GoPro introduces wireless capabilities to latest affordable action cam

You’d have to shell out a lot more than US$300 to get wireless capability on your GoPro action camera. This time though, GoPro’s introducing the new Hero+ the $200 option with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It can take videos with up to 1080p/60fps video resolution, 8-megapixel stills in time-lapse or five photos per second burst modes. It integrates other features like QuikCapture one-button control for speedier recording; HiLight Tag; and Low Light mode.

The Hero+ comes with a watertight case you can take up to a depth of 131 ft. If you record at the maximum resolution, you should last for about an hour and 45 minutes with Wi-Fi on or around two hours with Wi-Fi off. It doesn’t have its own LCD viewfinder though. The new Hero+ will be available next month starting October 4th in stores and online.

Apple Music introduces Guided Tours page to help you make sense of the app

Still get confused about how to use Apple Music? The tech giant is helping you out with the new “Guided Tours” section on the mini site for Apple Music. There are “tours” with videos explaining how these core functions work. The tours revolve around the For You, New, Radio, Connect, and My Music features. It would seem this is to help the people who have been complaining about the service’s confusing interface.

It doesn’t tackle the iTunes and iPad interfaces though or the app that’ll come for the fourth-generation Apple TV. Right now, it’s a critical time for the service as the trials for Apple Music will end at the end of this month. Starting October 1st, subscribers who stay on will have to pay at least US$10 per month for the service. And we'll be able to see how much potential the service really has with the number of users who decide to stay on.

SlideShow: Check out the new BlackBerry Passport Silver edition

Photos by Alex Davies

While we've not been able to review or test the new BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition, contributor Alex Davies got to spend some quality time with the new and improved variant of BlackBerry's work-wide device. What's new aside from the colour change are the new textured back which is grippier. The camera now has a metal bezel which protects the glass from touching the surface. 

The more refined build and finish is apparent and similar in look to the AT&T version of the Passport that was released early this year.  BB10 version 10.3.2. is also preinstalled. Here's our review of the original BlackBerry Passport.
