LG Announce Their New Luxury All-Metal Smartwatch, The LG Watch Urbane
Back in October of last year, LG launched their first round smartwatch, the LG G Watch R. This marked their first entry into the ’round watch’ arena and seemed to have been the start of what is to come, as LG have today announced their next round smartwatch which is going by the name the ‘LG Watch Urbane’.
The first rendition, The LG G Watch R did appear much more of an outdoors type watch and as such it might not come as too much of a surprise to learn that this is where the new Urbane watch will differentiate itself from its predecessor. Unlike the G Watch R, the Urbane is designed to be much more of a luxury looking watch. The first most notable feature is that the Urbane will be an all metal smartwatch. In terms of its purpose and according to the LG press announcement “As its name suggests, the smartwatch is designed for a sophisticated and cosmopolitan wearer that delivers unparalleled technology and performance. LG Watch Urbane is the perfect device for wearers looking to add both style and high-tech flare to their everyday lives.” In terms of the actual specs, the Urbane will come with a 1.3-inch P-OLED display with a 320 x 320 resolution (245ppi). Inside, the Urbane will be equipped with 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor (clocking at 1.2GHz). The Urbane will also come with a bunch of sensors including a Gyro/Accelerometer/Compass, Barometer and Heart Rate Sensor and will be both dust and water resistant. Urbane will be powered by a 410 mAh battery and running on Android Wear. In terms of size, Urbane will be 45.5 x 52.2 x 10.9mm and will be available in both a Gold and Silver color.
In terms of when, the announcement states that Urbane to be officially unveiled at this year’s MWC in March. So only a couple of weeks away. In spite of LG announcing the smartwatch, there were no firm details on price and as such those details will follow in due course. Either way, it does seem LG are going for a much more upmarket offering this time around. The all-metal smartwatch consisting of a gold or silver color and leather strap. As such it will be interesting to see at what price this items comes in at. What do you think of the new look LG smartwatch?

AH Tech Talk: Is China Enforcing New Laws On Foreign Tech Firms, Security or Trade Barriers?
Next month China plans to implement new laws regarding all foreign technology firms who wish to do business in their country. While an official declaration from Beijing symbolized their wishes to allow a free market and economy, newly announced regulations would say otherwise. These mandate that foreign companies must submit source code for their products in their entirety to the Chinese Government as well as undergo regular audits. Furthermore, businesses selling in the Chinese market must include open back doors for the Chinese government to have ability to gain full access to products.
Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Robert Holleyman of the Obama Administration publicly denounced the proposed regulations from China as blatant trade barriers to the market. High level officials in trade and the cabinet have reached out to Chinese counterparts in hopes of getting the regulations placed on hold. China Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying commented on the concerns stating that as long as companies respected their local laws there would be no further restrictions. The fact that companies must allow back doors into their products for the Chinese government is at least understandable from a security perspective. The complete submission of all source code on the other hand raises concerns of security for foreign countries, especially the U.S. with several cyber security concerns involving the mentioned country. Possessing the source code for foreign products and services raises ethics concerns, the security implications for the U.S. could prove costly.
Some business, desperate to dip into the massive Chinese market have already subdued to the Chinese governments’ requests, most notably Apple. With Apple’s recent ventures into the Chinese market they posted record profits of $18 billion last month. While many foreign businesses and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce object to these rules completely, other businesses will likely deal with the requirements in an attempt to capture the market. There is a possibility that concerns taken up with the World Trade Organization could illicit an official response or change to the proposed regulations. The World Trade Organization is in place to protect corporations specifically against things such as tariffs and other trade barriers. While the World Trade Organization is not perfect in all its policies, hopefully some compromise can be met to ease the burden on companies looking towards China to increase profits.

Android Headliner: What’s The Reason For Google’s OEM Partners Developing Their Own Smartwatch OS?
In the world of smartwatches there are an increasing size of OS types and available options, but when it comes to Google’s OEM partners one would think that things would stay as close to Android as possible. Samsung began their smartwatch offerings with the Galaxy Gear, which initially ran Android, but was then later updated to be more in line with their new offerings running Tizen, the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo. Since then they have also released the Gear Live, which runs Android Wear, and the Gear S which runs Tizen. It seems Samsung is more focused on releasing Tizen based smartwatches to better work with their range of devices. Samsung isn’t the only OEM partner rumored to be launching a smartwatch that isn’t running Google’s Android Wear though, as both LG and HTC have been rumored to release smartwatches running a completely different OS of their own design.
What are the reasons for this when Android Wear is likely going to be the more popular choice when it comes to extending the experience of our Android smartphones? When it comes to any product we buy, choice always benefits the consumers so having multiple options in addition to Android Wear will be a good thing, as competition will foster innovation and force Google as well as the OEM’s releasing their own OS options to make things even better. Why so soon after releasing their second Android Wear enabled device would LG look to launch a smartwatch running on a different OS though? Keep in mind that this is just a rumor but are they looking to separate their smartwatches from Android as Samsung has seemingly done? When thinking about LG, it makes a little bit of sense for them to look into another avenue for a smartwatch OS, possibly WebOS based, as their smart products including their Smart TVs now run some form of WebOS technology, so in this regard perhaps it could be a way for them to offer a smartwatch that is compatible with their connected products with features their two Android Wear smartwatches don’t currently have the capability to do.
What about HTC though? It’s been said that they would not be releasing a smartwatch any time soon but rumors have been floating around that they would be looking to launch a smartwatch running on their own OS. Since HTC doesn’t have any devices or products running on their own in-house OS, what could HTC’s angle be if they decide to release a smartwatch that isn’t running Android Wear? Are they looking to ditch Google for any reason? Will there be any more OEM’s looking to develop their own smartwatch OS in house instead of continuing to develop Android Wear based devices?

Featured Review: Inateck BTSP 10 Bluetooth Speaker
When it comes to Bluetooth portable speakers, there’s a definite compromise between portability, sound quality and volume. Larger speakers have the advantage when it comes to sound quality and volume but are less portable. Smaller speakers are much easier to carry around but often don’t sound as pleasing to the ear. What we’ve been seeing in the last couple of years is how even the smaller speakers are sounding better and better, plus components are becoming more and more efficient. The result is good sounding speakers with longer battery life and better sound quality than before; and so enter the Inateck BTSP 10 Bluetooth Speaker, complete with dual speakers built into the compact chassis.
The BTSP 10 has been designed to be portable. It comes with a carry case to stop the device from getting marked or scuffed – although the speaker has a rubbery, high-grip feel and the speaker is very well built. It’s about the size of my 8oz insulated coffee flask and it’s rumored that I can get three of those into my satchel! Battery life is quoted as being between five to eight hours; in my experience it was closer to eight hours but I had the speaker at a modest volume. In an ideal world, you can wirelessly stream music to the speaker via Bluetooth although Inateck include a 3.5mm port and a cable if you would like to go wired. I tested this to see how well it works (and it’s works well) but I didn’t see if there was any difference to battery life when used in wired range. I also couldn’t tell any difference in the sound quality when I tried this but bear in mind that my hearing isn’t brilliant and I wasn’t testing the speaker in a quiet environment.
When it comes to wireless streaming, Inateck quote a thirty foot range and this depends on what else is in the way. Pairing is as easy as holding down the Bluetooth button for a few seconds and searching for the speaker using your device’s Bluetooth menu – there’s no NFC on this speaker. I tested the speaker with a total of seven devices (what can I say, I collect them…) including Android and Windows tablets, plus Android smartphones: switching between the devices was as easy as manually disconnecting from one device and selecting it in another.
Sound quality is clear and crisp. As expected, compared with some of the larger, less portable speakers, the BTSP 10 lacks depth of bass. For those environments where there is a lot of bass noise clutter such as my office, at a moderate volume this type of speaker is perfect because it’s easy to hear lyrics without being an annoyance to colleagues around you.
However, the Inateck has a secret weapon and one that has caused me to test out that carry pouch and coffee flask size every day since I bought it: the speaker has a built-in microphone and the crisp, clear audio makes it a superb speakerphone. It’s easy to hear the caller and sound quality at the other side was reported at being okay. Callers said that they could tell I was on a speakerphone but could still hear me. I’m a fan of using wireless speakers for music and calls when I’m working because it means I don’t have to completely stop what I’m doing by holding my device as I talk.
I’ve come away impressed with the BTSP 10 Bluetooth Speaker. It sounds good, it’s perfectly suited to offices and it’s highly portable. But it’s the speakerphone functionality that most impressed me the most. Inateck have recently dropped the price to £44.95 and it’s available at from Amazon plus other resellers; you can check out the Inateck website here for more information.

Samsung Loses $16 Million Bluetooth EDR Patent Case To Patent Investment Company
I live and work in York, England, the United Kingdom. The first, original and therefore best York in the world; so named from the Vikings, who called the city Yorvik. And as it happens, the Vikings left many marks on today’s civilisation including the short range, personal area network technology we all call Bluetooth. They didn’t invent it (that was Ericsson in 1994) but it was named after King Harald Bluetooth, who united Scandinavia under his rule. The idea behind the Bluetooth radio technology is that it could be used as a communications standard between disparate operating systems and device types, from PDAs (personal digital assistants), cell ‘phones and computers.
Bluetooth is also at the centre of a patent infringement case that has recently been concluded between Samsung and Rembrandt Wireless Technologies, a patent investment company. The case concerns a “system and method of communication using at least two modulation methods” and Rembrandt explained that Samsung selling devices with Bluetooth EDR technology (enhanced data rate) onboard is the infringement. EDR was introduced as an optional part of the Bluetooth 2.0 standard, released just over ten years ago in 2004. EDR increases the data transfer rate to a theoretical 3 Mbit/s (although usually the transfer rate barely exceeds 2 Mbit/s). It is claimed that EDR can can reduce Bluetooth radio power consumption by reducing the duty cycle, but Samsung’s lawyers appeared to claim that this is not necessarily the case. Their attorney, Jeffrey Sherwood, explained that Samsung’s Bluetooth implementation did not meet the of a change in modulation and that Rembrandt did not meet every element of the claim. “That means there is no infringement and there’s no liability.” He continued. When asked about Rembrandt’s $30 million claim he said, “There’s value in features, but they’re just not worth thirty million dollars. EDR didn’t solve customers’ complaints to battery life. It wasn’t the solve all. These patents are not worth $30 million.”
It appears Samsung have been the victim of a patent troll: in a statement, Samsung said that “…(approximately) 24,000 companies believe Bluetooth technology should be shared for free. Obviously, Rembrandt is not a part of that, and they’re taking advantage of that.” The co-counsel for Rembrandt said, “It’s not easy to file a patent case against the biggest electronics company in the world.” It appears that Rembrandt used an expert witness to go through the Bluetooth standard line by line, taking over two hours.
Patents appear to be a necessary evil in mobile technology, and indeed almost every sector. I have to ask if Rembrandt is now going to pursue other companies, big and small, that have been using EDR. And whilst $15.7 million is a lot of money, in the context of Samsung it is a relatively small sum. However, here it is the principle rather than the sum of money involved.

All Access May End Up Receiving A Name Change To Google Play Music Unlimited
Google Play Music All Access is a fine service, especially now that in addition to the limitless amounts of streaming music without having to buy most albums available on Google Play, users have access to stream unlimited amounts of YouTube music videos through YouTube Music Key. Fancy yourself a randomized set of songs? I’m Felling Lucky Radio can help with that. There are lots of great features to Google Play Music All Access but one thing that surely would be a welcomed change would be the name for the service itself. All Access does indeed make sense, as users have all the access to the music Google Play has to offer. It doesn’t exactly put it out there for new users though that listening is unlimited, even if that is the logical thing to consider.
Google may be looking at giving its streaming music a name change in the future, as some users have been reporting that their recurring charge emails for All Access have been referred to as Google Play Music Unlimited, a name slightly more fitting of what it offers. While this is not confirmed, should this happen it would give potential users a better understanding that subscribing to the service would allow them to stream unlimited amounts of music from the thousands of artists listed on Google Play.
The name, if changed, would still keep the “Google Play” tag at the beginning of the name since this is Google’s way of streamlining all their services under a single brand name, like Play Store, Play Books, Play Movies etc. Whether Google is simply referring to All Access as Play Music Unlimited for their own benefit or if they have plans to alter the name to this as a new title is uncertain as of yet, but the change would make better sense than the name they have already given it since its release. So far all we’ve seen in regards to this new title resides in the automated emails that users receive from Google when their service renews and payment is made to continue subscribing. Do you think Google Play Music Unlimited is a better name or should Google stick with All Access?

Top 10 Android News Stories This Past Week: Feb. 15th
Lots has happened this week as we move towards Mobile World Congress 2015, some of it that could be considered in direct relation to the conference as we saw some news revolving around the Samsung Galaxy S6, the follow up flagship device to last year’s Galaxy S5 which is expected to get an unveiling at MWC during Samsung’s Unpacked event on March 1st. The latest rumors are looking at the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge being manufactured with all metal bodies, as opposed to a metal frame only like found on the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge released in the Fall. The latest on the Galaxy S6 camera is pointing to a 20MP rear camera sensor, which could be quite a step above any previous cameras on the Galaxy series devices. Could Samsung finally be taking smartphone cameras more seriously? It isn’t all about the Galaxy S6 this past week though, as we saw some renders and rumors in regards to the next HTC flagship as well, the possible HTC One M9, which suggest a much sleeker design than both previous handsets in the lineup, and the possibility of much smaller bezels which has been a pain point of the design on the HTC One M8 and the original HTC One M7.
We also saw a rumor about a possible upcoming successor to the Google Chromebook Pixel which was codenamed “Link” internally. This new potential Chromebook Pixel 2 could hold the internal codename “Samus.” For users of Google Talk, it seems you’ll no longer have access to the desktop interface as Google plans to roll Google Talk users into Hangouts by Monday, February 16th. There were also little bits of information regarding Lollipop updates, as the Xperia Z3 could be looking at a possible March release to users according to Rogers, and the Galaxy Note 4(model SM-N910F) and the Galaxy Note 3(model SM-N9005) are already starting to see the OTA. Check out the links below for a couple of other big news stories from the week.
