The Photon 4G wasn’t the only new smartphone Motorola announced for Sprint today. Motorola also had a phone lined up for Sprint’s contract-free Virgin Mobile. That phone is the Motorola Triumph, a new device with last year’s specs. The Triumph looks like just a black slab with a 4.1-inch screen. It actually seems to take a few hints from the Motorola Droid X at first glance. The screen has a resolution of 480x800, powered by a 1GHz CPU. Unlike the Droid X, there’s two cameras on the Triumph, a 5MP rear-facing camera capable of 720p, and a front-facing VGA camera.… Full Story » | Written by Shawn Ingram for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
In order to sweeten the deal of purchasing a Xoom tablet, Motorola is tossing in a free wireless keyboard valued at $69.99 with every purchase between June 7 and June 14. Whether you opt in purchasing the WiFi only Xoom, the WiFi + 3G Xoom with a Verizon Wireless contract, or the 3G model off contract, you will still be eligible for the wireless keyboard. With the many Android tablets currently available in the market, Motorola is hoping that the addition of a wireless keyboard, which would definitely add to your typing ability on the tablet, will help make your… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Over the past few months some of the more interesting phones on AT&T and Verizon have come from Motorola. Sprint was apparently tired of being left out, and now we have a new Motorola smartphone coming to the carrier sometime this summer. That smartphone is the Photon 4G, and it’s looking pretty great. The Photon 4G is the first phone on Sprint to sport a qHD display (960x540), with the display measuring 4.3 inches. The phone will also feature two cameras, a rear-facing 8MP camera capable of 720p video with dual-LED flash, and a front-facing VGA camera for video chat.… Full Story » | Written by Shawn Ingram for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
It looks like Mac users are in for a treat, specifically a Google Reader treat. That’s because one of the best third party Google Reader application for iOS has just made its appearance in the Mac App Store. I’m referring of course to Reeder which has been launched for Mac. For the unaware, Reeder is a simple and yet useful application that syncs with Google Reader allowing you to read your news feed subscriptions in a well organized display. Reeder also fully integrates with Readability.com and offers you full interface customization, full gesture-based interface control as well as customization of… Full Story » | Written by Arnold Zafra for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Facebook started implementing a new tagging feature last year that automatically scans photographs while suggesting the names of people who may be in the picture. Over the next few weeks, Facebook will enable this feature to all of its U.S. users. Facebook will continue rolling out this feature until it has reached users all over the world. This new photo tagging method has left some people feeling uneasy. The fact that Facebook didn’t properly notify its users of this upcoming change more efficiently has led many to believe Facebook is once again pushing the boundaries of online privacy. Anyone can… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
When you stroll over to the Netflix website, you’ll notice that it has undergone a bit of a change. The new Netflix interface was designed to put more attention on Netflix’s Watch Instantly options for movies and television shows. If you want to see the old Netflix interface, you can only see it in the “Browse DVDs” portion of the site. Netflix is focusing more on its streaming business than its DVD business. This is for good reason because Netflix streaming accounts for nearly 30 percent of downstream internet traffic in the United States during peak hours. Sony Computer Entertainment… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Applications that provide users with details about upcoming DUI checkpoints are no longer welcome in the Apple App Store. A revision to the App Store’s Review Guidelines says “Apps which contain DUI checkpoints that are not published by law enforcement agencies, or encourage and enable drunk driving, will be rejected.” In March, a letter signed by Senator Harry Reid, Sen. Charles E. Schumer, Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg and Sen. Tom Udall was sent to Apple’s senior vice president of iPhone software urging the company to remove all DUI checkpoint apps. RIM also previously agreed to remove DUI checkpoint apps from… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Three years after it was launched into open beta, top productivity app, Evernote has just gained 10 million users. Yes folks, that’s a big number for such a service to gain in three years. It’s a good thing that Evernote is available in various platforms as that gives the application more exposure. What’s interesting here is the fact that majority of Evernote users are using the app not just on one platform but on multiple platforms for smartphones and desktops. Evernote is available for various smartphone platforms as well as Mac, Windows and even on the web. And since registered… Full Story » | Written by Arnold Zafra for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Following up on Sony Ericsson’s Facebook announcement, we bring the txt pro. Designed, as you might gleem from the name, as a social tool to communicate with your pals. This phone’s standout feature is the ability to keep track of your top five friends most recent updates. Full slide out qwerty keyboard, 3.2” camera and 3” touchscreen are the specs you get for this quick messaging device. Coming in black, white or pink, the txt pro doesn’t get the same high-fashion treatment as the other announced phone, the Mix Walkman. Facebook, Twitter and even Google Talk apps are all installed… Full Story » | Written by JG Mason for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Sony Ericsson launched two new phones via Facebook today demonstrating they don’t need a giant convention center filled with rabid fans to get the word out. Instead, the company decided to go social and get the word to their friends first. First on the scene is the Mix Walkman. The name gives away it all: this is a music first phone. The stand out feature is a Zappin key that is designed to enhance your music experience. Pressing the Zappin key provides the chorus of the next track so you can decide if you wish to listen to it. No,… Full Story » | Written by JG Mason for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Apple just announced iCloud this week, Amazon’s got a cloud for your music, Microsoft has embraced cloud computing. The rush to the cloud has not fazed our friends at Samsung, who today unveil the Spinpoint M8, a 1TB drive for mobile computers. The drive is in mass production now and available worldwide for $129. Samsung’s C.H. Lee, vice president of storage strategic marketing said, “The new Spinpoint M8 line-up supports the ongoing growth curve for high density data storage densities, especially as it raises the bar to exceed terabyte density levels in the mobile computing space." The Samsung Spinpoint M8… Full Story » | Written by JG Mason for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »

Coming as a nice follow up to the reports of an iPhone 4S (with support for the Sprint network) we are now seeing some chatter in regards to how the handset has reportedly gone into an “advanced testing” phase. And taking that a step further, this also lines up nicely with some other reports that mentioned Apple was going to be installing Sprint cell towers on their campus. Bottom line, while this all seems far from official at this point, things do appear to be shaping up nicely for a Sprint compatible iPhone. That said, the cell towers are reportedly… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »

Putting an end to any of the rumors and speculation, Dell has taken to their official Direct2Dell blog and confirmed the existence of the Streak 10 Pro tablet. And in addition, they also confirmed where it was coming available and a rough timeframe for release. Though, most reading this post will not be all that happy with the where. According to Dell, they “will launch the Streak 10 Pro in China later this summer.” As to other markets, no promises however Dell has plans to “evaluate other regions and segments in the second half of 2011.” With that, if anyone… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Citibank confirmed on Wednesday that it had become the victim of a hacker attack that resulted in the theft of customer data. Account numbers, contact information and customer names for 1% of Citi’s 21.2 million North American customers were stolen. The attack was discovered in early May during routine maintenance, but Citi did not confess to it until it was put through the wringer by the Financial Times. Not all information was stolen. Citi says social security numbers, credit card security codes and customer birth dates are still secure. In response to the hack, Citi told Forbes that it has… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Just yesterday we saw word that Verizon had apparently confirmed that the Galaxy S II smartphone was going to be released next month. And while we had seen some previous rumors regarding Verizon and the Galaxy S II in the past, that seemed logical enough to believe. That being said, it looks like there is an update to that story. Basically—the Galaxy S II is not coming to Verizon next month. Instead, those looking for something new in terms of Android and Verizon will need to be looking for the 4G LTE capable Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. In short, it… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
There has been leak after leak suggesting the official release date for the HP TouchPad. We now have a solid date straight from HP itself. Expect the Wi-Fi TouchPad to be available on July 1, 2011. It will be $499.99 for the 16GB version or $599.99 for the 32GB version. Those prices put the TouchPad on the same playing field as other tablets such as the iPad, HTC Flyer and the Motorola Xoom. The TouchPad will first reach the United States before making its way to Ireland, the UK, France and Germany. Canada will have to wait until the middle… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
So the HP TouchPad is going to be available with Amazon beginning on July 17th, unless its not. Coming shortly after the discovery of the potential TouchPad release date with Amazon is word that it could arrive as soon as June 22nd. This latest release date is coming by way of an enterprise vendor called Synnex. Bottom line, they seem to think the webOS tablet is coming later this month. What we say, all these dates sound good, but what we really want (and need) is something official from HP because until we see that—this is all rumor and speculation.… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
These types of early reveals coming from Walmart typically show accurate information, which would lead us to believe that the Sensation 4G is going to be priced at $148.88 when it comes available. Then again, this time the price reveal has come along with a typo—the display size is listed as 4.5 inches when we already know that it is 4.3 inches. In other words, while the $148.88 price point seems to be right, given they had another typo we have to be a bit skeptical. Nonetheless, the Sensation 4G is coming to T-Mobile on June 15th so we are… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
In the past we saw the HP TouchPad get a product listing page with Amazon and now it looks like they have given us a release date.

Android fans in Europe are in for a treat this month as a new Android smartphone is heading the European market. Said handset known as the T-Mobile Move features Android 2.2 Froyo, a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, HSDPA (7.2 Mbps), GPS, 2MP camera, microSD card support and 700MHz processor. In case the handset looks familiar to you, you might have been reading about it during the Mobile World Congress 2011 which happened sometime in February and the T-Mobile Move was first introduced during the said event. Given the not-so impressive specs of this phone, it is most likely to be… Full Story » | Written by Arnold Zafra for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Google has just updated its Maps for mobile and desktop apps, adding a simple and yet quite useful feature especially for those who commute daily. Beginning today, both Google Maps apps will now have live transit updates that will tell you the exact arrival of the ride that you are waiting for. Since this is a live update, the new feature covers late arrivals of incoming buses or other public mode of transits. Live transit updates were made possible by Google in partnership with transit agencies operating in the four U.S. cities - Boston, Portland, Ore., San Diego and San… Full Story » | Written by Arnold Zafra for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Google has rolled out the latest feature for Google Voice—the ability to change your current number and keep your old number. Of course, the part about being able to change (and also port) your number has been around for a little while now, however the difference here is that your old number only stayed around for 90 days in the past. Moving forward you will now be able to keep that number on a permanent basis which means anyone calling and/or texting that number will still be able to get through. The catch, you will not be able to make… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
