The Hand-Stretching Samsung Galaxy Note Finds an LTE Home at AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGALAXY Note LTE
Samsung Galaxy Note made a splash in Europe back in September of last year. Was it a gigantic phone or a tiny tablet? No one knew! Well, the debate is about to come to U.S. soil.
The phone (yes, it's a phone, but just barely) has a 5.3-inch screen. It is, indeed huge. For me, it was usable, but I've got ape-hands. It would make our Kyle Wagner, with his famously tiny hands, explode. I was able to type on it one-handed, but even for me the far side of the screen was a bit of a stretch. The screen is, however, very pretty with 1280x800 HD Super AMOLED resolution. Bright colors, inky blacks. Very nice.

AT&T announces Pantech Burst and Samsung Exhilarate LTE phones, both cost less than $50
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungPantechAT&TExhilarateBurst
AT&T just announced at its Developer Summit two LTE phones that will cost less than $50 on contract. First up is the Pantech Burst, which will have a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, and comes in either black or red. There's also the Samsung Exhilarate, which is being described as the first "sustainable" LTE device. AT&T says the phone is constructed from 80 percent recycled post-consumer materials, and it has an Eco calendar and calculator to help you figure out how green (or not) you are.
You'll be able to purchase the Pantech Burst alongside the Element tablet (which was also announced today) for $249.99 if you buy a contract for both devices. Clearly, AT&T is looking to lower the price of ent...

iPhone turns five today: a smartphone launch worth remembering
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhoneiPhone 3GiPhone 3GSiPhone 4iPhone 4s
It's been said that Apple has managed to "steal" every CES for the past five years, and without a doubt, it all started on January 9th, 2007. In a day that'll live on in Engadget lore as being one of the zaniest, most overwhelming 24 hours in our history, we can fondly recall shipping Ryan Block a few hours northwest from the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center to the MacWorld Expo to cover what would go down as one of Apple's most memorable keynotes. What happened after that is evident to just about anyone who has even heard of a mobile phone, with Apple's singular smartphone (yes, the iPhone) going on to but pressure on the likes of Microsoft, RIM and even Google. In fact, we're wonde...

Tizen UI leaks ahead of Samsung I9500 debut
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Open-source smartphone OS Tizen rose like a scorched pigeon from the ashes of MeeGo last September, but its taken until now for the first screenshots of the platform to emerge. A cluster of shots were shared with SamMobile, showing a UI that’s markedly similar to pre-ICS Android and even Samsung’s bada. That may be no coincidence, however, since Samsung is one of the leads in the Tizen project, and may be bringing the first Tizen-based device, the Samsung I9500, to market imminently.

Huawei outs super-thin Ascend P1 S smartphone, raised entirely on fruit and veg
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHuawei
Huawei has been up to some impressive stuff lately, so we're not totally shocked to see this top-spec phone reveal itself at CES. Perhaps the Ascend P1 S's most surprising attribute is its thickness -- a mere 6.68mm (0.26-inches), which would let it glide past the 7.1mm Droid RAZR with barely a slice in the air. The screen is 4.3-inches along the diagonal, qHD 540 x 960, and -- to HTC's shame -- it claims to be Super AMOLED. There's a dual-core TI OMAP 4460 inside, clocked at 1.5GHz and accompanied by a SGX 540 GPU, which should be plenty sufficient to record 1080p video on the eight megapixel backside-illuminated camera. As if that wasn't enough, the Chinese manufacturer has also taken the ...

Lenovo S2 smartphone promises super-security
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLenovo
Lenovo has taken the wraps off of its S2 smartphone, an Android handset that the company reckons is significantly more secure than rival devices thanks to kernel-level encryption. That security protects personal information, helps avoid phishing apps and controls network and SMS traffic to prevent malware racking up your monthly bill; however, unlike the IdeaTab S2 10 tablet and K91 smart TV, the S2 only runs Gingerbread, not Ice Cream Sandwich.

ActiveVideo Network's CloudTV H5 links up with Siri, brings voice control to set-top boxes

So you ignored the same old design and moderately bumped specs, plunked down your plastic and picked up an iPhone 4S -- presumably on the allure of Siri. Well, that bodiless, digital lady helper's about to work her concierge magic on your cable TV. ActiveVideo Networks plans to demo an implementation of its CloudTV H5 apps platform -- including iVOD, amongst others -- to bring voice navigation to living rooms via your set-top box. After routing a user's requests over a cellular network, the company's servers do the heavy lifting and deliver the intended content and search results all supposedly in the time it would take to use a remote control.

Sony Ericsson teases us with a new device, is it the Xperia Arc HD?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
The Sony Ericsson Nozomi, also reffered to as the Xperia Arc Hd, hasn’t been the most well kept secret - pictures of what’s expected to be the next Sony Ericsson flagship have popped up from pretty much everywhere in the past month. What makes these different? There’s nothing blurry or unsure about them - the folks from ITProPortal are confident that they have gotten none other than the Nozomi and have given us the pictorial evidence.
But what’s interesting is that Sony Ericsson has teased a very similar device on its German Facebook page leaving us guessing what could it be.

Motorola Droid 4 gains DLNA certification as it slides into Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 4
It should come as no surprise that Motorola's upcoming Droid 4 smartphone would carry a DLNA certification -- just like its predecessor, the Droid 3 -- but if there were ever any doubt in your mind, then wonder no more. This handsome slider destined for Verizon Wireless has just earned its media chops from the Digital Living Network Alliance, which further solidifies indications of its near-term arrival. Sure, we're definitely looking forward to Moto's latest, although perhaps we're not quite so anxious as Best Buy.
