BlackBerry KeyOne with a Snapdragon 820 and QWERTY keyboard

BlackBerry's next smartphone is the KeyOne -- a promising Android phone targeted toward people who prefer physical keyboards. The company just postponed its release date to after May.


BlackBerry's KeyOne is a promising Android phone targeted toward people who prefer physical keyboards, as well as BlackBerry's suite of secure apps

lackBerry kicked its own Rim Main system to the control a year ago in favor of the more popular Google android OS, and it no longer manufactures its own phones. But the Waterloo company isn't exiting the company anytime soon. Rather, Rim has partnered with Far east company TCL to release Android phones under the BlackBerry manufacturer. Its latest phone is the KeyOne, a traditional BlackBerry mobile phone with a full QWERTY keyboard

If you are ignorant, TCL manufactures telephones under the Alcatel brand. BlackBerry's first devices under the new partnership with TCL were the DTEK50 and DTEK60, which are rebranded Alcatel phones reported and released toward the end of 2016. Every of them carry the same software experience that includes the BlackBerry Centre, the DTEK security software, and the famed Blackberry mobile phones Messenger (BBM). The same applies for the KeyOne. What makes the KeyOne unique in comparison to the company's first Google android smartphone with a computer keyboard -- the Priv -- is the product's rate.

"In hindsight, it was probably not the location for us to punch off the first Google android device, " Bruce Walpole, basic manager of Rim Flexibility, told Digital Tendencies about the Priv. "If I actually was to express where performed we maybe misstep? Most likely the tier -- the product is still surface breaking due to slider but in aiming to be everything to everyone... anyone with necessarily best in category. in .
Unfortunately, BlackBerry may be having some issues with the KeyOne as it has just late the launch date.

Pricing and availability

The KeyOne was initially expected to arrive in April, but it now seems like you’ll have to wait a little bit longer if you want to get your hands on BlackBerry’s latest. During a recent earnings call, BlackBerry CEO John Chen announced the worldwide release has now been pushed back to after May, with TCL slated to begin production at the end of April. No further information on availability was given during the call, but at Mobile World Congress the company said the KeyOne will cost $550 in the U.S. and will be available both unlocked and from various carriers.

We’ll update this article when we receive final release date information


Something different

BlackBerry’s latest mantra is “Distinctly Different.” There are a ton of all-glass Android slabs on the market, but hardly any with a physical keyboard. The company understands that while there may not be many people that want a physical keyboard anymore, there’s still a market for it. It’s why the DTEK60 and DTEK50 exist as alternative choices for people who want big screens with BlackBerry brand name as well

For all you hardcore BlackBerry fans, the KeyOne’s unique quality is its backlit QWERTY keyboard with capacitive gesture capabilities, akin to the physical keyboard on the Priv. That means you can swipe up and down, left and right on the keyboard to move through your home screen, or even scroll through apps.

A fingerprint sensor is embedded into the space bar on the front of the device. We couldn’t test it out yet, but it’s a unique way of adding the sensor onto the front panel, rather than extending the bezel to accommodate it. Above the keyboard are capacitive navigation buttons that offer strong haptic feedback.


The device carries a rectangular shape that’s quite elongated due to the physical keyboard, but the screen — protected by Gorilla Glass 4 — is only 4.5-inches. It’s easy to hold with one hand, but it can be slippery at times. That’s in part due to the soft-touch textured back.

The KeyOne is a little chunky and it feels like a brick — that’s not an accident. The company was quick to remind me of the days when its devices were known for their durability. BlackBerry is confident the anodized aluminum frame that surrounds the phone will protect the device from most accidental drops.

There is a headphone jack and down-firing speakers. Sitting in between the speakers is a USB Type-C charging port. The power button is on the left, and the volume rocker is on the right above the Convenience Key. The Convenience Key, which is available on the DTEK60 and the DTEK50, is a customizable hotkey for specific apps or tools, such as the camera.

Speaking of customizable keys, KeyOne owners will be able to create up to 52 shortcuts with every key on the keyboard. For example, you can set a quick press on “I” to open Instagram, and a long-press on “I” to open your inbox.

It only comes with 32GB of internal storage, but there’s a MicroSD card slot that allows for expandable storage up to 2TB. It also has an NFC sensor, meaning you will be able to take advantage of Android Pay.

The front camera packs 8 megapixels, and it can take 1,080p videos at 30 frames-per-second with video and image stabilization. The rear camera has 12 megapixels (with large 1.55µm pixels), and it uses the same Sony IMX378 sensor as the Google Pixel. The camera took great shots indoors with decent lighting and there was very little shutter lag, but in low-light areas, some images were blurry.

A security-focused Android 7.1.1

The KeyOne runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat, and BlackBerry’s mobile team will continue to issue digitally-signed security updates for the device — including Google’s monthly security updates for Android.

t’s clear that even with the price tag, BlackBerry is not interested in the flagship tier for this phone. Still, for the processor it has the $550 price may be a little too high compared to competitor’s devices — you can get a phone with a Snapdragon 820 for as low as $400 after all, and last year’s flagships are seeing price cuts as successors are on the horizon.

From our brief tests, the KeyOne seems like a good smartphone — and it’s hard to find one these days with a solid keyboard. The price may be justified.

Highs

• Runs near-stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat
• BlackBerry is promising fast security updates
• Physical keyboard has gesture capabilities
• Solid build quality
• Fast, smooth performance

Lows

• Keyboard feels a little cramped
• On the bulkier-end of phones
• Slightly blurry photos in low-light

How to find missing AirPods with Find My iPhone

Missing an AirPod or two? Use Find My AirPods to track down those pesky buds.

There's no getting around it: the AirPods are small. It's what happens when you chop the cord off a set of in-ear buds; they don't have much mass, and if you don't remember to store them in their pillbox case, you may find yourself frantically searching for an earbud or two.

Thankfully, if you've accidentally misplaced one of your AirPods, iOS 10.3 and Apple's Find My iPhone app will let you hunt it down as long as you're within Bluetooth range.

To start, you'll need both iOS 10.3 and the Find My iPhone app.

How to find missing AirPods earbuds

Note: This feature is primarily to locate individual missing AirPods earbuds — the AirPods case itself doesn't have speakers, and the earbuds themselves won't make a sound until they come within range of your iPhone.

1.Open (or download, if you don't yet have it) Find My iPhone.

2.with your iCloud account.

3.Tap on the entry for your AirPods.

4.Select Actions.

5.Press Play Sound.

6. Both earbuds will start making a triplicate chirp — quietly at first, then increasing in volume. If you're trying to find just one of the buds, you can mute the left or right earbud to focus in on finding the other earbud.

Still can't find your earbuds?

If your missing AirPods earbud is out of charge, you may be out of luck in locating it via the Find My iPhone app. That said, you can still go about finding it the old-fashioned way — back-tracking where you had them previously.

And if you've exhausted all other options, you can always pay a lost AirPods fee to Apple to get a new earbud — it's just $69 per lost bud.

New Apple headquarters in California - Open in April

The new Apple campus, dubbed “Apple Park,” will open in April, the iPhone maker said on Wednesday.
Although the first wave of employees will begin moving to the new headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., In the spring of the Northern Hemisphere, it will take about six months until all 12,000 workers make the transition, Apple said.
Apple also said it will name the company’s co-founder Steve Jobs to the theater for a thousand seats in the new futuristic venue. Jobs helped design the 708-thousand-square-foot campus before his death in 2011.

“Steve invested a lot of his energy creating and supporting vital and creative environments,” said Jony Ive, Apple’s design director, in a statement. “We are dedicated to designing, engineering and building our new campus with the same enthusiasm and design principles that characterize our products.”

Apple has paid close attention to every aspect of the campus, including the main building of more than 260,000 square meters, examining in detail even hidden areas such as wiring and pipes, Reuters reported earlier this month.

Apple’s high standards have contributed to delays in the project, former construction managers said. A door handle, for example, took at least a year and a half to be designed, according to a former construction manager. Apple unveiled plans for its new headquarters in 2011.

Free Bitcoin Earning -- "Bitcoin Price Prediction for 2017"

By - Sandeep Goenka: -

Contrary to my co-founders at Zebpay, I love to predict and I love to publish my predictions.
As per statistics, I have a 50% chance of being right. The best thing about predictions are that if you are right, you can republish that post with the comment “I told ya”. If you are wrong, well…

For 2017, I wanted to predict that bitcoin price will touch an all time high. Which it already did in the first week of January so that doesn’t count.

I believe all the fundamentals due to which bitcoins’ price has rallied till today are stronger than ever before. There are valid concerns whether the bitcoin community will be able to solve the scaling debate. I am an optimist by nature and so I hope and believe that we will see SegWit by the second half of 2017, followed by Lightning network. This will be a massive upgrade of the bitcoin network.

My fears about global financial conditions remains as serious as ever. I believe there is no easy way out of the current financial situation that the world is in. The situation of expanding money supply, low interest rates and the cycle of asset price bubbles continues to get worse. And no matter how good the intentions are, governments have no easy solutions.

The only risks are regulatory actions. More than risks, I believe they are speed bumps.
The growing adoption of bitcoins and the growing issues of the global economy means that I predict that bitcoin will continue to increase in value in 2017.

I predict bitcoin prices in the range of $2,500 to $3,500 by the end of 2017. We’ll see whether I get a chance to repost this at the end of the year or no .
Disclaimer: Bitcoin is a technology in beta. There are significant regulatory and technological challenges that bitcoin can face. No one should invest more than they can afford to lose.

An international team of astronomers has found 60 new planets orbiting stars close to earth's solar system, including a rocky "super Earth."
The recently- discovered Earth-like planet called Proxima b. is about 4 light years from Earth. This new discovery has certainly piqued the interest of various astronomy experts across the globe.

A single planet in particular, Gliese 411b, has been making plenty of attention. Referred to as a "hot very Earth with a rugged surface, " Gliese 411b is positioned in the fourth-nearest star system to the Sun, so that it is the third-nearest planetary system to the Sun, in line with the U. T. 's University of Hertfordshire, which participated in your research. Gliese 411b (also known as GJ 411b or Lalande 21185) orbits the star Gliese 411 (or GJ 411

Despite the "super Earth" label, Medical professional. Mikko Tuomi from University or college of Hertfordshire's Centre for Astrophysics told Fox Information that Gliese 411b is too hot for life to exist on their surface.

Gliese 411 and Gliese 411b can be found almost 8 light years from globe. A light year, which measures distance in space, equals 6 trillion a long way.

By way of comparability, the recently-discovered Earth-like world Proxima b, which orbits the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, is all about 4 light years from Earth. A red dwarf is a relatively cool small celebrity.

The discoveries derive from correction taken over 20 years by U. S. astronomers using the Keck-I telescope in Hawaii as part of the Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey. During the course of the research, experts obtained almost 61, 1000 observations of 1, six hundred stars, which are now available to the population.
