It's time for the Apple Watch

SAN FRANCISCO - We've been covering the Apple Watch since it was first announced in September, at the event that also launched the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and Apple Pay.

After months of hype, the Apple Watch is almost ready for launch.

So as Apple prepares to have a more in-depth unveiling of the watch Monday, we decided to pull much of our Apple Watch coverage into one place.Here's what we know: the smartwatch from Apple will go on sale in April, with three editions starting at $350. The second-tied "Sport" edition is expected to sell for $500 or so, while the top of the line, 18-karat gold edition could sport anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000. This is Apple's first new product category since 2010's iPad, and the watches are expected to sell between 10 million and 20 million units in the first year.

Analysts expect big first year sales for the Apple Watch, which is being released in April.

Apple consumers know that every year, the company says it's new version of a product is lighter, smaller, faster and just way better than the year before. That's not how watches are sold. They are supposed to last a lifetime. How will consumers feel about buying a watch with a limited shelf life?

The Apple Watch is projected to become the biggest seller in the growing wearables category. We explore the other options to date--including the Fitbit, Jawbone and smartwatches from Samsung, LG and Pebble

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Nexus

Huawei and Google reportedly releasing a Nexus phone this fall This year, we may see a first for Google’s line of Nexus Android phones: a Chinese manufacturer. The Information reports that Huawei is in line to produce the device, which is said to be planned for fall. It’s not the first we’ve heard of the possibility; IBT said last month that the Huawei Nexus phone was coming, citing an employee at the company’s UK branch, while Android Police published a tentative rumor in May suggesting that there would be two Nexus phones this year — a 5.7-inch Huawei device and a 5.2-inch phone from LG. The relationship between Google and Huawei could be mutually beneficial beyond the phone’s co-development. The Information claims that talks are in progress for Huawei to help Google bring a mobile app store to China, where government regulations have restricted the search giant from conducting much business of note. HUAWEI COULD HEL...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
