LG G3 and G Watch expected to launch by end of May

LG's killing it in the HDTV market and while it's LG G2 (AKA the blueprint of the Nexus 5) is considered to be one of the leading flagship smartphones, it looks like the LG G3 is being prepared to mix things up with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One (M8). Rumours are saying we will see a jaw-dropping 2K display which exceeds the current model's 1080p HD display, and we're also hearing that the G Watch, based on the Android Wear platform recently introduced by Google to developers. The third time might be the charm for LG with a killer phone and watch combo coming to market shortly.

Microsoft brings printing capability to Office for iPad

The ability to print was sorely missing when Microsoft launched Office for iPad. But with a new update to the apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), users can now print their files on any AirPrint-capable printer. Microsoft has even updated Excel and PowerPoint to improve the way content is arranged and make things look well-spaced and better looking. It hasn’t been long since the Office apps were introduced and we’re glad to see Microsoft listening to their customers. We’re hoping they continue with this trend of releasing faster, smaller updates for their products.
