BlackBerry's 'Venice' Android slider appears in more leaked photos

BlackBerry's upcoming 'Venice' Android device, which reanimates the slider form factor that died with the Torch 9860 back in 2011, has once more appeared in a series of photo leaks. We can see the size of the display as well as the particular slide-out keyboard for this device which is rumoured to be an AT&T exclusive. 

Looking at the screen, it is weird to see a BlackBerry device devoid of any BlackBerry apps, WhatsApp is even prominently displayed instead of BBM (the horror!). The 'Venice' seems to be an intriguing device, it's one of the few (or only) Android sliders we've seen and it seems to take a lot of the design mojo from the BlacKBerry Passport and Classic. Check out the rest of the photos at Phandroid.com.

Review: iPod Touch (2015)

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

This isn't your daddy's iPod Classic. The new iPod Touch looks and feels like the last model released in 2012. It features the same 4-inch Retina Display and coloured aluminium rear casing. What's different is what Apple has managed to change on the inside.

We now have an updated Apple A8 processor which is the same as what the iPhone 6 offers. A new 8 megapixel iSight camera seriously boosts the iPod Touch picture and video taking capability by putting one of the most popular cameras in a new device. Thanks to sensor and processor, iPod Touch users can now shoot slo-mo video as well as burst-mode photos. Also onboard is the M8 motion co-processor which aids in tracking fitness.

Moto 360 no longer available for sale online, hints at new model coming

There have been many hints and leaks at a new line of Moto 360-type smartwatch from Motorola. The US company online store for Moto 360 is still up, but upon clicking on the option to 'Build Yours," the page leads to a support page. This means that Motorola has managed to clear stock of the round Android Wear device (which has been heavily discounted in the previous months) and is now priming to reveal the latest models and replacements.

What we've heard is that the new Moto 360 is still round, it will come in two-sizes, have a smaller overall size and improved functionality while offering a much easier way to replace straps and accessories.
