Sony refutes suggestions that Mobile is up for sale
Sony outlined its three-year corporate strategy last month and with it a strong emphasis that the Mobile business was not a key growth factor. It also confirmed that it will “continue to explore potential alliances with other companies”. That brought a lot of eulogies for Sony Mobile from the media, talking about the end of ...

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs HTC One M9
Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 are two of the most interesting devices announced at Mobile World Congress. While you can’t miss with any of these two — both are top notch — we know that some folks “can’t live with a Samsung phone” or “just hate HTC.” Some man you just can’t reach.… ...
Movie Creator update (2.4.A.0.4) brings new icon, more video filters and portrait video support
Sony has given the Movie Creator application a big update moving it from build number 2.3.A.0.3 to version 2.4.A.0.4.

Samsung Gear VR for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge unveiled
Samsung has a new flagship device and it (obviously?) requires a pair of VR glasses of its own. The current Gear VR is made for the Galaxy Note 4, and while I’m sure you can make it work with the S6 – that won’t be the best setup ever. Simply put – the Note 4… ...
Nexus watch in works?
We’ve seen a Nexus phone, a Nexus tablet and a Nexus set-top box – it’s time for a Nexus smart watch. Let me start by adding that we don’t have any inside information; this article is a product of my imagination, but it does make sense. It’s time for Google to step-in and set standards… ...

Huawei may be Google’s next partner to make the Nexus tablet, according to one source from Chinese social network Weibo, and brought to our attention by the good folks of GizmoChina.

BlackBerry should extend its co-operation with Google
Google and BlackBerry are getting closer to each other. This is still far from a partnership the Mountain View-based company has with its Android vendors, and we’re not sure it’s even getting there. Instead, Google has teamed-up with BlackBerry — and few other companies for that matter — to bring Android to enterprises. As part… ...
