So I finally got my hands on an HTC Snap cell phone to try out, and it was kind of a surprise to me. Despite the fact that the thing LOOKED like a Blackberry, it actually offered a much better control scheme, as far as I was concerned. But that wasn’t all it offered. The HTC Snap comes with a Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor with Windows Mobile 6.1. It has a hundred and ninety two megs of onboard memory, and a 2.4 inch LCD display. It comes with a trackball and a full QWERTY keyboard, bluetooth connectivity, Wi-fi, a two megapixel camera, support for a variety of different audio and video formats, and a battery that offers a maximum of five hours of talk time on a single charge

Nokia Siemens Networks and LG Electronics have achieved an LTE downlink data transfer rate of 100 Mbps, the maximum speed for a Class 3 LTE terminal. The call was made using Nokia Siemens Networks’ LTE radio equipment including the Flexi Multiradio Base Station, its Evolved Packet Core network elements and standards-compliant software along with a pre-commercial LTE USB modem from LG. The speed record comes after the announcement from November 2009, when the two companies were the first to complete end-to-end LTE interoperability tests in the 2100 MHz frequency band.

Some 41 percent of the 892 readers who took a separate poll said the tablet did not live up to its hype, though they expect it to find a home among high-end consumers

It’s too early to say whether Natal will be a hit — too early to really even say if it works or not, really — but we know it’s captured the imaginations of gamers and developers alike. But apparently it didn’t impress Nintendo when they were (allegedly) pitched with an early version of the tech back in 2007 . To be fair, it was in a rougher state than we have seen it, and of course Nintendo already had a working motion control technology and another in the works.

When Steve Jobs said Apple’s new iPad tablet would have 3G data service from AT&T during Wednesday’s press conference, sighs of disgust could be heard from the audience, presumably from disgruntled iPhone customers. Prior to the unveiling of the 9.7-inch device Wednesday, a few vague rumors suggested Verizon would carry the tablet. Instead, Jobs announced two versions of the iPad: a Wi-Fi only model and an unlocked, Wi-Fi + 3G model for use on GSM networks

We love the iPhone book-reading app Classics, and apparently Apple does, too. The iPad tablet includes an app called iBooks, and its similarities to Classics are beyond the realm of coincidence. The UI is the same idea: a shelf of books that you can tap to choose a title.

The Ultio Pro supports pretty much every media file format I can think of, including WMA, MKV, and ISO files.

For those serious Twitter addicts, you can pick up these Ramblers, which will sound off with a custom tweet with every step you take! Yes, you would have to be a very serious tweet-addict to want these, hence my headline. I’m talking about a tweet-addict who needs to go through some sort of 12-step program. I’m not certain if this is a joke, because these shoes would have to have some sort of permanent wireless connection to do this tweeting on every step.
