OnePlus Pad 2 One Month Later: What’s it REALLY like?

One month later! Are Android Tablets GOOD now?

Now that I’ve spent more time with the keyboard and stylus, I feel we can put more of a conclusion on the OnePlus Pad 2.

Well… not the COMPLETE conclusion though, as we still have to wait for the AI stuff to arrive. Jeez… This is getting complicated.

We’re not ready for ID’s on our phones…

It’s a convenience, but one that needs safeguarding.

Californians can now keep a digital copy of their driver’s license in Google Wallet. I believe this is an important step in making identity easier to verify, and these tools might eventually be more accessible than the way we require carrying physical cards.

It is a technology I think will be useful, and I’m happy to see some babysteps towards improving the experience. It’s an important improvement over  carrying grocery store membership cards. Continue reading “We’re not ready for ID’s on our phones…”

Pixel Watch 2 vs OnePlus Watch 2 vs TicWatch Enduro Long Term Comparison: The “OTHER” Wear OS Smartwatches!

If you’re shopping a full featured smartwatch (especially in North America) chances are pretty good the bulk of sales are going to Apple and Samsung. However, if you want more features than on a fitness tracking watch, there are a handful of other players to consider.

The Other Brands

We’re going to take a look at three players for this comparison:
