Whenever you sell your electronics to a reseller (or even return an item to the store after having used it), you should always be sure to erase the data from it completely. You can’t count on the reseller or the store employees to do it for you.
Will the Nikon D800 live up to your low light expectations? New Nikon D800 sample images are giving us a hint of how the new DSLR will perform in low light and with high ISO settings. We’ve already taken a look at standard Nikon D800 sample photos, but those were shot at ISO 100 with [...]
How would you like it if your work bought its employees iPads to replace one of your tools? I would be pretty stoked myself. Where I work, I serve big data pipes to business using late 90s technology to administer it all. In all fairness, I got a fairly new desktop recently. Anyhow, this is [...]
The initial batch of Nikon D800 and D800 pre-orders appear to already be sold out at Amazon.com. The online retail giant posted pre-order pages for Nikon’s hot new $3,000 DSLR just yesterday. Those who took a day to decide if they were going to pull the trigger are already out of luck. We don’t know [...]
Nikon’s posted several amazing sample photos shot with its recently announced D800 camera. The new D800 is Nikon’s latest full-frame DSLR camera. At $3,000 (body only), the Nikon D800 is designed for serious enthusiasts and professionals who don’t want to go all out and spend $6,000 on the Nikon D4. While I love the convenience [...]
Nikon released an amazing short movie to demonstrate the D800′s video chops. Most Nikon D800 buyers will be ponying up $3,000 primarily for its photo capabilities, but more and more photographers are creating videos for themselves and clients. As you can see in the sample movie, the Nikon D800 doesn’t disappoint and is fully capable [...]
The long anticipated Motorola Droid 4 finally has a release date. Verizon will start selling the Droid 4 on Friday February 10th for $199. The Motorola Droid 4 is the fourth version of the original Droid that kicked off the Android craze on Verizon. In the past few years Motorola has greatly improved the keyboard [...]
I have to admit, I used to get excited over having a device come out in white. It’s not the Apple thing that draws me, it’s the fact that Microsoft used to restrict Pocket PC devices to a grey color for so long that color options excite me. These days, it seems like every phone [...]
Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia’s head of design, sat down with the Guardian for an exclusive interview recently. During the interview, Ahtisaari discussed some of Nokia’s design plans down the road which includes several innovative ideas for the Nokia Lumia line which is powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS. NFC, wireless charging, and software color themes to match accessories [...]
It’s been a few weeks and the dust from a very active CES for phone announcements is beginning to settle. AT&T and pretty much every major OEM announced phones. Motorola and Verizon announced a few rehashed devices, one of which launched on January 26th, 2012. Nokia and Samsung were fairly busy as well. That leaves [...]
We got a chance to see the Sprint Galaxy Nexus briefly at CES when Sprint announced that it was in fact making it way to them soon. Sprint’s version is supposed to become available during the first half of 2012, but they have not finalized the pricing or specific launch dates for the Galaxy Nexus yet. There are [...]
Nothing stresses a network like a major event, and it doesn’t get much bigger than the Super Bowl. In order to prepare for the estimated 85,000 people who will descend on the Lucas Oil Stadium for Super Bowl 46 Verizon has pumped a significant part of 69 million dollars into ensuring a reliable and fast cell network. [...]
Verizon and Motorola announced the Droid RAZR MAXX at CES last week with no release date or pricing. Not getting that data was no surprise and sometimes phones announced at CES don’t get released for quite some time. I don’t know if anyone remembers the original, Windows Mobile powered Xperia. It wasn’t released until it [...]
Microsoft: Skype for Windows Phone is coming soon Yesterday, Hillel Fuld wrote an interesting article on Business Insider titled, “Here’s Why Robert Scoble And The Rest Of The Pundits Are Wrong: Windows Phone Will Be A Success“. This article stems from all the negative vibes that Scoble has been putting out about Windows Phone. Hillel goes [...]
I am excited for the potential success of Microsoft’s newest offering, Windows Phone as well. I don’t currently use a Windows Phone device as a daily driver, but I am ready to as soon as Nokia brings a Windows Phone to Verizon. Most of the reasons I choose Android over Windows Phone right now are [...]
Staples loves Tablets. Or at least Staples loves customers who might be interested in Tablets and wants to sell some more. So Staple is pushing out a new infographic with some survey data about Tablet users essentially saying people love their tablets. There’s some interesting, but not surprising data contained in the survey results. Of [...]
I visited with several headphone manufacturers and retailers and found three offerings to be quite interesting. I am sure I missed quite a few awesome companies, but of those that I met with, these are the ones I was most impressed with. In no particular order- Soul by Ludacris, Marley, and Yurbuds. I love music [...]
Hmmm? Convertible Tablets? Where have we heard that before. I have to admit, hybrid Tablets have always intrigued me since the bygone days of the HP tc1000 series. And let’s face it, if you use a Bluetooth keyboard with a Tablet aren’t you just admitting the obvious, that you like some sort of hybrid form [...]
There’s no doubt about it. Intel is arming up to wage some battles with ARM over market share in mobile devices. We’ve been seeing ARM this and ARM that for some time, but Intel is ready to fight back a bit, at least with some of the reference designs and concepts it is showing off [...]
At CES 2012 today Ford CEO Allan Mulally officially unveiled the 20123 Ford Fusion Energi, a plug in hybrid sedan that is capable of 100 miles per gallon, well the equivalent in electric power, and features the connectivity you would expect from a new Ford electric vehicle. The new Ford Fusion Energi is the official car of [...]
Chuong Nguyen caught up with Andy Lusky of AMD at CES 2012 and got a quick look at something Ultra. Well, that’s Ultra as in Ultrathin not Ultrabook. Given that everything with the word Ultra attached to it these days usually has thin attached, this Asus Ultrathin notebook has a few things that might be [...]
Earlier today, Chuong and I attended the 2012 AT&T Developer Summit where AT&T’s Ralph de le Vega and HTC’s Peter Chou announced the HTC Titan II. The Titan II is one of the 1st LTE Windows Phone devices announced to run on AT&T’s LTE network. The HTC Titan II has a 4.7 screen, it features [...]
This was an historic year at CES 2012 if for no other reason that it was the announced last keynote by Microsoft. Announced by both Microsoft and CES, that move has caused much consternation and gnashing of teeth about Microsoft (they want to move on, they don’t have that much new coming, etc…) and CES [...]
Here at CES 2012 we want to bring hands on videos to you as fast as possible, but we also want to make sure that you have good quality video. To do this, we paired the iPhone with a collection of great accessories from ALM to streamline the video editing process. We have got questions [...]
The Asus Eee Transformer Prime is one of those devices that have turned heads, forced some to save up pennies, and well, is just eagerly awaited by many. It has been drooled over and looked at as the possible Tablet that might give Apple a run for its money. The Transformer Prime is sleek, runs [...]
Well, let’s just say we more than saw this coming. Fusion Garage of the Crunchpad/Joo Joo Tablet/Grid 10 Tablet has certainly had one of the most tumultuous journeys one can imagine trying to compete in the Great Tablet race. Coming out of the legal and PR mess that was the Crunchpad and then failing with [...]
Today in Las Vegas at a press conference, Nokia announced the Lumia 900 which was teased at the AT&T Developer summit earlier in the day. The Lumia 900 joins the HTC Titan II as the only Windows Phone 7 devices in the US to operate on AT’&T’s LTE network. Nokia’s CEO, Stephen Elop was joined [...]
Lenovo’s IdeaPad Yoga ultrabook has all the features and specs you’d expect from the category: a 17mm thin chassis, around 3 pounds, and a smooth, streamlined design. It’s beautiful as well, following on the aesthetics we saw in the U Series notebooks that eschew the MacBook Air clone approach and go distinctly Lenovo. However, there’s [...]
During its CES 2012 press conference today, Intel took us on a tour of what might just be the future of the Ultrabook. That future is something the company calls ‘Nikiski’ and it’s a concept that replaces your normal trackpad, with a transparent touchpad, that can double as a gorgeous touchscreen when the Ultrabook is [...]
Stall surfing. If you follow me, the resident GBM Stall Surfing guru, you’ll know that this is the “marketing reason that shall not be mentioned” for Tablets. We all know that. Reading, using a Tablet, in the “library” is one of the main reasons Tablets exist. Well, it looks like Fujitsu is trying to flush [...]
The Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon makes the 4G LTE a real option for the numerous smartphone owners who need a physical keyboard. While these phones are falling away as thinner smartphones gain popularity, many users still want a physical keyboard. The Stratosphere doesn’t boast the latest specs, like a dual core processor, but the ability [...]
![My Custom Galaxy Nexus Setup [How To]](http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/step3-150x150.png)
I have to admit right off the bat that I have steered clear of adding custom ROMs to my phones for most of my smartphone life. Back when I was a long time Microsoft MVP, the modding phones and Pocket PCs was kind of a grey area and it was just better for me to leave [...]
Yes. This is not a typo, 3.7 Million. According to Andy Rubin on Twitter, there were 3.7 million Android devices on December 24th and 25th. This is 1st time activations too, it does not include factory data resets and upgrades. If it did, I would have contributed a couple to that total while I was [...]
Back in 2009, I really wanted to find a great smartphone that allowed for dual sim cards. I wanted to be able to use the same phone for my work number and my personal number. This wasn’t anything far-fetched and it was actually pointed out when I made that post that there were already phones [...]
Something that started to bother me back when I owned Mobilitysite was the rate of phone releases. The big 3 (Samsung, HTC, and Motorola) have been churning out devices so fast over the past couple of years. Just before I took a year off, it had gotten to the point where I could do an [...]
