$300 is a lot to spend on a clunky watch that shows your incoming messages and counts your steps, but if the Galaxy Gear‘s price tag has kept you from picking up the wearable device you’re in luck. The smartwatch is now available on eBay for just $249.99 with free shipping. The discounted Gear may be refurbished, but the seller, All4Cellular, promises it’s “like new” and “in perfect cosmetic condition.” The seller also has a 99 percent positive feedback rating.
The Galaxy Gear comes equipped with a 1.6-inch 320 x 320 display, a 800MHz processor, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, a 315mAh battery, and features a built-in speaker, microphones and a 1.9-megapixel camera. Samsung’s first major smartwatch runs a heavily modified version of Android, and is only available in white or black if you want to take advantage of this eBay discount.
We aren’t huge fans of the Galaxy Gear, and it seems likely Samsung will release an updated version in early 2014. However, if you just can’t wait then this is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the wearable device. Just make sure you have a phone that works with the smartwatch, which at this point includes the Galaxy S III, S4, Note II and Note 3.

When it comes to the mobile industries, Apple's reputation proceeds it, Even if you are not a fan of theirs nor own any of their many device, it's hard not to be impressed by what they produce each year.
Ipad mini saw a top mark as one of the most accurate touchscreens among other tablets within its space as of 2012,
But seems the story isn't much of a the same this year around when in a touchscreen test, Samsung's Galaxy s3 smart-phone beat Apple's iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. The test was conducted by a finnish company named OptoFidelity, which's specialized in measuring automation and machine vision. The team used a device it calls "WatchDog" in testing the accuracy oand responce of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c touchscreen panel and compairing the result to Galaxy S3.
The finial result showed a disappointing result on Apple side with most part of its touchscreen panel having an inaccuracy above 1mm represented by the red areas, whereas the Galaxy S3 is much more uniform with most part of it's touchscreen panel inacuracy rating below 1mm.
But the test also comfirms Apple's latest phones are a great deal faster than the Galaxy S3, of which is not much of a shocker.Their performance tests captured the speed of both the camera and the browser, revealing that both the 64-bit iPhone 5S and the A5-powered iPhone 5C are noticeably faster when it comes to launching applications like the camera.
