FEATURED — Connecting my life: The smart card that finally let me ditch my wallet
Smart, connected cards like the Stratos card are not the future. It’s important that I clarify that right off the bat. These cards offer some very cool functionality, allowing users to store the swipe information from all of their credit cards, debit cards and more on a single device, and then select which card to use on the fly.
In time, however, these cards will be made completely obsolete — even once they adopt newer chip and PIN technology. Mobile payment services like Apple Pay will eventually be adopted more widely, and smart cards will become obsolete.
But with that having been said, we’re still many, many years from seeing mobile payment services reach those levels of adoption. In the meantime, the new Stratos card is here today, and it has allowed me to completely ditch my wallet.

Get excited: Tons of third-party Apple Watch bands are on the way
While most Apple products don’t offer a lot in the way of aesthetic variety, the Apple Watch is understandably a completely different beast. Despite housing a myriad of advanced and complex technologies, the Apple Watch remains, at its core, a piece of jewelry.
Apple, to its credit, understood this from the very beginning. As a result, the Apple Watch was introduced in an assortment of styles, not to mention two different sizes. Yet because the range of fashion styles is somewhat endless, not to mention prone to ebbs and flows in popularity, Apple has wisely chosen to allow third-party manufacturers to develop their own watch bands for the Apple Watch.

One M9 seemingly no match for Galaxy S6 as HTC sales plummet in April
Launching a new flagship smartphone on the same day Samsung released its new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge handsets seemed like a fool’s errand for HTC, and now that the numbers are in, it appears safe to say our assumptions were spot on.
While there’s no question that the HTC One M9 is a fantastic phone, most Android fans didn’t view it as a significant upgrade compared to last year’s One M8. As a result, the new phone hardly provided the sales boost HTC was hoping for, and the company’s revenue plummeted in April.

New iPad Pro might not be enough to save Apple’s declining tablet sales
As recent quarters have shown, Apple’s tablet sales aren’t as spectacular as they used to be, yet the company is still selling millions of iPads each quarter. And sales aren’t expected to pick up anytime soon, a new report from Digitimes says. According to sources from Apple’s supply chain, iPad shipments will be down over 20% in 2015 compared to last year, even though Apple is expected to launch new tablet versions this year, including a “revised” 7.9-inch iPad mini 4 and a bigger 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
