From Htcyou: The grapevine buzz is that June 2nd or 16th is the release date, but the prices seem to be accurate. $399.99 hits the sweet spot for most consumers and is very competitive with what is out there currently; however, $150 with a 2-year contract is ridiculous when Best Buy is offering the Motorola Droid for $129.99 and Motorola Devour at $69.99 with new 24-month terms from Verizon.

In a possible presentation with the American Heart Association, Nintendo could be holding an event on Monday to announce its Wii Vitality Sensor, which is an add-on device that attaches to the Wii-mote and monitors the player’s heart-rate.

Find out if the $199 Thuban is too good to be true or too good for its price. More »

A top-of-the-line 64Gb 3G and Wi-Fi iPad from Colorware amounts to a $401 premium over the same machine from Apple; however, Colorware jazzes up the tablet from its uptight silver and makes the iPad’s exterior sparkle. The 16Gb 3G is $1030, 32Gb 3G $1130, 16Gb Wi-Fi $900, 32Gb Wi-Fi $1000, and the 64Gb Wi-Fi $1100. More »

From Htcyou: Sprint has announced that the HTC Evo 4G is being packaged with an 8Gb microSD card in the pictured box. While 8 gigs may be insufficient for a select few buyers, most can live with it. At least Sprint has saved you $25 or whatever an 8Gb card goes for. By contrast, Verizon is giving out meager 2Gb cards (which is nearly useless) for a “limited time” with the Droid Incredible.

Japanese cell phones have taken a backseat to Apple, Nokia, HTC, Motorola, and the South Korean duo of Samsung and LG. While Fujitsu’s F-04B smartphone possesses some really amazing features like a removable Bluetooth keypad and a video projector module (sold separately), front and rear (12.2-megapixel) cameras, and an ultra high-resolution 3.4″ S-IPS LCD at 480×960, the custom operating system is abominable.
