End of the line: Tesco won’t make another Hudl tablet

Supermarket giant Tesco made a huge dent in the Android tablet market with their across-the-board high-scoring budget Hudl and Hudl 2 tablets.

The Hudl 2, currently £99, was a huge success but Tesco has now announced that’s it and their tablet days are over.

Support for existing Hudl tablets will continue but there’s no new designated for the creation of a Hudl 3.

They’ve gone out on a high, with their 8.3-inch HD tablets making their way into almost a million UK homes and setting a standard for low-cost tablets.

Star Wars fever charges up with R2-D2 USB wall socket power charger

The force is getting stronger – not long until a new Star Wars movie is upon us.

As such, a new flurry of tie-ins are emerging. Recently we had these cool Star Wars Bluetooth speakers, now R2-D2 is here to charge your phone and tablets.

The R2-D2 wall charger has two USB ports: a 1A socket and a 2.1A port, which gives a bigger output for tablets and the like.

The wall-bound R2 measures 3.5 x 2 x 1.3 inches and is available here.

Honest review about Flymemo HV-600 headset

These are some light weight bluetooth earbuds that I got to use with my Samsung Note 4 phone. They are light weight and sweat proof and connected to my phone without any problems. I just connected them as I would any other bluetooth device and they were connected in less than a minute. Unlike other similar style headphones, the controls are on the ear bud part - not hanging down on the cord. Also, these hook around my ears comfortably for wear.
I found that these provide a nice sound quality. I was able to hear the person on the line clearly as they could hear me. It does not really cancel out background noise, but there was no static interfering with my call either. There is a built in mic as well which makes hands free calling rather simple. I love the ability to control the volume and/or skip music tracks with these as well so I don't have to fool with my phone; particularly if I'm using this while driving. Plus these allow for up to 5 hours of continuous talk time and up to 120 hours of standby time (when you're not using them). Overall this is a nice headset and I'm rather impressed with it. I would honestly recommend it.
