WIMM One Developer Kit Review

Chris Davies, Nov 9th 2011 Discuss [7]

The WIMM One has a worthy ambition: shifting information from your smartphone screen to your wrist, and allowing you to get on with life rather than pulling your phone from your pocket every thirty seconds. To do that, WIMM‘s smart watch harnesses Android, a high-tech display and more sensors than you’d expect from the standard Rolex or Omega. The company also has its eye on smart watch world domination, with enthusiastic plans for third-party developers and hardware manufacturers. The WIMM One Developer Kit is the first step in that journey; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Chris Davies, Jul 6th 2011 Discuss [1]

In-browser Skype video calls are likely to be the big unveil this week, it’s believed, with TechCrunch‘s sources suggesting the Spartan charge won’t be made until sometime between July 15 (when Facebook is apparently pushing developers to be complete by) and August 1. However, those sources are also sharing some tidbits to further whet our appetites – and raise questions over just who Facebook’s target really is, Apple or Google.

HP TouchPad Review

Vincent Nguyen, Jun 29th 2011 Discuss [28]

Palm’s mobile platform always seemed to good to be left solely to smartphones, and the HP TouchPad is the inevitable result. Problem is, the iPad has already made its presence well and truly known, dominating the consumer tablet market, and Android’s Honeycomb drive gains OEM support by the week. Can the multitasking charms of webOS 3.0 promise the TouchPad a bright future, or is it simply a case of too late to the party? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
