For the first time, Samsung has split its flagship Galaxy S line into two distinct models. There is the regular flat version following in the footsteps of its predecessors, and the Edge, which curves on both sides for unique functionality. Under the hood, there is little that sets these two apart, so your choice is going to be mostly about which look you prefer.

Vehicles aren’t just becoming roving WiFi hot spots, they’re becoming connected devices that eventually will be part of the Internet of Things, the growing trend of objects that interact with each other over the Internet.

The new TomTom GO Mobile app is a rebrand for Android, and done in a way that is easy for both loyalists and newcomers. To entice drivers to give it a try on the road, its premium features are free to use for up to 75km of driving per month.

Just like your laptop or cell phone, a smart TV is potentially a portal into your most private spaces, and an easy target for any ne’er-do-well with the inclination of hacking into your home… or even the companies that build them.

BMW's ConnectedDrive infotainment system has gone through a number of iterative changes — some good, others forgettable — over the last few years in a bid to better integrate smartphones. With 2016 models rolling out this year, is the current version good enough to break out ahead of the pack?

Canadians who have long detested the way in which providers bundle channels and charge high prices for them could see major changes, now that the CRTC has begun untangling the web that has kept it all together.

It would be too extreme to classify the Galaxy S6 as a “savior” — Samsung isn’t in dire straits — but its importance to the company’s brand can’t be underestimated. This phone needs to be a winner. And so it’s been designed to make a statement: to instill confidence in loyal users and prove naysayers wrong.

Music streaming services have been credited with reducing piracy, except the way in which they distribute royalties seems to be far from equitable. The technology around music distribution has changed forever, but numbers show record labels benefitting more than artists are.

Class action litigation leading to a settlement of $80 million from DRAM (dynamic random access memory) manufacturers is now open to all claims in Canada, where filling out a simple form should be enough to get the minimum $20.

Small portable speakers are fast becoming a crowded bunch, and with ‘me too!’ multi-room sound systems coming to market in droves this year, sorting through them is getting increasingly difficult. Mass Fidelity, a startup from Toronto, Canada, figures it can cut through the clutter and by offering a Bluetooth speaker that’s nimble enough to fit in a duffle bag, yet loud enough to keep a dance floor packed and partying.

First a TV, and now a car. The rumour mill revolves around the Apple logo like a ball on a roulette table, landing on one possible idea to another. As tempting as it may sound that Apple is exploring the concept of entering the automotive industry, it is likely aiming to do so without having to actually design or build an actual vehicle.

Smartwatches are blooming, but they aren’t always pretty. They may turn a few heads, but they’re still poor fashion statements. Neptune, a startup based in Montreal, Canada, did not impress us with its titanic Pine smartwatch, but the company isn’t done. It’s unveiling not just a new product, but also a paradigm shift in what the watch should be. The new Neptune Duo is a smartwatch that’s actually two devices.

The new Sling TV live television streaming service introduced by Dish Network in the U.S. a month ago isn’t available in Canada, but if successful, it may gain enough traction to force providers here to rethink their current strategies.

The long reach of wearable technology is set to reach out this year and tap into the well-being of young children, and even babies, with trackers and sensors that will assess their health and wellness.

Trace hasn’t yet made an impact, but the fledgling startup is looking to come to market with a drone that follows you on its own to make you the star of your own videos.

Streaming media is no longer the exception, but the rule for many households in Canada, and there are now a number of ways in which to do that.

It’s not uncommon for a beleaguered company to go back to its roots to reorient itself, and no product exemplifies that paradigm better than the Blackberry Classic. This is vintage stuff, harkening back to an era where QWERTY keyboards were the norm and the tech world zealously got high on Crackberry handsets, thumbs flapping away.

Everyone wants to make some kind of fitness or activity tracker these days, and since wristbands are an easy target, we tend to see a lot of them. As music fans, we tend to prefer Jabra’s take: Why not fold fitness tracking into a device you’d probably already be wearing when exercising?

As uncertain as BlackBerry’s fortunes have been, the company seems to have a shining light in the form of QNX, announced at CES as the world’s leading infotainment software supplier in over 50 million vehicles.
