Nokia sells Digital Health back to Withings (Update: Withings brand will return)

Update 5/31/2018 at 10:53 A.M. EST: Engadget   reported today that the Nokia Health Brand – recently purchased back from original owner Withings, as described in the article below – will re-brand back to Withings by the end of the year. Current Nokia-branded products will remain for sale, but by 2019 Nokia Health products and software will fly under the Withings banner. Withings also stated it will begin developing new products for release soon. Original Article:  Things haven’t gone very well for Nokia’s re-branding of Withings as Nokia Digital Health. Now, it looks like Nokia is selling the Digital Health arm of the company to a surprising buyer: Éric Carreel, the co-founder of Withings. Nokia didn’t reveal the terms of the deal. But judging from the history of the Nokia-Withings business, Nokia likely gave the brand away for a song.

Dutch court rules Samsung can legally neglect to update your smartphone

Image
A Dutch court case against Samsung ended with Samsung the victor. The case was over Samsung’s spotty history of updating its smartphones with the latest security patches. The judge in the case ruled that Samsung is under no legal obligation to update its smartphones. A Dutch court today ruled in favor of Samsung when it comes to issuing smartphone updates. Samsung – the defendant in the trial – was accused by a consumer advocacy group of neglecting to keep the software of Samsung smartphones up-to-date for a reasonable length of time. The ruling, via The BBC , gives Samsung free reign to neglect issuing security updates to its smartphones without any legal penalty. The Dutch trial has been running for over two years now , with the famous consumer advocacy group Consumentenbond pushing to force Samsung into keeping all of its smartphones up-to-date with security patches for a full two years after the device is sold. The loss of this case is a disappointing outcome globally

Soyinka spoke at the 60th birthday colloquium of the Executive Editor, The News/PM News, Mr. Kunle Ajibade entitled: “A Brighter Future for Nigeria and how to get there.” Prof. Wole Soyinka said: “If we can solve issues of corruption, we will also be addressing cases of election rigging. This is because there is a direct nexus between that level of corruption and the degradation of democratic process that we have witnessed in the country. “If we had solved the cases properly, it would have helped curb corruption and solve the issue of democratic failure in Nigeria.” While speaking on his thinking before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, prosecuted former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun, Soyinka hinted that he believed top echelon in the force were untouchable.

Review Fitbit Versa review: Not the smartest smartwatch, but still pretty great If you were disappointed by Fitbit's first smartwatch offering, you aren't alone. Many had high expectations for the Ionic, but it was too expensive and bulky to appeal to a wide audience. Fitbit knows this, … In our written review , Jimmy described the Versa as a decent enough smartwatch and a better fitness tracker, saved by the grace of an entry-level price.
