Samsung's Galaxy S2 and Captivate Glide are two very different devices, mostly because the Captivate Glide has a slide-out keyboard for improved typing. A physical keyboard? What is this, 2009?

Apple-made smartphones and Android-based smartphones are the two most widely used smartphones in the world, but one way to really tell them apart is by seeing which is easier to use. That means turning on an iPhone or an Android-powered device and measuring which software system is easier to navigate and figuring it out just by playing around with it for a little while.

Galaxy Note by Samsung will debut in the UK soon but in October, HTC debuted another large smartphone, the 4.7-inch HTC Sensation XL. It's not as big as the forthcoming Note's 5.3-inch screen but even 4.7-inches could be too large for some.

The audiophilic HTC Rezound launches today on Verizon Wireless. In addition to 4G LTE and a hefty 1.5 Ghz processor, the Rezound includes Beats Audio technology from Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics line and is the first HTC phone to come with a 720p HD touch display.

Boxing and controversy have always gone hand-in-glove, as have concerns about fight-fixing in what is one of the more exciting spectator sports around. Saturday witnessed another controversial chapter in the sport's history, thanks to the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez bout.

iPad 2 and Motorola's Xoom 2 battle it out in a tablet duel of deuces to see who gets to make an iPad 3 or Xoom 3. No, we can't force the winner of this battle to begin preparations for the next version of its established moniker, but it's good to check how the latest 10-inch Android tablet would do against its Apple nemesis.

Steve Jobs would have been proud of the unavoidable iPhone 4S collision with the Samsung Focus S. He famously called former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates unimaginative in the Walter Isaacson biography, 'Steve Jobs.'

Yes, a tablet war between Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet has broken out because somebody has to battle it out for third place behind the iPad and Amazon's Kindle Fire. That's not as harsh as it sounds, rather a reflection of how insanely popular the Kindle Fire has been, at least when measured by the number of pre-orders.

Ice Cream Sandwich has yet to make its debut, but the Microsoft system has been out for a while now, so let's see how the two systems' social features compare.
