LG Optimus 7 aka E900 - Windows Mobile by LG

LG Optimus 7 aka E900, a highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 handset, is due out in the mid October, but has already got its preview by our fellow Korean colleagues. In addition to what we already knew about the Optimus 7, their hands-on experience has added speech-to-text recognition. We hope that they were testing it in English, of course, or at least English will be supported by the Optimus 7 in English-speaking countries were it will come out. Another new feature is ability to shoot panoramic images by adding a couple of ordinary picture together, well, again, new to LG Optimus 7 of course. Follow the link for a splash of specs.

Green Technology Present SLS AMG E-Cell – Mercedes electric car

We have heard of very many electric cars before, but some of them are not powerful enough, powerful ones don't give you any range or just prototypes that never make it to market. However, Mercedes is planning on making it a production car. Electric SLS AMG E-cell provides really good power, a decent range of 125 miles and really good looks of its fire breathing brother.

This electric car features not one engine like its brother but four motors. Each motor is powering its own wheel which makes the whole system very powerful. How powerful? No, it won't give you more power than ordinary Mercedes SLS (not that this supercar can be called ordinary), but its electric brother gives you up to 528 hp. The petrol version outputs 563 hp.

Having a lot of horses under the bonnet is a good thing but there is also such a parameter as torque (it is responsible for car's acceleration basically). And here our electric SLS AMG monster beats the base petrol model by more than 30% producing 649 ft/lbs as opposed to 479 ft/lbs from the stock car.

Everybody knows that placing an electric motor in a car, four of them in this case, you need to carry around a huge weight of batteries in your car. And this one is carrying as much as 880 lbs more weight than the stock model. Experts say that this addition to the weight killed the car's handling and steering, but Mercedes promise that they will solve these problems when the electric SLS AMG hits auto salons.

on Review Apple iPad

The long awaited Apple tablet has finally been revealed. Steve Jobs pulled the wraps off on January 27th in a tense morning for Apple and tech fans all over the world. Now with the specifications and information out there it's time to preview the iPad and its potential.

First of all the design is pretty spectacular. The front is dominated by the large 9.7" LCD Led lit display that without a doubt will look great. Just below the screen you get the iPhone home button that allows you to go back to the beginning at all times. One less pretty feature for me are the black borders around the screen. They are a bit too wide for my taste, it would've been better if Apple was able to stretch the display a little and remove the borders. On the top you get the sleep button that will deactivate the display. On the right side you get the volume buttons and the silence switch, interesting is that the buttons have been moved from left (iPhone) to the right. On the back you get the large black Apple logo in the middle of a big gray (aluminum?) mass. It also says iPad on the back, the number of GBs and a few FCC things that are required to be there I think. It's not impossible to assume that the new iPhone will feature a similar back. The tablet is really thin, in fact it's just 0.5 inch thick, that's as thick as an iPhone. Height and width measures come in at: 9.6 inches and 7.47 inch.

Now lets talk about the software of the iPad. It works very similar to an iPhone. Slide to unlock and you're in the main screen with the typical iPhone icons. You get: YouTube, mail, Safari, contacts, iPod, iTunes, app store, video, settings, maps (by Google!), calendar, photos and last but not least notes.

The apps have been modified a bit for the new capabilities though. For example photos are now arranged by event blocks. Tapping on a block of photos will show you a preview of the photos in that event (or map for windows users). However you can also view your most treasured memories by list, location, faces or date. We can imagine that it will look really fantastic to manipulate the photographs on a huge touchscreen and to show it to your friends.

Another app Steve Jobs showed extensively was the Safari app. The browsing experience exceeds the desktop experience because you can touch and flick through the pages. And unlike the iPhone you now see the full webpages.

The App store will transform this device into things Apple alone could never achieve. You can run all the iPhone applications on it in either full screen or 1:1, the latter being the actual resolution we're used to from out favorite smartphone. But in addition to running the iPhone apps, the iPad will also get its own apps. Developers can create programs for it and utilize its full potential. The things we've seen in the keynote, including software from EA, looked okay but not very impressive. In a few months some amazing piece of codes will come out for the tablet we're sure.

I have taken everything into consideration and a few things bug me as of now. Firstly does the iPad have flash support? The tablet is suppose to deliver the best browsing experience ever, but flash is a big part of the experience.

Another thing is the hardware. Apart from the case and the touchscreen things aren't looking good on paper. It has a quadcore 1ghz processor built in from Apple, a company not specialized in these chips. I have fears that this A4 processor might not be fast enough for the really interesting apps. Another downer is the lack of iSight camera. This thing would have been amazing for conferencing or instant messaging, an opportunity missed there. Other hardware figures are a mystery. Like how quick is the graphics chip? And how much system memory does it have to work with?

And last but not least I'm having a hard time giving the software my two thumbs up. I think it looks to much like the iPhone software. The iPad would have been a much stronger product if the software allowed some advanced things like video editing or the ability to access and store files in finder windows (or maps for windows users).

To conclude. The iPad looks amazing and with a price of EUR499 it will sell really well. But much like the first iPhone launch the iPad has some obvious shortcomings. It isn't really fast, has no webcam and on top of that the software is lacking premium computing features. With that said I might still get one if the experience is as amazing as Steve Jobs expressed during his presentation. Which knowing Apple will probably be the case.

Gadget review - Samsung Galaxy Tab

The iPad has truly revolutionized the way we use and think about computers. Most people were laughing at the idea (and judging by the previous failure of tablet PCs and slates, which have been around for about a decade now), but they soon realized that it's actually happening. Apple, with their strong user base, good marketing and good product, obviously, has once again done something that no company could do before.

The iPad can be used by anyone, it looks great, it's very easy to use and can do most tasks a normal user would want: surf the Web, watch TV shows, movies and listen to music, edit documents, etc. Of course, other manufacturers noticed the huge market that just opened before them, and they started working on their own tablets. The first ones to come out with a (very) similar device were actually unknown companies in China, who started making and selling copies of the iPad, in smaller and even bigger sizes, and running on the free and open source Android OS.

The bigger manufacturers thought that was a good idea, and created their own Android based tablets. The first one to announce such a device was Samsung, with their Galaxy Tab, rumors of which have been around ever since the iPad was officially declared a big success. And now, about a year later, the rumors came true and the Galaxy Tab has been officially announced and set for release. The new tablet is pretty impressive, and has a lot of strong points that will make it a good competitor to the iPad.

The Galaxy Tab comes in a 7 inch format, which is smaller than the iPad's 10 inches, and more comfortable for mobile use, as many polls show (Apple themselves said they'll release a 7 inch version this winter). The device is very easy to hold in one hand, thanks to its 375 grams of weight and 11.9 mm thickness. The build quality is high - the device is made of durable plastic with scratch resistant Gorilla glass covering the screen.

The hardware specs are also impressive: the Samsung Galaxy Tab has a 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor (with the fastest video chip on the market, available only on Samsung devices, the PowerVR SGX540) and 512 MB of RAM, which will be more than enough for most tasks, and should be enough for a future Android 3 upgrade. There are 16 or 32 GB of internal memory, depending on the model (poor Sprint users in the US get only 2 GB) with the possibility to extend it using an external micro SD card (up to 32 GB supported right now). It also has 2 cameras, one on the back for taking photos and one on the front for video calls (you can switch between them of course, but the resolutions are different). The 3 megapixels of the back camera are more than enough to take decent shots, but you sure will look weird when doing so with a pretty giant (for a camera) device.

The OS is of course, Android 2.2, which supports Flash inside the browser and gives you the ability to do pretty much anything with the help of over 100,000 various apps on the marketplace. The screen is a strong point of this device. Samsung has always been known for manufacturing high quality LCD panels, and the 1024x600 widescreen unit inside the Galaxy Tab doesn't disappoint - it's bright, has a great contrast and very vivid colors.

Other specs include support for HSPA (7.2 and 5.76 Mbps download/upload), Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA, Wifi b/g/n, and integrated GPS. The 4000 mAh battery should last for 4-6 hours of constant use, which is a bit on the low side (to be fair, the iPad has 2 such batteries inside, which doubles the lifetime), but maybe a software patch (for better app and processor frequency handling) could fix that.

Overall, the Samsung galaxy Tab is certainly a worthy competitor to the iPad. It is much more portable, and gives the user more freedom of use and more features (video calls using Skype is one of the best examples). The performance is very high, and it should be able to handle most tasks you can throw at it.

Xperia X8 - Easy and entertaining Android smartphone by Sony Ericsson

Four months after it was announced, Sony Ericsson's Xperia X8 can't quite seem to run with most other Android phones on the market it now finds itself in.Four months after announcing the Xperia X8, Sony is finally putting the Android smartphone on the market.

And what a disappointment it is. Sony Ericsson has yet to build a truly innovative smartphone and Xperia X8 is no different.This handset features Android 1.6. Sony Ericsson is promising to update the phone to Android 2.1, however, Sony has failed to deliver on similar promises for other Android handsets, so proceed with caution.

The phone features a 600MHz processor, 3-inch capacitive HVGA display, and a 3.2MP camera. 128MB of on-board storage.The handset still runs Sony Ericsson’s User Experience Platform along with the Timescape feature.This will be one of the most affordable Android phones released by Sony Ericsson.

The phone is expected to roll out first in European markets with a price point of 200 Euros (approximately $250 USD). It may not have all the bells and whistles of some of the more cutting edge smart phones available, but at such a low price point, Sony Ericsson is clearly trying to target a different part of the market.

New Release - Samsung Galaxy S2 i9200

The Samsung Galaxy S blitz has barely gotten off the ground around the world and yet Russian website Itrans (translated) is saying they have the first pictures of its alleged successor.  While we wait for our Vibrant, Fascinate, Epic 4G, and Captivate  handsets to arrive, the rumor mill sees no reason in sitting back.  According to Itrans, the i9200 Galaxy S 2 will arrive early 2011 with some high end hardware.

•     4.3-inch 2-Super AMOLED display with 1280x720 resolution
•     Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
•     2 GHz processor
•     32 GB of internal memory, a slot for MicroSD memory cards up to 32 GB
•     1 GB RAM, 4 GB ROM
•     8-megapixel camera with autofocus and HD video recording
•     3.5 mm audio jack
•    A-GPS, Accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor
•    Google Service (Android Market, Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube)

Based on the specs and suggested release, it's safe to assume this would be running Android 3.0/Gingerbread. It's hard to imagine this phone coming down the pipeline as quickly as the rumor suggests, but crazier things have happened.

Samsung Galaxy S on Review

Samsung Galaxy S smartphones and the Galaxy Tab are Android’s first answer to the Apple iPhone and iPad which have taken  consumers by storm.  The Galaxy S series will be available across all major cell phone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, and now Verizon once the Fascinate is released (details on that here).

With the advent of the Froyo 2.2 update, many Android users predict that there will be more and more people selecting the handset over the Apple based units.   It’s poised to be the age-old “Mac vs PC” argument – only on a smartphone and tablet computer level.

The Galaxy S tab was revealed in Berlin, and analysts believe that pricing and contracts could be the determining factor over how much the device hurts iPad sales. The Apple iPad doesn’t require contracts, and comes at an affordable price point for many gadget lovers.

As the competition against Apple heats up, the Samsung Galaxy S phones and tablet show the most promise, but they are far from “iPad killers” or “iPhone killers” that so many people are looking for. However, having sold 1 million units in 45 days, the phones at least show promise.

The Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is packed with so much stuff, you’ll always find something new to play with. Smart Alarm: GALAXY S knows how refreshing a natural wake up is compared to the  sudden, overbearing, onslaught of noise from a radio station, TV, or other alarm device, with its gradual volume-increasing alarm, gently awaking you from a satisfying sleep, and giving you a natural transition to your morning.

Daily Briefing: Before your day begins, GALAXY S?s Daily Brief delivers exactly what matters to you, right to your phone?s home screen-today?s top headlines, stock info, weather forecast-Daily Briefing widget even displays your schedule and calendar, making sure you?re aware of what your day holds in store without having to boot your computer, wait through TV commercials, or scour through a messy newspaper. Integrated Calendar: With GALAXY S and its Integrated Calendar, your schedules, agendas, calendars, to-do lists, regardless of their sources, are auto-synced, and organized into a single, color-coded, neat-and-tidy application

The Latest from Apple, I Phone4

Apple's launch of the iPhone 4 has seen the greatest excitement for a new phone ever - and with HD video recording, a super high-res screen and ridiculously slim dimensions, it's not hard to see why.

But things are a little different now - not only was the iPhone 3GS something of a non-update to the iPhone range, but there are finally decent alternatives in the smartphone market, with the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S leading the Android fight right to Apple's door.

Add to that the first major leak of an Apple product a couple of months before launch, and suddenly the iPhone 4 has a lot to do to impress.

At least Apple has unleashed the big guns for this effort - before we get into the headline specs, the design itself is a massive talking point on its own.

Jobs' chats on stage to unveil a new iPhone might have got a little repetitive (best this, magical that etc) but this is the first time since the first iPhone way back in January 2007 that we've seen a variation on the standard iPhone design.

Gone is the traditional curved back and plastic exterior with slightly chunky dimensions; in is a chassis that's only 9.3mm thin at its thickest point and a new stainless steel and glass industrial design.

If you're an iPhone fan, there's a good chance you won't like the look of the iPhone the first time you pick it up - it's the same weight as the iPhone 3GS at 137g, but it's a lot smaller, with dimensions of 115.2mm x58.6 mm x 9.3mm, so it feels like a much weightier and compact model.

The edges are stainless steel, apparently forged by winged unicorns in an iceberg (or something) to be 10 times stronger than 'normal' steel.

The front and back of the phone are made of glass, which has also been treated to be a lot stronger than the normal variety we're used to seeing through and drinking out of.

This claim holds up - not only did we feel the need to drop the phone onto the floor a few times to test, someone nameless of the TechRadar team also knocked it out (an admittedly low level) window onto concrete - and not a scratch.

If you're the protective type, then you can buy an official 'Bumper' for the iPhone 4, which encases it in a small ring of rubber, if you haven't bought the handset only for its slim lines.

The chassis shape isn't the only different thing with the iPhone 4 - the whole ethos has been tweaked. For instance, no longer is there a slightly plasticky rocker switch to control volume on the left-hand side, as it's now two discrete metal buttons with '+' and '-' written on.

The volume silencer rocker switch is above too, but that has also undergone the uber-metallic treatment.

The top of the phone still holds the headphone jack, and the power/lock key. However, the 3.5mm port is now flush to the chassis, and the power button feels much nicer to hit than before.

There's also a separate microphone for noise cancelling next to this as well - we imagine a few people will be pushing paperclips in there before they realise that it's not for the SIM card slot.

The right-hand side of the chassis is still blank - no camera button sadly, which would have been nice given the extra effort Apple has clearly put into overhauling the photography system.

Still, sleek is clearly still 'in' at the Cupertino HQ, and we can't say we blame the designers when you look at the lines.

Actually, that's not true - the micro-SIM slot is hidden away here, rather than on the top. It's the same pokey key thing/slot system as before, but this time the SIM card is much smaller - Apple says to make more room for stuff inside, we say it's just to shake things up a little bit. Either way, we bet micro-SIMs become the norm before very long in all phones.

The bottom of the phone has the familiar Apple connector for charging and connecting and docking etc, and is flanked by another more microphone-y looking microphone slot and the speaker.

The front still has that one iconic button, which is much nicer to press in the new chassis, it has to be said.

Overall, the design might not impress some people the first time they pick up the phone - a number of people we showed the phone to grimaced a little bit the first time they handled it.

It's a sharp and weighty-feeling phone, make no mistake - and it doesn't sit as comfortably in the hand as well as other iPhones of the past have.

But it feels premium, and at up to £600, it had better - that's a lot to pay when you consider you could get a 42-inch 1080p LCD for £200 less these days.

LG Neon GT365 Features
LG Neon GT365 has a 2.4 inch LCD with a 240 x 400 pixel resolution and support for 262K colors, and it also has an accelerometer for auto rotation of the screen when you turn it from portrait to landscape view. Below the screen you'll find a colorfully organized four button navigator that's complemented by send or end keys and two soft navigation keys. When you press the dialer button at the bottom left corner of the LG Neon GT365's navigation area, you'll be able to quickly dial numbers using the touchscreen dialer.

All other functions are accessed via the physical navigation keys. The Home screen menu from LG Neon GT365's Flash user interface (UI) provides quick access to your calendar, alarm clock and digital audio player, and it provides an intuitive tab-based layout for accessing phone, multimedia and other tools. LG Neon GT365 also offers a three row full QWERTY keyboard that smoothly slides out from the left side of the phone (when viewed in tall portrait mode). LG Neon GT365 comes with a small 14 MB internal memory, which is expandable via optional microSD memory cards (up to 4 GB in size).

The internal phonebook can store up to 1000 contacts, with each entry providing space for up to four phone numbers, one email address, and a picture ID. The phone also includes nine speed dial options (eight entries plus one voicemail) and support for caller groups as well as designating a specific ringtone to a contact. Hands free communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), and includes profiles for communication headset, hands free car kits, and file transfer.

With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can also wirelessly send contacts, calendar events, notes and pictures.

LG Lotus Elite - The the fashion phone from LG

LG Lotus Elite carries on the fashion phone reputation of its predecessor with an unquestionably bold and unique design. Measuring 3.43 inches wide by 2.44 inches long by 0.75 inch thick, LG Lotus Elite pays homage to the original Lotus with its square shape but has a style all its own. Indeed, the Lotus Elite is much sleeker and curvier than the blocky Lotus, with rounded corners and shiny chrome detail along its borders. The phone feels like it is solidly constructed the hinge seems sturdy as well.

LG wisely debuted the Lotus Elite in a stunning bold red decorated with a whimsical floral tattoo, which appears to be a ploy to attract the female demographic. However, the biggest design update for LG Lotus Elite is with its external display. It measures 2.4 inches diagonally, which takes up quite a bit of room on such a small phone. It also boasts 262.000 colors and a 320x240 pixel resolution, which makes everything look sharp and colorful. Not only that, but the display is now a touch screen.

Indeed, you can use your finger to tap through options just as you would with any touch screen handset. The display is resistive, not capacitive, so it's not quite as responsive as the screen on the iPhone or the Nexus One, but since the external touch screen on LG Lotus Elite has access to only a limited menu of options, it's not that big a deal. The first thing you'll notice when you activate the external touch screen is that it has animated wallpaper the one we have has an animation of a flying butterfly, for example.

You will also see the typical indicators like battery and signal strength, plus the date and time. There's also an icon for any missed calls or messages. Beyond that, you can customize it so that you can access your messages, photo gallery (or slide show), speed dial contacts, recent call history, and contacts list without having to open the phone. You simply swipe horizontally across the screen to flip through them. You can also use the external display as a camera viewfinder.

You can adjust the external display's screensaver and, if you want, you can calibrate the touch screen for added accuracy. On the whole, we found the external touch screen intuitive to use. On the left side are a 2.5mm headset jack, the volume rocker, and the charger jack, while the camera key, screen lock key, and microSD card slot are on the right. On the back of the phone is a tiny little metal loop on which you can tie a cell phone charm if you wish. The LG Lotus Elite even comes with an optional red leather strap to attach to it.

Interestingly, the 2.0 megapixel camera on LG Lotus Elite is located right on the hinge of the phone. When the phone is closed, the camera lens appears on the upper left of the phone's rear. When the phone is open, the lens appears on the hinge in between the display and the keypad. Since you'll be using the internal display as a viewfinder at that point, it makes it much easier to take self portraits. Flip open the phone and you'll find another 2.4 inch display with the same color support and pixel resolution. Unlike the external display, though, the internal one is not a touch screen.

It does feature Sprint's OneClick interface, which is a center carousel of shortcut tiles along the bottom row of the home screen. This lets you quickly access phone functions like your messages, your account details, Sprint Navigation, your Yahoo Mail, and more. Notable shortcuts include quick views of your Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace accounts, plus a Google menu that gives you access to Google search, Gmail, and YouTube. You can easily add and remove shortcut tiles from the OneClick carousel. You can adjust the display's brightness, the backlight time, the font size for messages, the browser, the notepad, the dial digits, and applications, and you can have picture IDs for contacts, unsaved numbers, and private or unknown numbers. The main menu can be arranged in either grid view or list view.

New Release from Motorola - Motorola Brute i680 | Fresh Gadget

Motorola Brute i680 should be able to withstand just about anything you can throw at it. It's large (3.92 inches tall by 2.09 inches wide by 1 inch deep), heavy (5.63 ounces), and is covered in a tough plastic and rubber skin. Indeed, the handset feels very solid in the hand and the sturdy hinge ensures that it opens and shuts with authority. We dropped the handset onto a concrete floor and even threw it across the room onto carpet. Both times, there wasn't a scratch and the phone kept on ticking.

Sure, the black and gray color scheme screams industrial, but this a device built for brawn over beauty. The external display is a bit bigger than a postage stamp, but it supports 65.000 colors (160x120 pixels). It supports photo caller ID, displays your recently called phone numbers, and doubles as a viewfinder for the camera. Speaking of which, the lens sits just above next to the flash. We'd prefer to have a camera shutter control on the phone's exterior, but one is not available.


On the top of the phone you'll find a speakerphone control and the standard Nextel button for accessing your recent calls list. Between them is a headset jack, which, unfortunately, is 2.5 mm (we prefer a standard 3.5mm jack). On the left spine are the volume rocker and push to talk (PTT) control. Both are large and easy to find by feel. We were glad to see that Moto included a Micro-USB port for both the charger and a USB cable. You'll find it on the right spine behind a secure rubber flap. Motorola Brute i680 is water resistant so the rear battery cover is secured by a locking mechanism.


You'll also need to remove it to access the microSD card slot. Moto doesn't include an unlocking tool in the box, but you should be able to use your fingernail. The Brute also is certified to the standard military specifications for elements like dust, shock and vibration, high and low temperature, and salt fog. The internal display measures 2.2 inches and supports 65.000 colors (220x176 pixels). Though its resolution isn't exactly eye popping, it's perfectly suitable for this caliber of phone.


Colors were bright and graphics and photos show up well. You can change the text size and the backlight time. We were glad that unlike many previous Nextel phones, Motorola Brute i680 offers a one page menu interface in a list or icon style. The spacious navigation is extremely user friendly with all controls raised above the surface of the phone. There are four directional controls with a central OK button, a dedicated menu key, two soft keys, a camera shortcut and the Talk and End or power keys.


The only thing missing is a dedicated back button. In standby mode, the up and down directional buttons open the settings menu and the recent calls list respectively; the side buttons let you cycle through the shortcut icons that sit on the display. They keypad buttons are spacious and tactile. We could text and dial quickly and we appreciate the large backlit numbers on the buttons

Latest HTC Droid Phone Has Release

Android phones have really taken a lot of the steam out of AT&T stranglehold on the super-smart phone market and HTC is the leader in Droid compatible mobile devices but is their new Incredible really as good as the company promises?

There’s no doubt that the HTC Incredible is a sleek little machine.  The exterior design and physical layout of all the controls including their integration with the 3.7” AMOLED screen is near to perfect and developers somehow managed to shave an ounce and a half out of the weight compared to Motorola’s Droid.  But when you get into the inner workings of the gadget, it’s almost as if the folks who slapped it together forgot it was supposed to be a phone.

Running on the Android 2.1 OS you can’t really fault the operation.  It’s 1GHz Snapdragon processor really speeds everything up (with some operations clocking in at nearly 1/3 faster!)  You also get an 8-megapixel camera with Dual LED flash (something Apple fans are going to have to wait for the iPhone 4G to get) and 8Gb built in memory—not a lot but better than the previous generation Droid phones.

Is the HTC Incredible all Flash?

There’s no physical keyboard, which I personally don’t mind, but I know some of you purists out there are going to hate the phone for that, and for the sake of aesthetics the Incredible doesn’t have an external shutter button—it’s touch screen only.

Unfortunately, that’s about it for good marks for the Incredible.  For a phone, the call quality is abysmal.  On both ends of the callers sound snowy and washed out like back in the caveman days of cell phones though lost calls generally aren’t a problem.  Another drawback is the short battery life (somewhere around 5 hours give or take the amount and type of usage) which is confusing because the AMOLED screen is supposed to be so much more energy efficient than standard LCD screens.  Perhaps the larger processor is sucking more juice.

While the Incredible really isn’t, it’s not a bad device.  It’s very web-friendly and features “Friend Stream” showing all of your Facebook, Twitter, and Flikr updates on one section of your customizable home screen.

So if you need a mobile device but don’t actually make many phone calls the Incredible may be perfect for you.
