M.androidcentral. iMCO is currently seeking funds on Indiegogo for CoWatch, a smartwatch built on the company's Chronological OS with Alexa integration. That's right, the company has built Alexa into the operating system so that you can get answers to questions, hail an Uber and more with just your voice. Ex-veterans of the Android team at Google are responsible for building the Chronological OS, which has built-in activity tracking and various customization options. As for the hardware, the CoWatch has a 400x400 Super AMOLED display which is said to be fracture-resistant, as well as a 1.2GHz processor and enough battery to get you through 32 hours of normal use. Early backers will be able to get their orders in for $159, and the company hopes to begin shipments in early-June. Following the campaign, you'll be able to purchase the CoWatch from the company's site for $279, so if you think you may be interested in purchasing one you should probably get in early.

The CoWatch excels at offering: STAR TREK Transporter Tabletop Lamp With Spock, Captain Kirk And McCoy. You Don't Need any Starfleet Training to Fly This Star Trek USS Enterprise Drone. Displio Is A Tiny E-Ink Display That Runs Programmable Widgets. I seem to be developing a penchant for these things. The Displio is the latest in a line of Internet-connected ‘displays’ designed to sit on a desk, or perhaps on a shop counter, and exhibit various online information, such as Facebook ‘Likes’, weather, number of unread email, and so on. However, although similar to the LaMetric, a fully-programmable but simple, ticker-style Internet-connected display, the Displio is considerably smaller, housing a 2.7 inch e-ink screen. Not only does this change the aesthetics considerably, and allows for a greater amount of information to be displayed, but e-ink’s lower power consumption — requiring power upon refresh only — means the Displio claims to be able to run on a single charge for up to a month.

It’s also testament to my long-held belief that the display technology has applications far beyond an e-reader, from desktop clock, smartwatch, to the backside of a mobile phone. “We wanted to make it easy to set up and use. Brigada Creativa Shop by BrigadaCreativa. Pressy review: The little 3.5mm plug that could. Many of us with Android devices have tasks we would like to accomplish without looking at our screens, but which may not have a dedicated or customizable hardware button (and some devices don't have any hardware buttons at all). Many of us also have headphone jacks on our devices we rarely (if ever) use, particularly given the vast number of Bluetooth audio solutions. If you're in both categories, Pressy, a new Android-only accessory originally funded through Kickstarter and now shipping (first to backers and pre-orders), may be exactly what you're looking for. Pressy looks like the metal end of a 3.5mm audio plug with a rubbery button attached to the top, and essentially that's what it is.

It fits snugly into an open headphone jack on your Android device, and the button end is small enough in diameter to work even with tightly fitted cases like the Otterbox Defender case I have on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was a Kickstarter backer for Pressy and love mine so far.
