Keep gadgets going with 26000mAh battery-powered bag

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to get through a day or two without having to look for a power source for your gadgets? Phorce has a created a bag that will let you carry your stuff and a 26,000mAh battery built-in. It features waterproof zippers, strategic padding, microfibre-lined pockets. There are three USB ports connected to the massive battery, which is capable of also charging a laptop as well.

Other than that, the Phorce has a free app that connects to the battery via Bluetooth and lets you know the remaining charge on what you have plugged in. It also lets you know if you’ve left the bag somewhere, which would come in handy because this isn’t a cheap bag. It retails for around US$700.

Microsoft plans to release Lumia 1020-like devices

If you’ve been a fan of the 41-megapixel-toting Nokia 1020, you might be getting a new one in the future. Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of the Phone Business Unit, Jo Harlow, confirmed with TechRadar that similar devices would be part of their product pipeline. He didn’t say when we’d be seeing it but the Lumia 1020 was out in 2013 so it is bound for a refresh under the now Microsoft-owned Nokia.

Harlow said, “Absolutely—we’re not end of the mission in camera technology, or in computational photography. We continue to invest in that area to bring the next greatest thing in high-end imaging.”

Dell reveals 27-inch 5K monitor for $2,500

The '4K revolution' has been a little slow to migrate over from HDTVs to computer monitors but Dell's got something for the pixel-obsessed in their 27-inch 5K display which it is selling for US $2,500. Dell's boasting a 5120 x 2880 resolution at 218 pixels per inch, which is the equivalent of what MacBook Pro with Retina Displays have but scaled to 27-inches. As cutting edge as this monitor is, the high price does limit it to the professional segment of the market. This looks like a great companion display to a new Mac Pro.
