I have to admit, when I first heard about the iPad and how it was considered to be the next BIG thing, I was among those who bagged on it and thought that it was a total gimmick. I figured it was more of a novelty…you didn’t really NEED it because many of the things that one would do on it could easily be done on an existing laptop, but then apps came along. Now, iPads can be used as several different things from DJ turntables, to digital notebooks…which leads me to the main point of this article. Since the iPad’s successful adoption, we’ve seen a plethora of tablets saturate the market. Despite all this, I still could not justify the need for a tablet, until now. The HTC Flyer tablet, which will be available at Best Buy stores this Sunday, May 22, may be the only tablet out there that has a TRUE productivity feature. Read on to see what makes this tablet so special.

The Droid Incredible 2, successor to one of the most popular smartphones in Verizon’s lineup will make its relatively quiet debut tomorrow, Thursday, April 28, 2011. When the device was originally announced as the HTC Incredible S, many cellphone junkies decided to write it off immediately when initial specs revealed that the device was not  going to sport a dual-core processor. Although the Droid Incredible 2 falls short in many categories (we’ll discuss them later) compared to the recent and upcoming competition, many would argue that it is still an amazing device that deserves our attention, so let’s talk about the pros and cons of the device and help you decide if it’s worthy of your money.

HTC EVO 3D: The Next Generation of Superphone (UPDATED)

If you haven’t heard by now, manufacturers are beginning to produce 3D phones.  Yes, I know what you’re thinking, you’re wondering when will this overproduction and gross misuse of 3D technology end?!  But, we’ll get to that later.

The HTC EVO 3D is truly a beast.  The EVO 3D integrates all of the features of next generation smartphones; namely a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, HDMI out (via USB and DLNA), HD video capture, and wireless tethering (see full specs below).  To put it simply, this phone will come equipped with industry leading processing power and RAM when it ships later this summer. This means that your apps will open faster, your phone will run smoother, and you can play graphically intense games without a hitch.  You can also video chat with your friends and give your computer or laptop an Internet connection when no WiFi is available in your surrounding area.  Yet all of these features can be found on many recently released and upcoming superphones (e.g. T-Mobile G2x and HTC Sensation).  So what is it that separates the EVO 3D from the rest? Take a guess and continue reading after the break.

Should you buy the T-Mobile G2x now, or wait for the HTC Sensation?

HTC Sensation

I’m sure many smartphone enthusiasts out there can agree that the next big thing in the cellular world is the inclusion of multi-core processors in future smartphones. With the recent release of the T-Mobile G2x by LG, many potential buyers were met with a difficult dilemma when HTC announced that their new multimedia powerhouse, the Sensation, is set for a summer release here in the US on T-Mobile. So would it be wise to wait for the Sensation and go with the tried-and-true Taiwanese manufacturer, or buy the G2x now and see if LG’s ready for the high-end arena? Here I present what I feel are the most important aspects that you should consider when deciding. So if you care to hear me out, hit the break and read on!
