BlackBerry had some initial difficulties with delayed pre-order shipments due to high demand, but expected to have all units shipped out by tomorrow, November 24, so hopefully the supply issues are cleared up. If you're in the UK and want to get your hands on a Priv straight from BlackBerry, you can hit up the link below to grab one for £559.
The Galaxy S6 is a brilliant product from Samsung, and there has been so much intrigue in its Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that it has since unveiled theSamsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ phablet. Samsung doesn't rest on its laurels too long, though, and in March 2016 at Mobile World Congress we will see the new Samsung Galaxy S7 revealed - potentially alongside a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
In the S6 Samsung turned its back on Qualcomm and instead used one of its own Exynos processors; while it's possible that we could see a continuation of this trend, we know Samsung has already been testing out the Snapdragon 820. In fact, Samsung is thought to be working alongside Qualcomm in manufacturing the 820 with 3GHz Kyro CPU cores. This also means the new S7 could see Adreno 530 graphics and LP-DDR4 RAM - possibly as much as 6GB, although 4GB is more likely.
We don't expect to see anything new in the already very good screen, so expect a 5.1in Quad HD SuperAMOLED panel. The fingerprint scanner and heart-rate montor found in the S6 will also likely feature. The Samsung Galaxy S7 will come with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and TouchWiz.
Expect the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge to go on sale in April 2016.
Fossil has taken its sweet time getting its self-branded smart wearables ready, but they're finally here... well, almost. The fashion brand has unveiled Fossil Q, a wristwear series with Intel's connected tech under the hood. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the Q Founder (above), its long-expected Android Wear smartwatch. The circular, stylish accessory looks much as it did when it first appeared this summer. However, it now ties into a special app that both keeps tabs on fitness and promotes "curiosity" -- basically, reminders to shake up your routine. It arrives this holiday for a not-too-pricey $275.
If that strikes you as overkill, there's a trio of activity trackers to choose from. The Q Grant ($175 to $195) is a conventional-looking watch that both tracks fitness and delivers a handful notifications through vibrations and color LEDs. The Q Reveler and Q Dreamer, meanwhile, are $125 conventional wristband trackers that shouldn't look out of place if you're well-dressed. All of the trackers will work with Android phones and iPhones (through the previously mentioned Fossil app) when they arrive on October 25th.
It's been two years since Apple announced its plot to put your iPhone's core featuresinside the dash of your car, but only now is its CarPlay software becoming available in lots of new models. In brief, CarPlay allows you to connect your trusty iOS device to a vehicle's infotainment system to make things like texts, maps and music accessible from the console. Sure, the goal is to provide an easier way to use your phone on the road, but it also nixes the distraction of swiping through screens on the phone itself. To put CarPlay through its paces, I hit the highway for a 7.5-hour road trip in a 2016 Camaro SS, a model that'll arrive soon at your local dealer. From Philadelphia to Raleigh, North Carolina, I used it to navigate, find food and stream in-car entertainment along the way. This first version of Apple's software for the car is certainly useful, but as I found, there's room for improvement.
Smartwatches are starting to look like regular watches. Movado, a Swiss watchmaker known for its crisp designs, has partnered with HP Inc. for its Bold Motion smartwatch. It will do all the smartwatch things -- alert you to emails, texts, phone calls, meetings and even track your steps -- but it won't look like a shrunken phone screen that's strapped on your wrist. The smart timepiece retains Movado's simplicity and tradition with a circular disc that marks 12 on the dial but it comes to life with subtle vibrations and aqua-hued LED clues in sync with notifications on your phone.
The Bold Motion, Engineered by HP has bluetooth connectivity and it's both, Android and iOS compatible. It has a round black dial, a black silicone strap and a 44mm stainless steel case -- only a tad thicker than the company's 39mm original Bold watch series -- that makes room for HP's computing power inside.
Engineered by HP is a program that allows HP to slip technology into fashion accessories. Previous partnerships include a Michael Bastian smartwatch and Vivienne Tam netbook. The collaboration with Movado, while a fashion-heavy extension of the program, is also indicative of the smartwatch peer pressure traditional watchmakers are under.
