Wearable Tech in 2025: Going Beyond Smartwatches

January 7, 2025 by noemi

For years, smartwatches have been the face of wearable tech, tracking our steps, monitoring our heart rates, and keeping us connected without constantly checking our phones. But as technology advances, the world of wearables is expanding far beyond the wrist.

Imagine a ring that tracks your health without ever needing to be charged for days, glasses that display real-time directions as you walk, or earbuds that translate foreign languages instantly. These aren’t futuristic concepts—they’re happening now. In 2025, wearable tech is evolving to be more discreet, powerful, and seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a tech lover, or just someone who wants less screen time, the latest wearables might be exactly what you need.

Sonim XP3300 Force is the Toughest Phone in the Planet

August 15, 2023 by noemi

Are you the kind of klutz who is bound to drop his phone at least once within the first few weeks – not to mention the other times after that? Do you miss the sturdiness of the old Nokia and Motorola “brick” phones that used to be the cool mobile devices?

I do know I miss the sturdiness of those phones, but I cannot say that I miss the rest of the user experience. One thing is for sure – I have learned long ago to be very careful with the phones they roll out these days. It’s not like I can afford to replace a phone every few months!

If your lifestyle or job involves a lot of physical activity and high risk of losing grip of that mobile phone, though, you might want to consider the world’s toughest phone. I know we hear all about tough phones every day, but the Sonim XP3300 Force is officially the best one in its category. Ask the guys over at the Guinness World Records – they have tested the Sonim XP3300 Force themselves and deem it worthy to be called the toughest phone in the planet.

The 10 best same-device multiplayer games for the iPad

August 10, 2023 by Rico Mossegeld

iPad owners who keep to themselves aren’t maximizing the experience. With a relatively large 9.7″ screen and support for multi-touch, Apple’s tablet PC is also great for entertaining several people.

Here we feature 10 different iOS apps that will turn your iPad (or iPad 2) into the life of the party, courtesy of some fun two- or four-player multiplayer gameplay.

All the following apps support multiple players on the same device, so no online connection is necessary. You’ll only need one iPad to have fun with friends of family members, meaning even those who don’t have an iOS device (the iPhone, iPod touch, or the iPad) can still participate.

Monopoly for iPad ($9.99)

The star attraction of this modern version of the classic real-estate boardgame? Tabletop mode, where the game orients itself to the active player. It’s this feature alone—not to mention the faithful recreation of the Monopoly experience—that makes this game worth playing with up to three human or computer-controlled opponents.

Samsung Flexi Phone Concept

August 8, 2023 by noemi

If there is one thing that can be said about Samsung mobile phones, it is that they are rather sexy. These days, you would probably not chance upon a Samsung mobile phone that looks clunky. And while they may not have the appeal that the Apple iPhone has for many, Samsung phones can hold their own against most any other phone in the market.

Truth be told, if I were the type to have more than one mobile phone for every day use, I would have a Samsung Galaxy in my purse as well. And if this concept phone ever comes out, that might just be the case for me! [Read more…] about Samsung Flexi Phone Concept

Nokia Is NOT Dead – Or Is It?

August 2, 2023 by noemi

I still remember the days when owning a Nokia 5110 was the coolest thing ever. Then the Nokia 3210 came out – or it may have been another one of those models. All I know was that back then, Nokia kept spewing out mobile phones that every one wanted to get their hands own. In my part of the world, whether people admit it or not, having the “right” kind of mobile phone is a status symbol. Many years ago, it was a Nokia. Today, I am not entirely sure what the “right” kind of phone is, but I am pretty sure it is not a Nokia. ((Yes, yours truly has a several-years old Nokia.))

The fact is that it is common knowledge that Nokia is dead. Or is it common knowledge, really? Those in the western countries – the US in particular – may not even know much about the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer anymore, but apparently, Nokia is still king of the mobile world – the Asia-Pacific mobile world. Believe it or not, they have 40 percent (well, almost) of the market share in this region. Now that I think about it, I still do see lots of Nokias here. ((Oh yeah, I do own a Nokia, old as it may be.))

It does seem that, far from being dead, Nokia is very much alive and kicking. Does this mean that the next phone I get should be a Nokia or should I go ahead and finally get the iPhone? What phone are you using?
