Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the recent enhancements that just reached Google Fit. Then we talk about the launch of the Microsoft Lumia 950 and our first impressions. Then we discuss the ridiculous $2000 phone bill that the iPhone 6s just caused a family, according to them of course. We then focus on ...

The cross platform-supporting, sensor-packed but cumbersome and now outdated first-generation Microsoft Band has been a deal darling lately, dropping to $100 before the sequel went on sale stateside, and then $80 as the Black Friday – Cyber Monday frenzy approached. These days, it’s back to $100 for one of the ...

Well, that escalated quickly. Just minutes ago we were poking around the Google Store listing for the new LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE, thinking about what Google might be planning in terms of its own sales, and wondering why despite mentioning availability at both AT&T and Verizon, the page made no effort to ...

Are we really going to get a new, smaller iPhone in early 2016? Maybe, maybe not. But if you're playing the smart money on an upcoming Apple product that's likely to launch sooner rather than later, you'd be wise to pay attention to rumors looking at what the company could be planning for the second-gen Apple Watch. ...

The Huawei Watch is by most account one of the better looking smartwatches around, and though there's a lot to like about the Android Wear model, there is at least one major downside: pricing.

If you set out to build the best smartwatch possible, one that aims to appeal to users across mobile platforms, how would you design it? What software would it run? Android Wear might be a good start, with limited iOS support, but where does that leave Windows smartphone users? One company thinks it can build a watch ...

Given Apple’s toweringly high degree of customer retention, loyalty and excitement over, well, everything iRelated, it’s been surprising to hear the company’s digital wallet service had difficulty with adoption in the only two markets it was available in since October 2014 and July 2015 respectively. Granted, on ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) isn't really something we could call new, but it isn't until now that we notice companies taking this seriously as a new product category.

Pick up a new Apple Watch, and you'll soon find yourself charging your wearable via the included magnetic charging cable. The little puck may not be much to look at, but it gets the job done, and it's small enough to use anywhere. Some users crave something a little bit more elaborate from their charger, and for them ...

These days, fitness trackers are nearly a dime a dozen: they'll count your steps, connect with activity-monitoring apps, and maybe even give you a heads-up when your phone gets a notification. And with so many similar products out there, it's difficult to make your product stand out from an increasingly ...

Apple’s mobile payment service is still a little far from gaining the popularity that Apple might have expected, but at this point this is still understandable. At the moment only two generations of iPhone, iPad and one of Apple Watch support it, and Cupertino still needs to add more markets to list. Added ...

As I write this, I'm seated at a local cafe with only my smartwatch to keep me connected. And so far, I'm not really sure what to think. I received my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE on Friday night, and since then I've been using it with a BlackBerry Priv. In many ways, the Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE (which I'm ...
