Review: Martian Victory Voice Command Watch

By Niall Donnelly

I got an average of 5 days’ use on the smart watch battery, but thankfully, the analog watch continues its life span with an estimate of two years’ life.

So I have finally got my hands on what appears to be a classy looking watch that doubles as a voice command smart watch.  

The ‘Martian Victory Watch’ is quite the smart watch and sells for a not so ridiculous $300 in Canada. Martian offers many watches with classy designs from their non-voice activated ‘Notifier’ series ($150) to their voice activated ‘G2G’ series ($250) and higher end ‘Passport’ and ‘Victory’ series (both $300). The whole line of Martian watches comes with a 1-year limited warranty and is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.

Apple becomes the second most popular camera brand on Flickr

A testament to the popularity of the iPhone (ok, and maybe the iPad, too), Apple has surpassed Nikon as the second most popular camera brand on Flickr. Why is this significant? Well Apple doesn't make standalone cameras (QuickTake and iSight are both discontinued) but its iPhone cameras are prolific and popular. Leading the pack is Canon with 13.4 per cent, Apple folloes with 9.6 per cent and Nikon has 9.3 per cent.
