Apple Retail Stores to stock Watch straps this week

Apple Watch owners clamouring for a new look and tap-into the Watch's chameleon-like nature will soon be able to score some new straps starting this week at their local Apple Retail Stores. Like the Watch itself, the bands and straps have been in short supply with some preorders promising a 7-8 week wait.

It looks like supplies are starting to loosen a bit and Apple Stores will have extra bands for in-store purchase for buyers of the Watch (who want an alternative band), for replacing some of the shopworn try-on Watches and finally, if stock permits, to sell to walk-in customers.

KFC helps keep greasy fingers away from phones with Tray Typer

 You’re probably the type who scrolls through your feed while eating out at fast food joints. But 
eating at places with friend and greasy food can be a bit bothersome. KFC in Germany had the 
right idea or at least a brilliant one when they introduced the Tray Typer. 
 
The Bluetooth-powered keyboard is just 0.4mm thin and is water-resistant, durable, and 
comes with a built-in rechargeable battery. It can work with almost any modern smartphone, 
tablet, or laptop. It was only available for a week in Germany and it was so popular that 
customers took them home.

Motorola adds manual exposure setting to Camera app

The Motorola Camera app is getting a handy update. It’ll let you adjust the exposure settings 
in the app, which means you can make a photo lighter or darker. The app uses a simple ring 
to adjust exposure level. Of course, the Motorola Camera is also getting the prerequisite bug 
fixes.

LG OLED prototype as thin as wallpaper 

How would you like a TV so thin you can peel it off like wallpaper? LG’s latest TV concept with 
organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology shows us the possibility. The 55-inch OLED 
display is a mere 0.97mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. It can be stuck on a wall using a magnetic 
mat that you can peel off like wallpaper. Of course, it probably got to this size because the 
circuitry needed to make a TV work isn’t integrated yet. Also keeping the weight and thickness 
down is OLED technology because without the need for backlights, it can make TVs even 
lighter. 
 
However, OLED is pretty tricky to produce, thus resulting in exorbitant prices. But it would 
seem LG doesn’t want to give up on the technology just yet.
