The Ford GT is absolutely sick with high-tech innovation and you need to know why
Ford is done with nostalgia. The 2017 Ford GT might bear the faint silhouette of the GT40 - the gorgeous endurance racer that crushed Le Mans in 1966 - but this latest supercar reboot is absolutely sick with high-tech engineering.

Alcatel Onetouch Watch review: A cheap smartwatch with training wheels
The Alcatel Onetouch Watch isn't snazzy-beautiful, and it's not packed with features. But at only $150, it's one of the cheapest smartwatches you can buy--and that might seal the deal if you're merely smartwatch-curious instead of smartwatch-confirmed.

The Apple Watch is flirting with feature-bloat, putting sublime simplicity at risk
If I were Tim Cook right now, I wouldn't be worrying about Apple Watch sales potential. Oh, it will sell. The new TV spot is inspiring, and the stainless steel polish on these watches looks fan-frigging-amazing. Add in Apple's trademark surprise-and-delight, and all signs point to long lines on launch day.

Hands on with Microsoft Band: It's awkward and inaccurate, but stuffed with features
I've never worn an ankle bracelet like the one Lindsay Lohan had to wear while under house arrest. But after two days testing the Microsoft Band, I think I may have an idea of how constricting and confining those electronic monitors might be.

Why have consumers spent $US1 million on Vessyl, an absurd calorie-counting cup?
The Vessyl calorie-counting cup is probably the most ridiculous, unnecessary gadget I've seen demoed in all my years as a tech journalist- yet somehow, inexplicably, the company behind it has just announced that it's surpassed $US1 million in pre-order sales.

Samsung Gear Live: It's the world's best smartwatch, but probably not for long
The Gear Live is the best smartwatch I've ever used--but that's not a remarkable achievement considering all the crappy-to-middling efforts we've seen from Samsung, Sony and Qualcomm. If I were being generous, I'd say Samsung finally landed on a simple, wrist-friendly interface that does away with messy nested menus and convoluted features like voice calling.

You won't want Microsoft's wearable just for 11 sensors or cross-platform support
Microsoft is working on a fitness-focused smartband that's packed with bio-sensors, as well as support for all three major mobile ecosystems. That's the recent news from three independent sources, and it sounds intriguing--until you unpack the details, and map what's been reported against the wearables status quo.

Source: Apple's iWatch will hit production in July with 2.5-inch display, wireless charging
The iWatch won't be an official product until it's announced on the stage of an Apple press event, but a Thursday report lends more credibility to rumours that Apple's smartwatch is imminent. Referencing various anonymous supply-chain sources, Reuters has reported that Taiwan's Quanta Computer will begin production of Apple's mythical wearable in July.

PCWorld's Jon Phillips uncovered a 10-year-old HP Compaq TC1100 and compared it to a state-of-the-art Surface Pro 3. The only similarities? Both devices run a proper Windows desktop.

Ten years after: HP's primordial Windows XP tablet versus Surface Pro 3
The HP Compaq TC1100 is only 10 years old, but in mobile computing years, it's laughably archaic.

Report: Microsoft nearing release of OS-agnostic, heart rate-monitoring smartwatch
Oh, come on. Of course Microsoft is at least considering the release of a smartwatch. Any megabrand tech company would be fiscally negligent if it didn't invest R&D, if only a little bit, in the wearables space.

Samsung has wearables fever and the only prescription is more watchphone
Do not underestimate Samsung's obsession with adding complexity to its wrist-worn wearables. The original Galaxy Gear smartwatch was a victim of its own feature creep, and the second-gen Gear 2 does nothing to simplify a wearables platform that tries to squeeze way too much into a teeny-tiny screen.
