T-Mobile and Nokia held an event here in New York City tonight “announcing” the Nokia Lumia 710, a $49 Windows Phone 7.5 device.  Due to launch on January 11, 2012 (the second day of CES 2012). This is phone comes with a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm processor, 512 MB RAM, and 8 GB of internal storage, [...]

This is not tech related – but rather a special post, regarding September 11th.   It is my wish, that a decade later, we can release ourselves from the fear. Get our freedoms back. That we can take back our travel from pointless “security measures” with invasive scans and molestation by our government in the name [...]

  As a hardware reviewer I am always looking for tools that can give me extra knowledge of the hardware that I am reviewing.  A number of months ago I stumbled across Elixir.  I always install these apps, in this order, immediately after setting up the device. Astro File Manager Wifi File Explorer Elixir Quadrant [...]

As is my modus operandi, I’ve arrived very early. We can’t get into the event yet, so I’m only able to offer this quick snapshot of the entrance. More to come around noon EST. Not quite sure what the theme of the event is supposed to be: Dan Hesse has taken the stage.  He is [...]

  For the past two days I have been asked over and over again what this app is called.  It is a great conversation starter, it relieves stress, and is good for a laugh the first 10-20 times you open it up.  As you can see there isn’t much substance to the app other than [...]

I am in SHOCK!!!  I’m not joking, this amazes me.  The first phone that was going to push the limits of what Android could be.  The hardware sounded like it could easily have lounged at the top of the food chain but Sony Ericsson decided to launch it with a very outdated version of Android. [...]

The Looxcie is personally one of my favorite products from 2010.  It is a bluetooth headset that also records video.   This is not the high definition incredible clarity video – not in the least.  The choices are a resolution of 240 or 480.  Shooting in 240 allows you to continuously shoot for up to [...]

Not a huge amount of information came about from the live blogs that I have been reading.  Basically LG has attempted to find that perfect medium regarding tablet size.  ”The right size needs to be struck so it’s big enough to be useful, but small enough to carry around.”  The Optimus Pad is a tablet [...]

LG is currently holding their news conference over at Mobile World Congress.  They have just announced (officially) the LG Optimus 3D.  With dual-core processors and dual memory channels this phone is designed for power and speed.  LG ran Quadrant for the attendees and it’s result was 2,958. The processor is a TI OMAP4 (Model 4430) running [...]

The new Snapdragon family is built to offer the highest performance but sipping the least amount of power.  It is built upon 28nm technology, codenamed “Krait.” The new family will come in “single-core MSM8930™, the dual-core MSM8960™ and the quad-core APQ8064™” flavors.  With speeds up to 2.5GHz per core, delivering 65% lower power usage, as [...]

All of LG’s phones and tablets had already been announced (or ads played)  prior to Mobile World Congress, or so it would seem.  In the past month we have either had hands on, benchmarked, or have seen obnoxious advertisements for their upcoming products.  The Press release below states that YouTube and LG have teamed up [...]

The Galaxy Tab 10.1″ is coming to a country far from you – if you are stateside, that is.  Engadget reports this: Samsung says the 10.1 will be launching in March in both Asia and Europe — Vodafone will be the first carrier to nab the Tab — but it had absolutely no timing details [...]

Rogers customers can begin celebrating now.  The Xperia Arc and Xperia Play are both confirmed to be coming to Rogers.  Rogers is the largest wireless operator in Canada so this is a great announcement for many of you in the north. As many of our readers might remember – Simon, Allen, and myself all were [...]

Hot off the CES debut of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc come three new phones.  Below are just the standard photos with a quick breakdown of the specifications for each phone.  I will dive into more detail after I read the press releases.  I just wanted to get these out to the masses.
