Motorola Droid Release Date

Jeff Trio — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:40:18 +0000

Motorola is back at the top with their hot new Android device.

The Motorola Droid ($200; Coming November 6) is Verizon’s newest iPhone competitor, or should I say iPhone killer – well at least that’s according to its new iDon’t advertising campaign.

Aside from being the first device to debut running Android 2.0 — complete with the all new Google Maps Navigation.

The Droid also rocks some seriously nice specs, including:

ARM Cortex A8 processor
3.7-inch
480×854 touch screen
5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
Bluetooth
GPS
Slide-out keyboard
16GB SD card, and more.

T-Mobile myTouch Release Date

Jeff Trio — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:56:53 +0000

T-Mobile’s next Android phone is official and coming soon! Although its much better designed than the first Android phone, we still had trouble finding the 3.5mm headphone jack – oh wait – that’s because the phone doesn’t ship with one!. An adapter is instead required.

I say wait for the HTC Hero which has a much better keyboard compared to the myTouch.

The myTouch is definitely functional, but we found ourselves missing the spacebar quite a lot.

The responsiveness was also about 1/3 that of HTC. The myTouch does come with a sweet case, but who really uses those enough where it is a deal breaker.

Sure it’s the only one of its kind, but it seems like it should have come out a year ago. Perhaps the best news is that T-Mobile is thinking about putting a visual voicemail app in the new app pack, though it wasn’t pre-loaded on any of the handset we checked out.

Scheduled release date: Late August.

Stealth MacBook Pro

It’s great that Apple has moved builds all their new laptops with the Unibody aluminum format, but not so great for those that liked the often unknown black models of MacBooks and PowerBooks from long, long ago. The new 15-inch Stealth MacBook Pro ($6,000) is coated with SofTouch material, leaving it with a durable matte black finish that any spy would be proud of.

It also features:

A custom matte screen
256GB SSD
8GB of RAM
An aire of “Badass-ness” that only a limited edition run of ten units can buy.

BlackBerry Tour Verizon Release Date

Jeff Trio — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:45:26 +0000

WOW, so they finally announced it – the first official confirmation that BlackBerry Tour is headed for Verizon’s network, after all the hype and PR it only took a little over a year for this moment to come.

The self-proclaimed “America’s Best 3G Network” mobile provider has unveiled a teaser page for the smartphone.

Not much else here other than a fancy product shot and a newsletter sign up, more importantly, it looks like an official launch can’t be too far off now – Shouldn’t be more than a month, or so I’m told from an insider.
