A new Ice Cream Sandwich update is ready for the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi version and the Nexus S GSM variant. It's the newest version 4.0.4, and it fixes a few bugs and adds a few minor features. Owners of the Verizon Xoom 3G and Sprint Nexus S 4G might be wondering what this means for them. We don't know, but the difference is the carriers. Because the Wi-Fi Xoom and international Nexus S versions aren't carrier based, they get updates faster. That's also why the Asus Transformer Prime ...

Whether or not you believe 2011 was the year of the tablet computer, many of the best devices from last year are finally seeing their prices fall. That includes the marked down $400 iPad 2 and $350 Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 at Best Buy. The Galaxy Tab is on sale, but it's been out long enough that it will likely stay at that price. It's $100 less than the price it debuted with, and the same goes for the iPad 2.

Temple Run, the easy to play, hard to put down iPhone game finally debuted for the Android system March 27, and it's available now as a free download. The popular game has gained worldwide attention for its simple controls and addictive style. Run. That's the game. Swipe left and right to change direction and swipe forward to jump. Oh, and there are evil monkeys chasing you.

New Sprint phones are near release as the carrier readies the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a rumored April 15 launch. Sprint customers waited four years for the iPhone, and they're about to get a small taste of what larger carriers are more accustomed to. No less than three new premium handsets could get the green light over the next two months. It's practically a holiday for Sprint customers because not only are the new phones close to their debut, but the company is finally building it's ...

Nokia's big push into the U.S. smartphone wars begins April 9, and when the Lumia 900 releases on AT&T for $100 on contract, people will want the best new apps for their new toy. Lucky for them, Nokia has been hard at work on new apps for quite a while. Most of that work has gone into Nokia's own operating system Symbian, but now its Microsoft partnership will be the focus.

HTC will release its second iteration of the aptly named Titan April 8, and the new Titan II LTE for AT&T will feature a huge 16 megapixel camera along with its giant 4.7-inch screen.

Draw Something, the Pictionary-like iPhone app, is the newest addition to a growing number of casual games designed to take advantage of the increasing numbers of people connected through smartphones. Much like the Internet has changed hardcore gaming, wireless devices are transforming the way non-gamers look at easy to play, social games. Instead of first-person-shooting and dungeon style adventure games, smartphone users are flocking toward games that take advantage of fast wireless connection...

Two great iPad alternatives are the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because they both have a great combination of performance and features. While the Galaxy Note 10.1 isn't out yet, we already know the Prime is one of the best tablets out there.

Sprint customers finally get to choose between Android and iOS flagship phones when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus arrives to the carrier's lineup. For years, Sprint subscribers couldn't even get the iPhone, and now they are getting the Galaxy Nexus, a high-end device that will have many trying to decide which to get.

HTC is going with the less is more ethos in 2012 and putting out fewer, but better phones instead of one device for each and every niche it can think of. For the T-Mobile network, HTC has cooked up the One S, a 4-inch Android 4.0 phone it unveiled at the Mobile World Congress show in February. We don't have a price or release date yet, but we know it's a step down from the new flagship One X for AT&T.

AT&T is prepping for a barrage of new phones in the next two months, but one of its most unique devices is already out. Samsung's Galaxy Note is a large, wide phone for $300 on contract. We're pretty certain the Nokia Lumia 900 will be $100 when it comes out, and the price isn't the only thing different about these two phones.

AT&T will debut the Nokia Lumia 900 April 9 in stores around the country with online sales to open the day before, a new report says. We don't have confirmation of the price, but it's widely believed to be coming out at $100 on contract, tech blog WPCentral reported. Additionlly, we don't know the off contract price should people be thinking of going in that direction. We're also hearing reports Microsoft and Nokia are going to launch a massive marketing campaign to ge these little b...

Lenovo, Asus and HP all make great laptops under $500, and depending on what kind of configuration you're looking for, they can be even cheaper. We're basing these rankings on the fact most have Intel i3 processors that will support users who don't have any super-heavy lifting to do with their machines. They'll multitask fairly well, but not at a high speed. Gamers and video editors will likely not find much here to like, but if you are on a budget or if you are looking for something...

Google has been rumored to be working on its own Android-powered tablet being touted as the Nexus Tablet. That is, a Google branded device with no other software from a manufacturing partner. It's also rumored to be a seven-inch tablet costing less than $200, and it would do well to emulate the Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone now on AT&T. Since no tablet can take on the iPad without some awesome apps, a Galaxy Note-like device with a stylus could be the spark the Android world needs to corral ...

Both AT&T and Sprint are offering some quality kit on major discounts, and the Samsung Galaxy S2 is just $10 on contract at AT&T. Sprint has the Samsung Nexus S 4G for free until the end of March, but we don't know how long AT&T will keep the Galaxy S2 at only $10. Additionally, the price for the S2 is on the Web site only, and the Nexus S price is for new lines only, no upgrades.

AT&T is now pushing down Ice Cream Sandwich updates to the HTC Vivid smartphone. Vivid was one of the first LTE phones for AT&T's high-speed network, and while it hasn't been as popular as the Samsung Galaxy S2 overall, it will nevertheless get the Android 4.0 update first. We don't know if that is a Samsung decision or AT&T, but the international variants of the Galaxy S2 have been getting the ICS update already.

File sharing and allegedly copyright infringing Web site Megaupload wants to reestablish its now-downed site in order for people to retrieve their files, but so far, the government won't allow it. Carpathia, a server company who hosted the Megaupload content is more or less stuck with the 25 petabytes (that's 25 million gigaybtes) of content because of the ongoing legal battle related to Megaupload's alleged piracy.

Apple's new iPad 3 went on sale March 16 for starting at $500, but it's really not the only tablet out there. If you're looking for some alternatives to the world-beating iPad, we've got the 10 best options in a range of categories to help you make the best choice. We've heard reports of the new iPad getting too hot, burning through data plans at record speed and taking forever to charge its battery. Whether or not you consider those barriers to buying one or if you are just check...

Don't call it Microsoft vs Apple, but the tablet wars are peaking in 2012, and if Microsoft can debut a Windows 8 tablet this year, it might be enough to out muscle even the mighty iPad 3.

T-Mobile has begun offering the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G at a few stores in the U.S., and it will have a nationwide release on March 28. It's $150 on contract, and that means it's about $70 less than the Amaze 4G, but that doesn't make it a better deal. While both phones are marketed as 4G phones, they are not LTE-enabled like some phones on AT&T or Verizon. The Galaxy Blaze is a half-step down from the popular Galaxy S2, and apart from the fact it shares part of its name with the Sams...

New iPad users who've purchased the 4G LTE-enabled variant have begun hitting their data plan limits only days after taking their new toy out of the box. There are many reasons for this, and several ways to combat it, but another more comprehensive problem is being unmasked in this situation. As more and more mobile internet devices connect to cellular antennas, carriers have to make more room for them. Additionally, carriers are looking into new shared data plans so people don't need to h...

Sprint is giving away the Samsung Nexus S 4G in a Web only deal until the end of March, possibly to clear the way for the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper. The only catch is the deal is not for upgrades. It's only if you sign a new contract or add a new line to an existing contract. We've heard the Galaxy Nexus will finally leave its Verizon birthing ground for Sprint on April 15, and if that is true, this Nexus S deal would make some sense.

Sprint could be welcoming two new smartphones to its lineup April 15, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the LG Viper, according to tech Web site S4GRU. Sprint has a press conference lined up for April 5 with HTC, and they could make a joint announcement about a new EVO phone.

A new report says Sprint will release the HTC One X on June 10. We've already heard the Galaxy Nexus will be arriving on the Sprint network, and the same report says it will debut April 15, according to the S4GRU Web site. The One X is codenamed the Jet, but could debut as the next offering in Sprint's EVO lineup. It's been just about two years since the EVO went live as Sprint's original so-called 4G phone.

French conglomerate Alstom is building a wind farm prototype along the country's Atlantic coast, and the 100 meters-tall turbine tower uses 75 meters-long wind blades, the largest in the world. The turbine is meant to be used above the ocean's surface, so the engineering and manufacturing have to be precise to withstand the harsh weather and wet conditions. An offshore location for a wind farm is seen as a much better place because of the consistency and strength of the wind.

Best Buy is offering the Acer Iconia Tab A100 for $260 and free shipping while the Nook Color price has dropped to $170. Could one of these be the best under $300 tablets? Obviously, we're leaving out the Nook Tablet and Amazon Kindle Fire, but the Acer A100 and Nook Color are on opposite sides of those devices, price-wise. So, looking at these two seven-inch tablets could give a bit more perspective on what's the right choice for tablets in this price range.

Renowned gadget geeks from the iFixit tech blog have completed another Apple gear teardown with their un-building of the new iPad 3. Using the most exacting tools and an eye for gadget guts, iFixit try to give readers a chance to peek inside the iPad and see just what all the fuss is about.

It's a time-honored tradition for adult Americans. You've decided to buy a digital single-lens reflex camera, the kind with the $250 interchangeable lenses. It's an important decision because they both cost nearly $1,000, but the Canon EOS Rebel T3i and Canon EOS 60D both have gotten rave reviews. Additionally, they both take such great photos, you may never have to buy another camera for the rest of your life. Like so many things, we prefer to keep photography simple. However the camer...

HTC has announced the Sensation will be one of the first phones it updates to Ice Cream Sandwich, and T-Mobile is now giving them away in a Web only deal through March 20. It normally sells for $150 on contract, but for the next 36 hours or so, that price is cut to zero with the Web only instant $150 discount. It's a powerful phone with a good quality display and full HD video capture. That it will get Android 4.0 sooner than most other phones is an added bonus.
