DTS-HD is a high performance discrete audio codec that has been designed to enable streaming services like Best Buy’s CinemaNow to deliver content immersive 5.1 surround sound.

How Do You Kill a Samsung Galaxy S III?
We’ve all done it., killed a phone at one time or another. I’ve had one die in the toilet, I almost lost my G1 in a glass of tea, and I broke my first PDA by dropping it on the floor at church. My friend from church lost his in unique way; that picture [...]
Speck CandyShell for Samsung GALAXY Note 2 Provides Tasty Protection
So you’ve entered the land of phablets and bought yourself a Samsung GALAXY Note 2. You love carrying one device that serves as both (a freakin’ huge) smartphone and a (tiny tiny) tablet and you take it everywhere you go. That’s great but a device getting that much use and abuse needs t be protected. [...]
Samsung GALAXY Note 8.0 – It’s a Handful!
For the past few weeks I’ve been using a Samsung GALAXY Note 2 on and off. I’ve been quite surprised how impressed I am with the huge phone/diminutive tablet. Sure, it’s a bit too large and clunky to really qualify as a phone but, after using it for a while, it actually doesn’t seem [...]

(Read the Review) In March of 2012 we announced that the company was releasing a firmware update for the GoFlex Satellite that made it faster and more convenient. (Read the post.)

Is Nokia Dumping Samsung for Copying Their Technology?
I have been critical or at least suspicious of Samsung for many years for simple reasons: I find that they employ an ‘end justifies the means’ mentality, paired with a ‘fast follower’ technical approach, that allows them to overtake competitors with solid products that too-closely resemble the competition. Micron was the leading memory company in [...]
Why I love my Samsung ATIV 500T enough to dump the iPad…
When the iPad first came out, I was as stunned and impressed as anyone, and anxious to have one of my own. My wife is largely supportive of my gadget addictions, but regarding the iPad, didn’t understand where it would “fit in” as a necessity when I already had an iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. [...]
Look at How Much the Galaxy Market Push Is Costing Samsung
This year has been pretty awesome for Samsung – they have seen huge success with the Galaxy SIII, surprise success with the Galaxy Note and Note II, as well as big wins in all of their other businesses. And as I have said, the Samsung Galaxy SIII is one of the best phones I have [...]
OtterBox Brings 24/7 Protection to DROID RAZR Devices by Motorola, Samsung Tab 2
True story: My Pop (my father-in-law, but since my dad passed away he’s the only Pop I got) accidentally dropped his iPhone–a present from Sami and I–out of his truck while he was away on a job. Using the iPhone “Find iPhone” utility, he was able to track it down. Where, miraculously, it was still [...]
Are These Android Market Share Numbers Good for Anyone?
By now the Gartner global mobile phone sales/shipment estimates for the 3rd quarter of 2012 have been widely disseminated, and they are summed up nicely at places such as TechCrunch. For those looking for the basic bullet points, here goes: – Overall mobile phone sales declined ~3% in Q3 – Smartphone sales increased by 47% [...]
PowerSkin® Expands Suite of NFC-Enabled Battery Cases
One of the drags of modern smartphones is the fact that battery technology simply hasn’t kept up with a lot of other tech breakthroughs. Consider memory, for example. Back in the day, a 100 Megabyte hard drive could be a couple inches tall and half a foot long; now you can pack dozen of Gigabytes [...]
Samsung Ships More Galaxy SIII Phones in Q3 Than Apple Sells of the iPhone 4S
Yes, I am going upfront to call out the distinction that Samsung and Apple use different terminologies that reflect their distinct focus – Samsung is a handset supplier as just part of their massive and diverse business, Apple has the iPhone and iOS ecosystem at the core of their entire operation. So when Samsung talks [...]
Windows Phone 8 Launch Event
I’m at the Windows Phone 8 launch event this morning in San Francisco, waiting in the lobby of the Bill Graham Civic Center with roughly 150 other members of the media. There are probably fewer in attendance than originally intended, due to Hurricane Sandy’s grip on the Eastern states, but the mood here is upbeat [...]
