Sony Releases the WH-1000XM3 Headphones


The company has recently released a new $350 pair of headphones, which makes my trusty old cans look and sound really ugly. They support wired and wireless connections and implement an advanced noise cancellation mechanism that does an amazing job.

5G Antennas and Gadgets are Coming


Okay, so high-gain antennas are already here. And yet, even though antennas like these are optimized for high-density VOIP and/or media streaming, mobile operators haven't launched too many 5G smartphones yet. It's true that next-gen phones such as Galaxy S10, OnePlus 7 and a few more devices are coming soon, and they'll hopefully fill in the gap.

The next generation of cellular technology is supposed to provide greater speeds, enhance coverage and decrease latency. It is known that 4G networks have a latency of about 20 milliseconds, while 5G technologies will be able to send your requests to the network in less than a millisecond.

Turn Your iPad Pro into a MacBook


Accessory maker Brydge has recently posted an interesting tweet. The image shows an iPad Pro accessory which will turn your beloved tablet into a... laptop. It's been demonstrated that some iPads are more powerful than the average notebooks, so it makes sense to build a dock/keyboard like that.

We don't know too many details about the product yet, but it looks like the dock will have an aluminum finish and nicely spaced out keyboard keys. According to Brydge, the device will start shipping in the first quarter of 2019. If you want to find out more, you can sign up for the company's newsletter.
