Sharp is not stopping with just small, smartphone/Nintendo 3DS (rumored) 3.4″ 3D LCDs; today, the Japanese HDTV giant unveiled 10.1″ 3D displays that do not require glasses to work. Also presented were 3D televisions, which need active shutters to be appreciated (thus, I am ignoring them). More »


Remember the eviGroup Wallet, a 5″ Android MID? That is nonexistent, but here is eviGroup’s chance to redeem itself. The Paddle is scheduled to be out by June for €699, with Windows 7, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz CPU, and multi-touch. More »


Palm is about to sell to the highest bidder, says Bloomberg. Lenovo and HTC are apparently the front-runners to buy the sinking Palm corporation. More »


From Htcyou: Want an iPhone lookalike that has an 800×480 LCD, dual cameras, WCDMA/GSM, comes with two 1600mAh batteries, runs Android, and is only $243 from China? More »


Sunno’s S880 Pro is a higher performance smartphone that has a lot going for it: 1,680 CNY ($246 USD), a 3.6″ 800×480 screen, an 806MHz Marvell processor, and a 5 megapixel camera with flash. Unfortunately, the S880 Pro also runs obsolete Windows Mobile 6.5 and must be imported from China (Americans pay barely any Customs tax so not a big deal). More »

Everyone wants a piece of the tablet pie carved by Apple’s iPad. Chinese manufacturer Meizu is dreaming of an 8.4-inch tablet that technologically outclasses the iPad. It is a shame that we will never see the “Mbook” anytime soon, if ever. More »


From Htcyou: Droid Dog has since removed the images and information from its post, but John swears that Motorola’s square smartphone with QWERTY slider keypad is “definitely real,” and the story behind the source is almost too lame to make up. More »


From Htcyou: Government bureaucracies are good for something. Consider the FCC, which is a constant source of technological leaks. Samsung’s super-phone, the Galaxy S has gone through FCC testing and bears the dreaded AT&T; frequency bands. More »


It had to be the iPad. There has not been this much excitement over a gadget for years. Apple’s launch perhaps even exceeded expectations. 1,000,000 iPads should be moved within a few weeks, and 4 million might be an achievable figure before the conclusion of the this year. Oh, and all of the “professional” reviews have been ecstatically positive. More »
