FlexCase concept introduces a secondary e-ink display in a phone case

This new concept from Microsoft Research and the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria is a case unlike anything else out on the market. Called “FlexCase,” this prototype features a secondary e-ink display that doesn’t just extend the content on your smartphone but can also help control your main screen using gestures, taps, and even bends and twists of the flexible e-ink display. It can help you turn pages of an e-book you’re reading by bending the edge of the e-ink screen or use it as a keyboard when you turn the phone into landscape. The video above elaborates on the different things the FlexCase can be used for.

Apple TV introduces new feature for live broadcasts

Apple is looking to bring live television to its set-top box with a new “Live Tune-In” feature. It allows you to get right into a live TV feed for certain apps. It’s tied with Siri and Apple TV’s voice-enabled Siri Remote so you can just utter a voice command like “Watch ESPN live” and it’ll launch this for you. Apple mentioned Disney XD and CBS as two apps that support this feature in the update’s splash screen. But for CBS app, you’ll need CBS All Access subscription. And Apple hasn’t indicated yet which apps work with the feature. At the moment, Food Network and ABC don’t work with it.

Android N will reportedly bring '3D Touch' to Android handsets

Android users with a bit of iPhone 6S FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) will be happy to know that the '3D Touch' feature is part of the new Android N OS, at least for upcoming handsets that can support the feature. Similar to the 3D Touch that is one of the key features on the iPhone 6S, additional pressure on the display will invoke secondary menus and options which can make it easier to get to functions of certain apps without necessarily having to open those apps. 

Expected to be announced at Google I/O 2016, the new feature will enable more efficient access to apps and their features when enabled.
