Samsung may have launched more smartwatches than just about any other company I’m aware of to date. But the company isn’t putting all its wearable eggs into one basket.
The company is launching a new activity tracker called the Charm in Korea, Italy, France, and Russia.
The Samsung Charm is smaller than the company’s smartwatches, offers up to 14 days of battery life from a tiny 17 mAh battery, and comes in three color options: gold, black, and “rose quartz,” which most of us would probably call pink.

The Federal Communications Commission recently adopted rules that required makers of WiFi routers to prohibit users to change some parameters of their devices. And some device makers have decided that the simplest way to comply with those rules is to prevent users from replacing their router’s firmware with third-party alternatives such as OpenWRT or DD-WRT.
But according to Ars Technicathat Linksys is taking a different approach.
Linksys is reportedly working with the developers of OpenWRT and chip-maker Marvell to make sure that users can install OpenWRT while still ensuring that users cannot make changes that the FCC says could cause interference with other wireless devices.
