Today at Verizon’s CES conference, JK Shin, the president of Samsung, whipped a 4G equipped Galaxy Tab out of his coat pocket.

Aside from this, it’s the same device as the original Galaxy Tab. I’m interested to know […]

The Samsung s5pc110 has the Power VR 540 graphics core in it too so the graphics performance is very smooth indeed. Viliv are going through the process of Google Android authorisation and are working on an Android 2.3 upgrade. As for Honeycomb, it’s not certain yet if […]

Following the theme of ‘guess the unique selling point for the tablet’ it’s worth pointing out here that the Dell Streak might be running 2.2 in this demo but not only is 2.3 possible but Honeycomb too. I expect this one to be the ‘long-shelf-life’ 7 incher of 2011! Here’s a video. More images in the gallery.

Motorola is stepping up it’s game with a powerful new Droid phone, the Droid Bionic. This is Motorola’s first 4G phone that will take advantage of Verizon’s LTE 4G service. This powerful new Droid sports a dual-core 1GHz CPU and Motorola claims that it’ll be able to record and edit 720p HD video directly on the phone. Looks like Motorola is also going to be providing some sort of integrated videoconferencing functionality to take advantage of the phone’s front and rear cameras, though there isn’t a lot of detail about […]

My first hands on with the Dell Duo deserves a little post. Yes it’s a little heavy as a tablet and has battery life that doesnt compete with netbooks but its a slick device. With the Samsung Gloria/PC7 on Oaktrail already, it could have some tough competition.
