HTC Sensation 4G available at T-Mobile, $150 online

Posted in HTC by Conner Flynn on June 15th, 2011

Walmart shoppers got a head start on the rest of us, but now everyone else can get the HTC Sensation 4G direct from T-Mobile. The list price is $200 on a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate, and you can also get an extra $50 off when you order online.

That makes the cost $150. The same price that Walmart’s been selling it for. The phone features a 4.3-inch qHD screen, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, and Android 2.3 with Sense. Sound good?

Acer Iconia Tab A501 for AT&T hits the FCC

Posted in Acer by Conner Flynn on June 13th, 2011

You might remember that in March, AT&T announced plans to offer Acer’s Iconia Tab A501, which is a 3G version of Acer’s A500 Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet. Well, now the A501 passed through the FCC, with support for AT&T’s GSM 850 and 1900 bands, as well as WCDMA II and V bands. FCC test reports also show support for HSUPA and HSDPA protocols, but there is no mention of HSPA+.

AT&T will release the A501 in the second quarter of 2011, so we should see the device very soon even though we have no info on pricing.

Dell Streak 10 Pro launching in China this summer

Posted in Dell by Conner Flynn on June 9th, 2011

Dell has confirmed its 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, the Streak 10 Pro along with another Windows 7 tablet for enterprise customers later in the year. Dell’s priority for this Android tablet is in developing countries though and it will hit China this summer over the US or even across Europe.

That may seem like an odd move, but Dell is number two in the market over there and they can get it out earlier because they don’t need to ship the tablet with the Google Experience over there. Dell sees China as having “more interesting” growth rates, faster adoption rates and “much more savvy” users.
