Yesterday I talked about 30 essentail apps I installed on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S II. Today I want to share my home screens with you. As a productivity freak, I’m constantly trying to get more things done during the day and in that sense I organized my phone’s home screen, as well. The…
For some reason some versions of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play don’t come with the built-in capability to record HD videos, even though the phone rocks a pretty fast 1GHz processor that we know is capable for such things. No more, as the Swedish-Japanese handset maker decided to change that by releasing a brand new…
Toshiba isn’t done with Android on tablets, as the company is following up the Thrive Android Honeycomb tablet with the Thrive 7. As you would imagine by the name, this device will rock a 7-inch display and it will come preloaded with Android 3.2 Honeycomb. The Toshiba Thrive 7 aims to keep many of the…

A recent survey by Nielsen showed that of those that had purchased a smartphone in the last three months, 56% of Americans picked up an…
Samsung showed us last night that it has plenty more to add to its Galaxy portfolio. If you thought the Galaxy S II devices weren’t enough, or that maybe the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1 were feeling a little lonely, how about a Tab 8.9? Or to accompany its smaller cousins, the Galaxy Player 4.0…
Finally we got the first press shot of the upcoming HTC EVO Design 4G. Sprint’s baby will cater to mass market, with the carrier most likely asking about $100 for the device along with a two-year contract. In other words – Amazon, Walmart, RadioShack and Wirefly will most likely offer it for a single cent…
