We've mulled other what seems like thousands of concepts pertaining to the so-called Apple iWatch, and even though designers and fans of the idea have been tripping over themselves to put a face to the name, we're still none the wiser as to what the fruit company has in its plans. Today, designer Gábor Balogh has come through with a rather interesting take on the iWatch, which sticks with the recognized form factor of a normal wristwatch while cramming in all of the digital niceties that appease us tech fans. Check it out after the break!
Love or loathe Google Glass, the search giant's intriguing project continues to get the lion's share of the media's coverage, but whilst the tech world remains fascinated by this new technology, many start-ups have sought to compete against the might of Google with their very own attempts at building a face computer. KAIST, which stands for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has just taken the wraps off its K-Glass prototype, which it claims is 30 times faster than Google Glass, as well as 3x to 12x more efficient.
Samsung's dogmatic approach to developing new products has seen it emerge as a superpower in the mobile game, but while the market is currently awash with devices bearing the Korean outfit's famed logo, we've also seen, particularly over the past couple of years, a marked improvement in the range and caliber of its software roster. The abundance of great 'S' apps accompanying each new Galaxy release always felt as though it was leading up to something more substantial, and today's announcement of "Milk Music," Samsung's very own streaming radio service, certainly makes a big statement.
The Apple iPhone regularly tops the charts when it comes to overall customer satisfaction, and the desirability factor of the Cupertino's prized asset is showing no signs of wearing down. A new piece of research by a mobile insurance firm has discovered that not only are iPhones seemingly more robust in that they're less likely do be damaged than most competitors, but notably, are more likely to be stolen, with uncanny individuals clearly having a keener eye for the iPhone over some of the market's other high-end handsets.
Although we're still unsure as to just when exactly the Samsung Galaxy S5 will hit the market, new details are being uncovered by the day. Only a short while ago, we got to see the capabilities of the handset's new-and-improved 16-megapixel rear-facing shooter, which followed an earlier, albeit unofficial demo of the very impressive 4K video capturing. Today, we can, for the first time, take a look some of the Galaxy S5's official accessories, with images having emerged of cases and covers that Samsung allegedly will retail alongside its forthcoming flagship.
Microsoft looks set to showcase the first major update to Windows 8.1 at the BUILD developers conference on the first week of April, but with some weeks to go until the improved release is officially unveiled, an internal leak of Windows 8.1 Update 1 is already upon us. Having trickled out into the wild just a short while ago, some users managed to get the build up and running on their machines by tweaking the registry or downloading patches, but although the registry hack doesn't seem to be working anymore, you can still check out this internal release by grabbing the necessary patches.
Sony's launch of the PlayStation 4, and the subsequent interest from gamers around the world, has probably exceeded the company’s own expectations. Anyone looking to get in on the PS4 action will likely find themselves in a position of having to wait for stock to become available in the coming weeks, which in itself is testament to how successful the launch has been for Sony. With that said, it seems that all isn't rosy for those who already have the console after finding out that certain games, Killzone Shadow Fall being one, don't quite live up to the full HD 1080p promises that were made by Sony as part of their early marketing campaign.
Although certain markets, namely Europe, have benefited from a free title with every new Xbox One purchase, those in the United States haven't been so fortunate. But as of next week, certain Stateside retail outlets will include a free digital copy of Forza Motorsport 5 for a limited time only.
With likes of Sony and Samsung having revealed their latest and greatest devices at MWC last week, it will soon be the turn of Taiwanese outfit HTC to showcase its eagerly-awaited successor to the critically-acclaimed 2013 release of the One. Thanks to numerous leaks, we already know most of the key details of the device, known technically as the 'HTC M8', including its stronger processor, larger display and two rear-facing cameras, but with the unveiling set for March 25th, we're going to be waiting a good few weeks beyond that for its release. If patience isn't your forte, perhaps you might be interested in yet another nifty bit of fakery from resident knockoffer Goophone, which has come through a respectable clone of the as-yet unannounced handset.

We seem, as people, to have developed something of an obsession with coffee. In many countries - particularly the United States and the UK - the likes of Starbucks and Caffé Nero swarm our town centers and shopping malls, and as a result, many of us cannot get through the day without a frappé coffee, mocha or espresso. A lot of the time, we're simply chasing that caffeine pick-me-up, and while it can work miracles in the mornings, when trying to get some sleep later on in the day, having too much of the stuff in our systems is never fun. With this in mind, Jawbone has come up with an interesting app that not only keeps track of how much caffeine we're getting, but also, rather accurately, speculates on when we'll be finally able to get some shut-eye.
