    I believe the Sony is close to your requirements but not perfect. Wear can support local storage. The Sony is the only Wear on the market that has standalone GPS. The bad news is t…

    Moto 360 owner and Microsoft Band. I won't echo the sentiments of the other comments but you may want to explore the Microsoft Band. It falls short on bluetooth music player. Howev…

    I find AirMail to be similar in style with a ton of advanced features. Have you tried using that?

    The demo video shows a Surface tablet that has zero visual response to the hardware keyboard and their demo product. Who thought this was a good idea?

    I've followed LukeW's version of reachable areas of the screen in my UI design. I think you've improved upon his. I also find it fascinating how Facebook's main iOS app and Paper (…

    Lately, it's been a combination of removing distractions like IM, e-mail and the like. Putting on headphons and listening to Coffitivity. Then, I either grab a paper and pencil or …
