Rumored HTC & Verizon phablet surfaces at GLBenchmark

There have been many phablets (phone+tablet that have very large screens) that have been sold around the world, but Samsung basically conquers the phablet space with the Samsung Galaxy Note. LG has also attempted it with the Vu, but it is only available in Korea, and it is a very terrible rendition of a phablet. Rumors for a five inch HTC smartphone have been going around the internet for awhile, and this device looks like it will fit the bill. An entry for a HTC 6435LVW that surfaced at GLBenchmark.com seems to look a lot like the features you would find in a phablet. This device is supposed to have a 1.5GHZ dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (probably with the Sense 4.0 or 4.1 skin), and the biggest feature of the device, a 1,794 x 1,080 display. The whole display could be 1,920 x 1,080 to fit the three onscreen Android buttons that are available in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. So far, HTC's Ice Cream Sandwich devices have had capacitive buttons that are not on the screen, but the new Sense 4.1 skin that is supposed to be released soon, could bring onscreen buttons. This device looks to have the specs of a premium smartphone, and it will probably be advertised as one. If HTC does release this phablet, it will have to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note II that is supposed to be announced at IFA this year. We think that this device will be branded as a One series device, or it will be branded as an extra large version of the HTC One X. Want more information on HTC's rumored phablet?

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
