Motorola may not have been very competitive in the past couple of years, but they did manage to come out with a hit product this year in the form of the Motorola Droid which I personally believe is the best smartphone for 2009. With a decently-sized 3.7-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel AF camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, [...]

The Apple iTablet (aka Macbook Touch, Macbook Nano Touch or whatever else you may call it) is a pretty exciting prospect, but at the end of the day, is still just a rumor.

Verizon wasn’t joking when it claimed the it’s upcoming Motorola Droid Does and the AT&T iPhone is pretty much an iDon’t phone. The official unveiling today probably marked the beginning of Google Android phones as a serious contender in the smartphone market.

The new navigators from Mio will sport their brandnew Spirit UI that features kinetic scrolling. How’s that for an enticement? Mio has three non-TV GPS devices, namely the Navman Spirit S300, S500 and Navman Flat. They all have the Spirit touchscreen UI and text-to-speech.

In terms of build, the Viliv S5 MID (or UMPC, whatever you want to call it) is one of the better buys on its niche, though we were hoping the UMID mbook improves on its current hardware. The Viliv S5 is an Atombased machine with a 4.8-inch WSVGA touchscreen. For $599 it is good value, [...]
