The Windows 8 launch in October promises to be like no other launch. I think it will drive home several points that many of us don't seem to understand, like the fact that we both whine there isn't enough innovation and run for the hills when someone innovates in a mature market. I think Microsoft w...
Samsung has announced the first smartphone running Windows Phone 8, presenting the handset at the IFA consumer electronics show in Germany. The Ativ S is part of the company's Ativ family of devices.

Sony on Wednesday launched the Xperia Tablet S at the IFA consumer electronics show in Germany.

Archos on Wednesday unveiled a new Android tablet line, the Gen10 XS. The first product in this family, the Archos 101 XS, is a 10-inch tablet that weighs 21 ounces and is 0.3 inches thick. The tablet line runs an unskinned -- meaning a pure -- version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich and is Google-cer...
Microsoft has announced that Asus, Lenovo, Samsung and Dell will unveil tablets based on Windows RT by the time it launches the operating system in October.

Samsung on Monday announced that its Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which primarily uses a stylus for input, will hit the market this month. The Galaxy Note 10.1 has a 10.1-inch screen, a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, and a multiscreen feature that lets users run two applications simultaneously. "I think i...
MetroPCS on Friday launched what's claimed to be the first smartphone in the U.S. offering mobile digital TV access. The Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G is available at US$460 at MetroPCS stores and at the company's website. It will be the first MetroPCS smartphone to offer a mobile hotspot capability...
I've written about keeping your devices powered while on the road before, and looked at techniques to reduce draw -- like reducing screen brightness and switching off phone radios. I also took a broad-brush look at different technologies, like battery packs and solar. Now I'm going to explain how t...
The Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD, movement is a reality for most IT departments today. And it's generally accepted that it was spearheaded by the tremendous popularity of Apple consumer devices -- primarily iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones. Based on the Apple model, users are encouraged to...
Smartphone customers in the U.S. want bigger screens on their devices, according to a study from T-Mobile.

In a followup to its Galaxy Note hybrid phone-cum-mini-tablet, Samsung is reportedly planning to release its successor, the Galaxy Note 2, sometime this year. The Galaxy Note 2 will apparently arrive with a 5.5-inch screen -- a fifth of an inch larger than the one found on the original Galaxy Note, ...
The iPad is an interesting product. It is basically a light Mac netbook lacking a keyboard but with touch. Had any other company brought this to market, it probably wouldn't have sold. The most successful product in its class that isn't an iPad is the Samsung Galaxy tablet, and it so close to an iPa...
