		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s get something out of the way right off the bat: the HTC One is a damn fine Android phone. It&#8217;s the finest I&#8217;ve ever used, and I&#8217;ve used a fair number of Android phones in this line of work. Being an Android phone is tough, though, due in large part to the sheer number of Android phones that are on the market and the speed at which they become available. Case in point: HTC&#8217;s own Droid DNA is and was a damn fine Android phone that came out less than six months ago; aside from the DNA having a slightly larger screen and being available on Verizon, the HTC One has basically taken the wind out of the Droid DNA&#8217;s sails. That&#8217;s what HTC&#8217;s biggest challenge might be with the One: there&#8217;s always another Android phone looming right around the corner that may be able to knock the current champ off its pedestal. In the One&#8217;s case, that phone might be the Samsung Galaxy S4, which is due out in a couple of weeks. For now, however, the HTC One is absolutely the Android phone to beat, and arguably the smartphone to beat regardless of platform. Of all the One&#8217;s features, five stick out as notable: its design, screen, speed, camera and battery. These are five major things that aren&#8217;t superfluous or gimmicky. These are important, useful features, and HTC nailed them. The One is an exercise in thoughtful, beautiful design. It&#8217;s wrapped in aluminum, not plastic; it&#8217;s big but not too big; substantial but not heavy. A lot of care went into crafting this phone. The 4.7-in. (12 cm) screen packs a full HD (1920 by 1080) resolution and pushes out rich colors. It&#8217;s truly gorgeous, whether you&#8217;re reading text, looking at photos or watching video. And the 1.7-GHz quad-core processor coupled with 2 gigabytes of RAM ensures every swipe, tap and scroll is as smooth as the next. When it comes to the camera, HTC opted out of the megapixel race, instead referring to the One&#8217;s camera as<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=160559&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gone are the days when the only way to get your hands on a high-end smartphone was to sign a multi-year agreement with a major carrier. Today, you can get top Android phones as well as the iPhone 5, not to mention the new BlackBerry Z10, all without a contract on prepaid plans. Prepaid plans provide the same access to carriers&#8217; voice and data networks, but without the contract (or steep penalties if you leave before your two years are up). You&#8217;ll pay up front for the phone, but end up saving, if you stick with a phone for two years. Prepaid used to be viewed as the option for those with poor credit, but that&#8217;s not the case anymore. Last year, Cricket was the first prepaid carrier to get the iPhone 5. Now you can also get the iPhone 5 from Straight Talk (offered by Walmart) and Solavei, which is a relative newcomer that uses T-Mobile&#8217;s 4G network. That&#8217;s much like Boost and Virgin Mobile use Sprint&#8217;s network. Perhaps even more indicative of the way things are going is the fact that prepaid-carrier Cricket was announced as a carrier at the launch of one of the most highly anticipated phones of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S 4. Samsung Samsung Galaxy S III Even after the unveiling of the flagship 5-inch Samsung Galaxy S 4, the 4.8-inch Galaxy S III is an impressive phone. It has Samsung&#8217;s bright, poppy Super AMOLED display, a fast 1.5GHZ dual core processor that easily handles games and apps, an excellent 8MP camera and access to the fastest 4G networks. Plus, there&#8217;s NFC for tapping to pair the phone with accessories and eye tracking, which prevents the screen from timing out while reading books or web pages. It&#8217;s available on Cricket ($379.99), Solavei ($575) and T-Mobile ($599.99). Apple iPhone 5 The iPhone 5 is a shoo-in for our best prepaid smartphone list. It&#8217;s got the best app store behind it and a huge ecosystem of compatible accessories and cases. Plus, it has a beautiful<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159378&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the five years since Apple released its first iPhone, touch-screen smartphones have become thinner, lighter, faster and more capable. But through it all, battery life has mostly stayed the same. You can probably make it through the day on a single charge, but not without a degree of caution. You&#8217;ll want to keep Bluetooth turned off when it&#8217;s not in use, and avoid long stretches of data use over 4G. High-end games and streaming video are guaranteed to melt away battery life, and if you&#8217;re spending a few hours in a dead zone, you&#8217;re better off powering down instead of wasting precious juice searching for a signal. Because battery capacity hasn&#8217;t improved much over the years, the batteries themselves have gotten bigger, limiting how thin and light phones can be. Meanwhile, technologies like 1080p screens and wireless screen mirroring have been hamstrung by batteries that can&#8217;t keep up. Bad battery life can be an Achilles&#8217; heel for otherwise solid phones; by the time you realize your phone&#8217;s battery stinks, it might be too late to send it back to the store. The good news is that there&#8217;s plenty of interest within the tech industry to make smartphone battery life better, and there&#8217;s no shortage of emerging technologies to make it happen. The bad news is that any significant improvements to battery chemistry are at least a couple years away. Pushing Lithium-Ion&#8217;s Limits Virtually every smartphone today relies on lithium-ion batteries, which provide power by transferring electrons between the anode and cathode of a battery cell. The amount of lithium ions inside the battery directly affects how long your phone can last on a charge. The problem lies in the graphite that stores lithium ions in the anode of a battery. Graphite has a theoretical limit to how much lithium it can hold, and today&#8217;s batteries have pretty much reached it. While bigger batteries are always an option&#8211;as seen in Motorola&#8217;s Droid Razr Maxx&#8211;most people don&#8217;t want thicker, heavier phones, so phone makers sacrifice battery life in the name of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=158551&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I own an iPad with 64GB of storage. Until the recent arrival of the 128GB iPad, mine was the largest-capacity model available &#8212; but it&#8217;s not enough. At the moment, I have less than 6GB of free space; when that dwindles away, I&#8217;m going to be in trouble. That makes me exactly the sort of person Seagate has in mind as a prospective customer for its $199.99 Wireless Plus, the hard-disk kingpin&#8217;s second-generation drive aimed at owners of iPads and other mobile devices. (Its predecessor, which debuted in 2011, was originally known as the Seagate GoFlex Satellite.) The Wireless Plus is a portable, battery-powered drive with a terabyte of storage (twice that of the Satellite) and built-in wi-fi, which lets it connect with gadgets which don&#8217;t have a USB port, such as the iPad, iPhone and most Android devices. In fact, it can connect to eight devices at a time and can stream HD video to three of them simultaneously. Seagate provided me with a unit for review. At first blush, the Wireless Plus looks like a slightly chunkier fraternal twin of Seagate&#8217;s Backup Plus, the company&#8217;s standard-issue USB drive. The skosh of extra space inside makes room for a battery; Seagate says the drive can power itself for up to ten hours on a charge. It comes with a plug-in USB 3.0 adapter, which you can leave off if you only plan to use the drive in wireless mode &#8212; or you can swap in an optional adapter such as a $100 one for Thunderbolt, the fast connector used by Macs and a smattering of Windows PCs. As with Seagate&#8217;s earlier wireless drive, this one packs its own wi-fi network. You connect to it from your device, and then the device can see the drive. Wait, if you need to use your wi-fi connection to hook up with the Wireless Plus, does that mean you can&#8217;t get online at the same time? Nope &#8212; a new feature lets you tell the drive to connect to another available wi-fi network, then<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=155461&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quora may be one of a gajillion question-and-answer sites on the web, but at its best, it&#8217;s not like any of the others. It&#8217;s uncommonly interesting and engaging, because the site is full of smart people who can answer questions from a unique perspective. When someone asked who Apple&#8217;s first 25 employees were, it wasn&#8217;t the least bit surprising that some of the answers came from those early staffers &#8212; including one who shared a vintage photo of him and his coworkers with the Apple IIs they&#8217;d just boxed up. The stuff that folks share is often meaty in the same way that a good blog is meaty. And starting today, Quora is letting its community members &#8212; and anybody else who&#8217;s interested &#8212; create an actual blog on the site. Now, the company isn&#8217;t planning to compete with WordPress, SquareSpace, Tumblr and the other big guns of blogging head-on. For now, at least, it&#8217;s only giving prospective bloggers the basics, including the ability to set up shop at a Quora subdomain (such as yourbloghere.quora.com), create posts, upload images, specify tags and receive comments. The only customization option currently available is the opportunity to choose between a plain-vanilla view and a simple theme which is optimized for mobile reading. (MORE: Is Quora the Next Red-Hot Web Start-Up?) But Quora&#8217;s Marc Bodnick, who gave me a sneak peek of the new feature, says that the site offers something which is surprisingly tough for budding bloggers to find: readers. All posts get woven into the feeds of Quora users who are following relevant topics or the specific blog in question; even the very first post created by someone who&#8217;s never blogged before has a shot at getting some attention. (Among the site&#8217;s most popular topics: startups, sports, movies and food.) Bodnick told me that popular answers on Quora can get tens of thousands of views &#8212; which would be enough eyeballs to make a post a success even on an existing name-brand blog. Only a handful of blogs will launch today. But<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=155483&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For laptop makers, now is a time of experimentation. After years in pursuit of the same old goals &#8212; thinner, lighter, faster, cheaper &#8212; Windows 8 has provided a novel challenge: Create laptops that can transform into tablets, or vice versa. Lenovo&#8217;s IdeaPad Yoga 13, which starts at $1,000, is just one attempt to take advantage of Microsoft&#8217;s dual-sided operating system. Out of the box, it looks like a traditional notebook, but keep tilting the 13-inch touchscreen back along its hinge, and it folds all the way around until the clamshell is closed again. Only now, the screen is face-up, and the keyboard hangs from the underbelly. You can also open the Yoga partway, keys down, so the screen is facing outward, or stand the device on both of its edges in a tent-like configuration. This approach is simple and logical enough, but after spending a week with a Lenovo Yoga review unit, I think it&#8217;s a better laptop than it is a tablet. The Yoga is clad in plastic, but it&#8217;s a soft-touch material that doesn&#8217;t feel like the cheap shells of budget laptops, and the area where you rest your palms almost has a leathery feel. Among Windows laptops, it&#8217;s the rare high-end design that doesn&#8217;t feel ripped off from Apple&#8216;s MacBooks, yet its keyboard and trackpad are just as good. Jared Newman / TIME.com The trackpad is generously sized and covered in glass, so your fingers glide over it smoothly, and the entire surface clicks with ease. It also supports multi-touch gestures, such as two-finger scrolling, pinch-to-zoom and the ability to simulate right-clicks by depressing the pane with both fingers. The Yoga&#8217;s keyboard is also a pleasure to type on, with island-style keys that let out a satisfying clack. One particularly nice touch is the rounded edge on the bottom of each key, which seems to leave just a bit more room for your fingers to land. The display isn&#8217;t too chintzy, either, though it does beg for the occasional swipe of a cloth as fingerprints build up.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=151957&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The tech world always needs a good rumor to obsess over, and lately it&#8217;s been the idea of a Windows Phone made by Microsoft. A report from the Wall Street Journal claims that Microsoft is testing its own smartphone right now, in conjunction with component suppliers in Asia. In typical Journal fashion, the report cites &#8220;people familiar with the situation,&#8221; and is light on details. One source said the phone&#8217;s display will measure between four and five inches, which is just slightly more specific than saying &#8220;it will be a phone.&#8221; Whether the Microsoft Windows Phone will actually go into mass production remains uncertain. Other rumors have come before this one. The Verge has reported that Microsoft is considering its own phone as a &#8220;Plan B.&#8221; Boy Genius Report and WPCentral have also offered some scuttlebutt. (MORE: Windows Phone 8: This Time for Sure?) These reports give off a whiff of smoke from a probable fire, but perhaps the most solid hint of all comes from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, in a letter to company shareholders that laid out the company&#8217;s future: There will be times when we build specific devices for specific purposes, as we have chosen to do with Xbox and the recently announced Microsoft Surface. In all our work with partners and on our own devices, we will focus relentlessly on delivering delightful, seamless experiences across hardware, software and services. It&#8217;s not crazy to think that Microsoft would build a phone to go along with its tablets and game console, if the situation called for it. Rumor has it that Microsoft only decided to sell the Surface after seeing what PC makers were doing. That makes sense; Surface, with its built-in kickstand and clever keyboard covers, is quite different from all the other Windows 8 and Windows RT hybrids on the market now. Dockable tablets and swiveling Ultrabooks have their own perks, but they&#8217;re not the same as the Surface, whose laptop-like elements practically disappear when you don&#8217;t need them. It executes Microsoft&#8217;s vision for a &#8220;no compromises&#8221; tablet in a way that<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=150327&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For almost three years now, Google has been offering Android gadgets under its Nexus moniker &#8212; ones which put Android in its purest form on hardware that the company thinks is cool. The brand started with phones and then expanded to include the nifty Nexus 7 tablet (as well as the ill-fated Nexus Q TV gizmo). Only now, however, is Nexus beginning to feel like a comprehensive product line. That&#8217;s because Google is adding a 10&#8243; tablet, the Nexus 10 (the first Nexus tablet which competes directly with the iPad) and a new phone, the Nexus 4 (which replaces the aging Galaxy Nexus). Both will be available on November 13; Google provided me with review units this week. (MORE: My colleague Jared Newman rounded up 25 Android Apps to Get You Started) Even though Google is now the proud owner of Motorola, it doesn&#8217;t rely on its own hardware arm to produce Nexus devices. Instead, it spreads the wealth around: The Nexus 4 is an LG device, the Nexus 7 is from Asus and the Nexus 10 was manufactured by Samsung. As a result of this I-love-all-my-children-equally approach, there&#8217;s no overarching Nexus aesthetic, except for maybe &#8220;dark, with interesting textures or patterns.&#8221; So hardware-wise, the Nexus 10 doesn&#8217;t particularly look like the Nexus 7. The backside of the case is made of a rubberized plastic, and the most striking thing about it isn&#8217;t how it looks, but how it feels. It&#8217;s got an almost leathery touch I haven&#8217;t encountered in any other gadget. I&#8217;d still take the iPad&#8217;s aluminum case over rubbery plastic in a heartbeat, but otherwise, the Nexus 10&#8242;s hardware certainly gives the iPad a run for its money. This tablet is slightly thinner and lighter than the full-sized iPad. Its dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM paid off in fast performance in the apps I tried.  Unlike most tablets, it puts its stereo speakers on the front, so sound is projected right at you rather than fading into the distance. And it has MIMO wi-fi, a technology which can<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=150263&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although Hurricane Sandy wiped out Google&#8217;s big New York City press-event plans, the company went ahead and announced its new Nexus phone and tablets anyway. The lineup includes the Nexus 4 smart phone from LG, the Nexus 10 tablet from Samsung and updated Nexus 7 tablets from Asus with double the storage of the previous version and optional 3G. Google&#8217;s also adding new features to its Android operating system and beefing up its music, video and magazine services with more content. Here are the details on Google&#8217;s new hardware and software: LG&#8217;s Nexus 4 The Nexus 4 has a 4.7-in., 1,280-by-768-pixel resolution display, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor from Qualcomm, 2 gigabytes of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera and either 8 or 16 gigabytes of storage. It also has NFC, a micro USB port and micro HDMI output. For bells and whistles, Google is touting built-in wireless charging (though you&#8217;ll need to supply your own compatible charging mat) and a Photo Sphere feature that can shoot 360-degree panorama photos. In terms of tech specs, the Nexus 4 is close to the high end for today&#8217;s smart phones, but it has one major drawback: it doesn&#8217;t support 4G LTE, only the slower HSPA+. As the Verge explains, Google wants to sell these phones unlocked and without wireless contracts, which isn&#8217;t possible with Verizon or Sprint without their permission. That leaves AT&#38;T, whose LTE frequencies are different than the rest of the world&#8217;s. Rather than make a separate, and more expensive, 4G LTE phone for AT&#38;T users, Google went with a single HSPA+ model that works everywhere. The result is a phone that&#8217;s inexpensive considering that it&#8217;s not tied to a contract — $299 for the 8-GB version and $349 for the 16-GB version — but whose data speeds are surpassed by the majority of smart phones on the U.S. market. Also, in the U.S., the unlocked version will work only with AT&#38;T or T-Mobile, but the latter carrier will sell a subsidized Nexus 4 for $200<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=149912&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Google announces a Nexus phone and several tablets next week as expected, it&#8217;ll be both a major turning point and a test for the company&#8217;s Android platform. The launch of new Nexus hardware will represent Google&#8217;s biggest effort yet to regain control over Android and to find some footing in tablets, where the operating system has faltered. As if that wasn&#8217;t enough of a challenge, Google also has to compete with a major phone and tablet push by Microsoft, new Kindle Fire tablets, new Nook tablets and a smaller, less expensive iPad. It won&#8217;t be easy, but at this point, Google can&#8217;t sit on the sidelines anymore. In the smartphone realm, Android has flourished, but in a manner beyond Google&#8217;s control. Wireless carriers and phone makers tend to run amok with the core Android software, creating devices that aren&#8217;t necessarily worse, but are difficult to upgrade and loaded with bloatware. The results are an Android ecosystem that doesn&#8217;t always seem unified, and experiences that vary wildly from one Android phone to the next. (MORE: New Google Nexus Hardware: Here Comes the Wave?) Tablets are even more troublesome. Android hasn&#8217;t kept up with the iPad in market share unless you count Amazon&#8217;s Kindle Fire and Barnes &#38; Noble&#8217;s Nook tablets, which have their own app stores and unique interfaces.
