Review: BlackBerry KEY2 LE

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Following up the success of the premium BlackBerry KEY2 with a very similar, more affordable and mid-range focused handset is a brilliant move by BlackBerry Mobile.

The company has brought back the brand awareness attached to the BlackBerry name, the modern Android -powered BlackBerry handsets are solid, well-built, and feature rich.

Final 'Aquaman' trailer sets us up for an origin story and thrill ride

The final traler for 'Aquaman' is out and gives us a glimpse of Arthur Curry A.K.A 'Aquaman' as a half human and half-Atlantean child, his discovery of his powers and lineage as well as the events that lead him to become DC's iconic underwater hero. The money shot is seeing Jason Momoa sport the classic orange and green costume complete with his royal trident. Other intense moments show the expanse of Atlantis, Meera and a menacing Black Manta in full battle regalia. 

I'm hoping 'Aquaman' will have the same sense of wonder and denouement that 'Wonder Woman' had and overall it looks less grim than Justice League and more fun, the way comic book movies should be. "Aquaman' surfaces in theatres on December 21, 2018.

Essentially a tablet Chrome OS device, it has an accessory keyboard that converts it into a Surface-like 2-in-1 device. The Pixel Slate also accepts the Google Pen for drawing and writing and is available in various processor and storage capacities. 

Skype calling comes to Alexa

Microsoft and Amazon continue to build on its partnership. This time, Microsoft is bringing Skype calling to Amazon Alexa-enabled devices. The Echo range can use Skype’s basic calling feature. And if you have the Echo Show, you’ll even get video calling support. On top of this, you can also use SkypeOut to call mobile phones and landlines. You just need to say things like “Alexa, call Stephen on Skype” to activate the call.
