Verizon Samsung ATIV Odyssey shipping tipped: January 24th
This afternoon it's been tipped that the 24th of January will be home to the official release of the Samsung ATIV Odyssey, complete with Verizon 4G LTE and Windows Phone 8. This machine will be working with a setup that appears extremely similar to the Samsung Focus 2, an AT&T device working with Windows Phone 7 as released back in May of 2012, but as we well know from our own hands-on with this device from CES 2013, this machine is up to speed with some mid-to-high-end specifications (for a Windows Phone 8 smartphone, that is.)

Samsung’s Galaxy Camera: Our Secret Star of CES
CES isn’t short of product launches, and if you want to keep up you need the right tools. For 2013, the SlashGear team tried out a new workflow: carrying Samsung’s Galaxy Camera and doing as much of our uploading of photos and video wirelessly. We’d already been impressed by the Galaxy Camera in our review, but taking the Android-powered point-and-shoot out into the field for what’s arguably the toughest assignment on a tech-head’s calendar really put it through its paces. Read on for our full report.

Verizon’s Samsung ATIV Odyssey hands-on
Verizon's footprint in Windows Phone devices is still relatively light, and so the Samsung ATIV Odyssey is a welcome addition to the carrier's CDMA network, despite the somewhat humble specifications. Going head-to-head with cheaper Nokia phones, the ATIV Odyssey packs a 1.5GHz dualcore Snapdragon S4 processor and a 5-megapixel camera, but in the hand its biggest distinguishing feature is the relatively compact size. In a world of 5-inchers, the ATIV Odyssey's 4-inch display is a welcome change.

Motorola DROID RAZR M HD leaked with details
A few details have been leaked by an anonymous tipster as to what the next-generation DROID RAZR M will be, building on the greatness of the already fabulous palm-sized beast. We had our first look at the original DROID RAZR M earlier this year in NYC, the reveal event also playing host to one of the first public showings of a newly minted Google-owned Motorola, complete with Google-minded software choices for Android - like on-screen buttons, for example.
