Apple watch

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...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based  $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though  (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the  Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well,  Apple . In a series of photos posted to his  website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by  CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...
