We are all familiar with smart phones. But what’s the next gadget that should be “smart”? It might just be your watch. The three biggest names in the smart phone industry, Apple, Samsung and Google either officially announced they are working on smart watches or are rumored to announce smart watches later this year. There has been little detail on the features that the smart watch might have but an obvious feature would be that it will act as an extension to the smart phone. Imagine looking at your smart watch and you will also know that you have new emails and text messages. Or even Facebook notifications. A feature I would like smart watches to have is a very convenient way to see the time from different timezones quickly. I work with people in different timezones so this feature would be important to me. But we should not expect being able to send text messages over your smart watch otherwise, they’d be too large. Battery life is very important so hopefully I don’t need to charge my smart watch every day. It becomes very inconvenient if one’s watch need frequent charging. Later this year, we should start seeing smart watches announced and released by Apple, Samsung and Google. Let’s hope this new device would prove to be an improvement to the regular watch. Share...

After so many “leaks” of the features of the upcoming Galaxy S4, Samsung fans finally got a glimpse of the latest iteration of the Galaxy S series of smart phones. The upgraded features did not disappoint most reviewers. The case and location of the home button of the S4 looks very similar to the S3 but the S4 is lighter and thinner. It also has a larger battery capacity at 2600mAH vs 2100mAH on the older unit providing the extra juice for its slightly larger 5” 1080pixel screen and 8-core CPU (some markets may only have 4-core CPUs). Yes, that’s 8 microprocessors on this smartphone. Your regular desktop computer most likely will have less CPU cores. A 13 megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel camera on the front and the camera software allows you to use both cameras simultaneously. That might come in handy if you pretend to take pictures of something in front of you but you are also taking a picture of someone behind you. I like the addition of an infrared blaster which means you can use the S4 as a remote control for your TV, DVD and even your aircon. This may just be the reason why I’ll get an S4 over an iPhone 5 when I upgrade my lowly but quite reliable Galaxy S mini at the end of the telco contract. Pretty handy if I only reach for the S4 instead of three or more remote controls when I’m too sleepy to remember which is the power button on each remote. There’s a ton of software upgrades on the S4, from the latest...
