Get the world's thinnest portable mobile charger in the Jackery Air

When I first saw the Jackery Air on Kickstarter , I thought it looked like every other portable charger. That is, until the picture of it side by side with the iPhone 5 came up. This charger is as thin as the iPhone 5 and looks to be nearly the same width and height as well, with one end tapering down to nearly half the thickness of an iPhone 5. Delving deeper, the Jackery Air comes in two models: the 2800 mAh and 5000 mAh. Both are orange and weigh around 5 ounces apiece.  When not in use, the Jackery Air claims to hold its charge for 6 months. The lightweight aluminum frame provides durability without sacrificing weight.

As contract phones approach 60% in China, Meizu cries foul, calls preinstalled carrier apps 'a pile of garbage'

Just a few years ago Chinese carriers exercised very little control over mobile phone market. Most of mobile phones were sold without carrier contracts and subsidies, through third party retail channels. This gave the rise to incredible innovation in Chinese mobile phones, with hundreds of cellphone factories operating out of Shenzhen district. It also facilitated the rise of the emerging Chinese brands like Meizu, Xiaomi, Oppo and Coolpad.

But as Chinese carriers rolled out 3G networks, to promote smartphone and mobile data use, they introduced contracts and subsidies, and started gradually taking over mobile phone sales channels.

Verizon tries to clear out Droid DNA and Incredible 4G inventory. HTC One launch getting closer?

Verizon has officially confirmed – on June 3 – that it would carry the HTC One "this summer." We haven't heard new details on that since then, but Droid-life is now reporting that Verizon stores are pushing to clear out remaining inventory of the HTC Droid DNA (available since November 2012) and HTC Droid Incredible 4G (released in June 2012). This should give customers hopes that it won't be long until the new HTC One arrives. Verizon didn't mention how much its HTC One would cost.

London, 18.06.13UCi2i, the cloud-based Video Managed Service Provider, has today revealed it is giving away free video calling services with every Virtual Meeting Room.

Currently the trend has been to ramp up the number of seats in Virtual Meeting Rooms, some even more than 20 seats, overlooking other important factors. Rarely do such large meetings occur in the real world.

Meet TVR's new owner and learn his plans for the future

It's hard not to be worried about the reborn TVR. The company's new owner, entrepreneur Les Edgar, recently sat down with PistonHeads to discuss his plans for the fabled brand. Unfortunately, Edgar was no less dodgy about the future of TVR in his latest interview than he has been in the past. Evasive on everything from what the TVR brand means to him to which of the company's cars he's owned in the past, the former video game developer is either the most cautious individual to ever get into the automotive manufacturing game or is woefully unprepared for his new undertaking.
