We have been due for a massive carrier road map leak and today, an extensive 2011 AT&T smartphone road map has leaked out courtesy of Pocketnow show casing a bunch of upcoming Android devices, two Windows Phone 7.5 Mango handsets and some BlackBerry 7 devices as well. So let’s run down the leak, shall we? [...]
My time with the HTC Flyer has come to an end, and my extended live and un-live review goes with it. It’s not a perfect device by any means, but overall I found it quite good, and I see many ways it could be truly great.
Nothing excites a geek more than a new gadget to talk and speculate about. After the recent Apple announcement of the new iPad, several members of the GottaBeMobile Gang and Notebooks.com gang got together to chew the fast and discuss our initial impressions of the iPad. Ben Lang, Josh Smith, Sumocat, Xavier Lanier and I [...]
I found a precious few minutes to guest on the latest MeetMobility podcast and talk about a variety of mobile tech topics including what’s happening with Tablets, the demise of the Crunchpad, Fujitsu’s latest, and a variety of other things. Along with Steve “Chippy” Paine, jkkmobile, and Sascha “The Netbook King” we have some fun [...]
Whenever Apple releases something new, especially relating to the iPhone, there seems to be little else to talk about other than the news that comes out of Cupertino. That’s the case this week with the release of the iPhone 3.0 OS and the new iPhone 3GS. Xavier and Warner spend some time talking about the [...]
When Xavier and I sat down to record this podcast we were a bit surprised at how much new hardware there was to talk about this week, but we’re enterprising lads and we came up with a roster of topics that I’m sure will get your gadget lust going. From the Pogoplug to SugarSync to [...]
Amazon made big news this week with the release of its larger Kindle DX, and while we still have some unanswered questions about the device and the service, the news surrounding it spurred a good deal of thought about how this might impact Slate Tablet PCs. Xavier and Warner spend some time talking about the [...]
Reporting and analyzing the news is always easier when you make up the facts and in GBM Podcast#71, Xavier and Warner take CNBC’s tech reporter Jim Goldman to task for his recent fantasy Mac that he used to compare to a PC. The Podcast also talks about Apple’s recent earnings conference in which Tim Cook [...]
Warner and Xavier are both checking out the very glossy HP DV2 media computers and share some early thoughts about the review units they are checking out, including all about the very glossy finish that is on every surface of the device. They also talk about the included external Blu-Ray drives that come with them. [...]
I got a chance to meet our friends from TechSmith in person at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Betsy Weber is the chief evangelist at TechSmith and she was gracious enough to appear in an InkShow. While TechSmith’s software is impressive, the one thing that sets the company apart is its excellent customer [...]
Microsoft is at it again, this time unleashing Giampaolo on a laptop hunting trip. He’s given $1500, finds the Mac sexy, but passes on it due to a desire to pay for computing power – not “brand”. G comes away with a HP HDX. Great stuff, Microsoft – keep it coming. Update: Loren Heiny [...]
In GBM Podcast #69, Xavier Lanier and Warner Crocker talk (and occasionally rant) the coming wave of subsidized Netbooks, prompted by AT&T’s news that it is beginning to offer subsidized plans in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

We’re back with another podcast. Wow. Two in a row and, as Xavier says, that’s the start of a trend. So, here we are with GBM Podcast #67 covering a range of mobile tech topics. Xavier and Warner pick each other’s brains on topics ranging from all the rumors about Apple unleashing a Netbook, to [...]
It has been far too long since we’ve brought you a GBM Podcast. That’s mostly due to everyone on the team’s hectic schedules in our non-GBM lives, and we apologize to those of you who’ve missed the podcasts. We hope that GBM Podcast #66 gets us back on the right track and that we’ll be [...]

We’re back with another podcast after quite a break due to some illness and real life work issues. (Quite honestly, Matt just ate too much turkey at Thanksgiving and is just now recovering.) And, as we come back to GBM Podcast land we’re trying to figure out what is dropping faster the price of Netbooks [...]

Truc Bui and I spend some fun time talking about Tablet PCs, NetBooks, Microsoft Azure, and Rob’s Dell XT digitizer woes (which may or may not be on their way to being resolved.)

It is my contention that both the Lenovo x200 Tablet PC and the HP 2730p Tablet PC are worthy contenders for anyone interested in Tablet PC computing. They both offer great processing power, good battery life, and a range of options for anyone to consider. They also offer some distinct differences and similarities. In GBM [...]
It’s all about Tablet PCs. Well not really, we cover some other topics as well, but since Truc Bui has been on a Triple Tablet PC Tilt and Warner Crocker is checking out the new HP 2730p EliteBook Tablet PC we spend some time talking about some new and some old Tablet PCs. And, in [...]
In GBM Podcast #59 we inaugurate a new feature for our podcasts called Nothing But Net. Yep, you guessed it, it is a segment in which we talk about nothing but Netbooks. But don’t worry the rest of the podcast covers the usual gamut of Tablet PC and Mobile PC news as well. Matt Faulkner [...]
Craig Pringle has been making some excellent contributions to GBM since becoming a team member back in the spring, but we haven’t been able to pin down our Aussie mate for a podcast until recently. After finally pinning him down we talked about a range of topics in the Tabletscape and mobile tech including HP’s [...]
New GBM Team member, Truc Bui, is revving up to produce some great content here for GottaBeMobile.com (not to put any pressure on or anything) and I’m excited to see what he comes up with. I’m especially excited to see his Back To School InkShows. Want to know what he’s thinking? Give a listen to [...]
Matt Faulkner, Warner Crocker, and Truc Bui took some time off from their Olympic viewing to get together for another GBM Podcast. In GBM Podcast #56 we talk about a host of options from viewing the Olympics on your mobile devices to the new Acer Aspire One NetBook that Warner’s wife won’t let him check [...]
Meet the Marshall. Actually, meet Matthew Dillon, one of our newest GBM Team Members. Given that he likes to be called Matt, and we’ve already got Matt Faulkner running around here someplace, I think I’ll call Matt Dillon the Marshall. (Now let’s see how many of the younger folk can keep up [...]
We’re back on track on the counting and it’s a good thing because we wouldn’t want the rookie on the show to think we didn’t know what we’re talking about :). This GBM Podcast is Number 54 and we talk about quite a few things during this 45 minute conversation. On a special note, this [...]
OK, we can’t count. Or I should say Matt can’t count. This is GBM Podcast #53 but we kept referring to it as number 52 in the show. So, if you get confused, blame Matt. After all the younger guys are supposed to keep up with this kinda thing, sparing us old geezers with ancient [...]
We’ve passed through spring and now it looks like we’re into a quite a summer on many fronts including some severe weather.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Review: A Worthy Successor to the Original (Video)
When Sprint had debuted the original WiMax-capable HTC EVO 4G nearly two years ago, it was an instant hit on the Now network. Not only was the HTC EVO 4G the first 4G smartphone in the world taking advantage of Sprint’s then speedy WiMax network, but it brought some new features and pizzazz to the [...]
Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
Autumn Dynasty Review: A Great RTS for the iPad
With its large touchscreen, the iPad seems like the perfect platform for Real Time Strategy games, and Autumn Dynasty proves it, mostly. Autumn Dynasty is an RTS iPad game with art that looks like tradition Chinese painting. The story involves quelling a rebellion while solving a mystery of shady noblemen. The story though, just serves [...]
Griffin GuitarConnect Pro Review: Record Your Jams with Ease
The Griffin GuitarConnect Pro interfaces with your Guitar and your iPad or iPhone so you can record your music easily using apps like Apple’s GarageBand.
