The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro isn’t just a pretty face or a very long name. We discovered that it punches well above its weight when it comes down to radiation levels. The X10 Mini Pro certainly crams plenty of tech into that tiny shell, but it may be releasing a little too much …

Sprint’s new flagship handset, the Evo 3D, is out today and with it comes a “first” for the carrier. But I’m not talking about the 3D camera or the glasses-free 3D display, as neat as they may be. Rather, I’m referring to the new freedom to remove preloaded software that users will get. The Evo 3D is the first Sprint …

Now playing: Watch this: OnLive iPad beta 1:49 The iPad doesn’t need any gaming help, in one sense: iOS games are thousandfold and selling like hotcakes, making Apple’s tablet an already-rich platform for games of all sorts. Still, I (and many others) have had a dream: what if you could add a Bluetooth controller and play real, PC/console-quality games on …

The Ask Maggie column is a year old this week. And the No. 1 question I consistently get is about the next iPhone. So it was only fitting that for the first anniversary of this column, I highlight yet another “When is the next iPhone coming?” question. In this week’s Ask Maggie, I help one reader decide if he should …

Now playing: Watch this: Vizio VIA 1:37 We first spied Vizio’s VIA Android tablet in the gadget-blur of CES 2011. It held the unfortunate distinction of being one of the last tablets we wrote about before Google and Motorola stole the show. Still, we’ve been wondering what became of Vizio’s 8-inch VIA tablet, and we jumped at the chance to …

Is your favourite phone melting your mind or giving you cancer? According to the latest research, almost certainly not. For your peace of mind though, we looked at the radiation levels of some of the top phones in the UK and ranked them accordingly. In order to monitor the levels of radiation we’re exposed to, the government requests that all …

Sprint’s Q3 road map has reportedly been leaked, and This is My Next has the scoop of several phones that should raise your eyebrows. First is the Samsung Epic 2, which we suspect is a successor to the Samsung Epic 4G. It will have a slightly faster 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird processor and an 8-megapixel camera (an improvement over the Epic …

From the first moments of its animated opening, which includes an execution, an implied rape, and a graphically slit throat, it’s clear that Gameloft’s BackStab deserves a stronger rating than “12+.” Since when is it OK to expose 12-year-olds to “Frequent/Intense Realistic Violence”? I guess that’s the world we live in. I know parents who let their 8-year-olds watch violent, …

Samsung is one of the most prolific cell phone manufacturers there is, but not every phone is an instant hit. From a smartphone-maker’s standpoint, it doesn’t have to be. Top-of-the-line handsets might wow us with their sheer processing power and camera might, at least compared with the generations that came before, but companies also make strategic decisions about when to …
