Epson’s new EcoTank printers can last for up to two years without refills

ET-4550

If you find refilling inks on your printers troublesome and a bit expensive, Epson is introducing a new line of printers designed with large ink reservoirs. How large? It’s touted to last you up to two years without having to refill. The EcoTank line introduces five new all-in-one colour printers for both the office and the home. Its tank is equivalent to having about 20 sets of ink cartridges, depending on the model you purchase. Replacement inks can go as low as $15.49 per bottle or $62 per set of bottles. As part of the company’s Supertank category, these combine MicroPiezo technology and large ink reservoirs. Some of the models come with two-year limited warranty with registration and built-in Wi-Fi capability.

Is this Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 flagship smartphone?

With all this talk about Windows 10 being able to run on 'all devices' as well as the Continuum feature which can turn a powerful smartphone into a desktop PC (given a dock, keyboard, monitor and mouse), there hasn't really been any hardware coming out of Microsoft that could demonstrate this ability. Until now.

The leaked photo above seems to belong to a 5.2-inch prototype Windows Phone which is said to be sporting a USB Type-C connector. It is hinted that this has a 20 megapixel PureView camera as well as a Snapdragon 808 processor and 3GB of RAM. Hopefully this device will be launched in time to ride the wave of interest that Windows 10 is enjoying right now.

Viber gets a redesign and better call quality

Viber introduces some important changes to its Android and iOS apps in a move to add more value for its users. The app reportedly now gets better voice and video quality while keeping data usage at a minimum. Calls over 2G will only use up 84KBs of data per minute.

The Android app also now makes it easier to share contacts between users and in group conversations. Making video calls can also now be done straight from your recent calls list or from someone’s contact profile. You also see rich links now and you get new payment options for buying more credits. The iOS version also gets the rich links, easier video calling, contact sharing, and the ability to add groups to a public chat. New animated stickers are also coming to the Viber app on iOS.

Twitter rolls out landscape mode for Apple iPhone 6 Plus

Helping Apple iPhone 6 Plus users see more Twitter on their screen, the social network adds a landscape mode to the super-sized iPhone’s Twitter app. Not only do you see more of the user interface at once. There is also a new compose window and threaded conversation design. The new UI looks rather similar to how Twitter looks like on the iPad. No word yet if Twitter plans to introduce this to the other iPhone models.
