CES 2015 - Alcatel OneTouch Watch

Alcatel has a long history of launching a plethora of devices at the two main trade shows - CES and MWC . This year , the portfolio is a little bit shorter than previous years but surprisingly Alcatel has managed to grab some attention due to the launch of a new Smartwatch which , at $149 is quite a steal .

Armed with some good looks the watch looks a lot like a imitation Moto 360 . Like the Moto 360 , this has a 1.2" semi- circular watch face which kind of adds a bit of insult as this is aimed to be a affordable alternative to the Android wear platform . The watch , as mentioned , uses Alcatel's own software which works on Android (4.3 upwards) and iOS (6 and above) . The watch has a heart rate sensor , step counter and even a acclerometer + gyroscope and NFC for pairing with Android . The iOS pairing will allow Apple users to get notifications about phone calls , messages and Email while Android users will get to add more customizations to each notification . The watch is IP67 rated and it also has a swimming tracker onboard . The watch can track sleep , swimming , heart rate , calorie burn , steps and distance tracking .The watch however has a possible Achilles heel as the battery is said to be half the capacity(210 mAh) when compared to rival Android wear watches .Even if battery is a issue , the OneTouch watch is still a good alternative if you want a circular smartwatch without the added premium .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
