Happy New Year! Just read over at The Verge that the big TV manufacturer, Vizio, is getting into the Windows PC market with a plethora of notebooks, ultrabooks, and all-in-one PCs.

They don’t look too bad if I do say so myself. I’m interested to know what materials they used in the design. The [...]

Evan — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:55:20 +0000

Once upon a time, Google set out to deliver a pure Android experience. The result of that effort was the Nexus line of Android devices. In January 2010, they released the Nexus One (by HTC), 11 months later, the Nexus S (by Samsung), and just a few short weeks ago, the Galaxy Nexus (also by [...]

Its always tough gauging the battery life of a phone on the first day because your always playing with it and the battery isn’t fully conditioned yet. Here are the battery stats from the first day. LTE was off until the last fourth of my day.

I normally wouldn’t post a video sample, but this video sample comes from an iPhone 4S. It is very impressive. Now mind you, its the same sample shown at the iPhone 4S keynote on Tuesday.

It’s safe to say a lot has happened in mobile electronics the past couple months. Google’s announcement will be the climax of all that has happened.

The iPhone 4S was announced this past Tuesday…and while its a formidable device, many were disappointed in it because it doesn’t seperate itself enough from the [...]

Quick Look at Gingerbread for the Captivate, Deja Vu Edition

Evan — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 02:32:04 +0000

Way way back (actually only a couple months ago), two Gingerbread leaks (Android 2.3.3) dropped for the Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S for AT&T), I897UCKF1. Improvements included significant performance enhancements, better battery life, and a more Gingerbread-like look and feel. These early leaks while relatively stable for a leak, still lacked the polish needed for [...]

The 4G in Atrix 4G Finally Has (Some) Weight

Evan — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:59:19 +0000

Since then, AT&T has announced an update is coming that will enable HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) which [...]

Remember back at Mobile World Congress, when Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Well, after Apple announced its follow up to the original iPad, the iPad 2, which was incredibly thin…Samsung decided that the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 was to thick and heavy (thats what she said).
