A T-Rex will be launched at CES 2020

If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Is this the reason we'll see a T-Rex launched at CES 2020?

Unsurprisingly, no. Sadly, we're not in for a Jurassic Park moment becoming reality during the first week of January, rather it'll be a new product from Chinese wearable manufacturer Huami - who is behind the 'Amazfit' line of devices.

We've been given a teaser of the name thanks to a Weibo post from the firm, which shows the silhouette of the iconic dinosaur against a camouflaged background.

TechRadar has been told that the T-Rex will be 'specializing in outdoor features', but no further information has been provided at this time.

Previous rumors suggested that the firm may be working on a smart shoe, but Huami founder Wang Huang has since come out and said this is not the case, although the product will be, in some way, related to shoes.

Three new devices incoming

While CES 2020 officially kicks off on January 7 (press conferences start on Jan 5), - with Huami saying the T-Rex will be one of three new devices it has at the show (the others being a smartwatch and true wireless earbuds respectively) - we may find out more on the T-Rex ahead of time.

The initial Amazfit T-Rex announcement is set for January 1 - at least, it is in China - and we expect the global launch to happen at CES 2020.

Whatever the T-Rex may be we'll be sure to get hands on with it during the show, along with the new Amazfit smartwatch and earbuds, so make sure you keep it locked to TechRadar.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase .

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
