Get ready for a “Nexus Surprise”, Android fans, as the official Google Nexus Twitter account has sent out a tweet, teasing us. What the surprise could be is anyone’s guess, but we don’t have much longer to find out what it is. While we’d like to see a new Nexus handset today, it likely won’t…
The HTC Incredible 2 is coming to Verizon shortly, but us lucky bastards north of the border have been enjoying the GSM version for a couple of weeks now thanks to Bell. Will’s review of the original Incredible was mostly high praise, but that was upwards of a year ago, and since then competing smartphone…
How quickly the world changes. Nielsen said that a higher percentage of consumers prefer Android for their next smartphone over the Apple iPhone or Research In Motion’s BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet launched last week in North America, and even though we’ve had six months to stew over the idea of RIM making a tablet, it still seems a little bizarre.

The companies are hoping that the unique form factor will make the device seem like magic. After playing with the unquestionably unique Kyocera Echo for a week, I believe it’s an ambitious smartphone but I’m…
T-Mobile may have grabbed one of the best smartphones available today with the G2x. Essentially the LG Optimus 2X, but with stock Android and HSPA+ support, the G2x hits all the right spots in terms of power and features, all packaged in a simple design.
