Officially Official: The iPhone 4
Posted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsSteve Jobs finally made the iPhone 4 official. He’s probably more glad to see this happen than us with more than a couple iPhone 4s prematurely making their way into journalist’s hands over the last few weeks. But none of that really matters anymore. The iPhone 4 is here. Hardware changes and updates: Jobs “Thinnest smartphone on [...] -

Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ and Flash run like butter on Nexus One (update)
Posted on May 11, 2010 | No Commentsvar digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Android_2_2_Froyo_and_Flash_run_like_butter_on_Nexus_One'; While Adobe evangelist Ryan Stewart wants us to focus on Flash 10.1 performance -- admittedly impressive -- running on his Nexus One, we can't help but be distracted by the Android 2.2 "Froyo" build apparently supporting his device. Can you blame us? It's not like we're alone with waning interest in Flash, especially for video playback. Anyway, from the looks of the homescreen in the grab above, we'll be treated to an updated launcher, Android tutorial, and global search box when the OS is revealed (presumably) at Google I/O starting May 19. And with the giant Froyo statue apparently already delivered to the GooglePlex's confectionary art show, well, the stage is set for 2.2 to be launched in time for Adobe's planned June release of Flash 10.1. Get your glimpse into the future of Flash and Android in the video after the break.
Update: How much faster is a Nexus One running Froyo? 450 percent faster, according to the Android Police. They claim to have a device running the as-yet-unreleased firmware that can perform over 37 million floating-point operations per second in the Linpack benchmark... compared to about 7 megaflops without. Oh yeeaaah.

The ExoPC’s release date and GPU, everyone
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
We've been following the ExoPC's development with a bit of curiosity and excitement. It's one of the only tablets, along with the Notion Ink Adam and WePad, that has a chance to grab a bit of marketshare away from the iPad. The ExoPC just got a bit more interesting, too. Blog Geek just got confirmation that the slate will use the Broadcom BCM70012 or Crystal HD, which should have enough juice to provide silky-smooth 1080p HD video playback. Best of all, though, the tablet is set to come out in within a few months.

It’s Official: Adobe Flash support will be built into Android 2.2

First impressions of Zune firmware 4.5: Video playback works nicely, Smart DJ less nicely
Posted on April 5, 2010 | No CommentsGreat news, everyone! I just upgraded my Zune HD's firmware to the latest and greatest version, version 4.5, and I'm here to report that everything went smoothly... mostly. I probably shouldn't have used the word "everything," then. I can now play Xvid videos just fine, having tested an old SummerSlam 2001 DVD rip that I had in my Zune video folder. (Why I have old WWE DVD rips on my hard drive is a matter for another day.) So no problems whatsoever in that regard.

Acer gets into the Android game
Posted on February 15, 2010 | No CommentsEven as Windows Mobile 7 is set to wow us, more and more manufacturers are heading towards Android. Case in point: the Acer Liquid e. This 786MHz Snapdrago device is as bog standard as they come with GPS, WiFi, and HSDAP support. It also runs Android 2.1 and should be nice and fast. It has a 3.5-inch display and looks like a Zune mated with an N1.
