3G on my Ereader, not my Tablet

, May 27th 2011 Discuss [3]

Amazon and B&N are taking pot-shots at each other this week, each competing on whose ereader lasts longest. As ereaders gain in popularity and become more mainstream, too, I’m increasingly asked which model I’d go for and, more often, whether I’d pay extra for those with integrated 3G or save my money and opt for WiFi-only instead. Funnily enough, my stance on 3G ereaders is the complete opposite of my thoughts on 3G tablets.

Kindle 3G with Special Offers slices off $25 in return for ads

, May 25th 2011 Discuss [0]

With Amazon's Kindle with Special Offers already being the best-selling model in the company's ereader range - despite having only hit virtual shelves in late April - it's little surprise that the retailer has rolled out a second version. After the WiFi-only original (with its $114 price tag) there's now a Kindle 3G with Special Offers, undercutting the regular 3G model by $25 at $164. Read The Full Story

Tablet 3G: The Connectivity Headache

, May 18th 2011 Discuss [21]

“3G or not 3G; that is the question.” The pun may be appalling, but the decision itself is more than enough to drive new tablet buyers to Hamlet-style distraction. Do they opt for cheaper, WiFi-only slates and potentially spend half their tableteering time chasing hotspots, or does a 3G-enabled model make more sense, albeit at greater expense and/or with a minimum data agreement?

Incredible 2 unboxing and hands-on

, Apr 26th 2011 Discuss [4]

There’s something mighty familiar about Verizon’s DROID Incredible 2 by HTC. True, it’s the follow-up to the original Incredible, but it also bears more than a passing resemblance to the European HTC Incredible S we reviewed last month. Back then we praised the smartphone’s distinctive industrial design, decent sized 4-inch Super-LCD WVGA display and all-day battery life, though weren’t too keen on the Android 2.2 OS. Question is, will Verizon’s CDMA version suffer the same fate?

BGR's sources sent them the shots, which show the white handset marked "confidential and proprietary" (just in case it's found in a bar) and with 3G support for T-Mobile's network.
