Hands-On: Lenovo K800 with Intel Atom Z2460 (Medfield)
We just spent way too much time (in a good way) at Lenovo’s trailer here at CES and got some hands-on love with the new K800 handset, which sports Intel’s new 1.6GHz Atom Z2460 processor. From its power to the overall design, the K800 is an interesting handset that’s very easy on the eyes. The handset has a very unique design, especially on the back side. The rear of the device is all plastic but has a brushed finish, which gives it a wood-like look and feel. Other than the great … Read more

Broadcom BCM21552G: Making $100 smartphones with 3G, GPS, and NFC possible
Braodcom has just announced a new system on chip called the BCM21552G that they say will let handset vendors create $100 smartphones that have 3G connectivity, GPS, and near field communication support. What components make up the BCM21552G? On the CPU side there’s a 1 GHz ARM11 processor, which isn’t the fastest thing on the planet, but it’s good enough for most folks. Take Nokia’s current Symbian lineup for example, they’re all running on an ARM11 platform. Now as for the graphics it’s a proprietary Broadcom solution that delivers VGA … Read more

Sign up for 1 year of the New York Times, get a Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch for free
With each successive generation of electronic readers prices inevitably come down due to advances in technology and manufacturing. That begs the question, when are eBook readers going to get so cheap that they’ll be practically free? We saw Amazon launch a $79 Kindle back in September of last year, and as cheap as it is compared to the first Kindle, which launched in November 2007 for $400, it still isn’t $0. Harking back to the days of buying a subscription to a magazine so that you can receive a free … Read more

Imagination announces the first next generation GPUs that will end up in 2013 smartphones and tablets
Imagination Technologies has just unveiled the PowerVR G6200 and G6400 graphics processors, the first GPUs to use the new PowerVR Rogue architecture. What does this mean for you? The company claims that these new GPUs will deliver “20x or more” the performance that today’s PowerVR5 series GPUs use today. Who uses Imagination’s processors? Apple does in the A4 and A5, Texas Instruments does in the OMAP3 and OMAP4, and even Intel uses Imagination’s stuff in their Atom platforms. Now before you get too excited, note that there’s typically a lead … Read more

Hands-On: LG Spectrum for Verizon
Between the million phones that have been announced here at CES 2012, it’s hard for one to really stand out. Of course, having 4G/LTE certainly doesn’t hurt and if you needed yet another option for Verizon, you may be interested in the LG Spectrum. The LG Spectrum is essentially the LG Nitro HD for Verizon. Sporting a large 4.5 True HD IPS display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera on the rear, 1.3 megapixel camera on the front, and Android Gingerbread running the show. LG’s display technology is some of … Read more

Hands-on: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus
After hearing the rumors, and finally an official announcement, we finally got a little hands on action with Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Ice Cream Sandwich “Superphone” certainly didn’t waste any time after the Verizon launch, even though the release date still hasn’t been released. Like the Verizon version, the Sprint Galaxy Nexus is a bit thicker than the HSPA+ version, as expected. It’s a bit heavier but doesn’t feel too heavy in the hand in any way. In fact, some may like the extra heft, as the lightness may … Read more

Qualcomm powered Windows 8 tablets with 4G LTE talked about at AT&T’s Developers Summit
If you’re in Las Vegas this week, chances are you’re there to attend the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. It’s the largest tech show in North America and it’s an event that separates the men from the boys in terms of who can best cover the insane amount of products being announced seemingly every 15 seconds. But did you know that right before CES, on January 8th and 9th, AT&T held their 2012 Developers Summit? That event didn’t get a lot of attention, despite being in Las Vegas, but one important … Read more

Hands-on with the Toshiba Excite tablet
CES has yet to even start but that doesn’t mean the news has slowed. Toshiba recently unveiled its newest tablet and it’s no Thrive 2. The Toshiba Excites brings just about anything you’d want from a high-end Android tablet these days when it comes to internal hardware but it’s really an experience to have the thing in your hands. Upon first glance, the Excite doesn’t look like much more than your run of the mill, “us to” Android tablet. Then again, there’s only so much you can do with the … Read more

iPhone 4S top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint
A report from Canaccord Genuity concludes that the Apple iPhone 4S was the top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint in November. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. No hands? I thought so. Yes, the iPhone is topping carriers’ sales charts once again. “IPhone 4S sales strength continues as distribution increases – Our November checks indicated iPhone sales remained strong in the US, particularly at AT&T and Sprint. Further, our checks indicated strong global share gains,” Michael Walkley of Canaccord Genuity writes. “With the iPhone 4S launching in new markets … Read more

LG Spectrum for Verizon packs some punches – Ice Cream Sandwich isn’t one of them
It looks like the successor to the LG Revolution is finally here, as the LG Spectrum will be landing on Big Red on January 19th. The Gingerbread-toting handset is packed to the gills with high-end specs, the 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 being one of them. The Spectrum sports a 4.5 inch (1280 x 720) True HD IPS display, 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor, 8 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 1 GB RAM, 4G LTE, and more. While it’s not officially being called the Revolution 2 (at least not … Read more
