While I was at the HP event in Berlin, I got an HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Communicator, aka a really nice PDA phone. This phone has it all – Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, touch screen, GPS, 3MP camera. Except that it isn’t mine anymore. As you may remember, I got an Apple iPhone a [...]
I got the opportunity to play with the new HP Touchsmart IQ504 when I was in Berlin and took some videos of people interacting with the system. It was definitely the hit of the show. Everyone wanted to touch it, and once they touched, they stayed and played. With the Touchsmart, HP has taken simplicity [...]

HP is having a show all to itself in Berlin and Sierra seems to be having quite a time there and she’s already brought us news on HP’s TouchSmart All-in-One. But here’s some other interesting news on the touch front. According to HP’s Kevin Frost, we won’t have to wait for Windows 7 before we [...]
One little goodie I found in my HP Connecting Your World bag when I got to the event was an HP iPAQ 914 smartphone. I plan to give this phone a trial over the next few weeks to see how I like it. It’s running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 and includes a touchscreen and full [...]
I got a chance to check out the refreshed HP tx2500 in the product showcase today. The form factor and overall look has not changed at all, but the updated AMD Turion Ultra processor and ATI HD3200 graphics do create a noticeable difference. Check out the Windows Experience Index! This is using a OS and [...]
As you all know, I’m at the HP Connect Your World event this week. While the internet access at the hotel won’t allow me to upload video, I’m going to try to at least get you a photo review of the day’s events to make it feel more like you’re here. The day began with [...]
Keep your eyes peeled and your ears cocked here at GBM for news on what HP is rolling out in Berlin today. Sierra’s got some great video, audio, and photos in the can on HP’s tx2500 (the successor to the tx2000 series), the Voodoo, and the HP TouchSmart coming. She’s also having some fun interviewing some [...]
When HP acquired Voodoo, they acquired more than just a high-end gaming system manufacturer. Voodoo has some serious design skills, and they proved it with the appropriately named Voodoo Envy. This is a seriously nice system. Thin, light, and powerful, it will cause a serious case of envy in anyone watching you use it. At [...]
One of the most exciting announcements today for touch enthusiasts has been the new HP TouchSmart IQ504 and IQ506 all-in-one consumer PCs. While these are not notebook computers, I certainly hope to see some of the innovation introduced in the new TouchSmarts available in a portable computer in the near future. The TouchSmart uses a [...]
I’m in Berlin, jet-lagged after about 14 hours in the air with around 30 kids ages 9-13. I can’t believe my flight was with a school group going to Paris. No sleep for me! I had a short trip around Berlin and then the welcome reception tonight. Tomorrow starts the interviews and informational sessions. I [...]

If you’re looking for a budget set of headphones that still produce decent sound and rich bass, then you should give the iHome iB40 Headphones a look.

The Droid 4 is the most recent of Motorola’s Droid line.
