Week in Tech: LG G3 busts out the big guns and Apple buys its groove back
Week in Tech Simbad, self-drivers and the sadness of Sergey
By TechRadar
Could Dr Dre's long-delayed Detox album be the One More Thing at next
week's WWDC? Probably not - but the charismatic rap legend does have a
new job at Apple, where he and his Beats Audio partner Jimmy Iovine will
have roles as "Dre" and "Jimmy" respectively.
And that's not even the strangest thing that happened this week. It's a particularly weird Week in Tech!
Straight Outta Cupertino
Apple announced its purchase of Beats Audio
for a cool $3 billion this week. Apple's press release makes it clear
what Apple really wants here: Beats Music first, Dre and Jimmy Iovine
second and Beats' iconic headphones third. Interestingly, Apple isn't
planning to shutter Beats Music on non-Apple platforms in the
foreseeable future.
LG slams Steve
"We love Steve Jobs,
but he was wrong". That's LG's head of smartphone planning, Dr Ramchan
Woo, talking about the incredibly high-res screen of the LG G3:
apparently Apple's idea of a retina display just isn't good enough.
Screen aside, is the G3 any cop? Our very own Gareth Beavis says yes -
but he's not convinced it's a market leader.
Simband the sail... er...
Naming things is hard, and we'd love to know what names Samsung considered before coming up with Simband.
Popeyes? Aladdun? The wearable tech is a cross between Sony Core and
Android Wear, and it's designed for third parties to develop "advanced
sensors, algorithms and other technologies" for Samsung hardware.
Baby you can drive my car
Google has unveiled its new self-driving cars, and unlike previous versions there's no steering wheel or pedals for human intervention.
Our Gary Marshall reckons that the new cars "are so light, so slow and
so packed with foam that if one of them smacked into you on a zebra
crossing it'd probably bounce off" but he's more scared of "some goon in
a pickup or a harassed HGV driver." "For some time to come, self
driving cars will be the new concept cars," he predicts.
Steam for a little longer
Remember the Steam Machine, Valve's alternative to the big-name consoles? Well you can forget about them for a while, because they've been postponed to 2015. Maybe Valve's planning to ship them with Half-Life 3.
iPhone home
Apple's planning to embrace the internet of things in a big way, with iOS devices becoming the centre of your automated home. What will that be like? We have some predictions, including amazing in-car entertainment and faintly frightening toilets.
Apple and Samsung should be worried: our OnePlus One review
says the super-cheap smartphone is "amazing", says Jon Mundy. It offers
a "performance to price ratio [that's] one of the most impressive we've
ever seen in a smartphone, offering Samsung Galaxy S5 performance for less than half the price."
Sergey's sad about Google+
Ever wondered why Google+ hasn't quite set the world on fire? Google co-founder Sergey Brin says it's all his fault
because he's "kind of a weirdo". With hindsight, Brin reckons that he's
"not a very social person", and shouldn't have been allowed anywhere
near anything social. Still, we're sure his net worth of around $30
billion will cheer him up a bit.
Sony at MWC 2014 With the Xperia Z1 only just launched, we wouldn't forgive Sony for taking it easy and just bringing along a couple of those for people to play on and some t-shirts to give away. Surely it can't be preparing to release another flagship smartphone already. There could be a mini version of the Xperia Z1 Wrong. It seems the Japanese firm is going big, and going hard at MWC this year despite its Vegas-based exploits. First up it seems almost certain that we're going to see a new flagship from the firm, which is going to irk Z1 owners who just shelled out loads for what was supposedly 'the best of Sony in a smartphone'. Well, it looks like it will be outshone by the handset most are (understandably) dubbing the Xperia Z2, which will run Android KitKat according to the leaked video of the 'Sirius D6503' - which seems to be a better Z1. Sony Xperia Z2 : what you need to know A new UI, 4K recording and Background defocus which
We're at the big Samsung Galaxy Tab S launch in New York! We'll be a-bloggin' as it happens Yup, that's a tablet if ever we saw one Samsung's got some surprises for us today in New York, so we've made sure that we're placed slap bang in the middle of the action. And we'll be bringing you all the news as it breaks. Well, we say surprises - we'll be more surprised if it's not the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, which has been heavily tipped to appear. But hopefully there will be a few other things too. It looks like some of the details on the slate may have already been leaked, with one insider claiming that Samsung's set to reveal the a slate that manages to pack in plenty of grunt and somehow still measure thinner than the iPad Air. You'll have to wait until the event kicks off to find out what's fact and what's fiction. We'll be right there, dishing up the details and serving you with our opinion by the dollo
