Google is working with designer Christopher Cowan to make 'Really Blue' Jeans

Think you love your mobile device? Unless you start matching it, you can’t really claim to be that big of a fan of your phone. Luckily, Google is giving you an opportunity to prove yourself. It’s all thanks to a new partnership between the tech giant and freelance fashion designer Christopher Cowan, which has resulted in a pair of “Really Blue” jeans.

That’s right — the wildly popular blue variant of the Google Pixel has now made its way not only to other countries (where it keeps selling out) but also to your legs. So if you’re one of the many customers having trouble finding the Really Blue Pixel in the U.S., Canada, or U.K., you can temporarily satisfy your desire for your new smartphone with a pair of matching pants.

The “Really Blue” jeans are being rolled out in conjunction with the Pixel’s global launch, and make no mistake, these jeans were designed for this phone, not the other way around. In fact, the pants have only one pocket, and it’s designed for your Google smartphone. Said designer Cowan, “It’s awesome to be working with Google on this project and a challenge that I couldn’t resist. ‘Really Blue’ is such a unique color and the concept behind it really appealed to me.”

We should point out, of course, that like the Pixel itself, getting a pair of these pants is also going to be incredibly difficult. In order to buy the jeans, you have to order them directly from Cowan, who will actually make you a custom pair. That means that you need to go in for a special fitting with the designer, who will also then determine how large the single pocket needs to be.

This isn’t the first time Cowan has collaborated with a tech company — indeed, the designer previously worked with Acer on the launch of the company’s Iconia A1 – 840 tablet, whereupon Cowan designed a “Selfie Hat.” So if you want an accessory to go with your accessory, check out Christian Cowan and his blue jeans.

These 4 features might make me ditch my Apple Watch for the Google Pixel Watch 3

As a regular Apple Watch wearer, I found myself pleasantly surprised with the Google Pixel Watch 2 last year. The hardware was nice, Fitbit’s health tracking suite was solid, and even the battery life was good. However, it was never enough to keep me away from the Apple Watch -- my personal smartwatch of choice -- for more than a few weeks.

With the new Google Pixel Watch 3, however, there’s a new temptation that I didn’t feel before with its predecessor. I won’t know for sure if it’ll fully replace my Apple Watch until I spend more time with it, but based on what I’ve seen so far, there are a few new features that may ultimately push me over the edge.

I really hope the Google Pixel Fold 2 doesn’t look like this

This has been a busy week in terms of Google Pixel Fold 2 news. After a report about the phone's potential new processor and RAM upgrades, we now have our supposed first look at Google's second folding phone. And ... well, it sure is something.

These photos of the Pixel Fold 2 come courtesy of Android Authority, who received them from an anonymous source — the same source that claims the Pixel Fold 2 will have a Tensor G4 chip. Right off the bat, you can see that something funky is happening with the phone's camera module.

Does the Google Pixel Watch work with an iPhone?

Google threw its hat into the smartwatch ring last year when it introduced the Google Pixel Watch, and now it's back for a much-needed encore with the Pixel Watch 2 — an updated version that proves how good an idea it is to wait for the second generation of a new tech product.

The Pixel Watch 2 improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way, with better battery life, a more comfortable design, and far smoother performance. It's enough for Google to make a mark among Wear OS smartwatches and give Samsung’s Galaxy Watch lineup a run for its money in a way that other challengers like the Moto 360 and Oppo Watch never could.
