We’ve reviewed our fair share of Lenovo tablets and are presently testing two more of them. One opinion common to all the models is that they lack something physically outstanding. They are, by and large, Android slates with a Lenovo skin. In a field full of Android slates, manufacturers need to do something to stand […]
Today’s keynote address at the first day of Google I/O 2013 may lack a few surprises considering the amount of news leaking out early. One such example is the release of Android 4.3, which The Verge found by digging through the search listings on Google’s developer website. Not much is known about Android 4.3 (Jelly […]
Were you impressed by yesterday’s Optimus G review, but don’t feel like going on Sprint? Good news. For for a mere $50 (after MIR), you can find yourself with a brand new Nexus 4. That’s a great deal on what is arguably the best phone on T-Mobile’s network. In fact, even at $100 before the rebate, you’re getting a good […]
When the topic of smartphones comes up, LG’s name is hardly the first on anyone’s lips. Despite having launched the popular Optimus a few years back (arguably the first smartphone to be the same on all networks), LG has been without a major hit. Recent phones, such as the LG Viper, have failed to catch the […]
When Samsung announced the first Galaxy Note in 2011, it was met with confusion, disbelief, and some snickers. The idea of a phone with 5.3 inch screen seemed absurd. We were just getting used to the idea of 4” 4.3” 4.5” 4.65” phones, and here was a phone that seemed to be questioning whether it […]
In the past five months, my Nexus 7 has become a vital part of my daily routine. Compact, lightweight, and feature-rich, it’s everything I want in a tablet. Or at least, it was when it came out. Let’s be honest, I can never be quite satisfied with my gadgets, and the moment I get one […]
Motorola has long been one of the strongest Android phone makers. While Samsung may get higher numbers and HTC a bit more of the mind share, Motorola’s original Droid for Verizon is arguably the phone that made Android take off as more than just “not iPhone.” The line is so successful that many users dub […]
The event may have been cancelled, but not even Hurricane Sandy can stop Google’s announcement today, no matter how hard Microsoft wishes. In a flurry of press releases, Google has announced a pair of new Nexus devices, a new version of Android, and new versions of the Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 got a small price […]
Today is going to be a big day for Apple. Every time the computing giant has an announcement, a ton of pundit opinions emerge and interest rises from the non-tech press that few other tech announcements get. You even see it in the weeks beforehand, as outlets everywhere discuss laundry lists of rumors. Not wanting […]
The Lenovo IdeaTab S1209a is quite obviously Lenovo’s answer to Apple’s iPad. The IdeaTab has a 9.7 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768, identical to the original iPad and iPad 2. Lenovo’s tablet is sleek at a thin 0.35 inches and a light 1.3 pounds, lighter than Apple’s new iPad and on […]
