2013 is a landmark year for Sony on a number of fronts with some marquee product launches, but none more so impressive than their Xperia line of smartphones, phablets and tablets. The Sony Xperia Z1 is the true flagship Android device that eclipses the earlier Xperia Z in every way.
Friday, October 25, 2013 at 7:51PM The new Apple Mac Pro professes to be very best desktop for cutting edfe technologies and insane engineering. Expected to turn a lot of heads when it goes on sale at the end of the year, it also has the disctinction of being assembled in the US. The above video shows some of the processes that go into that production and it is quite amazing. A one-off Product (RED) version that's decked out in a crimson colour will be auctioned for Bono's charity.

One of the most revolutionary products to ever come out of the crowd-funded Kickstarter phenomenon, the Pebble smartwatch is finally coming to Canada. Future Shop is accepting limited pre orders of one Pebble per household at the price of $149.99 (which, surprisingly, is the same price as in the US). Watches will ship by November 18, in time for the holiday season.
It seems they only have stock of the Black version so anyone who wants the other colours may have to look elsewhere. I got my Pebble directly from the company as a Kicstarter funder and I had to pay an extra $39 for customs charges to Canada over the price of the device. I've been using Pebble with my HTC One, Moto X as well as with my iPhone 5s and have been satisfied with what the product offers. I've used it mainly for getting notifications (messaging, email, texts) and obsessively checking the weather through many of their various watch faces as well. I like the cross-platform nature of the Pebble, its ease of use and its longish 6-day battery life on a single charge. If you're interested check out Future Shop's page.

Feeling very much like the product the Z10 should have been, BlackBerry's new flagship Z30 isn't just the largest BlackBerry device we've seen and used but also the most refined in terms of software enhancements and user experience with BlackBerry OS 10.2.
The BlackBerry Z30, which sells outright for $700 but will be sold through various carrier plans, has a 5-inch AMOLED screen, it is a farily large smartphone verging on the popular supersized-smartphone category which some have decided to call 'phablets.' It is an elegant device, one that seems to be an amalgam of the Z10's monolithic look and feel plus the Q10's woven glass composite backplate. It feels like a polished stone in the hand with the various lines elegantly tapering at the edges.
