Of course, as you’re using something that’s pretty similar to a remote control, the benefits aren’t as clear as when using the phone proper. You can also use it to control the camera shutter, to act as a Powerpoint presentation controller, and to read your latest notifications. The numbers also light-up, letting you use the Mini in the dark pretty easily. HTC Mini: First Impressions The HTC Mini is mini phone controller to stop you having to take out your giant smartphone too often. Of course, this only makes any sense if your phone is prohibitively large.
And as the HTC One Max hasn’t arrived yet, HTC doesn’t really have any phones large enough to merit this gadget. Plus, while it’s small, its retro phone style means it’s not teeny tiny itself. It’s about as ‘must have’ as an motorised toast rack, but we were pleasantly surprised by the build quality of the Mini .

The Withings Pulse is an activity tracker that joins the Fitbit One, Jawbone Up and Nike Fuelband in the quest to get you into shape. This is Withing’s first attempt at a wearable device but this not territory by any means. On a larger scale Withings has already launched the Smart Body Analyzer and blood pressure monitors. The Fitbit One is a tracker laden with features we’ve seen before, but has a few more tracking tricks to pack into the small body.

Withings Pulse – Design The matte black Pulse is a tiny little thing and looks like the spawn of a Nokia Lumia and an iPod Shuffle. It weighs the same as the Fitbit One at a supremely light 8g and is 8mm thick, making it as slim as a smartphone. Like the Fitbit One, there’s a variety of ways to wear the Pulse. The easiest way is to simply slip it into your pocket.
The most secure method is to use the clip with a clamp-like grip to clip it on a trouser waistband or onto a shirt. At the heart of the Pulse’s controls is the OLED touch surface that boasts a not so great 128 x 32 pixel resolution. Here you can see the data and swipe right to see activity data from the last 14 days. It also responds to gentle presses to activate sleep tracking and heart rate monitor modes. Elsewhere, there’s a single on/off button, a micro USB charging port and the heart rate sensor at the back.
Inside the box you’ll find the micro USB charging cable and a Velcro wristband that looks very similar to the one included with the Fitbit One. The Pulse is extremely light and we’d recommend wearing it with the clip. You’d never notice if it went missing from your pocket. Withings Pulse – Features A pedometer is at the heart of the Withings Pulse. Using a MEMS 3-axis accelerometer, the Pulse can track steps walked, elevation, calories burned and sleep.
Additionally it can measure running distance with the run detection mode. This is activated by the Pulse as soon as you begin to pick up the pace. One thing that the Pulse has over its rivals is the ability to monitor heart rate straight from the device. The importance of that information is that it will tell you whether you are working hard or not hard enough.
The Pulse uses an Opotoelectronics sensor that flashes green and red LEDs against the finger to generate the reading. Getting enough kip is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle so like the Fitbit and the Jawbone Up, the Pulse can monitor sleep quality. Once you swipe down on the crescent moon icon on the touch surface, the timer begins and all you need to do is slip it into the wristband. When you wake up in the morning, a simple tap on the screen will tell you how much of the recommended eight hours of sleep you’ve managed in a percentage.
