HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Sony, and many others had plenty of exciting announcements and new devices to show off at this year’s MWC. And looking back over 2010, the same companies had equally impressive portfolios spanning many different price points, form factors, etc. And yet, Apple’s iPhone 4 is the recipient of the GSMA’s coveted “Phone of the Year” award for 2010. At first, it seems slightly odd given that Apple never attends shared events...

Let the title sink in for a moment — “100x the power of Tegra 2“. What could you or would you do with that kind of power? Probably give up desktop (and possibly even traditional laptops) altogether. We may be drooling of late 2011/early 2012 “Kal-El/Tegra 3 SoCs, but the graph above shown off by Nvidia at the 2011 MWC shows us what we should really be looking forward to.

Could your future Evo 4G 5 run off of LTE instead of WiMAX? That’s a very real possibility according to statements made by Sprint’s Senior Vice President of Networks, Bob Azzi. According to Azzi, Sprint will be evaluating WiMAX adoption and customer movement from 3G to 4G over the next 4-6 months.
