Sprint to start shipping HTC's Evo 4G LTE on Thursday

The new smartphone, along with the One X, have been in limbo for the past week since HTC announced that imports of the devices were being delayed indefinitely by U.S. Customs officials over unresolved patent infringement issues with Apple. The delay stems from a December ruling by the International Trade Commission, a federal agency with the power to enforce bans on products shipping to the U.S. The ITC ruled that HTC infringed on Apple's patent for data detection, which allows a mobile device to recognize items like e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and addresses in text and automatically move them to a calendar,...

Apple TV May Not Begin Until 2014, Said The Analyst

Consumers waiting for a TV set from Apple may have to sit tight for a couple more years. Apple won't launch any type of TV this year, says J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz. Instead, the company is likely to build up to such a product in two separate phases. First, Apple would expand its current TV box by launching a more advanced set-top module sometime in 2013 at the earliest. Then the company could unveil a full-blown TV with a display and speakers in 2014 or later, the analyst said in a research note released today. Why no Apple TV sooner than 2014? Moskowitz doesn't think the company would turn enough of a profit in...

Smart Watches With The Application of The Pebble

The Pebble smartwatch is the hottest thing going...that no one can get their hands on yet. The "e-paper watch for iPhone and Android" won't even be available in prototype form until August, but already it's landed its first partner -- the fitness tracking app RunKeeper.

HTC One X Challenge the iPhone 5

The HTC One X is living proof that big processors and LTE don't pair up easily in phones. This may offer a lesson in what to expect in the upcomingiPhone. Qualcomm has cornered the market -- at the moment -- for putting LTE functionality and the processor on one piece of silicon. Thus, we have the HTC One X (and reportedly the Verizon Galaxy s3) coming to Verizon with dual-core and LTE -- not quad-core as some had hoped. And we may be seeing a pattern: the same phone (e.g., the HTC One X) being announced in Europewith quad-core, then announced in the U.S. with dual-core. What does this mean for Apple? Well, the current A5X...
