Could A 12 Month Lease On Your Next Android Phone Make Contracts More Appealing?

Think about it. A newer, sleeker, more powerful Android device comes out just about every month. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just borrow the latest Android powered smartphone — for a fee — and trade it in for a new one every 12 months? That’s kind of the idea TMNG Global is pitching [...]

Hands On Video: ASUS Padfone – Is It a Phone? Tablet? Or BOTH?

We haven’t heard much from the ASUS Padfone since it was teased then eventually revealed last year. Arguably one of the greatest ideas ever to hit Android, I was hoping we’d see a lot more from the device. Well, on my trip to ASUS’s CES showing, I was not only able to snag some pics [...]

Hands On Video: ASUS MeMO 171 – 7-inch Tablet With Stylus and Bluetooth Companion Phone

Fujitsu Arrows Is An Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad-core Godzirra Phone

Before we could even get our grubby little hands on the Fujitsu Arrows, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core packing superphone (or “Godzirra-phone,” as I like to call it), Engadget managed to bypass security and get some almost hands-on time with device.

INQ Abandons Cloud Q Facebook Phone in Favor of Ice Cream Sandwich

After the apparently poor reception of their first Facebook-laden offering, the Cloud Touch, INQ Mobile is abandoning plans to release the second promised offering in the lineup.
