X10's Budget-Friendly Tablet Available Now, Worth Looking at

August 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

X10, in an effort to provide the best tablet under 200 bucks, has brought us the AirPad. The X10 AirPad is an Android 2.3 running, 7″ device that isn’t the most impressive tablet on the market, but it is a viable option for those who want the technology, but don’t have some 500 dollars to fork over. The reasonably up-to-date (no Honeycomb) OS version gives it a boost over its cash-conscious competition; the Acer 7C, for example, only runs Froyo 2.1.

More specs go as follows:

White HTC EVO 3D Coming Exclusively to RadioShack Next Month

August 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This EVO 3D has strayed from the typical “look” its family offers, which is a pretty big appeal to customers who may not have been totally sold on the phone before.

The new, white, sleek HTC EVO 3D will be hitting RadioShack (and only RadioShack) September 9, so if it caught your eye, you’ll know where and when to get your hands on it.

There isn’t a confirmed price for this made-over EVO, but it shouldn’t wander off too far from it’s counterpart’s $199 (on contract) price tag.

Apparently, Sony Ericsson and Walkman have joined forces to bring us the Live, a Gingerbread 2.3 touting, music-centric smartphone with a dedicated Walkman button, deep Facebook integration and all that fun stuff to bring customers a music-sharing experience.

It’s got a 3.2-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display powered by a single-core 1GHz processor with 380 MB of RAM. It’s also got 2 cameras, a front facing VGA for video chat, and a 5 mega pixel back camera with 720p HD video recording. The Live sports wifi, blutooth, and Sony’s xLOUD system for enhanced audio. There isn’t any pricing info as of right now, but we should see something pretty soon, since the phone’s supposed to be coming out this fall.
