Posted: 27 Feb 2014 03:52 AM PST

We mentioned that Huawei has released some new devices, and we already covered Huawei MediaPad X1, and we have another device from Huawei that we want to show you.



MediaPad M1 is the latest 8-inch tablet that comes from Huawei, and this device is powered by 1.6GHz quad-core processor. Additional specs include 8-inch display with 1280×920 resolution, 5-megapixel rear camera and a 1-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. There's a 4,800mAh battery available and as for the software, this device runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but we're hoping to see an update to a newer version. This device looks quite appealing, and in terms of design it looks like a iPhone or HTC One a bit. We also have to mention that this tablet comes with aluminum case and front-facing stereo speakers.

Huawei MediaPad M1 is an interesting tablet, but there's no information about the pricing so far. As for availability, we expect to see this tablet available in the UK someday in March.

Huawei MediaPad X1: Latest 7-inch device from Huawei

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 01:41 AM PST

Hauwei is well-known for its devices, and recently this company has announced several new mobile devices, so without further ado let's have a look at Huawei MediaPad X1.



Huawei MediaPad X1 comes with 7-inch Full HD display and with metal body, so it looks a bit "premium". Regarding the hardware, this device is powered by 1.6GHz quad-core processor and it comes with 13-Megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, 5-megapixel front camera for video calls and a microSD card slot for expansion. Huawei MediaPad X1 is 7.18mm thick and it is equipped with 5,000mAh battery that could last for few days according to Huawei. In terms of software, this device comes with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but we're hoping to see an upgrade soon enough.

Huawei MediaPad X1 sounds like a decent device, but it seems bit too large with its 7-inch screen for a smartphone. Currently there's no information about availability or pricing.

Scan your wrist and purchase with PulseWallet

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 10:01 PM PST

Payment methods have changed over the years, and at first we used cash, then came the credit cards and systems such as Google Wallet, and today we have a system that allows you to pay using your wrist.



PulseWallet is a new payment system that doesn't rely on credit cards, but instead it photographs veins located under the person's wrist for identification. Due to the unique patterns and complexity of one's veins, forgery is rather unlikely to happen. As for the technology, this payment system uses built-in palm scanning technology developed by Fujitsu called Palm Secure. Of course, in order to use PulseWallet you have to payment method linked to it, such as your credit card for example. Currently there are no retailers using this new payment technology, but that might change in the future.

PulseWallet system should be available for sale about now, but question remains whether this technology will be accepted and actually replace the current payment system.

OckCorp TEO padlock uses your smartphone as a key

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 10:00 PM PST

In order to protect our valuables there are all sorts of locks available, and speaking of locks, today we have a special padlock that works with your smartphone.



Padlocks are useful, but you need to have a special set of keys in order to unlock it, but OckCorp has developed an electronic padlock that can be locked or unlocked with your smartphone. TEO padlock pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth which means that you use your smartphone as a key, but you can also modify the permissions and allow other people to unlock TEO padlock for certain amounts of time. This can be useful if you want to allow your family members or your colleagues temporary access. In addition, you can monitor access history in order to prevent misuse. If you happen to run out of battery, you can easily pair your new phone, and if TEO padlock runs out of battery there's a special technology that will allow you to "jump start" the lock.

OckCorp TEO padlock sounds great, but so far, it's just a Kickstarter project, but if it reaches its funding goal we might see it available for sale in near future.
