OUYA already said its Android-powered device would be available in June to the general consumer, and today it announced a precise date: June 4. Shipments will actually start going out today to those who backed the device on Kickstarter, so don't be surprised to see some hands-on videos and impressions relatively soon-ish. When the device is more widely available, consumers can pick the...
The Kindle Fire is dead. The almost eight-month-old tablet, which still runs on Android 2.3 by the way, was just thoroughly outclassed by Google. From today on, Amazon's $199 device will merely exist in our collective memories; it's a blueprint and an example of how to execute and introduce price-friendly alternatives, but nothing more. We're now looking toward the future. Meet the...
NVIDIA and Intellectual Ventures announced on Monday a joint venture in which both companies will acquire a portfolio of nearly 500 patents from IPWireless. “These patents, acquired in collaboration with Intellectual Ventures, will help support our rapidly expanding efforts in the mobile business,” said David Shannon NVIDIA’s executive vice president and general counsel. Most notable of...
We’ve been playing The Dark Meadow for the past several hours on our ASUS Transformer Prime and it just made its debut in NVIDIA’s Tegra Zone for its quad-core Tegra 3 devices. First – we’re blown away by the graphics. Second — it’s so addictive (and pretty scary!) that we didn’t sleep too well last night. Here’s the gist: You awake in what appears to be some sort of abandoned hospital...
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...
HTC One X - Tegra 3 - vs HTC One S - Snapdragon S4 We’ve been dying to get our hands on both the HTC One X and the HTC One S for one particular reason: The two phones finally give us an opportunity in which we can — as closely as possible – compare the performance of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip and the Snapdragon S4 (hands-on video here). The One X employs the quad-core Tegra 3 processor...
We just reviewed the HTC's brand new flagship device, the One X (video review here). There's so much to talk about with this phone, however, so we figured it'd be helpful for our readers to see a quick top 5 rundown of our favorite features. Let's get started: 1. Incredible Industrial Design The HTC One X is chock full of amazing features: it's built of a super sturdy and scratch-...
HTC first announced the One X during Mobile World Congress as its brand new flagship smartphone. It offers NVIDIA's latest and greatest quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, an insanely sharp 720p HD display, 32GB of storage, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and so much more. I've been using the European version of the One X as my primary device for the past several days — is...
We're super excited for NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 chipset and the only thing holding back our excitement was that the chip didn't originally support 4G LTE networks. That originally meant that we weren't expecting any quad-core packing 4G LTE phones. That all just changed on Thursday, however, when NVIDIA announced it has entered into a 4G LTE pact with GCT Semiconductor and Renesas...
HTC's next flagship handset has been given its third name today, as more details emerge about the Taiwanese company's first quad-core smartphone. Initially called the HTC Edge, the device was renamed the HTC Endeavor earlier this month, but it's now being branded the HTC One. Thanks to a leaked ROM that surfaced this week, we already know a lot about the One's internals. The handset is...
