Uzair Ghani·August 10, 2014

Wi-Fi networks are literally everywhere. From our homes, to our offices, and heck even in our laundry outlets, we have Wi-Fi networks littered across like a pack of bees going crazy in a flower field. But, while having Wi-Fi around us is all good, but what great does it do when there’s someone hogging all the network’s bandwidth? Don’t you wish you could find that very same guy on the network using a simple app, so you can find a better network for yourself?

Samsung Gear Solo ‘Watch-phone’ To Be Announced Alongside Note 4 At IFA

Ben Reid·August 10, 2014

As well as taking the wraps off the Galaxy Note 3 ahead of last year's IFA exhibition in Berlin, Samsung also introduced its inaugural smartwatch effort in the form of the Galaxy Gear.

Given the Korean outfit's insatiable need to continually push new products, the rumor that another smartwatch may be rolled out alongside the Galaxy Note 4 at this year's IFA is none too surprising, and with the report on the matter also suggesting that it will include its very own SIM slot, it's perhaps the most interesting smartwatch that Samsung has brought to us so far.

Two giants of the messaging world have done just that over the last couple of days, with both Facebook and WhatsApp issuing updates to their Android apps that give Android Wear, err, wearers a little taste of the future.
