Google launches Meet, an online meeting service for businesses

Google has launched Meet, a new service for businesses that will allow users to have meetings online. While it does sound similar to what Hangouts does this is more geared towards business users and has a limited set of functionalities.
Meet will let you start or join an existing meeting using the website or the Android or iOS app. You can start a meeting by creating a code and then anyone with that code can join in. You can also schedule meetings for later. The meetings are done over either video, which can be up to 720p in resolution, or audio. With video, you will see the person talking at the top of the screen with the list of other members below. G Suite Enterprise Edition customers will also have dial-in numbers available.
Google is yet to officially announce Meet. The website is now accessible but cannot be used. The mobile apps are yet to appear on their respective stores.

TCL (alcatel) is probably making BlackBerry's next smartphone

Image
The next BlackBerry smartphone will be unveiled next month, according to the company's CEO. He's also previously said to expect two cheaper offerings this year compared to the high-end Priv - one with a physical keyboard and one without. That all-touchscreen model could be the one seeing the light of day in July, as it turns out. And TCL, the Chinese company best known elsewhere for making alcatel-branded phones, might be the one manufacturing it. There's not a lot of evidence for this yet, however, and what we do have is mostly circumstantial, as they'd say. But bear with us. A TCL device with the product name DTEK 50 has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which is odd because DTEK is the name of the privacy suite that ships on the BlackBerry Priv. But wait, there's more! The model number for TCL's device is listed as STH100-2, which strangely manages to fully adhere to BlackBerry's way of using model numbers for its products (case in ...

Skylanders Swap Force Review

Image
Everything AND the kitchen sink.  Skylanders Swap Force delivers almost everything fans could want. There are fantastic new characters, a funny story, and a complete disregard for the boring rules that say robots and wizards shouldn't be part of the same world. It also delivers everything Activision, its publisher, could want. There are loads of new toys that you need to complete the optional challenges, a brand-new portal that you can only purchase in the starter packs, and a fanbase that has already made the previous games runaway bestsellers. The initial appeal of Skylanders has always been in putting that physical toy on the portal and then watching it come to life in the digital world. While I'm still fascinated by the hardware and software that makes that transition possible, Skylanders' real magic is its unrestricted embrace of everything in the toy box. When my k...

Nexus 5 Snap Case now available on Play Store

Image
Google has added a new case for the Nexus 5 on the Play Store. Called the Snap Case, the new case is made from a harder material and unlike the previous Bumper Case or the QuickCover does not wrap completely around the device. The new Snap Case is lighter and thinner than the other two cases and is designed to offer protection without adding too much to the size and weight of the phone. There are already several variations of this design available for the Nexus 5 from third party manufacturers. The Snap Case is available in black, white, grey, aqua and clear for $29.99, which is a bit steep as you can get a similar case from other manufacturers for half the price.

Microsoft promo shaves $150 off the prices of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book

Image
This isn't the first limited time price cut that Microsoft applies for the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, and it clearly won't be the last. It is a pretty sweet deal however, so if you've been eyeing either of these devices it would be a pity not to take advantage of it while it lasts. Through Microsoft's online store, you can now buy select Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book models for $150 less than before. This means that, for example, the Surface Pro 4 with 128GB of storage, Core i5 processor, and 4GB of RAM can be yours for just $849 (was previously $999). Get the tablet with the same CPU but 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and you'll shell out $1,149, down from $1,299. Move up from that to a Core i7 and pay $1,449, and not $1,599. Or just splurge for the i7 paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage if you can part with $1,649. The situation is similar for the Surface Book. It now starts at $1,349 (not $1,499), with a Core i5, 8GB of RA...
