LG Optimus 3D At just 11.9mm thick, the Optimus 3D is only a couple of milimetres
fatter than the anorexic-skinny Samsung Galaxy S2. It's by no means a
small phone, however, keeping in current smartphone vogue by offering up
a super-sized 4.3-inch display. When we played with it at MWC, however,
it felt somehow less solid to us than its rivals, despite its slightly
greater 168 gram weight. The handset packs a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen, with an 800x480
resolution. Of course, the big draw on this latest of LG handsets is its
3D screen. |

LG Optimus 2X As the first dual-core processor equipped smartphone on the market, the
LG Optimus 2X was sure to garner a lot of attention no matter how good
or bad it turned out to be. Thankfully, the phone is quite good, though
that might have little to do with its processor. The 2X features some very nice user interface updates and comes equipped
with 3 fun, and presumably processor hungry, games that are sure to
keep Optimus 2X owners pre-occupied. It also includes an 8 megapixel
camera that can record 1080p HD video, but it falls a bit short of the
mark there. |

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v Samsung was the first manufacturer to provide a credible iPad competitor
with its original Samsung Galaxy Tab and now the company is back with a
bigger and better tablet - the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. As the name
suggests, the Galaxy Tab offers a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280x800
resolution – the same as the Xoom and slightly larger than the iPad's
9.7-inches and 1024x768 resolution. The 1GHz Nvidia dual-core processor is more than capable of handling
day-to-day tasks, while the tablet includes 16GB of storage space. |

LG Optimus Pad LG Optimus Pad. LG steps into the tablet wars with their 8.9-inch
Android tablet featuring Google’s new tablet optimized OS Honeycomb. The
tablet has a built-in 3D camera, but unlike LG's Optimus 3D smartphone,
the screen can't display 3D images without the aid of 3D glasses.
Images and high-definition 1080p video taken with the Optimus Pad's
5-megapixel 3D camera can be viewed on 3D TVs or shared on the Web via
YouTube 3D. The Optimus Pad also has a 2-megapixel front camera for
video calls. |

Motorola Xoom Motorola Xoom is the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet on the market.
The Xoom basically is a 10.1-inch touchscreen, equipped with formidable
hardware. 1GHz, NVIDIA Tegra 2-based slate boasts a sizable 1GB of DDR2
RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 capacitive
display, 3G connectivity, along with front and rear facing cameras, HD
video capability, and loads of wireless options. The general shape and build of the Xoom comes off looking just a teensy bit like the iPad's longer, more dangerous cousin. |

Samsung Galaxy Tab The Galaxy Tab has one goal alone, and that is to prove that Android 2.2 functions on a tablet despite what Google says. OK, it also has the goal of dethroning the iPad as the go-to tab on the market, but frankly that just isn’t happening. The Galaxy Tab excels as a web viewer and eReader, and media and gaming on the slate work out pretty smoothly. Under low use the battery lasts quite a while, but heavy use will see it drain steadily and surely. The size is just right for portability, but ends up feeling a bit constricted. |

HTC Inspire 4G The HTC Inspire 4G's massive 800 x 480-pixel 4.3-inch WVGA screen
engulfs a majority of real estate up front, assaulting the user with
ample capacitive goodness. The Inspire 4G's screen is so sleek that we
felt as if we were swiping on fresh silk. Four haptic feedback buttons
(Home, Menu, Back, and Search) reside along a minute strip on the bottom
of the screen in order to preserve maximum viewing space. It became
obvious early on that it was bred for high quality entertainment. |

Motorola Droid X A phone that packs so much power is not hard to come by these days, but the Motorola Droid X offers more than the average bear. It's a lightning quick phone, thanks to one of the best processors on the market, offers great coverage, has a seemingly endless supply of applications, and a giant 4.3-inch screen. It's big and gawky. Don't expect the slim, refined chassis of a Samsung Captivate or beautiful architecture of an iPhone 4. The Motorola Droid X is tall and features a lip along its backside that leads to a protruding ledge ... |

Most of the times you want to modify your battery icons, you have to
flash an update.zip or push files to your phone with adb. Not anymore if
you are a proud owner of a Galaxy S, Epic, Nexus One, HTC Hero CDMA or
HTC Magic. XDA-member appelflap and impaler747 teamed up to
make battery icon mods as simple as possible, and they did a good job. They actually put together an app, for root users only of course, which makes modifying the battery icon a walk in the park.
