So the day has finally come where the official announcement has been made for the Samsung Galaxy S II to hit US soil. The press conference is under way right now (Dan is there as I type), and just as we thought details are slim. A 4.5″ SAMOLED+ screen is destined for AT&T, T-Mobile, and [...]

New PowerSkin Battery Case for Samsung Nexus S 4G
I am a big believer in having extra battery power handy, just in case. I travel an awful lot–once a week on average–and having, say, a Mophie Juice Pack Air for my iPhone 4 is very nice indeed; it relieves me from having to worry about looking for free plugs at the crappy Southwest terminal [...]
Androids in SPAAAAAACE!
image courtesy Brighthand When the alien invaders arrive, they’ll no doubt swing by the International Space Station for a quick rest stop before invading Earth. Let’s hope they’re fans of open source software and not iOS fans, since they’ll find Samsung Nexus S phones powering several satellites there. According to Brighthand: SPHERES were created by [...]
USBFever Releases o’ the Week
So just the other day I was driving with my fam’ (including the dawgs) out to the ‘rents-in-law in Louisiana. I killed our battery a while ago and had to install a new one, which means our GPS system in the van doesn’t work. No problem: I use the trusty iPhone. Unfortunately, I can’t mount [...]
USBFever Releases o’ the Week
Austin advertises itself as (aside from being weird) the “Live Music Capital of the World.” Which is probably true, honestly; almost every restaurant and bar in the city has at least a tiny stage and a place for an audience. Seriously, you can drive down any street with a bar or restaurant or, for all [...]
USBFever Release o’ the Week
When I was a wee laddie, back in the 70s, a friend of mine had one of those spy cameras. Not one of the cheap ones that you get by answering an ad in the back of the latest issue of “Legion of Super Heroes” (by a much, much younger Mike Grell), but a real [...]
New Releases from PDAir
This is Chu, from Blade Runner. He just does eyes. Only eyes. Genetic design, only eyes: PDAir just does cases. See, only cases. Lots and lots of cases. And this week, they’ve release one for the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 (which I maintain is one of the stupidest names for a phone ever–long, incomprehensible, unpronounceable, [...]
PDair Leather Cases for Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100
So you say you managed to get over the fact that it has a long, unpronounceable, and nearly impossible to remember name, and you went ahead and got yourself a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100, right? What’s the very first thing you wondered as you were unboxing your new toy? No, no, not that! The [...]
Samsung Reaches 100 Million Apps Downloaded
Apple spends a not-inconsiderable amount of their time bragging on how many apps have been downloaded, how many songs, how many movies, blah blah blah blah blah. But Apple is not the only company selling apps, and even though I’m an iPhone guy, my love of competition is pleased to see that Samsung is now [...]
MWC: One Last Look at Mobile World Congress 2011
Beyond hamming it up with wandering oompah bands at Mobile World Congress, Helena and I managed to get hands-on time with some of the new devices and technologies that will be causing a stir in 2011 and beyond! HTC’s New Android Devices HTC won me over with their lovely new ChaCha. After using the BlackBerry [...]
The Hidden Price of Our Gadget Obsession: Child Labor
One item that came through in Apple’s Supplier report last week was a marked increase in issues with child labor in supplier facilities, particularly in China. The report noted that Apple ” audited 127 facilities and found 91 cases including 31 workers who had been hired prior to reaching the legal age, but were no [...]
MWC: Hands-On Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 10.1
As you know, Judie is in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress. It has been a quiet week for her… NOT. She literally hit the ground running and has not stopped. Yesterday she had the chance to preview some of the devices that are coming from HTC in the next months and today… today she got [...]
Samsung Tab Afterglow Reality Check: ‘Quite Small’ Sales, Quite Large Returns
If you are like me, you love the iPad but were thrilled to see Samsung doing well with the Galaxy Tab. I wrote back at the beginning of December how the Galaxy Tab had sold 1 million units in two months, and Doug wrote about more mainstream attention being paid to the wonderful little Tablet. [...]
PDAir Releases Cases for the Samsung Google Nexus S GT-i9020T
Even though I think the names of the various Android devices have gotten a bit silly (look at this one! and don’t blame PDAir; they’re just making the cases!), and even though I currently use an iPhone, I am glad to see the competition. Without competition, the tech sector will die a slow, lingering death. [...]
