Full news stories, recently, include the Nokia Lumia 900, Moverio, iPad desirability, Samsung Galaxy Note, HTC One X, HP TouchPad resurrection, HTC Titan II and Windows Phone smoke out winners.
Here's the news that is too short to report:
Here's something for the newest tech item around eye glasses with images projected on them that is Android powered Moverio BT-100 from Epson, released today.
It is referred to as a wearable display so that you lets you play Android games through a micro projection onto a floating see-through display (video follows).
Samsung reported that they sold 5 million Samsung Galaxy Note phone/tablets which shows that size does matter to new smartphone buyers and the stylus is in style.
Some could also state that the Samsung Galaxy Note meets needs as big as an elephant because Peter the elephant is shown be an avid phablet user.
The size of the Galaxy Note is perfect for Peter the elephant who plays the piano and the guitar on a Samsung Galaxy Note on YouTube. Peter also draws a picture as well as swipes the screen to show an apple. The video ends with the phrase "Bigger is Better."
Almost everyone wants to buy a new iPad but for those who won't buy, it costs too much. According to a Baird Equity Research study the main reason for buying the new iPad is the Retina touchscreen.
Priced at $499 for the Wi-Fi version the new iPad doesn't meet everyone's price points. The cheapest 10' tablet we can currently find is the 32 GB HP TouchPad that is selling for $219 at PCConnectionExpress (see TouchPad benchmark tests).
The study shows many factors why tech-savvy people want or don't want to buy the new iPad or iPad 2:
AT&T announced that the Nokia Lumia 900. will go on sale April 8 for $99.99 with a contract. This super Windows Phone will be backed by a huge marketing campaign. The Nokia Lumia 900. is the first 4G LTE Windows phone. Preorders start March 30 online from AT&T.
It has been reported that Microsoft, Nokia and AT&T are planning to spend $100 million marketing the Nokia Lumia 900.
There will be a huge television ad campaign as well as in-store promotions with AT&T reps carrying a Nokia Lumia 900 with them at all times. It will also come with free accessories. The price itself packs a lot of power against other competing LTE smarpthones.
