Review: Lenovo Entwines Two Product Lines With ThinkPad Yoga

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:43:22 +0000

Lenovo has traditionally had two laptop lines: the business-targeted ThinkPad line and the consumer-friendly IdeaPad line. Last year, Lenovo added the Yoga line. Coming in hybrid tablet and regular tablet flavors, the Yoga is a bit more of a consumer device and popular enough to inspire copycats. The suit and tie set need not feel […]

If you were paying any attention last week, you may have heard the tale of one Sarah Slocum. It’s a story that has landed on Gawker, the UK’s Daily Mail, Mashable, SF Chronicle, The Examiner, LA Times, CBS, CNBC, and SFist.

I just completed several days of testing the Lightercase, a gadget billed as the “World’s First Ever” protective smartphone case with a built-in no flame/fuel cigarette lighter and LED flashlight. The product only exists in a prototype stage, with an IndieGoGo campaign aiming at receiving enough funding to start production in time for the holidays. […]

Review: Samsung Galaxy S4 Refines A Winning Formula

There’s really no denying that Samsung is the biggest name in Android phones. The Korean giant’s most recent flagship, the Galaxy S4, sold 10 million units in the first month. Considering that the S III (the difference in use of Arabic and Roman numbers between phone versions is on Samsung’s part) took almost two months […]

The non-contract smartphone industry keeps growing, and we can’t help but wonder if some of the more established players in that market are going to react. Virgin Mobile, for example, gives you $100 credit when you switch to the Sprint-owned contractless service. Virgin also offers yet another low-end Android phone from Kyocera, kings of the […]

Review: Samsung ATIV Odyssey Redefines Budget Phones

Samsung’s ATIV S device has yet to grace the shores of the U.S. For those who had their hearts set on the first Windows Phone 8 device to be announced, hope exists in the form of the ATIV Odyssey. A Verizon phone, the Odyssey is up against heavy competition from Nokia and HTC. Is there a reason […]

Review: LG’s Mach Gives Sprint 4G QWERTY Choice

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:30:06 +0000

I was recently impressed by LG’s Optimus G handset and was equally looking forward to the LG Mach. Currently one of the only two 4G phones on Sprint with a keyboard, the Mach has the potential to make a real dent in the physical input-only market. But do expectations match up with reality? First Impressions The LG Mach […]

February 22, 2013 UPDATE: Oceana has published a report about national seafood fraud. Two years of DNA testing found that a full third of seafood was mislabeled; snapper and tuna had the highest rates of fraud. Oceana has even created a handy map for a depressing look at your odds of purchasing mislabeled fish. You heard it […]

Review: Samsung ATIV S, A Galaxy III With A Twist

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:30:07 +0000

The Samsung ATIV S was technically the first Windows Phone 8 device to be announced, surprising those of us keeping all of our attention on Nokia and HTC. In the months since the announcement, we’ve found ourselves left waiting for the ATIV. While other Windows Phone 8 handsets are making waves, there’s nary a ripple from […]

Review: Virgin Mobile’s HTC One V Counts In My Book

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:00:39 +0000

Virgin Mobile has been upping the ante a bit on hardware lately. We’ve already checked out the Galaxy S II, and now I want to take a look at another high-end handset, the HTC One V. The One line is HTC’s flagship brand, much as the Galaxy is on Samsung. However, unlike the S II, […]
