Amazon debuts Black Friday 2016 tablet sales, 7
Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday 2016 tablet promotion, meaning that now is the time to get your hands on an affordable tablet. The prices range from $33 to $83 depending on the exact model and the bundled accessories. 


The entry-level 7" Amazon Fire Tablet is up for grabs at $33. That's $16.66 (33%) down compared to the usual retail price of $49.99. While the 7" Amazon Fire Tablet is definitely not a tablet that mobile hardware fans can get excited about, the slab does integrate the basic features that most customers need from a basic tablet. You won't be using the 7-inch Fire for any productivity tasks but the device is well-equipped for basic tasks such as light video consumption and web browsing.

Amazon Go is a grocery store that will let you skip check-out lines once and for all

Image
Grocery shopping certainly has gotten a lot easier over the years. Thanks to the ever-increasing power of mobile technology, we can now not only scan rewards cards on our phones and watches, but pay for our items with these devices as well. This is much better than having to mess with numerous plastic cards and physical cash, but things could still be better. No matter if you pay with a debit card or with your Apple Watch, you still have to wait in line to check out with your groceries. But what if you didn't have to wait in line? What if you could simply grab the items you needed from the grocery store, walk out without going through a check-out line, and instantly have them paid for? Amazon has created a grocery store to make this a reality, and they're calling it Amazon Go. Amazon Go is a physical grocery store that will be launching in Seattle, Washington in early 2017, and it's packing in some pretty impressive tech. Upon entering the Amazon Go stor...

Waterproof LG G6 to include wireless charging?

Image
LG's next flagship phone is expected to be called the LG G6. That is the easy part to figure out. What isn't so easy is figuring out what features will be included on the device. According to a report out of Korea published today, the LG G6 will be waterproof. One LG executive was quoted as saying that there is high demand for a waterproof handset in Japan because of the humid and rainy weather. The report adds that this will mean the end of replaceable batteries on LG's flagship phone, which in turn means the end of modular capabilities. Considering that LG was schooled by Lenovo/Motorola on that subject, dropping it might be considered a positive. And speaking of positives, the word is that LG will be using a more expensive waterproofing technique using adhesive rather than the cheaper tape employed by Samsung. While 3M makes the tape used by Samsung for its waterproof  handsets, companies such as Hitachi, Henkel and 3M are competing for the adhesives contract wit...

Pokemon GO still coming to the Apple Watch

Image
With rumors circulating that Pokemon GO for the Apple Watch had been scrapped, Niantic disseminated a tweet on Saturday saying that the popular game will be coming to Apple's timepiece soon. Depending on what Niantic means as soon, the promise it made to release the Pokemon GO app for the Apple Watch before the end of the year might be in peril. The Pokemon GO app for Apple Watch is designed to keep players from having to stare at their iPhone screen all day. It gives Pokemon trainers an idea of where they are in the game and alerts them when a Pokemon is nearby. It is supposed to have the same functionality as the Pokemon GO Plus accessory that can be purchased for $35. That device won't be shipped until next year. So there it is, directly from the game's developer. The green light is still on for the Apple Watch Pokemon GO app. If you hear rumors that the app has been canceled, ignore them. It is not true! Now, the only question is whether it will arrive t...
