DNP Nexus 7 review

In 2008, when the Eee PC was revolutionizing the computing world and driving every manufacturer to make cheaper and smaller laptops, Sony washed its hands of the whole thing. The “race to the bottom,” the company said, would profoundly impact the industry, killing profit margins and flooding the market with cheap, terrible machines. Sony was wrong, its stance lasting about a year before joining the competition with its own VAIO W.

Four years on we’re buying better laptops than ever before and,

We’ve previously reported about the various rumors of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 floating around. Today, an exclusive tip that was given to GSM Arena has the Note 2 confirmed to have a 5.5″ Super AMOLED screen with the phones design taking a kin to the Samsung Galaxy S III.

The software maker said Monday that its device will attach to a removable rubberized keyboard that also

T-Mobile (Huawei) Prism on sale now for

Need an Android phone for not much dough? Live in a reliable T-Mobile 3G area? Then you might want to consider the “T-Mobile” Prism, Huawei’s latest de-branded device for the American carrier. The Prism is low-end in every sense of the word, but that doesn’t necessarily mean bad and the low-end is moving forward nearly as fast as flagship devices are. The biggest improvement here is the 3.5-inch 480×320 touchscreen, markedly larger and sharper than the 3.2-inch screens that typify the c

The HTC Sensation XL is one of two upgraded versions of the original HTC Sensation. In this article I will look at the key features of the HTC Sensation so you can decide if it is the right smartphone for you.

 

The HTC Sensation XL measures up at 132.5x 70.7x 9.9mm, so it is somewhat larger than its predecessor. The handset is finished in a white colour scheme which makes it stand out from the majority of the competition. The overall design of the device is very similar to the

A new picture of the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 in a white colour scheme has surfaced via a public relations company which has got us all very intrigued, Weber Shandwick have added their logo to a new photograph of the Galaxy SIII in white which is possibly the closest design we’ve seen to what should be the upgrade to the Galaxy S2.

We were so busy fondling gaming machines and touchscreen Ultrabooks at CeBIT last week that we missed that tablet you see up there. That would be the Prestigio Multi 9.7, which — surprise, surprise — sports a 9.7-inch display. What’s intriguing to us (besides the fact that we’re generally obsessed with this sort of thing), is that we don’t see nearly as many budget 10-inch tablets as we do 7-inchers. As you can see in the video below, it has a nice, fingerprint-resistant rubber back, along wi

The Android Market has morphed significantly since its inception, which now allows users to purchase books, music and rent movies, all from within a hub that was originally designed for just apps. To recognize this fundamental shift — and emphasize the availability of content for sale — Google is launching a new platform known as Google Play. The move hints at a strategy shift from just Android to the cloud as a whole, and establishes an umbrella brand for the diverse content sold by Google.

Hands On with the ASUS Padfone [Video]

Hot on the heels of the ASUS Padfone announcement at Mobile World Congress, we now have a nice hands on video thanks to our friends at PhoneArena. While this phone and tablet accessory have been in the works for a quite a long time now, it looks like it will actually start to arrive to unsaid markets in April. One thing I am happy to see is that ASUS opted for the onscreen ICS buttons rather than the hardware buttons we have seen on earlier prototypes it definitely makes for a cleaner look in

Google working on home-entertainment system that wirelessly streams music

Google Planning To Introduce Their Own Home Entertainment System Later This Year

You may remember back during last year’s Google I/O when Google showed off their vision for a fully connected living room, dubbed Android@Home.

Developers too, have been receiving the same silent treatment from Google, but after some new developments reported from the Wall Street Journal, we may now know why.

They didn’t release a full on spec list of the Sprint Galaxy Nexus but it does appear to be a smaller 16GB model and will include Google Wallet (something Verizon felt the need to leave out). Along with the Galaxy Nexus tea
