We currently have two products in the lab that need to be tested – Casio Exilim EX-G1 (a camera) and Casio G’zOne Brigade (a cell phone). Both products are of the rough and tumble variety, so our goal is to break them. How should we do it? Everything will be caught on camera so sky’s [...]

Hands-on With the Motorola Devour (Verizon Wireless)

Motorola Devour: Baby Droid With MotoBlur on Verizon

Remember when Verizon offered the worst phones imaginable? It wasn’t that long ago, but in the last year or so they really turned things around. It’s doubtful that anyone would argue if I said they had the best overall selection of devices.

Palm Pre Plus Review: Is Plus Enough?

AT&T Drops Silly Lawsuit Against Verizon Wireless

Oh goodness. I’m glad that Verizon and AT&T have dropped those silly lawsuits against each other over those ridiculous 3G network ads. I was really losing sleep over them. I have to wonder, though, whether or not AT&T’s Luke Wilson ads were even worth the money. Who cares what he has to say? I’m not [...]
