Incredible TV out video demo

Incredible TV out video demo EDIT: Thanks for catching my embarrassing typo, commenters. The adaptor plugs into the micro-USB jack, not the microSD slot. Wow. Wirefly was lucky enough to be visited by an HTC rep today who demonstrated the use of an accessory adaptor that turns the Incredble's micro-USB into composite video cables for your television. Check it out in the video below. No word... Read more »

Dell’s growing tablets

Dell’s growing tablets This shouldn't be surprizing considering that Dell's Streak - what amounts to a giant Android handset (albeit a special one) reportedly dropping this Summer - was initially called the Mini 5. The computer OEM has two more Android tablets on deck: one with a 7" screen and the other with a 10"screen, both of which officially make the Mini 5 miniature in comparison. The... Read more »

Android WePad is causing quite a stir

Android WePad is causing quite a stir I don't know if it's more a reaction to the growing market, the sensationalism of the whole iKiller terminology, or a genuine interest in the product, but WePad videos and images are all the rage at the moment.
