Reliance has begun testing its WhatsApp-backed JioMart online shopping portal in India.
The e-commerce portal is now serving consumers in three cities around Mumbai.
Consumers in the three cities can place an order by texting “Hi” to JioMart’s WhatsApp number 8850008000.

Last week, Facebook announced an investment of $5.7 billion in India’s Jio to bring millions of small businesses across the country to WhatsApp and to enable people to shop directly from the encrypted messaging app. JioMart, which is a joint venture between Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail, has now started testing a WhatsApp-based “ordering system” in three cities just outside Mumbai – Navi Mumbai, Thane, and Kalyan.

Consumers in the three cities can now order groceries by typing “Hi” and sending it to JioMart’s WhatsApp number 8850008000. Once users send the message, they will receive a link to open a mini store in a browser. The sto…

It’s not a new game, it’s not live, but it is new sports related content and we are here for it. There’s no denying that Michael Jordan is one of the best players who has ever stepped foot on the basketball court, and right now you can take a look back at his incredible career through a new documentary mini series called ‘The Last Dance’. The first two of the ten episodes have already aired on ESPN, and if you happened to miss them you can still tune in and watch before the next one airs.

The series contains a mixture of gameplay from Jordan’s time with the bulls, present day interviews, and some exclusive rare archival footage. It follows along with the story behind Jordan’s departure from the team, which was due to Phil Jackson being removed as head coach despite the winning streak the team was on. Originally, the series was set to debut later this year, but thanks to the lack of sports and the troubling times we are facing right now ESPN has decided to push things up.

Motorola has a chance to surprise everyone in the budget market again with the Moto G Power. This handset sports a beautiful 6.4-inch display, while being powered by the Snapdragon 665 and 4GB of RAM. The best part is the included 5,000mAh battery, which could last you up to three days with regular use. So why not get a rugged case to keep the G Power chugging along without getting damaged in the process? Here are the best Moto G Power cases you can get.

The classic pick

Otterbox Commuter Lite

Staff Pick

Otterbox and ruggedness are practically synonymous since the company has been making protective cases for years. The Otterbox Commuter Lite offers a slimmer profile than the Defender series, but still does a great job at protecting your G Power.

Advanced protection

UAG Plyo

At first glimpse, you may think that the UAG Plyo is just another TPU case. That’s simply not the case (heh) as you’ll get reinforced edges and corners for improved shock absorpti…

Bose is known not only for comfortable headphones, but for excellent sound quality, so getting a pair of Bose headphones might be worth the investment. Bose’s Noise Canceling Headphones 700 are the company’s most innovative headphone to date. They feature 11 different steps of active noise cancelation, great battery life with up to 20 hours on a single charge, USB-C, and solid sound quality.

Best Overall: Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700

The Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 are the latest addition to the company’s headphone lineup, but they’re also, by far, its most innovative.

The headlining feature here are the NCH 700s’ active noise cancelation (ANC) capabilities. The outgoing Bose QC35 II were solid at active noise cancelation but were clearly showing their age. However, the NCH 700 now feature some of the best ANC available on the market today. With new ANC algorithms, they’re able to block out nearly all bass/low-end noise and a decent amount of midrange and treble. …
