Walkie talkies are definitely a little dated compared to a new smartphone, but there’s no denying they had some very useful situations where a smartphone just isn’t as good. When you’re out hiking, for example, you need to be able to just push and talk to someone and not have to worry about dialing a […] Come comment on this article: Linc is a Moto Mod that turns your phone into a walkie talkie Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

As of this morning, all four major wireless carriers offer data plans described as "unlimited" to all their customers. But while I'm reluctantly willing to describe the Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint plans as unlimited (despite some restrictions), AT&T's plan could better be described as a "22GB data plan but you can't actually use that data to watch pretty videos or do work on your laptop" plan. Admittedly, it's not such a catchy description, but it does have the alternative benefit of being true. Continue reading...

In what is widely regarded as the biggest, albeit accidental, product leaks in tech history, an Apple engineer in 2010 went out for a few drinks and accidentally left a pre-release version of the iPhone 4 behind at a bar. Famously, the device -- which was cloaked in a special case designed to look like the iPhone 3GS -- ultimately ended up on the front page of Gizmodo for the collective eyes of the tech world to see.

In the post-election scramble to work out how a mid-level reality TV personality won the presidency, the name of one data analytics firm came to light. Cambridge Analytica is a firm that supposedly used "sophisticated psychological tools" to hone Trump's message and spread it to the most vulnerable voters. But according to a new report from Buzzfeed, it may all have been a sham. Sources variously described things as "a lie," "total rubbish," or straight-up "snake oil." Continue reading...

Samsung’s next big thing is just around the corner. Unlike in previous years, the brand new Galaxy flagship's job won’t solely be to fight off Apple’s incoming iPhone. Instead, the Galaxy S8 will also have to regain the trust of customers following the massive Galaxy Note 7 battery scandal. The Galaxy S8 will have the unfortunate role of being the first phone to launch after the combustible phablet, and Samsung is looking to make sure it won’t run into similar battery problems. A new report indicates that Samsung is tapping a third battery maker for the Galaxy S8, which is one more step Samsung is taking to ensure the new phone will be safe for consumers. Continu…

It’s been a tough week for Trump’s camp, and the president's solo press conference on Thursday did not help. According to Trump, the dishonest media is still unfair, and anything having to do with Russia is fake news — that's on top of all the reports that criticize Trump, which are also fake news. You know things have gotten bad for Trump when even Fox News criticizes his remarks. But the most intriguing anti-Trump opinion this week came from an elected official, Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI), who took the House floor on Thursday to liken Trump’s administration to Netflix’s SAG-winning show Stranger Things.

After T-Mobile began offering its own unlimited data plan, we all knew the other carriers would soon follow. Now, after Verizon gave in, and T-Mobile responded to Verizon, Sprint is revamping how it offers its own unlimited data plan, too. Sprint is bent on offering the “nations’s best price” as well.

Ever since we learned that the titled of the next Star Wars installment is "The Last Jedi," there's been constant debate about who the last Jedi actually is. Does that refer to the old man standing oddly still on top of the rock, or his soon-to-be protegé Rey? Or, could Finn have a part to play here? As it turns out, we've been thinking about it all wrong, and it's the fault of the English language. Foreign-language posters in German, French and Spanish -- languages that actually differentiate between singular and plural -- have shown that the title is "The Last Jedi," and Jedi is plural.

The main battle in the smartphone market will be fought between the Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 8 this year. The two flagship handsets will have various things in common including higher price tags than you might expect. After reports from a few weeks ago said the Galaxy S8 will be more expensive than the Galaxy S7, suggesting the phone might be more expensive than Apple’s cheapest next-gen iPhone, a separate report came out saying that Apple’s redesigned iPhone 8 will be priced north of $1,000 (though the iPhone 7s is still expected to start at $649). But now, a new rumor indicates that the Galaxy S8 might actually manage to top Apple’s price for the iPhone 8, albeit barely…

Home Wi-Fi solutions keep getting better and better, and the latest trend in home internet is mesh networking kits. These next-generation router and extender combinations provide much better coverage with fewer dead spots, but they're also very expensive compared to conventional routers. What's more, even the best mesh solution will never be as fast or consistent as a wired internet connection. The idea of wiring your house and installing Ethernet ports is daunting, right? Wrong. Your house is already wired for Ethernet and you just didn't know it. Pick up a powerline networking kit like the TP-Link AV500 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit and your standard wall outlet…

They say everything old will eventually be new again, and as of this week, all four major wireless carriers are once again offering "unlimited" data plans to their subscribers. AT&T was the last carrier to jump on board, sort of — the carrier has actually offered unlimited data for a while now, but that plan had previously only been available to customers who also subscribed to AT&T's DirecTV satellite television service. Now it's available to everyone, which means anyone can now get an unlimited data plan from any of the nation's top four wireless carriers. But, are these new "unlimited" plans truly unlimited?

One of Apple’s upcoming 2017 iPhones will be unlike anything we’ve ever seen in an iPhone. The iPhone 8 will have a brand new design featuring a large, nearly bezel-less OLED screen. This particular design choice will force Apple to rethink various elements that you’re used to finding on the front side of the iPhone, including the home button and its embedded Touch ID fingerprint sensor, the front-facing camera, the speaker, and the other sensors. A new report indicates that the Touch ID sensor might be going away, as Apple is looking to replace fingerprint-sensing technology with a 3D laser-based facial recognition method for unlocking the phone. This claim might be c…

Amazon's Echo Dot is the smallest and most affordable Alexa speaker in Amazon's arsenal, but it has one main problem: like the much larger Amazon Echo, the Dot needs to be plugged into the wall so you can't move it around your house easily.
