Weekly output: Android updates, disposable tech, Starlink Mobile, AST SpaceMobile

I got back from MWC Barcelona Thursday, and this coming Friday I’m off to Austin for SXSW. I’m returning to that talkfest after a year off because for the first time since 2019, I’ll be contributing to the banter on the program–I’m moderating a panel about, of all things, video-game culture.

3/3/2026: Android Gets Location-Tracking Features That iOS Users Have Had for Ages, PCMag

This was the only post I had a client publish this week that I easily could have written from home. Instead, I filed it from the press room at MWC Barcelona–and then a late clarification from a Google publicist required me to send a revised paragraph to my editor in a Slack message I sent from the Barcelona metro.

3/4/2026: Slow Tech Uprising, Back Market

I moderated this panel about disposable tech at an event hosted by Back Market that also featured a screening of Dandora: A Fast Tech Story, a short film produced by that refurbished-gadgets marketplace. With four other people on stage–Joy Howard, Back Market’s chief marketing officer; Alexander Kuscher, a senior director for ChromeOS at Google; Carolina Milanesi, president and principal analyst at Creative Strategies; and Gaia Vince, a science writer–the 40 minutes allotted for our conversation before taking audience questions went by fast.

3/4/2026: At MWC, SpaceX execs tout Starlink V2 – and a key carrier partner for it, Light Reading

My telecom trade-pub client asked me to cover SpaceX’s portion of this keynote Monday. The rest of my schedule that day, combined with jet lag leaving me in a sleep-deprived haze, meant I had to finish writing it Tuesday, but that extra time also allowed me to get a quick demo of Starlink’s wireless emergency alert system from a few SpaceX executives at the company’s MWC exhibit.

3/4/2026: AST SpaceMobile Has Big Cellular Satellite Plans for 2026. Can It Deliver?, PCMag

My last appointment on the show floor Tuesday was with AST president and chief strategy officer Scott Wisniewski, who talked about that satellite startup’s plans to bring a direct-to-cell service to market this year for carriers including AT&T and Verizon. For that to happen, both AST and its launch providers will need to step up their pace dramatically.

Lilbits: A new modular PC input device, Google brings even more AI to Pixel phones, Apple’s $230 knit iPhone holder

Over the past few years I’ve seen a couple of different widescreen touchscreen displays that are designed to be used as both a second screen and an input device for a computer. But the UltraBar X stands out for its unusual, modular design.

At its most basic, this device is just another 7 inch ultrawide touchscreen display that connects to a computer. But that’s just the core module. There are […]

Google odświeża Pixele. Nowy wygląd, inteligentne słuchawki i mapy na zegarku w nowej aktualizacji

Zgodnie z zapowiedzią, Google udostępniło wrześniową aktualizację dla urządzeń z rodziny Pixel, znaną jako „Pixel Drop”.

Wprowadza ona szereg nowości i ulepszeń dla smartfonów, słuchawek i zegarków. Wśród kluczowych zmian znalazł się odświeżony interfejs Material 3 Expressive dla starszych modeli, inteligentna funkcja Adaptive Audio dla słuchawek Pixel Buds Pro 2 oraz automatyczne wyświetlanie wskazówek z Map Google na zegarku Pixel Watch.

Najbardziej widoczną zmianą jest udostępnienie interfejsu Material 3 Expressive, znanego z najnowszych telefonów Pixel 10, starszym urządzeniom. Aktualizacja trafi na smartfony począwszy od modelu Pixel 6, a także na Pixel Tablet. Użytkownicy zyskają dzięki niej nowe możliwości personalizacji, takie jak efekty na żywo dla tapety na ekranie blokady, pozwalające dodawać animacje kształtów czy efekty pogodowe. Przebudowie uległ także panel Szybkich Ustawień, a aplikacja Telefonu zyskała nowe opcje dostosowywania wyglądu.

Inteligentny dźwięk w słuchawkach Pixel Buds Pro 2

Jeszcze w tym miesiącu posiadacze słuchawek Pixel Buds Pro 2 otrzymają aktualizację wprowadzającą funkcję Adaptive Audio. Dzięki niej słuchawki będą mogły inteligentnie dostosowywać się do dźwięków otoczenia, pozwalając zachować świadomość tego, co dzieje się wokół, bez przerywania słuchania muzyki czy podcastu.

Dodatkowo, funkcja Loud Noise Protection ma zapewnić dodatkową ochronę słuchu. Uaktualnienie ma także poprawić jakość rozmów z Asystentem Gemini w hałaśliwym otoczeniu oraz wprowadzić możliwość odbierania połączeń lub odrzucania odpowiedzi na wiadomości za pomocą gestów głowy – skinienia lub potrząśnięcia.

Mapy Google bez użycia rąk na Pixel Watch

Aktualizacja przynosi również znaczące udogodnienie dla użytkowników zegarków Pixel Watch. Od teraz, po uruchomieniu nawigacji pieszej lub rowerowej w telefonie, wskazówki z Map Google będą automatycznie wyświetlane na ekranie smartwatcha. Cały proces ma odbywać się bez konieczności dotykania zegarka czy ponownego wyjmowania telefonu z kieszeni, zapewniając w pełni bezobsługową nawigację z poziomu nadgarstka.

Proces udostępniania aktualizacji rozpoczyna się już dziś, jednak Google zaznacza, że będzie on przebiegał stopniowo w ciągu najbliższych kilku tygodni, w zależności od urządzenia i operatora sieci komórkowej.

Google Pixel Watch 4 z rewolucyjną funkcją zdrowia. To jedyny zegarek, który wykryje utratę tętna
