CES 2012: Intel Booth Tour

Intel is trying really hard to enter the mobile game. At the CES in Las Vegas, the chip maker demonstrated its Atom-based reference smartphone and announced deals with Motorola and Lenovo. The Chinese company could easily help Intel quickly get traction in the world’s most populous country, eventually reaching millions of units shipped within a short period of time. On the other hand, going to bed with Motorola means teaming-up with Google, and that’s also a good sign. The question is whether Intel will succeed this time, with ARM having … Read more

HTC Radiant, one of the Windows Phone devices AT&T will unveil at the CES next week, has been leaked and voila – you can see it from the image above.

Vopium updates its Android app to make it even easier to use

Vopium updated its Android app as I’m sure every user of the popular VoIP service has already noticed. The reason is simple – the application got a new “streamlined” UI that “improves communications and enhances the user experience” by automatically optimizing itself to match each device’s resolution and screen size. Moreover, the new app also includes a guided tour of Vopium’s analytics of user habits and preferences that help maximize savings on local and international calls. A wizard gathers call-quality feedback and provides the per minute rate BEFORE each call … Read more

DROID 4 caught at Best Buy Rewards Zone Promotion

Even though Verizon Wireless still hasn’t announced the DROID 4 — as far as I can tell they’ll do that from the floor of CES in Las Vegas — Best Buy has already prepared a promotional material for the device. As a matter of fact, the QWERTY keyboard-equipped smartphone got its place at the retailer’s Rewards Zone mini-site where it’s clearly presented with few other smartphones like the HTC Evo 3D and Samsung Galaxy S II. We can’t blame Best Buy for pulling this off — after all, at one … Read more

iOS 5.0.1 improved my iPhone 4S battery life, so I don’t know what you’re complaining about

When iOS 5 was released a few weeks ago, iPhone users quickly complained about the damage it did to battery life. iPhone 4S owners seemed to be the most vocal, so many believed that it had something to do with the new hardware. Never mind the fact that Apple explicitly mentioned that the iPhone 4S has shorter standby time than the iPhone 4, but it did seem like battery life was truly fickle. On most days, my battery life was OK, but on others it was just awful. Apple acknowledged … Read more

HTC Rezound with Beats Audio hands on

We just got a glimpse of the HTC Rezound with Beats Audio for Verizon Wireless, an Android smartphone whose focus is to deliver the best video and audio quality you can get on a smartphone. Whether it lives up to those claims is still up in the air, especially since we’ve only had about five solid minutes with the device. Our initial impressions, however, are generally positive. No need to get into specs here, for those, you can just click here. In the hand, the HTC Rezound feels pretty solid, … Read more

Facebook for Windows Phone 7 now supports Mango

Facebook for Windows Phone 7 just received an update that will allow the app to support Mango’s, or Windows Phone 7.5, new features. Now that Mango makes the WP7 experience feel a little more complete, it’s good to see apps like Facebook – a service most of us use with some frequency – updated to support Mango’s live tiles and other integrated features. From WMPowerUser: The update brings the software to version 2.2 and ads the ability to pin selected elements of the app, for example the Messages inbox, to … Read more
