It's been a while since we've had a chance to try out a new phone, which is odd, because there have been so many great phones coming out lately. Amongst all the smartphone ruckus, it's easy for any single phone to get lost in a sea of and overwhelmingingly large…

If you've been on the highway recently, you've probably seen billboards for the Motorola Droid smartphone, available through Verizon Wireless. We've already reviewed the Droid as well as its successor, the Droid Incredible. If you haven't seen the billboards, the general idea is that "Droid Does" just about anything. The…

You might have noticed that we test-drive a lot of phones here at the Daily. I'd normally provide a sufficiently detailed introduction for such a review, but in the case of the Kin One and Kin Two, I think the official website does a better job than I can. Regardless…

I had the chance to spend this past week using an HTC Droid Incredible, and I have to say, I am impressed. I don't have a smartphone of my own, but I have had some past experience with the iPhone and Droid Eris. This is one of the first phones…

If you’re frustrated at the amount of remotes you need to control your home entertainment system and you have an iPod touch, an iPhone, or you’re planning on getting an iPad, you’ll be glad to hear that you can consolidate all your remotes right onto your Apple device thanks to…

I recently got a chance to test out the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus. If you've been around the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus in recent weeks, you've undoubtedly seen ads for these phones on the side of a city bus. You may not be familiar…

A box containing a collection of fancy new Verizon 3G smartphones arrived to our office last week for testing. The Palm pixi + pre were quickly snatched up by my colleagues and I was given the opportunity to review the Motorola Devour. Having little, if any experience with smartphones I…

As some of you may have noticed, our comments section looks a little bit different today. We just swithced from Drupal's built in comment module to a new system called "Disqus."
Why? I'm glad you asked.
There were two main reasons we switched. The first one is that, with Disqus, you can…

When I first saw the Verizon MiFi I was impressed that such a small thing could do something so important, allow you to access the Internet from almost anywhere. It’s a portable wireless router that uses Verizon’s cell phone network to get you to the Internet. Wherever you get an…

Yesterday, Apple announced their newest product - the iPad. This is designed to be a device that fills the niche between a smartphone and a laptop, but I am unconvinced that this provides much more than just a smartphone like the iPhone.
First of all, the iPad, like the iPod Touch…

The holidays are over. Some of us have new cell phones to show for it, while others might just have a few gift cards lying around. Maybe you've got a few of each, and not only are you fretting about what to spend your gift cards on, but your home…

While I realize that the print Finals Edition is already on the racks, the Online Finals Edition will not be out until Thursday (the start of Finals). It just worked out better to do the print edition early this year but the Online version will be out during its regular…

Ever wish you could chill with Leonardo da Vinci? How about having him make you weapons from ancient scripts that you use to kill corrupt public officials? What nerd hasn't, which is exactly why Assassin's Creed II is a blast to play. A blast from…

Let me simply start by saying, I call shenanigans on Sprint. I don't want to seem like a Verizon fanboy, given my recent favorable review of the HTC Eris (http://www.mndaily.com/node/55139), but Sprint is walking in a gray area with their new "4G" network.
While Sprint's "4G" network boasts speeds…

When I first saw the Eris, I basically scoffed it off as the phone you buy for the loved ones in your life who are less technically enabled. After having Verizon drop off a demo of the Eris, I Realized how wrong I was. Before I begin, let me state…
