	Hands-on: 48 hours with the Apple Watch It's seemed like a long wait from when rumors of the Apple Watch first emerged two years ago to April 10, 2015, when Apple began accepting pre-orders. I was one of the lucky early purchasers and my Watch has finally arrived. So was all that anticipation worth it? I bought the 42mm stainless steel model with the black sports band for $599 (the smaller 38mm model costs $50 less); it arrived four days after the official April 24 ship date. Currently, orders placed online show a June ship date, and the devices are expected to be available in Apple stores in June.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WEBCAST: Workfront The State of Enterprise Work According to a new study by Workfront, enterprise workers are being pulled away from their work by tools and practices that are supposed to make them more productive.

View now ZTE's bezel-less phone tosses away black border for more touchscreen function Will bezel-less phones be the next big thing?China’s ZTE certainly thinks so. On Wednesday, the company’s Nubia brand unveiled the Z9, a product that comes without the black border found on so many smartphone screens.I had a chance to try out the device, and found both pros and cons with the product. On the plus side, the Z9 truly is a bezel-free device. The 5.2-inch screen extends across the glass surface from edge to edge, where it curves down to meet the phone’s protective metal frame.As a result, the phone does feel a bit more compact in terms of its width, which measures 68.3mm (2.7 inches). Some might be concerned that the lack of bezels will make the phone hard to use. Touchscreens, after all, tend to be sensitive, and any over-gripping could be misread as actual inputs.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Hands on: Office 2016 preview focuses on data-gathering and collaboration in the cloud Office 2016 could still learn a few things from Google Docs, but its business-intelligence features show a lot of promise.
