Android Wear smartwatches might get iPhone support

It’s so far from confirmed but rumours are swirling that Android Wear devices might get support for the iPhone. Sources for French outlet 01net claim that Google is “preparing to launch” Android Wear app on iOS as a third-party app. If this were true, that would need a bit more work since this won’t be an Android-to-Android connection. But again, no one at Mountain View is confirming nor outright denying the rumour. We just have to wait and see if you can head out and buy that new Huawei or LG smartwatch for yourself.

Waze may come pre-installed on your next Android phone

The next generation of Android phones might come with the Waze. The navigation app is part of Google’s Mobile Services, which is a list of apps manufacturers and carriers can ship with their devices. If you remember, Google bought Waze two years ago and kept it separate from Google Maps. Of course, it seems like a plan to get more people to use Waze but that’ll still depend on the carrier and manufacturer if they intend to carry it.

Wacom reveals touch-enabled version of Cintiq 13HD

Wacom usually releases non-touch version of its stylus-friendly devices first. That’s why two years after the release of the Cintiq 13HD, we finally get one that adds touch support to it. It still supports the Pro Pen with 2,048 pressure sensitivity level and has an adjustable stand, customizable ExpressKeys, and a Rocker Ring. It would seem the only difference is the addition of touch support. If you’ve been holding out from getting one, you can get the new Cintiq 13HD for US$999.
