http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b914ba161ddf94a9291fed7c11417d1c.jpg Who says a fitness tracker has to be a boring band that does precious little beyond monitoring your movement and counting your steps? The Samsung Gear Fit 2 does everything a conventional fitness tracker can do and so much more. In fact, it's basically a smartwatch stuffed into the form factor of a conventional fitness tracker. It can monitor your steps, measure your heart rate, track your runs accurately thanks to built-in GPS, automatically record your workouts, display all your smartphone notifications, and so much more. And right now, it's on sale on Amazon for 10% off. (more…) …

The company’s hotel brand Aloft in recent weeks started trialing voice-activated hotel rooms in its Boston Seaport and Santa Clara properties. The service, currently enabled in 10 rooms at each property, includes guests being greeted by a personalized welcome letter on the in-room TV when they check in. They quickly learn that a branded iPad is ready to be set up with a “Hey …

Details are scarce, but from what we can work out, it could be a new Apple TV set for release. The device has the model number A1844, which is not currently in use by any Apple device.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/633eadb83ff3e6c7d3bc619e26ada8f7.jpg An iPhone trapped in the past, or a glimpse of Apple's future? When I reviewed Apple’s iPhone 6 two years ago, I wrote about how different reviewing an iPhone is compared to reviewing any other smartphone — or any other product at all, for that matter. A reviewer’s job is generally to present an overview of a product’s user experience, as well as to discuss strengths and shortcomings. The goal in doing this is to assist the reader in making a purchase decision. But with iPhones, this hasn’t been the case since the first-generation model. Either someone is going to buy an iPhone or he or s…

Samsung said in a statement released to the press that it exchanged “about half of all recalled Galaxy Note 7 phones” sold in the US. That’s “about” 500,000 units. However, that still leaves at least as many phones in the wild, and they’re all potential fire hazards.

The company has brought in half a million replacement units to the US, and other markets are also receiving the safe Galaxy Note 7 versions as we speak. But Samsung won’t stop until all the damaged devices are replaced. If you’re still oblivious to the problem, Samsung won’t let you sit idly by with a fire hazard in your pocket.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b408b19099c78824af208f7922029d90.jpgThe eighth episode of the Star Wars saga is just over one year away and principal photography for the movie has concluded, but there’s still plenty of work left for the film, including shooting some of the characters. Yes, Maz Kanata has yet to make her appearance, as Lupita N’yongo has not shot her stop motion photography — and that’s not necessarily a spoiler. However, there is one fresh Episode VIII spoiler you should be aware of, mainly because it doesn’t spoil the actual plot: We’re going to see more Leia in this one.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1b3026556f6f593addbef715b94ef709.jpgEngineers at the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey are developing an ambidextrous multi-purpose hand grenade, which is the military’s first new lethal hand grenade in more than 40 years. The Enhanced Tactical Multi-Purpose (ET-MP) grenade will let soldiers set the grenade to fragmentation or concussive effect with the flip of a switch. The weapon is also designed for ambidextrous use so it can be both armed and thrown easily with either hand. Current grenades require a different arming procedure for left-handed users, according to the Army. (more…) Trending right now: Last …

Silver lining: Not every exploding Galaxy Note 7 actually exploded

They say that all press is good press, but I'm willing to bet that Samsung would beg to differ. The whole exploding Galaxy Note 7 scandal has been nothing short of a catastrophe for the South Korean company, but there is a silver lining.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/54657ca8605a396044b059f5624d9e35.jpgDonald Trump loves boasting about how wealthy he is, yet the Presidential candidate steadfastly refuses to release his tax returns. Over the past few months, the reasons why Trump has declined to make his tax returns public have been all over the map. Sometimes he'll bring up something involving an audit and other times he'll simply say he doesn't have or want to. Looking to have a little bit of fun with Trump's waffling, the folks over at Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday took to the streets and told any Trump supporter they could find that Trump had, at long last, released his tax returns.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1796a0b5bdcce78a4cb8d57c08303d72.jpgCome early October, Google will launch its 2016 flagship phones: these are HTC-made, Pixel-branded premium smartphones that will run a customized version of Android and cost you quite a bit more than you're used to spending for a Google phone. They’ll also look very much like an iPhone 7, at least the front side — not that it’s a bad thing at this point. While many of the specs and features of the Pixel and Pixel XL are already known, a new report says the phones won’t be able to handle water spills very well at all.
