- TWCable TV app update brings captions, search, and parental controls
Time Warner has been streaming live TV to the iPad with its TWCable TV app since March and the most recent update brings even more traditional TV standbys to the tablet experience. Now live in v2.5.0 is a basic search function (titles or episode name only, keywords, cast and crew are coming soon), support for closed captions and the ability to block certain channels on the app for parents. There’s also a few bug fixes for those experiencing audio issues or not seeing their HD channels in the lineup — subscribers can check out the official blog for more details or just grab the free app on iTunes.

Time Warner Cable Untangled, iTunes | Email this | Comments - Samsung Stratosphere lays it all out with spec sheet treatment
The upcoming Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless is hardly a secret, but other than a few rumored details, the specs for this LTE-equipped QWERTY slider have remained a bit of a mystery. Now, all that has changed, thanks in large part to its leaked spec sheet from Big Red — just take a peek after the break. It’ll be packing a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, a (presumably) single-core 1GHz processor, along with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 4GB microSD card that’s pre-installed. Curiously, it’ll be the first of Verizon’s LTE phones to incorporate a Micro SIM in place of the larger, traditional offering. Other than that, it looks as if the speculation of Android 2.3, along with its 5MP rear / 1.3MP front cams were dead on. There will also be an LED flash in tow, although video capture will be limited to a rather mundane 480p. That said, if you’re thirsting for speed but are needing a keyboard, the Stratosphere is looking like your obvious (albeit only) choice.

- Boston Dynamics Alpha Dog makes Alyx Vance’s pet look like a toy (video)
Boston Dynamics’ BigDog is one of our favorite insane-level DARPA projects; a robotic pack-mule that can carry 400 pounds of kit for troops. At some point, the Massachusetts mechanics decided the bot would be far better if it was the size of a bull, or, you know, an SUV. The Alpha Dog loses the un-stealthy buzzing noise of its predecessor, has a range of 20 miles and can take much more punishment. If you check out the video after the break, you’ll see two people unsuccessfully attempt a takedown on the monster — Half-Life 2 diehards might experience a combat flashback at the mere sight of it. AT-AT Jr is expected to see field testing sometime next year when it won’t have a test bed of rocks to contend with, but the US Marines. Mark our words: we expect ’em to appear in every nightmarish dystopia of the 2020s, and take a starring role in the forthcoming Robopocalypse.Continue reading Boston Dynamics Alpha Dog makes Alyx Vance’s pet look like a toy (video)

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...
