Leak of BlackBerry Passport’s full specs surface

Specs of the unusually-shaped BlackBerry device have surfaced online and before it was taken down, the internet has already managed to spread the word on the BlackBerry Passport. The device will reportedly debut next month and it will sport a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, Adreno 330 graphics, 3GB of LPDDR3 800MHz RAM, 32GB of internal storage, microSD card support of up to 64GB, and that unique 4.5-inch 1440x1440 display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It will also have a 13-megapixel rear shooter, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera as well as 3450mAh battery. It looks to be no slouch but we’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see if any of these are actually true.

Google brings Photo Sphere Camera app to iOS

In case you missed it, Google recently brought its unique camera app to Apple’s iOS platform. Photo Sphere Camera will let you take 360-degree shots. You just need to point your viewfinder at the dot on a screen and tilt and move the phone around until you get the entire scene. It’s very much like creating your own Google Street View photo that you can share on Google Maps and other social networking sites. If this is something you’d like to try out, then you better download the app here.

LG teases round revision of its Android Wear watch

After apparently realizing that some users might prefer a round smart watch over a plain jane square model like it's current G Watch, LG is apparently going to copy the direction of Motorola and ship a round Android Wear watch. A leak shows some highlights of the new LG G Watch R which is expected to break ground at IFA. Poking fun at the Moto 360, LG is promising a 'perfect circle' meaning that the the LG watch will really be round and not have a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Good news for people wanting some variety in Android Wear devices.

Review: Mazda CX-5 2015

This is no Miata, but the CX-5 has as much Zoom as you’ll find in its class.

The now ubiquitous CUV segment is crowded to say the least. The likes of the Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4, Ford Escape and Mazda CX-5 (formerly Tribute) have been vying for space in Canadian garages for years now. 

This slice of the automotive pie is a huge area of focus for manufacturers. I suspect in part because these vehicles are among the most practical for small families and also because it’s a large volume driver. Hit jump for the full review.
