Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Review

    Its showing wasn't as noteworthy as it was last year, but Motorola still at least brought a few new goodies to put on display. The latest major addition to Verizon's Droid Razr family, the Razr Maxx, was on hand, as were the white and purple variants of the original version. So what makes the $300 subsidized Maxx so different from its predecessor? Simply enough, the name is a direct reflection of the phone's battery life, as it sports a thicker (translating to a thickness of 8.99mm, a couple millimeters thicker than the original) 3,300 mAh juicepack that promises an out-of-this-world 21 hour talk time. Sadly, we didn't have 21 full hours to dedicate to testing this claim, but we did have enough time to get a few pictures and a video of the entire Droid Razr family together at last below the break.

 

                                  

                                        

Samsung gets tired of neighbors watching its Transparent Smart Window, installs blinds

    Samsung's transparent OLED displays may not be the freshest piece of tech at CES, but its still pretty dang awesome. We first saw Samsung's 46-inch 1920 x 1080 digitally augmented window back in March, but dropped by its CES booth for a second look. Although the touchscreen window still teases to fulfill our fevered sci-fi dreams, not much has changed -- it's still clear, it's still loaded with widgets, and it's still not anywhere near being installed in your home. Samsung told us this was still a concept device, although they did mention that the technology could be scaled down for use in military visors and heads up displays. Hit the break to see a video demo of a few new apps, including a rather slick set of digital blinds.

Mercedes-Benz gesture control concept is DICEy

  

   Ze Germans seem to be obsessed with Minority Report-style interior controls, and Mercedes-Benz has taken it to the next level with a full-scale interior with nary a button or switch to be found.

Mercedes' Dynamic & Intuitive Control Experience (DICE) utilizes a series of proximity sensors to detect arm and hand movements, which control everything from music, navigation and social functionality to a heads-up display that comprises the entire windshield.

You can get a feel for the system in action in the video after the break, but as you'll see, it's very beta, mistaking hand movements for selections and generally being a pain to use – let alone control while you're driving a car. Thankfully, Mercedes has plenty of time to work out the kinks as it won't be coming to production for at least a couple decades.

Apple TV review

  

   You've been waiting, and it's finally here: the Apple TV review. Months before Steve Jobs announced the new set top box at Apple's annual fall event, we had been reporting on news that the company would strike out again into the TV market, offering a small, low-cost box that had more in common with the iPhone than the iMac. When those rumors came to fruition, we were presented with the completely revamped Apple TV -- a tiny black puck of a device priced at a staggering $99, and centered around a handful of completely new ideas (for the folks in Cupertino at least) about getting content onto your TV screen. The first is a new rental system which allows you to nab brand new TV shows at $0.99 a rental, and HD movies for $4.99 a go (or $3.99 for older titles). And that includes new releases the same day DVDs hit shelves (or Netflix distribution centers). Speaking of Netflix, the new Apple TV also features the rental service's "Watch Instantly" as a wholly integrated component of its offerings, alongside a new function the company calls AirPlay which will allow you to "push" video and audio content from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with the tap of a button. On top of that, the new ATV streamlines sharing from your home computers or laptops, making getting content you own onto your TV dead simple. So, has Apple finally solved the "second box" problem, or are they still struggling to turn this hobby into a real business? Follow along after the break for those answers (and more) in our full review of the Apple TV!

Play Digital Media Content:

It’s easy to wirelessly sync up the Apple TV to an iTunes account on a Mac or PC to start playing some music from your music library. Imagine listening to those songs and albums on a home theater sound system! Plus, the iTunes LP feature is really cool on the Apple TV (or your Mac or Windows PC); it’s essentially a virtual and interactive version of the album. Play music, watch videos, animation and more, on select albums that have the iTunes LP feature.

One of the coolest things about owning a Mac is how many software apps can help you create content. iMovie lets you edit and share home movies or your own little short films, TV shows and video skits, whether on DVD, online, the iPhone, iPod, iPad or even the Apple TV.

In iMovie, once you’re done editing, go to Share, Export Using QuickTime, then select Export and choose Movie to Apple TV. You can save a video file up to 1280 x 720p HD. This is a great way to watch your video creations.

In iPhoto, you can organize, edit and share your photos; create a slideshow to playback on the Apple TV. They’re organized also by Events or Faces, thus giving you a nice photo browsing experience. You can also access your photos from the Apple TV without having to use iPhoto.

Internet Content:

The Apple TV will playback videos from YouTube and music from a large assortment of online radio stations that cover pretty much every music genre, talk radio, etc. Listen also to podcasts, which were popularized on iTunes and view photos on Flickr and MobileMe.

However, you can’t use the Apple TV to view other videos online, such as those from websites including Vimeo. Pandora and similar internet music streaming sites aren’t supported, either. While some users may not be happy with this, there are still others who won’t mind not being able to use these internet sites.

YouTube is pretty much the biggest on the web for videos, and streaming music from your iTunes library, plus the internet radio stations, more than make up for it. Keep in mind that videos optimized for small computer screens may appear fuzzy on a bigger TV screen, when accessing YouTube. But most of the content we viewed looked and sounded great. Users can also access videos uploaded to their MobileMe accounts.

Help/Support:

The Apple TV is supported on both Apple computers running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and under, and Windows PCs running Vista and XP, plus the latest version of iTunes. Keep in mind that a computer isn’t required to set-up and operate the Apple TV, but you can sync your iTunes Store purchases, play movies and music, photos and more.

Apple’s award-winning technical support is by far one of the best in the business, and it definitely shines here with the Apple TV. There is 90 days of complimentary phone support, but after that it will cost around $49 to call Apple again for help. However, for that same price, AppleCare for the Apple TV can be purchased, giving full phone support for two years from the purchase date. We called in and got someone on the phone within a couple of minutes.

If you’re having any issues with the Apple TV and your computer’s iTunes (syncing or backing up), the AppleCare plan will provide support for that, too.

Other types of support include Apple’s extensive FAQs and Knowledge Base found on their website, along with email, a user's manual and user forums.

Summary:

With all the great features, including iTunes Store content, playback of photos, music and videos from your computer and much more, the Apple TV is a fantastic device amongst similar home media servers. It’s easy to use and navigate to find content to watch or listen to.

Playstation Vita Review

   With the huge success of PlayStation Portable selling over 71.4 million units worldwide, Sony is all set to release the next version of the PSP called as the PS Vita. The gaming console packs a quad-core graphics processor, which is even impressive than the iPad 2. It looks quite similar to the PSP, however without any doubt the Vita is more impressive and elegantly designed. It sports a 5-inch OLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, 24-bit color with a resolution of 960 × 540 qHD and has pixel density of 220 ppi.

    The Playstation Vita is silmilar to it’s predecessor in design, size and although quite a bit heavier than the PSP 3000, it is lighter than the PSP 1000. The Playstation Vita sports a slightly larger screen, with it’s beautiful 5-inch OLED screen. The screen displays very bright and beautiful images, but suffers from the same fundamental problem as the PSP screen did, it has trouble keeping glare out even with the brightness turned all the way up, the device is very difficult to play outside. The Playstation Vita is jammed with technology though, sporting the four face buttons (notably smaller than the PS3 controllers and PSP face buttons), two shoulder buttons, a “Playstation Home” button that will pause the current application and allow you to access other applications, two thumbsticks which are significantly smaller than on a PS3 controller or the PSP but are raised and feel like thumbsticks. On top of that the system has a front multi-touch screen, rear touch panel, front and rear facing camera as well as built in six-axis control (Yes it works significantly better then the six-axis controller).

    First thing you will notice when booting up the Playstation Vita is that Sony did away with the XMB in favor for floating circles that represent the apps that you have on your system. Whether it be apps pre-installed, apps from the PS Store or games that have installed onto your system, everything can be accessed from this screen. When you first put in a game cartridge the game will install a very small file onto the system, which will act as you’re game launcher. From there it will bring you to a launch screen, dedicating memory and such to the game, but the system hasn’t started the game yet. From this launch screen you can update the game or browse the internet for more information about the game as well as being able to access the in-game manual. The multi-tasking is handled surprisingly well, the vita can have up to six different applications open at the same time that you can switch through with ease. When finished with the application you simply swipe from the top right to the bottom left and peel away the application and poof it’s gone. It’s a visually pleasing effect and closes almost instantly making a very fluid experience.

    Let’s get this one out of the way. The battery life is awful, but considering the specs of the device it’s impressive they can get as long as they do. The system will get about 5 hours of play time per charge, with about the same time running network features but i’m guessing significantly less if network features aren’t disabled throughout the game. Luckily you have a few different options to charge, the system charged via USB cord. There’s a wall adaptor included but you can also charge from your computer and PS3. The Vita has some compatibility with the Playstation 3 at the moment but it’s limited to backing up the items on my vita and restoring from previous backups.

CES 2012: Smartphones round-up

   The Superbowl of smartphones? Why, that would be Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. But that didn't stop the mobile industry's heavy hitters from giving us a taste of the year in wireless to come at CES. With Windows Phones finally getting LTE, Intel's Medfield CPU making its handset debut, Sony synergizing under its mega brand umbrella and fringe manufacturers wowing attendees with stock Ice Cream Sandwich and super-thin profiles, it appears phone aficionados have plenty to anticipate. So, while you sit slack-jawed in front of that computer screen, let's revisit some of the highlights of this past week.

HTC Titan II

   AT&T threw a curve ball at its keynote when it announced this Titan refresh would be hitting the states with support for 4G LTE -- a much welcomed first for devices running Microsoft's Mango OS. And as if access to those sweet wireless speeds wasn't enough, HTC's leapfrogged its US competition by beefing up the camera module on this 4.7-incher, bumping it to 16 megapixels with an f/2.6 lens and setting a new standard for imaging on stateside handsets. Unfortunately, that signature, elegant build has gone by the wayside, replaced here by a more traditional encasing.

Nokia Lumia 900

   Its LTE-packing thunder may have been stolen by AT&T's Titan II announcement, but Nokia's high-end Lumia still managed to hit a few high marks -- namely, for its 4.3-inch screen. The 900 is the first of Espoo's Mango pack to tread into large screen territory and it's headed for American mitts on AT&T sometime this spring (if the release rumors are indeed true). Inside, not much has changed, as we're still dealing with a single CPU. So, if you were holding out for a dual-core WP7.5 phone, you'llneed to sit tight just a little bit longer.

Huawei Ascend P1 S and P1

   Things are looking up for Huawei stateside. While brand recognition may still be somewhat low for the Chinese company, its fortunes could indeed about-face with the launch of its more premium Ascend line. The 4.3-inch P1 S and P1 are near identical twins, separated simply by thickness -- the former cuts a 6.68mm profile. And, perhaps heeding the call of Android fans everywhere, both phones are loaded up with stock Ice Cream Sandwich. If you like your devices unlocked and ultra-svelte, you might want to give these a go this April.

Lenovo K800

   Lenovo certainly took us by surprise when it snuck this gem onto the showroom floor. Heralding the smartphone debut of Intel's Medfield chip, the K800 is a heavily customized Android smartphone bearing 2011 specs, like a 4.5-inch 720p display, Gingerbread, 8 megapixel rear camera). In fact, users not well-versed in the finer aspects of CPUs, would be hard pressed to note the 1.6GHz revolution taking place under the hood. We've only just skimmed the surface of this Asia-only device, so stay tuned -- a US bow can't be far off.

ASUS Padfone

   It's phone. It's a tablet. It's a... Padfone? No shockers here. We've had fair warning ASUS' slatephone combo was headed to market, and have had plenty of time to warm to the idea. The concept? A 4.3-inch handset that neatly docks into a 10.1-inch tab, transitioning its display seamlessly to the larger screen and giving you more real estate for that ICS OS. It's an effective solution for users that don't want to port around two separate devices, and it also doesn't hurt that the dock packs an extended battery.

Sony Xperia Ion

   After swallowing Ericsson hole and dispensing with the brand, Sony's reorganized its mobile house. And with that new face comes a new era of premium handset design. The Ion is one of two smartphones issued by the Japanese giant that features solo Sony branding, a solid build (bye, bye creaky plastic) and some very respectable specs: 4.6-inch 720p HD Reality display, AT&T LTE and a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU.

Sony Xperia S

   Not to be outdone by the Ion, the Xperia S appears poised to truly wear Sony's new mobile crown. Featuring a transparent illuminating bar, which actually functions as the antenna, this dual-core handset is what we consider to be, bar none, the apogee of CES mobile phone reveals. The 4.3-incher's not carrier-locked (yet), so fanboys and girls hoping to add this sleek beauty to their arsenal can get those credit cards at the ready come this March.

    

 

Apple iPad 3 Review (Coming Soon) (based on assumtions )

   The Apple iPad 3 release date is just two months away or less and the new tablet will have a high-definition screen among other enhanced features, according to a new report.Rumors and speculation have been rampant in recent weeks about the highly-anticipated iPad 3 release date and features, with some coming from questionable sources and others from news organizations that stand by their sources. The latest report is from Bloomberg, which cited "three people familiar with the product," who said Apple's third-generation iPad will go on sale in March, have a high-definition screen and a faster processor, and be LTE compatible.

 Apple's iPad tablet, first launched in 2010 (the iPad 2 launched in 2011), is the world's bestselling tablet. The iPad has dominated the global tablet market the past two years, selling more than 40 million units, though Amazon's lower-priced Kindle Fire tablet has been a solid competitor, selling more than four million units since launch on Nov. 15. pple is also expected to cut pricing on its earlier iPad models, perhaps to as low as $299 or $399, to keep up with intensifying competition. Currently, iPad pricing starts at $499, while the Kindle Fire tablet starts at $199, though reviewers consistently label the iPad as a premium product.

 IPad 3 Features

A6 Processor

The current Apple iPad 2 has a 900MHz dual-core ARM Cortext-A9 processor, Apple A5 chipset and PowerVr SGX543MP2 GPU. This certainly made the Apple iPad 2 a powerful tablet and a main competitor in the world of tablets. Now Apple is aiming to make the competition tougher by sporting an A6 Quad-core Processor in the iPad 3. This would make the iPad 3 as powerful as any high-end desktop.

According to Linley Group senior analyst Kevin Krewell, “We expect the A6 will be a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 design, which would be competitive with next year’s best mobile processors. In 2012, Nvidia will offer a quad-core Cortex-A9 processor, and Qualcomm will have the aforementioned MSM8960, a dual-core A15-class processor operating at 1.7GHz. Fabricating Apple’s A6 in 28nm (instead of the 40nm process Nvidia is using for its quad-core part) will reduce both die cost and power, yielding a much better product.”

iOS 5

   The iPad 3 will come with the latest iOS 5, which will host the multi-touch gesture technology. However, analyst and tech enthusiasts predict that Apple would introduce OS X Lion for the tablet, since it will be powered by a quad-core processor.

    This will also include multitasking features, such as notifications, task-finishing, app-switching, location and background sound.

3D Feature and New Retina Display

   Apple enthusiast expected the Retina Display feature on Apple iPad 2; however, Apple has been working majorly for an improved version of it to include it in the iPad 3. The iPhone 4 currently supports the Retina Display with a screen resolution of 960 x 640. Apple explains Retina Display as: “Developing pixels a mere 78 micrometers wide, Apple engineers were able to pack four times the number of pixels into the same 3.5-inch (diagonal) screen found on earlier iPhone models. The resulting pixel density of iPhone 4 – 326 pixels per inch – makes text and graphics look smooth and continuous at any size.”

With the Retina Display feature, the screen resolution of the iPad3 will be 2048 x 1536 pixels. However, it is said that the third version of the tablet is delayed due to Retina Display issues, and Apple is expected to ship the tablet in early 2012.

There are speculations that the tablet will display the 3D view. Although it’s too early to expect features like 3D display, devices like the LG Optimus can record videos in 3D, and output the same through HDMI.

Cloud Computing

   Apple announced its Cloud services during the WWDC 2011, and will definitely include the iCloud technology both in the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. With iCloud users can store photos, apps, calendars and access songs on iTunes without having them to store in the phone’s memory.

     

                                

 

Camera

   The iPad 3 will come with an improved camera, since the previous version of the table didn’t seem impressive enough. Unlike the iPad 2, the new tablet will come with LED flash to support the camera. It is expected to have a 5MP camera with 1080p or 720p video recording quality of 60 frames per second. The technology made by OmniVision will help reduce the size of the table by 20 percent.

 

Fingerprint Proof

   Apple has already been granted patents on this technology, and is working real hard to make the iPad3 fingerprint proof. The touch screen will be coated with oleophobic materials, which will reduce the oil and fingerprints on the screen.

Google TV Review

    Google TV is a software platform aiming to bring together traditional TV and video content from the web. The internet is quickly becoming a major channel of multimedia content delivery however a large portion of content is still TV exclusive. The best of both worlds can be accessed with the help of GoogleTV. Google has created a video which gives a good quick introduction to its new TV platform

  The platform is not invasive to your current TV setup. It creates a completely new experience while preserving compatibility. A number of big name companies are planning to ship TVs with built in Google TV in the future. However, if you have current cable or satellite subscriptions that you are happy with, the search giant's platform can be experienced by setting up a Google TV powered box on top of your current hardware. At the moment a launch date is expected to be on September 29th, which will mark a release of Logitech Revue box. The expected price for this Google TV companion box unit is $299.

The platform works by combining channels from your existing cable ⁄ satellite providers with the valuable content on the web — including Hulu, Fox Networks, CBS, Youtube, etc.

Though many details are still unknown, Google TV hardware is controlled with a QWERTY keyboard enabled remote control.

   Once you launch the system, you will be greeted by Google TV's primary interface — a search box. Type in what you want to watch and the system will find it on air among the available channels and also among the large database of web content.

   Clicking through TV channels available via cable ⁄ satellite subscriptions is also possible just like before. The internet will be accessible the usual way we know on the PC. Google TV comes equipped with a flash-enabled browser which can be used to freely browse the internet. Whether you want to look up information about the current show on air or watch the latest YouTube videos, you can do so easy and in a slick manner with the video playing on screen.In addition, Google TV is compatible with DVR box units

   Naturally, Google TV has many powerful tricks up its sleeve. All the features will be made public and assessed once the product hits final release. For now, it is known that Google TV will be compatible with android devices, though the level of integration is unknown at the moment — the possibilities are astounding. Then comes a browser with complete Flash support. Bringing the variety of Flash video content from the popular TV networks on the network would be another invaluable feature. The most ambitious feature is real time translation of shows in foreign language to subtitles. Once again, this is a jaw dropping possibility that needs to be tested out in real world in order to evaluate how good it does its job. The Android App store is planned to support Google TV devices as well. Obviously, only a limited number of apps will be compatible, but the developers will be encouraged to optimize for the platform.

   For Google it's obviously a possibility to enter a new market — a market of TV, which according to them has a worldwide audience of 4 billion people daily. The prospects of a massive advertisement audience could lure Google into a great deal of dedication to the project.

    Hear this: The latest Google TV, referred to as Google TV 2.0 throughout the rest of this review, is a star performer. It runs like a champ and it’s clear that Google engineers paid close attention to criticism of version 1.0. Most of the functions and design elements previously missing are elegantly included. However, most of the downfalls of the older version had nothing to do with user interface. Content is king and Google TV sill doesn’t wear the crown.

  

    Even with the recent 3.1 update, . Google TV is still missing many key features to disrupt the television industry. It’s going to take more innovation, content deals, and devices to get the ball rolling.

    

   There are a lot of unknowns about Google TV that complicate these tests. Mobile Android is pretty lacking in video codec support, for example. That's forgivable on a smartphone, but a dealbreaker on a media center. If I can't stream my torrented TV episodes because Google TV doesn't support Xvid MKV, it's worthless to me. I wasn't able to get much of a look at Hulu or Netflix through Google TV--what's it like to browse through those sites? (And it sounds very likely that Hulu won't be available on the service after all, unless some deal is struck before launch.) Is it like Roku or Boxee, where you're limited to the movies that are already in your Instant Watch queue? Can you browse new releases, instead of having to search for them?

Samsung GALAXY Note Review

   IS it a phone, a tablet…or both? The Samsung Galaxy Note is sure to evoke some looks from passersby. With a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy Note is one of the largest smartphones available. Yet even with this enormous screen, Samsung has kept the design thin and stylish. Will the Samsung Galaxy Note be able to live up to its hype by providing consumers a hybrid all-in-one device between a smartphone and tablet? Read on to see how the Galaxy Note fares among the sea of Android devices.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note comes boxed in a simple white package with the highlights of the innovative technology inside. The first impression most will get after opening the box is what a large smartphone this is, by having the Galaxy Note’s box being as small as possible to contain the device. Included in the box are the essential items to get up and running such as a quick start guide with handy information about using the S Pen, a European wall charger with USB port, a microUSB charging/sync cable, and a white in-ear headset. There are also different size ear-buds for the headsets so you can choose the set that fits best. This particular Galaxy Note came with a flip case that helps to protect the screen, which snaps onto the back and replaces the battery cover. The cover may be a promotional item as it states on the back “Not For Sale” which suggests it is bundled with the Galaxy Note. The battery is a 2500mAh lithium-ion, which is nearly the same physical size of other Samsung batteries. One item that is not included is a microSD card.

    It also comes with a powerful 1.4 GHz processor and with this behind you; it makes the Samsung Galaxy Note ideal for gamers and those of us to like to watch good quality video. I have tested this feature a lot and it is fast and impressive for quality.

Belonging to the Android family, you do of course get access to the many Android applications that are available and grow by the day. That in itself makes the Samsung Galaxy Note worth a serious look, as you will see in this Samsung Galaxy Note review.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note is ideal for those who like to jot down notes when at a meeting or seminar and for me that is one of its main benefits. It’s quick, convenient and translates easily with the use of the stylus. What I love about the Samsung Galaxy Note is that it gives me the perfect capability of both business and personal use, meaning I can take it anywhere and use it for any purpose.

Recharge your Phone With a Spoon of Water

“PowerTrekk” a new recharge system developed by Signa Chemistry along with Stockholm's myFC produces electricity with a spoon of water which can be used to recharge your phone, GPS devices, iPod/mp3 or camera when you are far away from power outlets. This system doesn’t use sunlight; you just need a tablespoon of water to make it working. Unlike solar chargers PowerTrekk is light weight and generates power more quickly and reliably. More over it doesn’t need clear water, so you can use any type of water whether it is from a stream or a pool, hard water or soft water it really doesn’t matter.

PowerTrekk acts both as a portable battery pack and a fuel cell which makes it a 2-in-1 solution. This 2-in-1 portable charger is the first one to use Mobile-H₂ technology (Mobile-H₂ cartridge called a PowerPukk) in addition to a Li-ion battery pack. These PowerPukk fuel packs are offered in three forms; 5-pack Tube, 10-pack Tube and 24 ct Tray.

When the PowerPukk is placed inside the PowerTrekk and a tablespoon of water is added to the core part of PowerPukk, then the device’s Proton Exchange Membrane starts to convert the hydrogen into electricity. It can generate an output of 5V, 1000 mA and can store the power in its Li-ion battery if not used right away.

Björn Westerholm, CEO of myFC says “PowerTrekk is one renewable solution where millions of phone users lack easy access to a reliable supply of electricity for charging, especially outdoors and with the PowerTrekk if the internal battery/buffer is full it will charge more than 2 smartphones or 15 iPods.”

The company Signa has major plans based on this system and is determined to see this system working in electric bikes and cars. The company also sees an opportunity in rural parts of the world where there is lack of power supply now and this system can be used as an alternative source. Future of this system seems quite bright as the whole world is trying to find alternatives for power sources along with go green motto.

PowerTrekk comes in three colors;green, red and yellow and is expected to reach the stores by May having a price range of $200 to $250 and the replacement tins (PowerPukk) will cost $4. We expect to see PowerTrekk soon in Indian and hopefully at an affordable price as it will be a boon to Indian villages, but for now the there is no information about its availability or cost in Indian market.

T-Mobile G-Slate Review

   The T-Mobile G-Slate will bring 3D flavors to the Android tablet market The G-Slate has a Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, two 5-megapixel cameras with LED flash that can shoot 1080p HD and 3D videos. The display is 8.9-inch, there's a front-facing camera for video calls, 32GB of internal storage and a 4G radio chip for T-Mobile's network. The G-Slate will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

    The T-Mobile G-Slate arrives in an increasingly crowded iPad-clone market, where manufacturers are scrambling to come up with more attractive alternatives based on the Android OS. With one day to go until the G-Slate arrives, reviewers got their hands on the tablet to see whether it has any chance against the iPad.

    G-Slate in some ways to the Motorola Xoom because it has a better display and it weighs less (even though you get a smaller screen). To us, the 3D camcorder and glasses are just a bonus -- and not a very compelling one at that. The Xoom is better for those who want faster 4G speeds,

DISPLAY

 The display is a smallish 8.9 inches, but images, HD and SD video, photos and browsing the web look fantastic. When flipped on its side, horizontally, its width is fine (at 8.9 inches), but the height is shorter than similar tablets (at a little less than 6 inches), so movies appear smaller on this unit compared to bigger tablets

 EASE TO USE

    The T-Mobile G-Slate is easy to use, and Android 3.0 Honeycomb does a great job of integrating desktop features into what is essentially a mobile operating system. However, Android seems to work better on smaller mobile devices than on tablets, and it feels like Google is trying to throw as many features into the OS as possible, approaching overkill.

 SUMARRY  

   Overall, the T-Mobile G-Slate is a nice tablet, if a little bit on the small side. The 3D video shooting feature helps it stand out from similar units, but the 3D video quality is weak and gimmicky. Whether you buy it with a 4G contract or not, it's an expensive tablet.

Motorola Xoom Review

    As we put rubber to road on our motorola xoom review, it's important to note that it was only a matter of time before the Android army delivered a proper iPad competitor. Moto's partnership with Google (and use of the 3.0 version of its mobile operating system, Honecomb, has made that assumed inevitability a very serious reality. There can be little question that the Xoom is certainly a contender for the hearts and minds of potential tablet buyers in the market. Besides boasting that fancy new software (a completely redesigned experience masterminded by the man behind webOS, matia duarte, the Xoom is equipped with formidable hardware.

    

   The 1GHz, NVIDIA Tegra 2-based slate boasts a sizable 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 capacitive display, 3G connectivity (Verizon on our review unit), along with front and rear facing cameras, HD video capability, and loads of wireless options. Not only is the Xoom clearly competitive (and frankly, more stacked) than most of its competition, Motorola has attempted to futureproof the device by offering a free hardware upgrade down the road which will give the tablet access to Big Red's 4G LTE network. Of course, all this power comes with a cost... literally.The Xoom is quite a pricey piece of technology to own. Still, with all that's packed inside -- and more importantly with what Google has done on the software side -- the

 Xoom could represent the next stage of tablet evolution. 

    The Xoom is a handsomely built tablet, though at a glance, you'll think you've seen this before. Maybe it's that little can be done within the constraints of the tablet form factor (or Motorola isn't really trying), but the general shape and build of the Xoom comes off looking just a teensy bit like the iPad's longer, more dangerous cousin. The back and sides of the device are a similar, machined metal (though Verizon's version is painted a matte black, which is a real fingerprint magnet), the corners are similarly curved, and the front is, of course, all screen. That's not to say the Xoom isn't good looking -- it is -- but there isn't much original going on with the general industrial design that's at play here.

 

    The front-facing camera goes, you should expect pretty standard stuff. We doubt you'll be using this for fashion shoots, but for hairstyling and video chats, it does the trick. Just the fact that it's there is pretty cool, really.

   With the wonderful display, excellent battery and fast processor, the Motorola Xoom offers the closest technology to beating the Apple iPad. There are a few improvements that could be made including the option to expand memory, lighter design or even a built-in stand to make this device even more multimedia-friendly. But the 2MP and 5MP cameras, responsive and large touchscreen and even the Honeycomb operating system make this tablet the perfect device, especially for those who prefer the Android operating system and user interface.

QNX finds a home inside a Porsche 911 (video)

Blackberry's QNX division wants to expand its footprint and the next major push is inside your car. To that end, a handful of QNX engineers ripped out the stock (and pretty damned good) Porsche head unit on a 911 convertible and stuffed it with a new capacitive screen running the latest build of the OS. As you can see in the video after the jump, it's an attractive and quick setup, that does everything from VOIP calls to navigation, and since it's running the same software as the Playbook, it can theoretically run Android apps to boot – even if the reps on hand wouldn't admit it.
