When we were invited to check out the all new and super high-def ASUS Transformer Prime 700T (previous version was TF201) for ourselves, we jumped at the opportunity. Ever since ASUS took the lid off their all new and improved Transformer Prime a few days ago, I was curious to see if performance would suffer [...]

When it comes to Google TV, one could say it’s more of a niche market than anything. So what happens when you combine one niche with another like Japanese anime? Pure magic. Well, if samurais and robot maids are your thing. Crunchyroll has finally added Google TV support to their popular anime viewing app, giving [...]

Oh, sweet Mother Theresa, what is this? It appears that Sony Erics– Er, Sony is finally stepping up to the plate and preparing a superphone of their own, the LT28at for AT&T (I know, it stings). I originally mistook this leak for an American version of Nozomi (LT26i) — which could still very well be [...]

Apparently, Sharp is the Android manufacturer to beat with 25% of the market share in Japan. The Sharp AQUOS Phone 102SH is the company’s latest offering of premium Android handsets [...]

Okay, so this is probably the 5th time I’ve heard of this issue in our Phantips alone and I felt it was time to give it some attention. Apparently, some HTC EVO 3D users are reporting a mysterious black-screen-of-death issue where their screen will go black, become unresponsive and the capacitive buttons will remain lit. [...]

Screen protecting is great if done right. It can increase the resell value of your phone, keep away annoying hair scratches (even on Gorilla Glass) and prevent damage to your screen in the event of a fall or accidental drop (we’ve all been there). But there are a lot of people out there who are [...]

Last summer the HTC EVO 4G kicked off the era of jumbo-sized smartphones in style with its 4.3-inch display. Since then the trend has been big, big, and bigger when it comes to high-end handsets, with the average full-touchscreen Android phone now sporting a 4-inch screen.

The new-look Motorola DROID BIONIC has been making its rounds, dispelling any rumors that the phone might never come to pass and revealing what alterations we can expect when the handset eventually reaches Verizon’s shelves.
