HTC One X Review

, Apr 2nd 2012 Discuss [0]

HTC needed to hit reset on its smartphone strategy. Lulled, perhaps, by several years of leading the Android device market, 2011 brought an incredibly strong push by Samsung and a growing mismatch between the agile software users desired and the bloated, over-stylized interface of HTC Sense. The HTC One X – and the One Series it leads – is the first of the company’s attempt to reclaim its former position, a Tegra 3 toting powerhouse with a big screen, boastful camera and slick design. Still with the specter of the Samsung Galaxy S III on the near horizon, not to mention Apple’s iPhone 5, the One X needs to do more than storm the spec sheet if it’s to make the impact HTC requires. Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Sony’s Four-Screen Strategy Needs Vita OS

, Feb 18th 2012 Discuss [0]

Changes are afoot at Sony: new CEO, new PS Vita on the market, and a new opportunity to demonstrate the company can deliver on its “four-screen” strategy of convergence. Until now, that strategy has been a vague ambition to sell users a Sony TV, phone, tablet and PC. Now, though, with the PS Vita finally reaching US buyers, part of Sony’s overall gameplan is starting to become clear. Vita OS is the “thin edge of the wedge” on gaming hardware, Yoshio Matsumoto, director of business at SCE, confirmed last week. Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson is no more, and Sony has sole control of the rudder: the company promised nothing but smartphones for 2012, but that doesn’t mean Sony won’t sacrifice Android in favor of a platform – and an ecosystem – that it alone controls.

HTC: Quietly Blundering

, Nov 27th 2011 Discuss [103]

To say HTC is having a bad month is an understatement: share price ditching, outlook slashed and reeling from an embarrassing and unexpected defeat by Apple in the patent courts. The company that once led the smartphone segment has found its “Quietly Brilliant” message struggling to be heard above the crowd. The potential collapse of the S3 Graphics deal is just the latest stage of the company’s ebbing momentum, though it can’t blame the USITC entirely for investors’ loss of faith. HTC lost its common Sense some time ago.

HTC Sensation XL Review

, Nov 15th 2011 Discuss [6]

Seldom has the name of a phone been so obviously related to its proposition as with the HTC Sensation XL. Bearing a supersized 4.7-inch touchscreen along with Beats Audio, this “extra large” Android smartphone should arguably be the pinnacle of HTC’s multimedia range. However, cost-cutting and some frustrating design decisions could undermine all that. Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Samsung Galaxy Note Review

, Nov 4th 2011 Discuss [174]

Big phone, small tablet, or unnecessary hybrid? Questions bubble up uncontrollably around the Samsung Galaxy Note; strangers can’t help but ask questions. No, we don’t have tiny hands; no, we didn’t put our iPad through a hot wash; no, just because it has a stylus, doesn’t mean it’s running Windows Mobile. Is 5.3-inches of Android more than any man, woman or child should be expected to stomach, or has Samsung’s scattershot approach to mobile device sizing struck gold this time around? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

HTC Wildfire S for T-Mobile Review

, Aug 5th 2011 Discuss [3]

Say Hello to the smallest offering I’ve seen in a while from HTC, this little device is small enough that anyone can carry it no matter how small the hands are. It would feel comfortable for your 10 year old, and would make a great starter phone too. The Wildfire S comes in a few different colors, its an amazingly great device for a mid-range offering and it’s only like $79 or so over on T-Mobile — interested yet?

July 1 2011 marks the one-year anniversary of HP buying Palm, and it’s celebrating with the launch of webOS 3.0. Making its debut on the HP TouchPad, the company’s big push for the consumer tablet market, but then headed to HP smartphones too, webOS 3.0 promises to take the simplicity, elegance and flexibility we’ve been praising in previous iterations of the platform, and bring it bang up to speed when compared to Android Honeycomb and the imminent iOS 5.

HP TouchPad Review

, Jun 29th 2011 Discuss [28]

We’ve been demanding a tablet running webOS for years now, and it’s taken HP’s new stewardship of the software to guide just that onto store shelves. Palm’s mobile platform always seemed to good to be left solely to smartphones, and the HP TouchPad is the inevitable result. Problem is, the iPad has already made its presence well and truly known, dominating the consumer tablet market, and Android’s Honeycomb drive gains OEM support by the week. Can the multitasking charms of webOS 3.0 promise the TouchPad a bright future, or is it simply a case of too late to the party? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Google+ Mobile App Review and Hands-On [BETA]

, Jun 29th 2011 Discuss [13]

We’ve been given the opportunity to take a look at the newest and greatest effort by Google to access the social landscape. Not that they weren’t there before, but now we’re fully dunked, if you know what I mean, in the ability to share directly with friends our photos, thoughts, and eventually our video and literally our faces talking back and forth. For now, though, we’ve got Google+ the mobile app and the app version of Huddle, a project that’s also set inside the Google+ app if you prefer. What the following consists of is the mobile embodiment of Google+, the web-based application of the project we’ll be talking about next. For now though, mobile!

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo Review

, Jun 27th 2011 Discuss [6]

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo arrives with something of a personality problem. Where the XPERIA Play was resolute in its gaming ambitions, and the XPERIA Arc promised to put Sony’s living room prowess into a pocket-friendly package, the Neo takes on the competitive mid-tier mainstream segment, Android for the every-man. With luminaries like HTC’s Desire S keeping the masses connected, can the Neo carve its own niche? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
