To say that Microsoft misread the market when introducing Windows RT for tablets might be a slight understatement. Instead of giving affordable tablets the power of full-blown Windows, users were left with a half-measure that failed to meet their app needs. Unsurprisingly, RT’s been recently going the way of the dodo, and Microsoft’s even begun transitioning its non-Pro Surface lineup to run a full-featured ...

For the Microsoft Surface 2, it all started with a price drop back in August of 2014, followed, more recently (last week), by a mentions of a Microsoft decision to no longer manufacture the Surface 2. As far as Windows RT is concerned, pretty much all OEMs except for Microsoft have given up on the platform, and, judging by the looks of it, it is now Microsoft’s turn to put the final nail in the Windows RT coffin.“We are no longer manufacturing Nokia Lumia 2520; however, those still eager ...

A new report not only affirms that such an ...

Even at launch, there was nothing humble about the HTC HD2. With the largest screen ever grafted onto a smartphone, the first-of-its-kind Qualcomm Scorpion SoC, and the heaviest skin ever crafted for a Windows Mobile device (here called “HTC Sense” for the first time), the HD2 was a behemoth – the biggest spec beast ever devised. It married the touch-and-go simplicity of the iPhone with the power of WinMo 6 to produce the best Microsoft-powered smartphone anyone ...

It’s not difficult to recall the glory days of HTC. The Nexus One is easily one of the company’s more memorable smartphones. But that’s just one in a long line of fantastic smartphones and other devices. The EVO 4G, G1, Touch Pro series, HD2, Desire line, and several more are not only HTC classics, they’re considered classics by many for the entire history of smartphones. They each played a major part in what we all consider high-end smartphones today. And while HTC may not be the current front runner, it showed us in 2013 that it means business, and it will not go ...

Let’s face it, tablets aren’t perfect. We’ve had numerous editorials talking about it, and we don’t think twice about pointing these imperfections out in our reviews. Surely in life nothing is perfect, but there are surely those companies that try harder, and those that don’t. There are companies that’ll charge you the same amount of money for lesser quality products than others, and there are those that would rather lose a premium in oder to sell you what you paid for. Now that said, tablets aren’t new. We’ve used them for over a decade, and it’s interesting to note that ...
