The Droid first variant from Motorola certainly did it for Verizon, but the big question with the arrival of this years Droid successor is whether it can repeat the Droid success which we saw the first time around. At that time, the surge of the Android OS was a major factor, whereas now, Android is an established name so the onus was on Motorola to pack the Verizon Droid II with some novel and useful integrations.Going by the face value, there is hardly anything you can pick to differentiate between the Droid and the Droid II other than the glossy blue-silver look on the front

The Sony Alpha range A55 and A33 interchangeable lens options burst on to the scene yesterday and before you get ready to shell out your money in the next couple of months, here is a quick snap review you may like to read.To begin with, the A55 looks like a DSLR but since there is no movable mirror on board (hence no reflex), the right terminology for this product is DSLT (where T implies translucent). The clear attempt from Sony is to tone down the size of DSLR’s and making them more usable with the likes of the A33 and A55.An important element that helped in toning down

The moment a new product is introduced in the world of gadgets or gaming, it ends up getting both positive and negative reviews. While we definitely like the positive ones, we also need to throw light on the why people think a particular itinerary isn’t worth spending time on. Talking about Blizzard’s fresh arrival Starcraft II Wings of Liberty, the game isn’t getting the rave reviews we expected, instead, the critics are out there with their caustic daggers.The funny side to this criticism though is that some gamers believe that the Wings of Liberty (one part of

It is the month of August people and Sprint customers, more than anyone else, have waited for it eagerly. It is because the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S Pro variant, the Epic 4G, is scheduled to arrive (or should have arrived) in a matter of days. The gang over Intomobile got lucky as they took the wraps off a pre-release variant, and reading what they tell us, it surely looks a scorcher of a smartphone.The spirits at the Sprint consumers camp are already high, courtesy of the HTC EVo 4G availability and now this gift from the US Carrier only betters the situation. It surely looks a

Motorola and Verizon’s high-end Droid X smartphone has finally become available in stores as well as for online purchase. As the latest effort from the OEM and the mobile carrier to compete against the iPhone after the Droid, the device has to first establish its superiority among other Android-based phones. And it seems that the Droid X has been built to become successful in this venture.The Droid X has been designed to be larger in size than the Motorola Droid and its body size surpasses that of the HTC EVO 4G as well, even though the two smartphones have the same screen size

Archos has been in the game of making Android tablets for quite sometime now and they have their share of a fan following. If you are  one of those, you will have reason for delight as the details on one of their upcoming tablet devices has just leaked thanks to JR.com.The new tablet will be called the ARCHOS 32 and will have a rather small 3.2” 400×240 screen.

The Samsung Galaxy S smartphone has been adopted by different carriers under different names. Though it is only AT&T and T-Mobile who have released their variant of their smartphone so far, named Captivate and Vibrant respectively, Verizon and Sprint are soon expected to follow suit with their Fascinate and Epic 4G handsets respectively. But the Galaxy S seems to be a keeper, no matter which carrier it belongs to.The 4-inch Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S, which was one of its most talked-about features before its launch, certainly lives up to the hype. The color contrast

There is still time before we can lay our hands on the upcoming Nokia flagship N8, but a few lucky ones are already doing that, experimenting with the handset to the core. It’s initial reviews in Russia made us believe that Symbian^3 is not as good as Android or the iPhone, but there might be a reason which makes this Nokia flagship definitely better than the others.We are hinting at the audio playback quality be it through the headphones, the mono speaker or the HDMi out and the reason for this is the ability to run Dolby Mobile. Dolby Mobile not just helps the audio

Not a long time ago at the Computex 2010 event in Taipei, NVIDIA presented to the world the GeForce GTX 465 graphics card, hoping to compete in the mid-range segment with other popular names like ATI. The plans to rope in more graphic card sales however did not materialize for NVIDIA and very quickly NVIDIA re-assessed the precise requirements of the segment.This helped NVIDIA to come up with a better alternative (better priced as well) and within no time GTX465’s younger brother GTX 460 was thrown into the market. Where 465 drew inspiration from the bigger 470’s and

The Samsung Galaxy S smartphone may be winning hearts by the minute but winning Wall Street Journal’s principal technology journalist and die-hard iPhone fanatic Walter Mosberg’s heart is certainly an achievement worth writing home about.Mosberg’s review of the two variants of the Galaxy S on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, called Captivate and Vibrant respectively, which was posted in his column on the All Things Digital site, has revealed that he actually likes the phone.Though Mosberg’s inner iPhone fanboy reared its head throughout the article, stating that the
