When we first learned about the Galaxy Note 7 issues with batteries we thought Samsung had acted the right way: they acknowledge the problem and initiated a massive recall. The problem seemed to be clear, so the solution was pretty easy: replace the battery, that’s it. Or is it? Recent events have proven that this was …
Lucas Matney on TechCrunch: At a company event today in San Francisco, Samsung President & Chief Strategy Officer Young Sohn detailed that the company is actively pursuing both smartphone-focused VR headsets and standalone solutions.

As of now, smartwatches are the revolution that never was, but maybe they were just too early to the party. Maybe they’re waiting their moment. Walt Mossberg talks about his experience with the Apple Watch on his last column …
As an owner of a Google Cardboard model, I had doubts about how Samsung Gear VR could really make a difference when the experience should depend more on the mobile phone than on the mobile VR glasses themselves. In fact, to me the Samsung Gear VR weren’t nothing else than a expensive, pretty version of the …
