Samsung has finally announced their latest incarnation, the S4 and I must say, I'm extremely disappointed. The number thing I really hate is the design/look - it looks exactly like the S3/Note 2. I have never cared for how "plastic" the overall feel of the Samsung phones were, but there is no doubt they have been the best smartphone in 2012. In addition to...

I just got an email from Leap Motion saying they expect to ship the device beginning May 13. I had forgot I had even pre-ordered this very cool device sometime last year. In case you don't know what it is, Leap Motion is a peripheral you connect to your computer that allows it to recognize hand gestures. You can swipe in mid-air, pinch, draw,...

Asus was the maker behind the very good Nexus 7 (which I enjoyed using) and it's good to see their next 7" tablet. The Fonepad is Asus' next 7" and it looks good. In addition to a better screen (HD IPS panel of 1280x800), the Fonepad has a nice metallic finish and more importantly, offers voice capability. Asus says it offers 'Full 3G Phone'...

HTC has announced their new flagship smartphone for the year, the HTC One. The specs are quite impressive: Full HD 1080p 4.7" screen (468 ppi), Quad-core Snapdragon, 4G LTE, and perhaps the most compelling feature, an "ultrapixel" camera. HTC spends in great detail an explanation of this process. While the camera takes just 4MP photos, they claim it can let in 3x more light as...

While the world is still mesmerized with the launch of the iPhone 5, Samsung is almost quietly set to launch the Galaxy Note II this week. I only accidently stumbled upon the launch of the Note II on the Samsung website. So I decided to go by the store and have a look. There is no demo model or even a plastic mock-up version of...

Nikon has announced the most affordable full-frame DSLR yet, the D600. Priced at US$2099.95 for the Body only, this camera brings a smaller, lighter, and definitely more affordable full-frame sensor to the masses. Very similar in size to the D7000, the D600 offers many of the same features as its bigger brother the recently launched D800. Although the D800 sports a bigger 36.3MP sensor,...

After weeks of speculation, the official iPhone 5 specs are out. Most of the early rumors were right. A 4" Retina display is the most obvious improvement. I'm sort of disappointed with that. I do wish Apple went larger. Most of us are using larger Android screens and I would have liked to have seen at least a 4.3" screen. This is driven...

Sony has announced the RX1, a full frame compact digital camera. With a full frame sensor, the camera puts out a massive 24.3MP resolution. Coupled with a fixed Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 lens, the images from the camera should be outstanding. The camera can take up to 25,600 ISO images. I'm sure the images will be quite stunning. The camera sports a nice 3"...

Sony has announced a stunning 84" 4k TV. That's four times the resolution of full HD TVs today. I don't know what that's going to look like but it sounds awesome. On the Sony website, they even announced a few really cool features which I thought were amazing, like the ability to play 2-player games without split screen (you wear 3D glasses and each...
