T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 Review

March 8, 2010

The HTC Touch Pro 2 for T-Mobile is a great windows mobile device, but with a big price tag.

Pricing

The phone starts off at 349.99 on 2 year contract, which is a big number for one phone, but with T-Mobile’s cheap monthly plans they really make other carriers look like they are robbing you at gun point.

Keyboard and Texting

The Touch Pro 2 has a huge keyboard that really is a dream to type on, it’s the type of keyboard that you would like to type out long emails, or when you need to fire a employee, the keyboard makes you feel a little better because the size of the buttons, and also the offset. Offset keyboard means that it is the same keyboard that your computer has.

Touch Flo 3D

The phone runs HTC’s Touch Flo 3D, which is a skin that runs over the windows mobile 6.1 pro, which kinda makes it run a little bit better, but come on people it is still a windows mobile phone and you still have the windows world famous lag that everyone has experienced if they have used a windows mobile phone before.

Internet Browsing

The Touch Pro 2 has the main browser to be Internet Explorer, but it has a copy of Opera Mobile which runs, smoother, faster, less laggy, and also it is easier to use. For example in Internet Explorer you have to open the keyboard to have landscape, but in Opera you can just tilt the phone and it tilts automatically.

Email

Every business phone has to have a good email client. iPhone, Blackberry, and now HTC! HTC has a great email client that supports Gmail which puts a big smile on my face. Their are a lot of phones out their that just have Aol, and Yahoo as email clients, where most people have other clients.

Summary

Make sure that you look at the videos to get all the detail of the phone, but overall this phone has a lot of great features, even though it is a Windows Mobile device, it is a bit on the pricey side, but again T-Mobile monthly plans are cheaper, compared to At&t or Verizon. So in the long run, spend more money on the device, and month by month you will repay yourself.

What’s Next From Apple

February 27, 2010

Hello everyone. Thank you for reading this new post. Many of you reading this article probably know about the latest Apple rumors and what they’ve done in the recent past. With the release of the iPad, many rumors have started up. That is what I will be writing to you about today. So let’s dive in.

Mac Pro:

The Mac Pro has not been updated in the at least a year. Many of you are expecting an 8-core Mac Pro or a processor update. I’d expect either 1 or even 2 Intel i7 chips put into the Mac Pro. We could also Apple release the 8-core Mac Pro. I believe this update will come silently. What I mean by this is, Apple will not schedule a press event to announce this update. Now exactly when this update could come, no one knows. I believe it could come as early as next Tuesday or as late as June or July 2010.

MacBooks and MacBook Pros:

Many of you were probably disappointed about the processors not being updated on the MacBooks and MacBook Pros the last Apple Keynote. I believe the processors will be updated very soon. The MacBook Pros will most likely receive the Intel i5 and i7 chips. I believe the 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pros will receive the i5 upgrade and the 17 inch MacBook Pros will receive and upgrade to the i7 chips. Like I said about the Mac Pros, the updates could come as early as Tuesday or as late as June or July.

iMacs: I believe it is safe for the consumers to go out and buy an iMac. There have been a few rumors around the web about a touch screen iMac being announced. I think those rumors are just speculation and there will not be a touch screen computer from Apple for at least two or three years. Once Apple updates the iMacs they usually don’t receive an update for two or three years. Don’t expect any changes to the iMac line up.

iPhone: If you can wait on buying an iPhone, I would definitely wait on it. I believe Apple will release their new iPhone (the 4th Generation) in June or July. Apple has not done much to change the iPhone in the last couple of product cycles. I would expect many changes to the iPhone this June or July. When the first iPhone came out, it changed the mobile phone industry forever. I expect this iPhone to have the same effect.

iPods: Apple usually releases their new line up of iPods in September or October every year. I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. If you are in the market for any kind of iPod right now, I’d say it’s safe to buy one.

Thanks for reading this article. I hope you enjoyed.

My Thoughts On 3D TVs

February 21, 2010

Hey guys it me Caleb. This is a video me and my friend Riis aka Danske Reviews did togeather. We are both going to share our thoughts on 3D TVS. Fell free to comment on the video its self or just comment on this blog post. so I am going to stop wasting your guys and gals time and get right into it.

I personally dont like 3D TVs  there are 2 reasons that I found why I dont like it but there is just 1 reason why I do kind of like it. The main reason why I dont like it are those stupied glassies. I am not talking about those hight end ones but those crappy paper type ones that you get with movies and 3D books.  They just dont work the best and they hurt my bose when I put them on also after wearing them for awhile they will give you a headache. Who wants to get a headache from just watching tv?

The next reason why I domt like them is there proce they are so high prices. For a good quality 3D Tv made by a good brand costs about 4,500 dolllars which is a lot of money. Normally I would think about making a invetsment like this but the technology on 3D is still new.  In about 2 more years the technology on 3D TVs would have had time to develope and grow.  Just look back to 2006, th Hd tvs back than were just like the 3D tvs now there were not that good but now there has been some time for it to develope.

The reason why I do like 3d Tvs is that it would be epic to game and watch movies with just picture playing your favorite game, it is almost like you are really there. It makes a whole new experiance with the user.

So thatnks for watchong or reading. Please go cheack my personal channel out: MrTechnoiGeek. So till next time see ya!!

Which makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.It also has up to 10 Hours of battery life. -From Apple.

The iPad looks like a great device, and very affordable to be an apple product, it has a lot of upsides, but there are a few down sides.

  1. No multitasking. This may not be a big issue to some people, but if they want it to be a business device they have to put that in, the same goes to the iPhone and iPod touch.
  2. No camera, people were expecting an isight on the top front of the device, but no camera at all.

That about raps it all for the recap of the iPad.

Ipod Shuffle 3rd gen. Revie

January 26, 2010

Hello guys it me Caleb. This is my first post on gadget experts.net. I hope you enjoy it so I will get right on to the review.

The ipod shuffle 3rd generation  has changed a lot from the 2nd generation . The ipod shuffle 2nd generation had buttons on it but the new ipod shuffle has none. You control all your content from a remote in the earphones, so this is how it work.

The remote that is built on to the earphones is made out of 3 buttons the top button to increase the volume and the button on the bottom is to decrease the volume. The button in the middle of the remote if to control all the music. ne click on the middle button will start and stop playing the track, two clicks on the button will skip to the next track and three click on the middle button will go back to the previous track. If you hold down the middle button for a few second the voice over will tell you what track is playing and who is the artist of the track, if you keep holding the middle button longer the voice over will let you pick the playlist that you want to play.

Let’s go on to the design. This device is made out of aluminum. It is almost like the unibody technology but it’s not.  On the top of the device there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, next to that there is a led indicator that tells if the ipod is off or on and next to that is a switch that turns the device on and off, also through that switch you can make the music shuffle . On the back side of it there is a stainless steel clip so that you can clip it to your belt.

The ipod shuffle comes in two different version one begging a 2gb version the other one being a 4gb version. I have the 2gb version that costs 59 dollars but the 4gb version cost 89 dollars. Now let’s talk about the voice over, the voice over is in 20 different languishes. I kind of like it but I don’t like the freaky guys voice but I believe that you are able to go and download different voices off of itunes.

Over its a great ipod I would give it a 7 out of 10.The only reason why I am docking it points is because of the earphones problem. You can not use the ipod with out the earphones that come with the ipod. I really dont like this because the apple earphones really hurt my ear so I want the freedom to go out and use what ever earphones I like.SO this is the end of this review,  Go check out my giveaway and stay tuned to my channel for more reviews.

Apple January 2010 Predictions

January 16, 2010

Hello everyone. Alex here from Gadget Experts today to share with you my predictions for the alleged January 27th Apple Event. First of all the event is supposed to be held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, California. No one know’s for sure what will happen. I’m basing my predictions on what’s being produced and written on the web. For sources I’ve used macrumors.com and a few youtube videos. Here’s what I think Apple will announce.

Apple Tablet or the “iSlate”
Spec Predictions:
Screen: I think the Apple Tablet will have a seven to ten inch capacitive touch screen
Processor: I predict that Apple will pack in a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. But, Apple could possibly partner with a smaller company such as Qualcomm (who produces processors for net books and cell phones)
Hard Drive: I predict Apple will have a 160 giga byte Hard Drive in this alleged Apple Tablet.
OS: I predict some kind of clouded version of Snow Leopard or we will see the middle ground between the iPhone OS and Mac OS X.

iLife 10
I predict iLife 10 will have a few updates to iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD. Personally I think iWeb needs an update as well.

iPhone OS 4.0:
I think that Apple will announce iPhone OS 4.0. I think OS 4.0 will be an update for all iPhone owners (excluding the original iPhone). I think this software update will include a re designed home screen (which you can see in my video)

MacBook Pro Updates: I predict the MacBook Pros will receive a processors update. I predict we will see the quad core i5 and i7 processors in the MacBooks and MacBook Pros, which we saw in the iMacs and Mac Pros. I also think the MacBooks and MacBook Pros will be updated to the quad core processors because a few PC laptops already have these processors.
