While smartwatches are all the rage right now with Apple, Samsung and Motorola in particular all duking it out for the limited space on our wrists, Microsoft is instead sticking with the fitness tracker approach. Having already had limited success with the Microsoft Band, the software giant is now set to release an updated model, with its media event on October 6th looking like a likely date for the Band 2's outing.

Sometimes it is just abundantly clear that someone inside Samsung's marketing division just cannot help themselves but launch a shot across Apple's bow.

When it comes to universal remote controls, Logitech tends to be the first name on everyone's lips, especially when you're looking for something that does a little bit more than turn the volume up and down.

But this particular model isn't so cheap, and with a name like 'Logitech Harmony Elite', that comes as no real surprise. Sounds expensive, doesn't it?
It is entirely unreasonable to demand that companies like Apple keep innovating and reinventing the wheel on an annual basis when it comes to software like iOS and OS X. That's why iOS 9 was a welcome reprieve from what had felt like a number of years of wholesale changes and attempting to continually push the boundaries with iOS.
