LG “Play” teaser hits at new product for the MWC

LG slipped us a cryptic invitation – “Play begins, Barcelona February 21.” What is it? We don’t know officially, but we’ll give it a few guesses.

Obviously, we’d most want a new smartphone – a music oriented one, given the music box in the background. LG has had a few stereo speakers on its phones, but it’s pretty rare, the LG Band Play is the latest addition.

Another guess would be “music service,” but LG already unveiled a high-resolution music service for its phones back in August last year. It offers 24-bit/192kHz audio, up from the CD-quality stuff at 16-bit/44.1kHz.

Yet another possibility is Music Flow – LG’s line of multi-room speakers (think Sonos). That one was first unveiled in 2014 though.

We would need more clues to narrow it down. Whatever it is, we will be in Barcelona for the MWC to watch it…

Google I/O will take place on May 18-20 this year

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has just announced the dates for the company’s most important event of the year. In 2016, the Google I/O developer conference will take place from May 18 to May 20 in Mountain View, California, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre.

This setting will apparently take I/O back to the neighborhood “where it all started” ten years ago, according to the exec. Further details will be communicated at a later date.

Over the past few years, I/O has become the event where Google announces the most new stuff. Every upcoming version of Android has recently been unveiled at I/O – and in the last two years this has been followed by a developer preview of the new release. We assume this will also happen in 2016. So hopefully you’ve marked your calendars…

Fans Have A Right To Be Worried About That ‘Young Han Solo’ Casting Leak

We’ve gotten our first look at the actors being considered for the young Han Solo. A short list consisting of Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Logan Lerman, Emory Cohen and Blake Jenner leaked to Variety, and the vocal parts of the Star Wars fanbase are not particularly enthused. It’s not that it’s a bad cast list, I guess. At the very least, I can’t imagine how it would be a particularly better, aside from casting an unknown. It’s more that it makes it abundantly clear what a bad idea this whole thing is. Because we already know who plays Han Solo, and it isn’t any of those dudes.
