U.S. Cellular customers yearning for a new LTE supporting tablet will be pleased to know their carrier of choice has something new to keep their data appetite fulfilled – the 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. All that’s needed from you to score the $499 price is a subscription to a new 2-year plan with at least 2 GB of data allowance. If you’ve been waiting for more freedom by way of U.S. Cellular LTE and similarly are eying a new tablet, the time is...
With the debut of the Wireless Plus at CES this past January, I've been eagerly awaiting my shot at testing out Seagate's brand new wireless media hard drive. After ditching my MacBook Air – and all of it's storage – for the iPad, having portable storage on the go is a must. I opted for the 32gb version of the iPad 3 which really gives you no room for saving all of your files, music and movies. After the demo of this device and the app that comes...
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Samsung is doing a fantastic job with marketing, distribution and just about everything else in regards to the hugely popular galaxy line, specifically the Galaxy S II/III and Note I/II devices. If you go out and ask “normal” people what phone they use, chances are you’re either going to get an iPhone of some type or a Samsung device. Even though HTC (and Motorola here and there) released a couple of physically sound...
Everybody’s favorite carrier announced today (via 10,000 press releases) that they’ve got a few new LTE markets going live, as well as a few already deployed markets getting some appreciated TLC. New markets joining AT&T’s LTE footprint include Talahassee, Florida; Lawrence, Kansas and Salinas/Monterey counties in California. Expanded markets such as Tunica, Mississippi; Athens, Tennessee and McMinn/LaFollette/Campbell counties (also in Tennessee) now...
Google Glass is all the rage right now. The current feature set of Google’s baby might not be that impressive all things considered, but the potential is definitely there. In a broader view, the wearables scene is quickly heating up. Back at CES there was a ton of products that could be strapped to your body and synced with other mobile devices. While most were more basic health trackers, some more advanced devices (i.e.: smart watches) also made their mark. But a new...
Moving from Android device to Android device or iOS device to iOS device is ridiculously easy. Moving between Android to iOS or vice versa, however, isn’t the most seamless experience. Sure, some basic things like email, contacts and calendars can make the jump, as well as some data stored on third party cloud storage services. But more often than not, there’s a hiccup or two in the move. That’s why HTC is making some big improvements to their HTC Sync...
The cat and mouse game between Apple and jailbreakers is starting to see the next volley form. iOS hacker and jailbreak dev PlanetBeing has confirmed with Forbes’ Andy Greenberg that the latest iOS 6.1.3 beta closes one of the five exploits used by evasi0n. And without that one exploit, evasi0n itself is dead in the water until the team finds a new exploit to use and patches evasi0n. That said, PlanetBeing’s outlook isn’t so hot, as he says that he expects...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is currently “the” phone to get if you’re the “bigger is better” type when it comes to smartphone screens. And while HTC has a decent offering in the 5-inch DNA, it’s just not on the same playing field. LG, however, has something you might want to look at. The new Optimus G Pro unveiled at MWC is nothing short of powerful thanks to the 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, 13-megapixel camera (2-megapixel...
To many tech minded people, the point-and-shoot camera market has been living on borrowed time for several years now. But at MWC 2013, this time is now looking shorter than ever with sensor designer, Aptina, unveiling their new 1080p and 4K sensors for mobile devices. The 12 and 13-megapixel sensors are slated for release in end user hardware sometime during Q2 and Q3 and bring with them support for 4K video @ 30 fps as well as 1080p video capture at 96 fps (AR1230). An...
“Don’t call it a case” is Twelve South’s catchphrase when talking about their new SurfacePad…umm…cover for the iPhone 5. Where as many folio style cases and other similarly designed covers are bulky and cumbersome, the SurfacePad is not – at least it sets out not to be. Can this (not) case satisfy those looking for some good screen and backside protection on their iPhone without having to wield something that makes using your phone...
