Infinitec Pocket TV Android dongle gets pre-release bump

, Jun 18th 2012 Discuss [0]

Inside the Infinitec Pocket TV HDMI device is Android 4.0 and the ability to rock and roll on your HDTV - what you'll find in addition to that now that it's had a pre-release update is a massive 1GB of RAM. This device has also settled on a final design as it heads to the actual web-based market after its humble beginnings on Kickstarter. You'll find a mini USB port on the side of the device and it has a promise to be able to handle "the next versions of Android" including what we assume will be an upgrade by the end of the year - supposing Google I/O brings on another boost.

Galaxy S III MHL-HDMI adapter headache gets cheaper workaround

, Jun 15th 2012 Discuss [0]

Confirmation last week that Samsung's Galaxy S III demands a new MHL-HDMI adapter cast a shadow over the flagship smartphone, but now a more affordable solution has been spotted. While the Galaxy S III uses a newer pin layout than existing MHL adapters - meaning old dongles won't work with the new phone - MobileFun has discovered a converter adapter-tip that fixes it for a third of the price.

Samsung Galaxy S III demands special MHL-HDMI adapter

, Jun 8th 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung has apparently changed the MHL-HDMI connectivity on the Galaxy S III so that existing adapters for the video-output will not work. The issue, first spotted by retailer Clove, means those new Galaxy S III owners who already have an MHL adapter - such as for use with the last-gen Galaxy S II, or the Galaxy Nexus - will seemingly need to buy a new dongle if they want to continue seeing their phone's display on the big screen.

Samsung outs MHL capable 23/27″ LED monitors

, May 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

MHL has been creeping into more and more devices over the past year or so, first making waves with Samsung’s Galaxy S II. MHL allows an HDMI signal to be sent out over microUSB, assuming you have a powered adapter. Now Samsung is integrating the tech into two new monitors, which will let you plug the phone straight in and display a signal without the need for a separate power source. Read The Full Story

Xtex $150 Android is no tab killer

, Apr 19th 2012 Discuss [5]

There’s a lot to be said about Android tablets popping up around the world for prices so low you’d be crazy to not consider them when looking for a tablet. The Xtex My Tablet 7 revealed this week is $150 and appears to be a winner with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the ability to output video at 1080p via mini HDMI, but here’s the killer: single specs do not a great tablet make. As a person who’s had his hands on more than a normal citizen’s fair share of tablets in the past couple of years, I can tell you this: it will be a miracle if the Xtex doesn’t pop up in the news in a couple of weeks with a myriad of complains on how it doesn’t perform nearly as well as its new owners much smaller and much better made smartphones.

Android 5.0 Jelly Bean gains Motorola desktop mode

, Feb 20th 2012 Discuss [21]

If you’ve used a Motorola Android device over the past year or so, you’ve very likely experienced Motorola’s own “webtop” mode, this allowing your smartphone a desktop-like interface when plugged into an HDMI-capable display. The tip comes from Staska of Unwired View who notes that information he’s gathered leads to the idea that Android 5.0 will have a desktop mode which activates whenever the device is plugged into a larger display. Could this have anything to do with Google’s recent near-complete deal in which they’re acquiring Motorola Mobility? It certainly would allow them to avoid patent suits should they actually make a desktop mode!

The palm-sized box really is as straightforward as Philips promised, predominantly because you don’t have much in the way of choice: there are just three connections, for power, HDMI and an optional USB drive. More first impressions after the cut.
