Last month a leak showed us the upcoming Samsung Gear Fit 2 fitness tracker, and also the Gear IconX fully wireless headphones that are probably going to get announced alongside the new Fit. And now it looks like someone was able to spot official images of the two devices on Samsung’s own SHealth website.

Unfortunately no details about the Gear Fit 2 or the Gear IconX were published with the pictures, but at least we can now be sure what these products will look like.

The Gear Fit 2 (seen above) comes with a new textured strap and looks a tiny bit more like a smartwatch than its…

Remember the Samsung SM-C5000 (allegedly the Galaxy C5), which has got its specs leaked at-least a couple of times so far? Well, the device has now leaked in live photos, making it the first image leak of the handset.

Microsoft has updated the OneDrive for Android and Web with a new ‘Discover’ view. According to the company, the new feature lets content find you, instead of you looking for it.

According to analysts company Counterpoint Research, Samsung is now the top dog in the US smartphone market. The last time Samsung outpaced Apple was 11 months ago, but now thanks to strong sales of the Galaxy S7, the company is again leading.

Vine has had an app for the Windows Phone platform, but this new version is designed from the grounds up for the newer Windows 10 platform. The app has a black theme throughout, unlike on iOS and Android, and lets you upload even from desktop. One annoyance, though, is that the app has a tendency to automatically move on to the next Vine after one finishes playing, and there is no way to disable this right now.

This is the only Vine app…
