Review: Papago's GoSafe 520 Dash Cam

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dashboard cameras have become a popular accessory and security feature for drivers who want to have video proof in the event of an accident or help ward off would-be car thieves or vandals.

The variety of dash cams in the market range from cheap, low-resolution models that might simply be videocameras designed to be mounted on a windshield. While these serve to capture video, they lack clarity and have limited range. 

I tested Papago's GoSafe 520 dash cam, which is the flagship model boasting a 2K resolution and 21:9 ultra-wide video. The widest range of view at 146° covers no just what is ahead but even extends to what is on the side.

Apple Watch pre-orders to begin on April 10 at 12:01 AM Pacific Time

Apple just announced that online pre-orders for Apple Watch will start at 12:01 AM Pacific Time (3:01 AM Eastern) on Friday, April 10. Canadians interested in getting their Apple Watch and bands online for in-store pick up or delivery can place their pre-orders here, Apple Watch should be shipping by April 24, so anyone who wants to make sure their Apple Watch arrives on the 24th will want to set their alarm clocks early on the morning of April 10th.

Apple will take orders through its website and through its Apple Store app on the iPhone. 

Google's going retail with a new online store as well as a physical pop-up store

Google has taken the wraps off a new online store to sell its various wares as well as a store-within-a-store in the UK. The new online store seems to have replaced the Google Play Devices section and now features various Nexus products and accessories as well as some Nest connected home sensors and whatever recent Android Wear smartwatches are available. Google supposedly outed the store when it announced the new Chromebook Pixel 2 but as I went to the Buy Now link on the Pixel's page I got a 404 Error page.

As for the store within a store, it will be housed within London's Currys PC World and will allow guests to sample Android and Chrome products as well as various technologies. This is an interesting move by Google, perhaps one that will grow into more pop-up locations and eventually full-fledged retail destinations like what Apple and Microsoft now have, who knows.
