Asus teases new Padfone with a blender video

Blender-based ads have become a genre of their own over the past few years but Asus is trying to break the mold by advertising the products being blended rather than the blender itself.

So, what do you get when you blend together a smartphone, a tablet and a laptop?
A new Padfone to be announced at Computex 2014, that’s what. The event will be held in just four days on June 2. It will be livestreamed (starting 2pm local time) and there’s even a countdown timer for the more anxious among you.

In case you don’t know what a Padfone is (not to be confused with Fonepad), it’s a smartphone that goes into a dedicated tablet dock, plus there’s an additional keyboard dock. Each separate dock has an additional battery and you get to use the same data plan for your phone and tablet, all your data is in the same place to boot.

BeatsPill+ is the first Beats speaker post Apple acquisition

Image
You can't be a part of Apple and not have a Plus model, Beats Electronics will testify. The first product out of the company after the acquisition is the BeatsPill+ wireless speaker. Sporting an updated design compared to the Pill 2.0, the new model keeps the shape of its namesake, but has the controls on a flat top plate and the drivers firing forward instead of up at an angle. 63mm high, the Pill+ is 17mm taller than the Pill 2.0, and it's also 2cm longer. That doesn't prepare you for the 745g of heft - the thing is 2.4 times heavier than the 2.0. The stereo speaker has a 2-way crossover for a total of four drivers. The Pill+ connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, and if you pair it with a phone, you could use its speakerphone function. You can sync a couple of Pill-pluses and have each play a separate channel, or just have both pump out the same signal for more bang. BeatsPill+ speaker The battery inside Beats' latest creation should be goo...

Jak and Daxter Collection Vita Review

Image
Jak and Daxter get deported.  The Jak and Daxter series stands as a testament to the awesome games of the PlayStation 2 generation, and also serves as the turning point when we really started to recognize Naughty Dog as a top-tier developer. Last year the original trilogy got a rather excellent HD upgrade and port to the PlayStation 3 with the Jak and Daxter HD Collection. This year the same trilogy comes to the PlayStation Vita, and while it's a thrill to have some of the best platformers ever on my portable system, I have to say that the Vita is the worst way to play these games. As a rundown for the uninitiated: Jak 1 ( full review here ) is a classic platformer from the PS2 days, full of charisma and humor. It's got a kid-friendly vibe, and focuses more on the platforming than combat. It's one of those game genres that have been forgotten, and ...

Samsung Galaxy Alpha to be unveiled on August 4

Image
The incredibly often leaked Samsung Galaxy Alpha (seen on the right in the image below) could become official a lot sooner than you may have expected, if a new rumor is to be believed. The device, which will introduce the world to the concept of Samsung using metal in an Android smartphone, is said to be announced on August 4 - that's the coming Monday, by the way. It's also earlier than the August 13 date a past rumor mentioned. This may of course have something to do with the fact that the Galaxy Note 4 will get unveiled at the beginning of September. Making the Alpha official around one month before that allows it to have the spotlight all to itself for a few weeks, after which the new Note will become the talk of the town. With its rumored 4.7 or 4.8-inch touchscreen, the Galaxy Alpha may have been designed by Samsung to be a direct competitor to the iPhone 6, which should get a similarly sized display. The metallic construction will certainly make...
