You know the feeling when you pick up a good book and just, for the life of you, can't put it down? You read it on the subway, you read it on the sidewalk at risk of running into people and lampposts, and you read it at work when you should be doing other things… like working. That's exactly how I feel about the entire experience with Barnes & Noble's Nook Simple Touch with...
The EVO 4G in 2010 was a big deal for Sprint. Not only was it the first U.S. phone to offer WiMAX, but the device was also fast, beautiful and stood out as probably the best (at the time) Android smartphone on the market. But Sprint began to lose its way, resulting in a lull of truly flagship-worthy devices (save for the introduction of Apple's iPhone). Now, Sprint is hoping it can...
Five months ago, the Asus' Transformer Prime was hotter than Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games. Not only was the tablet fast, sleek, and well built; it was the first device that made consumers question the iPad's dominance. (And did we mention it came with Nvidia's much hyped Tegra 3 chip?) In a nutshell, the Prime finally gave Android owners a tablet to be proud of. Now the sequel is in...
The HTC One S was announced alongside the HTC One X (be sure to read our full review) and the One V during Mobile World Congress in February. The One S, spec-wise, sits right between the two phones, but it's not really much of a downgrade from the One X. It offers the same super fast ImageSense camera engine, a thinner body, an excellent industrial design and a dual-core Qualcomm...
Apple’s headquarters are known to be so secretive that, in an order to protect new projects, there are allegedly rooms even some company executives aren’t allowed to see. Unless you’re an employee or a highly-trusted partner, odds are you haven’t had a chance to step into the company’s Mothership. But we’re going to let you in on a little secret: now you can. AppleGazette scoured the...
Today at Nokia World in London, Nokia announced the Nokia Lumia 710. The budget-friendly handset sports a lot of the same specs as the high-end Nokia Lumia 800, but with a plastic form-factor, LCD instead of AMOLED screen, and a 5-megapixel camera. One unique feature of the 710 is that it has removable back covers. The covers are available in all the same colors as Windows Phone tiles...
Microsoft has announced that it has retired its Windows Live Gallery so that the company can focus its efforts on developing applications for Windows 8 and the “much richer set of opportunities available for the newest version of Windows.” Some of the most popular and highest rated Gadgets will remain available through the Windows Personalization Gallery, but Microsoft is no longer...
Samsung's Galaxy S II quickly became my favorite Android phone to date when I first laid eyes on it back at Mobile World Congress this past February. The first U.S. variant of the GS2, Sprint's Epic Touch 4G, just became my favorite Android phone currently available on an American carrier. Epic Touch's combination of a big, beautiful display, processing power to spare, and a thin, light...
