The company did, however, make it clear that the app wasn’t pulled due to an outside request from, for example, a government agency. TechCrunch speculates that a policy violation is what caused the app to be removed. […]

You can make your own rotary cellphone

[ad_1] At its heart, the phone is based on a custom ATmega2560v mainboard, Adafruit Fona 3G cellular equipment and a rotary dial from a Western Electric Trimline phone, all stuffed into a 3D-printed casing. You won’t have to endure 1960s-era limitations, though. A flexible 2.1-inch e-paper display can show missed calls and other vital messages, […]

Microsoft releases its unified Office app for Android

[ad_1] There are some catches. As Android Police warned, the current Android app isn’t optimized for tablets or Chromebooks. You can’t even use it in landscape mode. The iOS equivalent to the app is also nowhere to be seen at this point. We’ve asked Microsoft if it can elaborate on its plans. This could still […]

Apple warns of iPhone ‘supply shortages’ due to coronavirus outbreak

[ad_1] Apple is expecting a hit to its bottom line as a result of the supply shortages. On top of this, retail demand is a problem.

Amazon’s Fire tablets for kids are back to their lowest-ever pricing

The Galaxy Z Flip’s glass screen isn’t very durable

[ad_1] Nelson went so far as to suggest that Samsung wasn’t using real glass, speculating that it might be a glass-polymer hybrid. This struck him as misleading — if you describe a display as glass, shouldn’t it behave like glass? It may be more complicated than that, however. In a response to Engadget, Samsung reiterated […]

New York AG won’t keep fighting T-Mobile merger with Sprint

[ad_1] The state has been one of the more vocal opponents to the merger, warning that it could reduce competition, hurt quality and raise prices even with sacrifices such as offloading prepaid services to Dish.
