Samsung debuts 3-in-1 micro USB cable

Want to make the most out of a single wall outlet or charger? Samsung has a solution for you: a 3-in-1 micro USB cable. As its name states, the US$40 cable will let you charge three micro USB-powered devices at the same time. This will be a perfect travel companion, we are going to admit. However, you must remember that the split nature of the cables mean power is split evenly between three devices so it will take you longer to charge your gadgets.

HTC unveils IFA teaser with digits ‘820’

Hot off the heels of their HTC One M8 for Windows release, HTC has plans of unveiling a new device and reports say it will be an octa-core Android device. The Taiwanese brand sent out “save the date” invites for an “IFA Breakfast” on September 4^th. It is rumoured that the 64-bit octa-core device for HTC’s Desire line will be making an appearance. The teaser image with the digits “820” was just released and it seems in line with the numbering HTC does with Desire—the last Desire handset was an 816. We will just have to wait a bit to see what those numbers really mean.
