Motorola confirms it won’t be releasing a Moto Z3 Force version this year

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 03:30 PM PDT

Motorola unveiled its new Moto Z3 handset today at an event in Chicago, and the company announced later on in the afternoon on Twitter that it's breaking with tradition with the third installment in its Z Series. Unlike with the Z2 and the original Moto Z, the Z3 won't be getting a shatterproof Force version — at least not this year.

"We will not be launching any more Moto Z's this year," the company's official US Twitter account announced. (There is already a midrange Moto Z3 Play, announced back in June.)

There's a number of reasons why Motorola may be shying away from its more durable variant. For one, sales on previous Force devices may be pretty minuscule when compared with the sales of the main Z Series phones. There's also an...

BlackBerry unveils new Evolve series of phones with massive batteries and displays

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 03:13 PM PDT

BlackBerry has teamed up with Optiemus, its Indian manufacturing partner, to produce the new Evolve line of smartphones, which includes the BlackBerry Evolve and the BlackBerry Evolve X. Both phones share tall screens with 18:9 aspect ratios, and both also have massive batteries. The Evolve line will ship running Android 8.1 Oreo.

Unlike BlackBerry's last foray into the marketplace with the Key2, the Evolve line won't have a physical QWERTY keyboard. For security, both phones offer fingerprint sensors on the back, along with a face-unlock feature. Both phones also sport 4000 mAh batteries, charge via USB-C, and are compatible with wireless charging.

Amazon’s kid-friendly storytelling app is now free, and works with Alexa

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 02:11 PM PDT

Amazon's chat-style fiction app, Amazon Rapids, is now free, giving parents and kids unlimited access to the hundreds of stories in its catalog. Previously, the company charged $2.99 monthly for that privilege. Some of these stories will also be available to listen to through Alexa's Storytime mode, which was launched last summer.

Rapids made its debut in 2016. The then-subscription based service was meant to get children interested in reading, by presenting short stories in the style of text message conversations between characters. The idea was that these types of stories might be easier for a young reader to handle — according to Amazon, the app is aimed at five- to 12-year-olds. Rapids also offered an age-appropriate, PG alternative...

Samsung accidentally leaks another look at the Galaxy Note 9

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 02:06 PM PDT

Samsung has published a preorder announcement for the Galaxy Note 9 on its website — but it hasn't even officially announced the phone yet. The page reads, "Say hello to super power" and invites customers to preorder and be "one of the first to experience it." The page is still up at the time of writing, as first spotted by VentureBeat's Evan Blass.

The tech giant has a habit of leaking its own product releases early and this time is no different. The preorder page appears to be part of the newsletter Samsung sends out to customers in New Zealand. If you click on the preorder button, it leads you to an error page, as Note 9 preorders are likely still a few weeks away.

The photo confirms what we suspect from the m...

Comcast is adding Amazon Prime Video to its Xfinity X1 boxes

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:34 PM PDT

Comcast and Amazon have announced a new partnership to launch Amazon's Prime Video service on Comcast's Xfinity X1 set-top box, as reported by TechCrunch. The integration will give Xfinity users access to Amazon original series like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as well as movies, shows, documentaries, and over 160 premium Prime Video channels, including HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax.

This is the first time Prime Video has been added to an MVPD platform in the US, but it isn't the first streaming service Comcast has worked into its X1 interface. The company added Netflix to the Xfinity X1 in 2016, expanded to add 4K streaming in 2017, and earlier this year, it announced it will offer the ability to include a...

The Overwatch League is already getting two new teams

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:10 PM PDT

Just a few days after the inaugural season wrapped up, Blizzard has announced two new teams for its fledgling Overwatch League. For season two, clubs in Atlanta and Guangzhou will join the league, bringing the total number of teams to 14.

The Atlanta team is owned by a new company called Atlanta Esports Ventures, backed by Cox Enterprises, a massive conglomerate based in the city. Guangzhou, meanwhile, is owned by Chinese financial and entertainment company Nenking Group, which also operates the pro basketball team Guangzhou Long Lions. The names and branding for both teams have yet to be revealed. "We know Atlanta and Guangzhou have deeply engaged fan communities and we can't wait to unveil their teams," league commissioner Nate Nanzer...

Sonos CEO hints Google Assistant will arrive on speakers in time for holiday shopping

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:06 PM PDT

The US-based smart speaker company Sonos went public on Nasdaq today, launching an initial public offering valued at $16 per share. Hours later, its shares jumped over 25 percent for a high of $21, at the time of writing.

"We're raising our profile a bit and stepping onto the bigger stage. I don't think it could be better timed," Sonos CEO Patrick Spence says in a phone call with The Verge. "It's the next phase of us growing up as a company."

Going public means Sonos will have more cash to take on smart speaker rivals. But as it goes head to head with tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google, it runs into the interesting conundrum that its rivals are also its much-needed allies. As the company reported in its IPO filing, a risk it...

Trump administration moves to make new cars dirtier by arguing they’ll be safer

Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:06 PM PDT

The Trump administration moved to lower nationwide vehicle fuel efficiency rules today by arguing that dirtier cars will be safer. The administration is also trying to take away California's power to set its own greenhouse gas emissions standards and zero-emission vehicle program, which are initiatives that many other states around the country have followed for years.

It's a move that fulfills two of President Donald Trump's common goals: undercutting Barack Obama's policies and weakening environmental regulations. The decision, which has been in the works for well over a year, has already sparked a firestorm of reactions from state prosecutors, environmental organizations, industry players, and former EPA staff members. What's more, the...
