Motorola Gleam+ is a RAZR-like clamshell
Motorola launched a successor of its RAZR-like Gleam clamshell, simply called Gleam+. That “plus” is well deserved since the new device looks much better than the original Gleam model. Moreover, specs are also bumped up, though at its core Gleam+ remains a feature phone. Speaking of specs, this fancy fella’ rocks a 2.8-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) internal display, external screen comprised of 144 LEDs, 2-megapixel camera with fixed focus, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, and 50MB of built-in storage that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.

UK: Toshiba AT200 available exclusively through Carphone Warehouse starting at 399 GBP
Not sure that many folks dig Toshiba’s tablets, but then again – I may be wrong. We gotta give it to the Japanese company for their super-thin (7.7mm) AT200 model (aka Excite X10) that makes the iPad and many other Android tablets feel too bulky. And now this handsome device is available in the UK, with the Carphone Warehouse scoring the exclusive launch deal. The 16GB tablet could be yours for 399 GBP (about $633), while the 32GB version is selling for 50 GBP more (449 GBP ~ $712). Specs … Read more

Consumers may love the iPhone, but carriers hate it
Ever wonder why when you walk into a carrier store, they always subtly (or in some cases, not so subtly) try to push you toward buying an Android device? The reason is because even though Apple requires a grandiose display of the iPhone, carriers make much more money off of Android phones. Carriers pay Apple the subsidy that is able to keep the iPhone down to its $199 price point even after cramming in loads of new features in every release. For Apple, this is good. For consumers, this is … Read more

See almost every Apple product in 30 seconds
If you’re a die-hard Android or Windows Phone fan (do those exist), then you may want to skip this post because this is going to be an ode to Apple. This really neat YouTube video shows nearly every Apple design that’s come out in a neat and tidy 30 seconds. You see many pieces of Apple tech which can bring up nostalgia or even some rage. I still hate the one-button mouse and the Newton was a joke – or if you want to be kind, it was too ahead … Read more

HTC talks Ice Cream Sandwich updates – Coming in late March to select handsets
Looks like HTC isn’t wasting any time when it comes to updating its existing line of handsets to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Today on Facebook, HTC announced that the Android 4.0 update rollout would begin in late March, starting with the Sensation line of handsets. We do know that HTC’s new handset flow will begin to wane in 2012 in favor of better quality devices but we don’t know if that also translates to a greater focus on updating the massive amount of different handsets it released last year. … Read more

Apple ‘protest’ fizzles – Should we care how our iDevices are made?
With all the recent investigations into the working conditions at companies Apple uses to produce its products, I figured a scheduled protest of this at the Apple Store in San Francisco would draw a bit of a crowd. I mean, this is San Francisco, we protest if the sun hasn’t come up in a while. That’s why I was surprised to get to the city’s flagship Apple store to find that the eight or so members of the media far outnumbered the protesters. The numbers may not mean anything because … Read more

Motorola: Hardware causes late Android updates, not custom UIs
When it comes to explaining the cause of Android fragmentation; we’ve heard it all … or so we thought. Recently, Motorola senior vice president Christy Wyatt voiced her thoughts on the company’s current struggles on delivering new versions of the Android OS to customers, such as Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. To no one’s surprise, Wyatt mentioned how time-consuming it is to integrate a new version of Android into Motorola’s platform. If you read deep into the words: “integrate” and “time-consuming” you instantly think about a software related issue, right? … Read more

U.S. set to approve Google, Motorola deal
Google is trying to spend more than $12 billion to buy Motorola and there is some concern that the European Union may have some issues with it but a new report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that the U.S. Justice Department will let the deal go through. We’ll know by Monday if the EU has any beef with the deal and I’d imagine its concerns would revolve around patents and Google’s position in the Android chain. Additionally, the EU has been taking a close look at Google over the … Read more

AllThingsD: Apple to announce the iPad 3 during the first week of March
The iPad 3 rumor mill is heating up with a report from AllThingsD that Apple will introduce its next generation tablet at an event in first week of March. The Cupertino company will hold the event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, a venue it often uses for high-profile launches like this. The tablet will then go on sale a few weeks after the event. The timing of the announcement fits in nicely with Apple’s previous launch schedule for the iPad. Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPad in January 2010 and the iPad 2 in March 2011. It … Read more
