AT&T bound HTC Titan II and Sony Xperia S caught at the FCC

Two smartphones with AT&T-compatible cellular radios have been caught at the FCC. The first one is Windows Phone-powered HTC Titan II, which rocks both HSPA and LTE connectivity. At the moment I’m writing this, the government paid engineers are still playing with this beast phone, trying out its 16-megapixel camera… The second device is the Sony Xperia S (not the ion) and it’s not officially announced by AT&T. However, the version of the phone FCC got to play with sings along the carrier’s 3G network, boasting a quad-band UMTS radio … Read more

Infographic: Apple’s cash explained

After another successful quarter, Apple is worth more than $400 billion, which is about $6,622,516 per employee. If it was to pay a corporate tax on its massive cash reserves of $97.7 billion, that money could buy an iPad for every person in Canada and Greece. However, 2/3 of that reserve is stored offshore. Moreover, Apple’s cash reserve is enough to pay off the total public debt of 8 EU countries, including Slovakia, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Cyprus, Estonia and Malta. In the last three months, Apple brought in 4x … Read more

TripIt for Business makes travel management easier for small business

Love TripIt? If you’ve used it once – you probably can’t live without it. Its capability to quickly make itineraries from email confirmations rocks. If you happen to be a manager at some small company (or its owner), you may want the same capability for your employees, while at the same time being able to monitor their expenses. Now you can do that with TripIt for Business, which provides travel coordinators and colleagues with access to office travel plans in one place. The benefits are pretty clear to me, but … Read more

Juniper Research: There will more than half a billion mobile banking users by 2013

Economic hardship won’t affect mobile banking with Juniper Research predicting customers will flock to such services in volumes, eventually reaching 530 million users by 2013, up from 300 million in 2011. According to the research company, mobile services are becoming a fundamental component of banks’ business strategies as they respond to the current financial crisis. On the other side of the equation, smartphone users seek tighter control of their finances given uncertain economic conditions to which some financial institutions responded with dedicated smartphone and tablet apps. However, the report cautions … Read more

Asus: There is no 3G Transformer Prime

Want to the 3G-enabled Asus Transformer Prime? Well, you can forget about it – Asus said it won’t release a 3G version of the existing Transformer Prime tablet. According to FocusTaiwan, “no such product exists on its [Asus'] current roadmap.” Now you could hope that the upcoming version of the tablet turned notebook, Transformer Prime TF700T, will get 3G radio alongside that more powerful 1920×1200 pixels display, but that’s just a speculation at this point. Personally I don’t mind Wi-Fi only tablets — as a matter of fact I prefer … Read more

Sprint’s HTC Evo 3D gets a small update [It's not Ice Cream Sandwich]

Sprint released a small firmware update for the HTC Evo 3D. “Small” obviously doesn’t include Ice Cream Sandwich and I guess we’ll have to wait for another month or so to see Android 4.0 rolling out for the 3D smartphone. The new software version comes with some improvements under the hood that improve the battery life and the overall security of the device. Moreover, there’s the updated Peep client (to align with Twitter). By the time you’re reading this, you may’ve been already prompted to update. If not – don’t … Read more

Toshiba shows off 5.1, 7.7 and 13.3-inch Android tablets at CES

Toshiba seems to be planning to introduce an array of new tablets with the Japanese company showing off some cool models at the CES in Las Vegas. More precisely, they have devices with 5.1, 7.7 and 13.3-inch screens on display at their booth (as you can see from the gallery below). Unfortunately we’ve no clue whether these babies will ever be launched. We do hope to see more competition in the tablet space, though I’m not sure the screen size is that crucial. Rather Toshiba (and other tablet makers for … Read more

CES 2012: Toshiba Booth Tour

When it comes to the mobile game, Toshiba was all about tablets at this year’s CES. As a matter of fact, they showed some models which are still not officially announced (and we’ll deal with them in a separate post). And while I doubt their Thrive and Excite tablets sell in volumes — no matter how fancy they may seem — the Japanese company must be thinking this is just a start and that sales will come later (this year?). Aside from tablets, Toshiba also had its laptops and TVs … Read more
