If you’ve already decided whether you’re Team One X or Team One S , and live in the UK, then get ready to flex the plastic on Thursday. Both T-Mobile and Orange have announced that’s the day you can pick one up in store and online (and even over the phone if that’s how you roll.) Both networks are offering the One X for free if you don’t mind paying £41 a month, or you can scoop up the One S for a slightly more reasonable £36 — if you’re okay with the smaller screen estate and number-of-core bragging rights

Does your smartphone bill wave a Magenta flag? If so, then you should circle April 22nd on your calendar because rumor has it that’s the hallowed day HTC’s One S could touch down. Whispers of that purported launch date recently surfaced over at TmoNews , pegging the carrier’s exclusive dual-core S4, ICS handset for a Spring bow, although that tentative window could easily slip

Ever notice how often you lose your TV remote , but how rarely lose track of that social lifeline you call a smartphone ? So did the folks at Denmark-based Lumigon, that’s why they’ve put their Scandinavian heads together to build the Lumigon T2, a Android 4.0 smartphone that’s also a universal remote control

If you’ve been relying on a satellite modem for your daily dose of the Internet, you’re probably all too familiar with sub-1Mbps download speeds and an overall painful experience. That’s exactly why we’ve been so impressed with ViaSat and its new 12Mbps down, 3Mbps up Exede residential satellite broadband product . Yesterday, we journeyed deep into Camp Pendleton near San Diego to test out those 12/3Mbps speeds on the go-anywhere SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable , and now we’re back to play around with the enterprise setup’s more stationary sibling, the SurfBeam 2 Pro.

There’s no power outlet, land-based internet connection or even a decent cell signal in sight, yet we’re posting this live, at fast broadband speeds. We’re miles deep into Camp Pendleton, connected to ViaSat’s SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable mobile satellite transceiver and sending data to and from ViaSat-1 located more than 20,000 miles above our heads.

Verizon’s Voice over LTE ( VoLTE ) platform has been in the works for a while now, and according to industry insiders, it’s about ready to hit the big time. Catharine Trebnick, an analyst at Northland Capital Markets, told Light Reading Mobile this week that the service has already launched on a trial basis in two cities, and that Big Red plans to roll it out on a nationwide level in 2013.

Sony has unveiled a slate of new Walkman MP3 players today, with the launch of its B170 Series. Available in both 2GB and 4GB varieties, these new devices weigh in at just 28 grams, but apparently pack plenty of punch, providing up to 18 hours of listening on a full charge

With E3 2012 right around the corner, Reggie and co. want to make sure your oft-distracted eyes catch every drip drop of the impending Wii U news flood.
Sufficiently enamored with Samsung’s Galaxy S III that you’ve got to have one in the US before anyone else, and you don’t want it sullied by carrier customizations in the trip across the Pacific?
We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.
House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.
You wait for one Thunderbolt-compatible motherboard and then two decide to arrive on the same day.
Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables. Part of pre-release 5 of the RedPower 2 mod, programmer Eloraam has also thrown in pumps and solar panels to keep crafters busy — you’re no longer limited to light switches
Come summer, the 4G LTE-ready Motorola Droid Maxx will also be global-ready. Wondering when you can take your Verizon Android phone overseas without hassle?
