Tekkon Ties iPods to Bluetooth Via myTalker

Tekkon this week at MacWorld in San Francisco unveiled the myTalker, a Bluetooth device which lets users use their own music headphones to make and receive mobile phone calls while listening to a MP3 player. It is priced at $74.95 and should be available next month.

The myTalker, according to Tekkon, connects between an iPod or MP3 player and the music headphones. The rechargeable device also pairs itself with a Bluetooth mobile phone. Calls are heard directly through the music headphones and the user can speak through a microphone built into the myTalker unit.

Other features of myTalker include buttons for controlling call functions, indicators for headset status and low-battery, the ability to charge the device through a USB port and a weight of 1.2 ounces.

I moved a car with my eyes, and it blew me away

The Honor Magic 6 Pro comes equipped with a feature called “Magic Capsule,” which is essentially a way to gaze through notifications without touching your phone. It’s a bit similar to Apple's Dynamic Island but with a catch.

Here, you expand the notifications without even touching your phone. You do so by controlling the phone with your eyes. To showcase the feature at MWC 2024, Honor let me start, stop, and move a car with my eyes. And it was the craziest demo I’ve ever seen at MWC.

Why I ditched my iPhone 15 Pro for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro in hand.

This is not another “lifelong iPhone user tries Android” story. I use and review all kinds of phones, and I prefer the flexibility of Android. That said, I’ve been on the iPhone 15 Pro since its launch — for two reasons. First, I had been getting the iPhone 14 Pro Max-level battery life on it. Second, I like the stability of social media apps like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). But the experience has been downgrading for a while now.

Samsung's "AI phone," the Galaxy S24 Ultra, tackles these two issues and gives me some extra features that I didn’t think would be important for me. It’s been a surprisingly fun experience. Here’s why I shifted to the Galaxy S24 Ultra from the iPhone 15 Pro and decided to stay on it. And no, it has nothing to do with AI.

I love my Apple Watch, but it pisses me off every single day

I’m in a dysfunctional relationship with my Apple Watch, and it’s only getting worse.

I love that it gives me quick access to Siri. I love that I’ve almost never missed a phone call since I started wearing it. I love being able to glance at a text message and know if I need to respond quickly or if I can ignore it (like I do with its constant reminders to stand up).
