When we first heard about the ViewSonic ViewPad 4, Stefan called it one of the most boring things he’s ever seen. Well, we’re here at CES 2011 and decided to get our hands on the thing to see if he was wrong. After spending some time with the ViewPad 4, I’m having a hard time…
To be honest with you, I wasn’t too jazzed up to meet up with Cricket Wireless to discuss its Muve Music service because I don’t even get its service where I live and I don’t even consider devices that aren’t smartphones. After taking a look at the Samsung Suede with this service, I’ve changed my…
If you’re a fan of streaming radio, you’ve probably already tried Slacker Radio.

Everyone was expecting Motorola to show off an iPad competitor at CES and the company may have met the sky-high expectations with the introduction of the Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet. With a 10.1-inch display, the Motorola Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet is quite a site to behold. With a 1280 x 800 16:10 widescreen HD display,…
Verizon announced one of its newest 4G LTE smartphones at CES 2011 yesterday – the HTC Thunderbolt. The latest Android 2.2 handset for Big Red sports a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz Qualcomm processor and a kickstand behind it – sort of like the EVO – that opens up to reveal another speaker.
