All Things Technology

In 1983 Apple released the first computer with a mouse and graphical user interface, the Lisa computer. The computer delivered the goods but Apple priced it way too high.  In today's dollars Apple Lisa computer would cost $21,000 apiece. What happened after? the company burried millions of unsold Lisa computers at a Utah landfill as a tax-write off.

Seriously I couldn't believe  what I saw when Tim Cook, Apple's CEO announced at yesterday spring forward event that the 18-Karat Gold Apple Watch Edition would cost interested buyers $10,000 and--wait for it--even goes for $17,000 for the most expensive models. That's a ridiculous amount of money for something that you wear around your wrists.

This is luxury Edition and it could cost $11,000

Yes, today is the D day! Apple Inc. will officially launch its first wearable device, a tiny computer worn around the wrist called the Apple Watch. The smart watch was unveiled alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets in September, 2014.

Today the company will shed more light on the device, pricing and availability---we already know it will sync with the iPhone and can make and receive phone calls, emails, text messaging and even surf the web.

To all you PlayStation 4 owners, there is good news! The company that built your gaming device, Sony, has that it will release the Morpheus virtual reality headset in 2016. President of Sony's Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida,leaked the details at the Game Developers Conference in San Franscisco.

How do you compete with established smart watch makers when you are just starting out? Build a smart watch that looks more like a traditional timepiece,and you get the attention you craved for. That's exactly what Chinese tech titan Huawei just did with first smartwatch.

I took a walk down to Apple official website to see if I could learn a thing or two about the Apple Watch, and I sure did because Apple updated the smartwatch website with new details. I got some  photos of the iconic Apple Watch and will share of the interesting features of the Apple Watch in a later post.

Weeks after search giant Google revealed it would stop selling its Glasss smart eyewear,and going back to the drawing board for a new device,Japanese firm Sony  has made its alternative to Google Glass, the SmartEyeGlasses Developer Edition  SED-E1, available for pre-order to interested explorers, sorry developers, in the UK and Germany for $840(or £620), starting next month.

Still wondering why such a great product like Google Glass never caught much attention as it should? You are not alone. But, come to think of it, among the sea of technology bloggers who prophesied all manner of good things about the smart eyewear, when it debuted in 2012, only one man stood out . Though he is not a tech blogger neither a prophet, he foresaw the future of Google Glass.  And I think he was righ to some extent.

Imagine 10 years from now when wearables become mainstream and we’re over-accessorized with wearables from head to toe. Suited for almost any application or lifestyle, HIRIS is looking to turn the single-functioning wearable on its head. 

Well, it was earlier thought to ship in the United States of America in March, but we just heard from the horse mouth that Apple's will release its Apple Watch in April. Gay CEO of the company Timothy Cook made the announcement during the company's first quarter earnings call this morning.

News coming from Blommberg has it that Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC will launch a new smartphone called the One M9 with a 20-MP rear camera, an Ultrapixel(4MP or below) front camera and audio features, and also a fitness-focused smartwatch at Mobile World Congress in March.

Hey guys, sorry for not keeping  you guys up-to-date on the latest technology news. l was attending to some 'serious' issues. Anyway am back and ready to roll.

Yes, I just found out that Google will stop selling the current version of its $1500 internet-connected eyewear called Glass to interested buyers as from tomorrow. This is to make room for a more improved model of the wearable device(which is expected to sell later this year under CEO of Nest Labs Tony Fadell. It has recently announced that it will shut down the Google Glass Explorer program.

As I said before, wearables and self-driving cars are the most anticipated technologies of 2015. And LG and Audi showed us that a wearable device can work hand in hand with a driveless car. A smartwatch is not just for sending emails, surfing the net, make phone calls etc. but can also be used to control a car.

The consumer Electronics Show is a consumer technology trade show where you get to see all of sorts of technologies--from cars that can drive themselves and appliances that can be controlled from a smartphone to headsets(virtual reality) that can take you to another world and TVs that offer four times the resolution of 1080p(4K), name it,CES  covers all . Below are some of the coolest products at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015.

Ever since Apple unveiled the Apple Watch alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus handsets, Apple fanboys had been bursting to know the date the device would go on sale. But it appears the wait is almost over as report from 9to5Mac has it that the smartwatch will go on sale in the United States in March.

Wearable technology and Internet of Things(Connected homes) will be the highlights of this year's Consumer Electronic Show. And a wearable did just that on Sunday.

 Belty,  a smart belt that uses built-in 'tiny' motors to fasten itself when you are sitting down and releases when you take in more than what your stomach can hold, is getting everyone's attention at CES Unveiled. The Belty ''smart belt'' is the brain child of French startup Emiota and is due to be out later this year.

The wearable device market is still young and growing, and Intel wants to dominate the scene before its rivals like ARM enters.It already released the MICA smart bracelet. It has been reported that its chips will power the next iteration of Google Glass. And now, the leading chipmaker and italy-based Luxottica Group are collaborating to develop a smart fashionable eyewear, as part of a multi-year partnership ''deal.'' The product to come out of that deal is expected to hit consumers' wrists in 2015. Details about Intel-Luxottica deal or the smart eyeglass are scarce at the moment.
In case you don't know, Luxottica is the world's largest eyewear maker, with control of 80% of the world's eyewear brands. It is also the same company designing, manufacturing frames for Google Glass.

The world's biggest chipmaker Intel has been showing some signs of getting into the wearable business for a while now. At least to make up for not dominating the tablet and smartphone market. It  released two wearable products two months ago--the MICA smart bracelet and the peak fitness and sleep tracker--- and again, developed a tiny computer for wearable devices known as Edison.
