http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/41a621549d80018c9462a34a6c589957.png If you happen to have an iPhone 2G laying around, you might be sitting on a nice little payday, especially if you somehow never bothered to take it out of the box. Prices for the original grandaddy of Apple smartphones have steadily climbed over the years, but it's starting to get a little bit crazy. Continue reading...

These truly wireless $50 earbuds look so much better than Apple’s nonexistent AirPods
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 23 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a22c4f5ebf7d6be5774c2356ddd92172.jpg Apple’s AirPods are cool in principle, but the execution is a bit off. We love the idea and the easy pairing with Apple’s W1 wireless chip is very cool. On the flip side, they look absolutely ridiculous when you wear them thanks to those stems that hang out of your ears, and the high price is a bit prohibitive. Here’s another option: check out the AXGIO Dash Wireless Earbuds. These puppies look much better than the AirPods and they’re a fraction of the price. They also last for up to 8 hours of music playback on a charge, and they’re sweat-proof. Continue reading... Trending right now:…

After introducing the Mate 9 last month, Huawei is getting ready to enter the phone into new markets.

Fitbit CEO drops some details on the Pebble acquisition

It’s been a few days since the dust settled around the Fitbit/Pebble acquisition, and we were left with one less smartwatch manufacturer in the market. What we didn’t get out of the buyout, however, is what Fitbit was planning on doing with the assets that it acquired from the now-defunct Pebble.

SoundCloud takeover by Spotify is dead in the water

Spotify was fairly recently aiming to purchase SoundCloud, but it looks like those talks have fallen through and Spotify has backed out of the deal. There aren’t any concrete details about what derailed the plans, but it might have something to do with Spotify’s plans to go public next year. That’s also mostly speculation at […] Come comment on this article: SoundCloud takeover by Spotify is dead in the water Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6cd72fe4de7abcfd207d5c67263b558c._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Well, maybe not an actual jet engine, but at least a fan built using jet engine parts, like this one by Phighter Images, which sells all kinds of aviation parts that have been repurposed for the home.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6542994a0aa396f6a280538056daf721.jpg Ever since Niantic scrapped the original Nearby tracker, Pokemon Go players have been begging for the company to bring it back. There's no question that it had its flaws, but the Sightings system that replaced it was useless, and the new tracker only detects Pokemon within a certain range of nearby PokeStops. Although the latest tracker (which only recently rolled out beyond the San Francisco Bay Area) is better than nothing, it's a huge slap in the face for rural players who don't have any PokeStops in their area. Thankfully, on Friday, Niantic pushed out an update that should make ev…

The sun is a great source of energy, but it's just too far away. So, scientists have been working on a way to create an energy source like the sun, but here on the surface of our planet. Somehow, it's actually working. Continue reading... Trending right now: There’s an easy way to make your iPhone photos look so much better Best Buy is running a big two-…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db877df7ee623502ca287510febacbfa.jpg Nerds the world over were left weeping when Discovery's long-running Mythbusters franchise ended earlier this year. But as it's now accustomed to doing, Netflix has stepped into the void with a similar, less safe-for-work version of the science show. White Rabbit Project is legally the closest thing to Mythbusters that Netflix could pull off. The format of the show is nearly identical: there's myths and rumors that the team put to the test. The only real difference is the cast, as Jamie and Adam aren't returning. Instead, we get the Mythbusters build team of Tori, Grant and Kari goofing a…

At least, we thought it was unbeatable until Amazon knocked off $100 in a special limited-time sale.

They're some of the best cameras ever put on a phone, as you'd expect, and in the right hands (with the right lighting!) they produce DSLR-level results. But along with the new camera hardware, Apple also made a bunch of changes to the software in iOS 10, and you don't need a brand-new iPhone to make use of the best change. Continue reading...
