The Morning After Engadget
Bose is ready to design an entirely new design if the existing wireless earbuds don't seem to be working for you. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds don't go in or over your ear canal. Getspout Instead, they sit on top of it, allowing you to get the audio while still hearing the sounds of everything happening around you.
The design looks a little awkward compared to other buds however Bose promises that they'll remain well-placed in all weather conditions, with clear, loud audio that you can enjoy without broadcasting it out to the rest of the world. I'll have to read reviews from one of our audio experts before I trust fully in what it's offering, but the possibility of a headset with an improved fit is definitely worth a try.

The next-generation Tile tracker may make use of ultrawideband technology
AR might be used to track it. While we are still waiting for dedicated tracker tags from Apple or Samsung, Tile is working to keep it competitive. According to TechCrunch the company is developing an application that uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology instead of Bluetooth to help locate lost objects. UWB has a number of advantages over Bluetooth: Its high-frequency waves can transmit spatial and directional data which makes it more accurate at tracking the position of devices and tags.
