Sony has created a new wireless-wired headphones with control ring

New product combines two technologies, therefore you can't categorically assert that WS610 series pulls your ears down. Earplugs certainly the most advanced way to hear that they are not ideal.

Actually Walkman WS610 is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Well, it it not as compact as we would like, but the advantages such as superior Sony's sound quality at high volume for a long time (about 7 hours) are undeniable. Just 3 minute of quick charge is sufficient for 60 minutes playback.

Sony also replaced all the control buttons away from the ear position. Why do people need to put pressure on the eardrum, or being distracted by other devices during the morning run, "It's not safe", - thought Sony engineers. So they created a wireless remote control ring, which is easy to wear and easy to manage while holding a smartphone on the bottom of the pocket.

Besides the playing of your playlist from the 16GB built-in memory you keep the NFC and Bluetooth connection for wireless music playback from your smartphone too. The headset has run-time of about seven hours on a full charge and can be submerged to a depth of no more than seven feet (2 meters).

HTC Recamera should be another stunt video camera able to compete with GoPro cameras

A new competitor for the well-known GoPro cameras is coming on board with the periscope raised and ready for recording! Though this is all we’ve got for the moment, we are sure that this oddly looking camera might give a contest to GoPro, which are quite expensive.

All we can work with for the moment is a video from the official site and few leaked photos showing us the strange shape of the HTC Recamera. Watching the video we can note that the camera should be waterproof by seeing the people diving in the pool. And if we watch the video up to an end we can see that the camera can be used in the most extreme conditions or during the ordinary cycling, so it should be dust and damage resistant, just like the GoPro cameras.

What will be inside is still a mystery, but thanks to rumors, we might at least imagine that the sensor could be 16MP, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections will be available as well, and an app was considered for remote control via separate device whether it is HTC’s Android smartphone or, for example, Apple’s iPad tablet.

Who knows, maybe it will not be as useful, steady and immune to the environment, as GoPro Hero 4, but it will certainly show everything it is capable of. What will it be, should be told on October, 8th, as shown in video, when HTC raises their action recording periscope, and we’ll get back to you with more news or at least rumors once some of them revealed.

Nexus 9 shows its shape attracting all tablet lovers

It seems that the new rumors have pierced through the internet and a new tablet called Nexus 9 is slightly revealed to us. Who could actually be the real maker of this device you ask? Well, Google could give it to anyone, for example, to Asus or Motorola, but the choice is actually done in favor of HTC, the one which already failed with the Flyer – a 7-inch tablet at $500 cost in 2013.

A new Nexus – a name that was already used plenty of times – is created under the code name of  “Flounder”… and it actually coincides with a well-known to us Nexus X with a code name “Shamu” - the killer whale from the history of entertainment. So we guess Flounder and Shamu could be good friends.

So the display of Nexus 9 should be 9-inch IPS LCD at a 1920x1200 pixel resolution. Processor is meant to be NVIDIA Tegra K1 Denver (64-bit), just like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet. Free given storage is ought to be 32 GB with microSD card adjustable space. A rear camera with 8 megapixel will be accompanied with 1.6 megapixel front one.

A date that has been announced cannot be said strictly, therefore we can expect it in October in order not to tell you false dates at all. The price is expected to be around $400, which is quite fascinating for such a device. If any more news arrives on board, we will surely tell them to our visitors.

Oculus gets us deeper into virtual reality

Our common reality has been already persuaded to change by the first DK1 then DK2 and it seems that this process will not stop in the beginning of it. Oculus is preparing its new powerful VR headset, advantage of which comparing to the precursors is the ability to submerge all your senses in an overall immersion of a real virtual reality.

Built on the basis of Developer Kit 2, a new prototype Crescent Bay is a transitional stage on the way to the next generation of Rift. And this state of DK2 should prepare us to face the new generation of Rift Developer Kit 3, which will be revealed to us a bit later.

Unlike the progenitors, the Oculus DK 3 will have 360 degrees head tracking, an extended amount of positional tracking and integrated high quality headphones fastened on the frame, which makes the sound be as exciting as the visuals. RealSpace3D audio technology used comes as the combination of HRTF dimensional and complex reverb algorithms, which creates a feeling of actual presence right in your own head. Oculus also said that game engine Unity will be set in a Free and Pro versions.

It is expected that the headset will be quite light, and will not cause swelling of the neck during prolonged usage. The performance of the device will be upgraded as well to finally end up with the annoying slowdown of the graphics, which can cause slight suspension of the picture. Prototype Crescent Bay allows you to operate only in a range of about 3 feet for the moment, but hopefully it will be improved in a retail version.

Now Oculus is open to third-party development, which can become absolutely new path of development making VR platform the most stable in the future. Oculus Rift DK 3 will not be perfect, but it must be better than others. We do not know what improvements are waiting for us and when they come in force, but we hope that they will be worthy and timely.

The smartest camera Samsung NX1, which can compete with the more professional colleagues

A new camera flagship enters the market under the patronage of Samsung from within NX series, which is already known to the public. And now the new NX1 will be equipped with new technological wireless connectivity unlike from the previous model, which was using the cell-based one, never satisfying at practice.

In addition we can see an upgraded outer design giving an owner the same satisfaction, as using a professional camera. But don't let yourself confuse that this one is far from it, as the lens, which is likely to be used for NX1 is 16-50mm f2-2.8 and the new smart implementations in it.

In front was seen a 28.2 MP CMOS sensor with backside illumination created to capture more light, than the older versions could, imbedding a true image into the 4K picture. NX AF System III autofocus detects the quickly moving objects and doesn’t keep its focus on them allowing you to firmly take a shot at any crowded event.

Another Hi-Tech stuff, which could be really helpful in the dark, is an AF Assist Beam that shoots almost an invisible beam of light to lighten the focused subject in the range of 15 meters, so it is useless at far away distances. Samsung pledges a new DRIMe V Image Processor will allow the better reproduction of all your images taken and reducing the extraneous pixilation, which could spoil your best picture of the day.

As already told the device will allow connecting itself wirelessly, using NFC, WiFi, and Bluetooth. You can share your pictures using the NFC compatible devices, an AutoShare function to share it between your Android tablet and smartphone or save only on SD card. You can also use your smartphone to control the camera remotely by pairing the devices together.

The sales should start in October at a price estimated on $1500 level. We will get back with more news, when Samsung itself reveals them.

From one year to another, each reincarnation of iPhone was mightier with each new model, and the sixth rebirth is not an exception this time. It would be strange to see inside the new device all of the last year's assemblies, modules, or something else not making iPhones inimitable, as we expect them to see. But nevertheless, the absence of a great leader is palpable. It is unlikely for the leading smartphone to step into the new world with an enlarged clone being afraid of the anticipating crowd to be disappointed a bit.

And the new comer handset named iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch IPS Retina HD display offering 1920x1080 pixels at 401 ppi, 500 cd/m2 Max brightness and 1300:1 contrast ratio. There is an improved 8MP camera, which contains an optical image stabilization to explain the "Plus" token in the end of its name.

Other specifications such as Time-lapse video recording, Cinematic stabilization, Continuous autofocus, Exposure control, Burst mode, Panorama and a 3x zoom inherent for the both models. FaceTime Cameras are also identical. 1.2-megapixel sensor with ƒ/2.2 aperture can recordi video in 720p HD. The front-facing camera has a backside illumination sensor, Auto HDR, face detection, Exposure control and, of course, the same Burst mode.

Dyson 360 Eye is claimed to be the dust terminator

Technology was always developing because the customer wants somebody or something to do its work, therefore the progress cannot be stopped unless the customer does nothing at all! So this deal should also satisfy every common user, who doesn’t like to collect the dust on his own.

A new vacuum cleaner differs from his competitors by quality, meanwhile not being so expensive, as the previous version of Dyson from 2001. It actually didn’t start due to high weight of the machine and too sophisticated technique to run. It required three computers in apartment and would cost thousands of dollars, therefore the project was closed hoping for future reincarnation.

And the time has come for the people to see a really useful droid cleaning your room. It has 360 degree camera and infrared sensor to actually “feel” itself in the room and avoid collision with any big or small obstacle on the way of cleaning.

The battery cannot boast with long life endurance, but this is quite acceptable comparing with the cleaning quality it performs. Fully charged the vacuum machine can clean the space for 20 minutes and then it returns to the charging station to restore its power.

Dyson has invested $8 million to start this project, so there is no doubt it will be 20 times more useful than the other imitators cleaning the floor awkwardly. Having such a start the robot is designed to reach every surface a regular vacuum cleaner does. It can simply ride through every rough terrain, such as thresholds and other bumps met.

Another function available is connecting the device to your smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android in order to monitor the robot’s mapping during the cleaning procedure, letting you know its strategy and efficiency.

The dirt restrainer will show its muscles to the Japanese publicity next Spring, and the rest of the world will try to touch them later in 2015.

Samsung strikes Oculus Rift back

Actually it can be called a blow below the belt because it is not a classic virtual reality helmet in a common sense. This is a simple trick that can be considered as genius.

Practically it seems to be a classic VR but in fact it is a bandage with a phone that works exclusively together with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. Gear VR is just an assembly of a separate parts to be paired together. To use the handset as a basis is truly a genius decision, isn't it? Especially if the screen resolution of the device allows you to use it at its full potential.

Speaking about the screen of Galaxy Note 4, it provides a better resolution than Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 in its present version. Oculus certainly holds a number of benefits, such as elimination of motion blur and pesky nausea problems. Note 4 having a large number of pixels can not effectively do it. Maybe it was the key to a successful deal between Samsung with Oculus. But to having the phone separated  from headset is also worth something.

Gear VR also has a volume rocker, a small touchpad, and a back button. But Oculus Rift provides powerful graphics card for the same money amount. Therefore we can conclude that Samsung Gear VR will be great for videos and Oculus Rift for games. The price of helm only is $199, together with phablet which will cost less than $800 or $290 on-contract in U.S. it will cost $1000 lump sum.

Humanoid robot assistant Pepper will invade the Earth at the end of this year

Edison's lightbulb once replaced candles, and the phones have overwhelmed telegraph... Now it's robotics era time! Do you still think that the robots are imbeciles and too mediocre. Leave your prejudices, welcome to reality.

Of course, robots today seems to be quite a dupe, unable to make a simple choice or bear any kind of responsibility. But nevertheless, it's just a beginning, and who knows maybe they think the same way about us? One day we see the world standing with a human face and shaking our hand to greet us, but tomorrow we might reveal that underneath this person's skin there is a rigid embedded structure making all our world change at once.

Robots have invaded the world, but the smartest one is carefully hidden in the underground workshops and laboratories far away from the eyes of a common user. And only some of them were approved to show itself to the publicity. One of such outbreaks became a Pepper robot.

Japanese manufacturers - the Softbank, in particular - may be accused in humanizing the machines, but anyway it's better, than keeping some one hand absurdly looking dummy, which could be easily mistaken with a speaking pot. The humanoid with a chest-mounted screen tablet, if frankly speaking, is actually somewhat you do not imagine after watching fiction movies.

Pepper robot will be able to express emotions and communicate with its owner to perform a variety of interactive roles, starting from the babysitter to guardsman at your home. This is a self-learning machine, which can observe and remember the behavior of the owners accumulating constantly growing experience. If new data apears, it gets uploaded in the cloud storage so that other robots could also use the recently interpreted for them information. And this is exactly how the people behave themselves with each other.

Excellent news: you do not have to go to Japan, Softbank Pepper to get the humanoid robot because it's preparing to launch in the United States before the end of this year. There's no mentioning about the price, but as a starting point, you can consider the price on its native land, which is ¥ 198,000 equaling to $ 1883. And perhaps you will train it so perfectly, that he will be able to save at least up to a few extra minutes a day of your personal time, or maybe even take your job on his own eventually.

The Samsung's Gear S has become thicker and taller than any other SmartWatches ever

Samsung added the next entry to its growing catalog of gadgets with the debut of a new Gear SmartWatch. We have seen the evolution of this from the first Samsung Gear, then crossing the Gear Live and now the world is entering an era of Gear S.

Unlike its predecessors smartwatch gets its own 3G connection. So Gear S doesn't have to be tied to your smartphone evermore, which is quite a significant advantage over Moto 360.

iPad Pro with enormous 12.9 inches display is too heavy to be launched this year

The most impossible and therefore most expected today is the 12.9 inch iPad, which has lately shown up in the web under the name iPad Pro being the largest iPad ever from Apple’s series.

We should also remember that Apple now is trying to promote bigger sizes from their lineup, for example, we have to keep in mind the expected “iPhones” in different displays and improved iPad Air coming soon, so finally the fans of Apple can also compete with other brand owners of the devices in size.

Further to below mentioned matter of the new size, we should not expect the big iPad this year, as according to a well-known supplier of Apple’s rumors Ming-chi Kuo of KGI Securities the new operating system for the “enormous” iPad has to get some improvements to be fitted in the device.

The predicts are aimed on the Quarter I of 2015, as if it will start selling in 2014, the sales might be too low, due to already known devices coming this Fall.

The new HTC Desire 820 will come with 5.5-inch display with a resolution of  720x1280 pixels, Android 4.4.4 KitKat and HTC Sense, that is naturally for this manufacturer, but there is no mentioning about Android 5.0 that we would like to see on board the new Desire, considering Nexus 6 already has. It will also come with an 8-megapixel front facing camera, a 13-megapixel sensor on the cap and a 2600mAh battery on board.

HTC Desire 820 holds a 4G LTE Cat. 4 connectivity, as well as a Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11a/g/b/n.
