BBM-Voice-Android

BBM has been a huge success on Android and iOS, and so although they may be rival platforms, that won’t stop BlackBerry from porting over its biggest and best BBM features to keep its messaging service alive.

In 2014, the Canadian company will rollout major updates that add BBM Channels, BBM Voice, and new sharing features — and you can see them in action in the video below.

At that time the lion’s share of attention was directed toward their wireless Sync cans, which stream music via the somewhat uncommon Kleer technology. But that doesn’t mean the rest of SMS’s broad, diverse lineup should be ignored, and that assertion is well-supported by the performance — and, yes, dash of flash – of the wired, active noise-canceling Street by 50 ANC headphones.

Samsung GamePad

On Monday, Samsung announced the availability of its GamePad in select European markets, and now just a couple of days later, to coincide with the GamePads introduction to the public, the South Korean company has revealed that it will be launching a brand new “Game Edition” bundle of its Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (which will come complete with a GamePad unit in the box) in the not-too-distant future.
