Microsoft’s next-gen Treasure Tag pictured at FCC

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Sometimes it takes a while for new mobile tech to catch on. Like with smartwatches: we had smartwatches in various incarnations for a while now, but it’s only been for the past couple years that the tech and underlying ecosystems behind these wearables made them really convenient and useful. One product type that hasn’t quite gotten there yet, and is still a bit of a tough sell for a lot of us, is the Bluetooth fob: a little battery-powered token that can be attached to objects you want to keep better track of with the help of your smartphone. We’ve seen efforts like the ...

If you are prone to losing things, and own a Bluetooth 4.0 device you keep with you at all times, listen up.

We first heard of the Nokia Treasure Tag some seven months ago, and even all the way back then, its functionality was perfectly clear: a little battery-powered pendant that could be attached to your keys (or anything else you didn’t want to lose), and remained in contact with your phone by means of Bluetooth Low Energy – get too far out of range, and your phone would warn you. In the months that followed, renders of the device leaked, and despite an ...

What ever happened to the Nokia Treasure Tag?

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Remember the Nokia Treasure Tag? We’ll forgive you if it doesn’t ring a bell, as it’s been a long time since we’ve had the opportunity to talk about the accessory. It first popped up on our radar all the way back in late July, where it was revealed as a Bluetooth LE accessory that could apparently be used alongside your phone to help you track down objects; leave a Treasure Tag on your keychain, and you’d never lose it again.

Nokia World rumor roundup: what to expect from Abu Dhabi

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Apple’s not the only one with big news coming soon, and in just a matter of hours, Nokia’s throwing a Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. There’s a lot to cover here, so let’s dive right in to the device that feels like it’s the nexus of this announcement, the Lumia 1520. Well, it wasn’t always the 1520 – not to us anyway. We’ve been talking about the general idea of a phablet-sized Lumia for a while, and back in August, that started taking shape as a phone codenamed Bandit. Before the month was out, ...
