Samsung Galaxy S4 Coming To AT&T First, 4GB RAM
|
 We can finally put an end date on the long wait for the Samsung Galaxy S4. According to a trusted source, the much-hyped handset will first land at AT&T on April 26th, and we're told that it will boast up to 2.5 times the performance of its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, at least in certain benchmarks. AnTuTu was noted as the metric this performance was observed in.

HTC First With Facebook Home Review
|
|
For many users, smartphones are tools that are more about the software and user experience than the hardware. Of course, you still need adequate hardware and smooth performance to ensure a good experience, but beyond that, there are plenty of users who are attracted more to software and easy-to-use features than anything else.
As the first phone to ship with Facebook Home preinstalled, the new HTC First is hoping to attract customers who care most about the Facebook experience on their phones. Facebook Home is deeply integrated with Android and offers notifications, status updates, photos, messages, and more directly from the phone's home screen...

When it comes to protecting our phones there are plenty of options. There are tons of different cases from tons of different manufacturers. Cases ranging from extreme protection to very minimal, with a range of different bells and whistles to a case that is plain Jane. This time around we are going to look at the Surface from Seidio. The Surface is a simple case with a metal kickstand on the back for angled viewing. Join me as I compare it to the Palette from Poetic as well as look at the new and different features it has.

Veho Pebble Smartstick Emergency Charger Review @ TestFreaks
|
|
Dont you hate it when the battery on your mobile device dies during the course of the day and you realized you either forgot your charger or dont have anywhere to charge it? Today for review Ive got the Veho Pebble Smartstick Emergency Charger which is just like it sounds, a portable battery essentially to charge your devices in an emergency. Thats not exactly true I think as it doesnt really have to be an emergency to use it, you can use it anytime you need to top off the battery in your device. The Pebble is very small and portable and comes with a few different tips allowing you to charge most devices on the market today. The Pebble is something that personally I need as my kids love using my iPod Touch 4th Gen but its aging and the battery only lasts for a little over an hour, and that isnt much really. The Pebble allows my kids to keep using the iPod for more than what the battery normally allows. So read one to learn more.."

Rise Of The Phablet Is A Bigger Smartphone Better? @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
First off, can we all agree that Phablet is a terrible name? A Smartphone with a big screen does not make a tablet. Second, lets examine what exactly a Phablet is. The difference between a large phone and a small tablet is that a small tablet will run (at least in theory) tablet optimized applications, whereas the large phone is stuck with phone apps. The question is how big is too big for a phone?"

Republic Wireless and the Motorola DEFY XT Tested
|
|
When something sounds too good to be true, we’re as skeptical as anyone, which is why we raised an eyebrow at Republic Wireless last year when the company pledged to offer unlimited mobile service--that’s unlimited talk, text, and data--for just $19 a month, without any contracts. Compare that number to current wireless offerings and Republic Wireless' proposed $19 plan seems like a total impossibility.
However, Republic Wireless held to its promise, announcing two large-scale rounds of beta testing last year and finally offering its absurdly low-priced plans to all late last fall. The only catch to Republic Wireless’ service is that users are currently limited to just a single phone option, the Motorola DEFY XT, and the phone isn't cheap...

Mid-range smartphone round-up
|
|
We looked at mid-range smartphones with a resolution of at least 800x480 pixels and a sticker price of no more than 300 euros. Smartphones have evolved to a point where you can find some very interesting models in this segment. The majority of the phones in this test have screens of an acceptable quality, only the Xtreamer Aiki has an old-fashioned TN panel where you barely see anything from an angle. The other phones have good viewing angles.

Silver Aluminium Case for iPhone 4 & 4S Review
|
|
The Metalicus is one of the cases from Cygnett which sport a killer look, is quite affordable and comes in three different color variants. The case is, however, attenuating the GSM signal and occasionally we have also seen WiFi signal drops.

Intel Clover Trail+, Advancing Atom For Smartphones and Tablets
|
|
Today, Intel is keeping on track for execution of their roadmap plan in the mobile space, with the release of their follow-on to Medfield, code-named Clover Trail+. Clover Trail, as you’ll remember, is powering many a Windows 8 tablet these days. Intel's latest Atom-based SoC is a more natural fit here, with the intrinsic advantages of being able to run full X86 compatible software on a tablet or convertible device, while still offering strong battery life performance. That said, Clover Trail+, Intel’s new performance and feature-optimized version of Clover Trail for the smartphone and tablet market, has that same long row to hoe versus incumbents, at least in the highly competitive handset arena.
What’s more than interesting this time around is that Clover Trail+ seems to really have the chops (at least on paper) to keep pace with, and even exceed, certain performance characteristics of current, best-of-class ARM-based architectures that have been so dominant in smartphone designs thus far. And on the power consumption front, Intel is claiming their long-beloved “HUGI” (Hurry-Up and Get Idle) approach to clock gating will afford them a platform power advantage like no other smartphone architecture on the market current. A tall order. Big claims. Is Intel just getting warmed up?

Apple iPod Nano review: generation lost
|
|
As usually is the case with Apple, design and a user-friendly experience aren't cheap, and there are other products with more features and freedom. Often Apple is able to justify the high price with innovative features or hardware, but with the new iPod Nano that's not the case in our opinion.
