Huawei is sporting this as one of the thinnest smartphones around. Coming in at just 7.6mm thin it is extremely sleek and stylus, although their P1-S will be the “world’s thinnest smartphone” according to Huawei. This phone might not be at the absolute top of the pack but still comes in quite decent. Under the hood is a 1.5 GHz dual-core TI OMAP4460 processor, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, while up-front is a 4.3-inch 960 x 540 Super AMOLED display. The screen isn’t HD but you’d hardly tell from looking at its crisp and vivid colors.

The specs aren’t the best but they aren’t too shabby either. Huawei’s tossed in an 8 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and a 1.3 front shooter for self portraits and more. They’ve opted for capacitive touch buttons with ICS instead of the on-screen buttons with the Galaxy Nexus. Overall our first impressions are quite favorable. Huawei hasn’t always made the best hardware but this is a step in the right direction for sure. While still having a cheap Samsung-like design the phone feels solid and durable in the hand. For now check out the unboxing video and pictures below and expect a full Android Community review in the coming days.

LG’s new LTE2 is aiming directly for Samsung’s Galaxy S III. It features extremely impressive specs, a brilliant and beautiful display, and will be equipped with 4G LTE — something not all Galaxy S III’s can say. The screen is a tiny bit smaller than the Galaxy S III, coming in at 4.7-inches just like the HTC One X, but it’s a True HD IPS display that looks gorgeous and plenty more going for it. Check out the video then we’ll break down the specs:

One of the biggest points with the LTE2 is the fact they’ve managed to squeeze 2GB of RAM into this phone — talk about laptop type power. The full specs are a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 True HD IPS display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor with 4G LTE integration for Korea, that huge 2GB memory spec (but sadly phone uses almost 1GB on idle), 16GB internal storage, standard built-in wireless charging capabilities, an 8 megapixel camera with voice actions, and a huge 2,150 mAh battery for all day battery life.

As we mentioned above, the 8 megapixel camera takes full 1080p video but while in camera mode LG’s added simple voice commands. While on camera simply say “kimchi” (Korea) and the LTE2 will start capturing video, or snap a picture all hands free — it’s just that simple.

It also has Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC capability for Android 4.0 ICS Beam which also supports LG Tag+ we detailed here. The display is truly impressive and the build quality seems improved from recent LG devices. The back has a soft-touch texture that almost feels like a fabric and is extremely easy to hold, and again works with the wireless charging option as shown in the gallery below.

For now this powerhouse top-tier Android 4.0 ICS smartphone by LG is only hitting Korea, and will be available later this month. Enjoy the rest of the photos from the gallery below.

The Tab 2 10-inch was rumored to be delayed in favor of a quad-core processor but that wasn’t the case. Instead Samsung has opted for a cheaper 1.0 GHz dual-core processor (not a Tegra 2 like the original Tab 10) but instead a Texas Instruments dual-core chip. Don’t worry though folks, it performs great and is being offered at a friendly price starting at $399 for the 16GB model. We’ll start with the hands-on and tour video below then dig into the details.

Hardware
With the new Tab 2 the hardware has seen a few design and internal changes but for the most part is very similar to the original Galaxy Tab 10 from Samsung last year. What you’ll get here is a different processor, a sleek design, better speaker placements and a lower price point. Like mentioned above, under the hood is a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and it comes with 16GB of internal storage. However Samsung did provide a micro-sd slot for additional storage. Then we have the usual 3 megapixel camera on the rear, and a 1.3 front for video chatting and self portraits.

Samsung has taken what they learned from the first 10-inch model, their recently released Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE, and the smaller Tab 7 and added everything into one. Gone is the cheap feeling plastic back and instead we have a brushed aluminum designed plastic back that feels very durable. Then they’ve added the SD slot, and the Infrared port from the older 7-inch model for controlling your home theater or TV.

All of the controls are actually up top with nothing on either side of the slate. We have from left to right the power and wake button, volume up/down, micro-SD slot, Infrared eye, and the 3.5mm headphone jack. The front half has a dark grey shiny aluminum while the back keeps that brushed rugged and durable look. I’m actually a total fan of this latest model and it might be my favorite Galaxy Tab to date.

I’ve always hated the rear or bottom facing speakers on tablets, especially if there’s only one like the Transformer Prime. The new Galaxy Tab’s have been improved and offer a pair of front facing stereo speakers. The new Galaxy Tab 2 10-inch model we have here today by far has the best audio of any tablet I’ve tested to date. They are clear, crisp, and get extremely loud. Not only that but you don’t have to worry about your hand covering them up during use. This makes the tablet much easier to hold, gaming is loud and exciting, and streaming Netflix (which comes pre-installed) is better than ever.

The 10-inch screen is still only 1280 x 800 like most tablets available, and isn’t AMOLED but sure is bright, vivid, and seems to have similar viewing angles to most Samsung tablets. Their displays are never much of an issue anyways and always are good quality with Sammy. The lightweight design also doesn’t add any weight over the first Tab 10, and it’s much lighter than the heavy quad-core ASUS Transformer Prime.

Software
Samsung has released these tablets with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the OS. With their own tablet-optimized version of TouchWiz over the top that offers impressive widgets, screenshot features with edit mode, and a new keyboard that is actually really nice to type on compared to the stock ICS tablet keyboard. The changes are lightweight and performance remains strong and usage is swift.

Like mentioned above, Samsung appears to be going for a cheaper consumption device here and will be targeting the high range with the 10-inch note. The Galaxy Tab 2 comes pre-loaded with tons of media apps such as Samsung Music Hub, Music Player, a custom video player, Netflix, a photo and video editor, as well as Peel smart remote to use the Infrared. Clearly this is all about consuming media with this WiFi tablet and so far I’ve done plenty of that. Playing games and watching movies is awesome with the improved speakers up front.

Performance
Being only a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor this is actually one of the lower spec’d devices released in the past 6 months in the dual-core category. With everything lately coming with 1.2 or 1.5 GHz dual-cores or higher at first we questioned Samsung’s choice. After using this for the past week I can safely say so far I don’t miss the speeds. Usage is solid, performance is great for movies, games like Grand Theft Auto III and more. Sadly we can’t access those TegraZone THD games because they’ve moved from NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 to a Texas Instruments processor, but most games are still available in the Google Play Store.

Obviously you can see where she lies in regards to benchmark tests such as AnTuTu. With many devices including the quad-core ASUS Transformer Prime blowing past its results, but that was sort of expected. Only scoring 3000 in Quadrant this is hardly an improvement over the original, more of an additional option for those in the market. Needless to say, from my video above you can clearly see performance is still stellar even though benchmark results are low. For $399 this tablet rocks.

Camera and Battery life
With the new Tab 2 the camera isn’t anything great, just like all of Samsung’s tablets. I guess they don’t see a need to offer a better camera and the Tab 2 comes with the same 3.2 megapixel camera all the others have. Their smartphones have excellent cameras but tablets are another story. I’d hardly consider this a con though, as I rarely if ever take pictures with my tablet. Below is a few pictures for those curious on the performance. As long as you have enough light it will take a few pictures with ease that are worthy of Facebook and the likes.

Battery life however is pretty awesome. Samsung’s equipped this slate with a 7,100 mAh battery and I’ve manged to get nearly 3 days of casual usage from a single charge. While usage will vary from user to user this is on par if not better than most tablets on the market — as long as you don’t watch Netflix for 6 hours a day.

Wrap-Up
From the media apps and widgets, Netflix, Peel Smart Remote and more it’s clear that this tablet is made to play and enjoy media. Offering hardly any difference over the original other than mainly the speakers and Ice Cream Sandwich coming stock — this tablet is about the same. I’d say I was disappointed with how similar they are but I’m not. For the price they’ll be asking ($399) this is an great tablet experience. The hardware is excellent, build quality is top notch and creak free, and it comes with the latest Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

If you were wanting or expecting a powerhouse Ice Cream Sandwich tablet or gaming machine the Galaxy Note 10.1 will be their flagship quad-core tablet once it’s made available later this summer. If you don’t want to wait, for the price point your options are this tablet or the Transformer Pad TF300. It does offer a quad-core processor but it’s not as premium feeling, has a plastic design, and isn’t as thin and beautiful. If you want the work horse the TF300 is for you, if you’d like a thin and awesome overall experience the new Galaxy Tab 2 10-inch from Samsung is worth a look.

The Lava XOLO is Intel’s first production Android smartphone that is available on the actual mobile market. Being released on April 23rd across India. The phone has pretty decent specs but now that blazing fast dual-core and quad-core phones are out Intel might be slightly behind the curve again. The XOLO features a 4.03-inch 1024 x 600 resolution display, and of course the Intel Medfield 1.6 GHz dual-core Atom Z2460 processor with 1GB of RAM along with a pretty decent 8 megapixel camera. Sadly it runs on Gingerbread and not Ice Cream Sandwich and here’s a quick look:

Along with micro-SD, micro HDMI, 16GB of internal storage and a 1.3 front shooter for those self portraits the phone is pretty well equipped. Intel’s processor doesn’t quite reach levels that Qualcomm’s new S4 does in the HTC One S, but it speeds the Gingerbread OS along quite fine as you saw above. They phone had a very candy bar and square design — safe to say the least. Get Ice Cream Sandwich on this, which we here is coming soon and this phone will be plenty decent for a mid-ranged price. Sadly it will never be released stateside for those wanting to get in the Intel-powered action. Expect more things from Intel soon though as we’ve seen reports of a Motorola phone with ICS on the way.

Additionally check out the Intel powered phone running on Quadrant on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in this quick video

The details or specs should already be known by many but just in case here is another rundown. HTC’s equipped it with a 4.7-inch 720×1280 SLCD2 HD display, a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a micro-SD slot for expanded storage (unlike some others), their impressive 8 megapixel camera and HTC Imagechip processor for enhanced photos and more. The phone comes in slightly thinner than the HTC One X on AT&T, gets micro-SD access, and even has that awesome kickstand those EVO users require.

Thanks to the folks from HTC while attending CTIA in New Orleans they took us on a 2 hour tour of the city. This was to enjoy the scenery, the smells, as well as show off the impressive 8 megapixel camera and HTC’s proprietary Imagechip processor and ImageSense technology inside the new HTC One and EVO 4G LTE. Below are tons of sample photos snapped with the new EVO 4G LTE, including 1080p video, panoramic shots, and a few HDR’s.

The EVO 4G LTE is the third device to launch with 4G LTE for the carrier, and this is isn’t Verizon or AT&T. The Now Network is a little late to the LTE party, just like T-Mobile, but hope to catch up with AT&T and possibly Verizon in 2013. While we can’t test those capabilities just yet, we’ll be sure to rundown everything else in our full review as we enjoy the new EVO 4G LTE over the next week or so. For now just know that the phone is awesome, the screen is vivid and beautiful, the camera freakin rocks, and the kickstand is pretty nice too. Check out all the photos from the gallery below.

Disregard the tour guide audio in the background

Note: Some photos were taken from a moving tour bus traveling at high speeds and the shutter speeds worked wonders. Also the two night trolley photos were snapped regular, and one with HTC’s low-light settings to enhance brightness. Enjoy my quick and small tour of New Orleans through the lens of the HTC EVO 4G LTE.

SwiftKey is something we’ve covered extensively here at AC, and you can read more about their impressive new SwiftKey 3 beta in our initial hands-on. Their current offering SwiftKey X is great, but the new version 3 makes it even better with a refreshed and impressive new UI, better predictive text, and the Smart Space is awesome and a selling point for me in itself. Here at CTIA along with the CMO of SwiftKey we also had a few minutes to talk to Evan Tapper, the community manager over at the VIP forums. He’s been the one reading all your comments (giving back the comma button) and adding all the changes that the VIP beta members have requested.

SwiftKey has a strong beta and VIP following with well over 60,000 members, and your valuable feedback has helped SwiftKey grow into the third iteration we see today, and one of Google Play’s editor picks for best apps. The newest beta released last week introduced tons of user feedback improvements, tweaks, and changes — and they promise us they’ll continue to add as much as possible from the feedback they’ve received.

The new smart punctuation button next to the spacebar for example, is an awesome way to quickly toggle different punctuation as needed but many are complaining about needing to long press for the options. If you have the new SwiftKey 3 beta you’ll be glad to know that just sliding your finger will enable the smart punctuation feature for your selection. SwiftKey also plans to add a quick gesture left or right to pick the most often selected punctuation based on the user in a future release.

All these awesome features, new features in development and more are all what make SwiftKey X and the new SwiftKey 3 one of the best and most popular 3rd party keyboards available for Android phones and tablets. With tons of money from investors, a community of over 60,000 users, and a dedicated team that is working to make the best product possible for their users.

We can expect to see SwiftKey 3 for phones and tablets leave beta and arrive in the Google Play Store soon. IF you’d rather not wait feel free to hit the VIP forum link above and sign up for your own free copy of the keyboard, and enjoy the VIP community yourself.

While HTC didn’t brand this a ONE device like the One X or One S, you’ll get nearly the same specs as the top-tier One X here with the Now Network. The EVO 4G LTE comes with a 4.7-inch IPS SLCD2 display with a 1280 x 720p HD resolution. Under the hood is the impressive Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Krait 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. One difference from the others is the EVO 4G LTE has a micro-SD slot for expanded storage unlike some of the others from HTC.

You’ll get the same impressive 8 megapixel rear camera with HTC’s Imagesense chip for enhanced photos, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC’s Sense user interface changes as well. Just like the One X sadly the EVO’s battery will not be user accessible or replaceable, but does come in at 2,000 mAh and should hopefully last plenty long — even on 4G LTE.

Pre-orders for the new EVO 4G LTE started yesterday, and it should be available come May 18th from the Now Network for those interested.

It’s not quite an HTC One device but you can hardly tell a difference, other than the fact they’ve gone with their traditional DROID branding. The Incredible 4G LTE is as close to the new HTC One S as you’ll get on Big Red for now. Coming equipped with very similar specs — not counting the slightly smaller screen the Incredible 4G LTE looks to be an appealing and great all around smartphone.

Hands-on with the DROID Incredible 4G LTE:

DROID Incredible 4G LTE Benchmark and HTC One S comparisons:

The new DROID Incredible 4G LTE comes with a 4.0-inch qHD display, the same size as the previous generation, but sadly didn’t get improved to an HD resolution. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense UI 4.0, the same fast and capable 1.2 Ghz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM and a powerful 8 megapixel rear facing camera — albeit without the custom HTC Imagechip sensor for enhanced photos like the One series has.

A few important facts compared to HTC’s other recent offerings is the Incredible 4G LTE comes with a removable and user accessable battery, and micro-SD support for expanded storage. An issue that is seeing many complaints on the just released HTC One X on AT&T. Overall the phone feels very solid, and if you’ve ever used an Incredible or the HTC Rezound you’ll feel right at home.

Earlier today we detailed all the new accessories as Samsung showed them live, and now we have some hands-on pictures. First is the Wireless Charging Kit that was rumored a while back. Obviously you’ll need the special battery door backplate and the dock to wirelessly charge the phone, but that will be a great option for those looking to cut down on cords. Original reports suggested this would be a standard feature on all SGSIII’s but according to Samsung will be optional and an extra purchase.

Then we have the less exciting flip cover case, and the stand up “vertical charging dock” where users can sit the phone upright for viewing or charging — and again — no wires here either. Then we have AllCast Share and the HDMI adapter. Samsung will provide an adapter that works via the microUSB MHL port for streaming media and sharing homescreens, pictures, and video all to the big screen.

Samsung also lightly detailed a new upcoming MP3 player to compete with the iPod Nano called the S Pebble that will be shaped like a small pebble, run Android, and play MP3′s and such in a small portable package but we’ll have to wait for more details on that front although we were able to snap a few photos. It looks like a pebble huh? Apparently you can upload music to it, and share them directly from the Galaxy S III too. Whether the Pebble will be a standalone device or need a phone companion remains to be seen.

Overall Samsung had a strong showing today, and their accessories look quite decent too. Hopefully they all make it to market because we’re still waiting for some of those neat Galaxy Nexus accessories to this day. If you missed anything you can get every bit of Samsung GSIII news and more from today at our official Galaxy S III Portal.

For those that missed it here is a rundown of the specs. The Galaxy S III will come complete with an amazing 4.8-inch 720×1280 Super AMOLED HD display, a powerful 1.4 GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor (in the UK at least), 1GB of RAM, 16/32/64GB of storage options, an 8 megapixel camera on the rear with zero shutter lag and a 1.9 front camera for video chat. The device is super thin coming in at 8.6mm, weighing less than most phones of this size (133g) and runs on the absolute latest Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and Samsung’s Touch Wiz interface changes.

While the design might not be the revolutionary step many had hoped for, Samsung has brought an impressive device to market and focused on improving their already award winning and top selling design, while enhancing many of the features and things we use day to day. They’ve beefed up the camera and introduced a 20 shot burst-mode, and the SGSIII automatically picks the best photo of the bunch, has face detection so you can easily tag and link photos to contacts, and they added camera mode while recording 1080p video. All of that and more was detailed in the video above, and we have more below.

Then, since we know everyone wants to see it we’ve compared the size, shape, and performance to the other king of the mobile world — the HTC One X and its 4.7-inch display and quad-core Tegra 3 processor in the video provided below.

Along with a great camera comes easy and simple functionality and that is exactly what you’ll get with the Galaxy S III and Samsung’s new S-Voice controls. A new competitor to Apple’s Siri, S-Voice takes the Google voice actions one step further and allows you to set alarms, check the weather, make calls and more — but best of all it can open apps. Siri can’t do that. You can open Google Maps, place a call, start music and more all with your voice using Samsung’s S-Voice integration.

Since rumors are a moot discussion at this point. Here are a few key links regarding the new Samsung Galaxy S III announced earlier today.

Another neat little feature or two you might not have read elsewhere is the SGSIII has Flipboard for Android, an exclusive to the device while they prepare to launch globally for Android. Then there’s this neat facial recognition feature. Not like the facial unlock from the Galaxy Nexus, but where the phone will actually recognize your face while you’re viewing a page, reading an email, or watching a movie and will not dim the screen. If you look away the screen dims to save battery, and stays on when needed so you don’t get interrupted. Neat right?

Now when can you get your own you ask? Well, Samsung has announced the phone will be available globally soon, but it will start off on May 29th in Europe, and May 30th in the UK. What about the US you ask? Samsung made a short statement that both an LTE and a HSPA+ model will be available for the various carriers in the US. That means most likely Verizon and the other two LTE carriers will get an LTE model (probably dual-core sadly) and HSPA+ models for folks on T-Mobile and possibly even a non-LTE model for AT&T. We can expect these phones in the US sometime in June if we are lucky but Samsung only mentioned “summer” for a release window. See everything and more from our Galaxy S III Portal.

Both of these phones are extremely impressive in their own right. Both coming with quad-core processors, impressive 8 megapixel cameras, and huge 720p HD displays. While we don’t have all the details or answers regarding the US models, overseas the HTC One X is powered by NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3, while the Galaxy S III runs with Samsung’s own Exynos 4 Quad processor. These both run at 1.4 GHz and come complete with 1GB of RAM and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We’ll just show you, check out our comparison video for all the info you’d need.

While both phones are almost the same size, and have went with similar capacitive touch buttons rather than on-screen keys like the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S III is actually a hair thinner and about 3 grams heavier — so basically even. While not a big difference, the Galaxy S III comes with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display compared to the barely smaller 4.7-inch screen from camp HTC, and until we get more time with both devices we can’t really comment on display quality as they are both excellent. Both offer 720×1280 HD resolutions and crisp vivid colors.

Once we are able to bring this beautiful Galaxy S III come we’ll be sure and run multiple benchmarks and comparisons to see how well the new Samsung Exynos quad-core handles tasks, but if it’s anything like their previous processors it will be blazing quick. This was just a quick short preview of the two and stay tuned for more in-depth hands-on coming soon.

This will be the first time Flipboard has been available on Android, and Samsung tells us they have an exclusive window on the app, but other phones and devices will get the popular app soon. As for the app, it’s similar to Google Currents only with a better, smoother, more gesture featured interface. The entire magazine feel is ever so present with Flipboard, and it makes complete use of the 4.8-inch 720p HD display on the awesome new Galaxy S III. Just like the iOS version, you can login to your social networks and have links aggregated straight to the app, along with your favorite sites (Android Community and SlashGear), as well as your RSS feeds and more.

The tile interface is simple and easy to use, and once again very beautiful on this impressive AMOLED screen — and will look great on all Android phones of course. Especially those with higher resolution displays. The cover stories in the tiles shown above will be suited to your reading and site habits, making sure you’ll get all the content you love.

As usual with Android, Flipboard has an awesome widget to toss right onto the homescreen of your choice for quick, simple, and easy reading access. You can scroll through and pick you favorite story, then launch the full app just like any widget. From our limited time using the new app we’d say it is very impressive. The pages load and flip smooth and with ease, and the content is HD and looks stunning. So far Flipboard for Android is highly impressive and probably our new favorite reader, but then again the quad-core, Super AMOLED HD packing Galaxy S III might be helping its cause.

Samsung doesn’t have exact details on how long it’ll be a SGSIII exclusive, but we can expect an announcement and more details form Flipboard for Android soon — not to mention the public getting a hold of it and releasing it to the world.

It’s a bigger phone than the Galaxy S II, but it doesn’t feel so huge thanks to slimmer bezels and curved edges. The plastics aren’t as high quality as the HTC One X, but neither are they quite as cheap feeling as before; the coated polycarbonate doesn’t quite live up to Samsung’s “it feels like ceramic” billing but it should help avoid too many scratches.

Performance from the modified Ice Cream Sandwich and new TouchWiz is slick and smooth, with no lag or slow-down observed on the Exynos quadcore. We’ll have to wait for full benchmarking for all the details, but the Galaxy S III could comfortably play an HD video in a floating box above a full webpage, with no impact on zooming or panning.

Samsung Galaxy S III hands-on:

The new camera tweaks work well, particularly the burst photography mode. HTC’s One Series may have rapid capture too, but it lacks the Samsung’s useful automatic suggestion as to which it believes is the best shot. In our experience, we generally agreed with its selection. We had less time to play with the facial recognition linked to social networks in the gallery, though, without our own contacts and images loaded on the phone. According to Samsung, contacts will automatically be recognized and links to Google+ and Facebook floated on top of the frame.

Samsung’s Siri alternative, S-Voice, struggled in a busy briefing room. Much like Siri, it uses server-side processing to do natural voice recognition, opening apps and setting alarms. We managed to coax it into setting an alarm and telling us today’s weather, as well as doing basic searches, but otherwise it proved frustrated by ambient noise.

Overall, though, there’s plenty to like about the Galaxy S III. Samsung had a best-seller on its hands with its predecessor, and we’ve seen nothing to suggest that the Galaxy S III will be any different. Great speed, distinctive looks and a brilliant display that’s perfectly suited to multimedia add up to a fitting flagship.

For now this appears to be more of an extension to Google Docs than an actual complete cloud storage offering. While we can rename files, documents, PDF’s, videos and more and upload them, I’m not seeing options to create folders or anything intuitive like that on the mobile app. Everything I upload goes to one central location, instead of separate area’s like I’d like. With Dropbox I can send documents to a documents folder, video’s to the same, app backups to a backup folder and even create new ones. With Drive it appears to all be in one location unless you use the web interface to add folders and change locations.

For now it seems to mainly be focused on documents, spreadsheets, and photos but most likely more are coming soon. Users get 5GB free cloud storage as we’ve been hearing for weeks now. And existing Google Docs won’t take up any of that 5GB of storage either. Each Gmail gets 5GB free and you can have multiple accounts. Prices on expansion for storage space are as follows: 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or even 1TB for $49.99/month and up to 16TB if you truly need.

With Google Drive you can upload nearly any file, and open and playback/view anything too. I did have a problem with an old video that failed to upload, but that was all. As far as opening it appears that anything it can hold, it can open and I’ve been able to play video, listen to music, open up Inventor project notes and more.

So far I’m really liking the quickness of uploads, the ease of use, and the entire system as a whole but they’ll need to make some quick changes moving forward. This isn’t the top-down full out cloud option many thought it would be, and for now it looks like Dropbox is still safe. We need options for where to send in our Drive, folder support, and more share options but this is a great start.

Announced this morning was the new preview or beta version of Spotify. Lucky for us the folks over there were nice enough to provide us with the new app, and a Premium subscription so we can enjoy countless hours of music from their millions of choices. I have plenty of screenshots for everyone but you’ll want to start with the announcement post above for full details, then enjoy the video.

Obviously you can see right off the back the user interface has received a complete overhaul. Something Spotify is calling a “top-to-bottom” change for the better — and we’d have to agree. So far I’m loving the look and feel of the new Spotify for Android. You’ll have to be a premium user to enjoy the full streaming services, but it’s worth it.

Before their app looked like something from Android 2.2 FroYo back in early 2011 but now it’s fancy, shiny, HD, and works great on high resolution phones and tablets. They’ve added HD album artwork so you now get a full-sized high resolution image, and you can flick to go forward a song just as before. All of the features we know and love from Spotify are still present, it just looks better.

Just like their desktop version you can now sign in and look up friends on Facebook, or regular Spotify account owners. You can check your friends accounts, follow their music habits and get introduced to new and exciting music like never before. I personally love the fact that when you select an artist it shows you their top songs. So you’ll instantly hear classics from great bands, even if you’ve never heard of them.

Spotify has received a full out facelift and so far I’m really digging their new look. Like mentioned above this is a beta preview build only, and they’ll be adding more features like folders and additional options in the final version once it lands on the Google Play Store. The only feature missing from the old app is an Android widget, which I’ve heard will be present in the final version. Stay tuned for more information and check out the screenshots below.

Get all the details, download links, and information from the earlier announcement here.

While you’ll still be waiting for 4G LTE speeds for a little while the phone does come in a great little package, and will get the usual 3G connectivity until LTE hits your city. The Viper isn’t a powerhouse by any means but is definitely a nice mid-range phone coming with good specs, and an even better price tag. The Viper will be available April 22nd for only $99 with a 2-year contract and a $50 mail in rebate.

Build quality is decent. The overall design has an aluminum bezel with a brushed aluminum design on the rear battery cover — although it’s plastic. It gives the phone a quality and top-notch look while remaining lightweight and sturdy. LG’s outfitted the Viper with a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm S3 processor, 1GB of RAM and a 4GB micro-SD card for storage. The rear comes with a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, and you’ll also get a VGA camera around front for video chat. Running on Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread we have a basically stock version of Android, with a few small changes from LG or the carrier.

As you can see from the video above, overall performance was as to be expected with a 4.0″ display and a dual-core processor. The user interface was smooth and stable although it wasn’t completely stock Android. LG has promised Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in an update shortly, but no details on that are available at this time. The phone operates and feels quite nice for my first impressions but an HD screen would have been nice instead of the standard 480 x 800 resolution.

Without WiMAX or LTE the 3G speeds were slower than the competition, barely getting over 1 MB/s downloads here in Las Vegas. 4G LTE can’t come soon enough for this device and the Now Network and hopefully they get the ball rolling soon. Stay tuned for a full review and leave any questions you may have in the comment section below.

The screen on this device is a very basic 3.65 HVGA TFT display, that being 480 x 320 with some pretty obvious pixels to be seen right out of the box. This device does have 8GB of storage inside and has a microSD card slot so you can expand your memory by an additional 32GB if such a thing strikes your fancy. The single-core 1GHz processor isn’t going to light your fire for some of the highest-powered apps and games on the market, but it’ll get the job done for music and movies on the go.

There are two cameras on this device, one VGA on the front for low-res video chat, another 2 megapixel camera on the back for photos and video. You’ll be working with Samsung’s full summer explosion of media sharing and streaming apps including Samsung Smart View, AllShare, and SmartView to connect to your HD Samsung Smart TV. Basically expect this device to wow you as the media controller you’ve always wanted outside the smartphone world.

The device feels solid and hard enough that you wont have the same “this seems fragile” feeling as we did with the Galaxy Player 5.0. Play DivX, WMV, MPEG4, H.264, MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg, and FLAC. THis device will cost you $149.99 if you pick one up from your local electronics store or online this week – and that’s without a contract. For those of you so used to purchasing mobile phones that you forgot that you don’t have to pay for some gadgets month-by-month: it’s inexpensive as possible!

Stay tuned for our full review of this device this week!

Spigen offers accessories for many devices but today we are focusing on the Samsung Galaxy Note. Along with multiple ultra thin cases you’ll see in the video below is their Capsule Series that is a thicker, more sturdy case for added protection. Then we also have the most impressive of their selection in the GLAS.t screen protector. Many covers are cheap, plastic, or other materials that don’t stand the test of time. With the Spigen GLAS.t you actually add an additional layer of strengthened glass to the device for ultimate protection.

The sizes vary but as shown above they are so thin it’s hardly noticeable. for the Galaxy Note this 0.04mm thick hardened glass will go on with ease, and protect that precious 5.3″ screen from damages. If you do manage to get a scratch, it will be on the Spigen and not your actually screen. This is what we’d call a premium screen protector. Check out our hands-on details and installation video below to see just how nice, and simple the GLAS.t really is.

Next up we wanted to share a few of the awesome cases since they were nice enough to send a few other. They have tons of options, types, colors and more that will really cater to anyone’s needs. The Ultra Thin series are $24.99 and come in many different colors are include the usual screen protector (not a GLAS.t) and you can see those in the video.

Then they offer the Capsule series that are slightly thicker and more durable for those harder on their devices, or want that extra protection. The Capsule series is the same price of $24.99 and come in multiple colors. We got white but they also have red, blue, black, glossy black, yellow, and others.

The cases are well built and nicely designed. They fit neatly around all the ports and camera slots and even wrap over the screen enough to add protection should you drop it face first. If you’ve heard of TPU cases than you’ll know what to expect with these. This is a TPU case at its finest. Spigen also offers multiple leather cases as shown in the video below. The Wallet series has slots for credit cards and other things for the business minded individual and start at $44.99. Once I put the phone inside the Leather wallet series I had a hard time getting it out, a good sign that it wont fall out on accident so these are excellent cases.

Overall I was extremely impressed by both the quality, and the feel of all their cases although the fake leather wasn’t my favorite because it slightly makes the device too large. I like my phones as thin as possible and the Ultra Thin series was by far my favorite (and cheapest). If anything from Spigen interests you feel free to check out www.spigen.com to get your own. If you’d like that extra layer of glass protection for the Galaxy Note you can get the Spigen GLAS.t by clicking here.

While we were live in Spain during Mobile World Congress SEGA and NVIDIA both announced that Episode 2 would be coming to Android, although we mentioned this back in December. Following up on the successful first episode we quickly ran over to the NVIDIA booth to get some hands-on with it. The graphics and gameplay looks awesome even though it was suffering while being mirrored to a 65″ HDTV on the wall — but it sure was fun.

With Episode II we get our Tails sidekick back and can enjoy enhanced graphics and gameplay thanks to the quad-core Tegra 3 processor in devices like the Transformer Prime and many upcoming quad-core smartphones. Playing with a wireless Logitech game controller actually gives this a console quality feeling and was extremely impressive. We snapped a few photos of the setup below, as well as an image of the on-screen graphics for an idea of what to expect.

According to SEGA the new Episode II should be available sometime in early April and we will be watching out for more details, and be sure to review it in full once humanly possible.

The folding 10-inch clamshell is undeniably striking: we can say without exaggeration that there’s nothing quite like it on the market. The Tablet P uses two identical 1024×480 screens, which can operate compatible apps independently or combine them for a full 1024×960 screen, nearly a full square. The experience takes some getting used to, even if you’re used to Android’s tablet interface, but after a few minutes any technically-minded person should be able to get around with minimal difficulty.

The Tablet P’s curved sides make maximum use of its internal space, cramming a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 3,080mAh battery into the casing. It’s an attractive design made all the more interesting from a lack of boxy edges, and will slide into a (large) pocket or bag better than any 9 or 10-inch tablet currently on the market. The processor and RAM are more than enough to make Honeycomb zip, though it’s not the smoothest experience we’ve seen. This may be due to some “enhancements” to Android 3.2 on Sony’s part.

Unfortunately there’s no room for more than 4GB of storage space (though you do get a 2GB MicroSD card gratis) or 4G LTE – you’ll have to make due with HSPA+ “4G”, something of a penance considering the $399 on-contract price tag. Sony has already committed to an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade, but between the manufacturer and the carrier it could be quite some time before it materializes.

If you live in Sony’s entertainment world, you’ll appreciate the various included software: the PlayStation store for access to converted PSX titles and other games, plus Sony’s music and movie stores. Of course with access to Google apps and the Android Market, there’s no reason to limit yourself, either. And speaking of software, Sony says that more than 40 third-party apps take advantage of the Tablet P’s unique dual-screen design, including Evernote and News 360.

Build quality is rock-solid and typical of Sony. Those worrying about the moving parts in the hinge needn’t bother. The screen is surprisingly glossy, though; while LCDs are generally better than AMOLED screens at blocking reflection, the coating on the inside of the tablet seems to reflect a lot more light than most. The volume and power buttons on the side of the tablet are tricky, and we wish that it had a MicroUSB charging port instead of the proprietary one sitting on the side, begging you to bring along a second adapter.

You can pick up the Sony Tablet P today from AT&T for $399.99, on a two-year contract or extension. We’ll have a full review up later this week, but check out the unboxing video below in the meantime.
