There are many ways to evaluate a Wi-Fi network. You can either go for the hands-on visual approach by looking at the Wi-Fi signal bars, or just run a regular speed test and see the general performance of a network. But a regular speed test doesn’t tell the complete story as it's usually done on server side to check Internet speed, not local wireless network's speed. This is where a handy app for iPhone and Android comes in.
The Moto 360 smartwatch from Motorola is likely to ship next month, with the company having just sent out emails requesting shipping information from I/O attendees. As ever with Google's major developers' gathering, there was plenty of free stuff on hand for those who turned up, and with most having opted for the endearing aesthetics of Motorola's first ever smartwatch in the pick-and-mix of gadgets offered, we may now have a decent idea as to when it will roll out to consumers.
Amid the abundance of iPhone 6-related coverage, we've been unable to dispel the on-off rumor that the device's display will be laden in the tougher, albeit more expensive sapphire glass material. Not only would it be more robust, but also clearer, and with better scratch resistance than the current Gorilla Glass formula, would render the device much more rugged overall.
Motorola has sent out invitations to a special press event to be held on September 4th, and along with the impressive-looking Moto 360 smartwatch, the formerly Google-owned company will take the wraps off two new smartphones and some kind of head-mounted gadget. It's quite an exciting prospect, particularly given that Samsung is likely to take the wraps off the Note 4 and, in all likelihood, another addition to its 'Gear' smartwatch line-up the day before on September 3rd. Unlike Samsung's event, which will head off IFA in Berlin, Germany, Motorola's big announcements will take place in Chicago, United States, and as well as more info regarding the beautiful Moto 360, the successor to the heavily-lauded Moto X should also be on the agenda.
The iPhone 6 must go down as one of the most-leaked products in tech history, and since the manufacturing process commenced a short while ago, we've been able to get right into the guts of Apple's next big thing. Today, we get a look at what is claimed to be the device's logic board, and although the much-hyped A8 processor is obscured from view, the fact that it's almost fully assembled presents us with our first proper look at what will be one of smartphone's most crucial components.
Having finally showcased the Galaxy Alpha smartphone earlier on this week, the next major release from Samsung will be the Galaxy Note 4. Set to be unveiled at the confirmed Unpacked event in Berlin on September 3rd, the phablet will apparently pack a sharper, quad-HD display among a number of other improvements and perks. In order to ramp up hype in China for the next-gen handset, the Korean company has released a teaser trailer, with reports also suggesting that posters relating to the forthcoming device have also begun cropping up around mainland China.
Apple's purchase of Beats Electronics a couple of months ago for $3 billion took everybody by surprise, especially given that the Cupertino company tends to avoid such extravagant buyouts of well-known companies. With the deal having just been given the rubber stamp of approval, the Beats product line-up already has its own little segment over on Apple's official site, but aside from a couple of new pairs of headphones, we've yet to really see the fruits of this fledgling collaboration. This could all change once Apple's current flurry of imminent product releases is done and dusted, though, and one designer has imagined what a pair of Apple-Beats headphones, or 'iBeats', might look like.
Samsung's long tradition of using Apple's own advertising campaigns against it shows no sign of abating with the recently introduced 'Wall Hugger' line of TV ads, but now the Korean firm has gone a step further by moving its campaign to a new battleground - the airport power outlet.
We're merely weeks away now from the much anticipated iPhone 6 (or iPhone Air, depending on what Apple ends up calling it) launch event to be held in September, if rumors are to be believed. With the official unveiling this close, it's certain that the devices have gone through all the stages of mass production and probably nearing the completion line any time soon. What this implies for the rest of the world is that a floodgate of leaks and rumors would have opened, and indeed, we saw our fair share of that over the course of last few weeks. Today, a fresh set of leaked photos has surfaced that shows close up views of the iPhone 6 front panel, the mute toggle and the power button, the former of which indicates a tapered edge design.
Further to our tutorial earlier this week, which outlined the steps on how you could continue sending Facebook messages on mobile without having to download the specific app created by the social company for this very purpose, a few of you got back to us via the comments and tips with another method for those on iOS and Android. Below, once again, you can learn how to send Facebook messages using nothing but the official app, and unlike the previous solution, no jailbreak is required on iOS.
