No. 4: Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Make no bones about it: the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a giant phone. With a 5.7-inch display, it makes even 5-inch phones like the Nexus 5 look small, not to mention the iPhone 5S. And that’s exactly what some folks like. And for some, like those who want to jot down information on their […]

Behind the B15: The design process of Caterpillar’s rugged smartphone
Just a couple of weeks ago, Caterpillar launched a pretty surprising new product. Not a dozer or an excavator, but a phone. A very rugged smartphone. And to much excitement, I might add.
