According to 9to5mac.com, reports say that a handful of high-profile social network and services have been seeded pre-release version of the iWatch SDK, with Facebook being one of them. Of course, we have to take everything with a grain of salt still but until September 9 comes and goes, we’re pretty sure people will keep talking about this heavily rumoured wearable.

Leaked photos of BlackBerry Classic surface

Aside from the BlackBerry Passport, only one other device will reportedly come out of BlackBerry’s stable. The Classic, which will reportedly come out in October, is meant to appease BB users who didn’t like that the trackpad and key belt were taken out of the Q10. Photos of the rumoured device have surfaced on Weibo (China’s version of Twitter). True to its name, it does look like a “classic” BlackBerry device. It will reportedly sport a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 3.5-inch display. What do you think? Will you be waiting for this handset’s release? We aren’t sure if it will be debuted alongside the Passport or if BlackBerry will hold a separate event for it.

Phorce has a created a bag that will let you carry your stuff and a 26,000mAh battery built-in. It features waterproof zippers, strategic padding, microfibre-lined pockets. There are three USB ports connected to the massive battery, which is capable of also charging a laptop as well.

Other than that, the Phorce has a free app that connects to the battery via Bluetooth and lets you know the remaining charge on what you have plugged in. It also lets you know if you’ve left the bag somewhere, which would come in handy because this isn’t a cheap bag. It retails for around US$700.
