Over at the quietly brilliant manufacturer HTC's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich list expansions are happening everywhere with new phones added to the list and phones already on the list getting updated schedules. This list is what HTC considers its nearly-definitive list of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates and can therefor be trusted about as far as you can trust any list on earth. Notably absent from the list are all of the HTC tablets released to date - you'll have to go rogue if you want that kind of hardcore underground tasty treat action. Read The Full Story

The next generation in one of HTC's best-selling lines of devices has appeared in several photos today complete with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC's own Sense 4.0 inside. This device is set to replace the HTC Incredible 2 which we've reviewed and adore so well and will have not only a dual-core processor and Verizon's 4G LTE connectivity, it'll have many of the same perks the HTC One series has as revealed earlier this month in our HTC One S and One X reviews. This device will likely be running the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor and comes with red Beats logos and flares like you've come to expect from HTC devices. Read The Full Story

HTC Beats headphones won’t be pack-in item anymore

Mark Raby, Apr 6th 2012 Discuss [0]

Despite the strong branding power of HTC and Beats Audio, HTC does not have any plans to continue backing in Beats headphones with future smartphone handsets. The idea was incorporated with the recent Rezound phone, but apparently HTC realized that hardly swayed anyone to buy the phone.

It’s a “Beats” World, We Just Listen To It

Avi Greengart, Apr 1st 2012 Discuss [0]

Did you see this product announced, back on March 5? I didn’t think so, but if you’ve been watching American Idol, you should have seen ads for Beat’s audio “Beatbox portable,” which is, “an AT&T exclusive.” I have been trying to wrap my head around the idea that a wireless carrier would want to procure exclusive distribution for a portable speaker, and then spend millions of dollars advertising it (a 30 second spot on American Idol costs approximately $500,000). Oh, and the price of the speaker itself? $399.

Android 4.0 ICS updates detailed for Verizon

Chris Burns, Mar 6th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nearly the entire line of Android devices have been listed in one massive post made by Verizon this week detailing which of them will and which of them will not get an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. For those of you wondering why it's Verizon, the carrier, and not the manufacturers of the devices themselves that are announcing this, it's simply because it's Verizon who has to work with the manufacturer to get the update pushed to the devices because each of these devices has a special Verizon-branded build inside them - that meaning apps for the most part - and no manufacturer is free from such a bond. Have a peek if your Verizon-branded device is amongst the lucky to be getting an Ice Cream Sandwich update soon. Read The Full Story

Chris Burns, Feb 14th 2012 Discuss [0]

If you head to a Verizon Wireless store today looking to purchase an Android smartphone, you’re very likely going to be inundated by offers to purchase Verizon’s own unique DROID line. I’m here to tell you that the current top choices for these Motorola-made smartphones aren’t necessarily your best choice for Android or 4G-laden devices – in fact they’re not even really your best choice for Motorola-made devices on Verizon. Instead, have a quick glance at some comparisons to some lesser-advertised devices sitting right next to these hero phones to gain a better understanding of what Verizon really has to offer.
