 5-inch touchscreen display is a real pleasure. The colors are bright, vivid, and better looking than on any previous BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
The 8-megapixel camera on the back features autofocus, LED flash, and full HD (1080p@30fps) video recording. The UI is straightforward and users won’t have any issues finding the most important settings and options within the camera.

You can choose one of the four modes available: Normal, Stabilization, Burst, and HDR. Several Scenes are available for users, including Action, Whiteboard, Night, Beach, or Snow, as well as Auto. You can also choose the picture ratio before capturing it: 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9. This is the only option that allows you to change the resolution of the camera.

Although the phone does not have a dedicated button for camera, BlackBerry added a shortcut on the phone’s lock screen, right at the bottom. If you tap and hold this icon you will be taken directly to the camera UI without having to browse through menus.

Quality-wise, BlackBerry Z30 takes decent pictures when light conditions are optimal, but fails when it comes to night pictures. The 2-megapixel front-facing camera is perfect for BBM video, but it can also capture 720p@30 videos.
Menu and Software

The first smartphone to ship with BlackBerry 10.2 operating system out of the box, the Z30 offers slightly more features than any other previous model.

Those who want more insight on BlackBerry 10 and its features can head over to our news section and read our BlackBerry Q5 review and/or BlackBerry Q10 review.

I’m going to highlight some of the features that are only included in BlackBerry 10.2, so those who already own any smartphones previous to Z30 know what to expect later this month when the latest version of the operating system is said to arrive.
First of all, there’s a new Dark Theme that allows users to keep their phones on a darker theme in order to preserve battery. Currently, this feature is missing from the Z10, Q5, and Q10. And of course you get to use Flipboard.

Next in line is Priority Hub, a new option that allows users to filter messages by importance. Simply choose which messages to be prioritized and, upon opening BlackBerry Hub, choose to show only priority messages, as they will be highlighted in red. The Priority Hub has its own Settings menu where you can go as deep as possible to make sure you prioritize the right messages.
Another brand new feature that will probably be most welcomed by those who are still stuck on BlackBerry 10.1 is called “lock screen notifications at a glance.”

Basically, every time you receive a notification, you will be able to see a short preview if you tap on it. More importantly, these notifications appear on the phone’s lock screen, so there’s no need to open up the BlackBerry Hub.

There’s also a new option in the App Manager where you can set a certain application installed on the smartphone to open various types of files. This is very useful when you have more than one app that can handle same file formats.
With Smarter Sharing, users will be able to share the last picture taken and still be able to take pics with the camera. Lots of other sharing options have been added that will allow users to quickly share captured moments on various social networks.

The integrated browser has been further improved with a Reader option that allows users to load a page with small pictures and lots of text.

Last but not least, you can now set more than one alarm, something that’s not yet possible on previous BlackBerry 10 smartphones without 10.2 OS.
Communication

Hardware-wise, BlackBerry Z30 is a top-notch smartphone. It comes packed with most connectivity options usually embedded into a high-end device, including HSDPA, HSUPA, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC (Near Field Communication), microUSB with USB on-the-go, and HDMI port.

BlackBerry’s main innovation in the 10 OS, the Hub, should be the main selling point. It’s the best messaging hub available on the market and it’s the easiest to use, even though it might seem complicated at first.
Processor and Memory

BlackBerry Z30 is equipped with a 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960T Pro Snapdragon processor and an Adreno 320 graphics processor. That’s slightly better than the previous BlackBerry 10 models.
Furthermore, the smartphone packs 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up 64GB via microSD memory card. Keep in mind that BlackBerry decided to put the microSD card slot on the left side of the phone, but you will still need to pull out the battery cover. That’s a pretty weird design choice from the Canadian company. Overall, the Z30 is quite snappy and I had no lag or freezing issues.
Multimedia

The Z30 doesn’t improve on the previous models when it comes to music and videos, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The Q5 and Q10 smartphones offered a surprisingly good audio output with the right headphones. The bad news is the integrated music player lacks any advanced features, such as equalizers.

Well, BlackBerry Z30 is no better than the Q5 and Q10, but it offers the same quality. The integrated video player supports multiple file formats, including H.264, XviD, and DivX, but subtitles are a no-go.
Battery

BlackBerry Z30 is powered by a high-capacity 2880 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up to 384 hours of standby time or up to 18 hours of talk time.

The high-capacity battery is the main reason the Z30 is so heavy, but the fact that it offers a lot more autonomy than any other BlackBerry 10 device available on the market doesn’t make it a downside.

We’ve managed to get about two days of medium use. This may seem a bit low at first glance but, taking into consideration the fact that Z30 packs a huge 5-inch display, there’s nothing wrong with our number. Those who are heavily relying on their BlackBerry Z30 smartphones will be able to squeeze a full day of use without too much trouble.
Impressions

Although some of the premium materials used for the Z30 look very nice and stylish, I couldn’t help not noticing some weird design-related decisions and the heavy weight of the phone. Since I used both Z10 and Z30 I can say the latter is a major improvement, but design-wise it is a total mess.

BlackBerry Z30 gives me the feeling of a rushed product featuring some very good points, but also suffering from stupid downsides that could have been removed had the Canadian company’s engineers been more focused on their work.

The good news is that BlackBerry Z30 is a worthy spiritual successor of the Z10 and those who need a bigger (much bigger) device will have no trouble in finding the Z30 the perfect mobile companion.


The Good

Aside from the fact that it comes with BlackBerry 10.2 platform out of the box, BlackBerry Z30 offers a few improvements over its predecessor (Z10).

There are only a handful of features that BlackBerry Z30 lacks, which makes it an all-rounder. LTE support, the amazingly-looking 5-inch display, 8-megapixel enhanced camera, and powerful processor inside are among the strong points of the phone.


The Bad

The bulky form factor is the only major downside of the BlackBerry Z30. Although the BlackBerry 10 app ecosystem is constantly expanding, the quality of some of the most important apps is far behind in comparison with other major platforms like Android and iOS.

I also think BlackBerry Z30 has been overpriced, especially if we take into consideration the financial status of the Canadian handset maker. The Z30 is definitely not the device that could turn BlackBerry right on track, but it could be a very popular handset if priced aggressively.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with some Initial Problems

Apparently, the device has been discovered to show such behavior both when charging and when not plugged in, and no specific info on the underlying cause has been provided. 

According to one XDA-Developers Forum member, his Galaxy Note 3 unit rebooted while installing apps from Google Play, and entered the aforementioned reboot cycle.

The problem seemed to be solved after a hard reset, but it reappeared when the phone was rebooted again. The issue is said to be persistent, with the phone getting stuck in a loop every time it is rebooted. 

Another user claims that a similar issue appeared with their unit, but only when it was plugged in. All returned to normal after unplugging it. 

However, these are not the only cases of such behavior from Galaxy Note 3. Other users suggest that the issue might be related to the applications installed on the device.
While there’s no confirmation that this is indeed the case, chances are that this reboot loop problem is related to the voice call distortions that Galaxy Note 3 users in the US have been reporting lately.
Turning the device to Flight mode is also said to help in most cases, and some suggest that this means that the issue might be related to Galaxy Note 3’s antenna.
Apparently, one of them has seen the phone entering the reboot loop when the microSD memory card was in, but managed to have it working just fine after removing the card.
Some owners of Galaxy Note 3 devices out there are facing a very annoying issue with their smartphones, as it occasionally gets stuck in a reboot loop.

Kinect Adventures!!♥ Love it!! Must Try!

Gameplay

Kinect Adventures! uses full body motion to allow the player to engage in a variety of minigames, all of which feature jump-in, jump-out multiplayer play. Each minigame lasts about three minutes. While most of the minigames are co-operative in two player mode, Reflex Ridge is a competitive game. The game also supports Xbox Livemultiplayer. At many points during the game, Kinect's RGB camera takes photos, which are shown to the player(s) and saved to a storage device. These can then be viewed within the game, with the option of uploading these to a private repository onKinectshare.com and downloaded to a computer or uploaded to social networking sites.

The object of all the minigames is to get the highest number of adventure pins, which are collected in different ways. Adventure pins earn the player(s) medals which, in story mode, affect progression. Medals can be bronze, silver, gold and platinum, in order from least to most pins needed to acquire each.

As a pack-in game, Kinect Adventures! also contains features which aid users in proper set-up and use of the Kinect sensor.

Game types

• 20,000 Leaks

In 20,000 Leaks, the player's avatar is in a glass cube underwater. The player positions his or her limbs and head to plug cracks as crabs, fish, and bosses such as sharks and swordfish cause cracks and holes in the cube. As difficulty increases, up to five leaks must be plugged at a time to earn Adventure pins. Each game consists of three waves, which end when time expires or when all leaks are plugged. Extra time left over at the end of each wave is added to the Adventure pin total.

• River Rush

In River Rush, one or two players stand in a raft and work together to pick up the adventure pins scattered throughout the winding rapids. The raft is controlled by stepping left or right to steer, and by jumping to jump the raft. There are many secret places that you can get to by taking ramps. There are considerably more adventure points there than on the river.^[2] Crashing into barrels, wood, markers, or rapid markers, causes the player to lose points.

• Rally Ball

Rally Ball is a Breakout clone, but also similar to handball. The player uses his or her limbs and head to hit balls at blocks and targets which are at the end of a virtual hallway. When certain targets are hit, the ball splits into multiple balls which can be handled simultaneously. Each game consists of three rounds, each with a different set of blocks and targets. Rounds end when time expires or when all blocks and targets are destroyed. Extra time left over at the end of each round is added to the Adventure pin total.

• Reflex Ridge

Reflex Ridge is a track-and-field inspired game, but played on a moving platform in an environment similar to a wooden roller coasteror minecart. One or two players (in split screen) race on a platform, jump over hurdles, lean away from obstacles, and limbo to avoid hitting their heads on low beams. Jumping in place makes the platform move faster along its rail. Adventure pins are earned by avoiding obstacles or touching ones scattered throughout the course. The game is timed, with extra time left over at the end of the course added to the Adventure pin total.

• Space Pop

In Space Pop, transparent balls (soap bubbles) shuttle between holes on the walls, floors and ceilings of a virtual zero-gravity room. The player attempts to pop the bubbles by touching them to earn Adventure pins. Space Pop utilizes depth, requiring the player to move toward and away from the sensor. To move upwards, the player can flap his or her arms, and to stay at current height, hold arms out to the sides.

Pre-Order Bonus


Pre-order Kinect bundles included a card with codes redeemable for two exclusive levels of Rallyball and one exclusive level of Reflex Ridge, as well as a helicopter prop for use with an Xbox Live Avatar.

Reception

Kinect Adventures! has received mixed reviews from various game reviewers. Video game talk show Good Game's two presenters gave the game a 6.5 and 6 out of 10 saying that it's a good demonstration of what the Kinect is capable of but a pity that there aren't more mini-games however stating that only 2 of the 5 mini-games were worth playing.

Being a pack-in game for Kinect, which has sold 18 million units, Kinect Adventures has sold 18 million copies worldwide, making it the bestselling game for the Xbox 360. However strong sales of Kinect Adventures can be attributed to this fact, as such it is worth noting that Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold the most units independent of being bundled with the sale of an Xbox 360 console.

Sequels


Kinect Disneyland Adventures is a Disneyland based game released on the Microsoft Xbox 360 and its Kinect peripheral. It is set in a virtual recreation of the Disneyland Park, featuring mini-games inspired by various attractions.

• The downfall of civilization redefines moral boundaries. No longer do labels like thief and murderer mark you as a criminal; everyone must steal, must kill, must do whatever it takes to survive. Humans roam in packs like feral dogs, claiming their territory and killing anyone who encroaches on their turf. Paper-thin alliances link individuals together for mere flashes, their connections severed once their mutual needs are met. Life is bleak, brutal, and exhausting. Tomorrow doesn't exist when the stench of death lingers like a fog and hope was extinguished years ago. There is only today; there is only right now. Morals? Morals won't put food in your mouth or a roof over your head. Morals are for the weak. And you're not weak.
  
  
  
  One night the heart of society beat loud and strong; the next it was silent. The outbreak happened so quickly that there was no quarantine plan in effect. Infected monsters crashed through their neighbors' windows, smashed the doors to splinters. Husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, dead before they could react, or worse. Maybe they became one of the infected. The virus spread through major cities and suburbs, and the military, with all of its training and weapons, was powerless to stop the epidemic. Joel is just one man amid a sea of people whose lives have been destroyed by the infection, but who still cling to life. Though he never asked for such power, he now holds the key to saving the world.
  Joel is introduced the night society falls. He stays out late and works questionable jobs, all while his daughter waits patiently for his return home. He's distant, physically and emotionally, which makes it difficult to empathize with him. His actions are often repulsive, as inhuman as the zombies he must fight. The door to his heart is sealed shut. The Last of Us shines a light on the nastiness that only surfaces in humans who have nothing to lose. Rather than overcoming these limitations, Joel is crushed by them. He's unlikeable to his very core, a man who spits out angry words and appears to harbor even more sinister thoughts that remain unsaid. He kills because everyone must kill. But he kills with such fury that it disgusts even those who are used to this violence.
  
  
  Joel, already accustomed to a life of brutality and focusing on his own needs, has partnered with a woman of a similar disposition. Tess is a badger let loose from a cage. To cross her path is to sign your own death warrant. She, like so many of the characters in The Last of Us, has a one-note personality that allows little room for a more nuanced interpretation. Her independence and ruthlessness are thrust to the forefront; empathy and humanity are nowhere to be found. Such flimsy characterizations erect an emotional barrier for the first few hours of this adventure. The postapocalyptic world is not interesting enough on its own to draw you in. Without any sympathetic characters to latch on to, you are left with little attachment to this pack of selfish animals.
  
  
  
  That changes once Ellie joins your party. Unlike Tess and Joel, Ellie is easy to relate to. In this world of constant danger, she is scared. Scared to be ambushed by a zombie without a guide to protect her. Scared to meet a person who would rather kill her than talk to her. And her fear is not just for her own life. All of her loved ones have died or departed, so she's scared of losing someone else. Yet unlike so many others in this world, Ellie is not ruled by her fear. She talks like a girl in search of normalcy, whistling or humming during quiet moments, fantasizing about swimming lessons, and laughing about the problems that used to haunt girls before the outbreak. Boys? School? Problems that seem pitiful when your stomach has been growling for days and you have watched a zombie kill your best friend, yet Ellie remembers them. In her remembrance of the past, she exhibits a strength of will that most adults have lost. Ellie is both strong and vulnerable, smart and naive, and her humanity provides the impetus to push you through to the bitter end.
  
  
  
  Ellie's maturity and resiliency make her an invaluable companion, but her worth lies much deeper than her endearing personality. She could be the savior humanity has been waiting for, and Joel has the privilege of escorting her away from the hostile city she now resides in to a faraway settlement desperate for her arrival. You travel through infested forests, dilapidated houses, and unnerving sewers, with Joel providing the brawn and Ellie the heart to brave the many dangers that stand before them. Confrontation is a last resort. Infected swarm with terrifying ferocity, clawing and snarling as they seek their next meal. The uninfected are just as deadly. With diplomacy not an option, they pursue and flank, firing high-powered rifles or swinging deadly axes, undeterred that they are trying to slaughter a middle-aged man and a young girl. Death is fast and bloody, so you slink through the shadows, staying out of sight to live another day.
  
  
  However, combat in such a violent land is inevitable. The Last of Us turns the crumbling ruins of a formerly healthy world into the landmarks of unceasing war. Filter the world through the lens of dystopia, and ordinary objects take on a new meaning. Overturned tables and file cabinets provide a modicum of cover; broken windows allow for a quick escape. The zombies' movements are a confluence of contrasting images. Their staggered gait lulls you into believing they are slow, weak. But once they smell fresh meat, their movement is blindingly fast and exact. Their heads snap to attention with unsettling, insectile speed, and the unholy guttural noises that issue from their throats sound like the song of humanity's death.
  
  
  So you kill them, bashing them with a two-by-four with all your strength and pummeling them into a lifeless mess on the ground. When grabbed from behind, you shove a shiv into your attacker's neck, the force of your blow causing the makeshift weapon to snap in half. A close-range shotgun blast tears zombies to shreds, but there's no time for celebration. They keep coming, eager to quell the threat that stupidly revealed itself. Such confrontations are nerve-rattling, and yet there's a hollowness to these encounters. No one wants to die--even a virtual death is unwelcome--but The Last of Us refuses to punish failure in a manner befitting the harshness of its world. Become overwhelmed and you quickly perish, but with checkpoints only a few seconds apart, the danger of expiring never dissuades you from recklessness.

Apple iWatch..♥ reviews-specifications-features-price-booking-etc.

The Apple iWatch is rumoured to be in some form of production right now – we round up the news and speculation on its specs, features and potential release date.

Apple is rumoured to be developing an iWatch, which would most likely synch up with your iPhone 5 or iPad to give you updates on you’re wrist, allow you to control other devices and pull data from the cloud.

The most recent development suggests that Apple is now hiring large numbers of designers and technical experts to help the company reach its goals in creating a wrist-based Apple device, the rumour comes from the Financial Times who also report that there are concerns over whether Apple has the know-how to create such a complex device to their own extreme standards.

Supposedly a team of ‘about 100 product designers’ are working on the iWatch – including managers, marketers and software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iPhone and iPad. That’s according to two people ‘familiar with the company’s plans’, which puts them in a remarkably small category.

According to the two in the know, the project is ‘beyond experimentation phase in its development.’

Apple iWatch will be called....iWatch

In case you were wondering, which we're sure you weren't Apple will almost certainly be calling its Smartwatch the Apple iWatch. This comes after confirmation came in that the tech giant had filed iWatch trademarks in Japan and Russia.

What you may not have been expecting however is the news that Apple may not be able to call its product the iWatch in the UK, instead having to come up with a different name after it was revealed that iWatch has already been trademarked in the UK, US and in Europe.

Apple iWatch price

Sadly there hasn't been much talk about what Apple's iWatch will cost, but thanks to other companies jumping on the bandwagon we can get a rough idea of what the cost will be.

The Sony SmartWatch 2 is set to land in September this year with a price tag of around £150, that means that if Apple applies its usual premium price tag you could be looking at between £180-£220 for your very own iWatch.

With rumours circling that Nike could be launching a new Fuelband as well all eyes will be on the company that can offer the best gadget for the cheapest price.

Apple iWatch features

A further two informers claiming to be au fait with Apple’s various super-plans say it is experimenting with a ‘wristwatch-like device made of curved glass’,operating on iOS. The NYT notes Corning has developed bendable glass last year called Willow Glass which could be used to wrap around something wrist, and cites Forrester’s claim that “Apple’s certainly made a lot of hiring in that area”.

There are also claims Apple is in discussions with Chinese manufacturer Foxconn, which makes a large number of iPhone and iPad parts, about producing an iWatch. Foxconn are apparently working to make more power-efficient displays and stripping down chips, aimed at multiple Foxconn customers.
