There’s been a lot of rumors floating around about the upcoming Nexus device and while we’re (probably) still about a month away from the debut of Ice Cream Sandwich, many people are certain that there will in fact be two Nexus devices, which may be right on the money. That said, I believe that they…
The recent announcement of the HTC Titan and Samsung Galaxy Note prompted me to once again re-think modern smartphones, tablets and screen sizes. Particularly I was wondering when does a screen (and the device itself) become too bulky to carry around. I remember when the original HTC HD2 was announced I thought no one would…
We recently saw the user agent profile for the upcoming Nexus Prime pop up and many were disappointed with what was revealed. Well, upon further inspection and reading through the comments over at Pocketnow, something becomes apparent. With the exception of the model number, the Nexus Prime’s user agent profile is completely identical as the…
By now you’ve probably realized I love Evernote and prefer it over other similar services like Springpad and Catch.com. This is not to say the other two companies are bad by any account – it’s just that I first tried out Evernote and was delighted with the service so much that I didn’t see a…
Yesterday I was ranting about the QWERTY keyboard-equipped Android smartphones a la BlackBerry (like the Motorola Pro), wondering why more handset makers don’t make such devices to “help” users switch to Google’s mobile platform. Today I want to go one step forward, making a case for a “perfect device” – the one that would work…
After Apple launched the iPhone, the market went crazy with pretty much every handset maker jumping to make an all-touchscreen smartphone. In the meantime, RIM continued to push its “candybar with a full QWERTY keyboard” phones and even managed to increase its market share. Now that the Interweb is all about the Android and iPhone,…
It’s a sad truth that pure PND makers will sooner or later end-up being acquired by bigger companies looking to expand their services offering. I’ve been thinking which of the giants could be interested to grab Garmins and TomToms of the world, and here’s my list. Before I start, let me mention few companies which…
We’ve been talking about the Huawei Vision for few times in the past. If you recall, it’s a high-end device similar to the Nexus One, specs wise. It doesn’t have a dual-core processor — which would make it the superphone by today’s standards — but a single-core CPU, clocking at 1GHz. Rest of the Vision…
This past January at CES, there were many announcements that seriously caught our attention in the mobile space. One such announcement was the Motorola Droid Bionic, which has since seen its fair share of mishaps, delays, and whatever could happen to a handset to keep it from store shelves. More than half a year later,…
AT&T has just “streamlined” its messaging plans all over again, leaving unlimited mostly untouched for both individual users and those on family plans. The carrier claims that most people prefer to be on unlimited plans, anyway, so this might affect a smaller percentage of people. Perhaps it’s true: nearly everyone I know is on an…
