From Htcyou: AT&T;’s oft criticized network and having a very different design than the other Galaxy versions, the Captivate can be looked at as somewhat of the black sheep within the Samsung Galaxy S family.

FaceTime is a great concept because it is free, but its being restricted to Wi-Fi (for now) also makes it limited. Fring is an application that allows 3G and Wi-Fi video calling between iPhone 4 owners. Best of all, though, is that Fring is cross-platform and enables callers using Android, Symbian, or iPhone 4 to chat together. More »

In a MacWorld “shoot out” that proves smartphone cameras still trail behind dedicated cameras for image quality, the iPhone 4 came out on top with its 5-megapixel lens over notables like the unreleased Motorola Droid X and the HTC Evo 4G, both with 8-megapixel lenses (click the headline picture for an uncompressed 1605×1200 version).

From Htcyou: Blog Android and Me is the first to be graced with a preview of Motorola’s Droid 2, which looks like its predecessor (except for the re-worked keypad) but internally is housing a beastly 1GHz TI OMAP3630 processor (Droid has 550MHz TI OMAP343) with integrated PowerVR SGX530 graphics and 512Mb RAM (over 256Mb in the Droid). Benchmarks conducted show that the Droid 2 is substantially faster than the original, which is still one of the more powerful smartphones out there. More »

From Htcyou: With smartphones increasingly reliant on multi-touch for web and app navigation, how well the touch sensors on the display perform matters more than ever.

Enjoy the nearly 10-minute length video teardown of Microsoft’s new shiny Xbox 360.

Solomods is offering the service for $129. Have a gander at what is involved, and you will probably concur with my estimation that the mod is too simplistic to deserve anywhere near the asking price. Basically, the only potential performance boost is the 12V fan –being able to see some of the internals and the DVD spinning is worth over a bill? The new Xbox 360 appears to be as easy to disassemble as the old model. Anyone can do it in under 10 minutes. More »
