A busy day for Google! Nexus S, Gingerbread SDK & Google Books

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Well Google went all out today… They announced the Nexus S, released the Gingerbread SDK and launched Google Books. I would say they’ve been busy.  So lets break this down.

The Nexus S has a lot of “firsts” going for it.  First phone to run Gingerbread (Android 2.3), first to have a 4″ Contoured Display, and support for Near Field Communication.  Some of the other highlights are an improved keyboard, VoIP/SIP support, Wi-Fi hotspots 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 16GB internal memory, a dedicated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and a slew of other great stuff.

Check out the video and learn about the Gingerbread SDK and Google Books after the break. Read More

Meet the Nokia N8

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Most cell phones come with cameras these days but this could be considered a camera that comes with a cell phone, meet the Nokia N8 ($TBA).  Sporting the new Symbian 3 operating system this PHONE packs the best cell phone camera yet.  It features a 12 megapixel sensor, Carl Zies optics, a Xenon flash and HD video recording.  Oh and the phone part… it’s got a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, HDMI output, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, and will support a lot of upcoming apps.

Pretty sweet IMO.

Is it Incredible? Verizon thinks so.

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I haven’t geeked out on a new phone in a while so I think we’re about due.  Now granted this isn’t the EVO but I think it’s up there.  It’s the new HTC Droid Incredible ($200) and it hits Verizon on the April 29th. (You can pre-order it now)  I instantly think this is leaps and bounds above the Motorola Droid if for no other reason than that it comes with the Sense UI.  This guy is taking some cues from the Nexus One as well, the Incredible offers a 3.7-inch, 480×800 AMOLED capacitive touch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1 with the HTC Sense UI, an optical joystick, an eight megapixel camera with dual LED flash, and the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

So is it incredible?  That’s for you to decide but I bet it’s better than your current phone.

Motorola Devour is headed to Verizon

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This is one I’m sorry I missed while I was out last week.  You may have already seen it but if not I think you’ll like it.  So what’s it?  It’s the Motorola Devour, a new Android smartphone that’s going to hit Verizon in March.  Like it’s Droid predecessor it’s got a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, aGPS and it comes with an 8GB SD card with support up to 32GB.  Now granted, it’s got a smaller screen than the Droid but it’s still pretty sweet.  Another nice thing about this phone is that it has MOTOBLUR, the first solution to sync contacts from work and personal e-mail services, including Gmail, with posts, messages, photos and more from popular sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

I’m pretty excited to see more on this phone, Megan Fox seems to like it too…  Check out the full press release here.

Motorola Backflip: AT&T’s First Android Phone

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Here’s one of the new phones that was announced at CES.  It’s the Motorola Backflip($TBA; Q1 2010) will be the first Android phone released on AT&T.  One of the things that sets this apart is it’s sporting a unique reverse flip design and the MOTOBLUR content delivery service. The design lets the screen slide up for access to a hardware keyboard, or flip around to act as a video viewing stand. Features like a 3.1-inch touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, a GPS, and Bluetooth round out the experience.

Did anyone else catch my name on the promo shot?  So what if it’s a girls last name….

Palm Pre Plus & Pixi Plus Hit Verizon January 25th!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

We heard a little buzz about this last week but Palm made it official today.  The Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are hitting Verizon Wireless on January 25th.

The Palm Pre Plus is going to be twice the machine the Pre was.  No really, it’s going to have twice the memory of the original (up to 16GB).  It’s also going to come standard with the induction cover for Touchstone charging.  We also noticed that it doesn’t have the little button on the front anymore.  For the Pixi Plus the only change looks like the edition of WiFi but if you ask me that’s what was needed to make the Pixi worth anything anyways.

We still haven’t heard a price point but we’ll let you know once we do.  Check out the press release with full specs after the break. Read More

HTC HD2 is “Coming to America” via T-Mobile

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Microsoft and HTC have now finally announced that the HD2 is officially headed to T-Mobile. You can pre-register for this beast with all it’s Windows Mobile 6.5 glory now and it’s expected to arrive in Spring of 2010.

No pricing or specific availability has been mentioned but I’m sure the HD2 won’t be cheap given the high specifications.
