    LG Ally review

    Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
    You know, not every smartphone has to be putting down maxed-out hardware. That's a lesson that Nokia is certainly taking to heart, concentrating many of its latest efforts on lower-end Symbian devices that it hopes will capture entire new swaths of users that'd otherwise be buying dumbphones with half the functionality (and far less than half of the revenue potential). In the world of Android, though, recent devices like the EVO 4G, Droid, Droid Incredible, and Nexus One have admittedly caused us to grow accustomed to the idea that we should all be using blazingly fast processors and huge WVGA displays.

    In reality, of course, Android is an extraordinarily scalable platform; there's a whole world of hardware (and around $200 of on-contract pricing) below today's latest round of "superphones." At $100 on a two-year deal, the LG Ally sort of typifies what we'd expect out of a midrange Android device right now -- a gap-filler that can capture users seeking a Droid experience on a Kin Two budget. So does it hold up in the day-to-day grind, or are you going to be begging for a Droid by day two? Let's find out.

    Iron Man 2 will be the widest release in history (and it’s already made $121 million overseas)

    Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
    Excited for Iron Man 2? How could you be, after finding out that the movie's producers removed all of the first movie's charm? But, whatever, let's not mince any words: the movie will be huge. It opens at midnight tonight here in the U.S. in what threatens to be the widest movie release in the history of movie releases. Actually, "threatens" is the wrong word to use: it will, in fact, be the widest release ever.

    Next-gen iPad said to have OLED screen (deja vu, anyone?)

    Posted on April 19, 2010 | No Comments
    The Apple rumor mill is back up and running its dirty tricks again. This time we hear that the iPad is supposed to get an OLED screen just like we heard in the past MacBook Pros and iPhpnes were going to get the better screens. So being burned at least twice before, we're a little hesitant to take this report seriously.

    Maingear stuffs an Intel Core i7 980X into the SHIFT and still calls it an everyday super computer

    Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
    The Maingear Shift line is designed for serious computing on a budget. You won't find silly automatic airvents or fancy-pants hard drive trays here. Nope, it's just a good, solid computer platform meant for those looking to have their own super computer. And that super computer goal is even more achievable now that the Intel Core i7 980X is one of the CPU options.

  • CES so far

    CES so far

    Posted on January 9, 2010 | No Comments
    CES always seems shorter than it really is. We've been here in Vegas since Tuesday, reporting live on almost everything of any importance, and we're all goofy and tired. I usually hate CES. It's a long slog through endless halls and repetitive meetings that go over what has already been gone over. But this year was different. This year's CES was strangely subdued yet refreshing. CE companies have stopped the genitalia-waving associated with speeds, sizes, and megapixels and have started producing products with considerably more finesse. The devices we saw were well-designed and featured a number of clever UI tricks that can turn an average iPod dock into a thoughtful device designed for a specific purpose and person.

  • DROID ERIS hands-on and unboxing!

    DROID ERIS hands-on and unboxing!

    Posted on November 5, 2009 | 1 Comment

    Filed under: , , ,

    Hey look, it's a Hero! We've got the brand new DROID ERIS for Verizon in hand, and it's not hard to see which particular family of phones it hails from. Still, Verizon has its own twist on the form factor, almost scoring a compromise between the "shiny" Sprint Hero and the more angular, matte GSM Hero. Confusingly, the capacitive touch buttons along the bottom of the ERIS' screen are a haphazard twist on the DROID's arrangement (though it's really Motorola that's the non-standard one here), but the phones don't look completely unrelated. In all the rounded, black matte body of the ERIS sort of "fades away" and you're just left with a nice, bright LCD -- it's not making a statement, which is sort of the statement. There's also an iPhone-style face proximity sensor for turning off the display during calls, and HTC has multitouch pinch-to-zoom on here, something Motorola hasn't seemed to manage. Sure it can't stack up to the DROID for aggressiveness or sheer specs, but it's got it's own sort of budget-friendly charm that's not overshadowed by the DROID's bombastic ways, and two out of three Engadget editors agree that the HTC keyboard beats the pants off the stock Android keyboard.
