AT&T Novatel MiFi 2372 Review
On AT&T’s network, MiFi has been a myth, a legend, a fictional story that you can tell your children. It almost seemed as though AT&T was at odds with these clever new devices, or at least it was pushing a mild anti-MiFi agenda for some reason. CDMA foes Sprint and Verizon (heck, even Virgin Mobile) [...]
AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G Hands-on at CES 2011
By a large margin, Motorola Mobility stole the show at CES 2011. Though several companies like LG, HTC and Samsung stepped up to the plate and delivered some great new handsets (and tablets), Motorola not only announced several new top-notch handsets but also a tablet in the Motorola Xoom that could quite possibly be the [...]
AT&T HTC Freestyle Hands-On at CES 2011
With all of the crazy 4G smartphones announced at the AT&T Developer Summit here at CES 2011, there was one smartphone in particular that will hold a large amount of significance for AT&T going forward. And if you blinked during the Developer Summit, you missed it. It’s called the HTC Freestyle, and on the surface [...]
Dell Venue Hands-on at CES 2011
One of the most aloof devices at CES 2011 is the Dell Venue, recently announced — first in Asia, now here in the US at CES 2011. Finding one to ogle over is pretty difficult because the only presence Dell has on the show floor is a dinky little booth that showed only the Streak [...]
Sprint HTC EVO Shift 4G Preview and Hands-On at CES 2011
Live from CES 2011, I recently had the opportunity to sit down with the HTC crew and chat about mobile phones, our hopes and dreams, and obviously play around with some of the newest phones that were announced at CES this week. One such device I was able to play with was the HTC EVO [...]
LG Optimus Black Gets Hands-On at CES 2011
LG was able to do a great job implementing its mobile product launches at this year’s CES. The Optimus 2X was announced prior to the show as the very first Tegra2 dual-core mobile device, effectively stealing the thunder from NVIDIA and other companies also launching Tegra2 at CES; Wednesday LG launched the Optimus Black; and [...]
AT&T HTC Inspire 4G Hands-On at CES 2011
I was able to do a hands-on of the HTC Inspire 4G. The difference with this one, compared to other hands-on previews I’ve done so far, is this one was not eyes-on. Due to the Inspire and Freestyle not having reached Technical Certification, it’s still considered by AT&T to be in pre-beta and they don’t [...]
LG Optimus 2X Gets Hands-on Preview at CES
You may remember hearing about the Optimus 2X, even if it got completely lost in the woodwork once CES officially began and the LG Revolution and Optimus Black were introduced. The Optimus 2X is still highly regarded, since it is going to be one of the first phones that come with a Tegra2 dual-core 1 [...]
T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 Hands-on at CES 2011
You ought to admire Dell’s tenacity. Here we are, seeing the computer giant launch a new larger version of the tablet/smartphone hybrid Dell Streak we saw soft-launched on AT&T with rather paltry results. None of the ingredients seemed to work with the original 5-inch option, but with a little tweaking here and there Dell may [...]
Blackberry Playbook Hands-On at CES 2011
Certainly the Blackberry Playbook, the very first venture for the Canadian company out into the tablet world, had some of the most hype going into the CES 2011 show. After all, for a company that has spent the last 2 years stuck in the past, it’s good to see RIM starting to branch out and [...]
LG Confirms Honeycomb Tablet to be Unveiled at CES 2011
If there was any doubt that CES 2011 would be the beginning of the Honeycomb tablet wars, additional confirmations coming through Australian blog Smarthouse will help put those doubts to rest. Sources have confirmed that LG Electronics will indeed, as speculated, take the covers off a 8.9″-screen tablet that happens to run Android 3.0, also [...]
