The BlackBerry DTEK60 and DTEK50 have both received a price cut. The former normally retails for $499 but can now be yours for $449 and if you prefer the DTEK50 instead, you’ll be happy to hear that you can now get it for $259, which is $40 off its regular price.

LG G6 Very little remains unknown about the LG G6, the company’s 2017 flagship smartphone being unveiled on February 26 ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.And thanks to planning material reviewed by VentureBeat, one of the last pieces of the puzzle — the release timeframe — is falling into place. Consumers in LG’s home country of South Korea won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the all-metal, IP68-compliant handset, with sales set to begin on March 9. U.S. residents, however, will need to wait for another month before carriers begin offering the device, on April 7. LG is in a tough position this year for several reasons. While the G-series has proven popular in years past, G6 comes on the heels of a rare misstep for the line, the poorly selling LG G5. Lack of interest in the so-called “modular handset,” with its handful of clip-on accessories, forced LG to pivot away from modularity with the G6. But the biggest problem for LG, the one that is surely

The LG G6 is slated to be revealed on February 26 at this year’s Mobile World Congress, but we didn’t know exactly when it would become available to buy. Reliable leaker Evan Blass from VentureBeat suggests that its US launch will likely happen on April 7, shortly after its rumored Korean launch on March 9. This target date gives LG a head-start over its domestic rival Samsung, whose Galaxy S8 is expected to launch on April 21. Not that it’ll be easy for LG. One particularly worrisome rumor is that Samsung is hoarding Qualcomm’s most powerful chips for itself. According to Qualcomm, the upcoming Snapdragon 835 is up to 27 percent faster or uses 40 percent less battery, depending on how the device is being used. It also offers 20 percent faster charging  and  takes up 35 percent less space. How much the average consumer cares about such specs is another matter altogether. Instead of competing line by line on specs, leaks suggest LG has doubled-down on design with its new device,

The end of the year isn’t merely the end of the financial year for many companies, it’s also the time when many people take a few extra days off. And the two entangle each other in a sort of ROI tango many people are afraid of. Will you reach your quarterly goals? Will you end the year in the black? And especially for publishers like us, can you cut through the holiday noise and keep reader engagement up? That’s always an overarching question for media companies. When readership flatlines and employees need a much deserved break, just how do you make the most of what you have? And this is where data comes in handy. Data analytics tools can help companies improve operational efficiency, drive new revenue, and gain the competitive advantage over business rivals.

The subscription model for software isn’t new. Companies like Netflix and Spotify have enjoyed success while easing users into a highly effective business model. Just look at the success of some software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies – looking at you   DropBox  and  Salesforce  – offering monthly or annual service subscriptions and pulling in multi-billion valuations.  It’s more evident than ever that customers prefer subscriptions. According to a 2013 Economist study,  four out of every five businesses (that’s 80 percent for those of us who don’t do math) are seeing a change in how their customers want to access and pay for goods and services. And as a result, over half of these same companies are changing their pricing models. So while people are still gung-ho on owning software, and businesses are being bashful about switching to the business model, fact is, companies are jumping into the subscription space and experiencing incredible growth. Before you end up with the tides of
