The problem with cards on Android Wear is that once you dismiss them they're gone forever. Google should look to Apple glances to give users persistent, on-demand access to information on their smartwatches.

Extending smartphone functionality to your wrist is not creating the magical new market opportunity many were predicting.

I think the answer is no. It's not worth upgrading your smartphone in 2015. Especially if the phone you own is less than two years old. Recent handset releases from Apple, Samsung, LG, Sony and Motorola are proving to be incremental. Long gone, it seems, are the days when a new model...

Could combining the best of Apple Watch with the best of Android Wear result in the perfect wearable? Android Wear has come a long way since its somewhat shaky start in early 2014. The UI is streamlined, battery life is (marginally) improved, and wi-fi is a neat trick that allows...

Not only are Xiaomi's new Mii Note phones lighter and thinnner than Apple's iPhone 6 Plus, but they are priced over 50% cheaper. Apple and Samsung: hear them roar.
