I like my Android phones plain and vanilla, stock with no custom layers. Some XDA folks think the same because they’ve rigged a Samsung Galaxy S to ditch Touchwiz for the stock (read: better) Android 2.1 experience. https://gizmodo.com/a-visual-guide-to-android-2-1-5440720 The camera doesn’t work yet and there’s some other bugs but for the most part, it’s a…

Sprint Epic 4G Review: The Best 4G Phone

The second ever 4G phone has added pressure to be better than the first. Aldrin was better than Armstrong at punching skeptics in the face, for example. So is the Epic 4G better than the EVO? In almost every way. This is a big phone, but it’s not a heavy phone. At 4.9 x 2.54…

Samsung BD-C8000 Portable Blu-ray Player Is 3D Capable, But Don’t Bother Packing Glasses

Samsung debuted the world’s first 3D-capable Blu-ray player today, but don’t get too excited about relaxing to a 3D movie on a long flight. The BD-C8000 doesn’t offer 3D on-the-go, just when hooked up to a 3DTV. That doesn’t mean it’s not a handy little player on its own right; its plays 1080p on that…
