Today's Top 3 Stories
#1 Jawbone Announces Affordable UP Move And High-End UP3 Activity Trackers
  Jawbone has been working to expand its services directly to smartphones so you don't need a dedicated tracking device. I thought the Jawbone UP24 would be its last device, but today we hear that Jawbone is rolling out the UP Move and UP3. One is designed for the entry-level market and the other for the fitness fan. (ZDNet)
Why This Is Important: Firmware updates will enable the trackers to capture more health-specific data, broadening the potential audience for the fitness bands. 

#2 You'll Pay A Premium For The New Samsung Galaxy Note Edge 
  Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge arrives soon in the U.S. with its innovative curved edge display, but at a steep price. (Cite World)
Why This Is Important: Samsung is betting consumers will shell out for the phablet's innovative design, giving the Edge an air of exclusivity, but many analysts remain skeptical that it's a wise strategy. 

#3 Apple Watch Pricing Rumor Suggests Stainless Steel Starts At $400, Gold At $4,000
  When Apple first introduced the Apple Watch, it stayed fairly quiet on the wearable's price and launch date, saying only that it'd start at $349 and arrive sometime in early 2015. Recently the rumor mill claims to have narrowed down that launch window slightly, and now more pricing details may have emerged as well. (Phone Dog)
Why This Is Important: Speaking of exclusivity, no one doubts that Apple could set the bar extremely high for the premium versions of the Apple Watch.

CNN Discovers Promotional Surface Pros Make Fantastic iPad Stands
By Eric Limer
Last night, CNN wasn't just covering the mid-term elections. It was also pimping the Surface Pro 3, conspicuously placing a kickstand-ed unit in front of a bunch of its commentators. The catch? They were actually just being used as iPad stands. More »
