Google confirmed this month that it has a Pixel 5a coming later this year, although it may only be available in select markets. But the company hasn’t provided any real details about the phone.

After making a terrific tablet in 2017, Eve Tech is having trouble shipping units and supporting customers
The Eve V is a surprisingly good tablet from a company that took a very unusual approach. Not only did Eve Tech raise money through a crowdfunding campaign, but the scrappy young company turned to potential customers for input on nearly every important design decision. While that could easily have led to a too-many-cooks-spoiled-the-tablet situation, […]
