Motorola's Moto E4 Plus might have an absurdly large battery \| TechRadar http://www.techradar.com/news/motorolas ... ge-battery Even the battery life in my G4 is great, and it got even better with the Nougat update. I'm quite a fan of Lenovo and it's offshoots. The Lenovo Yoga tablets are amongst the best Androids IMO.

And IME, the Echo should never have been released in it's current state. Shouting from an obscure angle after you've followed the BS placing instructions? GTFO.

Virgin Media has started turning customer routers into public Wi-Fi spots \| TechRadar http://www.techradar.com/news/virgin-me ... i-fi-spots I never understand these ideas... Surely if you need Wi-Fi these days you're in your own house, a friend's, or in the town... all of which usually have it. How often are you likely to need to connect to it near a stranger's house? ...

Bringing anything, other than a telephone, into the house with a microphone is grounds for divorce here...

I'm not even allowed to use the 2nd remote control or the app on my smartphone to control the TV - there is 1 remote control and that is enough...

They've been doing solar energy for about 2 years now. They bought out his cousin's company, SolarCity, last summer, but had been doing a deal with SolarCity for Tesla car buyers in the US before that.

But they still don't support the phones for long. They announced 2 weeks ago, that Nexus and Pixel devices will be supported with new software versions for 18 months, after that, they go on 6 months life support (security patches). Regular updates, especially security patches are the reason why I bought a Nexus last time, but I won't be buying Android again...

No idea what I will get next time, I won't get Android or iOS and Windows Mobile has no market share, therefore a dearth of apps...
