Big entertainment with the T-Mobile G2x 4G by LG

by Timi Cantisano 05.20.2011

With mobile devices becoming more powerful with each iteration and content becoming increasingly important in our daily lives it was only a matter of time before we would come to a cross road where content sharing would become a requirement. Although DLNA wireless media sharing has been around for a couple years its only recently that we see the addition of HDMI ports on mobile phones to allow output to HDMI devices. Whether its a television, monitor , or projector this HDMI output capability is one that can be used for excellent personal and business use with the only caveat being the cable. The tethered experience may feel awkward and archaic compared to our usual wireless experience but it’s a small price to pay for quality visual and audio.

Unlocked LG G2X doesn’t support AT&T 3G?

by Timi Cantisano 04.22.2011

Its been a couple days since the launch of the much hyped LG G2X from T-Mobile while initial reviews stated that the phone had support for ATT 3G (850/1900 bands) it seems that many early adopters unlocking the handset via T-Mobile and 3rd party sites are finding that ATT 3G is unavailable, only being left with 2G. While its unclear whether this is due to a baseband lockout or unavailable hardware support, we have yet to hear official word from either LG or T-Mobile. Many are looking to the community for a solution in hopes that a new ROM for the device will unlock the needed baseband. For those interested XDA-forums has a lively post regarding the 3G lockout issue. As for myself I am still waiting for an unlock .....

by Timi Cantisano 01.21.2011

Earlier this week we explored the Optimus Black’s capability to stream and pull media using WiFi Direct while that was interesting its been done before on countless devices that have DLNA support. Good to know that this isn’t the only trick the Optimus Black has in store for its users. While mobile devices are serious business LG hasn’t forgotten about having fun, with an innovative 9 axis accelerometer called the G sensor the Optimus Black is capable of putting these sensors to use to control functions on the phone. While the software and gestures have not been finalized LG did hint the possibility of tilting the device up would reveal/drag down the notification bar or holding down the hardware sensor button and shaking it would activate the camera. It will .....

T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 hands-on

by Timi Cantisano 01.06.2011

T-Mobile’s first 4G device, the Dell Streak 7. Powered by a Dual core 1GHz NVidia Tegra 2 Processor, it seemed quite zippy as the Mobile Fanatics took a gander and handled the device. The device has all the same functionality you would expect from an Android device with support for Adobe Flash 10.1 and front and rear camera for video chat. The venue was fairly dark, so forgive me for the less than clear photos. One interesting feature was the TV application which supported both on demand and live tv streaming. Although the live streaming portion was not working, and failed to connect. The on demand portion seemed to work great. Overall, the device was sturdy, and was very similar in feel to the Dell Streak that is available on .....
