    The Sony Xperia S will be available at Sony Stores April 17th. Specs wise it's a HSPA+ phone with a very good 12mp camera, sharp-as-a-tac 4.3" 720p display, dual core 1.5Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, NFC, HDMI and a generous 32GB of storage. It currently ships with Gingerbread but a Ice Cream Sandwich update should be available in days. It's locked to Rogers.

    It's $99.99 on a 3 year.

    We tried one recently and were pretty impressed. It's a noticeable improvement over last year's Sony's but the competition is going to tough with the HTC One X and Galaxy S III around the corner. What do you think?

    Boost Mobile recently added the LG Marquee to its lineup of Android smartphones. Prepaid carriers differ in many ways to the postpaid carriers like AT&T or Verizon. There are no contracts and lower monthly fees but the cost of the phones are usually higher because there is not subsidized pricing. This is the case with Boost Mobile who is charging $279.99 for the phone, but the monthly fee is only $55 for unlimited everything.

    Shazam. One of my favourite apps for iOS bar none.

    I can't tell you the wealth of new music I've discovered since using this program and ones similar to this. (remember trackID on SonyEricsson phones?)

    Looks like Facebook for iOS has gotten quite a few major revision changes
    These include:
    *The ability to go offline in chat
    *Correct profile pictures for your friends
    *Friend lists include ALL your friends
    *Name is displayed correctly in photo sets
    *Photo's of people who like Facebook pages show correctly
    *Friend request only lights up when you actually have a friend request (imagine that)
    *Retina iPad changes

    Breaking news: Samsung rebranding Galaxy: Samsung Galaxy S III to be known as the iSmartPhone 5s

    Buoyed by their recent victories in their on-going patent battle with Apple, Samsung has decided to raise the stakes by rebranding their Galaxy series. Going forward their Galaxy smartphones will be known as “iSmartphone”, starting with the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S III which will be known as the ‘Samsung iSmartphone 5s’.

    Other features are includes a 5” 1080p Cornea display, Samsung S6 quad core processor and a voice assistant called ‘Miri’.

    Samsung reportedly wants to ‘out-Apple’ Apple. What’s next? The Samsung iTab? I’ll post more information as I get it. What do you think?

    Google just announced new versions of Android. We already know that Android 5.0 will be know as Jellybean. After that things get interesting - despite the fragmentation issues present in the Android platform, Google appears to have given into their OEMs and instead is going to be embracing it. Starting in 2013 there will be a version of Android for each form factor. Here’s a breakdown:

    Android 6.0 for smartphones with 4” or smaller screens will be know as Keylime Pie
    4” to 4.5” smartphones will run Android 7.0 aka Lemon Squares
    4.6” to 5.0” will run Android 8.0 aka Macaroon
    5”+ will run Android 9.0 aka Nanaimo Bar

    On the WiFi Tablet side 8” or smaller Tablets will get Android 10.0 Oatmeal Cookie
    Android 11.0 Peanut butter cup will be for or 9” WiFi Tablets.
    3G Tablets get Android 12.0 aka Quick brownies
    4G Tablets get Android 13.0 aka Rice pudding
    Devices that don’t fit into any of these will receive Android 14.0 aka Snicker Doodles.

    Mmmm, time for me to go make some Snicker Doodles!

    Google didn’t specify what other differences there would be between the various versions. Looks like it’s time for Google to make room on their lawn for a bunch of new statues. What do you think?

    Here’s our review of Apple’s new iPad. The first thing I noticed is that the new iPad feels noticeably heavier and thicker than the iPad 2. However, when I compare them side-by-side, they’re both essentially the same thickness (the new iPad is 0.6mm thicker). On the other hand, the weight of the new iPad is 10% heavier than the iPad 2.



    Apple calls the new iPad ‘the iPad’, while the older version is the iPad 2. Yes, the new iPad shares the same name as the original iPad. Think of it like Batman Begins, they’re rebooting the franchise. Just to make things less confusing I’ll call the new iPad the “iPad 3”.

    There are 5 new key features in the new iPad: LTE radio support, a higher resolution display, a new A5x dual core processor with quad core graphics, 1GB RAM (up from 512MB) and finally; a decent camera.

    Agreed, I think it may be sensible to open 600 to those who don't have 700 in a given market. VZW has 700 nationwide, AT&T does have markets with no 700 but it'd stop them buying everything up. 700...
