The HTC Vive is one of the most anticipated virtual reality (VR) headsets to come to market this year, and the final build was on display and available to try out on the show floor at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. I can say that the unit should be ready for primetime when it officially launches in April.

Wearable technology has become a huge trend in recent years, especially when it comes to fitness trackers. In fact, when I think of my circle of friends, I’d have to say that at least half of them wear one at all times. I’ve yet to jump on the fitness tracker bandwagon, but when I was asked to review the Razer Nabu Smartband, I was all for it!
