Only 50,000 Galaxy Gear Smartwatches sold!

Ruh Roh Samsung!

The Galaxy Gear, Samsung’s wearable tech effort has only sold around 50,000 units according to a report from BusinessKorea.

Launched a short time ago in September, the watch has not been received well by critics, or as it turns out, by buyers. It costs $299, it is not standalone, and this is what it looks like:

Samsung were (/are?) impressed with themselves for getting their version of wearable tech in watch form out first. Especially when the perception is that Apple usually play the role of tech innovators. This was their turn to create history with a first, but should they have waited?

The people say …mmmmmmmyeahprobably.

The customer and critical reviews of the Galaxy gear have mentioned that it is too bulky, it doesn’t sync with all of their smart-phones, and the battery life, at one day, is nowhere near good enough.

Apple is among other tech giants said to be working hard on their own version, named in the press the iWatch. A standalone gadget, it is said that a huge priority for the company is in trying to make the battery last at least four days and have a design aesthetic that will make people who don’t wear a watch currently, want to wear the iWatch.

So, kinda sucks for Samsung. But you know what this means, don’t you guys?

This can only be a fantastic thing for us, the consumers. Wearable tech, in this case specifically watches can and will only get better from here.

And if you were one  of the 50,000 peeps who bought the Galaxy Gear, kudos to you! If things continue in the same vein, now you’re the proud owner of some rare tech. Rare tech is good for the wallet!

The first guy to break his 5S

We just received our first iPhone 5S!  And it was, drumroll please:

Cracked!

Even though the guy at first was like:

We gave him $$$ CASHMONEY and turned that frown upside down!

Apparently, our lovely 5S customer was using his brand new shiny iPhone 5S in a crowded area, someone came running by and hit him in the shoulder and the shiny 5S went flying ever so prettily before smacking itself onto concrete. And there you have it- a cracked screen.

In his own words, just a bit of bad luck.

But good luck that he had heard of iPhone Antidote! Yay!

If you have an unlucky cracked or broken iPhone, or a stinky old used iPhone, go to iPhone Antidote right now!

We’ll give you CASHMONEY for those unlucky, stinky old iPhones and turn you from grumpy cat into happy, baller cat in one of the easiest, stress free transactions you’ll ever experience!

New products coming in 2014!

GUYS GUYS GUYS!

There are still more products coming our way right from the magical world of the Apple production line! Next year! That’s like only a few tomorrows away!

A couple of days ago Tim Cook confirmed to members of the press, that Apple is definitely planning on introducing new product categories in 2014. Categories baby! That’s like, things we’ve never seen before. Woop.

According to Cook, Apple believes that it can use its skills building software, hardware, and services to create “great products” in categories that Apple does not participate in today. “We’re pretty confident about that,” said Cook.

Woop!

Things to look forward to  (probably) include the iWatch, the iTV and a little baby unicorn that makes all your dreams come true.

Probably.

New Macbook Pro With Retina Display

We now have a brand new MacBook Pro with Retina Display in 13 inch and 15 inch options! Yay! Soon, they’ll most likely just become the new MacBook Pro, but for now they get to keep their extra long fancy name as the 13 inch MacBook pro is still available to buy.

So, the Retina Display, huh? What’s so good about that that has something to do with eyes? Well, this is straight from the Apple’s mouth:

“When you pack so many pixels into a display — over 4 million on the 13‑inch model and over 5 million on the 15‑inch model — the results are positively stunning.

The pixel density is so high, your eyes can’t discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism. A spectacular 2560-by-1600 resolution on the 13‑inch MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880-by-1800 resolution on the 15‑inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. ”

And here’s the thing- a whole lot of people agree with them. The Retina display is beautiful and wonderful.

Ok, so the upgraded machine has the stupidly good Retina Display, yes, but it has also been updated with the latest of processors from Intel. The 15 inch Pro now has a Crystal Well processor and the 13 inch the Haswell. Double Rainbow Yay!

According to our friend Philip Schiller,

“We’ve made the world’s best pro notebook even better by adding more performance and even longer battery life. MacBook Pro with Retina display continues to redefine the pro notebook.”

The battery life on the 13-inch will last up to 9 hours, whilst the battery life on the 15-inch will last up to 8 hours. That’s really impressive for the performance and display the machine offers.

The 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro features quad-core Intel Core i7 processors up to 2.6Ghz (via add-on), with Intel’s Iris Pro 5200 Integrated Graphics. A GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics card with 2GB of video memory can also be added on.

In addition to improved Intel chips, the new MacBooks feature 802.11ac “Gigabit” Wi-Fi compatibility, which offers speeds up to three times as fast as existing 802.11n wireless networks. They have also gained dual Thunderbolt 2 ports and PCIe flash storage, which pushes peak read/write performance to nearly 800 MB/s, a 45 percent improvement over previous generation technology.

Ummm..

That means it’s going to be faster, more powerful, have better graphics and better Wi-Fi capabilities.  That stuff is cool.

The shiny new MacBook Pros are available right now! And cheaper than a lot for people thought! Triple Rainbow Yay!

• 13‑inch now starting at $1299
• 15‑inch now starting at $1999

What do you guys think, shiny new Christmas MacBooks all around this year?
