The Verizon Motorola Droid X isn’t even out yet, and we’re already seeing Adobe’s Flash 10.1 Player for Android running on the device. That should be exciting news to anyone that managed to get a Droid X pre-order. We still wish the device would ship with the Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS that is required to…
The HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S are pretty evenly matched on paper – both have 1 GHz processors, run Android 2.1, WVGA touchscreens of similar size (3.7″ versus 4″), and about the same memory (576 MB versus 512 MB). One would argue that if you were to run a Quake 2 demo on both…
One of the drawbacks of Apple’s “magical” iPad is that Apple and Steve Jobs have vehemently kept Adobe’s Flash technology from running in the Mobile Safari browser. Jobs & Co. argue that the open HTML5 standard is more than capable of delivering much of the rich online media that we’ve gotten used to over the…
The Samsung Intercept was scheduled to launch on Sprint July 11, but one lucky shopper picked his up early and provides us with a hands-on tour. The Intercept runs Android 2.1 (with Google), 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.2″ 800 x 480 touchscreen, Wi-Fi, GPS, has an optical trackpad, and landscape slide-out keyboard. The video doesn’t really…
Say what? Most of us didn’t even know it was possible, but it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S has video-out capabilities right from the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Craaazy. The most common way we’ve seen video-out possible comes from either a USB port, or a built-in HDMI port, but the headphone jack? Wow. The…
While still a great piece of hardware, in the mobile world, the Sprint HTC EVO 4G is already in danger of becoming yesterday’s news. It seems like once the device has been out for a month or so, we start looking to newer, upcoming phones to sate our mobile tech needs. That’s just a hazard…
For those of you pining to get more information on Sprint’s second 4G device, the Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint’s variant of the Galaxy S), you may be happy to see the video below. The promo video showcases some of the Epic 4G’s great features. Move aside HTC EVO 4G, Epic is here. The video shows…
As FIFA World Cup was starting up last month, Rogers offered an app for Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone to watch the games live, as well as watch clips cached from a wide selection of shows. I got to spend some time with Rogers on Demand on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, and though I had…
Last night, members of the media were invited to the Skylight West in New York City to be properly introduced to the Samsung Galaxy S, or rather, the US variants of the device. Not only did we have a chance to see wireless industry big wigs on the keynote stage, but we also had a…
You may recall the iPad-in-the-kitchen-cabinets video I posted a little while back. I get a kick out of custom uses for today’s technology, especially when it comes to the iPad. Having an iPad mounted in a kitchen cabinet sounded ridiculous to me at first, but after watching the video a few times I had to…
