Sprint to pick up HTC One X as the EVO HD LTE?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
If rumors are to be believed, HTC's next flagship device for Sprint is code-named the HTC Jewel and will be a CDMA/LTE variant of the HTC One X. HTC and Sprint have gone on the record about the EVO name spanning many devices, and so far we have had the EVO 4G, the EVO Shift 4G, EVO 3D, EVO View 4G and the EVO Design 4G. As the flagship EVO 3D nears its first birthday we would expect to see another flagship EVO launched, and with HTC simplifying their product line the One X would be a viable candidate.
The HTC EVO HD LTE has been thrown out as a name for the rumored device, but since we don't know that it even exists that is subject to change. What we can reasonably assume is that- like AT...

SIMply NFC-Revolution is an NFC-enabled SIM card
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Morpho and INSIDE Secure have team-up to launch a first product that has the potential to bring NFC functionality to the mass market, reaching even those users who don’t have the latest smartphones. The new “SIMply NFC-Revolution” product incorporates INSIDE’s core NFC chip technology with SIM technology from Morpho and the end result is an NFC-enabled SIM card!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 arriving exclusively on Verizon Wireless on March 1st
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGalaxy Tab 7.7
Verizon Wireless has just announced that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 will land exclusively on the carrier on March 1st. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 features a 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display and runs on Android 3.2 Honeycomb. What might set you back though is the price - the Tab 7.7 costs $499 on a two-year contract. This means that you’ll be tied to paying a minimum of $30 for 2 gigs of untethered Verizon LTE data.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7’s screen comes with a neat resolution of 1280x800 pixels, which results in excellent picture density for its size. It also features a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, and two cameras: a 3.2-megapixel front one recording 720p video and a 2-megapixel one on the back.

he Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has just been officially confirmed and it’s as real as you imagined it - a 10.1-inch tablet with a dual-core processor and support for the S Pen.

Qualcomm's Gobi modem chipsets combine 84Mbps HSPA+, LTE-Advanced
Like UnlikeMultiple goodies on a single chipset? Yes, it's Qualcomm again, this time spreading word at MWC of its new Gobi modems.

Samsung announces Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.0, dual-core chipset and S Pen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid 4.0
Samsung on Monday took the wraps off another new addition to its Android tablet lineup, the Galaxy Note 10.1. Like the supersized “phablet” it joins in the Galaxy Note family, the Note 10.1 includes Samsung’s S Pen stylus for drawing, note-taking, highlighting and much more. Sadly, this still isn’t the high-definition slate we’ve been waiting for so it looks like Samsung is shooting to launch its Retina-like tablet later this year. The 10-inch Galaxy Note runs Samsung’s TouchWiz UI atop Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and includes a 1.4GHz dual-core processor along with the same cameras found in the original Galaxy Tab 10.1. In fact, the Note 10.1 essentially seems like a redesigned Galaxy Ta...

Apple working on both the A5X and A6 at the same time
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple’s going to come out with two new devices this year that will make huge waves in the mobile industry. One of them is the third generation iPad, the other is the sixth generation iPhone. Traditionally whatever chip Apple put inside the iPad would eventually end up in the iPhone. Case in point, the A5 made its debut in the iPad 2. Several months later we found it inside the iPhone 4S. Will the same thing happen this year? It’s too early to tell, but more importantly there are conflicting rumors flying around the internet. Some folks say that the iPad 3 will have a quad core processor called the A6. Others say that no, the iPad 3 will come with a chip called the A5X, which has the same amo...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersSamsungGalaxy S WiFi 4.2
Ladies and gents, introducing the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 – the latest Android-powered portable media player to join the company's portfolio. Just like the rest of the gang, it delivers the versatility and software variety of the Android platform with cellular connectivity being the only thing omitted.
As its name suggests, the display on the Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 measures 4.2 inches in diagonal. It is of the IPS LCD kind and has a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. The processor inside the device, namely a single-core chip clocked at 1GHz, may sound like something one would find under the hood of a last year's smartphone, but let's hope that it will go easy on the gizmo's 1,500 mAh battery.
