iTunes Comes With Free Bono
Your iTunes subscription now comes with its very own free Bono (album in which he sings lead vocals).
Apple Watch Comes With Its Own Terrifying, Animated Emoji
Sure, the highly anticipated Apple Watch may come packing lots of "features" and "practical functions." But let's focus on what really matters—the tiny, colored icons that say all the things we cannot. And apparently, in Apple Watch land, all those things are going to be impossibly creepy.
The iPhone 6's New M8 Chip Makes It a Truly Badass Fitness Tracker
Among all the other goodies being packed into the brand new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the phone comes bearing the newest generation of Apple's M chip—the M8. And it might finally turn the iPhone into the fitness tracker we've been waiting for.
HTC One (M8) Google Play Edition Review: Great But For that Camera
Android purists have a common refrain they like to bust out every time a beautiful new piece of hardware comes out: "If only it ran pure Android!" in F-sharp. There's a pervasive belief that unpasteurized Android—and only unpasteurized Android—directly from the great teat in Mountain View is all that's needed to…
HTC's new-for-2014 One is a bold and beautiful smartphone, and for 24 hours tomorrow it's a killer deal: just $100 through HTC's online store. The deal starts at midnight tonight and ends at midnight on May 8th, with a two-year contract on AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint.
​HTC One 2014 Review: Faster, Stronger, Bigger, Better
Last year, the original HTC One won us over with its unprecedented Android design chops. Machined from a solid block of aluminum, it was beautiful and incredibly satisfying to hold. Not only that, it absolutely hauled ass. Needless to say, the new HTC One has big shoes to fill.
The New HTC One: HTC's Flagship Phone Gets a Full Metal Jacket
Last year, HTC gambled on funneling its resources into a single flagship smartphone. That bet paid off in the form of the One, the first truly beautiful Android device. Its successor—the new HTC One—builds on that existing framework. It's all grown up, in all the right ways.
LEGO Leica Camera Works, But Won't Fool Anybody
Save yourself $5k by making a Leica M8 out of LEGO for $50. It's a good way to dodge those red-dot taxes, but I'll warn you: the 3MP camera will hardly hold up to your phone, let alone a Leica.
Here's A Way To Make Your iPhone 4 Really Look Like A Leica Camera
Sure, you could add a faux leather skin to re-create the classic Leica feel but why do that when you could just print out a picture of a Leica Camera and tape it to the back of your iPhone 4?
Meizu M8's New Interface Almost Makes Me Want It
Meizu M8, maybe the most legendary knockoff gadget around, maintains its "inspired" tradition with a refreshed UI that feels faintly of the Palm Pre in terms of graphical styling. I like it, even if I know, really, I'd hate it.
Leica's Limited-Edition White M8 Digital Is Beautiful
I've really been digging these white cameras lately. Pentax's cookies 'n' cream K2000 and now the decidedly more luxe limited-edition Leica M8. If you have to ask how much it costs, it's not for you.
Meizu's M8 iPhoneclone UI Demoed, Looks Cloned Indeed
Meizu's fabled M8 iPhoneclone may indeed be soon on sale, but until now we've only seen bits and bobs of its user interface: Now Meizu is demonstrating this with a neat little animation site. And guess what? Go on, you'll never guess! ...It's a pretty similar beast to the iPhone. There're some tweaks and differences…
Meizu's M8 iPhone Clone To Hit US Shores by Christmas Eve
We recently mentioned that Meizu's M8 iPhone clonephone was really coming to the shops in China at the end of the year, but according to the head of the company, things'll be happening a bit sooner than that.
Meizu M8 iPhone Clone Hitting China, India In December
Meizu's iPhone copycatting M8 cellphone is to be vaporware no longer thanks to GeekITstores, who will be launching it in China then India from December onwards. The 8GB model is apparently due to cost somewhere between $380 and $470, and will be launched with "complete fanfare"...presumably because it's the "iPhone…
Leica's $11,000 Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 Lens Is a Nightvision Owl Eye For Your Camera
Yeah, you read that right: f/ zero point nine five. As in less than f/1, which was where Leica's legendary Noctilux was positioned before and as low as Canon goes with their 50mm f/1.0L glass, making it the world's fastest major consumer lens on the market today (f-numbers are logarithmic, so that's over a full…
Meizu M8 Captured On Film: Realer Than Big Foot But Not Nearly As Interesting
Remember the Meizu M8? It was the iPhone clone, the one that we were all excited to see...back in 2007. Now that Apple's added 3G to the mix, expanded storage and lowered the price with contract, the prospect of a (still unreleased) 8GB iClone has gotten a whole lot less enticing. But just for those who thought Meizu…
Meizu M8 iClone Finally Coming in August?
Meizu will finally release the iPhone-wannabe M8 in August, according to a cryptic message board post by CEO Jack Wong. The first version will have 128MB RAM and an unspecified amount of storage, and a second version should ship in October with 256MB RAM and 8GB on-board flash. The funniest part? The M8 will cost…
Meizu Adding Live Messenger to iPhone Vaporware Clone
The apparently incombustible Meizu CEO, Jack Wong, has just announced that they are going to add Live Messenger to their M8 cellphone, the rather pathetic and sad motherboard that wants to be an iPhone clone when it grows up (if it ever gets released). In other words: new vaporware announced for vaporware. The usual…
Meizu M8 MiniOne UI Tweaked, Again
A whole week almost elapsed without there being any rework to Meizu's M8 MiniOne UI, which is so shocking, I almost fell of my chair. Thankfully, it was not to be, as some new images are making the rounds on the old tubes.
Update: Apparently, this is just a mockup by the guys at CNMO and not at all a UI refresh.…
Cops Shut Down Meizu's CeBIT Booth for Ripping Off Apple
It looks like we weren't the only ones not impressed with Meizu's M8 iPhone ripoff - its booth at CeBIT was shut down by the local police and all products and promotional materials were removed. Yikes! Apparently some other booths were shut down as well, as this was part of a wider initiative to protect patent and…
