Update: Android Wear 2.0 now rolling out to Fossil Q Founder, Q Wander and Q Marshal

Update (3/15): If you’re the owner of a Fossil Q Founder, Q Wander or Q Marshal smartwatch, you’ll be happy to hear that Android Wear 2.0 is on its way to your device. To check for the update manually, head to Settings>About>System updates.
Have you received the update yet? If so, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Android Wear 2.0 has only been around for a few weeks now, and if you don’t have the LG Watch Sport or Style, you probably haven’t had much experience with it quite yet. Plenty of smartwatch manufacturers have announced plans to upgrade their existing watches to version 2.0, but so far, no OEM has delivered the update. That’s changing very soon.
Just as we expected, Fossil has confirmed that it will begin rolling out Android Wear 2.0 to all its existing watches on Wednesday, March 15 (tomorrow). This news comes in response to a user on Twitter, curious about when the update will arrive for the Q Founder. Even though it isn’t stated in the tweet below, Fossil has previously confirmed that all Fossil Android Wear watches will get the update in mid-March. That means the Fossil Q Founder, Q Marshal and Q Wander.
In addition to the Fossil rollout, the TAG Heuer Connected – that $1,500 Android Wear watch that launched in 2015 – is also getting the 2.0 treatment before the end of March. That’s just two weeks away.
It’s worth noting that this is the original Connected smartwatch we’re talking about here, not the new Connected Modular. That new luxury smartwatch already runs Android Wear 2.0 out of the box.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

Instagram only gives you one opportunity to link to outside resources inside its photo sharing platform.

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
