Toshiba Excite 10 LE to arrive March 6 for $529 in time for iPad 3

The Toshiba Excite 10 LE Android tablet first spotted at CES 2012 now has an official release date and price. It’ll start at $529 and land on March 6th. I’m sure it’s just a total coincidence that Apple is unveiling the iPad 3 the very next day. The Excite 10 LE appropriately features a 10.1-inch display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and Gorilla Glass on top. It ships with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, but Toshiba promises it will receive the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment later on in the year. As Read more

Mobile World Congress 2012: LG L3, L5, L7 hands on [Videos]

LG is really pushing its phone designs this year, which is really something it desperately needed to do since most of its handsets look rather drab. Along with the Vu and 4X HD, the new L-Style line comes with some nice designs and we just got a chance to play around with the new trio at Mobile World Congress.   L3 The LG L3 is by far the lower end offering of the line, as it basically brings your specs found in the very first Android phone, the G1.

MWC 2012: ZTE announces a handful of Android phones, tablets, and Windows Phone

Mobile World Congress has officially kicked off and ZTE didn’t waste any time announcing an obscene amount of devices today.

HTC One S is a thin, powerful handset – Headed to T-Mobile

The HTC One S (Ville) is official and boy are we impressed with what the company has come up with for its 2012 line up so far. Following in the footsteps of the HTC One X, but with specifications for a user who doesn’t care to have the latest and greatest tech, without sacrificing much power, the HTC One S may be the handset for you. Best of all, the One S will be landing on T-Mobile USA out of the gate when its released. Even without picking the HTC Read more

HTC One X is the geek’s wet dream come true

The HTC Endeavor is finally official and like the rumors stated, it’s now called the HTC One X, which is a part of HTC’s new strategy shift. The new “One” handset line will cover high-end to low-end, giving you a sense of a true branding outside of the usual Sense UI. The first thing you’ll notice about the One X is just how beautifully it was designed. The screen border slightly pours out to the sides of the phone, making it look like it’s curved (and incidentally, making the Galaxy Read more

Mobile World Congress: LG Vu hands-on [Video]

We can’t say that we were at all surprised when LG had plans to release a phone that competed directly against the Samsung Galaxy Note, and we’d be lying if we said that we were excited when we first got word. Well, we just got some hands-on time with LG’s take on the phone/tablet hybrid and in our jet lagged daze, we walked away pretty impressed. The stand out differentiator of the LG Vu is that the device is that its 5 inch display has a 4:3 aspect ratio opposed Read more

Hands-on: PS Vita

Today marks the day the PS Vita has officially hit retail stores in North America and Latin Americas, and boy, has it been a long time coming since it’s original announcement back in January 2011. Now that the PS Vita has hit store shelves, I couldn’t help but tear open my PS Vita box and get to using the system early this morning to see if all of the hype surrounding the device was well worth the wait. Firstly, let’s get the specs out of the way. The PS Vita Read more

Meet the Sony Xperia U – The bite-sized Xperia S

While we’re pretty unsure of anything that Sony will be announcing during Mobile World Congress next week, the fog has lifted slightly and it looks like we have a new handset coming our way. That handset would be the Xperia U aka Kumquat, which looks to be a smaller version of the Xperia S – in size and specs. The Xperia U has been floating around for some time now but has shown up again just in time for a MWC launch, and right next to its big brother, the Read more
