Verizon last Android phone in his name for a fast processor, strong 8-megapixel camera, excellent screen and a friendly interface HTC multitasking.

Motorola Droid owners now have a reason to be jealous. Verizon third and probably the best phone HTC Droid Droid is incredible, a powered device Android 2.1 with an updated version of the HTC interface is the sense. Incredible trackpad sport a stylish black and red, optical trackball instead of one, and a bright 3.7-inch 480 x 800 AMOLED capacitive touch screen. If this is not enough, the incredible comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, an 8-MP camera strong and the ability to unite the right of the box (take that, iPhone). Even if we have complaints, and the $ 199 price will be too strong for some, throughout the Incredible is a smartphone sweet.
Design

Awesome is a beautiful phone black with red accents (ie, its ties to Verizon). It measures 4.6 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches, which makes it very portable, thin and weighs 4.6 oz. It is much lighter than the droid Motorola (6 ounces), but the same weight as the GSM version of the One Nexus. He felt light enough that sometimes we notice in our pocket. At the top, there is a headphone jack and 3.5mm power button, which serves as a button Sleep / wake when the phone is switched on. The right side of the unit is clean and free of buttons, sailed houses a micro-USB port and a volume rocker.

When you return the most incredible and look in the back, things start to look busy. There is a large chamber, 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash red sitting on a plate with an odd number, terraced design that resembles a topographical map. We wonder if the peaks and raises the example of a design feature of arbitrariness, but when you remove the battery cover emblazoned HTC, you will find that they are there because the interior of the phone. He was also hit with more red than you’ve ever seen in a camera both inside and battery are bright red. You either love it or hate it.

Now do not you stay at home like a couch potato.

Today, we were invited to lunch by some picturesque Microsoft New York, where we have been able to get your hands on the new phones Kin. Although we only had very little time with the devices, our overall impression is that they are well constructed, and certainly can see what Microsoft will do with its role MOTOBLUR Loop-esque for the dissemination of social networks changes. We also like the design of small separate Kin One, even if you have a camera of low resolution and smaller screen. It’s like a hippie with a keyboard better, at least from the outside.

Our favorite feature is Kin Studio, which automatically backup photos, videos, updates, and contacts to the cloud and present your material in a calendar. In fact, we believe to be baked in Windows 7 Phone. Unfortunately, there are some areas that lack large enough functionality in both devices.

There is much that we like the Microsoft approach to their new handset Kin, especially when it comes to ease of sharing content with other Studio users and the functionality to view all the photos and videos that have entered into a slick calendar . However, in some respects, Kin feels incomplete, even given its target audience of the demons of social networks.

1. No applications and games from third parties: It’s just really strange omission, given that applications have become a form of social currency. We found that Twitter, Facebook and MySpace are integrated, but not games? N Foursquare?
2. N IM: Microsoft has told us that SMS is the primary means of communication with the target of Kin. But there are many people who want to make direct contact with people using other media such as Twitter.
3. No calendar application: Kin users live in the present, and apparently has no place livestreaming to plan too far. You can set an alarm if! And you can also use the online calendars.
4. No GPS: Although you can know how to reach the addresses on the cards Bing, step-by-turn navigation is not part of Kin-at least not at launch.
5. You can not share images on Twitter: This is a head scratching. Given how easy it is to share photos via email, MMS, and Facebook, we also see Kin owners post photos (and video) and its updates.

Lack Bonus Feature: Only relatives will automatically download the videos you capture with your camera online Kin Studio. The Kin Two high-resolution images (720p) is too large to download, but I do not see why Microsoft can not compress the images in the process.

This week, the Guardian has an interesting piece on how dyslexia can benefit from reading on small screens available on smartphones. The writer, Howard Hill, told how he struggled with reading and writing throughout his life because of undiagnosed dyslexia, but has recently discovered the ease of reading through the iPhone.

“I found this on my iPhone a little over a week … I really liked the story so I would buy a copy for a friend. In the bookstore I was surprised. It was more than 1,000 pages! If I had been presented with the book in this way, never been read. It would have been like climbing a mountain. ”

Neuroscience professor John Stein speculates that this is partly due to the brightness of the screen, making it easier to overpopulation “of the text that gives many dyslexics. Hill suggested that the limited amount of text on the screen prevents lost.

I find it fascinating because all the benefits of Hill and other dyslexics learn to read on small screens are the ones that bother me and keep me reading E-Ink screen, instead of my droid even if it is practical.

Pet Peeves: all we have. It’s one, two or three or ten things that make you crazy with their friends or work or technology. Seeing as many gadgets as I do, there are certain things I can not forgive more: bad style, design flaws, and everything they do, simply makes no sense.

While taking a look at the HTC HD2 this week, could say the force was strong with this one, but one Jedi, is not. This phone has worked more than one of my hobbies Tech even if, as a piece of equipment, everything is fine. (Check the review for more.) But this is obviously the time to lose a little style to the HTC G.

Before saying why I think that HTC in poor condition in this, I must first admit that the screen is great in this phone (but not after a couple of fingers were stained). I used to think that the Motorola Droid ($ 49.99) is the only phone today with a sexy looking screen, but the HD2 is certainly in the same category.

Having said that, HTC missed the boat with the design. Although they give all the praise in the world to take on the meaning of unemployment insurance and actually Windows 6.5, but the moving surface, the design needs some adjustments.
