On Tuesday, regulators at the US Federal Communications Commission voted to open up white spaces, the unused portion of the spectrum from 512MHz to 698MHz assigned to broadcast TV. Dell, HP and Google were among the companies that fought to open up the white spaces, which will provide an additional broadband option for users, especially in rural areas. Proponents say the TV spectrum can carry broadband signals significantly further than Wi-Fi, and that opening up the spectrum will help expand the market for new smartphone-like devices....

Though the overall design and appearance of the Galaxy S9 are the same as the S8’s, it’s no less attractive or impressive to look at. The Galaxy S9 has some incredible specs which include 5.8 inches of Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 1440 x 2960 pixels of resolution. It even has a polished aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front and back. Also, it is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance which is pretty cool....

That’s because your iCloud photos are all synced between all your devices if the option is turned on in the device’s settings. iCloud is not available for Android, Chrome OS, or Linux though. If you plan on leaving the Apple ecosystem, you’ll want to get rid of iCloud as well because it doesn’t play as nice with other platforms. That means you’ll want to download all your photos from iCloud to another device....

In common with both the EC Tech models, this EasyAcc power bank has one USB output rated at 10.5W and another at 5W. Both are universal ports and can be used with any device that charges via USB, but EasyAcc recommends that iPad users make use of the faster port, while Samsung Galaxy Tab owners use the slower one. Despite its 5W rating, this latter port is able to smart-charge Samsung’s tablets, turbo boosting from its standard 1A to 1....

Epson changed the business model for inkjet printers last year when it introduced its first Ecotank model. For decades, printer manufacturers have tempted us in by selling their printers at attractively low prices – and then making a killing with the high cost of their replacement ink cartridges. In contrast, Epson’s Ecotank range cost a lot more than conventional inket printers, but they do away with conventional ink cartridges and replace them with large, refillable ink tanks that offer a much lower cost per page over the lifetime of the printer....

It’s designed for kids age six and older, and is available with styles that will appeal to both younger and older children. How much does the Ace 2 cost? It’s cheaper than the Ace, but it’s still near the top end of what you might expect to pay for a kids’ fitness band at £69.99 / $69.99. Garmin’s Vivofit Jr 2 is a little more expensive at £79.99.

Improved specifications – particularly in the areas of display resolution, brightness and weight – have made these devices much sought after by home owners eager to watch the next big blockbuster film or football match on a big, high-resolution display. However, projectors have to date largely been confined to use indoors, with even the most modern, high-definition models lacking the brightness, contrast, power and portability needed to work effectively outside....

What’s happening with Google Drive? The Drive service itself isn’t changing, and certainly isn’t shutting down. Instead, Google is replacing the Google Drive software for Windows and macOS with a new app called Backup & Sync. In reality, not much is changing aside from the name: Backup & Sync has pretty much the same set of features as the old Google Drive all and works in the same way. This is the app you’ll want if you’re a home user, regardless of whether you’re using the free Google Drive account or you pay for extra storage over and above the free 15GB....

Up to now Google did not provide such contracts because it maintains that it does not process personal data. Since 2011 it has offered such agreements only in Germany, after demands from the German DPA. In October last year the European Union’s council of DPAs, the so-called Article 29 Working Party, asked Google to make the agreements available E.U.-wide. The issue is part of a wider ongoing investigation into Google’s privacy policies by DPAs in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the U....

NOTE: The Karma is now discontinued. GoPro Karma: Price The Karma costs £1,199.99 from GoPro. Given that you get a £399 Hero 5 Black in the box, plus the Karma handheld stabiliser (£299), that means the drone and controller are effectively costing you £500. If you already own a Hero 4, you can buy the camera-less version of the drone for £869.99 (which still comes with the Karma Grip) and spend £34....

The stick PC can almost be described as an HDMI dongle, since it can plug directly into a TV or computer monitor with an HDMI port. It can even take power from a TV’s USB port (so long as it can provide 2A, which most can’t) but a mains adaptor is included in the box. You also get a short HDMI extension cable in case the display’s HDMI port is in an awkward position....

Before HomePod went on sale Apple released new details about its specification, which included supported audio sources. You can stream music to the HomePod via Apple Music or your iTunes or iCloud library, from Beats 1 Live Radio and podcasts, and you can use AirPlay to stream content from other Apple devices. Missing from this list is Bluetooth, which would obviously be the easiest way to stream music from an Android phone or tablet....

The X8 is a very different beast to the Magic 4 and Magic 4 Pro (not to mention the recently revealed Magic 4 Ultimate, which remains exclusive to China). For one, it’s a lot cheaper.

This is actually the first phone in Honor’s more affordable X series to get a release outside of China since Honor separated from Huawei....
