Motorola LAPDOCK 100 turns select Moto smartphones into laptops

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the moment when smartphones are beginning to replace laptop computers. The newly unveiled Motorola LAPDOCK 100 connects to select Moto smartphones effectively turning them into laptops.
To be fair, we’ve already seen something similar in the past with Celio REDFLY products, which worked with Windows Mobile devices, providing users with big screen and big keyboard. This time, however, we’re talking about an Android-based solution and we’re hoping other handset manufacturers and/or third-party accessory makers will release more of such “docks” that sing along an array of smartphones.
The Motorola LAPDOCK 100 weighs 2.2lbs (less than 1Kg) and works...

Did you hastily pre-order the new Apple iPhone 4S last week when it was made available for purchase and forget to add Apple's new AppleCare+ protection program when you checked out? No worries, as Apple is offering iPhone 4S pre-order customers the option to add the coverage through November 14, even if they didn't opt for it at time of purchase.

HTC Titan may launch as part of a buy one, get one free promotion for AT&T

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

Thanks to a screenshot obtained from Microsoft’s Windows Phone Facebook page that has since been pulled down, it appears AT&T may be ready to offer the HTC Titan as part of a buy one, get one free promo when it launches.
The HTC Titan is expected to become the flagship Windows Phone handset for the AT&T network. With its monster-sized 4.7-inch display and single-core 1.5GHz processor that should be no surprise. Of course it will ship with the Mango update that has brought several improvements to the
mobile platform such as improved multi-tasking and a better web browsing experience thanks to Internet Explorer 9.

Sure, we knew this day was coming, but now the wait is finally over.

Both handsets are now on sale from the carrier, running $229 and $259, respectively (plus plan, post-rebate, naturally).

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II update comes with bigger icons, FOTA widget

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II update comes with bigger icons, FOTA widget

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

Samsung will soon start pushing a new firmware update for its flagship Galaxy S II smartphone. As far as we know, it will be a small release, packing two noticeable changes – bigger icons (up to 30% bigger) and the System Update widget, from where users will be able to quickly see whether a new software version is available and promptly take action.
Aside from that, it’s kinda safe to assume there will be some other changes under the hood, though at the moment we can’t confirm this. Similarly, I guess some of the Samsung apps will get tweaks and the device should be faster after the update.

Motorola Spyder and Xoom 2 turn up in more leaked shots

Motorola Spyder and Xoom 2 turn up in more leaked shots

Posted on Oct 12, 2011 by MG1

We've already seen Motorola's new Xoom 2 tablet(s) and Spyder smartphone (otherwise known as the Droid HD) turn up in a few leaked shots, and we've now received a handful more that are said to show both devices in their near final form. That includes a Verizon logo on both the front and back of the Spyder for the first time (though that's not exactly unexpected), and the Xoom 2 (the 8.2-inch version in this case) is said to be in "better shape" than the earlier prototypes, which had apparently been suffering from some rather serious bugs. As you can see above, the Spyder also has what appears to be a slightly more tactile back, which could well be the Kevlar coating that's been rumored for t...
