htc evo4g 7

I was recently sent the HTC EVO 4G LTE Android Smartphone for Sprint and it reminded me of the fact that I used to enjoy building my own desktop computers by picking out the case, motherboard, video card, audio card, monitor, OS, etc. I would always get exactly what I wanted that way. I sure wish we could

If I was a bicycle enthusiast, I’d be all over the ECOXPOWER from ECOXGEAR. It’s a pedal powered front / rear headlight for your bike that can also charge your USB devices. As it is, I don’t ride bikes because I have bad knees. Or that’s what I tell people. Actually, I don’t ride bikes

Be The Robot (BERO for short) is the latest Kickstarter project to cause a blip on my gadget radar. You’ve probably seen the small Green  Android figurines on the market that seem to sell out as fast as they are made. BERO is about that same size (4″), but has up to 6 motors for

The MG is a new Kickstarter project looking to score a whopping $950,000 in pledges. What is it? It’s a handheld Android WiFi gaming device.
