For a number of months — say, November 2014 to somewhere around March 2015 — ASUS had what we could say was one of the best-looking Android Wear offerings out there. The original ZenWatch brought some curvy style to nerds' wrists (mine included). But it was fairly quickly usurped by the likes of the LG Watch Urbane and the announcement of the Huawei Watch, if for no other reason than the ZenWatch's display just isn't as good. Now ASUS has returned with the ZenWatch 2. It's still sort of a rounded-square hybrid, promising better battery life, new strap options, and some new software features. Plus there's two sizes to choose from now, for those of us with smaller wrists. Let's take a quick look.

Nextbit, a company founded by former Android engineers from Google, HTC, and others, has unveiled its first smartphone. The Robin has a pretty unique and fun design, but the major selling point - they claim - is that the phone intelligently manages its limited storage by offloading lesser-used or unused stuff (content and applications) to the internet. An interesting strategy in the current climate of privacy wariness - especially since these more boutique Android phones tend to be for technologically inclined users, who will be more aware of these issues. One also has to wonder how well this will work and how reliable it'll be, considering the company's young age.As for specifications:Speaking of hardware, the Robin is a uniquely designed mid-range Android phone. Nextbit tapped former HTC designer Scott Croyle as its head of design in 2014, and set out to make a phone that stands out among the sea of similar looking phones. The result is a device that's starkly rectangular, but with circular details throughout. The Robin's all-plastic chassis houses a 5.2-inch, 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 2,680mAh battery, and 13-megapixel camera. Unique additions include a USB Type-C charging port and fingerprint scanner embedded into the side-mounted power button. The Robin is completely carrier and bootloader unlocked and is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile LTE.Decidedly midrange for a phone that's on Kickstarter right now and will (supposedly) ship in January.

The OpenSSL project looksat its security record for the last year. "The acceptabletimeline for disclosure is a hot topic in the community: we meet CERT’s45-day disclosure deadline more often than not, and we’ve never blownProject Zero’s 90-day baseline. Most importantly, we met the goal we setourselves and released fixes for all HIGH severity issues in well under amonth. We also landed mitigation for two high-profile protocol bugs, POODLEand Logjam. Those disclosure deadlines weren’t under our control but ourresponse was prepared by the day the reports went public."

IFA 2015 is almost upon us. It's looking to be pretty interesting this year, if we do say so ourselves. Unfortunately for most of us, IFA is in Berlin, so going is kinda difficult. Thankfully, Mobile Nations is sending in five of the best technology journalists to IFA to cover the insanity. When they're not writing up articles fast as their fingers will let them or playing with all the cool new toys — I mean getting valuable hands-on time with cutting-edge technological gadgetry — they'll be sharing their conference experience on social media. There are few weeks of the year that can flood a news feed quite like IFA, and you can catch both the headline and the not-so-headline material from this sprawling amalgam of gadgets and German food. For every surprise out of Berlin, here's where to follow our team.

Despite Google's claim that the LG Watch Urbane is the only current-generation hardware that would be supported in Android Wear on iOS, it appears as though many other watches can connect as well. We have been able to connect a Moto 360, LG G Watch and others, with some issues along the way. For example, we have seen duplicate notifications on the Moto 360, some of which won't clear from the watch. Also, changing watch faces from within the app seems to be hit-or-miss right now.

In the Great Smartwatch Wars of 2015, an impassable line was drawn in the sand. Android phone owners could only use Android Wear devices. iPhone owners could only use an Apple Watch. Ne'er the twain shall meet—until now. Google has broken down barriers and opened up the Android Wear platform to those toting iPhones. ...Read more...
That's right: beginning today, a select set of Android Wear smartwatches (and all future watches) will work with the iPhone. The app should be rolling out worldwide soon. Itâs been a long time coming - and it means that Google will be challenging the Apple Watch on its home turf. Those Android Wear watches will be both cheaper and more varied than the Apple Watch - just like Android itself.Despite Google's claims to the contrary, though, older Wear devices seem to work just fine - reports are coming in for the Moto 360 and LG G Watch also working with the iPhone application just fine.
