- Acer AC700 WiFi goes on sale, is your $350 ticket to the Chromebook club
Good niches don’t come cheap, but while $350 isn’t exactly a steal, Acer’s new AC700 will, at the very least, get you into the wonderful cloud-based world of Chrome OS for a good deal less than, say, Samsung’s Series 5. Of course, there are certain sacrifices to be made for the sake of affordability, namely the fact that the current version of Acer’s entry into the space is WiFi-only — a 3G version is set to hit later this summer for, one assumes, a noticeable price bump. The AC700 has an Atom N570 processor, 16GB of storage, and 2GB of RAM, and best of all, is available right this very moment.

- Google Talk to use SRI technology for stabilizing video chats, revive Chatroulette
Okay, so maybe it’s not the only reason that Chatroulette is due for a revival, but it certainly won’t hurt matters. SRI Technology has just announced that it’ll be providing image stabilization software to take the jiggles from your future Google Talk videocalls. ‘Course, you’ll need an Android 3.0+ device in order to take advantage, but the general consensus here seems fairly positive. SRI’s press release (embedded after the break) isn’t exactly laced with details, but GigaOM is reporting that this could also improve battery life, but only the heaviest of video chatters are apt to notice the difference. Looks like distracting yourself just got a whole lot less distracting.

SRI Technology | Email this | Comments - HP’s Stephen DeWitt to lead webOS global business unit, Jon Rubinstein stepping aside
It’s looking like there’s a little shuffling happening at HP in the wake of the TouchPad‘s release — and its somewhat less than flattering reception. The company has announced that Stephen DeWitt will be taking the lead in HP’s webOS global business unit, while Jon Rubinstein will be taking over as Senior Vice President of Global Innovation for HP’s Personal Systems Group — DeWitt himself coming from PSG Americas. You’ll of course know Jon as the main cheerleader for webOS in the past, appearing on our Show back in March to show off the TouchPad and the Pre 3. Will Stephen manage the same enthusiasm in extolling the finger-friendly OS’s virtues, or will we instead be seeing more webOS printers? Let’s all hope for the former.
Update: DeWitt was previously the head PSG Americas, not the global Personal Systems Group. Stephen DiFranco will be taking over the role of SVP for PSG Americas.

Meizu M9 Note lands in mid-February with 48 MP main camera, 4,000 mAh battery
Meizu has just announced the Zero, a phone with no buttons or ports, but the Chinese company is also working on less revolutionary devices. A handset that is expected to become official in mid-February is the Meizu M9 Note. It will come with a dual rear camera system, with the main sensor being the 48 MP Samsung GM1. It's a big 1/2" sensor, with 0.8µm pixels (but you can count that as being 1.6µm because 4-in-1 pixel binning will be present, resulting in 12 MP default images). Meizu founder Huang Zhang has confirmed this info, also adding that the M9 Note will be powered by the...
Deal: Save £150 when you buy a 256GB iPhone XS in the UK
Have you been meaning to buy an iPhone XS but haven't gotten round to doing that just yet? Are you in the UK or able to order from Amazon UK? Was the 256GB version the one you had in mind? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you're in luck. Amazon has decided to shave a cool £150 off of the usual price of the 256GB iPhone XS. Hence, you can now get one for just £999, compared to the £1,149 price you'd normally have to pay. The retailer doesn't explicitly mention it, but we strongly suspect this is a limited time offer, especially as Apple's UK website still shows the...
Huawei P10 and Honor 9 receive EMUI 9.0.1 update with January security patches
Today Huawei has started sending out a new software update to the P10, its flagship smartphone from the first half of 2017. Additionally, the Honor 9 is getting the same software, namely EMUI 9.0.1. Currently the rollout is happening only in China, but it's clearly only a matter of time before the new release hits other markets. EMUI 9.0.1 comes with the January 2019 security patches, and it's based on Android 9 Pie like EMUI 9 was before it. EMUI 9 with Android Pie was released in Asia for the P10 and Honor 9 back in December of last year, and it's nice to see Huawei and its sub-brand...
Honor View 20 review
Honor's View lineup is back and significantly better than before. For starters, it's got a much more attractive glass back and metal frame while the front no longer has a notch of any kind. The back of the phone is ultra-shiny and easily one of the best-looking smartphones around. Honor has innovated on pushing the glass back cover into something more and we love what it has come up with.
Huawei will reveal its 5G plans tomorrow
Huawei increased its R&D spending in preparation for the launch of 5G. Now the company wants to talk about what it has been working on with a "pre-MWC" briefing to be held on January 24 in Beijing (that's tomorrow). The event will be livestreamed and it will kick off Huawei's 5G efforts. The company wants to deliver a double-hitter by unveiling a foldable 5G phone - either at the MWC or in the second half of 2019. Sub-brand Honor will release a 5G phone too. Huawei teases a 5G Wi-Fi 6 router for tomorrow We don't actually expect to see a phone tomorrow, certainly not a full...
