Read MoreThis year’s Mobile World Congress was a return to crowded halls, Chinese OEMs, laptops, wearables, and a continuation of AI demos from last MWC (and CES). There were also the trends that should have been but weren’t.
Read MoreAs usual, CES had product announcements that were exciting, some that were impactful, and lots that happened behind the scenes. This report covers Displays, Computing/AI, and Sustainability.
Read MoreI put nearly a dozen smart glasses and spatial computing rigs on my face at CES and got a chance to assess the state of smart glasses and spatial computing just ahead of Apple Vision Pro availability.
Read MoreIt’s CES week, so we must be getting details on Apple Vision Pro?

Read MoreAfter less than a year, Qualcomm and Iridium are parting ways. This can be a confusing space (pardon the pun), so here's a quick primer on what's going on industry-wide:
Read MoreHumane is launching a stand-alone $700 AI pin that you wear on your chest, works via voice and laser projection onto your hand, and requires a $24/month subscription.
Read MoreApple announced not only the new Apple Silicon M3 processor, but the performance variants as well. Its laptop lineup now makes sense, and the iMac gets an unnecessarily large boost in power.
Read MoreAt its annual Snapdragon Summit Qualcomm launched a new silicon platform for high performance laptops with exceptional AI capabilities, smartphone chipsets with AI, and even sound chips with AI.
Read MoreOnePlus is OPPO’s Western-facing brand, and its first foldable is a technical marvel. In the U.S. there are trade-in discounts, but it lacks carrier distribution and it’s still quite expensive.
Read MoreAmazon is serious about integrating generative AI into Alexa, even if a direct monetization model isn't clear. It is surrounding that LLM with a slew of new hardware, including a home hub, WiFi 7 router, soundbar, smart glasses, and more.
Read MoreSamsung is bringing back the "FE" brand but repositioning it as a permanent sub-brand across multiple products. It’s a good idea.
Read MoreMicrosoft is starting to integrate CoPilot generative AI into its OS, productivity apps, and browser – potentially changing how knowledge work is done. Three Surfaces get updates, too.
Read MoreI took HP’s latest ultralight laptop with me to Apple’s Wanderlust event and came away impressed with Apple’s phones and watches, and the Dragonfly laptop I used to cover them.
Read MoreAfter attending Apple’s Event with briefings and hands-on, here are my key takeaways for the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9.

Read MoreThis report is part of a new Techsponential series on hybrid work issues and tools. With computing moving to new form factors and OS/silicon combinations there’s a need for truly cross-platform encryption solutions without using the cloud. Kingston has a solution.
Read MoreIn the weeks since Techsponential got heads-on with the Apple Vision Pro , we have been asked numerous questions from journalists, Apple partners and resellers, and Apple competitors. This report provides a comprehensive look at the hardware, software, ecosystem, and implications of Apple’s entry into AR and VR.
Read MoreWith all the attention that Apple Vision Pro garnered last week, the new MacBook Air 15 may have been overlooked somewhat. It shouldn’t be; it’s basically everything average Mac users want in a reasonably priced, relatively lightweight laptop.
