Microsoft introduces massive 84-inch Surface Hub wall for businesses

While it would probably be great to have a gigantic 4K 84-inch Surface display at home, the recently introduced Microsoft Surface Hub is made for businesses. It helps facilitate meetings in offices. If you want to see it in action, you’ll have to head to a Microsoft Store later this summer. It’ll probably be on display when we’re closer to the Windows 10 launch. You can see the Surface Hub in action in the video above.

BlackBerry introduces security-geared tablet

BlackBerry might not have had much luck with the PlayBook tablet. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to stop trying. The brand has teamed up with Samsung and IBM to introduce the SecuTABLET. It’s a modified Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 with high-grade security features from SecuSMART, a company acquired by BlackBerry last year.

This is obviously an enterprise-geared device with the features it has. Users are assured security of corporate or even government data, while being able to use it for personal apps and the like. But it comes at a rather high cost though. The tablet will cost around US$2,360. But for corporate use, that high cost might seem like a sound investment, security-wise.
