Since rumors first started swirling late last year, there’s been some excitement around the idea that Apple would launch a new 4-inch iPhone in March. A replacement for 2013’s iPhone 5s with stronger features and more power, 9to5 Mac now reports the new model will carry the name iPhone 5se. The name itself intrigues as the 9to5 story says. It can be considered both a “special edition” of the 4-inch smartphone or an “enhanced” model of the 5s.

The oft-rumored and much-leaked Microsoft Lumia 650 was expected to become official on February 1, as per a report from a few days ago. That date has even been corroborated by a second source, though now a new rumor claims something different.
Apparently the Lumia 650’s introduction has been delayed until mid-February. An actual unveiling date hasn’t been mentioned this time around. Some unnamed software issues are reportedly to blame for this delay, according to “sources close to the matter”.
The Lumia 650 wasn’t expected to get its own launch event or anything like that, rather it was going to be made official through a blog post by Microsoft. That could still be the case, only we’ll now have a bit more waiting to do for it. Since the announcement itself has been postponed, we assume the Lumia 650 will become available very quickly after it.
Along with this information comes word that the metal edge of the phone is laser cut, which means it’s going to be matte on the sides but shinier on the edges. The 650 is also said to be the only new Lumia-branded smartphone launching this year. And it’s unclear what will happen to the brand from 2017 onwards. On the other hand, a Surface phone may be unveiled towards the end of this…
The Nextbit Robin “cloud phone” is finally going to start shipping on February 16, after many months since its initial introduction. However, that date is only valid for the GSM version of the crowdfunded device. The situation is completely different for the CDMA model.
The people behind Nextbit have explained today that the CDMA Robin will probably start shipping in April, although an exact date can’t be given yet. More information should become available as we get closer to that month.
The delay of the CDMA model compared to the GSM one has to do with the fact that development of the former only started after Nextbit saw people’s response on Kickstarter. The team now admits they “got a little carried away in the excitement of the campaign” when they estimated they would be able to deliver the CDMA Robin in February…
Ya os hemos hablado alguna vez del Ulefone Power, el terminal más ambicioso de la compañía hasta la fecha. Se trata de un equipo que ha captado la atención de muchos usuarios por diferentes aspectos, entre los que destaca principalmente su enorme batería, de 6.050 mAh, además de su pantalla Full HD de 5,5 pulgadas, su procesador de 8 núcleos, sus 3 GB de RAM, o su cámara de 13 megapíxeles.
Sin embargo, también posee un elemento que quizás ha pasado un poco desapercibido, y ese es el del sensor de huellas dactilares. Un sensor en el que Ulefone ha puesto especial empeño, para hacerlo realmente funcional y útil para el usuario.
Un sensor de huellas inteligentes
Puede que al sensor de huellas no le veáis muchas más utilidades aparte de poder bloquear y desbloquear la pantalla del terminal, pero Ulefone le ha dado una vuelta de tuerca con funciones muy interesantes. En este vídeo lo podemos ver en acción.
Como vemos, en el Ulefone Power es posible configurar hasta cinco huellas dactilares distintas, y a cada una de ellas darles una función. Por ejemplo, podemos configurar una para que nos abra la cámara directamente, otra para poder contestar un WhatsApp cuando nos llega la notificación de un mensaje, otra para abrir el navegador, otra para abrir Facebook…En definitiva, un sinfín de posibilidades.
Lo que dice la empresa china es que la mayoría de las veces que desbloqueamos el teléfono, es por ejemplo para contestar un mensaje, para consultar una red social, o para sacar una foto, por lo que gracias a esto ganaremos en comodidad y rapidez a la hora de hacerlo.

When you think of all the roles and departments inside of an organization (and there are many!) I believe that HR is most ready for some massive change. Why? Out of all the functions HR has perhaps remained static for the longest period of time yet it is also the only department inside of our organizations that is focused on touching every single employee. HR used to be very structured and formal regarding legal, processes, rules and regulations. Today we are seeing new technologies, new approaches to recruiting, talent management, the evolution of organizations structures, employee engagement, feedback, transparency, and much more. All of these things are forcing us to evolve how we look at the people-centric aspect of how our organizations operate. In fact, the very title of Human Resources is slowing disappearing, and being replaced by titles such as, People Officers, Employee Experiences Officers, and Talent Officers.
