Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is available for pre-order, Sprint QWERTY lovers finally get satisfied

Sprint customers have been waiting for a new QWERTY slider for a long time (the Epic 4G came out TWO YEARS AGO Sprint) and the Photon Q 4G LTE has answered their prayers. The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is available for pre-order now, and it will be available on August 19th for $200 on contract. The Photon Q 4G LTE is the successor to last year's Photon 4G, and it is the first worthy QWERTY device on Sprint since the Epic 4G that was released in 2010. If you have not already heard about the Photon 4G LTE, it is a QWERTY slider smartphone that has very nice spec list. The Photon Q 4G LTE has a 4.3 inch ~~720p~~ ColorBoost display, a dual-core 1.2GHZ processor of an unknown maker (hopefully it is an Snapdragon S4), an 8MP 1080p rear-facing camera with LED flash, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, Sprint 4G LTE (hence the name), and the star feature, a five row physical keyboard. The keyboard looks very much like the fantastic keyboard on the Droid 4 with its laser-cut keys and LED backlighting. The Photon Q 4G LTE also has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the Motorola skin, but hopefully Sprint and Motorola will update this to Jelly Bean and not abandon it as they did to the Photon 4G. This new handset looks like a fantastic handset and it finally offers Sprint customers a fine QWERTY handset. The only negative thing we can say about this is that Sprint has failed its customers with its slow LTE rollout. Overall, this is probably going to be the next best choice for Sprint customers that need to have their physical keyboard. Want more information on Sprint and Motorola's latest QWERTY offering?

Update: The Photon Q 4G LTE actually has a qHD rather than the rumored 720p display.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib

Qualcomm debuts Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor

Earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled their new Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor on their developer tablet in San Francisco. This processor is the successor to the S4 processor that we see on many of today's flagship mobile devices (ex. HTC One X, American Samsung Galaxy S III's, HTC One S, Motorola Atrix HD, etc.), and is one of the greatest mobile chipsets on the market. Based on the scores we have seen from Engadget , this new processor seems amazingly fast. This new processor blows away the competition and beats every other mobile device you could imagine in every single benchmark category. This processor is like a Bugatti Veyron drag racing against a Smart Car. We can not explain how much faster this device is compared to the devices that are out right now. This new processor leaves every single top mobile product in the dust. The Snapdragon S4 Pro beats the AT&T HTC One X, all of the Samsung Galaxy S III's, the Nexus 7, the international HTC One X, and probably

Hands-On with the new Macbook: Too Hot

Hot damn. Apple just recently added a new laptop to their lineup. No it is not just an iterative spec update, but rather Apple positions this as the laptop of the future. Well, the future of now. They say your next laptop will be like this, and maybe even the one after that. The company wowed the world with the MacBook Air back in 2008, but can they do it again with the new MacBook? Most of you will hear "MacBook" and a few different laptops will pop into your head. There's the current MacBook Pros, MacBook Air, and then the old black and white plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2011. The 2015 MacBook is an entirely new beast. Apple is not pushing the boundaries on what a laptop is supposed to be, but they are pushing the limits in many other areas. The new MacBook comes in three colors: space grey, silver, and gold. The space grey looks exactly like the space grey on the iPhone, and the silver model is identical to the MacBook Air. But if you pick
