Somehow the years of brilliant Apple marketing have convinced us that, in a phone, what we want are things a phone really isn’t good for, or at best should be secondary to phone function. The rolling joke from day one, which I’m finding less funny at the moment because it’s a joke on me, was that the iPhone is great at everything but being a phone. But instead laughing it off the Island Samsung and others have emulated it which means we have a ton of Smartphones which do amazing things but kind of suck at, well, being a phone. </span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Granted the Z30 comes out at a time when BlackBerry is under a cloud. As I write this, it appears the firm’s ability to find a buyer or an investor who will take the company private has floundered, but with millions of customers it is still doubtful the firm will fail. But I think its success will be predicated based on its ability to get us to rethink what we want in a smartphone, switching to what really is important from where we are now. Let’s discuss this in the context of the Z30 and ask if Apple made us stupid. </span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Benchmarking</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I spent years benchmarking products and there are two parts of a benchmarking exercise that is often forgotten. One is start with a set of requirements, not start with an existing product, and the second is to apply weightings to those requirements because each will have a different importance. For instance if you were benchmarking cars and you had kids, having adequate safety for your kids would generally rate higher than having a pretty blue display on the stereo system. You might want the latter but your requirement for the firmer would likely be absolute. This allows you to rank products based on your specific needs. <br><br><img width="427" height="285" alt="" src="http://images.tmcnet.com/tmc/misc/articles/Image/2013/iphone-tile.jpg"><br><em>Image via </em><a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/"><em>Shutterstock</em></a></span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Why a Z30 is Better than an iPhone 5s</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On a list of priorities for something with the name “phone” in it should include battery life, wireless range (fewer dropped calls), and for something that is in the Smartphone class, the screen size does matter. Let’s touch on each.</span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Battery Life: It doesn’t matter if a phone has a pretty screen, tons of apps, or can connect to iTunes if the fricken battery is dead. Seriously, a decade ago we measured phones on battery life and that was one of the most important aspects of the phone and that battery life was measured in days; and not single digit hours. The Z30 has a massive battery that should again give days of battery life. </span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Connectivity: The number of apps and how thin the device is pale against the need to be connected. Having an important call dropped or being unable to connect in the first place. The Z30 has two antennas, not one, and each can be dynamically adjusted to work together to significantly increase range. This slowed the phone to market because the FCC hadn’t seen this technology used in a phone before and thus increased the review time for the product.</span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Screen Size: While the BlackBerry Z30 is hardly unique with a 5-inch screen their use of more efficient AMOLED makes it one of the most power frugal contributing to battery life. But in a Smartphone smaller isn’t better, bigger is better because you get more screen real estate to work with. The market share shift from phones in the iPhones class to ones that have larger screens suggest this, the size of the screen, is a feature people value highly. </span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Industry Standard Plugs</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In Europe they actually made this a requirement (one that Apple is currently choosing not to comply with) but when you use industry standard plugs you can borrow chargers, share chargers with other products from different vendors, and more easily connect to things like projectors (though, on this last, this is rarely done with Smartphones today. Having the combination of longer battery life and more power access should be a significant advantage.</span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Storage Expandability</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Also not unique to the Z30 is an SD slot but you won’t find one in an iPhone. If you do want to put movies and music on the device you choice in a phone without an SD slot it to either scrap it for an newer more expensive phone or not do it in the first place. For the cost of an SD card you can add the storage you’ll need to a BlackBerry Z30.</span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Security</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">With word that the NSA limitations on spying now consist of dead people, animals, and insects (for now) the idea of a secure phone has suddenly become far more attractive. It is somewhat ironic that this is what the US President, who is a big Apple fan, uses a BlackBerry himself to keep other governments from spying on him. Security should be a top tier requirement but for most it just isn’t which is why I’ve ended with it.</span></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Wrapping Up: BlackBerry’s Goal</strong></p><p style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To be successful with the Z30 BlackBerry has to get us to care about what we should be caring about in the first place. Battery life, connectivity, screen size, standard plugs, expandability, and security all of which the Z30 stands out as leading with. It lags on apps but are they really more important than all of this other stuff? Shouldn’t they be? I wonder if we should be pissed that Apple made us all stupid. Something to think about this week. </span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br><i></i><br><br>Edited by <a href="http://www.mobilitytechzone.com/columnist.aspx?id=100588&nm=Alisen%20Downey">Alisen Downey</a><br></span><div id="divChartPreview"></div></div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgb(215, 215, 215);"><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04039122109090658677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140216810087668686.post-88122352592497358932013-10-21T20:36:00.002-04:002013-10-21T20:36:52.172-04:00Line-Skipping Workaround for BBM Android and iOS Found<div id="home-main" style="background-color: white; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: dotted; border-width: 0px 1px 0px 0px; color: #444444; float: left; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 659px;">

You didn’t previously lodge interest in BBM? Now, you’re stuck in a waiting list to have access to BBM for Android or iOS? Lucky for you, an apparent line-skipping workaround has been found. According to <a class="ext-link" href="http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57608499-285/how-to-avoid-waiting-for-bbm-on-android-and-ios/" rel="external" style="border: 0px; color: #3b9af4; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="">CNET</a>:</div>

<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“The company’s wait list can actually be bypassed after downloading the app on either your Android or iOS device. Open the app, enter your email address, click Next, and then force close it.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This can be done on iOS by double-clicking the home button and swiping the app away. On Android, enter the multitasking menu and swipe the app away, or go to Settings, Apps, BBM, and click Force Close. After relaunching the app you should have the ability to create an account, which will assign you a unique pin, and begin inviting friends.”</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you or friends are still waiting, perhaps give this a try. Let us know if the workaround lets you begin using BBM on your Android or iOS right away.</div>

BlackBerry’s newest all touchscreen flagship was announced at a strange time, amid talks of the company courting talk of acquisitions. Nonetheless, it comes out of the gate swinging with the BlackBerry’s largest touchscreen to date – a full 5-inches, a powerful 1.7 GHz dual-core processor and the newest version of the BlackBerry 10 operating system on board.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But will that be enough to tempt buyers away from the more frequently chosen iOS and Android devices?</div>

Design and hardware</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/09/BlackBerryZ10_BlackBerryZ30.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="BlackBerryZ10 BlackBerryZ30 BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware. Or the software." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-687107" height="1846" src="http://cdn2.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/09/BlackBerryZ10_BlackBerryZ30.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="BlackBerryZ10 BlackBerryZ30 photo" width="2262" /></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Opening up the Z30′s box, I found the handset, charger, cables, headphones and the assorted little pieces of paper with things like warranty info. In our box, there was also an external BlackBerry battery booster pack (BlackBerry MP-2100 Mobile Power Charger) for the Z30 and a white leather case. We’d be surprised if these two items were included in the retail version as standard, though it would be a classy touch from BlackBerry if they were.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The BlackBerry Z30, while a part of the same series and bearing some resemblance to its Z10 predecessor, instead features all curved edges where the Z10 had straight-edged sides. If I was going to describe how the phone feels in the hand in one word, I’d say ‘smooth’, the same goes for the the actual touch on the display too. The official measurements are 140.7mm x 72mm x 9.4mm.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The overall result of the slight design tweak for the upscaling in size is that it’s actually much nicer to hold in the hand and more comfortable to use than the Z10, and I’m not that much of a fan of handsets of 5-inches or larger.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Around the outside of the chassis and below that 5-inch Super AMOLED display you’ll find a metal surround, adding a touch of class to the device and a few grams to the overall weight. The rear panel, however, is removable – and made of BlackBerry’s woven carbon fiber, but feels a little rubbery. Underneath is where you can pop in a micro SIM or micro SD card to expand on the 16GB of internal storage. Much as I like the option of adding a micro SD card, I didn’t enjoy the experience of really having to yank quite hard on the rear panel to remove it but I suppose it’s not something you do too often, unless you are forever hot-swapping.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_side.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Z30 side BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware. Or the software." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-695041" height="2322" src="http://cdn2.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_side.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="Z30 side photo" width="4128" /></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Despite that non-metal rear panel, the large-capacity battery, metallic elements of the chassis and that slab of a display all combine to make a rather weighty device – 170 grams to be precise. It’s hardly going to be a problem in terms of using it or carrying it around but it’s worth bearing in mind if you’re used to the super-slim handsets of late. On the plus side, the weight helps with the feeling that you’re using a high-quality device.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On the right side of the device, you’ll find volume controls and button for accessing the voice control system quickly, and on the top in the center there’s the power button. Slightly to the right of this, and on the front of the screen is the forward-facing 2-megapixel, fixed-focus camera capable of capturing 720p HD video or stills. An HD selfie is what everyone needs, naturally.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Hardware</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
As we noted in our quick preview with the Z30 last month, the size and quality of the display really bring the experience delivered by the Z10 on in leaps and bounds. The resolution does however max out at 1280 x 720 pixels with a 295 PPI rating, making it good but not best in class and actually lower than the Z10′s display. Other range-topping devices like Note 3, HTC One, iPhone 5 s and others can all offer better displays.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
That said, it’s mostly clear and crisp enough – it’s just a little lacking in brightness in comparison and images certainly don’t ‘pop’ in the same way they do on some of the devices mentioned above. However, as noted, there is a micro HDMI output so there’s always the option of watching back movies on a connected display.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn2.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_rear.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Z30 rear BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Also as noted before, BlackBerry hasn’t gone to town on the 8-megapixel camera as a point of differentation, and as a result it’s a completely unremarkable experience that follows the general rule of smartphone cameras. ‘Can take decent pictures in bright, well-lit conditions, otherwise all bets are off the table’. Again that’s not to say it’s particularly bad, simply that there’s better out there if what you want out of a smartphone is above-average camera performance. For every day snaps, it should do you fine but if you want perfect shots, you’ll need to spend a long time setting everything up manually – which was more effort than it was worth, for me.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Other notable hardware specs include 4G LTE support, 16GB of on board storage, NFC support, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 1.7 GHz processor. Helping it all tick along smoothly is 2GB RAM. And it does, for the most part, run smoothly. Navigating around the phone was snappy.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Software</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The Z30 uses the most recent BlackBerry 10.2 version of the operating system which brings a few tweaks to the platform, such as being able to respond to notifications and other messages without having to navigate away from whatever you were already doing. It’s evolution rather than revolution but a useful feature without a doubt.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The new version also brings a new Priority Hub to BlackBerry’s devices, which allows you to see messages that are important to you at the top of your inbox. To teach it whether something is or isn’t a priority message you simply hold your finger down on it and click either ‘Add Priority’ or ‘Remove Priority’. It works too, providing you spend the time teaching it a few things to start with.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
As with the original version of the Hub, it integrates all your messages, emails, IMs, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and any other connected accounts into one universal inbox. Thankfully, there’s the option of filtering on a per-account basis too.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Also new for 10.2 are the detailed lock screen notifications that show you the detail of messages and other notifications without having to unlock/open your device (if there is no PIN code present), which is handy (shown above).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The OS also keeps true to BlackBerry 10′s ‘Peek and Flow’ navigation philosophy too, allowing you to ‘Peek’ at messages (below) and updates in your Hub without actually navigating away from whatever you were looking at before and thus allowing you to ‘Flow’ your way around the device. It works surprisingly well, and helps the Z30 in the area where I consider it strongest: as a communication device.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_peek.png" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Z30 peek BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
BlackBerry’s heritage (and likely future) is in the enterprise space, so it’s little surprise that I think the Z30 does best is work as a communication tool. The predictive text and on-screen keyboard, in particular, I really like despite having gotten used to the Swype input on Android. Thankfully, the predictions are pretty smart and I love the way they show up in-line with the letter being pressed on the keyboard rather than in a list. Over time, the keyboard actually gets better too as not only does it learn the way you write, but it also learns <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">exactly </em>where abouts you hit each key. By adjusting a virtual second keyboard by tiny amounts, it ensures you’re always hitting the key you intended even if you’re actually a little bit off.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Call quality was good too, not stellar, but clear if a little on the quiet side. The other party also said it sounded clear and was without tinniness or echo.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
However, while I love the Z30 as an actual tool for SMS, email and other messaging, BlackBerry 10 devices have never been the quickest at booting-up to a usable state, in this case, to a point where the BlackBerry Hub was open and showing messages. On average, it took 1 minute 40 seconds exactly to get to that point, which seems somewhere between ‘a little slow’ and ‘actually really quite annoying’ for me. Perhaps you’re more patient though.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I’m obliged to mention the A word here. Apps.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_World.png" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Z30 World BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
BlackBerry has, and is still, making strides to add new apps to the BlackBerry World store (above left) every day, but short of building every major app itself can’t possibly attract them at a fast enough rate to convince users that it’s on a par with the rival platforms.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You’ll find direct integration with the biggest services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others like Drobox via Dropbox Connect. There’s also shortcuts to favorites like YouTube out of the box. However, if you’re looking for an all-singing, all-dancing entertainment center that can rival the sort of software found on recent Samsung, Apple or HTC devices, you’ll be disappointed. There’s no gaze control, biometric reader, or IR blaster to use it as a remote control for your TV. It’s an altogether more sombre affair.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Naturally, if you’re a BBM user, this handset will deliver as good as an experience as you can get on a touchscreen and offers support for advanced features like screen sharing and video calling.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The key problem with BlackBerry’s app situation is that while it’s not necessarily lacking in numbers and is trying to make sure all the biggest names are on board, with its current future looking uncertain, there’s little to encourage developers to put time and resources into building for the BlackBerry OS, certainly not ahead of more popular platforms. This isn’t a problem that’s likely to be fixed in the short term and ultimately depends on what happens around it being purchased. For now though, the essentials are just about there.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
While I said above that it did <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">mostly</em> provide stable performance, it did on a couple of occasions require a restart (or the threat of one, by holding down the power button) to get out of a loop/freeze that it had gotten itself in to. It didn’t seem to be a problem associated with multi-tasking though.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Hub_Voice_control_Z30.png" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Hub Voice control Z30 BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware. Or the software." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-695050" height="1280" src="http://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Hub_Voice_control_Z30.png" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="Hub Voice control Z30 photo" width="1441" /></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Similarly, other features like voice control (above right), while present, are less accurate and fully formed than those found on rival devices. You can do things like send a message, an email or open apps (Facebook, above), but it can’t be used for controlling the hardware and doing things like switching Bluetooth on and off. Recognition of words was a little hit and miss too, rendering the whole process a little frustrating.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
BlackBerry claims the Z30 has a 25 hour mixed use battery life, and I wouldn’t argue with that. It easily saw me through a day’s use without threatening to die. Whether that’s because there are less features and apps that I found myself using in comparison to other handsets tested could also be a part of that equation though.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
One feature I’m torn on is the BlackBerry Maps. I actually like the driving directions and traffic info, but having used Google Maps for so long I’ve gotten used to a little deeper level of detail and options. For a core experience though, it’s not bad.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Easily the best</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is easily the best BlackBerry 10 device on the market, particularly if you’ve never been particularly taken with its physical keyboard. Nevertheless, answering the question of whether you should buy the BlackBerry Z30 is a tricky question. If you’re a BlackBerry fan and you’re buying for now and the immediate future, then the Z30 is a no-brainer if you want to stick with the Canadian brand. Its hardware design and software tweaks alone make it a worthwhile successor to the Z10 – and its one of only a few phones that carries a 5-inch display well.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
However, the display <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">is </em>only 720p which is a bit of a disappointment and leaves it falling a little short of its rival equivalents. That’s not to say it performs badly, but if you’re comparing like for like, the Z30 comes up a little short.<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_micro.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b83015; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Z30 micro BlackBerry Z30 review: The problem with this phone isnt the hardware. Or the software." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-695052" height="973" src="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/10/Z30_micro.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="Z30 micro photo" width="3973" /></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On the plus side, the hardware support is solid on the Z30 and I’m always a sucker for handsets with a micro HDMI output and support for a micro SD card to give a bit more storage room.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Ultimately, I can’t escape the feeling that BlackBerry is still playing catchup with the Z30. It has a perfectly solid spec list and performs equally as reliable, if you can overlook a rare freeze and slow boot. But with rivals on the market pushing the boundaries of what their ‘hero’ handsets offer in terms of software<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">and </em>hardware , it feels as if BlackBerry is still having to go at full-speed to just about stay up to date and in the running, and for how long is anyone’s guess. The performance of the Z30 on many fronts is a word I’ve used many times – solid. But solid is rarely exciting and there’s little remarkable about the Z30 to shout about.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
If you love BlackBerry smartphones and are willing to live with a few foibles to have a great communications tool, then consider the Z30, but if you want something a little more exciting, something that’s equal to more than the sum of its parts then you might want to try before you buy to avoid disappointment. As the headline says, the problem for the Z30 isn’t with the hardware or the software, it just lacks something special to help it stand out from the crowd.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Duane Oppenheimer, 59 1/2, of Newmarket was charged with mischief and unlawful excavation on Wednesday evening, after cleaning staf</span><span style="background-color: white;">f at Upper Canada Mall discovered a large rectangular crack in a utility closet floor.

<br />
I don’t normally preen on a subject often. Obviously, I share my apparent enthusiasm for the Blackberry brand, even in the face of impending failure. For a long time, it seemed like our beloved Blackberry was on the way down. I had no desire for this to happen, and I’m sure most of my readers feel the same. That being said, I don’t go out of my way to promote Blackberry. Over the past year, I’ve even been somewhat skeptical at times. I’ve been excited, intrigued, and most of all loyal, but still cautious.<br />
<br />
Blackberry came out swinging though, and Blackberry 10 is everything good ol’ Thor promised it would be, and then some. The platform still has a long way to go, of course, but considering it’s still in its infancy it’s extremely promising. The long term potential of the platform is just phenomenal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The main thing that Blackberry 10 does is it provides a single platform that consumers can turn to. It incorporates everything that you could want or need, all in one convenient location. What do I mean by that exactly?<br />
<br />
Well, Blackberry 10 has the Hub, and it also has Balance. The Hub collects all of your messages, emails, notifications and social media updates and lists them all in one place. While Balance, allows you to switch between totally separate profiles, one of which is for your personal life and the other is for your work life. Since many people carry two devices on their person, one for work and the other for personal use, Balance is an incredibly powerful solution.<br />
<br />
One can’t forget the Blackberry keyboard with its unique prediction functionality, the wondrous Time Shift camera and last, but certainly not least, the Flow user interface.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But there’s one crucial element that stands out, or at least it has in the past. The Blackberry platform has never been known for its array of mobile apps. In fact, the failure to deliver unique content and compelling software is one reason the Blackberry brand took a nosedive in the first place. It wasn’t the only reason, mind you, but it did contribute to the problem nonetheless.<br />
<br />
Even now, Blackberry World is still missing some content from some of the leading developers in the industry. I can almost guarantee that for every app in Blackberry World, there are one or two more that you wish were available. Hell, there are quite a few apps that I wish were available on the platform.<br />
<br />
But it’s getting better, in fact, it’s gotten better over just the past couple of months. It seems like once Blackberry started showing off the platform in public, and folks started seeing what it can do, more and more developers signed on board.<br />
<br />
Many will say that they don’t purchase a device, or sign on to a platform for what it can do, or what it may be able to in the future. But I pose a single question, and it’s a rather blunt one at that, why not?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At this point, even though it was just released, Blackberry 10 is pretty much on par with both Android and iOS in terms of what it offers. It just came out! If you ask me, that’s pretty damn impressive.<br />
<br />
Blackberry unquestionably has a long way to go if they want to perfect the formula, but the fun has just started. The Z10 still has yet to launch in the US. In countries where it is already available, it’s seeing impressive sales.<br />
<br />
So what is the point of all this? Why did I write this entire post, and what am I getting at?<br />
<br />
There are many different things happening in the mobile industry, and some of them are exciting while others are contrite. Personally, I yearn for something fresh, something new, and most of all something different. Blackberry 10 has opened new doors for me while simultaneously offering the right avenues that I know all too well. When I use the platform, it feels different, but it also feels like an old friend.<br />
<br />
I’m excited for the future of the platform, and I’m excited for what Blackberry is doing. One thing is certain, Blackberry has a winner on their hands. I think it’s likely that they might take their rightful place at spot number three in the mobile industry. Only time will tell.<br />
<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
There are some things in life that, when you lose them, don’t seem to want to turn up ever again. And more often that not, this applies to luggage. But fortunately, there’s a new type of tracking device made specifically to solve this kind of problem that’s going to be made available soon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
A company called <a href="http://www.trakdot.com/">Trakdot</a> has set out to put an end to the problem of lost luggage once and for all. Its product, unveiled officialy at CES 2013, is called the Trakdot Luggage tracker and is basically a palm-sized tracking device that you can chuck into any bag or container in order to get updates on its whereabouts no matter where you are in the world. When paired with a compatible smartphone, it can give real-time updates with information that will help ensure you will never lose track of your luggage wherever you decide to go.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
According to Trakdot, the Trakdot Luggage tracker will also work with any SMS-enabled mobile device. So it’s useful not just with smartphones, but with feature phones and dumb phones as well. What’s more, it’s designed to work with any type of container anywhere in the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
In order to enjoy and take advantage of the Trakdot tracking experience for yourself, all you have to do is fork out an $8.99 activation fee along with a $12.99 annual service fee to get started. Of course, you’ll have to pay an upfront fee for the actual tracking device itself, and that will set you back $49.99. That’s a small price to pay to make sure you always knows where your luggage is, especially if you’re hauling a lot of expensive equipment around all the time.</div>

The Z has been announced officially, as well.</div>

The Xperia Z comes in multiple colors, and is water resistant. In fact, Sony has set up mechanical 'dunk tanks' that allow you to submerge half the phone in water for a few seconds at a time, with the display on (Sony claims it can stand up to one meter of submersion). Both of the dunk phones seem to be running strong after probably hundreds of dips in the wet stuff. The Z has a glass rear cover, and a rather unique circular side-mounted power button, along with a hardware camera button. It also has a microSD card slot, and is generally just <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">gorgeous</em> (though Sony's dated UI sort of detracts from the beauty.) The display is the rumored 5" 1080p, though we aren't certain. The rear shooter is a 13MP Exmore RS sensor of an all-new design, with "video HDR" mode (fancy). The Z runs Android 4.1.2, and packs a 2330mAh battery. The worst part? The release date: March, at the earliest, with retail availability starting in Q2. The whole show is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon Pro processor. And yep, NFC's there too.</div>

The Xperia ZL is very similar to the Z, though the back of the phone is styled differently, in a matte finish rather than the high-gloss of the Z. The ZL also has a rather large metallic ring around its rear camera lens, which I can't say I'm in love with. Still, it's a pretty phone, and we're looking forward to the impending spec sheet unveil during the press conference. The ZL is a little smaller than the Z, as well, which would sync up with the now-confirmed rumors of a 4.7" display. The ZL does not appear to have a microSD slot, nor the its larger sibling's water-resistance credentials.</div>

Xperia Z's razor sharp Reality Display, powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2, brings Sony's long-standing TV expertise to the smartphone and delivers an immersive viewing experience with super brightness and clarity. The smartphone shares capabilities with Sony digital cameras and features Exmor RS for mobile, the world's first image sensor with HDR (High Dynamic Range) video for smartphones. HDR technology gives clear images against strong backlight, so users can capture razor sharp pictures and videos whatever the conditions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Xperia Z also includes Battery STAMINA Mode that can improve the standby time by four times or more*by automatically shutting down battery-draining apps whenever the screen is off and starting them up again when the screen is back on.</div>

Sony media applications offer a consistent entertainment experience across a range of Sony devices.

<br />
Our international man of gadget destruction is back!<br />
In September, Darcy LaCouvee travelled to bustling Hong Kong to get the iPhone 5 and pitch itin a ruthless drop test against the flagship of the Android armada, the Galaxy S3. Suffice it to say, we didn’t like how that test ended, but luckily the mighty Note 2 saved face for the Android camp just a couple of weeks later.<br />
Now Darcy is back at it, but this time he drop tested two tablets, the category defining Nexus 7and iPad mini. Both of these tablets can easily be handled on the go, but their size makes them somehow susceptible to accidents. Unless you are really careful (or use a beefy case), it can be easy to damage your precious device, with those shatter-prone Gorilla glass screens especially at risk.<br />
So here we are, trying to show you what can happen when the unthinkable occurs. But we won’t ruin it for you. Just watch the video or check out the image gallery for a complete damage report.<br />

Don’t forget to let us know what you make of our iPad mini vs Nexus 7 drop test – which tablet is better and why?<br />

Uh oh Android faithful, better get in there and show some love for Samsung as a question posted on their Mobile USA Facebook page has backfired in a big way. When asked what would be the one electronic device respondents could bring on a deserted island, the response was definitely not what Samsung was hoping for. As of this writing, more than 90% of responses posted within the last 20 minutes has been “iPhone,” as I did see a few<span style="color: #585858; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></span>Galaxy S III<span style="color: #585858; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> responses thrown in there. Also, one person suggested a Microwave, though he didn’t specify if that Microwave was Samsung branded.</span></span></div>

It’s more humorous than anything else and it just goes to show that social media campaigns don’t always work in the way we planned for, but it doesn’t change that the Galaxy S III has been a huge seller. Even more important is Samsung’s recent ad campaign against the iPhone 5 and we will see how they match up over the holiday season as the two flagship devices for the two biggest smartphone manufacturers.</div>

Alright so the press conference on Wednesday is over and now that I’ve time to calm down from my excitement and get some other work done, I would like to express my thoughts on the whole event and the direction that Motorola seems to be going in. as you probably know by now, and if you don’t you should read our site more <img alt="icon razz Afterthoughts of Motorolas unveiling event" class="wp-smiley" src="http://omgdroid.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Afterthoughts of Motorolas unveiling event" /> , Motorola had a press conference last week unveiling what is to be known as “The new RAZR Family.”</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yep, the phone that has been out for only 9 months is already being replaced. After birth, Verizon went back in bed with Motorola and out comes the RAZR M, HD, and MAXX HD. Three phones, for no reason.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now my first complaint about this is an obvious one, who the fuck needs/wants the RAZR HD if there is a RAZR MAXX HD. They are the exact same phone software wise, yet the MAXX HD will have a bigger batter and larger internal storage. When reading that, who says “Nah, I want my phone to not last so long and not allow me to put so much on it.”? People, including myself, were mad when Moto did this shit in January — releasing the RAZR MAXX just 2 months after the original RAZR was released, dropping the price on the original. Motorola should cancel the HD and solely build the MAXX HD, rename it and offer it for the average of what the MAXX HD and regular HD will retail for. They wouldn’t believe how many sales they would get this way. I’m sure if the RAZR was never released and only the RAZR MAXX (under the name RAZR), for 250$ their sales would’ve skyrocketed.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Second, I’m glad the RAZR M is releasing this upcoming week, but what about the HDs? “Before the holidays” What the hell does that mean? Which should I be looking towards for judgement? Christmas? Thanksgiving? Halloween? Also how much are you going to rape my wallet? Should I just go get 350$ ready now? Don’t show me a product without telling me real information. Atleast Apple gets that right.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Also, what’s with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x)? If Samsung can create a phone that’ll have Jellybean (Android 4.1) out the gate, then why can’t you? Especially when you have an undetermined amount of time to release it. Good job on saying that the HDs will be updated this year, but having a phone running JB at release will definitely give you an edge these days. That was one of the reasons the Galaxy Nexus slapped the RAZR in the face last year.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Lastly, umm so what’s on your phone? Good it comes with chrome and ICS, but what else does it have? What features should draw me to your phone rather than something else. Samsung throws features on their phones like it’s no one’s business. HTC tries to make their UI the prettiest, add DSLR cameras and make my ears bleed with Beats. Sony even let’s me bring my gaming system to my phone. And you, …..? Tell me what I’m getting into with these devices.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I did this out of love Motorola, I love you guys. your phones, your tablets, everything. The RAZR M is a great device with great specs and price. Thanks for offering 100$ for my outdated Motorola phones I have. Also, thanks for updating the new one “quickly”. These are just some points that really stressed me out. Don’t get me started on Amazon.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You’re still in my heart Moto. XD</div>

I'm going to zag instead of zig here and do something different for this week's editor's desk column. Instead of several topics I'm going to focus on one. I'm going to put words to something that's been nagging at me for <a href="http://www.imore.com/copying-easy-ecosystems-are-hard" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">weeks</a>, <a href="http://www.imore.com/steal" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">months</a>, and<a href="http://www.imore.com/send-in-the-iclones-killer-instinct" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">years</a>. And I'm all out of mincing and sugar-coating...</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
No one can look at Samsung's mobile products over the last decade and not consider them anything other than a ruthless, relentless copy of everything popular that's came before. It's not that Samsung doesn't continuously push the limits of hardware specifications and capabilities as much if not more than anyone else. They do. But they do so by systematically, institutionally copying what other vendors have already done first.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Samsung does it to such a degree, and with such a consistency, that it's flabbergasting they can show up in court, swear an oath, and claim anything otherwise. Now they could claim it doesn't matter, that all phones and tablets and icons should look alike, and would be understandable as a strategy. But claiming they don't copy? Absurd.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Before the iPhone, Samsung copied the BlackBerry with the BlackJack. RIM sued, and Samsung changed the name to Jack, but kept the same design. Then, as now, they looked at the market leader and rather than asking how they could make "what's next", they asked how they could make what would be as close as possible "next to" it on a shelf. Rather than setting a course for the future, they set out to subsume the present.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/blackberry_vs_blackjack.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Following the iPhone, when Apple showed the industry what "was next", rather than trying to do to the iPhone, and later the iPad, what Apple did to Palm and BlackBerry, Table PC and netbooks, Samsung conscientiously, deliberately, made their own smartphones and tablets look and work as close to indistinguishably from Apple products as possible. They started with the Instinct and kept right on going with the <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Galaxy series</a>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/iphone_3g_vs_galaxy_s.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And they didn't stop with iPhones or iPads, either, but shamelessly copied everything from icons to interfaces, plugs to ports, dongles to desktops. They cloned devices, like they had Photoshops's stamp brush made manifest on the factory floor.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/ipad_galaxy_s_10-1.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This year Samsung introduced the <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Galaxy S III</a> and began to visually differentiate themselves from Apple. The shape was less a slab and more a river-stone, the charging was inductive, the sharing a physical tap away, and the screen would even ripple like water when you touched it... Just exactly what Palm did with <a href="http://www.webosnation.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">webOS and the Pre</a> back in 2009.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/pre3_vs_galaxy_s_3.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As a gadget lover, even if you love Samsung, even if you don't want to admit it, it's a huge disappointment. A splinter in the mind that mars what are otherwise phenomenal devices. A shadow in the periphery that stops you from enjoying the full light of their accomplishments.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Even if you can rationalize "a black slab is a black slab" it's impossible to rationalize "a yellow flower on blue background icon for photos is a yellow flower icon on blue background for photos", or "the shape of AC adapters, dock cables, and desktop computers are..." well, you get the idea. Even if you can dismiss individual instances as coincidences, when taken as a whole, it's impossible to dismiss the depths of Samsung's unoriginality as anything other than blatant, bold-faced copying.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/ipod_dock_samsung_dock.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And lets face it, it works. Hitching their design train to Apple's engine has helped make Samsung the most successful Android manufacturer on the face of the earth, and the only truly profitable one. That is no doubt tremendous incentive, and explains why Samsung did it, and while they'll likely continue to do it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.imore.com/copying-easy-ecosystems-are-hard" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Copying is inevitable</a>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But as someone who marveled at the Handspring Treo, the BlackBerry, the iPhone, the Palm Pre, and the Nexus One, seeing the perpetual lack of innovation exhibited by Samsung is disheartening. Call Apple's litigations "anti-innovation" all you want, but how can you not recognize copying threatens innovation just as much as over-litigation, if not more? How can you not see how its end result is a depressing future filled with me-too products that do everything but delight and inspire?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/iphone_galaxy_s_galaxy_s_3_-icons.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I'm not ready to be done yet. I'm not ready to concede that the iPhone at Macworld or the Pre at CES are the last time I'll truly be amazed by leaps forward in mobile. I'm not ready to accept a years-long drought filled with cheap knock-offs and increasingly conventional, commodity devices.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I bought and owned a Nexus One. I bought and own a Nexus 7. I'd buy and own another HTC or Motorola Nexus in a heartbeat. I've never had the slightest urge to buy or own a Samsung mobile device -- because I already have a Treo and an iPhone, an iPad and a Palm Pre.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://cdn.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/08/siri_s-voice.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 35px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I would love to add a Samsung device to that list, an original, novel, inspiring take on mobile from one of the giants of the industry. The Galaxy Note and the upcoming <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/device/samsung-galaxy-note-101" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Galaxy Note 10.1</a> are a start, but there has to be something beyond "with a stylus". There has to be a Samsung device that could be, for once, at the head of the design curve. A Samsung device that other manufacturers look to for inspiration and take their turn in copying outright.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Regardless of how the <a href="http://www.imore.com/apple-vs-google" style="border: 0px; color: #cb2c00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Apple vs Samsung</a> trial turns out, that's the challenge Samsung faces. To move from replication to innovation. To take their place as not only a market leader but an industry leader. To stop copying the present and claim a role in shaping the future.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
They have chance next year. No doubt there'll be a Galaxy S4/Galaxy S IV, and no doubt Samsung is already planning it. They have a chance to zag instead of zig, to do something as original as Apple did in 2007 and Palm did in 2009. I sincerely hope they take it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I hope they put a Samsung shaped dent in the universe.</div>

You’ll remember that 9to5Mac was the first to show photos of purported next-generation iPhone parts. Since then, many of the details – including the smaller dock connector – were affirmed by multiple mainstream reports. Unsurprisingly, as the new iPhone moves into production, more of these parts are starting to leak out to more repair shops.</div>

The leaked parts shows the bigger screen, different internals (such as a new flex cable holding the Home button in place), and the camera modules (front and rear). The camera module cutout looks to be larger, there is an enhanced version of speaker and microphone configuration at the bottom, new smaller dock connector (instead of 30-pin Dock Connector, 16-pin connector could be introduced). Another notable design change in the new iPhone front panel shows the FaceTime camera has been moved to a centered position above the earpiece speaker (it is currently to left of the earpiece in iPhone 4S and iPhone 4).</div>

Awhile back we told you about i-Mentalist's new personalizing tool called FUZZengine. It's a great app for downloading images, videos, and sounds for your BlackBerry PlayBook but it's real purpose, customizing and personalizing your native and third party applications, was not yet available. Well the wait is finally over! I-Mentalist let us know that they've just released their first FUZZengine compatible application called Slotch.</div>

Slotch is more than just your basic alarm clock. By combining world time and weather with beautifully designed graphics and multi-alarm capabilities all in one package you get a simple, easy to navigate, and useful alarm clock application for your BlackBerry PlayBook. It allows you to view as many cities as you want so you'll always know what time it is around the world, see current and future weather conditions in any of your cities when you wake up, and backup and restore your settings using their cloud service, SkyParrot. For those of you who like easter eggs that are embedded in applications, I discovered that if you enter in an alarm without a name, random jokes appear on the screen in its place.</div>

Slotch works like a charm on my PlayBook and offers a clean graphical interface. I recommend doing a restart after installing if you experience any issues. As for the social networking integration it only lets your friends and followers see your alarms and if you're using the application. If you don't want to make that information public you can easily enable or disable this feature in options.</div>

This application is currently available for the BlackBerry PlayBook for $2.99 in BlackBerry App World but coming soon to BlackBerry Smartphones running OS 5.0 and higher. As someone who can't wake up in the morning and uses more than one alarm clock to get out of bed, you can never have too many alarm clocks. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of other available alarm clock applications I do like the FUZZengine integration for changing my alarm sounds and images and how simple it is to swipe between the different cities.</div>

The Intoxicase Plus protects your iPhone, opens your beer (Photos: Intoxicase)</div>

At a tailgate and no one brought a bottle opener? Maybe you can use one of the tricks you learned in college: Use a lighter, bang it on a table… but if you’ve got your phone wrapped in an Intoxicase Plus, you’ll always have an opener at hand.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Not just some novelty case with an opener welded to it, the <a href="http://intoxicase.com/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #33779e; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Intoxicase">Intoxicase Plus</a> ($45) was specifically designed to withstand heavy use. (And you heavy users know who you are…) Slim and made of solid polycarbonate to protect your iPhone from dents, dings and scratches, the opener is crafted from stainless steel, and was “evaluated by dozens bartenders (with) hundreds of bottles opened.” Good enough for bartenders, good enough for me.</div>

And if having solid phone protection that’s your personal bottle popper isn’t enough for you, the Intoxicase Plus comes with a free app. The app features sound effects that play when you open a bottle, a counter that keeps track of how many bottles you’ve opened, and the ability to share your enjoyment of a cold one with the world via social media. And should your counter start winding up too high on a given night, you can also use the app to call a cab to get your beer-soaked self home.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
So basically it’ll not only protect your phone, but you too.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14.5px;">I am pretty certain that there is nothing worse than losing your BBM contact list. Us BlackBerry addicts rely on it so much. Backing up your </span></span>BlackBerry Messenger<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14.5px;"> contacts is not something new, however I often see on Twitter and other places the frustration that some people have who manage to lose all their contacts for one reason or another. Many people back up all their information using the </span></span>BlackBerry Desktop Software<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14.5px;"> but I also know a lot of people that don't. If you were to damage your BlackBerry beyond repair and were lucky enough to get a replacement or new one straight away you can restore you BBM contacts within seconds if you know how.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.5px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You will see that you have a couple of options for backing up. You can do it locally, which will be to your device/MicroSD card, or remotely to an email address. Backing up to the memory card works just fine but if you lose your BlackBerry you will have lost the memory card too. The remote option is probably the safest bet as this will allow you restore your BBM contact list on a new BlackBerry as soon as you have that particular email account configured.</div>

The process is so quick and easy that if you have not done it before chances are you will after seeing the video.</div>

If you haven't been completely content with the stock Contacts app on your renowned Cupertino handset, and were wishing there was a little more to squeeze out of it -- there might just be something in the App Store waiting to meet your needs. Enter Savi People. The 99-cent application essentially brings all your address book connections into one hub, but what separates it from the Contacts you've come to know is its integration with most of your preferred social networks -- you know, the likes of Twitter, Facebook and, with the latest update, Instagram. Assuming you give Savi People the credentials to get into your accounts, you'll be tweeting, sending direct messages and posting on people's walls in no time directly from the app. You can grab Savi People for a little less than a dollar right now, though that could change at any time<em> </em>as<em> it is</em> a "special" price.</div>

Last week Hyundai let us know that they are working on a BlackBerry application to work with their Bluelink in-car technologies, and now GM has officially stepped into the ring with OnStar. Today those with an OnStar enabled Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick or GMC that live in the USA will be able to access features like activating your horn & lights, starting your vehicle remotely, locking/unlocking your doors and more.</div>

Of course for some of these features you will need OnStar paid services and a data connection on your BlackBerry smartphone. The OnStar app is only available for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Bold 9930 at this time, but I would expect that to change in the coming months. Also, I hope that a BlackBerry 10 application using the Cascades framework is underway; I’m sure it would look amazing and function like a charm.</div>

Don’t get me wrong, those other keyboards had their uses, but paled after awhile. The infrared keyboard is nice, but not in direct light or sunlight. The mini keyboard wasn’t as useful after the Bridge was updated to use as a keyboard with my BlackBerry.</div>

I had ordered the case and couldn’t believe how fast it sold out. I saw it and felt it was the perfect companion for my BlackBerry PlayBook, that it would complete my BlackBerry and BlackBerry PlayBook. I ordered my keyboard/case from the <a href="http://crackberry.com/shopcrackberry-update-blackberry-playbook-mini-keyboards-finally-starting-ship" style="color: #990000; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ShopCrackBerry</a> where it was on sale, but the retail price of the Mini Keyboard is $119.99.

The case appears similar to the convertible case that came out at the same time as the BlackBerry PlayBook. The keyboard is very thin. Opening the case and removing the plastic off the keyboard I place it easily into the case, and it’s held in place by the little stretchy straps that hold the corners. The PlayBook fits easily into the top of the case, as it did with the other convertible case. There’s an opening for the headphones or aux port. Using the volume and the power with the case is so much easier. The bottom is left open for access to the ports when the case is open flat. The first thing I do is charge the keyboard to be sure it’s powered and ready.</div>

I type so much faster on a regular keyboard for a pc or laptop. This is considerably smaller, but perfectly compact and suited for the PlayBook.

The keyboard takes a bit to get used to at first because it is slightly smaller, but after using it for a while, you find yourself using it quite easily. The trackpad is nice and works very well and you can still use the touchscreen too.</div>

There are many pros to this keyboard and case combo. I love being able to type and have the entire screen of the BlackBerry PlayBook at my view. The trackpad is very responsive, the typing on it is very easy to use. The QWERTY keyboard is familiar and right at your fingertips and as you get used to the size and placement, it’s memory to your fingertips.</div>

The only con I find about the keyboard is that it’s so shiny that it’s easy to get fingerprint smudges on, so you may just want to have a wipe with you. It’s an absolutely sleek keyboard that compliments the BlackBerry PlayBook. The case offers protection for the PlayBook, houses both the PlayBook and the mini keyboard, and when you need to take this portable combo on the go, you close the case, and there’s an elastic strap that you put over the other side and it closes it keeping them protected and making it as small and portable as a diary.</div>

If you’re looking for that missing companion for your BlackBerry PlayBook, are looking to be more efficiently mobile, and feel more resourceful, then this case is the case for you and your PlayBook. If you have the case, let me know what you think, but I can tell you that I absolutely love the keyboard and the case, and love the portability. I love the size of my BlackBerry PlayBook and finding a case and keyboard that compliment it just makes it complete, it’s not just an accessory, it’s the perfect companion. Big surprises really do come in small packages. I can’t thank BlackBerry enough for such great devices or CrackBerry for taking orders and shipping them when they came in.</div>

Hero Academy is a great turn-based free iPhone game where you and a friend (or random partner) take turns moving and attacking each other with various army pieces on a checked board. You have a set number of action points with which to move your pieces, bring in fresh ones from your stash, upgrade your pieces, and, of course, attack. The main goal is to either whittle down a few crystals on your opponent’s side of the board, or run them out of troops.</div>

Apple’s built-in weather app is great and all, but sometimes you’re looking for more information about the weather than this app can provide. The Weather Channel app is a great alternative. It features interactive maps and radar, severe weather alerts, and hourly and 10 day forecasts. You can also watch videos of breaking news and weather coverage and upload and view photos of the weather taken by other users. And you get all of this for free!</div>

One of the most popular features that has many flocking to, and staying with, the BlackBerry platform is <a href="http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/3729/?lang=en" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #0072bc; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">BlackBerry Messenger</a>. One of the best parts of BBM is having real-time confirmation when your BlackBerry to BlackBerry instant messages are successfully delivered and read. BBM is all about reliability in communication and the power of knowledge. Once that ‘R’ pops up, in your mind you know that you should expect a prompt reply...hopefully. It’s not just a single letter <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="2ba9e03f1014285ced10b04a0ffa96817aad431b" grtype="null" id="GRmark_2ba9e03f1014285ced10b04a0ffa96817aad431b_from:0" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">from</span> the alphabet that has me hooked – it’s how many options BBM gives me. Ever since BlackBerry messenger first came out, it made a strong case of being forever superior to text messaging. I can add contacts to my network, use the personalization options I have to let my network know who I am and what I’m thinking or even make use of BBM connected applications to be more social while playing games or checking in at a venue. A standard SMS is 160 characters, which seems like a lot compared to a 140 character tweet, but it seems inefficient compared to the <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/apps-software/blackberrymessenger/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #0072bc; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2000 character limit of a BBM</a>.</div>

Instant messaging, in general leaves SMS in the dust, as it allows you to actually have a conversation, rather than broken thoughts and sentences that are easy to get confused -if there’s a 2 part SMS, you might get the second part first. Of course not everyone uses a BlackBerry, and those who may not know better may resort to using SMS to keep in contact with friends and family that use other platforms. Luckily, there is quite a selection of cross-platform messaging applications out there that keep you in the loop, regardless if someone is using an iPhone or a <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="5f3165f22917a556039e5c977d1dccf84f467542" grtype="null" id="GRmark_5f3165f22917a556039e5c977d1dccf84f467542_smartphone:0" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">smartphone</span> powered by Android or Windows Phone 7.

Like I said before, you definitely have more than a couple of options to look at when it comes to cross platform chit chat. The problem lies in getting the features you want. You may be used to BlackBerry Messenger and come to expect the exact same functionality when talking with someone using a different platform. As the song goes, “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need”. That being said, don’t forget that there are a good number of applications that do offer many features that you’re looking for.</div>

Whenever I hear someone asking what they can use to chat with users on other platforms, WhatsApp always comes up. It’s arguably the most popular cross-platform messaging application. It’s also one that offers a lot of the additional features that many have been hoping to get. You connect with your contacts by entering in their mobile number; no email accounts or special PINs, just their digits. You have the standard push, sent and received notifications, which we come to expect. They’ve most recently added the “Share Location” where, as you may have guessed, you can send the person you’re chatting to your current location or choose from a list of locations around you. They’ve also included the ability to set a group icon for group chat. Now that’s on top of some amazing features like exporting chat history and implementing a broadcast message. It could be said that WhatsApp has quickly become the standard for cross-platform messaging applications.

Until recently, Touch had been the application my wife frequently used. Now that the developer has ceased support for Touch’s predecessor PingChat, they can focus on adding to the impressive feature lineup that has been built into <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="926b958bcbeb28965fdb7d151bef6e09aa74a413" grtype="null" id="GRmark_926b958bcbeb28965fdb7d151bef6e09aa74a413_Touch:0" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Touch</span>. While it may not have an export chat history option available, it does boast message encryption and the ability to block people. The layout of touch is extremely fluid and provides more of a social network type of feel, through its Activity Stream, that makes you almost forget the cross-platform messaging capabilities. You are able to send media, as you can with most apps of this type, but you have to do so from within Touch <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="586783964e04b31ef19e7b55ca397ea8aa007575" grtype="null" id="GRmark_586783964e04b31ef19e7b55ca397ea8aa007575_itself:0" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">itself</span>.

Additionally, the response time of touch is outstanding. If you are a Pingchat user and you want to upgrade to Touch, you’ll find the process to be effortless.</div>

The sent, read and delivered stamps are all present and loved and the speed is fantastic. Even though it was removed from BlackBerry App World, you can still download and use it, thanks to an open connection to Kiks servers. If you do decide to install it, don’t tell RIM I sent you there, I don’t want to get into any trouble!</div>

HTC had no choice but reinvent itself; it was necessary for its survival. After a disappointing year in 2011, the One X is HTC’s most important phone since the Hero, when it introduced Sense to the Android world and cemented itself within the industry as a promulgator of form and function.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At first glance, the One X is barely recognizable as a HTC smartphone. Though its singularly precise bodywork and outstanding balance reminds us in many ways of the Sensation, the move from aluminum to a matte polycarbonate and subtly-curved body speaks to the company’s willingness to experiment.</div>

At the time of writing this review for the One X, it’s currently Canada’s most powerful Android device. On paper the device has it all, both outside and in. Let’s take a ride to the centre of the One X to see if the experience delivers on its promises.<span id="more-59582" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

The One X is a big phone, given that it has a 4.7-inch screen. But there is nothing excessive about it despite its considerable height and width: in the hand it feels approximately the same size as the 4.3-inch Motorola RAZR. To cut down on thickness — the One X is a svelte 8.9mm — HTC has embedded an 1800mAh battery within the chassis. So too have they done away with expandable storage, limiting the user to 9GB of SD card space and 2GB for apps. I say this off the bat to set expectations: this is HTC at its minimalist best.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These are controversial changes, certainly, especially since the international version has 32GB of storage. Other than that (and the quad-core LTE-less Tegra 3 chip) both models are identical. A volume rocker, flush with the device, is on the right side. The left, three-quarters of the way up, is the microUSB charger, a curious location indeed. Most users I’ve spoken to prefer the charging port on the bottom, made standard by Samsung.</div>

On top are the headphone jack and power button. Curiously the power button is on the right side, which caused some trouble when unlocking the phone straight out of pocket. Because of that whole-palm method of clutching the phone, it requires a subtle shift in the hand to reach the power button with the right index finger. For lefties this isn’t an issue, but it brings up an important question: is the HTC One X a one- or two-handed phone?</div>

As thin as the One X is, much of the time I found myself needing to either shift the phone in my hand to reach the top of the screen, or to hold it steady in the palm of my right while manipulating the screen with the left. This is true of the camera, too, as we continue our tour of the phone. The 8MP camera module protrudes slightly, surrounded by a metallic plastic ring that matches shades with the HTC insignia below.</div>

The mono speaker is elegantly etched into the bottom of the device using the same precision machine process as the Lumia 800. A Beats Audio logo above the speaker reminds us that we’re in for an aural treat, though ironically only when using headphones.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The two-handed question opens itself up again when using the phone’s superlative camera. While light enough at 130g to hold between thumb and middle finger, its length risks imbalance when tapping the on-screen shutter button. Cradling within the palm and stabilizing with the index finger while pressing the shutter with the thumb is also possible, but equally unstable.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
All this is to say that the One X is somehow impressively compact and deceptively large. Because the polycarbonate finish is slippery — exacerbated by oily or clammy hands — having to reposition the phone to reach the notification bar is a trade off for an enormous, and triumphant, 4.7-inch display.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
HTC has employed a slight curve to the phone, at both poles, ensuring a concave appearance from the side. But unlike truly concave displays such as the Nexus S, the glass on the One X is flat and the curve happens only to the plastic. Nevertheless, this slight outward glide helps fit the phone more comfortably in the hand — long phone calls were extremely comfortable on the One X.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ultimately, HTC has made huge improvements to its overall design philosophy with the One X. Small quirks aside, the company hasn’t released a phone that feels this coherent, this singularly focused, in a very long time, and that speaks to how much I enjoyed using it on a daily basis.</div>

With the One X, HTC has managed a non-Pentile with superb viewing angles, excellent maximum brightness and almost-perfect colour reproduction. This is the equivalent of the excellent Incredible S screen but with nearly three times the number of pixels.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I have two minor qualms with the One X’s display: its black levels don’t compare to that of an AMOLED display, and the phone’s automatic brightness levels leave the screen <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">too</em> bright in most situations. Let’s address each one individually. AMOLED displays will always have improved contrast levels over its rivals because they don’t employ a backlight; pixels are either on or off. A traditional LCD, even the Super variety, uses a backlight even on dark tones. But black levels on the One X are accurate and deep enough to offset many of the inherent advantages of AMOLED. The upside is that whites avoid the blueish hues that plague many of Samsung’s Galaxy devices, avoiding oversaturated colours in the process.</div>

It’s easy to be seduced by the absolute clarity of the One X; reading text is like scrolling your finger up and down a laminated piece of paper. And because colours don’t lose their vivacity when angling the screen to and fro, the larger-than-average screen better mimics the effect of reading a book than any smartphone I’ve used.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The second slight issue I have with the One X’s display directly relates to that scenario: the auto-backlight is a bit liberal, leaving the screen too bright in most situations. Not only does this risk depleting the battery more quickly, but in many cases I prefer to read on a screen that is slightly darkened.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the first things I did with the One X was load up YouTube and watch some HD trailers. The device is so clear, so fantastically bright and spacious, that it’s the first mobile device on which I haven’t shied away from viewing full-length movies. HTC Watch, Google Play and Netflix were made for smartphone displays like this.</div>

As I showed you in the hands-on, the One X blows away all other Android phones in the benchmark department. It nearly doubles its predecessor in CPU tests, and the upgraded Adreno 225 GPU smokes rivals such as the PowerVR SGX540.</div>

More importantly, the One X <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">feels</em> faster than any Android device I’ve used to date. Even the Galaxy Nexus, which was designed to run Ice Cream Sandwich, stutters in places that the One X does not. There were times that I didn’t even realize an app was open because there were no loading times.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I try to judge devices both objectively, using benchmarks, and subjectively, by performing “regular” activities such as browsing, consuming media, playing games and typing. As you can see above, the benchmark results speak for themselves, though the GPU is not quite as fast as, say, the Mali-400 in the Galaxy S II. But when browsing over LTE using Chrome for Android or typing a long email using SwiftKey 3 Beta — both have been known to cause the Galaxy Nexus to stutter — there is not a moment’s hesitation.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The potent combination of Android 4.0 and a Snapdragon S4 SoC seems to be the key here. Sense 4.0, too, is less overbearing than its predecessor, but the hardware acceleration in ICS and the inherent computational prowess of Qualcomm’s new chipset are the real winners.</div>

The excellent performance extends to the camera, too. HTC has embedded an 8MP backside illuminated sensor with a f/2.0 aperture lens, plus a dedicated processing chip dubbed ImageSense. This allows the phone to take shots at speeds of 4fps by holding down the virtual shutter button.</div>

Photo quality is uniformly excellent in well-lit scenes, and mostly good in low-light scenarios. In a future post we’ll take you through comparisons with the iPhone 4S, Sony Xperia S, Galaxy Note and Lumia 900, but for now we’ll show you some sample photos.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you saw the depth of field examples from the Hands-On, take comfort in the fact that the One X gives you a premiere photo experience. Not only is the shutter instantaenous but shots are generally in-focus and sharp, especially when you take the time to frame it.</div>

There are a number of guides, modes and settings to help you achieve that perfect shot, too. While ‘Auto’ will attempt to figure out white balance, exposure and ISO on its own, specific features like ‘HDR’, ‘Landscape’, ‘Close Up’ and ‘Low Light’ are meant to enhance photos for specific scenes. Many of them attempt to manipulate lens sensitivity or exposure levels to provide optimal results, but I found that ‘Auto’ did the best job in most scenarios.</div>

The camera UI has been largely overhauled to give you as much viewing area as possible for a given photo. There are no longer separate still photo and video modes; instead the recorder button is just below the main shutter, and can be activated at any time. When shooting 1080p video it is now possible to capture 5MP stills, something the Galaxy Nexus can boast of only at much lower quality.</div>

The 1MP front-facing camera is good, but no better than the majority of its competition, while 1080p video is of high quality, but lacks effective image stabilization (despite the feature being present). There is plenty of detail in the video, and colours are deep and rich; the sensor also adjusts to light very quickly. But I found there to be a distinct shakiness to whatever I captured, exposing its smartphone roots. Samsung and Apple seem to have done a better job with image stabilization on the iPhone 4S and Galaxy S2 respectively, and I hope HTC figures out a way to improve it, since all the other aspects are there.</div>

HTC has added the ability to auto-upload photos to Flickr or Facebook, alongside Dropbox’s native Camera Upload feature that is enabled by default. You can also sign into Microsoft’s Skydrive to access existing photos from the service, alongside mainstays like Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, Picasa and Google+. The integration with the native Gallery app is seamless and fast, making it a standout feature against native Android Ice Cream Sandwich, which does not offer nearly the same number of integrated services.</div>

Sense 4.0 is, simply, a pared-down and de-bloated version of what HTC brought with the Sensation and Amaze. Its customizable dock, 2D floating widgets and vastly improved performance make the experience significantly better, and I have to commend them on creating one of the finest Android user experiences around.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Much of this fette is owed to Android 4.0, which is inherently more beautiful, intuitive and capable than Gingerbread. HTC has adopted the ICS method of creating folders and swiping away individual notifications, along with a horizontal app drawer and improved method of adding widgets to the home screen.</div>

But there are areas within the operating system that they have either changed for change’s sake, or the improvements are so minute as to be inexplicable.</div>

For example, the new multitasking menu, while seemingly more intuitive than the vertically-scrolling default ICS version, is ultimately finicky. Like on Windows Phone, the large 3D snapshots of your previously-used apps are arrayed in order of most- to least-recently used. You can flick upwards to end the process — the same as the horizontal motion in stock ICS — which is quite convenient. But the whole endeavour seems needlessly ostentatious, and is certainly no improvement over the very natural-feeling method in stock ICS. Even the One V, which is HTC’s low-end entry in the One Series, maintains the vertical multitasking menu in Sense 4.0.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The keyboard, too, has been embiggened, with endlessly tall letters and permanent directional arrows that seem to be of little use to the regular user. Depending on the app, the directional arrows will be present if there is no legacy menu button, though at other times they will show up even if the menu button is in use, as with the Facebook app. This results in the keyboard letters being disproportionately high on the screen.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As always, HTC’s built-in autocorrect is excellent, often more intuitive than Google’s own ICS keyboard. But whereas Google made the space bar wide enough to mitigate accidental presses of the buttons on either side, HTC’s keyboard is not quite as lucky. Options to remove the directional arrows or increase the width of the space bar should be present but aren’t, ensuring that many users will go as quickly as possible to Google Play for SwiftKey X or Smart Keyboard Pro. For those who prefer to “Swype,” HTC has included a Trace feature that works much like the aforementioned newly-acquired namesake, but comes off as less functional overall.</div>

Beyond those two annoyances, I’ve found Sense 4.0 — at least running on the One X, we’ll see about the One S and One V — to be the second best Android experience I’ve had next to the Galaxy Nexus and stock Ice Cream Sandwich. Why doesn’t it quite match up to the fantastic precedent set by AOSP Android? Because there are too many inconsistencies within the various apps to be overlooked. While on stock Android you select, copy and paste text the same way throughout the OS, Sense 4.0 incorporates elements of its unique (and quite intuitive, I must say) Sense style of copying and pasting, only to fall back to the stock ICS method on certain occasions.</div>

Some potential buyers of the One X are going to be put off by the now-standard 16GB of internal storage with no option to expand. Apple offers its iPhone in 16, 32 and 64GB versions, each $100 more than the last. But HTC has two models, a 16GB LTE version for North America , and a 32GB HSPA+ model for the rest of the world. It’s difficult to understand why they chose to cut in half the user storage, but it leaves users with few options but to stream more media content, since there is just over 9GB usable SD storage space, alongside 2GB for apps. HTC tries to mitigate the problem somewhat by extending a user’s Dropbox storage to 25GB (from the default free 2GB), and while music can be streamed from the service, the same can’t be said for other forms of media.</div>

App load times, scrolling through lists, looking at photos and watching videos, browsing the web — basically anything you’d think of doing on a smartphone today — is demonstrably faster on the One X. Not only faster, but better. And as soon as developers figure out their issues with HTC’s legacy menu button, my other knock against the design of the One X will be made moot.</div>

HTC has included a fair number of “stock” apps for your perusal, though few of them deserve more than a passing mention. As always, the Clock app, which opens when you touch the gorgeous new clock ticker widget on the main home screen, is a stunning piece of engineering. Now with a manipulable 3D globe looks fantastic on the high res screen, you can add up to 10 cities to your roster, and set alarms, a stopwatch and a timer. The Clock app, along with HTC Watch, is an example of an app that HTC put a lot of care and thought into.</div>

HTC’s Car Mode app is extremely functional and attractive. With the optional car dock, the ability to hook into music, internet radio, navigation or to make a phone call, will be an often-used feature for most drivers.</div>

As usual, Rogers includes its own melange of bloatware, but the One X has the advantage of being able to disable any app from within the App Manager. While this doesn’t actually uninstall the app (if it takes up space, it continues to do so) it does “disappear” the icon and all associated relationships with other apps. This is as good as you’re going to get in this day and age and something we appreciate HTC allowing users to do — we’ll see if Samsung follows suit.</div>

The HTC One X boasts some of the fastest overall speeds from any phone we’ve ever used, be it zipping around homescreens or downloading large files. This is owed to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 processor with its integrated LTE baseband. As we showed you during the Hands-On, the One X is capable of some incredibly high speeds on the Rogers network, and it’s the first LTE device I’ve used where I felt like the CPU could finally keep up with the downloads.</div>

We were consistently able to get over 25Mbps both download and upload over the Rogers network, and when falling back to 4G in areas without LTE, the speeds were a very manageable 3-5Mbps down and 1-2Mbps up. As LTE expands across Canada, I’m excited for more Canadians to experience it — the difference is truly astounding, and you won’t want to go back.</div>

As for call quality, the One X is definitely middle-of-the-road. Call volume was excellent from both the headpiece and the rear speaker, but there were times when those on the other end sounded hollow, almost like they were talking into a can. This wasn’t always the case — it depended on the connection and the recipient’s phone — but I’d love to see HTC take a more serious stance on this in future devices.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reception also seemed to be an issue, especially in areas with weak LTE signals. The device would vacillate between one bar of LTE and five of HSPA+, but the handover disrupted downloads and caused web pages to stop loading. After a couple seconds, all activity would resume once again, but in certain pockets of the GTA I had to manually turn off LTE to keep the device from attempting to gain, and promptly lose, a signal.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I also found that the One X had trouble holding onto a LTE signal where the new iPad, my only other LTE-capable device on hand, had no issues maintaining two bars. This is likely due to the larger antenna system in the iPad, but also speaks to whether the One X baseband is optimized for the Rogers network.</div>

The Beats Audio integration is very cool, but certainly more a marketing vehicle than a true revolution in sound. I’ve demoed the One X with the very expensive Beats Studio headphones, and I’ll be honest when saying it was one of the truly best listening experiences I’ve had on a mobile device. That’s because HTC has included equalizer settings for the majority of the Beats line-up to match each can’s particular aural signature.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the sheen wears off quickly when you plug in your own likely cheaper pair of headphones to discover that, despite the ability to use Beats with any set and in any app, the improvements are only as good as the quality of the equipment. The default “Other headphones” setting tends to compress the dynamic range, increasing low-end frequencies such as bass while decreasing the harsh sibilant treble range. This has the effect of making rock and rap music sound louder and punchier, but for any other genre of music that isn’t already heavily compressed in that range it sounds muddy and dull. In short, bad headphones will sound bad.</div>

The One X is Canada’s first smartphone with Beats integration, and for the likely thousands of young folks already with a pair of Beats headphones, the combination will be music nirvana. For everyone else, not so much.</div>

For the first smartphone with integrated LTE, I had high hopes for the One X’s battery life, and for the most part it delivers. For the first few days, when I was heavily testing the One X, the battery lasted between seven and nine hours. On one day I turned off LTE and it lasted nearly 15 hours on a single charge.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With “regular” use the One X is going to be fine for battery life. That’s not to say integrated LTE negates the relatively higher battery drain but it certainly improves upon it. With battery tests certain things must be taken into account: the strength of the signal, the brightness of the screen, and most importantly how many things are updating in the background.</div>

This is impossible behaviour on iOS and Windows Phone (with a few exceptions) but it requires the user to be prudent in monitoring which apps are updating in the background and adjusting their frequency accordingly.</div>

HTC assured me that the ultra-efficient 28nm Snapdragon S4 chip would have no trouble lasting an entire day, which I took to mean from the time I take the phone off the charger in the morning until I go to sleep. As much as I tried, with LTE enabled this doesn’t seem possible. Let’s say I take the phone off the charger before I leave for work at 8:30am. Nine hours of uptime, with “regular” use, would deplete the battery by 5:30pm. Disabling LTE would add an extra five or six hours to that tally, bringing us to 10:30 or 11:30pm, more than enough time to get home after a busy day and plug in the phone.</div>

As I said earlier, if HTC adjusted the Automatic Brightness setting to be a bit more conservative, some juice could be saved that way.</div>

In order to test the One X under the most trying of circumstances, I played a 1080p video on loop until the phone almost died. Sound was off, but LTE was left turned on.

This is a tremendously powerful, intuitive and functional smartphone. Forget that it’s Android for a moment. Look at it from a user experience perspective: this is one of few smartphones that you can just pick up and use without having to fiddle with settings, widgets and apps. The out-of-the-box usability is better than any other Android phone in recent memory. Add the fact that the Android app ecosystem is strengthening every day — no app vendor can ignore the 300+ million devices out there — and you have an extremely viable content consumption device. From Google Play (apps, books, movies) to HTC Watch to Rdio to 7Digital to Netflix, the choices are varied and welcome.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
Its problems are minor, and its potential huge. As soon as HTC allows users to unlock the device’s bootloader, thousands of developers are going to go crazy over the prospect of building custom ROMs for the One X. Throughout my time with the device I experienced no app crashes, minimal slowdown and, despite the eyesore legacy menu button, it rarely got in its own way.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
While its size may be too much for some users, the One X has the screen, the speed and the network to justify its cost. As long as HTC doesn’t linger too long in updating the device to the next version of Android, this could be the first Android device in a long time I’d gladly sign a three-year term for.</div>

<b>Introducing the BlackBerry TK Victory {concept}.</b><br />While numerous concepts have been submitted, none have touch on the more realistic approach to the real world of usage and handling like how the TK Victory is about to. Designed for everyone in mind, from suits to skirts, to overalls to hardhats, the TK Victory, the first qwerty BlackBerry 10 powered true superphone.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Corning makes its debut with the introduction of Lotus Glass on the beautiful curved wrap around 3.5" screen showing vivid high-res colours supported by QDEF technology from Nanosys. Taking notes from the BlackBerry PlayBook, away with the trackpad and physical front keys, the removal is replaced by software-based keys with a smaller swipe bezel on all four sides. Standing tall at 119x66mm with a new depth of an astonishing 8.5mm weighing 130g the Victory is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-core 2.0GHz Grey ARM Cortex MPCore with vSMP allowing ease with multi-tasking, rich graphics, cascades, animated interfaces and menus and more. Equipped not just for media, the 32GB on-board storage holds plenty for your choosing (encrypted email and files partitioning option), but the 2GB iRAM (independent RAM) is the bonus that will help run your Victory to its full capacity.</div>

Bringing back the dual LED notifications from the TK1.5 Titan {concept} allow designation of Bluetooth-connected devices to blink connectivity on their own with messages occupying the second. The Victory introduces the front-facing camera with an output of 8MP with call-to-call and Skype options with a 12 MP (3300 x 2484 pixels) rear camera Carl Zeiss optics, optical sensor, autofocus, dual LED Xenon flash shooting video at 1080p HD @30fps featuring 5x loseless digital zoom, video stabilization, simultaneous HD video and image recording.</div>

Designed to be the one phone you will need, the TK Victory is jam packed with goodies. Using the Apple designed nano-SIM, LTE is on-board along with being both GSM and CDMA. Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi n/g/ac will keep you connected to devices and networks. Wi-Fi Auto-spot is the new Hotspot locator and saver on the battery. DLNA Certified means you will be able to stream, copy, share, and backup your Victory without the mess of wires. Built-in NFC with built-in software support from ISIS, Iris, and HID Global will gain you access with your device to authorised entries.</div>

Audio should never sound muffled! The now visible microphone below the keyboard supports voice output feedback along the noise cancellation. Located to the sides, (and this is kick-ass) the re-located dual speakers letting you lay your device flat on the face or back no matter the surface. Useful for speakerphone mode, while driving, conference calls, or just some awesome music and video playback. The complete back has been fitted with a rubberised coating with micro-beads to the left and right ensuring that a slip never happens again. Making power management that much easier, the TK Victory is complete with a single Lock/Power key to maintain a days plus worth of communication, fun, and of course work. And to help you along through the day the TK Victory is accompanied with a 1950mAh li-ion battery.</div>

Apple just doesn’t think the Clock app looks good on the big screen. Luckily for us, however, App Store developers don’t share that belief. In fact, the developers of Night Stand for iPad show just exactly how to do it right.</div>

Night Stand for iPad is so much more than a basic alarm clock. In addition to the time on the main, rather gorgeous, display, you can also see the date and current weather conditions. There are also four widgets that can be enabled at the bottom of the screen for Twitter, Facebook, RSS, and Weather.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Behind the main clock, Night Stand for iPad will play through your defined slideshow. It comes preinstalled with beautiful videos and has more available for purchase. Each movie series is $0.99, or you can buy all four series for $1.99. If you prefer a slideshow of still images, Night Stand for iPad also includes 3 beautiful images with more available for purchase. You can also have a slideshow of your own images if you prefer. The interval times for your slideshows can be anywhere from 1-60 minutes.</div>

Sliding your finger up and down the main screen will adjust the screen brightness and flicking left and right will hide and show the clock display.</div>

The Twitter and Facebook widgets let you view recent posts and status updates from their respective social networks. Tapping one of the posts will popup a built-in browser and displays how that post looks on the web. If you want to reply, like, or comment, you’ll need to login to the social network in that browser. To the left of each of the widgets, you’ll find the button that lets you tweet or post to Facebook.</div>

The RSS widget is tied to Google Reeder and displays recent posts from your feed. Tapping on a post will also slide up the article in a nice, stripped-down, easy to read view. To view the article in safari, tap “Full Article”.</div>

The alarm clock lets you add multiple alarms seth with custom repetitions, similar to the iPhone’s alarm clock. Night Stand for iPad includes 9 alarm sounds, many of which are actually very load, alarming, and annoying. I mean, seriously, who wants to wake up every morning to the sound of a smoke alarm going off? (Immediately after typing that sentence, my husband piped up that he loves the annoying sounds for an alarm, so apparently some people <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">do</em> like them). Many people actually prefer waking up to music, so Night Stand allows you to add music stored on your iPad to wake up to. However, if you want to wake up to music, you have to make sure Night Stand is actually running on your iPad overnight. Otherwise, Night Stand will send a notification to wake you up instead.</div>

In the alarm settings menu, you’ll find the options to shuffle your selected music, the duration of snooze, and if you want the alarm sound or music that you chose to fade in over time, so as to not startle you awake. The durations range between 6 seconds to 30 minutes.</div>

Night Stand is a gorgeous alarm clock for your iPad. I love how it isn’t just a clock, but a host for all the things I like to check before rolling out of bed. I used to use my iPhone as my alarm clock, but with the discovery of Night Stand, my iPad will be playing that roll from now on instead.</div>
