Back in December of last year, I had the opportunity to review Samsung’s first Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab 7″. I liked it well enough, but ended my review saying that I really wanted an iPad sized Android tablet because a 10″ screen is the sweet spot for me. Since that time I’ve reviewed a [...]

The best thing about Android smartphones are all the apps that you can download. Unfortunately, it can also be really frustrating to find the best app in any one category. Who has time to try 50 bazillion calendar apps to find the best one? Luckily, we might have a new solution to that problem because [...]

A lot of smartphone users I know have young children like I do. While every kid is unique, one consistent theme is that the little buggers are constantly asking to play a game or watch a movie or something. And sometimes, that’s OK, such as when their only alternative activity is shrieking in a restaurant, [...]

About 3 weeks ago, a box from Sprint arrived. Inside the box was a kitten. No, sorry…actually it was this nifty 7″ Android tablet from HTC, the EVO View 4G. After using it almost daily, and discussing it with everybody I could corner, I’m still somewhat conflicted about whether or not I’d buy one. [...]

Dedicated eBook reading devices tend to fall in one of two categories: E-ink or Color. Examples of E-ink eBook readers are the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook (the original and new Simple Touch version) and various Sony Readers. The most popular color reader is currently the Barnes & Noble Nook Color. But today I’m [...]

I generally use my Smartphone for non-game activities, but I like to keep an assortment of good games around- backgammon, mah jong, solitaire, and so on. One of my old Palm favorites was a Pop Cap game called Bejeweled. I played it and some clones (mostly a nice version called JewelLust) but the game play [...]

Yes, yet another Android Phone that is soon to hit the streets. However, I like the design of this one. And word is the keyboard is quite good, but it is heavier than the G2 (which is quite weighty). It seems that it will be running Sense UI, with some myTouch tweaks here and there. [...]

As I was writing this post about how disappointing it was that Gingerbread was not coming to the HTC Desire, news broke that it actually is coming. Originally HTC UK stated on its Facebook page that they just couldn’t get it done. “Our engineering teams have been working hard for the past few months to [...]

Virgin Mobile recently announced probably the most significant smartphone to hit prepaid carriers Ever. The Motorola Triumph. If you have been thinking of dumping one of the majors and going prepaid, this is probably the phone that would help you make that final decision.

Smartphones with slide out keyboards are not unusual. But the same can’t be said about a smartphone with a slide out gaming controller. The Sony Xperia PLAY (aka the Playstation Phone) from Sony Ericsson and Verizon Wireless is an Android powered smartphone for those of you that love to play games but aren’t so thrilled [...]

I love to listen to music on my various gadgets, and I have a bunch, including some Android gadgets. So once I got my invitation I was excited to try the new Google Music Beta. It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I am fed up with iTunes. I am a Windows pc [...]

Why wake up to a high pitched screeching alarm, practically terrifying yourself out of bed, when your own body can tell your alarm when would be the least jarring time to wake you? The WakeMate wristband records your subtle body movements, and using Actigraphy will deduce the best time to wake you, then communicate that [...]

Last August I made the decision to break up with AT&T and my iPhone 4 in order to start a new relationship with Verizon and the Motorola Droid X. Although I’ve enjoyed the Android OS and the Droid X more than I thought I would, I’ve continued to miss things about the iPhone. Some of [...]

I have a confession to make. I actually own a Fossil Palm OS watch. It seemed like an interesting idea, but it was huge. Now I’m Watch (an Italian company) has create an Android Watch. It looks very slick, but as best as I can see, all the images on their web site are graphic [...]

I’ve spent the last month using Sprint’s Nexus S 4G Android smartphone from Samsung. As there has already been a lot written about the Nexus S 4G, this mini-review will be limited to my personal opinions about the device. The Nexus S is, summarily, a “pure Google” or “pure Android” phone, as there’s absolutely zero [...]

Last month, I reviewed the Fling Gaming Controller from Ten One Design. I found it to be a great way to improve playability for some games on the iPad and Android tablets. It adds real joystick feel to games that use an on-screen virtual controller. The only downside to the Fling was that it was [...]

One of the more logical recommendations emergency workers offer is there should be some way to quickly find your emergency contacts and information in your wallet or on your cell phone. For the last several years, they have suggested you make a listing for ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) with your primary contact’s information listed. [...]
