KitKat Provides Free Nexus 7 To Those Willing To 'Have A Seat' As Part Of Android Promotion

KitKat Provides Free Nexus 7 To Those Willing To 'Have A Seat' As Part Of Android Promotion

Liam Spradlin Liam Spradlin

Whether you consider Google's partnership with the KitKat brand a delightful cross-promotional play, a brand sell-out (though officially no money changed hands), or something else entirely, there's no denying both sides have enthusiastically pursued the team-up which promises some lucky winners free Nexus 7 tablets, and Android users the still mysterious Android 4.4 KitKat.

Giving us a break (get it?) from the hype surrounding the next Nexus phone, KitKat recently held a promotion in which contestants need only "have a break" to win a new Nexus 7.

10 Minute User-Made Demo Video Shows How Google Voice Search Has Improved In The Last Year

10 Minute User-Made Demo Video Shows How Google Voice Search Has Improved In The Last Year

Ryan Whitwam Ryan Whitwam

Google Search is a really handy feature, but are you using its voice features to the fullest? Probably not, unless you're Jean-Louis Nguyen. This YouTube user posted a video last year showing off everything Google Voice Search was capable of, but that was early on. Google Search has evolved a lot in the past year, and Nguyen got in touch to let us know there's a new demo video. It's over 10 minutes of voice search queries, many of which you probably didn't know were possible.

[IFA 2013] Hands-On With The Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch (Video)

[IFA 2013] Hands-On With The Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch (Video)

David Ruddock David Ruddock

We were lucky enough to spend some time with Qualcomm's upcoming Toq smartwatch this afternoon, and I left impressed. The Toq's primary value comes in the form of a Mirasol display. Mirasol was demoed in "production ready" form in 2011 at CES by Qualcomm, but the actual products never came.

If you're not familiar, Mirasol is a full-color e-ink style display without e-ink's terrible refresh latency. As its name suggests, Mirasol displays actually get better in sunlight, as they refract incoming ambient light to make the display more vivid.

[IFA 2013] Hands-On With The LG G Pad 8.3 (Video)

David Ruddock David Ruddock

We're back with another hands-on here at IFA in Berlin, this time LG's upcoming G Pad 8.3. This is LG's first tablet since the somewhat-disastrous G Slate, and it's a far more conservative approach to the tablet model. LG's pretty much stuffing the old Optimus G Pro's guts inside an 8.3" tablet's body, albeit with the G2's newer software.

The G Pad 8.3 has a Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, an 8.3" 1920x1200 display, 16GB of internal storage, front and rear cameras, a 4600mAh battery, and a microSD card slot.

[IFA 2013] Hands-On With The Sony Xperia Z1 (Video)

[IFA 2013] Hands-On With The Sony Xperia Z1 (Video)

David Ruddock David Ruddock

Sony's oft-leaked Xperia Z1 finally made its official debut at IFA in Berlin yesterday, and I had a chance to take a few minutes and look at the company's latest smartphone creation. The Z1 has opted to keep the same basic dimensions of the Xperia Z with its 5" 1080p LCD, enclosed in an aluminum chassis sandwiched between two glass plates. As such, holding the Z1 is very reminiscent of the Z - lots of glass, and an extremely solid, premium feel.

Samsung Opens Up KNOX To Consumers, Available For 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1 And Note 3 At Launch, Support For SIII, S4, And Note II Coming Later

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Samsung KNOX separates data and apps into containers, making it difficult for malware or intruders to gain access or cause damage where they aren't wanted, and it is integrated to a device's hardware and each individual level of the Android framework, making it a full-coverage solution. The software has been available to enterprises for some time now, alleviating concerns that Android isn't secure enough to protect corporate data and communications.
