Can you believe ION’s iCade was announced last year at CES? I certainly can’t as it feels the iCade has been on the market forever and has been a step in the right direction for third-party controllers to be used to get the most out of mobile gaming. It looks like ION is ready to…
MetroPCS is the first U.S. carrier to officially announce new devices at the CES (which BTW opens for public tomorrow). They’ve prepared two LTE smartphones for the big event – the Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G and LG Connect 4G. First let’s talk about Sammy’s baby. It’s a mid-range device with a 3.5-inch screen, 1GHz processor,…
Several minutes ago the folks at The Verge posted an article about a refreshed version of the ASUS Transformer Prime, but then they suddenly decided to pull the post for reasons we don’t yet understand. Thanks to the internet though, it’s resurfaced in full and the gist of it is this: ASUS is going to…
USB 3.0 ports are going to get thinner and land in mobile devices by the end of the year. These ports will let customers transfer files at speeds faster (up to 100 megabytes per second) and charge their device more rapidly than current USB 2.0 ports.

We do hope a new model will be announced…
LG will introduce its Google TV product at the 2012 CES. Called LG Smart TV with Google TV, it is said to “combine the familiarity of Google’s Android OS with the convenience and comfort of LG’s 3D and Smart TV technologies.” What’s especially cool about this TV is the Magic Remote Qwerty designed by LG,…
A couple of months ago we heard that Acer was working on a tablet that would run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, have a quad core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, and most impressively pack a 10.1 inch display that could push 1920 x 1200 pixels. The Iconia Tab A700 as it came to be called…
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.…
It may seem hard to believe, but one year ago at CES 2011 ASUS showed off the first generation of a new type of Android tablet that they dubbed the “Transformer”.
