Samsung S3 explosion

Samsung probes Ireland’s S3 explosion Will Samsung Galaxy S3 Explosion Report Help Apple iPhone 5?   Samsung is currently investigating a report that one of its Galaxy S3 handsets exploded in a user’s car in Ireland, and another model allegedly exploded in a Korean schoolboy’s pocket. The news comes as the electronics giant gears up to launch its flagship handset in its native Korea on Monday. A schoolboy in Korea was earlier reported to claim his handset’s battery exploded while in his back pocket. In that incident, Samsung claimed the external pressure pre-empted on the device was what caused it to explode. The Galaxy S3 is Samsung’s flagship device and these incidents would certainly put a doubt in the consumer’s mind. The device apparently let out a small, white flame, then let out an unsettling, yet harmless bang to top it all off. This effectively killed the radios inside but everything else, such as the display, seemed to be working ...

Watches are extremely personal devices and can be powerful fashion statements, functional or not; attractively crafted, technologically sophisticated timekeepers have their own special allure. Sony's new $150 SmartWatch is no exception. Powered by Android software, this high-tech ticker promises a lot in the way of features and functionality. Unfortunately, the flashy and cantankerous gizmo feels more like a work in progress. Unlike the heavier and bulkier 1.2-ounce Motorola MotoActv, the square, 0.55-ounce Sony SmartWatch is easily portable. Measuring 1.42 inches tall by 1.42 inches wide and 0.3 inch thick, the SmartWatch is more in line with Apple's pint-size iPod Nano (1.5 inches by 1.6 inches by 0.35 inch, 0.7 ounce). Measuring just 1.42 inches tall by 1.42 inches high by 0.3 inch thick, the S...
