    Google Can't Ignore The Android Update Problem Any Longer (Op Ed)

    Your post is based on your perception of your experience. My experience, which includes over a year of using an iPhone 5s and 18 years of using mobile devices, and 2 years as a contributing editor on an Android blog doesn't bring me to the same conclusion at all. Have you read my previous...

    Google Can't Ignore The Android Update Problem Any Longer (Op Ed)

    Here are some points that I think are valid to consider as part of your conversation. 1. Most Apple updates only give the best features to the newest devices. How is that not fragmentation? 2. More than once older Apple devices have become slow or unusable with the latest updates installed...

    Hands On: Jorno Tri-Fold Mobile Bluetooth Keyboard

    I had the original Stowaway folding keyboard for my Casio E-125 Pocket PC years ago and loved that keyboard! I tried two bluetooth keyboards since then and they were both terrible. One had a split down the middle I didn't like (like the new MS Bluetooth keyboard) and one was just very cheaply...

    HTC One Mini 2 vs HTC One M8: What's the Difference?

    One fact that often seems overlooked is the Droid Mini is the only "mini" that's just as good as the premium/full version phone. The only differences in the Droid Mini compared to the Droid Maxx or Ultra is the screen size, screen type, and battery size. It's the same resolution display, same...

    All New HTC One: All the Hardware Rumors So Far

    bigstonebang...you're right but so is the article. The North American version of the GS3 had 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon S4 processor. The international version only had 1GB of RAM and an Exynos processor. The Snapdragon was probably due to problems the Exynos has with North American LTE...

    Apple Marketing Head Says Samsung Made Job a Lot Harder

    I love this comment: "We were not trying to respond to competition… We were simply trying to make our product better." What a lie! I can't believe he had the nerve to say that after their previous "brilliant leader" insisted that 10" was the perfect size for a tablet and anything smaller was...

    Apple Marketing Head Says Samsung Made Job a Lot Harder

    What a joke! The Samsung's have a larger display, larger battery, smaller die size (less heat, better battery life), more RAM, upgradable storage, and some can be used as TV remotes. All that not to mention Android benefits like 3rd party keyboards (then again the built in Android keyboard is...

    Motorola Takes Big Losses in Q3

    I think it's a stretch to say Apple is giving Android, or Windows Phone for that matter, any real competition. It's more like Samsung is giving Moto great competition. Apple doesn't have a clue but people just buy anything they put out (the iPad Mini and iPod Shuffle are two great examples)...

    Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One Win at Annual EISA Awards

    Not that it really makes a difference but HTC did innovate with the camera on the HTC One. It uses three sensors in parallel to get better low light performance than any other phone camera, well it should be better than any phone except maybe the Moto X and the new Droids which use a pentile...

    Ask Me Anything - Official Qualcomm Representatives

    One advantage of many newer phones with Qualcomm chipsets is the integration of the radios, keeping all the essential electronics small (28nm) and close to each other. Are all current (S4 Pro, 600, 800) Snapdragons like this or do some have separate, non-integrated radio's. From some of the...

    Ask Me Anything - Official Qualcomm Representatives

    My understanding is that Qualcomm quad-core processors can operate on any number of cores. If that's correct and they can operate on a single core to save power when that core is sufficient for the current does that mean your quad-core processors actually require less power, at minimum than...

    Rumor: Windows Phone 9 Will Be Built from Scratch

    Microsoft needs to do what Nintendo needs to do. Make versions of your software for all the other hardware that's out there!!!

    Sony Planning to Not Lose Money with New PlayStation 4

    At release the PS3 was actually $599 USD for the high end (60GB) model. I know because I bought one at that price.

    Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa Functions as a Quad-Core Processor, Says Developer

    YES!!!! That's right! Note to all! Please stop calling it an eight-core processor. It doesn't take a developer to figure this out. That fact was very clear day one but many people seemed to miss it, probably because Samsung kept referring to it as octa-core.
