Samsung Galaxy SIV Rumor Grab
With the Samsung Galaxy SIV launch just one week way, we thought it wise to revisit some of the rumors that are circulating about it, as well as the (apparently) ‘real’ leaked specs that have cropped up recently and what those mean for Samsung, the GSIV and how they reflect the current smartphone market.
Sony Xperia Z Preview
The Sony Xperia Z is Sony’s first big entry to the quad-core Android wars that are sure to hit 2013 with more power than they did 2012. Encoragingly, the Xperia Z represents an almost new era for Sony. This new flagship smartphone really does sport modern hardware and a new UI skin.
Google Glass Coming in 2013?
Google has released a new video demonstrating a more realistic look at what Google Glass could end up offering as a user experience. Less focused on providing a crazy heads-up display (HUD) for your life, the new Google Glass video is more focused on recording your life, accessing and referring to information easily and sharing pics, videos and experiences while keeping your hands free.
HTC One Launch Event
It’s a constant of the tech industry that no matter how many spec sheets, reviews and opinion pieces you read you’ll never really get a proper feel for a device until you hold it in your hands and use its key features. Fortunately for us, HTC held a belated HTC One launch in Sydney last night and we got to do just that.
HTC One Finally Officially Announced
The HTC One, formerly known as the HTC M7, has been officially unveiled at media events in the UK and New York. The powerful new flagship for HTC looks to be a real contender, offering up impressive hardware and some cool-sounding new features. Of course HTC has released great phones before, but has always seemed to be overshadowed by Samsung and Apple. This time round, if the HTC One makes good on its promises it just may find some of that market share that HTC so desperately wants.
Hopes For the Mobile World in 2013
We have high hopes for the mobile world in 2013. If the past few years are any indicator, mobile technology should move forward an impressive amount within the next 12 months. Usually what we’ve seen is a lot of rumor and speculation for the first half of a year followed by an absolute explosion of new devices and services in the months from July to October.
The Mobile World After Nov 2012
A little over 12 months ago we posted an article about the mobile world after August 2011. In it we detailed some of the more interesting things that had happened that year, as well as some of the bigger stories. We also tried our best to get our readers to take a step back and look at the tech world from the outside.
Virgin Offering $100 off HTC One V
Virgin Mobile is offering $100 off the HTC One V this Monday, November the 26th. This offer is a one day-only sale. So get in quick if you’re interested. The One V is the budget sibling in the recent HTC One line of Android smartphones. It is also the aesthetic descendant of the popular HTC Hero and HTC Legend, carrying on the large-chinned legacy of its forebears.
Humble Bundle #4 on Android Review
The Humble Bundle is a game package-deal that crops up now and again. The idea is that customers pay as much or as little as they want for a pre-set pack of games that have proven themselves as popular in the recent market. Not only is the price chosen by the purchaser, but the distribution of the funds as well. How the money is split between the developer, charity and the Humble Bundle organizers is decided by the payer. As an added bonus, customers who pay above the current average payment are gifted with an extra game (sometimes multiple), adding more incentive for customers to pay slightly more and more as time goes on without actually enforcing anything.
Google/LG Nexus 4: Our Thoughts
The latest Nexus device, future flagship of the Android operating system, was announced a few weeks ago and it’s probably about time we wrote a little something about it. Interestingly enough, the Nexus 4 is not a Samsung, HTC or even, as some speculated, a Motorola-manufactured device. Instead, the Nexus 4 will be coming to consumers courtesy of LG.
