Video: Palm Pre / Pixi / WebOS Hands-On Walk Through, Smartphone Round Robin

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 28 Dec 2009 3:31 pm
Week #3 of the 2009 Smartphone Round Robin has me on the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi, sampling Palm's new for 2009 WebOS platform. Think back to last year's Round Robin and Palm was on the brink of disaster.

Week 2 of the 2009 Smartphone Round Robin had me using two HTC-manufactured phones running on the Windows Mobile platform, specifically the AT&T Tilt 2 and the HTC HD2 (the HD2 is the unit in the photo above sporting the massive display).

Posted by Dieter Bohn on 21 Dec 2009 12:46 am
Week one of the Smartphone Round Robin is over and week two begins tomorrow.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 19 Dec 2009 11:41 pm
DROIIIIIIIID. Week 1 of the 2009 Smartphone Round Robin had me going hands-on with the Verizon Motorola Droid and the Sprint HTC Hero.

Droid Hands-On Video, Smartphone Round Robin

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 14 Dec 2009 1:40 pm
It's Smartphone Round Robin time and we're kicking off Round #1 with CrackBerry taking Android for a spin! I know a lot of you out there are wanting to hear my thoughts on the Verizon/Motorola Droid, since it's a device that many BlackBerry Storm 9530 owners have either been tempted by or even jumped ship to rather than making the organic upgrade to the BlackBerry Storm2.
