The third annual CES Asia came to a close this week with a celebration of wearable technology. The grand finale was a fashion show that featured cutting-edge sports tech alongside biometric ballgowns. The e-skin shirt, by Japanese developer Xenoma, is a machine-washable top that uses 15 sensors to monitor the wearer’s movements. It’s designed not only for sport, but also for motion-capture, so you could use your body as a game controller without the need for cameras or markers in the room.

Most of bags featured here are for DSLR cameras, whose interchangeable lenses, some of them mighty in size, demand some thought when you’re mobile. Thule Aspect DSLR BackpackAs well as a DSLR, various lenses and flashes, the long, slim Aspect can house a giant 15.6-inch laptop in a side-opening sleeve, as well as an iPad. Inside, three snap-shut pouches spring open to grip a compact mirrorless camera or DSLR (though it’s best for smaller entry-level models). However, you need to add the optional

Google’s follow-ups to last year’s Pixel and Pixel XL are two of the flagships we’ve still not seen this year – with a reveal expected October time – but judging by the specs that just leaked onto the web, they’re going to be worth the wait. The posted benchmarks show a phone with a 2.4GHz Snapdragon 835 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage space and a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with 4K video support. Remember we’re anticipating that two or maybe even three Pixel 2 phones will make an

The University of Oxford’s driverless car guru Paul Newman has admitted that he wouldn’t trust his kids in an autonomous vehicle yet, but remains bullish about a near-future where we wonder why we ever drove ourselves. Newman, speaking at the recording of ‘The Engineers: The Rise of the Robots’ a BBC Worldwide production hosted at London’s Science Museum, is Professor of Information Engineering and heads up Oxford Robotics Institute at the University. Asked by the audience whether he would trust

But the Essential Phone could also easily become another also-ran handset, one with trendy idea masked by a recognizable name. Let’s take a closer look at the Essential Phone and its chances of actually becoming essential. But being thin has been in vogue forever, and the Snapdragon 835 chipset has now become a must for a new flagship Android phone. Tougher than the competitionOne thing the Essential Phone seems to be declaring as essential is durability. Here’s what’s different about the Essent

There’s good news if you’re looking to purchase the HTC U11 unlocked and shop on Amazon, because it’s still available to ship right away in most colors. It costs the normal $649 for the no contract HTC U11 and comes with free one-day shipping for Amazon Prime customers. This contrasts with the official HTC website, where the HTC U11 is sold out for the next two to four weeks. HTC U11 unlocked vs SprintThere’s a big difference between the HTC U11 unlocked and the HTC U11 on Sprint that you should

There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to PC upkeep. It’s by no means an effortless task, and it only gets more onerous as you consider upgrading the various components. On the bright side, maintaining a PC comes down to little more than a basic understanding of how one works. Like the war waging in the graphics cards space between Nvidia and AMD, the CPU market oversees the rivalry of AMD vs Intel. For example, while AMD’s chips typically boast more cores, the cores that Intel’s CPUs do

Microsoft is augmenting Edge with another feature from digital assistant Cortana so you can save a few bucks while shopping (and maybe convince you to actually use the internet browser). The tech giant is rolling out a pilot feature for Microsoft Edge that allows Cortana to compare prices for merchandise on the web. The feature works similar to other Cortana skills, where the digital assistant will give you a notification if there’s relevant information on the webpage you’re visiting. Cortana’s

Reed.co.uk is best known as a recruitment website, but it also hosts a number of online courses including Ubuntu Linux for Beginners. Ubuntu Linux for Beginners is available as a series of video lectures, allowing you to learn at your own pace. However, it’s worth noting that the Skill Success course page seems a little confused over who exactly is teaching it. The first topic focuses on getting started with Ubuntu Linux, while discussing other distributions. The course then goes on to explain h

Your Google Pixel or Pixel XL may be further from the end of its support cycle than you thought — if you’re used to Android releases, that is. More specifically, no more guaranteed Android version updates will arrive after October 2018. This means that after the release of Android O this summer, Pixel owners can expect at least one more guaranteed major update (presumably Android P) before things go up in the air. It’s important to note that Google is only announcing the latest it can guarantee

The iPhone 8 may not realise its full potential with rumors suggesting Apple may limit the data speeds on its upcoming handset. According to Bloomberg, the next iPhone may not be compatible with gigabit data speeds – the next big thing to take the smartphone world by storm – which boast faster downloads and uploads than our current 4G networks deliver. But Intel, Apple’s other modem supplier, is allegedly lagging behind schedule in developing a modem that’s comparable to Qualcomm’s in time for A

Apple is now cracking down on apps that send you notifications to review them on the App Store. Apple won’t allow third-party apps to ask you to leave the app altogether, but instead will offer an alternative that allows you to give it a star rating without having to leave the app you’re using. The notification prompts you to review the app you’re using and gives you a five star rating system, but it doesn’t look like you can leave a comment in your review without switching over to the App Store

Microsoft is further bolstering its defences against cyber-attacks with the announcement that it has acquired an innovative Israeli security startup. Hexadite is a firm which specialises in using artificial intelligence and machine learning to help detect and protect against attacks, delivering automated incident investigation and remediation capabilities. The software giant said that acquiring Hexadite will help to boost the capabilities of Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (WDATP), e

That was true when he wrote it, but now we have Best Friend Forever tests and it may be the only tool you need to persuade your nemesis to become your best mate. Or at least that’s what the plethora of BFF test apps on the Google Play Store suggest. If you want to know who your real friends are, you need to download the Best Friend Forever Test specifically so you can get a percentage and truly put the playground question of your best friend ever to rest. I first noticed Best Friend Forever Test

That franchise is, of course, Star Wars, which also just happens to be owned by Disney. We already know that a 4K version of the movie exists, the only question is when it’s going to make its way to us. Resolution revolutionOf course the increase in resolution is only half the story when it comes to Star Wars remasters. It’s tonally out of place, adds close to nothing to the film, and… oh just watch it for yourself. In the original shot R2 is pretty exposed, and yeah, I guess you could argue the

Rockstar make great games, that is gospel in the gaming community. That’s why back at E3 in 2009 PlayStation proudly announced that they had partnered with Rockstar for their new title, Agent – a PS3 exclusive. But as time went on (and with no update from Rockstar) fans started to worry. They then got really worried when the PS4 was announced and Agent was still nowhere to be seen, especially as it was not at all mentioned as a PS4 title. We still hold hope of an Agent release though, as in 2015

Just ahead of E3 2017, Samsung has issued three brand new gaming monitors for the year, and they’re all curved, QLED displays with HDR10 technology. Being curved screens, Samsung’s focus here is on speedy refresh rates and response times for heavy-action online gaming. Both of Samsung’s new 27-inch and 32-inch gaming monitors come packing a 2,560 x 1,440 QHD resolution through the firm’s Quantum Dot LED technology (i.e. Now, Samsung’s new monitor that costs as much as two modestly-built gaming P
