HTC EVO 4G vs HTC EVO 3D vs iPhone 4S


Iphone-showdown
Unless you've been living under a rock lately, you know that the iPhone 4S is coming soon to Sprint, with preorders starting tomorrow (Friday). But how does this device stack up with our two favorite phones, the HTC EVO 4G and the EVO 3D?
Take a look and find out.
This chart is current as of 10/06/2011.

In this chart (which you can enlarge by clicking on it), I've taken the liberty of highlighting which device wins in specific categories. So, for example, you can see that the EVO 4G clearly wins in terms of pricing, which is understandable since it is over a year old. On the other hand, the iPhone 4S wins in terms of on-board included storage space (up to 64GB), size (it's a bit more "pocketable" than either EVO), weight, and included accessories (earphones).
The EVO 3D wins in terms of processing speed, RAM, and color selection. Apple hasn't announced the battery capacity of the iPhone 4S yet, but we expect it will most likely be the same as the iPhone 4, 1420 mAH. However, even if Apple ups the ante and provides a battery capacity on par with the EVO 3D, the EVO will still come out ahead due to the ability to remove the battery and upgrade to a higher capacity.
Both the EVO 4G and EVO 3D also win in terms of storage expansion (the iPhone doesn't have this), 4G capabilities, included FM radios, Flash support, and a wider range of compatibility due to their micro USB ports.
Some categories come down to personal preference, and so winners couldn't be determined. For example, while I obviously lean towards Android as my operating system of choice, others prefer iOS. Some people care more about 3D-capable cameras than megapixels. The same goes for video recording (720p 3D vs 1080p 2D). Additionally, even though both EVO screens are bigger, and the EVO 3D supports 3D playback, the iPhone's resolution is higher.
When it comes down to it, the HTC EVO 4G and EVO 3D both won a combined total of eleven categories (the EVO 3D itself won nine), while the iPhone 4S only won six.

Ipad 2 Accesories

Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
