ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity is FCC-approved. Release to follow soon?
by Ankit Banerjee on May 22, 2012 19 Comments">19
The high-end tablet market has been largely ignored over the past few months, with a slew of low-cost, but impressive Android 4.0 tablets hitting the stores. While there are a lot of such budget-friendly options, there is obviously something far more attractive about those quad-cored, high-resolution tablets, regardless of the much higher price point. ASUS has been slowly circling the high-end tablet market with the release of the Transformer Prime last year, which is slated to be followed by the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity. The flagship device, first spotted at CES 2012 as the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T, …
Toshiba Excite 13 passes through the FCC, on track for June launch
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 04, 2012 1 Comments">1
After enjoying rather modest success with its Thrive line of tablets in 2011, Toshiba has decided to mix things up and launch a new trio of very different slates. The Excite 7.7, Excite 10, and Excite 13 were all revealed a while back, and all three are expected to become available by the end of June. The humongous Excite 13 was just spotted at the FCC and can now be finally confirmed for the US market. With a 13.3-inch screen and a rather netbook-like look and “figure”, Toshiba’s future tablet should be made available in three different models. We knew …
Toshiba Excite 7.7 quad-core AMOLED tablet hits the FCC, are you ready to be excited?
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 19, 2012 8 Comments">8
Let’s be honest, Toshiba didn’t exactly hit it out of the park with their last batch of Android tablets. This time though, the guys at Toshiba have rethought their whole marketing strategy for this market niche and are bringing to market a fresh new line of “exciting” products. The Excite 7.7, 10 and 13 were all unveiled last week and are set to hit the market in the next couple of months, targetting technology fanatics concerned about specs, raw power, style and cool looks. The first of the trio we suspected to be made available is the 10-incher, as it’s …
Samsung Galaxy Beam appears destined for AT&T after FCC leak, global launch not far off
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 19, 2012 2 Comments">2
Two words – Smartphone, projector. What’s not to love? Do you remember the Samsung Galaxy Beam Android-based smartphone with a built-in projector that was unveiled back at the MWC in February? You better. Perhaps the reason that most of you might have forgotten about this particularly cool gizmo is that it hasn’t been advertised since its official introduction. As is normally the case with products that are announced to the nerd-elite at events like CES and MWC, are the gadgets we all know and love. Most recently though, the guys at Engadget picked up an FCC mention of the Galaxy …
The HTC One X Passes Through The FCC With Quad-Core Tegra 3 On Board
by Mike Andrici on Mar 11, 2012 3 Comments">3
The HTC One X is likely to be the first quad-core smartphone in the world to reach the hands of consumers. As such, it is probably the most hyped smartphone out there at this point, with both Android-related (us included), as well as general tech sites eagerly reporting every small bit of available information about HTC’s next flagship superphone. Add to the fact that HTC is equipping all smartphones in the One series with a new and improved camera technology, as well as the fact that the One X will launch with Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of …
Verizon Explains Bootloader Locking: It’s For Your Own Protection, We Swear!
by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 02, 2012 3 Comments">3
A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither, said Thomas Jefferson a couple of centuries ago. This is a tech blog, so why the heck am I bringing this up? Because Verizon’s recent letter to the FTC reminded me that the old “liberty or protection” false dilemma is still used (successfully) to trick us into putting up with all kinds of things, from airport pat downs to, yes, locked smartphones. But enough with the philosophy! Here’s what happened. A DroidLife reader and Verizon Wireless customer sent a formal complaint (based …
FCC Patents a Mysterious Device by Google
by Christine Torralba on Feb 08, 2012 0 Comments">0
I bet if you just hang out at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) all day long, you’ll discover who the latest to get a patent is. In most recent stories, Google is the latest to ask the FCC for permission. However, they have not disclosed what this mysterious ‘entertainment device’ is. All we know is that they got permission to use it in the four major US cities over the next 6 months. This got everyone pretty excited! The device was described as equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. According to GigaOm (who discovered the FCC application), Google submitted the …

by Alexander Maxham on Jan 21, 2012 4 Comments">4
Earlier this month at CES AT&T announced six new LTE devices they would be launching on their network soon, including the first LTE Windows phone. But there was a device that was a bit more interesting to us, Android fan boys, the Samsung Galaxy Note which has been widely popular overseas. It is finally going to land in North America pretty soon. A Canadian carrier also announced they would be offering the LTE version of the device sometime in the near future as well, of course no specific launch dates have been given for either device. The handset gained approval for …

Fujitsu Arrows F-07D Hits FCC, Challenges DROID RAZR as World’s Thinnest Phone
by Conan Hughes on Nov 24, 2011 0 Comments">0
We knew that the Motorola DROID RAZR won’t be the world’s thinnest smartphone forever. We just didn’t expect its title to be challenged so soon. And, the challenger? The Fujitsu ARROWS F-07D, which recently made the rounds for approval at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Filings at the FCC showed that the device is merely 6.7 millimeters thin. In comparison, the DROID RAZR is 0.4 mm thicker at 7.1 mm, whereas the difference is even more noticeable if you compare the ARROWS F-07D with the 9.3-mm Apple iPhone 4S. The Fujitsu device also remains slim almost throughout its body, with …
Samsung Galaxy Nexus Hits FCC With Verizon LTE
by Matthew Sabatini on Nov 16, 2011 2 Comments">2
For just about a month now, Samsung and Google (as well as almost every wireless carrier), has kept us all on the edge of our seats about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. After Google and Samsung released the final specifications of the device, they even threw in a rather vague release date. November they said, and now half the month has come and gone without a single “official” word.
LG Prada K2 Passes Through FCC, Carries NFC
by Conan Hughes on Nov 06, 2011 0 Comments">0
Although wild sightings of the phone have been reported since July, the new LG Prada K2 was never confirmed to be real, until now. Filings for the device at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been discovered recently, and they confirm, among other things, that the upcoming LG Prada K2 has Near Field Communication (NFC). The third iteration of the LG Prada series, the K2, will come with GSM/EDGE 850 and 1900, WCDMA 1900, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Motorola DROID RAZR GSM Variant Seen at FCC
by Paul Nuñal on Oct 27, 2011 2 Comments">2
Incredibly thin and powerful, the Motorola DROID RAZR was spotted making the rounds at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its regulatory tests and certification. The device, however, appears to be the non-LTE variant, as it happens to sport radios for GSM and WCDMA bands commonly associated with AT&T’s network. The device has been given FCC ID IHDP56ME2, although that does not say much about whether the device, in fact, is the Motorola DROID RAZR. The telling clue is revealed in one line that speaks of the tested device’s battery part number: SNN5899A, which is the same part number for …

by Elmer Montejo on Sep 12, 2011 5 Comments">5
Verizon Wireless just released the Motorola DROID Bionic, a powerful beast-of-a-smartphone, last week, and it won’t be too long before another powerful beast–this time from HTC’s camp–comes along, as a device rumored to be the HTC Vigor just made it past the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Said to be the HTC Vigor, the device with HTC model number PH98100 (FCC ID NM8PH98100), recently received clearance from the FCC for its CDMA/EVDO and 4G LTE radios. As is usually the case, approval from the FCC usually suggests the device’s launch or release date just around the corner. HTC has been mum …
Vizio Android Tablet Arrives At The FCC
by Aerol Bibat on Jun 14, 2011 1 Comments">1
One of the hallmarks of Android is that it is used in many cheap tablets and phones. Admittedly this is mostly because of Android’s semi-open nature. However, this has greatly helped in the operating system’s market penetration. Well, if there’s anyone who knows about being cheap and affordable, it’s Vizio. The US-based manufacturer of cheap electronics has made a name for itself with its line of cheap yet nice quality LCD TVs. Now it’s trying to branch out. Vizio announced earlier this year that they would be working on an Android phone and tablet. Well, the Android phone was spotted …
