iOS Phone Sales Growing, Android Staying Stable

Tmobile-iPhone

Kantar Worldpanel just released their latest consumer survey on smartphone sales, and it shows Android holding steady while iOS grows 3.5%. All figures are comparisons to the same period last year, and they attributed most of the iOS growth to T-Mobile (finally) acquiring the iPhone. According to the report: iOS' strength on T-Mobile appears to more »

Staples Discounts Google Nexus 7, Is The Second-Gen Finally Coming?

And the second-gen Nexus 7 saga continues. The oft-rumored follow-up to last year's blockbusting Google tablet has shown up in every shape and form in the news lately, having its specs revealed by numerous sources, including an Asus employee.

Still, the N7-2 is not yet official. How long will Google and Asus keep playing this cat and mouse…

A 3D Printer Gives Birth to a SLR Film Camera

OpenReflex

Shooting with a film camera isn't necessarily in high demand these days, but there are plenty of people who swear by the dedication and aesthetics that can only come from film cameras. Buying an old manual SLR is a very inexpensive proposition these days since most companies no longer make them, but the 3D printing more »

Behold The World's First Tegra 4-Powered Smartphone: ZTE U988S

Avoided by many traditional Nvidia partners due to being a little on the expensive side and not much zippier than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800, the Tegra 4 chip should still find its way inside a handful of Android devices by the end of 2013.

There are already a few tablets powered by Tegra 4 (two from Toshiba, one from Asus and one from…

Nokia Phablet Now Tipped for June 2014 Launch, 8.5 and 10.5-Inch Tablets Also Coming Soon

There's been no shortage of rumors concerning Nokia's uncertain future in the mobile décor of late, but I bet you weren't expecting to hear what you're going to in a few minutes. According to anonymous and thus untrusted sources of MyNokiaBlog, the Finns are not only readying a phablet, as we heard a while back, but three…

GadgetTell Review: Lenmar Helix 11,000mAh Battery Pack

With summer in full swing, the desire to get out of the house and find fun, relaxing places to spend time only intensifies with the weather. With cold drinks and smartphones in hand, we typically share these experiences with friends and family as life happens.

But the biggest problem with mobile devices and all-day excursions is that batteries simply can't keep up with our rate of consumption. A day at the beach spent blasting music through Pandora, taking photos and video, and reading e-books in the shade, drains smartphones and speakers down until they're dead dead dead.

And it's not even close to dusk, when the party really begins. Dead parties? Only on Halloween.

We introduced Lenmar's "Undead Power" campaign earlier in the year. I was taken with the whole concept behind the marketing, that I went ahead and acquired my own Lenmar Helix 11,000mAh external battery pack.

For one who is often on-the-go, it was the best solution for me to keep my gadgets charged.

Lenmar Helix ports & LED lights

The Lenmar Helix may not look flashy, but the overall design, with rounded corners, impresses a sense of style and quality. It's flat and not a smudge-magnet, which I appreciate greatly.

It has a soft, black rubberized surface with a belt of silver in…

Leaked: Press Photo of New Motorola Droid Maxx for Verizon

It's been a long time since Motorola last headlined the news with the release of a new product, but the now Google-owned company is looking to get back in the spotlight big time. Aside from the Moto X, which we knew was coming ever since last winter, three other phones might see daylight this week.

There's the Droid Ultra (aka XT1080), Droid Mini…

Do Tablets Really Need Expandable Storage?

cNet published a round-up on Friday of their top tablets with expandable storage. I read it, and, while glad to see them recommending a Nook HD+, I was underwhelmed by their selection. Which made me wonder. How necessary is expandable storage anyway?

Surface tablets were first on their list, which was ironic. Windows RT gobbles up so much internal storage that expanded memory is not really an option. It's more of a requirement. The other…

myType Keyboard, Desktop Feel That Fits in Pockets

Laptops are quickly appearing to be passe, while smartphones and tablets are skyrocketing in popularity and use. The ability to pull portable devices from pockets and bags, in order to work or entertain, is invaluable.

myType Keyboard folded One notable setback for smartphones and tablets is the lack of a physical keyboard. True, there are some cases that incorporate built-in keyboards for tablets, but they're typically for tablets don't…
