- Zink slips WiFi-enabled ‘Print’ printer into the FCC’s database
Last time we heard from Zink, it was introducing some sort of digital camera in concert with Lady Gaga. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, that was unveiled at CES earlier this year. If we’re assuming a yearly refresh cycle, it looks as if the company is planning its next major product launch for CES 2013, judging by a report of a new piece of kit that just surfaced at the FCC today. Simply entitled “Print” (or “Happy Print,” as the documentation occasionally states), the (presumed) printer will support 802.11b/g/n WiFi transfers, though there’s a USB option for those who prefer the tethered route. We also get the feeling it can be powered via an included battery pack, enabling IRL Instagrams to be printed out right there on location. There’s no user guide to speak of, so further functionality is apt to be kept under wraps until its official reveal. If we had to guess, we’d say that day is coming soon rather than later.

- GameStop now stocking Kindle Fire tablets, handing out free virtual bucks with purchase
The Kindle Fire line of tablets is the latest set of electronics to grace GameStop store shelves in the US, the Texas company announced recently. From the baby 7-inch all the way to the larger 8.9-inch, the entire Fire line will be carried in all of GameStop’s 4,400 US-based locations after a successful test run earlier this year with various Android-based tablets — presumably it won’t be too long before discounted, used versions of the tablets become widely available, as GameStop’s offering a $100 in-store credit trade incentive toward the original Kindle Fire. Sadly, you’ll only snag the free $25 Amazon.com gift card (offered through the end of January) if you purchase a brand new Fire, but then there’s always that $50 off sale going on today, right?

Some interesting details about the upcoming AirPods and AirPods Pro successors emerged giving us a good idea of how the development is going and what they will look like.

vivo to replace Funtouch OS with Origin OS
Late last year vivo announced Funtouch OS 10, which launched with the X30 phone, but the pandemic delayed plans to update older phones. Originally, the company was planning a switch to Jovi OS before abandoning the project. Well, now vivo has a new in-house software project and it’s called Origin OS. Apparently, that stands for “original OS” and leakster Digital Chat Station claims that it will be a major improvement over the current Funtouch. It sounds like it will be a near complete re-write too. According to DCS, Origin OS will become one of the best Android UI customizations out...
Facebook unveils game streaming service focused on free-to-play mobile games only
Facebook is launching its own cloud gaming service, but it’s not going to compete with the Nvidia, Microsoft and Google services. The social network is focusing on mobile games exclusively while the others are for PC games. This new service offers instantly-playable games, just pick a game and tap on it – currently available titles can be found at fb.gg/play. No installation is needed and no controllers either (since mobile games are designed to be played on a touchscreen). Another major difference is that Facebook’s cloud gaming service is launching with free-to-play games....
Apple iPhone 12 in for review
A new iPhone must be viewed through the lens of your current handset – how you see the iPhone 12 is quite different if you’re holding, say, an 11 Pro compared to how you see it compared to something like the XR or even older. And if you have an Android, Apple’s phones may be a preview of what’s to come in 2021. The new vanilla model represents a fairly major upgrade over its predecessors, the iPhone 11 and XR. The first thing you’ll see is the OLED display – it’s the same size (6.1”), but is sharper, supports HDR10 and has that excellent contrast native to OLED panels. There’s also...
